Yay! Chapter three is up. I hope you like it and please review! I would like to thank StraberryTenTen and crazysalright for reviewing chapter two.

Edwards POV

I swallowed hard and looked Jasper in the eyes. We had to be as quiet as we could, or Alice would surely hear us.

"What?" I hissed at Jasper, not trying to sound too harsh. That was my sister he was talking about.

"Jasper, why? You've been with her forever! What is this ...all of the sudden?"

I calmed myself, I had done the very same thing the previous night and Jasper was a highly sensitive vampire. I didn't want to hurt him. His thoughts were remorseful, and I knew I had to gain his trust back.

"Jasper, you know you can tell me anything, I just wasn't expecting this."

I shook my head, waiting for him to speak up.

"I know Edward, I just, maybe I might have feelings for someone else." He blurted out as fast as he could, gazing down at my thick carpet. My eyes grew wide.

As hard as I tried to read his mind again, it was under wraps. He was a clever one, reciting the pledge of allegiance in Pig Latin over and over again.

"Who?"

He grunted like he didn't want me to know. He changed the subject.

"What happened with Bella? Alice had a vision that she all but kicked you out of her room." Of course he would bring up a thing like that.

"Oh yes, that happened. It turned out we both had similar...regrets. But that's beside the point. I want to know Jasper, please."

I pried, not knowing what had gotten into me. I had never been more curious about another's thoughts since Isabella, and no one was better in my family at hiding them than Jasper.

He looked back up at me.

"Alice knows. She had a vision and we had a conversation that had ended... badly while you were gone. We were going to tell you earlier, but you had too much on your mind to think about already."

Now I understood why Alice had been acting the way she was lately. Come to think of it, she hadn't spoken to be in the two days I'd been home. Were they over?

"Are you two still together?" I asked.

"Yes," he sighed. "But maybe not for long, I still want her, just... I need to figure out some things first, and I need you to help me."

I couldn't see where this was going and it frustrated m

e.

"Of course, anything for you Jasper, but first you have to answer my original question. Who is it that you love also?"

He got off the sofa, and sat on the floor next to me, his voice raised a little bit.

"Edward, I'm so confused. It's like my original teen years all over again." He would have been on the verge of tears if he could still cry.

"I have never felt this way about anyone, not even Alice and I'm afraid that if I tell you who the family might drive me away!"

Now, he had me really concerned. I was going to turn to face him, when I felt his pale, smooth forehead pound into my shoulder. We never made physical contact, but I liked it. All I wanted to do was comfort him. He had a sense of helplessness to him like Bella, but in a slightly different way. I stroked his blonde head of hair. All that mattered to me at the moment was Jasper. I needed to make him feel better.

"Drive you away? Jasper, we would never do that."

I said in a gentle, soothing voice I usually saved for the humans.

"Edward, when you left, I wasn't myself. I never realized how much I needed you until then. Nobody told you this but I was on my way to get you in Italy when Rosalie told me the news that Bella had died. I came back right away, but I wish I had just kept on going. I needed to see your face."

His voice was a passionate whisper as he looked me straight in the eyes. The night still had only just begun. I caught my breath in my throat, a part of me wishing I had spent more time with my blonde brother. I had neglected him when he needed me most.

I almost forgot my question, but if I wanted to figure this out, I needed to be persistent.

"Jasper, please just tell me..."

"Oh Edward come on! I know you can figure this out, please don't make me say it! I don't want you to be ashamed of me, or embarrassed, but I can't put this aside any longer!"

He shouted, at this point not caring if the whole house heard him.

I contemplated for a second. Jasper couldn't stay away from me, and he said he realized how much he needed me when I left. I put two and two together and my eyes widened. I think I understood. Jasper moved closer two me. His electric touch on my skin again.

"Jasper, do you... love me?" He was trembling now.

"Yes."

I turned to him, our faces less than an inch apart. I couldn't tell you if it was the heat of the moment, or something truly was developing between us but whatever it was put me on edge. I pressed my lips to his, wrapping my arms around his small neck as he deepened the kiss. I was glad he came to talk to me.

Well, that's chapter three! Romance was harder than I thought, but I hope you enjoyed it. Chapter four will be in Jaspers POV, so stay tuned, and don't forget to review!
