HEY LONG TIME NO SEE!

I know, I know.

Too long.

Well, review lovelies.

This is my present to you.

Because I'm a jerk for not updating.

07: Almost Everything

It had been weeks since Bella and I woke up in the storage room. Our clothes discarded onto the ground, bodies drenched with sweat. The two of us had been shocked and utterly humiliated at what had happened. There was no one in the bar when we walked outside awkward. My shirt hung off my thin bones. It was like I had lost a few pounds during last night's event. She looked at me with those wide, chocolate eyes. The way she looked at me made me want to just pull her to my chest and shelter her from the world.

I'm sorry.

Those two words set my world on fire. My lips didn't move as she walked away from me, she had the same dress on. But she carried her heels in her hands on her way out. I could only stare at her tempting back while she walked away. The girl I had fallen in love with upon first sighting. Love at first sight. Yeah, I believed in a select few things. The idea of falling in love upon first glance was lovely.

But with her? It would be amazing. I believed that my heart belonged to solely her. There was no other person in this world that could make me feel the way she had. My heart would race whenever I thought about her and my palms would sweat. Natural reactions. Not for me though. I had always been calm and collected. Sure, I would blush. Though that happened whenever Rosalie embarrassed me.

Alice sat in front of me during lunch with her lips moving at a rapid speed. I just stared blankly at her lips. What the hell was she saying? My sound had suddenly disappeared while I was buried within my thoughts. She seemed to have noticed I wasn't paying attention because she stopped speaking. Her hand raised and she slapped me across the face. The sting of it hurt like a bitch.

"Ow! What the hell, Alice?"

She crossed her arms over her chest, "You're not paying attention to anything anyone tells you." she spat.

"What are you talking about? I was just listening to you."

Her eyes narrowed, "Oh yeah? What did I just say?" she asked.

That was unfair. My eyebrows furrowed in thought and I scratched the top of my head. I hadn't the slightest clue. The fact that half the school was staring at me didn't help my memory either. I moved to hid my cheek with my hair that had grown a bit too long. These bangs needed to be cut. My hands played with the ends of my stringy hair.

"I don't know."

A few tears filled her eyes. I reached out to grab onto her shoulders, but she shoved me back. The force of her push had sent me flying off the chair. My rear hit the ground hard and I had a sudden flash back to the night she had done that to me when Edward was with me at the club. Tears filled me own eyes and I stood up out of anger.

"You don't understand anything! All you care about is yourself and what'll make you happy. What about me? Damn it."

I violently ripped my book bag from the seat I had been occupying. She stumbled back, staring at me. My outburst had startled her. I was prepared to rip a person's throat out at that moment. Our eyes met for a few seconds. The reflection of my inner demon shined in her two orbs. I felt bad about yelling at her but I wasn't about to apologize. All she thought about was herself. She never thought about what would happen if she did something that affected me. No one cared.

My feet sped towards the door. A small body moved in my way and I pushed past the person, "Ah!" a loud crash sounded.

The noise made my ears ring. But I didn't stop. I continued my way. That person should've been watching out.

"Bella! Are you okay? Damn, you're ankle."

Bella? I turned to see that Bella was on the ground, clutching onto her now swollen ankles. My eyes widened. She was the one person I never wanted to hurt because she was precious to me. I moved to approach her. She looked up at me with teary eyes. I had caused those tears. My book bag fell to my side, my body moving so that I was kneeling on my knees, and I grabbed onto her ankle gingerly.

In front of the entire school, I pressed my lips against her swollen ankle. She sat there with a red face while the surrounding students let out whistles and small awes. Our emotions connected instantly. My fingers danced along her warm skin. She had left me that day without saying goodbye. All she could do was apologize for what had happened prior to the morning. She was in my arms. Her arms wrapped tightly around my neck.

"Bella..."

She inhaled deeply, "Take me home. Home." she whispered.

The words matched together in my head. She wanted me to take her home. I would do that for her. The two of us made our way towards my car in the parking lot, everyone was confused. It must've looked like I was abusive to her. That wasn't the case. I would kill myself if I were to harm her in any way whether it be emotionally or physically.

Her rear rested comfortably in the passenger seat of my car. Long, loose curls fell to frame her heart shaped face. She was enticing. The scent of strawberries fanned against my face and I greedily inhaled her unique fragrance. No women I met made my heart melt the way she did. My hands gently placed her injured ankle in the car. I slammed the door shut.

As I walked around the car, I noticed her breathing had become heavy. The way I realized this was because her lips were parted widely and her chest was moving rapidly. All traces of nervousness disappeared when I opened the driver's door. She turned to look at me with a red face. That look on her face was absolutely adorable. The things I would do to her if she weren't injured. I closed my door, started the car, and began my way to the house.

Her nails dug into the material of the seat, "I'm sorry." she choked out.

The sound of her voice worried me and so I turned my head to see that she was crying. Something in me ordered me to pull over, hold her in my arms, and confess everything to her. I did the pull over part. The other things would have to wait awhile. She attempted to control her breathing. That was the reason behind her breathing. She had been crying the entire time. My long finger wiped away her tears.

"You have nothing to be sorry for."

Her head snapped in my direction, "Nothing to be sorry for? I'm the reason you and Edward broke up because I couldn't control my hormones. That's only the first thing. The second thing that I ruined was our friendship. Because I fell in love within a short amount of time and also I became a whore overnight. My virginity is gone. I'm dirty. Disgusting. Foul." her voice was cracking.

"Bella! Don't ever say that about yourself." I pulled her to me and ran my fingers through her hair, "I'm a sucker for love. Edward and I would've broken up sooner or later. We had been having issues for a long time. There was no avoiding it. You're a beautiful and unique girl that I happened to meet while we were still together. Feelings of adoration and lust filled my instantly when our eyes met that night at the club. It was fate that twisted our paths so that we would find each other. Our destiny is to be together." I confessed.

A few more tears fell from her eyes, "Let's be together starting right now." I said.

"I don't think I can do this, Jasper." she said, her voice shaking with fear.

I took her face with my cold hands and smiled, "I'm right here with you and I'm not goin' anywhere." I whispered softly to her.

For some strange reason, Bella believed me.

HEY!

Long time no see.

Sorry it took me forever to update.

But I did.
