Thanks for all of the reviews and likes! I'm really bad at replying to reviews and I apologize. I have two baby girls that constantly keep me on my toes. I'll try to reply back this time around. So please review and let me know what you think!

Here's chapter two, hope you enjoy :)

I do not own Twilight.

I didn't think much as I ran down south. It probably would have made sense to take a car but I knew I would get to Forks faster if I ran. When we left our house we didn't have much time to empty the house and we ended up leaving a great amount of items there, a car or two included.

Considering what had happened on Bella's birthday when my blood lust took over I hunted as much as possible. I didn't stray away from the task at hand of getting there but whenever I got a whiff of a herd of animals near by I hunted. I had to make sure I wouldn't be tempted again. I couldn't be tempted. Even if she was alive. The thought caused em to wince and if possible I ran faster.

I cursed myself as soon as I got into Washington, knowing I had to run by the old Cullen house to get a car. I wasn't sure what I would find over at the Swan residence. Would I find a mourning Charlie, or Bella in bad shape?

The keys were still hanging inside in the kitchen. Most of the house looked untouched, aside from the dust that had accumulated all around. The only thing missing really was clothes from the bedrooms and some personal items. I grabbed a set of keys to the Mercedes that was left behind and two seconds later I was speeding into town.

It seemed a lot longer to get to the house. I hadn't personally been here before, or at least inside. Edward had me watch outside a few times when he was on a hunting trip but I was always in the tree line behind the house. Once the house was in view I felt a hint of panic as I saw no cars in the driveway. I debated going to the hospital and seeing if she was maybe there, but I wasn't sure what everyone would think. I decided on just parking the car and waiting inside. I hoped if Charlie came home he wouldn't attempt to shoot me. If anything did happen I wanted to ihelp/i, but I wouldn't blame the man if he hated all of us.

I simply stood in the living room waiting for any sound of a car pulling up and hoped that it would be Bella's loud truck. What would she say if she walked in that door, unharmed and untouched? I hadn't given any of that much thought. She was more than likely heart broken when Edward announced the family was leaving and he didn't want her. Heart broken at first and maybe hatred later. She could hate all vampires now for all I knew. And what I almost did to her? Hell I was the one who caused all of this mess.

But I waited anyway, patiently and still as a statue. I had to shut my mind off so I could be patient. I had no idea what had happened and what was next.

It could have been hours later but finally there was some noise outside. It was that damn truck and I couldn't help the wash of relief that came over me. I smiled slightly, only because I didn't know if it would be her that would walk inside. It was a few minutes later when I heard the front door being played with. And then two scents tortured my senses. One was something that could only be described as Bella, and the second smelled simply of wet and disgusting dog. I quickly went to the front door and the girl turned around and slammed into me.

"Oh!" She cried out and threw her arms around me. I stiffened. I could not harm her and I didn't want to but it didn't change the fact that she smelled so good.

"Bella?" I asked, cautiously putting my arms around her.

"Jasper, you came back! Oh my god." She hugged me tighter and after a few minutes I had to pull back. I held onto her arms gently and looked down at her, inspecting her. She looked fine at least, tired but okay.

"Alice saw you jump off a cliff." I said slowly. I was dumbfounded with the relief that was still soaking in. I couldn't even rein it in so I knew she could feel it but right now I didn't care. "She didn't see you come up."

Almost instantly her cheeks were turning a light shade of pink. I missed that and it caused my lips to twitch into a small smile for a moment. "I was uh...jumping. For fun. All the boys on the reservation do it." Her voice was quiet as she explained.

"She didn't see you come up." I frowned, wondering why. I knew we always relied on Alice's visions too much and I knew they were always subject to change. But if she came up she should have been able to see it.

Bella just shrugged. "I don't know why." It was obvious she was hiding something but I didn't push it. I was just glad she didn't freak out when she saw me.

I saw the bags under her eyes and she looked more pale than I remember. "Come on and sit down, you look like you're about to drop any minute." I suggested and headed back into the living room. Once she sat down I took a seat on the other side of the couch. I didn't know how close was comfortable for her and I didn't want to push my luck. "I'm sorry I came." I said finally after a few moments of silence. "When Alice told me what she saw I had to make sure you were alright. I know it was wrong of me but I thought...if any way I could help I would."

She smiled some and shook her head. "It's alright, it's...nice to see you. Did the...others come back with you?"

I shook my head. With the emotions she had rolling off of her I knew she was more or less asking about Edward. "It's just me. The others don't think we should interfere...just in case you moved on. And Edward hasn't been with us since we left really."

I didn't miss the way she winced when I said his name and I made a mental note to not do it again. She just nodded slowly and looked down at the floor. "I never got over anything." She mumbled after a few seconds. "It broke me when you guys left. If it weren't for Jacob...I don't know what I would be. Probably a zombie still."

I frowned again but I nodded. "I was afraid that would happen." I hesitated before I continued with what I wanted to say. "I don't know if you blame me for everything that happened but I do blame myself. Bella," I looked over at her and met her eyes. "I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you, or cause all of this."

Before I even finished she was shaking her head and she smiled my way. "I never blamed you. I blame...him for making what happened into a big deal."

I knew I would always blame myself but I nodded, just glad that she didn't hold a huge grudge towards me. "You're...okay now..right?" It was a bit of a delayed reaction to what she had told me before but I had to know.

I watched as she settled herself back into the couch and sighed. "I guess. I have Jacob but..." She was stopping at what she wanted or needed to say. "Well," she bit down on her bottom lip and looked at me sheepishly. "Jacobs sort of a werewolf...and now that yo-"

I cut her off as soon as the words sunk in. "Werewolf? Do you have to find the next monsters once the vampires leave town?" I sighed. "That does explain the wet dog smell, though."

She self consciously sniffed herself and mumbled. "I don't smell anything."

I was about to say something when I heard the front door open and close again. I would have sat still, assuming it was probably Charlie, but the wet dog smell just intensified and I jumped up with a growl building in my chest.

As soon as the growl left another one was replaces by the boy who stood in the door way.
