Broken

Chapter 14:

Help

Bella

I help Jasper carefully clean his nose. Jasper winced as I touch the tenderness of his face. This is my entire fault. I don't know what Edward was thinking, Jasper has always been my friend, nothing else and Edward knows that.

"I'm so sorry Jasper; I don't know what Edward was thinking." I whispered, and Jasper looked at me like he was in pain.

"Bella…don't worry about it. I'm a big boy; I can take care of myself." Jasper barely got out through his busted lip. The tears filled in my eyes as I saw Jasper struggle to even breathe.

"Jasper, we need to get you to a hospital….your nose is probably broken." I said with full concern, and Jasper shook his head chuckling.

"Bella just shut up. I'm fine. I've broken my nose before, and it was nothing like this. Trust me…it's just a bruise, and some blood…nothing more, nothing less." Jasper said with a light voice. I could tell he was trying to hide the pain in his voice, but I easily could tell it by the way he spoke.

"I'm so sorry Jasper. I know you're in pain, and it's my entire fault. The last thing I wanted was for anybody to get hurt." I whispered with hurt in my voice. Jasper winced as he pulled me into a small hug. I carefully hugged him back, and cried into his shoulder…I cried for Jasper, I cried for Anthony….I cried for myself.

"It's really okay Bella." Jasper whispered, and I pulled away wiping my tears. I sighed as I stood from the kitchen table I was sitting at. I quickly grabbed a dry washcloth, and some ice. I wrapped it up into an icepack, and gently pressed it against Jasper's nose. He winced at first, but finally sighed in pleasure.

"Hold that up to your nose for at least ten minutes, then go from ice to heat by getting a water bottle out of the fridge, and heating it up in the microwave until it's warm." I whispered as I pulled the hair out of his face. Jasper smiled small as he looked at me with dark eyes. I bit my lip.

"Jasper…you know how we can tell each other anything?" I whispered, and he looked at me confused.

"Yes." He whispered, and I took a deep breath.

"Jasper…I want to try something. I-I-I want to kiss you. "I stuttered, and he looked at me with wide eyes.

"What, why? Bella I don't like you like that, you know that." He shouted, and I nodded.

"I know you do…but I want to see if there is something there." I whispered, and he looked at me for a moment before nodding.

"Alright Bella. Just one kiss…and promise me something." He asked, and I nodded.

"Promise me that…if you do feel something, that we'll still be friends. I don't want something like this to come between us." He whispered in a sad voice, and I nodded. I swallowed the lump in my throat, and stared at his lips for second. I looked in his eyes and they gave me permission. Well, it's now or never.

I quickly pressed my lips to his. His lips were warm and soft but I felt….nothing. I was starting to get uncomfortable with the kiss. I felt like I was kissing my father, or Emmett. I pulled away, and Jasper just stared at me.

"I felt…nothing." I whispered with a smile. Jasper cracked a big smile.

"Good, because I didn't feel anything either. I felt like….I was kissing Rose." He admitted, and I laughed.

"Seriously, because I felt like I was kissing Emmett." I giggled, and he laughed with me.

"How is Emmett anyways?" Jasper asked, and I shrugged.

"I 'm not sure, I haven't talked to him in a while. His store's doing well though, I know that." I mumbled, and Jasper chuckled.

"That's good."

"Yeah…I should call him soon. I haven't talked to him in a while." I said with a smile. Jasper nodded.

"Well, I better get going." Jasper whispered standing up. I began to protest

"What, but you haven't even eaten yet." I complained, and he laughed.

"There's not much left of it anyways, Edward kind of….ruined it. Don't worry, I'll eat when I get home." he whispered pulling me in a hug. I hugged him back and sighed.

"Alright…I'll make it up to you, I promise." I whispered as I kissed his cheek, and pulled away.

"Don't worry about it Bells. I love you, goodnight." He whispered, and I smiled.

"Goodnight Jazzy, drive safe. Call me when you get home, but call Rose's home phone." I demanded, and he chuckle.

"Alright, I'll call. Bye." He whispered, and I bit my lip.

"Goodbye, talk to you later." I whispered as he walked past me, and left without another word. I sighed as I quickly made Anthony a sandwich for dinner. He gladly ate it as I walked into the bedroom, and plopped on the bed. I stared at the ceiling as I cried.

That was the first night I cried myself to sleep.

Edward

I gripped my hair tightly as I shouted through my teeth. Why did I have to beat up Jasper? It's my entire fault Bella hates me. She's right, I am a monster. I need therapy. Bad.

"Janet, I'm sorry but your services aren't needed anymore. Thanks though." I shouted. Janet just nodded, and led herself out. God, Bella thought I was fucking her! I shouldn't have just stuck with frozen pizza, Chinese food, and microwavable food.

I groaned as I grabbed the phonebook of the table in front of me. I flipped to the "T" section, and looked for what I wanted. I finally found it, Seattle Co. Therapy.

Yes, Edward Cullen is going to therapy.

I called the number, and a cheery voice answered.

"Seattle Co. Therapy this is Sarah how may I help you?" She asked cheerful, and I frowned.

"Hello, this is Edward Cullen…I'm calling to schedule an appointment." I said slowly in the phone.

"Oh of course, could you come by tomorrow morning to fill out some paperwork?" she asked nicely, and I sighed.

"Sure, no problem." I replied, and she giggled.

"Alright thank you for calling Edward. Have a wonderful night."

"Yeah, thanks…you too Sarah." I said before hanging up. God, I'm fucked up. Now I need to call Bella…even though I just beat the shit out of her best friend an hour ago.

I dialed Rose's house number, and to my surprise she answered.

"Hello?" she asked in a voice that sounded like she was crying. My heart stung.

"Bella, it's Edward…and before you hang up just hear me out." I begged, and I heard Bella breath heavy.

"Fine, but make it quick." She said in a harsh voice. I sighed.

"Bella, you don't know how incredibly sorry I am. I have no idea what came over me other there. I just snapped at the thought of you sleeping with him. I know you're not, but it still got angry. Bella I love you, and I want you back. I know I have problems, and I'm working on fixing them. I'm getting therapy in attempt to win you back. I don't know if it'll help much, or help at all for that matter but I'm hoping it will. Bella…let me make it up to you. Let me take you to dinner tomorrow night." I begged, and I heard Bella sigh into the phone.

"Edward I appreciate that, but I don't know if I can trust you." She admitted, and I let a tear slip.

"I understand Bella, but please let me take you to dinner. Just one dinner to prove myself to you, after that….you don't have to talk to me again. I'll give in and sign the papers if you want nothing to do with me after." I whispered.

"Alright Edward, but no funny business….and just one dinner." She agreed, and I did a fist pump. Fuck yes!

"Thank you Bella! You won't regret it, I promise." I said.

"I hope I won't." she whispered, and I smiled small.

"Bella…I love you." I admitted, and she sighed.

"Edward I…love you too." She whispered, and my heart soared. She still loved me.

"I'll see you tomorrow sweet girl. I'll pick you up at 7. Wear something nice." I told her, and she giggled.

"Okay."

"Goodnight baby. I love you." I whispered with a smile.

"Goodnight Edward. I love you too." She whispered before hanging up. I smiled big, and threw the phone off to the side.

I was going to get my wife back.

Review. I know it's short but a lot happened, kind of. ;p
