:] I like the reviews I got yesterday so I'm going to continue writing, I guess. More reviews! I like reviews a lot. I'm sorry if sometimes during the chapter I may get a bit bored and make something extremely silly happen. Put up with me. :]

02: I Love You

Edward and I began to dance together, grinding on the dance floor. No one really paid any attention to us. Rosalie was giggling like crazy with Alice. So embarrassing.

He pulled my lips to his and we shared a very passionate kiss on the floor, his tongue traced my lower lip and begged for permission to enter. I opened my mouth to him and closed my eyes. He poured every ounce of love and passion into this single kiss.

A sudden flash scared me and I pulled my lips away, hiding my face in Edward's neck. Edward has always been a bit taller than me. He went to yell at whoever had frightened me when he laid eyes on a crazed Alice and began to laugh loudly.

"Alice!" I groaned, blushing furiously.

She giggled and shoved me playfully but her shove caused me to fall back and onto the ground, I landed on my back side.

Edward sighed, "Jazz! You're so clumsy." he muttered as he helped me up.

I can say that Edward has changed a lot in the past two years we've been together; I don't think I can deal with it anymore. He used to be so sweet, kind, polite, and the perfect gentleman. Now he is just...embarrassed to be around me. Yeah, I can be clumsy but that's just apart of who I am! I won't change myself for anyone.

He was holding onto my hand so I ripped mine from his, his eyes shot to me in confusion when I angrily stormed off. Alice frowned when she noticed me retreating and Rosalie chased after me. My sweet and innocent baby sister. She grabbed onto my shoulder, "Jasper?" she called.

"What?" I snapped at her.

I'd never really snapped at her before so she winced and pulled her hand away, it wasn't her fault that Edward pissed me off sometimes. Her blue eyes began to shine with tear and so I pulled her tightly to my chest.

"I'm sorry but...I don't think Edward and I are even working out." I whispered softly to her.

A slow song had come on and we danced underneath the red lights, she looked up at me with worry swimming deep in her eyes.

"Is he hurting you?" why would she even ask that?

My eyes widened, "No! He's just not my Edward anymore." I explained more clearly.

"Jasper, people always changed like a lot of people in our life have. Edward is just one of the many." she said, trying to save our relationship.

I pulled her out of the club and dragged her over to the corner of the sidewalk where there was a bench. We both sat down and clutched onto each other in the shivering cold, "I don't know." I said.

"I don't want to lose you again." she admitted out of nowhere.

I knew what she meant by that, after our parents died I just separated myself from the world and especially her. She was suffering herself and I did nothing to help her. Only when she was raped had I really woken up to the world around me. I found myself in this perfect world with the most loving little sister I could ever have. She was sixteen (now 20).

"Rosie, I'm here to stay for good. I may not be one hundred percent yet but I'm here and I can feel you." I said, raising her hand to the side of my face.

She felt so warm to me.

A few tears fell down her cheeks, "I'm just scared that something will happen and I'll lose you for good." she choked out.

Rosalie broke down and began to sob heavily, I held onto her tightly and rubbed her back soothingly. Her tears wet the front of my shirt but I didn't care much for it anymore. My little sister is all that I need.

I remember the day she was raped so clearly.

That day...

I was laying on my bed with my blankets covering my entire body, my music blasting. I found it odd that Rosalie wasn't even attempting to speak to me at all today.

How strange.

That's when worry set in, an actual emotion since that day several months.

I sat up and got up, pulling on my converse before walking out. As I walked down the hall towards her bedroom, I noticed that there was glass shattered all around the hallway. Fear struck me.

"Rose?" I called out.

A muffled scream came from her bedroom and I took off towards it, throwing the door open to see her boyfriend hovering over her. He was...in her. I have never felt so disgusted in my life.

Her eyes shot to me and I grabbed onto her baseball bat, raising it. He was a dead man. The bat smashed against the side of his head which caused him to instantly knock out. He fell off the bed and onto the ground.

She reached for me and I quickly yanked her off the bed. I need to get her away from him. I grabbed her cell phone, "911!" I shouted to myself and dialed the number down.

"Hello, what is your emergency?" a woman's voice asked.

"Hello, my name is Jasper Gregory Hale and I live on..." I told her everything and she told me to stay on the phone until the police arrived.

Rose was clinging onto me and her nails digging into my shoulders but I ignored the pain. I was used to it. Her tears wouldn't stop spilling down her flushed cheeks.

The front door slammed open downstairs and footsteps filled the entire house, I was holding onto the bat so tight that my knuckles turned a very pale white and I had it stretched out so that if he stood up I would be able to bash him again. Some men flooded into the room and saw the man the second they came in, "We'll make sure he never hurts you." the cop said and reached out to take Rose.

She shrieked and hid in my arms, "I have her." I mumbled.

I stood and carried her down the stairs, they put her in the ambulance and I covered her with my sweater. She just stared at me with those eyes. Eyes so familiar to me.

Eyes that cried for help.

Rosalie had somehow fallen asleep in my arms and I looked up to see Edward staring at me, Alice had went home.

He took Rosalie from me and nodded, "I'll walk you home." he said.

We started walking home in silence when he looked over at me, "Why did you leave?" he asked.

"You pissed me off." I answered, I wasn't shy or afraid anymore.

He raised his eyebrows, "What did I do now?" he asked.

I ignored him when we reached my house, I unlocked the front door and let him carry Rose into her bedroom. I closed the door behind me so that I could go to my own room when Edward's lips crashed to mine. My eyes widened but that's when I saw he was crying.

Edward Cullen...cried?

Wow, that's new.

I closed my eyes and he hastily tore my clothes off, I did the same with him. I knew that I loved Edward Cullen more than I loved myself but never more than I loved Rosalie. She was my everything. We made our way to my bedroom and he shut the door with his foot.

With the curtains opened, we made love under the moon's glare.

Next Day

I woke up with Edward's arms wrapped tightly around my waist, Alice and Rosalie were kneeling at the side of the bed. They were giggling quietly and I just stared at them until I realized that Edward and I were in the nude.

"Ah!" I shouted, covering myself with my blanket.

Edward rolled onto his back and yawned, "Hmm?" he hummed.

"Out!" I growled, pointing towards the door.

The two girls stood and skipping out, slamming the door shut behind them. He smiled at me, "I love you." he whispered.

"Mmm...I love you, too." I said, kissing him lightly.

When he was sure the girls were gone, he sat up and looked at me. It was hard to concentrate with him being naked and all but I could tell that this would be a serious conversation.

"I know lately I've been hard to reach...to be with...but you've stuck with me up until now. I'm just so fucking depressed!" he said, tugging at his own hair.

I placed a calm hand on his back, "Depressed?" I asked.

Why would Edward be depressed?

"Mama and Papa keep nagging Mum and Dad to get me with a girl instead of a guy. I keep telling them that I love you and I don't want to be with anyone else but they just turn away like they're disgusted. I feel dirty." he confessed.

Oh shit...what was he trying to say?

Tears came to my eyes, "Edward..." I trailed off.

"I can't be with you..." my heart broke, "but I'm going to be with you anyways." he said with a smile.

I tackled him and he laughed loudly, "I love you." he said.

"Love you, too." I said before kissing him.

"Jasper? What's wrong?" Edward asked.

I didn't dare to look at him in fear of him seeing my face, I made sure the lights were turned off before he came into the room. He went to turn the light on when he found that I had smashed the light bulbs.

No light.

"Baby, this isn't funny. What's wrong?" he asked a second time.

I couldn't answer him because my voice would reveal that something was indeed wrong.

How silly I was to forget to close the curtains as I stared out at the moon, he walked over and saw only some of the cuts across my face. The damn moon light was showing him everything!

"Who did this to you?" he demanded.

I turned my head to look at him and he gasped, "Oh my god..." he choked out.

He thought I was ugly...but that's ok because I think I am, too.

"I don't know." I answered his past question.

He didn't even listen to me. He pulled me to him and let me lay in his warm, his delicious scent. His hands were rubbing my back.

"I'm sorry..." he said but his voice cracked.

I looked up at him and saw that he was crying, my Edward was crying. I reached up and wiped away his own tears, "Not...your fault..." I murmured.

"I wasn't here...I didn't p-protect you!" he cried.

My heart ached. I hated to see Edward cry, it was like someone wanted to get back at me for past mistakes.

"I love you." that would distract him.

His eyes widened and some more tears fell, "Y-you...love me?" he asked.

"A lot...I love you a lot, Edward." I said.

Our lips touched lightly, "I love you." he mumbled against my lips.

Would our life be so good forever? I hope so.

Edward left for work when suddenly thoughts of her flooded into my head, I had been thinking about her but more focused on Edward at the time. Her plump lips, long wavy hair, and deliciously soft pale skin. A beauty.

The real question was...

Would I ever see her again?

I am listening to Beautiful

by Eminem.

He ROCKS.

I meant the caps.

I hope you guys continue reading my stories.
