Alright... this is chapter five. I haven't gotten any reviews since chapter two, so please don't forget to review!
Edwards POV
We were on my sofa in my room. I was holding Jasper closer than I had ever held anyone. I found myself liking not having to worry about harming him. With Bella I was always on my guard, and with Jasper, I could let that guard down.
"Jasper?"
"Mmmhmm?" He replied, his voice low and relaxed.
"I love you." I looked into his thoughts. I love you too, Edward. He was a bit worried.
"Were telling the family tomorrow, aren't we?"
He asked out loud. I sighed, knowing that we musnt put it off.
"Yes. Together. I honestly don't know how they will react... but I'm guessing Carlisle will be supportive." I was trying to be vague, because in a house full of vampires, everyone could hear almost everything. Hopefully we were being silent enough that they could only hear faint noise, but if not, I didn't want something to accidentally slip.
Jasper turned over to face me, silently kissing my jaw like he did earlier. I loved when he did that.
The sun had stopped rising, and it was a new day. For a moment, I let my mind wonder to Bella. What was she doing? Probably with that mutt... a low growl ripped through my throat, but I repressed it. I was with Jasper, and it wasn't my problem right now.
Jasper was the first of us to stand, adjusting his sweater and running his fingers through his snowy blonde hair. He was handsome. His slender muscles stuck to the sweater, so you could see the outline of his abs.
I stood as well, clearing my throat. I tried to stay as calm as I could, not wanting to add to Jaspers nervousness. Hopefully, telling the family about... us wouldn't be as bad as we assumed.
"You ready?" He asked. I nodded my head yes. I opened my door, and hand in hand, we made our way downstairs.
Esme was arranging some flowers on the coffee table by my piano. I reminded myself to write a song for Jasper later, perhaps a waltz. She looked up at us when she heard us come down.
"Good morning boys." She smiled warmly, but her thoughts were confused. I wondered what it looked like to her, me and Jasper holding hands. He was looking at me lovingly.
Edward, what's going on? Esme thought. I gave her a dismissive nod, She would know soon enough. Carlisle was out the door, on his way to work.
"Carlisle, why don't you take the day off work, there is something we need to discuss." I heard Jasper propose. Carlisle shared the same confusion Esme had.
"Sure boys... shall we gather the family?" He put his coat down.
"Yes." I answered. If we told the whole family at once, this whole thing could be over quicker.
Alice danced down the stairs, making sure not to stare too long at the two of us. She sat down in a small chair in the corner of the living room. I would need to talk to her later. Things couldn't be awkward between us. I wouldn't let that happen.
"Emmet, Rose? The boys have something to tell us..." Carlisle called down the hall. They were there in an instant, sitting on the loveseat by Alice's recliner. Esme and Carlisle sat down on the couch, which left me and Jasper standing. We looked at each other.
Edward, you go first. I can't do this with Alice sitting right over there...
I nodded once and let go of Jaspers hand.
"I don't really know how to say this, but I suppose it needs to be said. Bella is no longer part of this family. We broke up with each other last night while I was in her bedroom. Our relationship had changed, and I realized I was in love with someone else."
The room was completely silent for a few seconds; the mood was quite unsettling for poor Jasper as he radiated calmness, spreading it over the room.
"Well, that's fine then, I suppose." Esme said, but her thoughts were different. She was scolding me in her mind, she would miss Bella.
"She tried to break it off with me first, Esme." I explained "we both shared similar feelings, but were still close, just a different kind of close."
Her thoughts had changed now that she understood. "Yes, but what does that have to do with Jasper?" She asked. This was the hard part.
"I was starting having doubts about our relationship when I realized that I had feelings towards Jasper. Jasper and I, well, were... together now."
I let the words I had just uttered sink in as I felt Jasper shake. Everybody was in complete shock. Rosalie had stopped fiddling with her scarf, Emmet looked at the two of us, wide eyed and Alice was in plastered to her chair, quietly humming. We both knew she saw this coming. I turned my head to Esme, who was by far the most surprised, and Carlisle, his pale, stone-like face calm and collected. I didn't want to read him, not yet. I avoided everyone's thoughts, wanting a chance to explain myself. Jasper clasped my hand once more.
"When Edward left it was hell, for all of us. I started feeling confused, and I felt things towards Edward I never had before. One day Alice had a vision of us and my secret started to unravel. When Edward came back, he was having second thoughts about Bella, and I knew I had to tell him, let him know anyway I can that I needed to be with him. He let me love him." He took a deep breath, taking in the emotions of the room.
Edward, whatever they think I love you no matter what. He thought silently to me.
"So... what does everyone have to say about this?" He asked after a few more moments of lingering silence.
Well, that's chapter five! It was by far the hardest to write, so I would appreciate some reviews! If you do, I will return the favor!
