A Game Gone Wrong

Let's put it this way, if I owned any of these characters, I wouldn't be typing on a laptop that likes to crash or twisting the story around for my own amusement

CH 4

Bella's breathing was still even and deep when they came to the door. He wasn't surprised; he knew he'd have to face them eventually. It's probably better this way, he thought, with Bella asleep.

"Jasper, please come talk to us." Alice's voice was barely a whisper but he heard it through the door all the same. When they didn't hear him moving, Edward tried.

"Come on Jasper, let us explain." This got a reaction. Slowly, Jasper freed himself from Bella's sleeping embrace and walked to the door. He walked past the couple that stood on the other side and walked down the stairs to the living room where the game had been played hours earlier. He sat in the lone arm chair across the large room, away from any other furniture where the two would either have to stand before him or sit far enough away that others in the household would hear their conversation. They chose to stand before him, both their heads bowed submissively.

"Jazzy please, I'm so sorry. I never meant for you to find out this way," Alice began in a plaintive tone.

"I told you once already Alice, only family calls me anything other than my given name."

"But Jas…" He cut her off with a wave of his hand.

Edward tried. "Jasper please. It just happened!" Jasper replied in a quiet, almost deadly tone.

"No, Edward. Typos in a story just happen. Burning dinner just happens. Hell even me attacking Bella on her birthday just happened. THIS doesn't JUST HAPPEN. THIS is a choice."

"But it wasn't! I would never choose to hurt Bella like that!" Edward cried.

"Like HELL! You destroyed her the last time you made a choice and hurt her. Or do I need to remind you Eddie about your lovely course of action after her 18th birthday? She's had 3 YEARS since then to fall even MORE in love with you. She's given you her entire life and you gave her THIS!" His voice was rising in volume while he said this.

"But Jasper that's not fair! You know we love Bella! We'd do anything for her!" Alice jumped back in. He couldn't handle any more. He began to yell.

"Your version of anything means possibly destroying her for a second time! You ripped her heart out and let her watch as you smashed it into the ground! Maybe I deserved it because of my past, but Bella has never done anything to deserve what the "love of her life" and her "best friend ever" did to her. You deserve to have your heads ripped off and then watch your bodies burn!"

A voice from the stairwell ended his rage. "If you do that Jaz, you'll never forgive yourself." Bella had woken up from her nap. Jasper hurried toward her.

"Bella, after everything they've done…"

"They deserve to suffer every day knowing that we are going to be perfectly happy without them." She gently placed a hand on his chest to calm him before striding over to the terrified looking couple. "And we will be happy. We'll be happier than you two could have ever made us because we won't be living with your lies anymore. We will wake up in the mornings and rather than be depressed at your actions, we will praise Emmett for suggesting that game in the first place. And you two will live every second of every day knowing that you lost the two people you supposedly loved the most for a few moments of passion." With that she turned back to Jasper, grabbed his hand, and walked out the front door.

A/N Sorry for the extreme delay on this chapter…and the fact that it's short. But I've been in Ohio(still am) and have very limited time to write. I'll be home again in July and will start updating regularly again then. In the meantime, show me some love and review. And tell me where Jasper and Bella should escape to.
