Previously:

"Jasper," I moaned.

I heard a gasp coming from the doorway when and I turned and looked at who was there.

"Jasper?" said the voice in a whisper.

BPOV

Fuck my life. Really?

"Jasper Hale Whitlock! How dare you get it on with some second rate whore in a closet when we are still going out!" yelled the girl from the doorway.

I looked her up and down, her fake boobs and tan disgusted me.

"Listen bitch, I don't know who you are, but I am not a whore. You look more like one than me!" I yelled back.

"Maria! We're over! We've been over for nine months. Go back to Texas. I don't know what God's name you are doing in LA, but it sure as hell ain't me!" screamed Jasper.

A crowd had been forming around us and Maria looked dejected.

"It isn't over slut! He's mine!" she yelled as she walked out of our apartment.

"Let's get out of here," whispered Jasper.

We made a quick exit and walked to Jasper's apartment.

"Bella, we need to talk," said Jasper once we were inside and on the couch.

I sighed. I knew this was coming. I looked at Jasper's eyes. His blue eyes seemed slightly tortured.

"Bella, I'm not in love with Maria," he started.

"I know that, but what was that all about Jay," I whispered caressing his face.

He stretched out on the couch and opened up his arms for me. I buried my nose in his chest.

"Maria and I dated during college. I thought I was in love with her. Everything seemed perfect, our families loved each other, we were supposedly in love. We were going to go for the whole shebang. A house, white picket fence, 2.5 kids," he whispered, "One day I was on my home from the grocery store when I got in a car accident and broke my leg in 3 places. Needless to say, I went through months of therapy and tried to get to walk again. I obviously wasn't able to have sex with Maria during the time and so you would think it would be impossible for her to get pregnant. Nine months ago, shortly after the doctor cleared me as completely healthy, I was going to plan something romantic with Maria. I found her at home with a pregnancy test, saying that she was pregnant and the baby was mine. I was overjoyed but at the time I wasn't aware that she had gotten pregnant while my leg was healing and broken. So we went to the doctor and he told me she was two months pregnant. I put all the pieces together. Maria had been sleeping around. When I told Maria to get out of the apartment we shared, she went crying to her parents, who essentially told mine. However, Maria had lied to her parents. She told her parents that the baby was mine and that I had abandoned her. For some reason, my parents believe Maria over me. I haven't spoken to my parents since the day they sided with Maria and I don't plan to. I hope you don't hate me darlin'."

"Jasper, I can't hate you," I said, "It's not your fault."

I looked up at him and he seemed so lost. I curled into him and started to trace the tattoo on his arm. Things would be okay.

We fell asleep just holding each other. No flirting, no fucking, just the two of us. Two broken people.


I woke up again in Jasper's arms.

"You know, I could get used to this," he chuckled.

"Well, don't get too used to it mister," I said, "I need to leave to take a shower."

"You could shower here," he said, with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Why? So you could take advantage of an innocent girl like me?" I teased.

"Pfft, you innocent?" he asked.

"Yup," I said and grinned.

This was what I wanted. Just me and Jasper.

A/N: See, no college = more updates! :) Hope you enjoy! I'm brewing ideas for a new story, that will be started the moment Price Stickers is finished. As much as I hate to admit it, it will be an Edward/Bella story. I'll give you this: Edward is mean at the beginning of the story. I just can't see a mean Emmett or more importantly a mean Jasper. But Jasper's a good guy in the story. :)
