Author’s Note: This is my third fanfiction, and it’s an idea most people wouldn’t put up, and everybody should know that I’m a HUGE Bella and Edward fan… but this is a JxB and BxJ story, so no flames please. This idea just popped up in my head at 1 am this morning. And also, I’m going to be switching point of views every so often, so… don’t be confused.

Revision Note: I did this because I had one response to chapter 22, and it appeared that she would love to have me revise it... So I agreed. For this one chapter. If I am met with resistance or anger... well then... I suppose I'll just stop. Lol. As for the changes made to this lovely introductory chapter: I have added more detail into this, revising it because I should’ve known Bella would still be angry at Edward for being an idiot and leaving her. That's about it. I hope that you guys love the revision, because if you don’t… well… idk what I’ll do. :P

Enjoy!

I quietly watched Jasper from across the cafeteria as he talked animatedly to Rosalie, my eyes unable to pull away. Alice was fawning all over Edward, which I tried to block out of my vision, considering I was still very angry with him... There had been a change in the group… Alice had become Edward’s girlfriend when he had come back, leaving me for dead, leaving me as though I had never meant anything to him… leaving me like I was just… just another girl… and leaving the beautiful blond Jasper free. I still hadn’t forgiven Edward, on any level whatsoever, and we weren’t even close to be on speaking terms. That was the main reason that I refused to go over and sit with them. But then Jasper glanced up at me, eyes sparkling and… questioning?

I immediately silenced the lustful feelings that were rolling in waves off of me, pulsating in time with my heartbeat… I couldn’t help feeling like that when I looked at Jasper. Before all of this… before Edward left… I had never taken much notice of Jasper. He and Alice were absolutely inseperable, and I just assumed ‘No fantasizing about your to-be-sister’s husband of who-knows-how-many years’. But now… now that he was free… It was just a lot easier to notice all the things that were amazing about him that Edward never had. His soft blond hair… how it outshined Edward’s… I never thought it was possible. But Jasper made it true… The way that he could feel what I was feeling and… maybe?... show empathy, unlike Edward, who knew nothing of how I worked inside… who knew nothing of what made me tick. Jasper would understand everything Edward had to ask about, without even trying.

The blond vampire motioned for me to come over to sit next to him and I felt my heart flutter. He smiled. My heart skipped a beat. Picking up my tray of food, which I hadn’t touched once, I strode across the cafeteria, drawing looks from nobody. I sat down next to Jasper and smiled. I was going to have to keep all of my feelings in check on top of breathing and heart rate?… I was so screwed... And loving every second of it.

He smiled a dazzling smile at me, and I almost lost all control and kissed him there and then… but I repressed my urges and resolved to join the conversation, and although I was saying something else, my mind was in a thousand directions. Thank god Edward wasn’t able to read my thoughts… because I don’t know how he would react if I fell in love with one of his brothers… especially Jasper for that matter, because Jasper had been the one that had attacked me at my birthday party… but that I think was when I fell in love with him, his blond hair was absolutely wild, and his eyes a jet black that scared me, but also consoled me, considering the fact that if anybody ever wanted to hurt me, those eyes would turn to the enemy… I knew that he could protect me. He was much more capable than anybody else. More than any other vampire… other than Jane, that is. But she wasn’t exactly bodyguard material.

Jasper had really gotten over Alice quickly, and I was quite surprised… even though Jasper had always had total control over every single one of his feelings. That’s what I thought until I smiled as sweetly as I could at him… and the waves of desire and lust emanating from him almost knocked me onto the floor. I barely was able to stop myself from kissing him in front of his entire family, and I scrunched my face up in concentration. I heard Edward chuckle darkly and Alice giggle maliciously behind me but I ignored them, and then looked back at Jasper, planting on a fake scowl. He smiled sheepishly at me and shrugged, not saying anything. I rolled my eyes reluctantly, letting it go for now… but I’d get to the bottom of that little slip. I struck up a conversation with Rosalie about designer clothes in the mean-time, and out of the corner of my eye I saw my blond-haired beauty talking in hushed tones to Emmett, whose eyes widened every so often.

“So Louis Vuitton came out with an entire new line of summer clothes,” Rosalie said and I just nodded along, paying more attention to the boys. Emmett was replying, speaking faster than I had ever seen anybody speak. I could barely hear a whisper… they were probably talking so that only each other could hear. But I could tell there was urgency in Emmett’s eyes. Occasionally I put my two cents into my ‘conversation’ when needed, keeping Rosalie talking unendingly about fashions and designer clothes. We had gotten closer since the Cullen’s came back, and me and Alice had become even more attached, ironically, because I could barely stand her boyfriend. I just sat there, watching Jasper mutter quietly back to Emmett. He was more beautiful than Edward… how hadn’t I noticed before? His almost beach blond hair in messy disarray, much like Edward’s, although his haircut was a bit longer. I sighed sadly and rested my head on my hand and my elbow on the table. Rosalie finally noticed what I was doing.

“Lusting after Jasper?” she whispered to me, leaning over the table. I blushed and shook my head once, denying it. She smiled and I could tell that she was repressing a giggle. I don’t think she believed me. I sighed again, somewhat angrily this time, and resumed watching his face scrunch up in concentration as he talked to Emmett, as though he were trying to figure out a very long math problem. “I could ask him if you want…” I heard her whisper again. In less than a second, my head snapped in her direction, and I fixed her with the most lethal glare that I could manage. She immediately leaned back from me, hands in the air.

Jasper would find out my feelings on his own eventually. Whether he would return them or not was a mystery… Regardless, he either knew I was watching him or he was done his conversation because he turned to me with the most heartbreaking smile on his face. It was even more amazing, more dazzling, and more breathtaking than Edward’s crooked smile. I realized that I hadn’t breathed for quite a while… staring at Jasper took the breath out of me, so I sucked in some air, trying to nourish my deprived lungs with oxygen. Jasper waved a hand deliberately in front of my face and raised a curious eyebrow. I smiled at him again, sheepishly this time, and it was his turn to inhale sharply. I felt a single wave of lust roll off him… or was it me? Either way I quickly suppressed the feeling, burying it for who knows how long it would be… for who knows how deep... Then lunch was over.

I rushed out of the room faster than I normally would, eager to get to my next class and away from the blond teenage vampire who made my emotions go haywire.

I checked my schedule at my locker, eagerly scanning the paper for block 4… and I groaned… I had calculus with Jasper in room 34. I gathered my books and rushed off reluctantly, eager, but not eager, to get to Mrs. Lissbaum’s class and the beautiful vampire that I hadn’t taken much notice of before.

Author’s Note: How did I do? And for all of you Jasper xB, BxJasper haters, don’t flame me, I’m a HUGE fan of Bella and Edward too. R&R as always. I don’t have names for the chapters though, too lazy to think up some. Thanks!

Revision Note: Ahhh… that chapter feels a lot cleaner now, with the detail, and the clarified anger towards Edward. I feel a lot better. Even though it’s six in the morning and I’m typing this as quietly as I can so as not to wake up my family with the constant “tap tap tap” of the keyboard. Lol. But yes. I hope that you enjoy the first revised chapter of the story… please review and tell me what you think.

Your loving author,
