Everyone has been gone for about…. I looked at my watch…. two hours now. Edward promised they would be back in three hours, only one more hour left to go! I got a giddy feeling just thinking about Edward I loved him so. While everyone went hunting, I was all alone with Jasper and he had been avoiding me. I wondered where he was and what he was up to. Then I remembered some of the more awkward things that guys did when they were alone. The thought of Jasper upstairs touching himself grossed me out. I mean, no offense to men, they have to do what you they have to do I know that but it's just kinda icky.

On the other hand, it was somewhat sexy too; I started thinking about what Jasper could be imaging why masturbating. That thought made me almost start touching myself. I thought I heard a faint chuckle but it was gone before I had actual proof it was real. I shrugged it off and made my way back upstairs with my snack when I ran into a cold, hard, muscled chest. I gasped! The shock made me fall backwards, flailing my arms and dumping my popcorn in the process. I almost fell down the stairs when Jasper caught me. I gasped again and looked up into Jasper's golden eyes, they immediately turned black as soon as he lowered me to the ground and moved away. I scrambled to my feet taking careful, almost hesitant steps. Knowing I probably looked really stupid, I blushed and stared back at him as he watched me.

"I didn't realize you were there," I mumbled, the cheeks turning a deeper red.

"I figured as much," Jasper said back just loud enough for me to hear, probably trying hard not to breathe. His eyes if possible went an even deeper shade of black as the air conditioning suddenly turned on, spraying my scent like a sprinkler. Jasper tensed and reached out slowly towards me. I flinched out of his grasp and gave him an embarrassed look. He seemed frustrated as he grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him. I gasped out as the blood flow was cut off from my wrist as I went tumbling right back into Jasper's smooth chest. He growled slightly and held me to him. I tried to pull away but he just held me closer…and before I knew it, we were suddenly in the garage and he was pushing me into a car I had never seen before. He buckled me in and slammed the door. By the time my mind caught up with me, Jasper was in the driver's seat and we were speeding away from the house.

"What the…." I shouted at Jasper. What the hell was going on here?

"Don't panic Bella…we have to get you out of here," Jasper explained as he pulled smoothly into traffic leaving Forks behind.

"What the? What do you mean? Why?" I shouted again.

"Bella…. Edward has no idea what he's doing and I don't want to see you get hurt," Jasper shouted back at me, his voice a little more controlled then mine.

"No!" I shouted, "Whose we? No! Take me back!"

"I can't do that Bella; I just can't let Edward hurt you. He would try, keyword there, try to kill us."

"What about Alice?" I asked my eyes glued on the back of Jasper's head as I asked that. Could he really be willing to run away with me – well kidnap me – and hurt Alice?

"She doesn't understand what I am feeling, why I need to do this," Jasper, sighed, "she has complete faith in Edward…"

"And less faith in you," I finished with a sigh. Well here goes my last shot at getting Jasper to turn around, "Jasper you have to understand…she's supposed to feel that way…. I have more faith in Alice then I have in Edward, more faith in Emmett then Rosalie. I have to be careful about it because I know it would make Edward feel bad if he knew but I'm not about to runaway from him."

"Shut the fuck up!" he shouted. I shrunk back into my seat, tears welling up in my eyes. Honestly, he didn't have to be so cruel! No, wonder why Alice has more faith in Edward! I hadn't lied about the more faith part I hadn't lied about most of it. What made him think he could do any better then Edward.

"I'm sorry," he whispered as he heard me sniffle and as my emotions changed from desperate to hurt, upset and a little hostile. I nodded and went back to my thoughts; when it occurred to me that, he could have at least brought some clothes. I was still in my bathrobe. I had just gotten out of the shower and walked down stairs for some popcorn. I was on my way back upstairs to get dressed in my pajamas when this whole thing began. Jasper could have at least let me get dressed or brought some clothes.

As I stared out the car window, I started to wonder about what was happening at the Cullen house. Are they home now? Are they worried about where I am? Had Alice seen all of this? Or was it a last minute decision on Jasper's part that she wouldn't have seen? What was Edward doing? All these questions spun around in my small human head and I struggled to answer each one of them the way I wanted to hear it. I hugged my monk style bathrobe that Alice had bought for me closer to myself as Jasper and I sped away leaving the love of my life behind me.
