*Calliope's POV*
It's the day after Bella and Edward's wedding. I had made my decision, today I will tell Jasper I forgive him. As I got ready for today I couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Charlie left early this morning saying he's going fishing with Billy Black. Just as I came downstairs after brushing my teeth there is a knock on the door. Much to my surprise when I open the door Alice is standing on the other side.
"You look beautiful Callie!" She exclaims.
"Um thanks, Alice, what are you doing here?"
She grins, "Giving you a ride to yours and Jasper's field of course! Jasper is waiting there for you. Don't worry I didn't tell him what you're going to say just that you want to talk." She explains as if it were obvious.
I stare at her for a minute completely confused until it dawns on me, "You had a vision."
She nods, "yep now let's go!"
I follow her out the door, locking the door behind me. The car ride to the field is silent except the music playing on the radio. Alice practically shoves me out of the car when we arrive.
"I'll see you later Callie!" She chirps before driving off.
I shake my head and start walking. When I get to the field Jasper is standing there waiting for me. He looks hesitant as I walk up and stand in front of him.
"Hey Jasper," I rub my arm nervously.
"Calliope," he replies.
I take a deep breath before beginning my speech, "It was the first time I saw you. I had never seen anything so perfect. I remember thinking that I had to have you or I'd die. Then you whispered that you loved me and I felt so peaceful.
I'm in love with you okay? If you're looking for the word that means caring about someone beyond all rationality and wanting them to have everything they want no matter how much it destroys you, it's love. And when you love someone, you just, you, you don't stop. Ever. Even when people roll their eyes or call you crazy, even then. Especially then.
You just, you don't give up because if I could give up, if I could just, you know, take the whole world's advice and move on and find someone else, that wouldn't be love. That would be, that would be some other disposable thing that is not worth fighting for. But I....that is not what this is.
Because dammit I love you and you are worth fighting for. I love you and I have been trying not to say it. I am so in love with you. I can't think about anything or anybody and I can't sleep and I can't breathe and I love you. I just love you all the time. Being with you is like going to a place I've never been to before. And for the first time, everything seems clear to me.
It feels like you and I were the greatest plan ever made and I had nothing to do with it. And that for once in my life I won't have to work so hard at being happy. Being with you made me feel that. Maybe I don't have to keep planning anymore because it felt like I was actually living! I love you. I just really love you. I love you so much.
You're like a beacon of light guiding me through the darkness. You're like this big gold star and for some bizarre reason, you chose to let me love you. I feel like if I can just convince you to let me keep doing that, I'm going to be okay. Everything is going to be okay. It's a promise. A promise to keep loving you for the rest of my life.
I'm tired of being without you. Yes, you left me and it hurt. It hurt so fucking much but I forgive you. I understand that you thought you were protecting me. I want you back, I miss you. But I swear to god if you ever hurt me like that again I'll never forgive you."
Jasper stared at me for a moment, neither of us said a word. Suddenly he pulls me close and kissed me. It was magic, his lips connected with mine. It was right, and somehow, among all of the dizziness and the clinging to him like a lifeline, something inside me changed, never to be reversed.
This new feeling could be dwelled upon later, because, for now, I am content to feel his breath come and go with mine. His lips pressed tightly against mine, too forced as if he expected this kiss to be our last and wanted to savor it for eternity. Kissing him again felt like all the pieces of my soul were put back together again. Everything made sense. It's like coming home after a long journey. When he pulled back from the kiss our foreheads rested against each other.
"I love you too darlin'. I never stopped loving you and I never will. You're my soulmate, my other half, my everything. It was stupid of me to leave and by god, I will never ever do it again. I learned the hard way that I simply can not live without you. So if you'll have me, I want us to be together again. I don't want to ever be without you. I love you so very much Calliope Juliet Swan."
I smiled, the first real smile in a long time. "I love you too Jasper Whitlock Hale Cullen."
"Always."
"Always."
With that said our lips connected and we shared another mind-blowing kiss. The rest of the day we spent mostly in that field cuddling and sharing kisses. Eventually din, ner time rolled around and he brought me back to the Cullen's where Esme waited with a meal prepared.
Spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread and a salad. When I finished eating Alice brought me a bag she had packed for sleeping over here. Jasper helped me get dressed into pajamas before carrying me down stairs and letting me pick a movie. I decided to pick my favorite movie Monsters Inc. When the movie ended Jasper carried me up to my room and read me a bedtime story, 'Sleeping Beauty.' As Jasper tucked me into bed I gazed up at him with a crooked smile.
"I love you."
"I love you too princess, goodnight." He kissed my forehead.
"Night, night daddy."
