Jasper led me to the kitchen and started rubbing some cream on my wrist.

"You think you'll ever forgive him?" He asked me quietly.

I sighed. "I want to, I really do, but I don't think I could. I used to look at him, and be filled with love but now I just…I'm really mad at him."

He nodded. "I know what you mean, I'm really disappointed with Alice."

He looked into my eyes, and I was suddenly really aware that he was holding my hand, and massaging my wrist. It felt…really good.

He grinned at me. "You alright now, darlin?"

I smiled back at him. "Yeah, it's a lot better."

He grinned and put back the cream, but I noticed he didn't let go of my hand.

"Jasper."

"Yeah?"

"I really like your accent." I smiled at him.

"Why thank you darlin." He chuckled.

"Where's Caitlyn?" I remembered suddenly.

He laughed. "Did you think I'd forgotten about her? Don't worry, she's with my parents, I thought it would be better for her, not to be around for a while."

I nodded in agreement. Jasper sat down on one of the stools, and patted the one next to him, I smiled and joined him, but then I thought about Edward and my smile vanished.

Jasper noticed and he took my hand again.

"Hey, listen to me. You're going to find someone on day, who will actually treat you well, he'll love you and will never do anything to hurt you."

I smiled at him. "Really?"

"Yeah. But if you're not reassured let's make a pact."

"A pact?"

"Yeah, if neither of us finds someone new in the next five years, we'll get together." He grinned at me.

I pouted. "I'm sorry, I already have that pact with someone."

His grin disappeared, and he looked disappointed.

"With who?"

I smiled at him. "With a friend of mine, he has a really cute accent." I winked at him.

He grinned again. "Oh really? He must be really good looking to choose him over me?" He winked back at me again.

"Oh yeah he's gorgeous, but he's the jealous type, so you better be careful." I grinned at him.

"Well he sounds like an amazing guy."

"Yeah, but I'm pretty sure he's gay."

Jasper laughed. "And I'm pretty sure you took that off 'Friends'

"You watch 'Friends'? I smiled at him.

"Yeah, it's amazing, who wouldn't?"

"Edward didn't." I frowned.

"Edward's a loser." Jasper winked at me, and I laughed. It was nice being with Jasper.

His grin vanished, and he looked over my head.

"We have company."

I turned around, and saw Edward scowling at us.

"Nice to see you two bonding over my loserishness."

"Nice to see you have nothing better to do other than eavesdrop on us." I retorted.

'Actually I came to talk to Jasper, and instead I saw him making a move on my girlfriend."

I scowled back at him. "Exgirlfriend."

"We've only been broken up for half a day."

"Yes, because I thought you were dead for the last month!"

"Not my fault. That was Alice's idea."

"And who's idea was it to sleep with her?" I asked him. That shut him up.

"Jasper. I want to talk to you."

"Well, talk." Jasper said.

Edward looked at me and then looked back. "Alone."

"Anything you say can be said in front of Bella."

I admired Jasper for standing up to Edward, but I could tell he was about to be punched so I interrupted.

"It's fine Jasper, I'll go."

He looked at me. "I'll see you soon." He smiled softly at me.

I smiled back then left, glaring at Edward on the way out. He just looked at me sadly.

I left the kitchen and I was immediately lost. Rose's house was massive! I looked around. There were corridors leading in different directions and rooms along them. Jasper had led me to the kitchen and I hadn't really been concentrating. Jasper, Alice and Edward had been here lots, but I'd only been once, since I travelled to the future. I looked around and picked a corridor at random and set off. I heard noises coming from one of the rooms and crept towards it. It was quiet so I opened the door. It was a bedroom, and Alice was standing in the middle.

She turned towards me, and glared.

'What are you doing here?" I asked her.

"Edward and I are staying here for a bit."

I was shocked. 'And Rose let you?"

'No, but Emmett did. We've been friends for a long time, and he felt sorry for me." Alice smiled triumphantly.

"Well you're not wanted here."

"I'm wanted by some people, one of them being your boyfriend." She said, looking smug.

I almost slapped her, but I stopped myself.

"But why do you want to stay here? What's here for you?" I asked her.

"Well, I have to be around, to stop you ruining my marriage."

"You still think you can save your marriage?"

"Your relationship with Edward may be ruined but I can still save mine! I won't have you worming yourself between me and Jasper."

"I don't think that's your decision to make!"

She laughed. "You think Jasper likes you? He's just mad at me. You're his rebound girl! He still loves me! We were married for ten years, we have a daughter together! Do you think he can leave me that easily?"

I stepped back. "He won't go back to you!"

"Why? Because of your 'pact'?"

"How do you know about that?" I asked her, stunned.

She laughed. "I had the same pact with him, over 10 years ago and we did get married. He uses that line all the time, don't believe it. He still loves me, whatever he tells you."

"Bella?" I heard Rose's voice calling me from the corridor.

I glared at Alice and left the room, slamming the door behind me, frustrated with Alice.

"Rose?" I called out.

Rosalie appeared around a corner. "I've been looking for you! I have a bedroom for you." She smiled warmly at me.

I hugged her suddenly.

"That was random." She smiled.

"I'm just glad to have you as a true friend."

She smiled, slightly confused, and then looked behind me, realizing where I came from.

"Ignore her, Bella. She's just jealous and spiteful."

I nodded, and followed her to my bedroom.

"I'll leave you alone for a bit." She smiled at me and left. I sat down on the bed and sighed. I was interrupted by a phone ringing. I dug it out of my jeans, and opened it. It was Edward. I decided to ignore it, and I lay down on the bed. I suddenly realized that this would be Edward from the past, the one that hadn't cheated on me.

I answered the call quickly.

"Edward?"

"Bella! Are you alright? Did you find out anything about your kidnapper?"

"No, I told you, I can't. I'll come back in ten years, remember I told you?"

I heard him sigh. "Jacob told me you wanted to talk to me."

I remembered my conversation with Jake. I'd forgotten about that. I suddenly realized that this was my chance, my chance to make it all right again, if I told him not to drive on that day, we would never have had the accident, and he would never have cheated on me! I could fix all this.

"Yes I did. Edward, listen to me carefully."

I was interrupted by a knock on the door, and it slowly opened, Jasper walked in.

"Hey. Oh sorry, I didn't realize you were on the phone. I'll come back later." He grinned at me, and left.

"Bella? Are you still there? Who was that? Was that your kidnapper?"

I hesitated. If I told him, I would still be with Edward, but I remembered what Jasper had told me in the kitchen.

"Hey, listen to me. You're going to find someone one day, who will actually treat you well, he'll love you and will never do anything to hurt you."

I remember the way Jasper had held my hand, and his eyes…his beautiful eyes. If we didn't have the accident, I would never have bonded with Jasper. Was I falling for Jasper?

"Bella? What did you want to tell me?"

It was Edward or Jasper. I had to make my choice.

I looked at the phone and I made my decision.

'Edward…I wanted to tell you…
