A/N: Wow, it's been forever since I've updated. So sorry L but I'm back now. And guess what? You all are getting two chapters for the long wait! Aren't you happy? Anyway, I'm going to attempt to update on this story more often. Again, sorry for taking forever. Ooh, and there's a big Jasper/Miracle part.

Everyone stood still for a moment. Jasper never moved from his spot on the floor. Pain shot through him every time he made an attempt to get up. Alice was the first to break the silence.

"You need to leave."

The words were directed at Miracle. The black haired woman looked over at the short little girl. "Excuse me?" She asked. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Who the hell do you think you are?" Alice countered.

Emmett snickered quietly. "Catfight." He whispered to Rosalie who was sitting in his lap. She smacked him upside the head. The hollow noise echoed through the white living room. "Ow! What the hell Rosie?" Rosalie said nothing. Her eyes were fixed on Miracle.

Everyone's eyes were really.

Especially Jasper.

He couldn't tear his gaze away. It amazed him how the blue was completely gone from her eyes. Now they were just a cold silver.

"Jasper…" Miracle began to speak but couldn't find the words to articulate her emotions. She felt hurt, betrayed, relieved, annoyed, and happy. Jasper felt all of this naturally. He wanted to express how sorry he was but he couldn't.

"Miracle, I didn't- I mean, I wasn't-" Jasper sighed.

Miracle tilted her head to the side. "Why didn't you come back for me?" Jasper felt his heart break in a million pieces. "I wasn't going to got anywhere." Rage welled up in her. He looked away ashamed. "And you know something Whitlock? While you were off in that stupid, stupid war I was nothing but faithful to you. It never once occurred to me to cheat on you. Do you know why?"

Jasper hung his head. "I have a hunch." He whispered.

Before Miracle said anything else she crouched down beside him and demanded he look at her. "Because I loved you, you bastard. You were my fucking world back then. Now I see what I meant to you. All those times you said that you loved me, all the times you kissed me, held me… they were lies. You were playing me weren't you? WEREN'T YOU?"

"I wasn't." Jasper felt his own anger well up. It was increased by Miracle's. How got up off the ground and grabbed her roughly. Ignoring the low growl from Jacob and the pain that shot through him, Jasper took Miracle upstairs to his study where they could have relative privacy.

Miracle bit her bottom lip trying not to cry. All of her emotions where heightened beyond belief. "Damn it Jasper! I needed you! You have no idea what it was like in there alone. Bonnie, my little girl, my baby, I watched her turn to nothing."

"Miracle I know. Trust me, I believe you." He sat down on the black leather sofa. "I feel like a total bastard for it-"

"You should!" She sniffled quietly. "Look," She sat down beside him and placed a hand on his knee. He grimaced once more at the electricity. "Tell me one thing. One thing and I'll leave you alone with that… that fairy bitch downstairs. Did you ever love me at all?"

Jasper laughed hysterically. He couldn't help it. The question was just too absurd not to laugh at. "Miracle, you will never know how much I loved you. How much I still love you. There's just a complication now. Alice, I love her too. I can't leave her."

In the living room all of the vampires heard what was happening with the two lovebirds. Jacob was giving Bella the play-by-play much to Edward's annoyance.

"Have you now respect for a person's privacy, Black?" Edward blurted out.

Jacob snorted. "Show me a person and I'll respect their privacy. I think I've finally figured out why I never like vampires. The short one over there and the blonde Major Pain."

"Yes?"

He grinned rather wolfishly. "You're all lying idiots. I've only spent hours with Miracle and know that I would never abandon her for anything. I wouldn't say I love her, knock her up, turn her into whatever the hell she is, then leave her alone for over a hundred years."

Alice looked over at the wolf. "What have I done?"

Jacob shrugged. "You're a default I guess. Jasper's hurting her. If it wasn't for you he wouldn't be. Default."

Alice crossed her arms. Was this dog being serious? She wasn't doing shit to anyone. Jasper was making his own choices. "Like you would never hurt her. I think she's being too sensitive."

"Why would I?" Jacob began shaking. "When you find someone you truly love why would you hurt them?"

Carlisle put a hand on the young man's shoulder. "Jacob, calm down. There is no use in starting another fight." He pointed upstairs. Supernatural hearing was no longer need. Jasper and Miracle were having a full out screaming match.

"I hate you Jasper Whitlock! I fucking hate you!"

"Join the club! You think I don't feel miserable for leaving you?"

"Then why did you leave?"

"I had no choice! Maria-"

"Oh, yes. Blame anyone other than yourself, just like always Jasper! You never took responsibility as a human so why would things ever change? You barely even claimed Bonnie!"

"Don't bring her into this Dunkin. I loved her, she was my fucking child! Too bad she had a horrible mother like you. And guess what? I never gave a fuck about you! I was a human! I just wanted sex!"

SMACK!

There was the unmistakable sound of a man being slapped. Bella looked at Edward, brown eyes wide. What had she done? She just wanted to make Jasper a little happier. It didn't seem like that was what was happening now. If anything, both supernatural beings were now miserable as hell.

Miracle rushed downstairs. Tears were brimming in her eyes. Jacob was by her side immediately trying to comfort her. She let him pull her into his arms. The feeling of her cool body against his was amazing. He tried to imagine things not working out between them. It wasn't happening. With what he had heard upstairs there was no way on earth Miracle was ready to go to Jasper. Willingly at least. Until that day Jacob was going to be there for her in all possible ways (he was rooting for a romance. At least a little one for a little while). If the day came that she did want Jasper back… well, if that made her happy he would just have to agree.

But until then…

Jacob had been so wrapped in his thoughts that he almost missed Miracle asking to leave. He nodded and turned to Bella. "You wanna come?"

"Where?"

"Seattle I guess. The hotels there are pretty good. We can find one sort of out of the way maybe."

Bella raised and eyebrow.

"Well she could stay at my house." There was a trace of mischief in his voice.

"Yeah right! Miracle, you can stay with me." Bella laughed as she locked arms with the other girl.

Miracle appraised Bella. "It has been quite some time since I have had a female companion. Whether a true one or one trying to get close to my brother." She smiled. "Do you like pink?"

"It isn't my favorite color ever."

"Then we shall be fast friends Bella. I have never truly thanked you for releasing me. Thank you, even though your plan to bring Jasper and I back together did not work out the way you hoped."

Bella blushed. "Uh, your welcome. Come on, we should go. Once we get tom my house I'll get you some clothes and a shower. We'll probably need to go shopping tomorrow some time."

Alice's ears perked up at the word shopping. As desperately as she wanted to she knew it wouldn't be smart to go. Maybe if Miracle had some time to cool off then Alice would consider going, but now… yeah, not happening. One day though, the two girls might actually get along. Then Alice would take Miracle on a million shopping sprees. She watched as Bella, Jacob, and Miracle left. A thought occurred to Alice.

Did Miracle know what a shower was?

"Bella and Jacob explained things to Miracle on the way back." Edward replied to her thought. "She took it surprisingly well."

"Oh." Was all Alice said.

Upstairs, Jasper watched Jacob's car speed away. He could clearly make out Miracle in the backseat. Unshed tears sparkled in her eyes. Tears that he had caused. He swore he saw her look right at him for a split second before turning around to say something to Bella.

"Promise me I will not have to see Jasper Whitlock again."

"You won't have to speak to him, but I can't promise that. I'm at the Cullens' house all the time."

"Then I will just have to stay away won't I?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

The worst part of that conversation? Jasper wasn't sure if he ever wanted to see Miracle again either. The spot where she had touched him began to tingle, missing the warmth of her hand. He knew he would end up missing her too much. He always did. This time, though, he would actually go get her.
