A/N: A little bonus since it's short again. There's gonna be a few of these at least. They do get less frequent though.

Chapter Ten: Invasion

LPOV

I had been harsh perhaps. I could tell he tried hard to be different than that. He didn't want to restrain himself. Not in all the ways.

It was unconsciously done.

I didn't know. I had few answers left to give myself.

I could not read everything about him or all the thoughts that went through his head as he looked up at the stars, or as I told him that he imprisoned himself. I couldn't tell if he was angry or not.

I should have stayed!

It was what I wanted to do.

I wanted to be around for him to talk to because he had to speak to someone sometime! He had to tell me about Rosalie, MaRai, his foster parents, his biological parents.

No one could hide away forever.

Why did he have to lock himself in a spiritual dungeon? Why didn't he free himself?

They were questions heavy on my mind as I slowly headed home. My eyes were on the road to prevent an accident. I had too much on my mind to truly concentrate on the other cars or anything else though.

Jasper had invaded my mind and taken over every part of it. Where was I when this happen? Why did I not know until now?

The answerless questions had me close to tears by the time I got home. I tossed my books aside on the chair in my room, plugged in my phone without a word, and curled into bed, aching with my own frustration.

I could do nothing.

I could not and would not abandon Jasper.

I couldn't push him from my mind.

I couldn't accept that he was there.

How could I run away from the person I wanted to run to?

I sighed, closing my eyes.

He was inhuman to me. Why?

Hope you enjoyed it!
