A/N: Ok, the majority of you wanted all the chapters today, so here's how they'll post. I'm posting six fairly quickly now, and then the final six later this afternoon when I get home from running errands and doing RL stuff. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the story...
JPOV
It's your party tonight.
I still came because I promised I would.
Because I knew it was important to you.
You keep looking at me.
There's so much I want to say to you.
That I understand your reaction.
That I'm not angry or hurt anymore.
That I'm ready for us to get back to being us again…because I've missed you terribly.
After a while you walk over to me, asking me if we can speak in private.
I agree and follow you into the bathroom, noticing that you lock the door once I'm inside.
"Emmett," I start to say, but you cut me off.
"I love you Jasper," you tell me, but your eyes say so much more.
They show me that you love me like I love you, but they also show how your heart isn't totally free.
"But…" I ask, knowing there is more to say.
"I still love Bella too. I made a promise to her, a promise I intend to keep. But I can't give you up either."
Maybe it means I'm weak, or maybe it means I'm selfish, but I can't bring myself to care about Bella in this moment, or what it means that you won't give all of yourself to me because you're marrying her tomorrow.
"I love you too Em…and I'll take you any way that I can have you. We can be discreet. Bella doesn't have to know."
You search my eyes for any sense of hesitancy, but I'm sure.
The chance to even have a part of you is more than I thought I'd ever get to have and I'm not about to throw it away.
We manage to sneak out of your party and go to my place where we spend the rest of the night together, reconnecting…our bodies and our hearts.
