A/N: As always, I dedicate all of my words to theladyingrey42. Big thanks to ahizelm for the beta-job. I'm thinking about posting the next chapter today as well, as I know you've been waiting for this. Leave Jasper some love, would you? The editor is making crazy changes so I apologize in advance if it's messed up.

The Setting: The Road between Freycinet and Bicheno, Tasmania

JPOV

I glance at his sleeping form while I drive, aching to touch him, to have him touch me.

When I thought he was straight, I could pretend I just appreciated the view. Found a new friend.

But he's not and I'm not. And he's more wonderful than anything I could have imagined.

Today was bliss and torture: wrestling, laughing, just being together sending chills through my body.

And my scars? My past? He looked at me like he was proud of me, not with pity.

Peter's my rock. But maybe I don't need anchoring anymore. I want sun and light and easy.

I want Edward.
