I don't own Twilight. I don't know how much longer I can take these Robless days. Isn't winter depressing enough without any glimpse of him? lol

This is a slash story with m/m lemons involved and language. If you're under 18 or that's not your thing, please just hit the red X.

There will be alternate POV's every day. They are both pretty damn talkative now!

Reviewer of the day goes to... featherme who said, "*Sobs* Poor Edward. It nearly killed me that he begged his father to love him. It was great though to see Edward stand up to him, and in the heat of the moment, as much as I would love to see Edward, or Jasper, or Carlise...beat his ass, I guess Carlisle is right (damn it). Some stranger could kick his ass though. That would be alright wouldn't it? :)" It was so weird that half of you want Jasper to kick his ass, and the other half want him to be calm and not do anything crazy. It was great reading all your opinions. Let's see what he does…..


Chapter 98 - Leaving

J-

When we finally pull up to Edward's house, I'm confused at first. What the hell is my mom's car doing here? Then I remember she had picked Edward's mom up for lunch today. Looking beyond her car to the front of the house, I find myself seeing something I can't quite believe.

Edward has his dad pushed up against the bricks of the house with his arm bent painfully behind him. I see his mom clutching mine, and both of them are crying uncontrollably. What the fuck happened here?

"Shit."

I hear my dad ground out in a voice that sounded like he was pissed and scared all at the same time. We both get out of the truck as fast as we can and run up the driveway. Edward doesn't even notice that we're there.

"How do you like it, you motherfucker? How does it feel to be hurt by someone who was supposed to love you?"

I don't know what the hell is going on here, but from his words, I'm already starting to feel the anger well up inside of me. Did he lay a hand on my boy? Did he have to defend himself? His dad better pray that's not what happened here or a little pain in his arm is going to be the least of his worries.

"Fuck you! Get your disgusting hands off me!"

Disgusting hands? What the hell is he talking about? It flashes through my mind that he's found out the truth about us, but it's just impossible. There's no way he could have found out.

Dad talks Edward into letting him go, and then holds him while he cries. The pain of hearing him say to my dad over and over, "He doesn't love me." is almost too much for me to take. My legs buckle, and I have to try hard to stay on my feet. I need to be strong for him now more than ever.

"Carlisle, this is none of your fucking business. Take your nosey wife, and get the hell off my property before I call the police."

This shit is actually going down then? I know for a fact my dad won't tolerate him talking about my mom that way. I'm very sure if he wasn't supporting Edward right now, Ed Sr. would be flat on his ass.

I need to find out what the fuck is going on here. I guess the best place to do that is at the source of all this pain.

"Mr. Masen, I think you and I need to have a little talk."

I walk over and stand right in front of him. I'm taller than he is, and it pleases me that he has to look up to meet my eyes.

"What exactly do you think we have to talk about, boy? He's a fag, and from what I hear I probably have you to thank for that. Is that what you've been doing all summer? I knew he could never do any sort of work. He was probably out there giving you and your dad blowjobs so you'd both tell me he was doing a good job."

At first, I'm speechless. The anger I was feeling just tripled. This man in front of me is going to be lucky to get out of this day with all his fucking teeth.

I take another step toward him so we're almost touching. I can smell the alcohol on him, and it's enough to make me gag.

"Don't Jasper."

I hear dad's voice, and it brings me back to myself momentarily. The red I was seeing fades to a light pink, but doesn't go away.

"What are you talking about? Where the hell did you hear something like that about Edward?"

I needed to know if he was just bullshitting us or if he actually had proof. I can't think of a single way he could have been able to find out about us.

"Well, you sick fuck, I have an eye witness. Your lovely sister came over to the house crying this afternoon. She was inconsolable, because she said her brother was fucking the man she loved."

I hear both mom and dad gasp behind me. I kind of feel sorry for them finding out the truth about Rose this way, but I think maybe now they'll finally open their eyes to the monster she really is.

"She told me how you two have been inseparable all summer, and that she should have figured it out sooner. It took me a good hour to make sure she felt all better before she left."

He got an disgusting smirk on his face then, and I realized what he was telling me. My stomach turns at the thought of it.

I feel dad's hand on my shoulder pulling me back from him. I didn't even realize that I had him backed up against the brick.

"Jasper, take Edward. Get him in the truck and take him home."

I stumble back, and grab for Edward still looking at the face of the man I hate more than anything in world. When I feel Edward's arms wrap around me, I can breath again. He's with me and he's safe. We can deal with anything as long as we're together.

"Okay, I think this little party is over with. I don't give a fuck where you take him. He's no longer welcome in my house, and since his mom seems to be worthless at the moment, I'm just going to throw all his shit out."

I feel Edward stiffen in my arms, and his pulls his head from the crook of my neck to look at his dad.

"I'm going inside and getting mine and mom's things. Don't even think about stopping me."

"What the hell are you talking about? You mother isn't going anywhere. You have 5 minutes, then I want you off my property and I never want to see your queer ass again."

Pulling free from my mom, I see Mrs. Masen wipe the tears off her face and walk towards her husband.

"Oh, great. So now she starts moving. Get in the fucking house now, Lizzy!"

Her face is calm as she reaches back and slaps him hard across the face. I almost smile when I hear him cry out in pain.

"I'm going inside that house, Ed, don't worry about that. I'm going to pack my things and then I'm leaving with my son."

Edward's dad lunges at his mom as she turns to go into the house. Such a fucking coward, even to a woman he waits until her back is turned. Dad steps in front of him to block his path.

"Don't even think about touching either one of them or you will regret it you piece of shit."

Dad's voice is lethal, and it honestly scares me. Edward lets go of me and catches up to his mom. They walk into the house hand in hand.

Looking down, I feel my own mom's hand wrap around my own. Her eyes are red from crying, but she's trying to smile.

"Everything is going to okay, Jasper. We're going to get them home, and take care of them."

I just nod, and look back over at where dad and douche bag are standing. I want to go inside to help Edward, but I can't leave dad out here all alone with this man.

Who knows what he's capable of doing, now that everything in his life is slowly slipping away.

.

E-

Once we're inside the house with the door shut, I turn to mom and wrap up in a tight hug.

"Why didn't you tell me he was hurting you? I would never have let that happen. We could have left a long time ago!"

"Honey, it's okay. He's always been rough with me, but honestly this was the first time he's really hurt me like this. Things at work are not going as well as he would like, and I have a feeling we're running out of money fast. He just took it out on me when you were gone."

Closing my eyes, I try not to blame myself for all that's happening, but how can I not?

"Mom, I'm so sorry for everything. If I had been a better son, if I had tried harder to play sports and do the things he wanted me to do…."

"No! Never think that. You're the perfect son. I haven't loved your father for a very long time, but I was raised to see divorce as giving up. God, I'm so sorry that I was stupid enough to believe that. I've ruined your childhood staying with him."

She starts crying again, and I hug her again to try and calm her down.

"Hey, it's in the past. Let's just get some things packed, and get out of here. Then we can start our future."

She smiles at me through her tears and grabs my hand.

"That sounds perfect. Let's get out of here."

Running up to my room, I grab my large suitcase out of the closet and start filling it will clothes and everything I need from the bathroom. I know I'm in shock, because I honestly don't feel a thing. No sadness or remorse. I just have a single-minded focus on getting packed and back to Jasper as soon as I possibly can. By his side, I know I can handle anything.

I finish up quickly, realizing there really isn't much from this room I want or need. My whole life fits inside a suitcase.

Walking down the hall, I see mom putting all our photo albums into a smaller suitcase. She's crying when I walk into the room to help her.

"I can't leave these here. Who knows what he'd do to them. I have all the DVD's of you from when you were little and all your piano recitals."

She's starting to lose it, and I know I need to get her out of here before she does. If he sees that she's vulnerable, he'll try and take advantage of it and talk her into staying.

I zip up all the memories of my childhood in the suitcase and carry it out into the hallway. Mom is still crying, but she follows behind me with her own.

Walking out the front door, I'm shocked to see a police care in the driveway. Oh my God, this is not good. I'm going to get taken to jail for hurting my dad.

I see a man in a uniform talking calmly to Carlisle. Dad is standing over to the side with his arms crossed.

"So let me get this straight, the wife and son are leaving with you?"

"Yes, Chief. We're taking them both back to our house."

"I want that piece of shit arrested right now! He physically attacked me on my front lawn. I'm sure all the neighbors saw it."

My stomach drops as the man in uniform walks over to me. His mustache twitches a small bit in what I think is a small smile.

"So you're the famous Edward, huh? My Bella has told me a lot about you."

Bella? I totally forgot that Bella's dad was the Chief of Police.

"Yes, sir. I'm Edward."

"Well, son, is what your father saying true? Did you hurt him?"

I open my mouth to tell him what I did and just get it over with, but he holds his hand up before I can.

"What happened here, Edward? Looks like blood on your back."

He grabs my shoulders and turns my back toward him. I turn my head as far as I can, look back. I can see where the blood from where he shoved me into the brick's edge has seeped through my shirt.

I look back over my shoulder, just in time to see Jasper lunging for my father. He can't hurt him with the Chief right here!

Carlise grabs him in time to slow him down, but he can't hold him long. Bella's dad rushes over to help hold him back.

"Now, son, you need to calm down now. Don't do anything stupid I'm going to have to arrest you for."

"Arrest me! It would be fucking worth it! Just wait you son of a bitch, you're going to pay for what you've done to Edward!"

"You better stay away from me. This is over now. I won't press charges, but I want them off my property right now."

Grabbing my mom's hand, I pull her over to Esme and she helps us load our suitcases into her trunk. I think dad has just realized that mom is actually serious about leaving.

"Lizzy, you better not even think about leaving with them. If you do, don't you ever come back."

She just shakes her head, and looks him in the eye.

"Don't worry. I won't ever be back. Enjoy the rest of your life alone."

Chief Swan helps mom into the back of Esme's car. Jasper is still seething, but doesn't need to be restrained anymore. Carlisle lets him go, and walks toward the car.

"Jasper, I'm going to ride with your mom and Elizabeth. I need you to get Edward to the house safely. Do you think you can do that? Are you okay to drive?"

He just nods his head, and keeps taking deep breaths to try and calm himself down. He never takes his eyes off my dad, who is standing in the doorway.

Walking over to Jasper's truck, Chief Swan stops me before I can get in.

"Edward, you let me know if he gives you or your mom any trouble, okay? You call me at home if you need to."

"Thanks, Chief Swan. I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of this."

"It's my job, son. I also love my daughter very much, and she's told me what a good man you are, Edward. If you need me, don't hesitate to call. That goes for you too, Jasper."

He looks over at Jasper then and puts his cop face back on.

"I want you to stay away from him. You hear me, Jasper? He's trouble, and he won't hesitate to press charges and get your ass thrown in jail. You have your future to think about. Don't let him do anything to jeopardize that."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, get home and take care of your mom, Edward. She's going to need you now."

He turns and gets back into the police car. Getting in the cab of the truck, I fasten my seatbelt and do everything I can to avoid looking over at my dad. I don't want to see him, but I can feel him watching me.

"Edward?"

I look over at Jasper, and see him staring at something. I know right away it's my dad.

"Yeah?"

I watch as he leans over and wraps his soft hands around my face.

"I want to show this motherfucker what love looks like."

Then his lips are on mine, and as much as I want to pull back out of fear of what my dad might do, I can't make myself do it. Jasper's lips feel too good against mine, and I need the comfort and love he's giving me.

He pulls back and looks over toward the house with a large grin on his face. I don't look over, but I can only imagine the look on my father's face at the moment.

Jasper looks back at me and grabs my hand.

"Let's go home, baby."

He couldn't get me there fast enough.


Oh, I bet Ed Sr. didn't like that one damn bit! Now what do you think the Cullen's are going to do with Rose after finding out this whole mess was all her fault? I'd love to hear your worst (or best) ways of getting rid of her! haha

Thank you all so much for taking your time to give me your thoughts on how the story is going. I love to hear your theories, and can't help but pout when you guess all my secrets. :)

See you tomorrow!
