Previously: Bella went straight to Edwards's room to talk. But when she opened the door she saw Jasper in there with Edward.
"You're not supposed to be in the east wing" said Bella. "You must leave at once."
"You don't tell me what to do" said Jasper.
"Yes I can" said Bella "I have the authority to do so and you have to obey."
"Bella, your my mate…I can't just be away from you" said Jasper. "I love you."
"That's right, I am your mate not her! And if you really loved me you wouldn't of chosen her over me!" yelled Bella. "Now leave."
"As you wish love" said Jasper sadly.
Jasper walked away hoping Bella would soon forgive him, for he has a ring in his pocket that was believed to be his mothers and he is just dying to give it to her he just didn't know when the right time was.
Bella stared at the door where Jasper walked out of, dropped to her knees and just broke down. She put her shield, ran to her room, sat on her bed and just rested her chin on her knees. Deep down she knew Jasper was helping Alice because he didn't want to feel her pain…but she just wished he would rescue her like he does Alice.
Chapter 23
Thinking to Edward, Bella sighed and said "Edward…what should I do? I mean I love Jasper and I know he'd never do anything to hurt me, but I can't help but feel he still has something going on with Alice… do I sound crazy?"
Walking into Bella's room and her allowing him to enter her bubble shield, he said mentally: "Bella you're not crazy…I actually feel the same way right now. I wish Alice and Jasper would spend less time together but the truth is, they have been best friends for a longtime…I know it seems hard to understand but even though you and Jasper have that strong mating connection, they will always have somewhat of a connection because of all those years they were together…do you understand?"
"Yeah" thought Bella "I guess I should talk to Japer now huh?"
"Only if you're ready Bella" thought Edward. "If you want you can always wait a day or a few hours to think about what you're going to say…you can even practice on me if you want."
"Ok" thought Bella "How about I tell him this: Jasper, I know I will never understand the connection that you and Alice have, but I am your mate and you need to start paying more attention to me if you honest and truly love me…because even though this hurts to say, you're close to losing me. I know that it will be hard to break the mating bond but I know it can be done, and if you don't want to lose me then you need to man up and be with me and not your ex wife!" how was that asked Bella?
"That was good" thought Edward "I think you will do great. Do you want me to go find Jasper or do you want to go find him?"
"I'll do it" said Bella as her shield disappeared.
"Do what?" asked Alec as he walked in.
"I was just going to go talk to Jasper" said Bella.
"Do you mind if I accompany you?" asked Alec.
" Um sure" said Bella hesitant.
Then they started on their walk toward the west wing.
