"Bella?"

I turned to the voice in complete shock. Could it really be him? Had he really returned after all this time? Or was I finally losing it?

"Jasper?" I asked, still trying to understand the situation.

I knew that he was beside me then. I could hear the rustle of the leaves and the feel that small gust of wind his movement had created. He really was here!

"Bella, what happened?"

I could hear a small tremor of worry in his voice. He cared.

I looked in his direction and heard him gasp. He was seeing my dull, lifeless eyes. Charlie had described them as a mist with a small grayish outline. The pupils were white apparently and slightly creepy. He said that it was slightly unnerving to look me in the eye, but I refused to get sunglasses. Why hide when I didn't need to? Though it made Charlie uncomfortable to look at me, he forced himself to because I am his daughter and loves me, even if I'm freaky.

"What happened?" he repeated.

I could feel cold, firm hands touching my face. He seemed hesitant at first, but then became more confident as he turned my face from side to side.

"When Edward left, I went into a depression. I stopped talking to my friends, threw out my CD's and books, stopped working at Newton's and sat in front of my bedroom window, staring into space. I had horrible nightmares and would wake up screaming. I was a shell and no matter how much I tried to seem okay, everyone knew that I wasn't," I explained.

I sighed, "I came into the possession of two motorcycles and took them to my last friend, Jacob, who is a mechanic. I stayed with him in his garage every day and helped a little in the repair. I wanted to learn how to ride, because I had noticed that when I did crazy things, dangerous things, Edward's voice would appear and tell me to stop and go back. I was planning on going cliff diving when I was done learning how to ride the motorcycle, but unfortunately there was an accident and I hit my head. When I woke up in the hospital, I could see, but all of my other senses were immaculate. The doctors were even shocked. Charlie is okay with leaving me alone for hours at a time, because I seem to know where everything is, even though I can't see."

Jasper was running his fingers through my hair as I talked. "Aren't you scared, bein' alone so much? Someone could come and take you and you wouldn't know," he whispered.

I actually laughed. It was sweet that he was so worried, but he didn't need to be, I was okay. I grabbed the hand still on my face and held it between my palms.

"Actually, I would know. I can't explain it, but I can hear everything much better and I can smell when it's going to rain. I also seem to know where I'm going and even though I can't see, I've never tripped or bumped into anything. The doctors said that my senses are advanced," I told him, gently running my fingers over his palm.

There was an exhalation and Jasper moved closer to me. "I'm so sorry Bella," he apologized.

"It's okay Jasper, it wasn't your fault. I chose to ride the bike, it had nothing to do with you."

"But if I hadn't lost control, Edward would still be here with you and you would've never gotten hurt in the first place!" he said, sounding so down.

"Jasper, you were new to that kind of life. I never expected you to be perfect at it, I don't blame you one bit. Edward told me that he didn't want me and that the family didn't want me, so you had nothing to do with that. He left me in the middle of the woods, you weren't behind that either. Edward was the cause of my pain, not you Jasper. I never once placed the blame on you, so don't be so hard on yourself," I said, patting his shoulder.

There was a guttural growl, "He told you what?!"

Jasper was angry and confused if I'm correct. "That you guys didn't want me as part of your family and that he didn't love me and he never did."

"He lied!" Jasper snarled.

"About what Jazz?" I asked, keeping his hand in mine, rubbing soothing circles on his palm.

"We all cared about you very much Bella. Rosalie had respect for you, but not pure hatred like you thought. Edward lied to you Bella, no one ever said that they didn't want you as part of the family," he told me.

He lied? Why would he do that though?

"I can feel your confusion and I'll tell you why Edward was so adamant on gettin' the family away from you. It turns out that he and Alice, are mates."

I was gaping, I knew that much. How was that possible?! "I thought she was your mate," I stated, trying to get my brain to work again.

"I had thought so as well. She was always happy and cheerful and all I ever felt from her was love and admiration. But then, she and Edward were caught by Rose. She's particularly good at shieldin' her mind from Edwards gift and not getting caught in Alice's visions, so she got away without any confrontation. She found me first and then told Carlisle, who took the reigns and confronted the two. Esme, Rose and Em stayed with me as I trashed the forest."

I felt a pang of pity for Jasper. He had been through so much. Alice and Edward had played everyone for fools. How long had they been together? Even while I was with Edward? A wave of disgust overcame me and I sneered, dirty bastard.

"See, it isn't your fault Jasper. If you had never reacted to my blood then Edward would still be here and he and Alice would still be tricking us. In the end, it did some good. Though I'm not happy about the situation," I sighed.

"I'm sorry about him Bella, I wish I could've caught it sooner," Jasper said, wrapping an around around my shoulders.

I was hurt, that the person I was convinced I loved had hurt me so much, and confused, that the person I was always told wasn't good to be around, was being so supportive and kind. When did my life turn into one big soap opera?

I hung my head, would I ever get a break.

A few moments passed in silence as Jasper let me alone to my thoughts.

I opened my mouth to ask him something, when it happened.

The pain. The same burning agony running through my body. It was there again, only much worse than the last time.

"Bella?!"

Jasper's voice barely registered through the pain. I clutched at my chest , the pain was so unbearable.

"Bella?! Bella!"
