Visions of Love
-APOV-
I know Jasper better than anyone else. The need to make peace with Bella for attacking her was very strong. So when I came back from a hunting trip to find him getting ready to leave I understood. After all Jasper will always comes back to me since he loves me. So I decided that the best thing to do was to see how it plays out on its own, so I let Jasper go. We talked on the phone quite a lot, at first, but things changed after the family meeting. But not only for Jasper but for me.
-Vision-
Bella was sitting on her bed crying and my heart broke just watching Bella's own heart breaking. I was so caught up in her pain that I didn't sense Jasper come though her window and take her into his arms. I could see there was something that I was missing but I didn't know what it was. And I was about to find out.
As I blinked my eyes the vision changed once again. When I opened my eyes I felt like I was being drawn in a different direction. To what looked like a red painted farm house.
I could actually feel my feet walking up the path to the front door and the nervous butterflies in my stomach of not knowing what's behind the door. When the door opened I was taken aback by his good looks. He had opened the door in just a pair of jean shorts. I even could feel his love pouring into me as this man took me into his arms and kissed me.
"Missed you so much Mary Alice Black."
"Missed you too, Jacob Black." I heard my own voice say.
-End of vision-
I snapped awake so fast from the vision so fast I almost gave myself whiplash. I had to be honest with myself and say I still could feel his lips on mine. Kissing Jacob was so different than kissing Jasper. There was softness in his kiss that's not there with Jasper. This vision makes me wonder if that is what I need most. But I honestly don't know what to think about what I saw. I guess me and Jasper were not meant to be. The way Bella stood up for Jasper during the family meeting might be an example of this as well.

I can't believe Bella turned my family against me. I thought they would always be on my side. I decided to go to Forks and talk to Bella. Surely Jasper wouldn't still be there anymore, since he only wanted to cause more trouble.
But it would take more than month for me to make the trip back home. Which is more than enough time to figure out what to tell Bella. When I got back to Forks I was running in the forest not really paying attention to where I was going. I showed down when I heard somewhere nearby there was a girl yelling, like she was extremely upset. Unknowingly, I went towards her, coming around the corner I came across a dark haired, dark eyed beauty. She stopped yelling when she saw me.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
"Fine, all but my ex-boyfriend is being an ass once again." she replied.
"I'm sorry, what's your name?" I couldn't help but ask, as I walked closer to her.
"Leah Clearwater, I don't even know why I'm telling you any of this, what's yours?
"Edward Cullen, and it's alright sounds like you need a kind ear."
"Maybe."
Leah looked deep into my eyes and I hoped she could see into my very soul. And as Leah walked closer to me, I heard her grasp and her heart speed up when she indeed saw into my soul. I swear I saw her eyes widen and I saw right into her soul as well. It was so full of hurt and pain, like she lived for ages and seen it all. All I know is this felt right, like I was really needed and I could feel a major pull between us. No matter how I tried I couldn't deny that fact. By the look in Leah's eyes she couldn't either. But there was also pure shock on her face along with some tears. I wrapped my arms around her.
"It's going to be alright Leah, I won't hurt you ever."
"I know Edward, that's because you can't hurt me, but there's a lot we need to talk about."
"I've got the time Leah, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." I tried to reassure her.
"I know that Edward, but you might not like me after we talk."
"Let me be the judge of that Leah." I smiled at her.
"My family lives in La Push, and for the longest time I was known as Sam Uley's girlfriend. You know the legends better than I do Edward, a bond with me will get you killed, it's called imprinting that's what happened here today, and I'm sorry Edward." Leah explained.
"Leah, I do understand. Am I to understand you know what I am because of Sam?" I asked.
"Yes, I do"
"Do you care that I'm a vampire, Leah?" I was almost to scared to ask but I had to know.
"No, I don't. I also know I know that you feed differently from other vampires."
"Good, shall we take things slow for now?" not wanting to push my luck to far.
"Sounds good to me as long as you are mine Edward."
"And you are mine Leah, may I?" I dared to ask.
"Yes, Edward." And then I kissed her.
This kiss was so pure that even if I could breathe it would have stopped my heart at the moment my lips touched Leah's. I knew we were going to face whatever comes our way head on and together if we are going to make this relationship work. From this moment on I have faith that Carlisle always spoke of and wanted me to have. Not just in my loved ones, but I have found faith in myself as well. I am forever grateful for my relationship with Bella since it taught me so many things about myself and about relationships. Being with Bella was great after all it is what lead me to Leah.

Here I lay on my bed trying to figure out what's going on in my head. The sadness that once took over my life when Edward left was beginning to lift when my new friend Jasper Whitlock came back into my life. Thus began the days of light and to my confusion.
As the days go on Jasper and I grow closer to each other which causes the darkness to go away. But something is growing inside of me that I never thought I would feel again and I never dreamed it would be this deep. I was feeling a deep love, a love for a new man. A cowboy from Texas named Jasper Whitlock.
