Chapter 5: Torn

"Bella…Bella wake up." "Is she alright?" "Bella wake up sweetie." I opened my eyes to see Alice and Esme staring at me. "Good she's finally up. Go get ready it's shopping day!" I groaned pulling the over sized pillow over my head. "Oh come on Bella we're wasting precious time. Bloomingdales opens in one hour. And the sooner we leave the sooner we'll get back with everyone here. I sighed. When she put it that way…. When you put it anyway it was still bad.

I ran up the stairs to take a shower and get dressed . While allowing the warm water to wash away all the tension and stress, I began to wonder what the consequences were for Jasper and Rose standing up for me. How would Edward react. I began thinking about the last time he left and quickly pushed it out my head. Edward would never leave me right?

Five long hours later Alice had to drag me into the house. There waiting for us were Jazz and Rose. Jasper stood and hugged me tightly. I immediately felt something was wrong. "Hey guys." I said timidly. Rose looked over at Jasper then smiled at me. "Where is everyone else?" "Bella I think you should have a seat." She said calmly. My breath immediately became hitched as I began to panic. The worse thoughts spiraling around in my head.

"No." I said feeling my legs give way. Jasper caught me and sat me next to him. I could feel the clam waves radiate through me. "What happened?" I whispered as Jazz stroked my hair. Rose paused for a moment watching us. "Well Edward is still alive." She said not hiding her distaste. "He's gone isn't he?" I whispered. "He-uh-wants to cancel the wedding." I took a deep breath and nodded. "I should of known." I said getting up I paused and looked back at them they're sadden eyes.

"Thank you guys for standing up me. Don't feel sorry for me… I guess it wasn't meant to be." I said in barely a whisper then ran up the stairs to Edwards room.

After all we had been through he was giving up on us. This was my birthday all over again. No it wasn't. Yes he left me once again but this time I have family in my corner. There was no way I was going to allow myself to fall into that empty state of mind again.

Interrupting my thoughts was a knock on the door. "Can I come in?" A smooth voice called. "Sure Jazz." I sighed wiping my tears away. He sat beside me and pulled my head to his chest. "Bella I'm so sorry for causing this. I wasn't thinking about the consequences of my actions." "Jasper." I whispered bringing my head up to look at him. His golden eyes melting before me. "Not you too?" I said to myself looking away. "Huh?" He asked. My cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Nothing." I said quickly. "Look jazz don't blame your self for making Edward leave. He made that decision. He's the coward for walking away once more not you." He seemed taken back for a moment. "I'm through with getting hurt. I can't do this anymore Jazz." I cried. Jasper pulled me into his chest running his fingers through my hair. "Regardless of what may happen Bella you'll always have us. We are a family. An furthermore I'll always be here for you." He whispered. I looked up at him.

"Do you think I'd be wrong if I leave him?" "Bella you have to do whats best for you. You need to stop worrying about other peoples feelings and worry about you. You come first." Jasper was right. My mother always said If you didn't care about yourself, then how could someone care for you. I threw my arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. "Thank you." I whispered. He did it again. I watched as his eyes melted before me...dazzling me. "Anytime darlin'." He replied holding the gaze.

"Bel-laaa!" Emmett yelled at the doorway. I guess the rest of the Cullen's were back. I smiled and looked at Emmett who charged towards me and scooped me into one of his famous bear hugs. "I should go. Bella are you gonna be alright?" "Yea." I replied. He nodded and disappeared. After begging Emmett to put me down and sat back on the bed I asked "Emmett what happened last night?" I asked knowing he'll give me all the details. "Bells you missed it! It all started.....

JPOV:

I sped to my room and sat in my favorite chair. I could feel her pain. Yes Edward was gone but it was my fault. It was none of my business medaling in Bella and Edward's relationship, but I couldn't allow him to hurt her anymore.

Bella deserved more than that. A man who cared for her and follow her to the ends of the earth just to be with her. Not one that would run away anytime there was a bump in the road.

Bella shocked me tonight. I still couldn't believe she called him a coward. Although thats exactly what he was. "Mind if I join you for a moment." My ex wife asked. I was so consumed in my thoughts I didn't even sense her. She sat on the bed facing me. "How's Bella holding up?" She asked I could sense the hesitation. "She's fine actually." I replied looking at her now and smiling. "She called Edward a coward." I said chuckling. Alice sighed.

"She's trying to be so strong. She doesn't deserve this. Bella's to good for Edward. He can't keep hurting her like this. I think she knew he was going to leave." She said peering into my eyes. "Why do you say that?" I asked. "She was moping around the mall behind me. Not even paying attention." I had to laugh. " Alice in case you haven't noticed, Bella hates shopping hence the moping." We both had to laugh.

"Your in love with her." She said softly. "Alice-" I began but she stooped me. "It's alright Jazz. It all makes sense now. Why I never saw an eternity with you. You belong with Bella." "Alice how can that be possible if she's so in love with Edward?" I asked. The little pixie smiled brightly.

"Silly Jasper. Yes she will always love Edward just like I'll always love you. But she'll love you more for the simple fact that your her soul mate." I didn't say anything for a while. "And what about you?" I asked.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." I gave her a skeptical look. "No way!" I exclaimed. She simply smiled and sped out the room. Leaving me stunned.

Bella's POV:

It felt as if all the memories of this room filled the room to the point that it was as if the walls were closing in on me. Making it hard to breath. I couldn't take it anymore. I sat in the bed pulling my knees up to my face and wrapping my arms around them as the memories played one by one.

Once again I was alone. Yes I was in a house filled with loved ones. But no one loved me...you know what I mean. That's where your wrong. A voice called. I quickly surveyed the room but no one was there. There is someone that loves you unconditionally. Someone who would love you regardless of what life may bring.

"Who?" I whispered. The image of Jaspers face crossed my mind. "No." I said. "That can't be." Jasper loved Alice. Stupid! They're not together anymore. Just look at it. Right before all this happens Jasper and Alice gets a divorce. Come on Bella. You saw the way he looked at you tonight. All the love... He loves you. "But-" But nothing. "I just broke up with Edward. Jasper just broke up with Alice." So what love waits for no one. The voice faded causing me to jump up. It was just a dream.

I got up and walked into the bathroom and washed my face. I stopped watching the ring Edward gave me glisten under the light. I sighed watching it. "It's time to let go Bells." I whispered. I slid off the ring and walked down the stairs into the living room. There sitting by the window was my best friend.

"Hey Bella what are you doing up so late?" Alice asked as I joined her. "I couldn't sleep. "Bad dream?" She asked peering from the corner of her eye. "Not really...just confusing. "Do you want to talk about it?" Should I? "Can I ask you something and I want you to be completely honest about it. "Shoot" She said facing me. "Why did you and Jasper break up?"

She smiled. "Because I saw him with someone else." "Who?" I asked. "Are you that blind Bella?" I was silent. So it was true. "But I just broke up with Edward. And you and Jazz-" "So what Bella what difference dose it make. He loves you." She smiled smugly. "And you love him." "Why are you telling me all this." "Because Bella, sometimes in life some people just needs a little push. Jazz went out hunting he'll be back in the morning. That should give you enough time to sort your feelings out." She said standing up. "And don't worry about me. You can pay me back by making me your maid of honor and no complaints when ever I want to take you shopping."

"You and your brother are too much alike." I murmured shaking my head. "More than you know." she said in barely a whisper. Leaving me to wonder if I just heard right.
