Memories- Panic! At The Disco

Previously…

"Why? Jealous that I'm replacing you?" I teased, bumping my shoulder against hers.

"Like you were with Jasper and Irina." Rose shot back.

I rolled my eyes and ignored her comment.

"Speaking of which, how are things since the bitch twins left?" She continued, smiling mischievously.

"What things?"

"Don't play ignorant with me Bella." She said, narrowing her eyes. "I'm a woman too so I know how those games go."

I swallowed the venom in my mouth and glanced back towards the house warily, fearing someone was listening in on this conversation. This was a conversation I would rather keep quiet.

"Fine." She acquiesced. "But don't think you've escaped this conversation. We're going to talk about this eventually."

Truthfully, at moments I could almost feel this connection with Jasper…and it scared me. It was almost as if I could hardly bear to leave him alone. It's completely involuntary when I find myself feeling this way. Thank goodness that so far I have been able to hide this confusing thought from him. The last thing I need to do is scare away one of the only people who have stood by me through everything.

Besides, it's probably just his venom coursing through my veins. This explains why I feel so close to Jasper ever since I became a vampire, he changed me. Part of himself is flowing through me and keeping me alive.

"Penny for your thoughts?"

I froze as the speaker sat down on the front steps a few feet away from me.

"Hi Edward."

BELLA POV

I remained motionless as he came and stood by me.

I was expecting for it to be difficult to be around Edward. And it was, but not in the ways I anticipated.

I expected to feel that gaping hole in my chest that appeared when he left me in the woods. I imagined I would feel a longing for the love I felt when we were together. I mean, standing next to him now I feel sadness, but there's no regret.

There's no all-consuming feeling of devotion that only a few months ago I was filled with for Edward. And this fact relieved me. I was completely done with my feelings of love for the vampire next to me.

"What do you want Edward?"

"To go back to that night and make sure it never happened."

I swallowed thickly, knowing immediately that he meant the night with Alice; the night he broke all the promises he made me.

"That would make everything easier." I acquiesced quietly, keeping my orange eyes on the trees in the distance straight ahead.

We stood in uncomfortable silence a few minutes. I was adamant not to break it.

"But." The vampire next to me began. "I know that whatever I say won't change your mind, will it?"

Feeling his eyes on me I turned to face him.

"It won't." I replied, an icy edge creeping into my voice.

He sighed, the noise filled with regret, and nodded acceptingly.

"I…" He paused hesitatingly. "I hope that in time you'll forgive me? You know, for everything with Alice and then acting like a complete-"

"Asshole?" I supplied helpfully, if not a little indignantly.

He pursed his lips at my foul mouth but shrewdly refrained from commenting on it.

That would have opened another new can of worms, which would have ended in him being thrown on his ass via my shield.

"I'm not saying that it will happen overnight, but in time I would like to be able to start over. I forgive you, but it's impossible for me to imagine trusting you or being completely comfortable around you right now."

"But in the future…" He trailed off.

"Edward I'm not looking to make any promises to you." I warned severely, noticing the hopeful gleam in his eyes. "Our romantic relationship is finished. Over. Done with. I'm merely saying that maybe after time I will be able to stand in the same room with you without feeling sad, pissed off, or a combination of the two."

"I'm just content with the fact that you haven't completely shut me out of your life." He replied earnestly.

"That's only because this is my family too. If it wasn't for our family would have probably high-tailed it to Phoenix." I commented honestly.

I could tell he didn't take my last words well, yet we remained outside until the sun disappeared from the sky, and the full moon was out.

JASPER POV

Something was up.

Alice had been avoiding me. Normally I would be fucking relieved that she was keeping her distance, however I can't help but feel suspicious.

In the few times I did see Alice her emotions would switch from pride to nervousness and a whole plethora of other emotions that only made the small vampire seem more deceitful.

I shut the book I had been trying to concentrate on with a sigh and glanced out the window.

The sun was setting so I had been in here for a couple of hours. I'm surprised that no one came in and interrupted me. They know I'm in my room and not to come in here though; something that every member of the coven learned pretty quickly when I first joined them.

Except Bella. She was the sole person that was able to come in; the only person I actually wanted in here with me.

Even Alice seldom came in here while we were married. We spent all of our time in our, really just her, room. It was nice to be in my own element for a change. Alice attempted to control every part of our relationship; from what to wear to where to hunt. Everything was so fucked up that I was even dressing to please her; khaki's and polo's instead of jeans and t-shirts. Fucking nightmare.

"Esme, has anyone seen Alice?" I asked the older vampire as I entered the living room.

She looked up from the interior design magazine in her hands.

"She just got back and is off shopping with Rose now."

"She wasn't around here for a couple of days...where'd she disappear to?"

"Shopping in Italy I think. It was Carlisle and I's suggestion that she get out of the house for awhile." Esme said, a knowing smile overcoming her face when she noticed my grateful expression.

"Smart move." I commented, before quickly adding. "But don't tell anyone I was looking for her."

Wouldn't want dear Alice realizing that I was catching onto whatever she was planning.

Esme reluctantly agreed before going to check on Carlisle, who was in his office.

Just as she left the room Bella came inside the front door.

I felt a grin overcome my face until I saw who followed her inside. Edward.

Was he still bothering her? Could he not take the hint? She did not want to talk to him.

I opened my mouth to speak this notion, when I realized the Bella did not look angry or aggravated at all. Instead, she seemed…fine. Not at all bothered that her ex was following her around like a freaking stalker.

"Jasper, whatcha doing?" The brunette questioned, coming off more distant than usual.

"Oh nothing. Just catching up on some reading. You two seemed to be getting along." I retorted as I nodded towards her and Edward, unable to completely hide the jealous tone to my voice.

Bella gave me a bewildered look and, after realizing that I wasn't going to explain myself, continued upstairs.

Shit.

Nice going Jasper; way to isolate one of the people you care most about.

I ran a hand through my blonde hair and groaned, completely put out by how the night was going.

I saw Edward watching me out of the corner of my eye, reading my mind most likely, and turned to shoot him a venomous glare that caused him to quickly turn and go upstairs. Bastard.

Not able to stand another second trapped in this house I slipped outside and onto my black Ducati motorcycle and sped off down the driveway, just barely managing to keep myself from looking back at Bella's window.

What the hell was wrong with me? That woman brought out sides of me that I had never experienced before. For once I was finding myself thinking of someone else before myself. And the worst part was that she was completely and utterly unaware of the turmoil her very existence was causing.

Even when I wasn't with her, she was present in my thoughts and actions. I was probably just as in control of my bloodlust as Edward was because now whenever I found myself fantasizing about ripping into some bypassing humans' throat her face popped up in my head. Her pure emotions, long brown hair, expressive eyes, lithe body, petite hands; goddamnit, just stop Jasper.

I pulled off onto the side of the road and, figuring Bella's shield was still over me, slipped out my phone and dialed.

She answered after the third ring.

"Hello? Jasper?"

"Where are you?"

"I don't see what makes you think you can call and just demand-"

"Rosalie!" I interrupted impatiently with a growl. "Just answer the question."

I heard her sigh on the other end before replying. "I'm in Italy with Emmett."

I felt a vicious fury overcome my being. I squeezed my eyes shut, shuddering with suppressed rage. I was right.

"Where's Alice?" I asked calmly, a storm brewing under the facade.

"Oh. Well she ditched me yesterday in Venice so I got Emmett to meet me up here. No need to waste a trip." She explained, clearly sensing my overwhelming anger.

I hung up without another word.

She could bitch me out later, but now I had a vampire army to train and three weeks to do it.

Alice better not hold her breathe because is she expected to live after threatening my life and Bella's she had another thing coming.

I walked back to my bike at a human pace and turned, speeding in the direction of the house; gray dust spitting into the air behind me.

A/N: Aww I just LOVE writing Jasper POV…I just hope it came out okay! Let me know if you guys think there should be more jasper POV in the future or if I should just stick to writing Bella POV. I'm never positive if I can write something from a guy's pov so I appreciate yall's input!

NEXT CHAPTER:
