Broken

-JPOV-

Early one morning, my life changed in a blink of an eye. When I got a phone call from my wife Alice. In that moment I really didn't know where to go from there, since Alice was so much part of my life for so long now.

"Hi, Jasper," a sad sounding Alice said.

"Hello, my dear." I answered.

"We need to talk Jasper." Alice said.

"Alright, Alice what is going on?" I asked not to worried yet.

"I want a divorce." Alice stated.

"WHAT! Why did you see something Alice?" I asked.

"It seems like we are not mates like I thought, I'm so sorry Jasper."

"IT TOOK YOU OVER 80 YEARS TO FIND THAT OUT MARY-ALICE!" I could feel my eyes blacken in anger.

"I'm sorry Jasper." Alice repeated.

"I don't believe you, goodbye Alice." Hanging up on her.

As I was pulling into the Cullen's drive I heard Jasper yelling. Even if I couldn't make out the words I knew it was bad if Jasper was yelling. So I quickly decided to let myself into the house, only to see Jasper crushing his cell in his hands.

"Jazz?" I asked.

I saw him look up and I have never seen the amount of pure sadness in anyone's eyes.

"Bella." Jasper whispered as he went down to his knees.

Almost without thinking I took him into my arms.

"Shh, I'm here Jazz." I comforted.

The way Bella was holding me was so different than Alice. It was like Bella wasn't scared to get close to me even when she could see how mad I was. I knew Bella was special but I never realized just how special she really is.

Once I calmed down enough I told her Alice was leaving me. She looked like she was ready to throw things at Alice to defend me. If she went after Alice, Bella would get hurt and I think Bella knew that I didn't want her to go after Alice for hurting me. I still thought I would have calm Bella down. Once again she surprised me and calmed herself. I did have to replace my cell phone once again.

Throughout the day I did have my moments of anger and sadness. And Bella did everything in her power to bring me back to the here and now. We watched movies and just talked for hours on end. Just knowing that Bella was there for me filled me with such warmth that I haven't felt in years. I was thinking of introducing Bella to Peter and Charlotte. Maybe Peter can help me make sense of all this.

In the months that Jasper has returned to Forks, he has proved to me that I am worth it all, and not the weak person that Edward thought that I was. When Jasper told me that Alice was leaving him, I really wanted to make him feel like he is worth caring about as well. The scary thing is I feel a lot closer to Jasper than I ever did with Edward. Although I'm not going to push Jasper into anything that he doesn't want. First things first get Jasper though this hard time.

-Cullen house, RPOV-

Over the last few days I've been pretty silent since the family meeting. Just watching my family members closely. I couldn't believe how Bella not only stood up to Edward but how much she believed in my twin. I now realized that Jasper was stronger than anyone of us. Even Bella was just as strong as Jasper. I knew I had to tell Bella my story no matter how hard it would be on me.

Then this morning, I overheard Alice on the phone with Jasper. And her words surprised me, Alice breaking up with her mate over Bella's birthday. This would tear the family apart even more. I do have to say I would be on Jasper and Bella's side if they will have me. I just hoped Emmett would be with me.

Everyone in my family thinks of me as a great big child, but I'm so much more than that. I let them think that most of the time. I know there is going to be a point when I would have to change that. I also know I miss my brother and newest sister. I know that Jasper is taking care of Bella. And for that I'm grateful.

I thought things were getting better, but boy was I wrong. For that morning I heard Alice asking for a divorce, that meaning only one thing. Alice was talking to Jasper. How could she just leave someone that she's been in love with for over 80 years? I know I couldn't ever leave Rosalie no matter what. I quickly got up to go find my wife.

When I did find Rosalie, I knew she heard the phone call as well. And she was just as pissed as I was. We decided to wait to call Jasper till later that night. To give him time to calm down and probably obtain a new cell phone.

Later that night after Bella went home for the night, I started to clean up when my new cell phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hi Jasper." Rosalie said.

"I thought you might be..."

"Alice?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm glad you're not though." I said.

"Me too, brother."

"Do you know what she's doing?" I asked.

"Both me and Emmett do." she replied.

"I don't know what to do now Rose."

"I know you don't Jazz, but you are so strong."

"That's what Bella said as well."

"I knew she was smart, how is she?" she asked.

"Better, we spent the day together, she spent most of the time cheering me up." I stated.

"She is a great friend to you Jasper."

"That she is Rose."

"Do you want me and Emmett to come home for a while? It might help you and Bella."

"You would do that?" I asked.

"Of course Emmett and I have all ready talked about it."

"Thanks Rose, but can you give us a few weeks, I'm going to take Bella to meet Peter and Charlotte."

"We can do that, why don't you call us when you get back."

"Sounds good, tell Emmett thank you for me."

"You know I will." As she hung up.

I smiled as I thought about my talk with Rose. It was no great surprise that she and Emmett would support me. But my sister supporting Bella took me by great surprise. I hope that they would get along well. I guess we will see when we get back from meeting Peter and Charlotte.

I called Bella to ask her if she wanted to take a trip with me for a few weeks. Of course she said yes but I think she was taken back when I asked to speak to her father. Since I wanted to make sure he was alright with Bella going with me. And to my great surprise, he was.

He put Bella back on the phone I just told her that she would love where we were going. And a little more about Peter and Charlotte. I know she's been wanting to meet them for some time now. So she was very happy after that. After hanging up with Bella my cell phone rang again and I knew it was Peter since he just seemed to know crap. After agreeing that I would see him that next week. I told him that I would be bringing Bella with me. And of course Peter teased me a lot about Bella. I've always known that he and Alice have never gotten along that much. I warned my friends about their eating habits since it might scare Bella. He understood of course and told me not to worry so much. No one understood me as much as Peter and Charlotte. Maybe Bella was starting too.

The rest of that week few by rather fast. Bella was with me as I signed the divorce papers that were sent by Alice thankfully. I now understood what Bella felt we all left her here all alone. The emptiness almost overtook me as it did Bella. If it wasn't for Bella telling me that I could get though this, I'm pretty sure I would have lost control of everything. Of course Bella knew that was the last thing I ever wanted.

It was soon time for Bella and I to get on the road. To the one place I hadn't even brought Alice to, my childhood home that I had loaned to Peter and Charlotte to live in. And just knowing that there will always be a Whitlock living there was so great. Where I was born to be a gentleman. Bella still had no clue where we would end up. Or how special the house was to me. Where time stood still and the one place I felt at ease. Where I was still Jasper Whitlock and not Jasper Hale. As I was driving I smiled for the first time in days.

-BPOV-

Where we were going had to be important to Jazz to invite me along. I hope I would figure it out before we got there. I can't wait to meet Jasper's friends that he speaks so highly of. I hope that they like me. But we will have wait and see what happens. I know that they weren't like the Cullen's, but I don't see how they can be as bad as James. I also know that Jasper wouldn't take me anywhere that's unsafe. He's too much a gentleman. He woke me up once we reached the last state on the way. You would never believe where we are! I couldn't seem to wake up at this point. I was looking at the welcome to Texas sign. The one place I always wanted to visit.
