PART FOUR: Gaining Forgiveness

Obviously, Jasper and Bella are never going to be forgiven. I hope you know that. Edward promised Bella that if she fell in love with someone else, he would let her leave. He was not backing out of that promise now. When Edward awoke from his bizarre fainting, he apologized for going insane.

"Edward, don't apologize, we don't deserve it," Bella cried, while still no tears would wet her face.

"I'm so sorry brother. If there was something I could do… But I know there isn't. I can't help loving Bella any more than you can," Jasper said, taking Bella's hand. She smiled a sad smile, and then they looked at Edward.

"She's all yours, Jasper. I promised her I would let her love whoever she wanted to love, and I'm not a liar. Please take good care of her," Edward said as he walked out the door.

Bella ran to him and grabbed his arm. "Don't leave. We need you. Renesmee will miss you."

He gave her a hard look, and then turned away from her new face. "I'll stay. But only for Renesmee."

"I'm so sorry," they heard Jasper saying to Alice.

"I told you, I'm okay. It's okay. I knew about it before you knew you were going to do it, anyway," Alice shrugged.

"That doesn't make it right. I'm sorry, Alice."

"Don't be. Me and Edward were cheating too."

"WHAT?" Bella screamed, tackling Edward and pummeling his face with her fists. "YOU DID WHAT WITH HER?"

"Bells, stop!" Jacob said, running out of the house (sorry he wasn't in the story more, Bella had enough boys to worry about without the Jacob love thing!). "It wasn't his fault."

Alice ran over and pulled Bella off of Edward. "It was my fault. He didn't do anything wrong."

Bella gasped for breath a couple times, then said, "Doesn't matter. It's over with now."

"I love you Bella," Jasper said, pulling her off of the ground where she sat.

"I love you too, Jazz."
