Hey everyone! Here's Chapter 4! I want to thank everyone for all the awesome reviews! Keep it up!

Ok, I want everyone to know that I'm pretty much making all of this up as I go, so bare with me.

Remember- This story is Rated M.

Just a little teaser, more Jasper action in this! Woohoo! Lol, sorry, I just really like Jasper.

Disclaimer- I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT. Why must fate be so cruel?

BPOV-

The last thing I remember was falling asleep after Alice left. Then I was having a horrible nightmare.

I was running through my house, trying to find a place to hide. Everything was dark and all the doors were locked. I finally spotted the front door, so I ran towards it. But before I could reach it, I was tackled to the ground by someone. I tried to squirm out from under whoever it was but they were too heavy. The person flipped me over and I finally saw who it was. James. I started to scream and try to kick him off me but it was no use. He only sneered evilly at me and started to rip my shirt off.

After he managed to get my shirt off, he went for my bra next. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see this torture for a second time. He was groping my breasts and his hands slid down to undo the button on my jeans, when he finally spoke.

"You can stop your whining Bella, I know that you like this." But it was wrong, I realized this wasn't James's voice- it was Edwards.

My eyes snapped open to see that instead of James being on top of me, it was now Edward looming over me with a sneer on his beautiful face.

"I know you want it Bella, so I'm gonna give it to you." He laughed into my face. I started to scream louder and suddenly I could feel someone shaking me.

"Wake up… you're ok, you're safe." I opened my eyes to see that Jasper had been the one shaking me. It took me a moment to realize where I was. Then it all came rushing back to me and I wished it could have stayed forgotten.

I looked around the room, wanting to find Alice, but my eyes met Edward instead. Flashes of my nightmare ran through my mind and I couldn't control the sobs that tore from my throat.

"Please don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me like they did, I don't want to do those things again." I sobbed at him, hoping that my begging would be enough for him to be merciful and not hurt me. I doubted it.

He stared at me for what seemed like forever, then his eyes glazed over. I could see him tense and his hands balled into fists. Afraid of what he was going to do with those fists, I nearly flung myself at Jasper, balling his shirt into my little hands. Jasper wrapped his arms around me in what I assumed to be a comforting gesture.

I looked back toward where Edward was standing, to realize he wasn't there anymore. I relaxed a little bit knowing that the immediate threat was gone. Jasper was rubbing my arms up and down like he was trying to warm me.

"It's ok Bella, it was just a nightmare, I'm not going to let anyone hurt you." Jasper soothed in my ear in his southern drawl. I just buried my face into his shirt and cried. He seemed to understand my need for silence, as he sat down next to me on the bed and just held me for minutes or hours, I couldn't tell how long it was for.

I felt almost as safe with Jasper as I did Alice. If such a wonderful, strong and caring person such as Alice thought enough of Jasper to love and marry him, he must be an amazing person.

After a while, when my crying had subsided, Jasper spoke.

"Bella, do you want to talk about your dream?" he asked kindly.

"Not right now, I just…." I trailed off. I couldn't tell him about my dream without telling him about what happened.

"It's ok." He said. It was so simple, yet it was all he needed to say. Jasper knew I needed time and he was going to give it to me. I though about everything that had happened to me in the last 48 hours or so.

I had gone from having fun with my friends, to walking into a living nightmare. My father, the only parent I had left seeing as my mother had died when I was 12, was murdered in our own home, for reasons I didn't know. I'm not gonna lie, my dad and I were never really close, but it was still incredibly painful to have to see him laying dead in a pool of his own blood.

Then everything with James and Jake had happened… I really didn't want to think about that. And I ended up in some strange house, in god only knows where, being taken care of by the nicest people I had ever known. Well, except for Edward, he wasn't so nice. I was mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted. And speaking of Edward….

"Was…. was Edward angry at me?" I whispered to him. I didn't know why, but the thought of Edward being angry at me for any reason troubled me. It was probably because I was scared to death of him.

"What? Edward wasn't mad at you. He just…. has someone else he has to… speak with." Jasper chose his words carefully, like there was something else he wasn't allowed to tell me.

"Ohh…." I said quietly. I was pretty sure that there was more to it than that, but decided to drop it anyway.

"Jasper?" I asked tentatively.

"Yeah Bella?"

"Why are you being so nice to me?" I couldn't understand why a person who was practically a stranger, could be so nice and caring.

"That's a really good question Bella. It's just this feeling that I have towards you. It's almost like it is with Alice, like I have to protect you and comfort you. Your just so small and fragile, I can't help it I guess." he squeezed me to his side a little tighter a little at the end of his explanation.

I was touched that he felt this strongly about me.

"Thank you Jasper." I couldn't think of anything else to say to him after what he had just admitted.

"You don't have to thank me for anything, Bella."

We stayed quiet after that, Jasper holding me securely. I'm sure that if had been any other man than Jasper, I would be having a breakdown right now.

I was just starting to doze off when Alice came through the door, weighed down with shopping bags. She set them down on the floor and started pulling things out of bags.

"Ok, I only got a few things, but it's enough for now. When you start to feel better, you can come out shopping with me and we can get more stuff that you like. We can go on an all day shopping trip. Maybe go to the spa and get pedicures. Ohh.. I can think of so many places we can go. We're going to be best friends Bella, I can just tell." She said this all in one breath, I was worried that she would pass out. As I was I was getting light headed from just listening to her.

Wait, she said a few things? There had to be close to a dozen bags sitting there.

"Are you ok Bella?" Alice turned to me and asked.

"I'm fine. It's just, you got a lot of bags." I explained, trying to word it so I wouldn't offend her.

Jasper laughed a little bit at this and Alice stuck her tongue out at him. Very mature, how old were they supposed to be anyway?

"Bella, this is nothing compared to what my lovely wife usually gets when she goes shopping." Jasper said between chuckles.

"Well, what's wrong with getting all the clothes that you like?" She pouted at Jasper.

"Apparently nothing darlin." Jasper gave up with a smile at his wife.

Alice just smiled before turning back around and started to pull a couple more things out of one of the bags.

"Ok ladies, I'm gonna leave the two of you alone to do whatever it is that you do. If you need me, I'll be around." Jasper got up from the bed and went over to Alice and hugged her lovingly. I sighed, I wish I had that kind of love and devotion with someone. But instead, every chance I had of getting that was crushed less than 48 hours ago.

Jasper turned back to me. "Bella if you need to talk about your dream with someone. Alice and I are both here if you need us."

I simply nodded at him. I knew he was right, but I still had yet to tell Alice the details about what had happened, and I would need to tell her before I told her about the dream for her to understand everything.

Jasper walked out the door, leaving me and Alice alone.

"Are you feeling any better?" She asked me. I had to think for a moment, I had been so caught up in my dream and my little talk with Jasper, I had totally forgotten to check my injuries. My ribs still hurt, and the pain between my legs had decreased a little bit, but it was still very painful now that I thought about it.

"I still hurt a bit, but it's not as bad as yesterday." I told her truthfully. I had considered telling her I was fine, but something told me you couldn't lie to Alice.

"That's good. But you'll still need to stay in bed for a few more days." She reminded me.

"Do you know how long I've been asleep Alice?"

She looked at a clock on the bedside table. "Well, I left to go to the mall eleven this morning, and it's now almost five so you've been asleep for about six hours."

Wow, I thought, it didn't seem that long.

"Oh my god! Bella! Aren't you hungry?" She exclaimed loudly, causing me to jump and hiss out in the pain it caused.

"Oh Bella, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just remembered that you haven't gotten a chance to eat yet today. You must me starving."

"It's ok Alice, and now that I think about it I am a little hungry." At first, I hadn't really had much of an appetite because of everything that had happened. But now that the shock had worn off, I realized I was hungry.

"Ok, give me a second and I'll page the kitchen to make you something." She walked over to an intercom system on the wall and pushed a couple of buttons. It only took her a minute to have the chef making me something for dinner. I was in awe, they had an intercom inside the house, and a personal chef? What kind of place was this?

"There, all set." Alice chirped happily, going back over to the bags of clothes.

"Alice can we talk?" I asked quietly, afraid she was going to refuse and have me make a fool out of myself.

She stopped going through the bags and walked over to the bed and sat down next to me.

"Of course Bella, I said you could talk to me about anything. What do you want to talk about?" Alice tilted her head to the side a bit in question.

"Who exactly are you? And Jasper and …. Edward. Where am I? What's going to happen to me?" All of these questions had been tumbling around my head since I got here. Not knowing anything was making me very nervous.

"Ohh! Of course, I was going to tell you more when you were feeling better, but I can tell you now. Well lets see… where should I start?" Alice sat for a moment gathering all her thoughts together.

"Well… I guess we can start with me. My full name is Mary Alice Hale, it used to be Mary Alice Cullen before Jasper and I got married. I'm 22 years old, Jas and I got married when I was 19, we had been dating each other since the 7th grade, so we figured why wait? Mmm.. What else? Oh! I own my own boutique were I design my own clothes. Anything else you want to know about?" She asked me when she was done with her speech.

I was impressed and slightly intimidated by her. Alice seemed so strong-willed and energetic, like she could do anything in the world. She seemed confident, talented and intelligent, and she was sweet and funny too. She had found the man she loves and married before she was in high school. In all honesty, I envied her a little bit.

I was shy, plain, boring me that got so-so grades in school. I had a few friends, preferring to mind my own business and sit in a corner and read, hardly ever going out. And now on top of all of that, I was now ruined and broken. I sighed mentally, I was really starting to hate myself.

I was snapped back to reality when I realized Alice was still waiting for me to answer her question.

"Um.. Are you and Edward related?" I asked, not knowing if I really wanted the answer.

Her smile faltered for a moment and she sighed.

"Yes, Edward is my older brother. My other brother is Emmett, you may not remember him though, he was the really big guy that came in the room to… talk with Edward." She was trying to go around the details of what had happened in Edward's office and I was grateful. I was in no hurry to remember that event.

Then I remembered who she was talking about. There was no way that that huge guy could be tiny Alices' brother, it just didn't make any sense.

"I remember him, but it's hard to imagine the two of you are related."

Alice laughed and it sounded like wind chimes. "Yeah he is really big, but he just looks all intimidating and scary. Em is just an overgrown teddy bear. He has a wife, Rosalie, she's really nice. Maybe when you start to feel better, you can meet Emmett and Rose."

"Yeah, maybe." I wasn't sure if I was ready for all that quite yet.

"As you already know, Jasper is my husband. He's the same age as me. He has a brother, Peter who's 27. He and Peter lived in Texas with their parents until Jasper was 9 and they moved to Seattle. And he co-owns a popular club in Seattle with my other brother Emmett. That's about it, if there's anything you want to know, I'm sure Jasper would be happy to tell you." She smiled.

"And as for your question about where you are, we're at my one of my families houses in Port Orford, Oregon. Well, technically, Edward owns it and lives here, but myself, Jasper, Emmett and Rose come up here to Edwards place for a week or two every few months so we can all spend some time together and catch up." She explained to me. Port Orford? That was a small port town on the south coast. Nearly 9 hours away from Seattle. I groaned mentally. I must have been out of it for a long time when James was driving here from Forks.

"And I don't know what's going to happen to you. I mean you'll have to stay here for a few weeks and then you can talk to Edward about….." She was cut off by a knock on the door.

"That must be your food." Alice jumped up and opened the door. Behind it wasn't my dinner, but the one person I didn't want to talk to.

Edward.

PLEASE READ ME!-

Oohhhh…. What does Edward want? Only I know…. Muahhaha! Lol.

Ok, I know there wasn't a lot of action in that chapter, but I thought it was necessary to explain some more things about everyone

Sorry it took me a little while to post this, I kept going through it and finding something I didn't like about a part of it, so I'd have to rewrite bit and pieces of it. Hopefully it won't take as long for the next chapter.

Little side note here- On my twitter account, I'm going to start posting stuff about when I'll update and maybe post some teasers. So if you want to, you can follow me at Sophia_Hale. No pressure or anything, just a suggestion.

Please review. Every review I get makes my fingers type faster.
