Chapter 16: Second Chances?

BPOV

Pulling up to Charlie's house I noticed two things, 1. Charlie was at work because his cruiser was gone and 2. Jasper really was coming over every day to see if I had come back. I don't know what I thought about that but I guess I would have to figure out soon because I am sure he will be around again today. I looked at my clock and it read five, Charlie would be home from work soon. "Jane help me take this stuff in and then we will go for a quick hunt." I said with a smile, Jane wasn't taking the whole having to eat animal blood too bad but I could tell she wasn't all to happy with it. She must really miss me, I though.

"Okay Bells." She said getting out and grabbing some stuff from the trunk. It only took us ten minutes to get everything out of my car and moved back up to my room, plus unpack it and put it where it went. I cleared a section of my closet out for Jane to put her clothes in when we got back from shopping to buy her some.

Hunting with Jane was interesting, the look she had when she bit into her first deer was so hilarious I ended up rolling around on the forest floor laughing my so hard. "Ha ha very funny Bella." Jane said, she didn't find it as funny as I had. An hour later when we both had our fill we headed back to the house. What we saw there made my heart skip (or it would have if it was till beating). There standing on my front porch was Jasper Whitlock.

"Bella, what do you want to do?" Jane asked. I was frozen on the spot just looking at him. He looked so miserable, like he had no reason to live. He looked how I felt on the inside. He looked like what I was really feeling, everyone thought that I was better but in truth I was just like that but a better actor now that I was vampire.

"Bella?" Jane asked again. This time I snapped out of it and looked at her. I don't know what she saw when she looked at me but I could see the pity in her eyes. My emotions must have been showing their true self. "Oh Bella your really not as good as you look are you?"

"No Jane, I miss him. But I am so scared he will hurt me again. I don't think I would survive another loss like that." I said looking back at Jasper. "I want to try and give him another chance but I don't know if I can."

"Bella, I wont say that I know what you mean because I have never found love but I know that if I had the chance at it I would not let fear hold me back. If you think Jasper is your soul mate then you should give him a chance. There may be many heartbreaks in love but when you find that right one you will know that he will be worth all the hurt in the world." Jane said. "I know that Jasper hurt you but Aro told me what he saw when he touched Jasper, he loves you very dearly and he is so sorry for what he did. He beats himself up everyday hoping you will give him a second chance but knowing that he doesn't deserve it. He knows he hurt you, he knows he is worse then Edward, and he knows that he would do anything for you."

I looked at Jane then back at Jasper, "Okay Jane, I think its time I give him another chance, I have suffered for five years without him. I don't think I can last any longer."

"Okay Bells." Jane said smiling. "Hey um Bells, do you think that you could maybe make sure Jasper doesn't attack me when we go up there. He isn't going to be very happy with me right now."

"What did you do?" I said with a sigh.

"Well when I heard what he did to you I may have sort of used my um powers to um make him sort of suffer with Edward." She said giving me a cheesy grin.

I laughed, my second real laugh in a long time. "Yea I will try. Now lets go in I want to wash after hunting."

"Ha ha, you don't have a drop on you unlike me." I looked at Jane again and laughed. She got into a fight with a bear and it through her around a bit with her small size before she was able to break his neck so she was covered in dirt and had twigs in her hair.

Looking once more at Jasper I worked up what little courage I had and walked up to him. When he sensed me he turned and snapped his eyes to me. "Hello Jasper," I said locking my emotions down and keeping my voice neutral.

"Hello again Jasper." Jane said before me. Jasper's eyes snapped to her and a growl came from his chest.

"Hey now, that's no way to treat my guest." I said crossing my arms over my chest and stepping slightly in front of Jane although I don't know why, she could fight him with out my help. I guess I was just trying to protect him more then her, plus I didn't want to see a fight in my front yard today.

"What are you doing her Jane?" Jasper asked.

What the heck is going on why is Jasper asking my guest stuff like that, I was getting ticked off. "Jane is here as my house guest. She is more welcome here then you are at the moment. Especially if you going to act like that." I said, a little aggravation showing in my voice.

"I'm sorry," Jasper said taking a step back. "Bella can we talk a moment? Alone?"

I looked at Jane and she headed up the steps to the door then took one last look at Jasper and said, "You hurt her and then pain you felt earlier will be nothing like what you will fill Mr. Whitlock." Then she turned and walked into the house with out waiting on a response.

"Some friend you have there Bella." Jasper said looking back at me.

"Look if you are hear to talk about my friends you can go ahead and leave now." I said.

"No wait that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. I wanted to apologize to you for what I did to you I should have trusted you Bella. I knew you better then that but still when I saw those picture of you all rational thought just left. I know what I did was stupid and unforgivable but I am hoping that with your kind and loving heart you will be able to try and give me a second chance. " Jasper said and I could tell how sincerer his voice was.

"Jasper I am not going to lie to you, what you did to me broke me. What you did to me damn near killed me. I don't know if I will ever be able to fully trust you like that again. I am going to try but you are going to have to work damn hard to help me trust you again. What you did was worse then what Edward did to me, and I know you have heard that already but now you need to understand why. Yes when Edward left I broke but with you I died. You know why that is, its because you Jasper are my best friend, you didn't tell me you didn't love me any more, you accused me of cheating, then wouldn't listen to me, then said you didn't want to see me ever again. I knew that Edward left for my protection, I knew he left because he wasn't really meant for me. But with you I know you're my soul mate, no one else has ever fit with me the way you do. I knew that when you left you were mad at me and that hurt much worse. Jasper I tried to explain but you would listen to me. Writing that goodbye letter was the hardest thing I ever had to do." I said.

"Look Bella, I can say I am sorry but that does not even cover it. I wish that I could take back the last two years and listen to you. No I wish that I could go back to the day I made that phone call and taken it back, I knew you would never cheat on me, I felt your love for me but something in me just wouldn't comprehend that. I had the photo evidence and that for some reason seemed more important. I wish I could change everything but we both know its not possible, all we can do is try to figure out a way to put it in the past and try to more forward. Please give me a chance to prove to you that I love you and that I will never do anything like that to you again." Jasper pleaded at the end.

"Okay Jasper I will try to move forward but you must understand that what you did is going to be hard to forgive but I will try. You just have to bear with me and understand that I am trying." I paused and looked at him. "Plus your going to have to learn to accept my friends."

"Hey she hurt me first." He said laughing. The mood was lighter and my heard was slowly healing.

"Hey she was just doing to you what I really wanted to do." I said with a smirk. "She really is a good person once you get to know her Jasper, you just have to give her a chance. She has a great power and that's all she is known for, but like all you she isn't as bad as her reputation Major God of War."

Jasper actually looked embarrassed at the last part of my sentence. I had learned about his reputation when I was in Italy. His name strikes fear in many vampires who know about the wars in the south. "Yea well I guess I can see what you mean." He said not looking at me.

"Jasper I am going to go in the house and take a shower. If you want me and Jane will come by later. Please don't tell any one else that Jane will be staying with me when you get home I want to pull a little prank on the rest of the Cullens." I said feeling mischievous.

"Okay Bells. See you later." Jasper said giving me a hug, I really wish he would have kissed me but maybe that was moving to fast for him again. "I will pretend you aren't even back."

"Excellent." I said smiling. "I will be around later. Not sure exactly when though."

"Okay Bells." He turned to walk away but stopped and pulled me into a kiss. It felt wonderful to be in his arms and have his lips back on mine, I never wanted the kiss to end. Pulling away from him I felt so much more light hearted and hoped that I wasn't making a big mistake with my poor fragile dead heart. Watching him walk away I had to remember that it wasn't goodbye it was just a see you later.

Now to show and to talk to Jane about my prank.
