Chapter 3

Bella POV

I woke suddenly from a nightmare much worse than the usual ones. I had walked in on Edward and Alice...Having private time. I was horrified!

I began to feel more comfortable as I felt the familiar cool arms around me. I snuggled into his chest but was startled by the scent.

"Edward?" I asked confused. I looked up to find my head in Jaspers lap. He looked at me wearily as if I was about to crack. Then realization hit me. It wasn't a dream. It had been real. I had lost Edward to Alice. Jasper had lost Alice to Edward.

I hugged Jasper tightly and started to cry. To my surprise he hugged me back.

"Bella?" He whispered just enough for a human to hear.

"J-Jasper?" I asked through sobs.

"I will always be here for you. I promise." It was surprising that he was the one saying this because he was the Cullen I talked the least to. But I felt the truth in his words.

"And I will be here for you whenever you need me. I can't be the only one hurting." I knew how he must feel about this whole thing with alice.

"Thank you Bella. Charlie called, we told him you would be home in an hour and that was," he checked his watch "Half an hour ago. Would you like me to drive you home?" He asked. Would he be okay with that? He must have felt my confusion because he said.

"I have something to tell you about that anyway." I wondered what it was.

"Okay." I sort of wanted to leave anyway. There were to many memories of Edward here.

"Lets go then." He said as he picked me up and flew out to my truck.

Jasper set me down in the passenger seat, but my seatbelt on and got into the drivers seat before I even opened my eyes.

"We told Charlie about Edward and Alice. He isn't that angry but he shouldn't see me with you. He is happy you aren't with Edward anymore though." He said calmly.

"Okay. Thank you Jasper." I said with all my heart. It would mean that I wouldn't have to tell Charlie.

"Okay so about my thirst. Bella you know I'm an empath right?"

"Yes." I thought I knew where this was going.

"Well when I'm thirsty...and so is the rest of the family. Their thirst affects me too. Thats why I lost it on your birthday." He flinched at the memory. "Which I am more than sorry about!"

"Jasper I forgave you a long time ago for that. You don't have to apologize. If I hadn't cut my finger-" he cut me off.

"Bella do NOT blame yourself for what happened on your birthday!" He snapped.

"I'm sorry." I lied.

"Okay. Your home, and Charlie is waiting in the living room." I didn't want him to leave.

"Jasper?"

"Yes Bella?"

"Would you stay with me...like overnight?" I asked sheepishly.

"Is that what you want?"

"Yes, is it what you want?"

"I would love to." I could feel the truth practically dripping out of him which warmed my heart. "I'll wait upstairs." And he flew away.

I walked in through the door into the warm embrace of Charlie.

"You okay Bells?" He asked with concern.

"Yeh dad. I just need some time alone to think."

"Okay." He said and walked back to his chair.

I walked up the stairs slowly to my room. The tears starting again. I walked in to find Jasper holding his arms open for me. I ran to them and sobbed.

Once I got a hold of myself I realized I completely soaked his shirt.

"Sorry." I said biting my lip.

"It's okay." He said as he started to take his shirt off. Wait. TAKE HIS SHIRT OFF.

His marble chest was perfectly toned. But it had small crescent marks all over it. They made him so unique. I loved them.

"More battle scars." He said frowning.

"Whats wrong?" I asked worried.

"You aren't scared? Alice hated them and told me they were ugly."

"She what! No Jasper! No! If I ever see Alice again I swear-" I was cut of by him wrapping his cool arms around me.

"Bella you are so amazing." That shocked me.

"You ain't so bad yourself Whitlock." He laughed at my comment which was good to see.

I yawned loudly and he told me to go to sleep. I agreed and lay down next to him. Something was scaring me though.

I could very easily fall in love with the man beside me.
