A/N: It's been a while since I last updated, I'm sorry for that :D but I'm back on track now, the dark stage sorta came back for a while and I refused to write this story during that stage, so if it takes me a while to update, then that's probably the reason why :]
Anyways, there isn't much of a difference from this chapter and the 2nd chapter of 'Love isn't always fair'.
EPOV
Sadness was eating me alive. I knew that finding love in Bella was too good to be true. I was stupid enough to think that anyone could love me. As I walked out of the house, I looked over at Alice and she looked back at me. Anger suddenly filed my entire body. Alice, the only person who never let anything get to her, looked so helpless, lost, hurt, betrayed, and angry. Her eyes were dead. I watched as she walked to her car, normally she'd skip around. I followed her home but I lost her on the way. I panicked when I didn't find her at home. I got out of my car and then in less than 5 sec. I was at the boundary line. I arrived there just as Alice stepped out of her car and made her way to the line. I suddenly knew that she was asking for death. She was going to cross the line.
She actually surprised me when she said, "I come in peace, I want death, and I know that the Volturi won't kill me. You probably would be happy to" I could her happiness in her tone.
I was expecting Jacob or some other wolf to agree but it was Sam that spoke up "We don't kill without a reason," he said it so calmly, I wanted to rip his head off. My little sister wanted death and he was talking about this like it was nothing.
Alice spoke up then, "If I were to cross the line, would you promise to kill me, just me. My family deserves to live." This time Jacob spoke "Why do you want death so badly anyways? Did one of the leeches find someone better?" Alice just nodded and Jacob's face softened. "I'm sorry" he whispered "I didn't know. What happened?" Since when did he care?! Alice looked at him and said "Jasper left me for… Bella"
Jacob's POV
What the hell just happened? At first I was excited to see Alice here, asking for death (cruel, I know) but as soon as I got a good look on her face. I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She looked so helpless and when she said that Jasper left her for Bella, I knew that something was off. Why would Jasper want Bella, and why would Bella want Jasper? Wasn't Jasper the leech that tried to kill her? Nothing made sense here. I watched Alice and Edward until they disappeared knowing that now my thought would be private. I was going to get to the bottom of this. I knew Bella, better than any of the bloodsuckers; she would never do something like this. Seth was staring in the direction they had left.
"Come on" I said. "Let's go" I started to walk into the direction of my house, with Seth behind me. Seth had a crush on Alice, it was clearly written all over his face. The world has officially gone mad, I thought as I phased and ran into the forest and towards my own private thinking place.
APOV
I was extremely mad; the Quileute wolves were always trying to kill one of us and when I finally ask for death, they refuse to give me it! Edward was right though, Jasper, Bella, Edward, and I needed to talk. I just didn't want to. Jasper left me because he realized that I wasn't worth it, that Bella was better than I was. I had to face it and learn to accept it. I was born to die alone; I wish I had died in the asylum or that James would've killed me when I was still human. The pain I was feeling was too much, in my whole life, I have never felt this way. I saw Jasper's motorcycle parked in the garage as I took a deep breath and opened the doors. Rose immediately hugged me and then Emmett joined the hug too. I raised my eyebrow at them and Rose gave me a look that told me that she knew about the break up.
Emmett was the one who broke the silence by saying "Geez, Alice, You smell like wet dog" his face wrinkling in disgust. I giggled and then turned towards Rose whose eyes were wide open. "What did you do?" she said. "Nothing, honestly" I said "You can ask Edward here, he was with me" Edward nodded letting Rosalie know that I was telling the truth. "Alice" I hear Jasper say. I held my breath and turned around.
I ended up being the one who was talking, like this was MY fault. Perhaps it was my fault; maybe I just wasn't good enough for him. I just didn't understand anything that was happening. What had I done wrong?
Jasper didn't say a word through everything which got me angry. No explanation, nothing. I needed him to tell me something. So, I just yelled, hoping he would yell back, I didn't want to feel sadness, so I went with anger, hoping it would get him to talk but all he said was "I'm sorry" and that was it.
I continued to yell at him. So I start a fight because I need to feel something, was the first thing that ran through my mind as I was yelling at him. After a while I just gave up. There was no use in continuing.
You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray. And I stood there loving you and wished them all away. And you come away with this sweet little story of the mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you. These words came into my head. Perhaps he never loved me; maybe it was all a show. If it was, then I must've been really stupid. But wouldn't have Edward warned me? The words related to what was happening to me right now, but it was different. I had gotten through to Jasper, but what had changed?
Everything was piling on top of me, and I couldn't take it anymore. "I'm sorry" Jasper said his eyes full of pain. I couldn't tell if it was my pain inflicting him or his own pain, for hurting me. "Just leave" I whispered knowing he had heard me. "I need to be alone right now, we'll talk later" he nodded but before he left he whispered another "I'm sorry but it's best for the both of us" he said it so softly I couldn't tell if he had really said it or it was just me who wanted to hear those words.
As soon as he left, I broke down; I couldn't take this. It was all coming down crashing on me, all at one time, it was too much for me to handle now that I'm on my own.
EPOV
Bella stuttered a lot while we were talking. I wanted to know why she and Jasper had gotten together. I could hear Alice yelling at Jasper and his continuous apologies. Although Alice might seem angry, she was really hurt. She was just putting up a brave face.
When I had left Bella, our entire family fell apart. Esme would always cook, pretending Bella would be eating it; Carlisle locked himself up in his study. Jasper wouldn't talk to anyone but Alice, because he continued to blame himself. Emmett wasn't the same and even Rosalie was a lot quieter. I walked away from them and fell into great depression. Alice, although she loved and missed Bella, who was her best friend, she put on a brave face and with her optimism she slowly picked up the broken pieces of our hearts and began to put them together. She was our light in the darkness.
Seeing her so alone and hopeless hurt all of us. I knew Jasper felt guilty but that go me angry because he was the cause of her pain.
A/N: Dark themes still, there's more sadness and stuff coming in the next few chapters but as soon as Alice gives Seth a chance, they'll be a lot more happiness with little glimpses of pain that is until Seth… If I say it now it'd ruin everything :)
BTW, 'So I start a fight because I need to feel something' & 'you put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray. And I stood there loving you and wished them all away. And you come away with this sweet little story of the mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you', come from Taylor Swift's 'Cold as you'. It's one of my favorite songs from her. I may not like her that much any more, but I love her songs, because I can relate to them so well :)
