CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
PACKING THE BAGS

    JASPER had stepped outside to think about what he'd done. Alice had repeatedly told him that it wasn't his fault, so had Edward, but Jasper wouldn't listen. It was his fault, he nearly attacked Bella because he couldn't control himself.

Jasper sat on the steps with his shoulder leaning on Alice, who comforted him to the best of his ability.

Emmett and Thea sat on the balcony railing, also being there to reassure Jasper that what he'd done was nothing to be ashamed of.

Rosalie stood silently next to Emmett.

Esme and Carlisle are standing inside having a conversation about the situation just as Edward comes back inside the home. His face was covered in guilt and stress, he slightly undid the tie on his suit. He stood silent for a moment, "we should leave." He breaks the tension.

This caught the attention of his siblings outside. Alice was the first to step up, "what?" She steps inside, and Jasper only falls further into his guilt, staying on the steps.

"It's dangerous," Edward admits just as Emmett, Thea, and Rosalie come inside. He looks over to Thea, "You were right. Bella doesn't belong in our world. She's human...she will always be human and it'll never work. She'll never be safe."

Thea loved to hear the fact Edward admitted she was right but now didn't seem like the time to relish on that statement. "Edward..." she only sighs.

Rosalie scoffs, "If you would've just left her alone when she got here, we wouldn't have to do this." She crosses her arms.

"I know." Edward snapped, seeming more guilty of himself.

Carlisle stuffs his hands in his pockets, "Let's just...take the rest of the night to think about this, okay? If you still feel the same way by tomorrow...we'll leave."

Edward just shakes his head, moving towards the stairs as he takes off his tie, "I won't feel differently tomorrow."

Emmett places a hand on Rosalie's back, leading them towards their room. The rest of the Cullens split up with their significant other.

Thea looks towards Alice, they share a pity expression before looking towards Jasper. Their pity only grew more.

"How about you spend the night keeping Jasper company." Thea sighs, moving towards her wife.

Alice frowns, "are you sure?"

Of course, Thea wanted to keep her mate in her arms, but keeping her all to herself tonight only felt wrong, "Jasper doesn't have anyone but he has you. You're his best friend, so if anyone can pull him out of this state. It's you, baby." Thea caresses Alice's cheek.
