"Hello Bella."
"Jasper! Wh…what are you doing here?"
" I came to talk to you." he smiled sheepishly.
"I…um…uh…ok. Come on in." I stepped aside and let him in. We walked into the living room and I sat on the couch while Jasper sat on the chair opposite of me. We sat in silence for a few minutes.
Of course he hadn't changed a bit. He was still the same Jasper, his long blonde hair was flipped to the left side of his face.
"Bella, would you please try to relax?" Jasper asked. "You're nervousness is very overwhelming."
"Sorry Jazz. I..I just don't know what to say."
"Bella, just me Jazz."
I laughed, "I know, it's just I didn't think I'd ever see any of you again and first Alice shows up and now you. It's kind of … um… mind-boggling and nerve- racking."
"You know, I am sorry," he said. "about your birthday, I mean."
I was shocked. "It's been months Jasper. You don't need to apologize for anything. You know nothing happened."
"I know nothing happened but it's still my fault we're all apart -" I cut him off.
"It's nobody's fault Jasper. As I remember correctly I was the one who gave myself a paper cut. I am a human and You are a vampire something like that is to be expected. I don't blame you in the least, you have to know that?" Jasper looked at the ground. "I don't want you blaming yourself for something that was an accident."
"I know you want me to believe that it's not my fault but what happened changed all of our lives. We're not a family anymore. Alice and I stayed with Carlisle and Esme, Emmett and Rosalie are off in Mexico, Edward is somewhere in Europe and your living here."
"And I am very happy. I love it here."
"It is not the same. We are a family and should be together. So your really doing good here Bella?"
"Yes I'm doing good Jazz. I'm very happy here. I love this city and my job. I have amazing friends and an amazing apartment."
"That's good Bells. So…uh…the gentleman you were with?""Wha…what?" I could feel my face turn a bright shade of red
"They guy you were kissing in the doorway."
"Oh…ah…how…how'd you know about that?"
"I had been waiting awhile for you."
"Oh yeah, well that was Danny, my boyfriend."
"You love him a lot." It was a statement not a question. "I could feel the love you have for him when you were with him."
"Yeah I do, a lot. He's amazing. We've been seeing each other for months now and I'm happy."
He looked at the picture on the coffee table. "Both of you look amazing. Where is this?""The Rainbow Room at the Rockefeller Center. That was eight months ago." He had a frown on his face. "What is it Jazz?"
"I am happy for you Bells, really I am. But …." he trailed off.
"But what?"
"It should be you and Edward."
"Jazz.."
"I know Bella, but if it weren't for me, this would be you and Edward."
"Jazz, it's not your fault. As I remember it was his choice to leave and I am happy here and with Danny."
"Bella, I know with every certainty that Edward truly loves you. He loves you more than he's ever loved anyone before."
"Jazz…." He cut me off.
"I can't even pretend to understand why he did what he did. I do not think he's thinking straight and it drove him to do something he wouldn't otherwise do. Because he does love you."
"Jazz, I know you mean well, I do but if you believe for one second that someone in love would have done what Edward did, your wrong. Besides Edward leaving didn't destroy me. I am happy and in love, I love being with Danny. I'm not sorry about what happened. I do not regret my time with Edward nor do I regret moving here. I truly love it here."
"Bella I love you." He got up and pulled me into a hug quicker then I could blink. There's that vampire speed again. I laughed and wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him back. "You are and always will be my baby sister and I am glad you are happy here even if it is with another guy."
"I love you Jazz and I have missed immensely."
"I better go."
"Ok Jazz."
"It was good to see you Bells. I have missed you. I truly am sor…"
I cut him off again. "Jasper Hale if you apologize one more time. I will find a way to kill you." We both laughed. He wrapped his arms around me again, embracing me into a tight hug.
"Jasper!... human…can't… breath!" I gasped. He pulled away immediately, muttering apologies.
"Don't be sorry. I missed your hugs."
"Um…Bella?"
"Yes?"
"Alice has probably already seen that you and I talked and she will want to talk to you next."
"I'm sorry Jazz, I..I know that it's unfair to Alice but I'm not ready for that."
"I understand. Goodnight Bella."
"Bye Jazz."
