Jasper's Point of View

It felt like my duty to tell Bella what I'd seen. It wasn't that I was going to tell her out of revenge against Edward, I just felt she ought to know what kind of man she was with. He said that he would always be faithful to her, always love her. She deserved someone much better than the lying rat she had.

I knocked on her truck window and then quickly hopped in. She was only going a measly thirty miles an hour. She wasn't surprised, all the Cullens had lept into her truck at one time or another. But when she looked over and saw it was me, her heart rate accelerated a bit, her breathing kicked up a notch. The smell in the cab was almost unbearably sweet. I understood why Edward was always raving about how wonderful her scent was, he was right.

"I won't hurt you, Bella," I said, dropping my head. I was determined never to hurt her. Edward was harming her enough for the both of us. I sighed. She had just started trusting me and then I go and eat a human.

"Why are you here?" she asked, her voice shaking. Did she really think that I would bite her?

I paused. How was I supposed to tell her that the love of her life was with another woman. Especially when the other woman was her best friend.

She sensed there was something wrong.

"What is it, Jasper?" She pulled over to the side of the road and turned to face me.

"It's about Edward," I started. She tensed up. She knew by the way I said it that something bad was coming. "After you left I went around to all the rooms to, you know, get a last look at everyone."

She nodded, I paused again.

"And," she urged.

I took a deep breath, "I saw Edward and Alice together."

She laughed. "Of course they're together! They're almost inseparable!"

I frowned. She had misunderstood. "That's not what I meant, Bella. They were kissing and touching. Frankly, I'm glad I left before…" I shuddered. It really was a low blow for both Edward and Alice to do that to poor Bella.

Her face went blank.

"Oh," she breathed. She slumped over so her head rested on the steering wheel. The atmosphere changed at once, going from relief to a sadness so deep you could get lost in it. She was sobbing.
