Dancing Elements (Jasper Hale Love Story)

I am sorry

For two weeks it was touch and go for Ashley. Her heart had stopped three times, luckily each time Carlisle was able to set it going again. The past few days Carlisle has been happy with her progress and she is now happy. Saying that her chances have gone from 20% to 80% now. He also expected her to wake up within the next few days to come.

No one has heard from or about Jasper. He just vanished and never called or wrote. Emmet and Rose had been looking for any information on his were about, but they cannot find anything. Everyone was getting worried about him. When Edward left he always check in with them. Each month saying where he was. But with Jasper, it was silent.

Carlisle and Esme had decided that they would tell Ashley that he was killed while fighting the Vampires. They would tell her when she was conscious and aware for the things around her. They knew it would break her heart, she loved Jasper. They would even go as far and say they were mates. They were made for each other.

Ashley's wounds were healing, Her ribs no longer broken and her wrist was almost healed. The bite mark had healed but it would leave a noticeable scar. It will never fade, reminding her of the memories. Two days later, Carlisle was sitting in a chair next to Ashley. They had all been taking turns of sitting and watching her, while the others went out to hunt. Also too look for the two red eyes that managed to escape. They knew they would come back so they cannot leave Ashley alone. Today it was Carlisle turn.

He reached over and took a hold of Ashley's hand. His cold hand could feel the warmth of hers. He sighed and shuffled around in his seat. His golden eyes looked to Ashley, Ashley looked as though she was sleeping. 

" I am sorry about this." He said. In a way he felt guilty. As soon as she arrived here, they should have left. Carlisle should have taken his family and moved from Forks. But he never, if he had Ashley might not have had to go through all that she had. Just then her hand moved, it was only a tiny bit. But it was still movement. Carlisle looked back to her face and saw her eyes twitching. He smiled gently and stood up. He looked down at her face.

" Come on." He said to her. Urging her to open her eyes. He looked at the heart monitor and then the IV drips. Ashley managed to open her eyes only slightly. She let out a soft moan. She looked to see Carlisle looking at the IV drips.

" Welcome Back." He said as he turned around and looked at her. His golden eyes showing relief.

" What happened?" She asked as her eyes began to open more, looking around her.

" You were attacked and bitten. You lost a lot of blood and for a while it was touch and go." He informed her. Memories flooded back to her of the events before she passed out. She remember Jasper and how his face looked at her passed out. She looked instantly around the room and then to Carlisle.

" Jasper? Where is he?" She asked with urgency. Carlisle was about to speak when Esme arrived in the room. She smiled as she looked at Ashley.

" Hey." She said taking Ashley's hand. Carlisle moved the bed so that she was sitting up. She handed her a glass of water, which she gladly accepted. She licked her lips giving them moisture. Carlisle and Esme took a seat next to her bed.

" Jasper?" Was all she said looking to the couple for answers. Esme looked to Carlisle with a sad look. Carlisle nodded to her.

" I am sorry." She said. Ashley looked at them and started to blink rapidly. Tears formed in them. They fell rapidly from her eyes. She never made a sound. Esme stood up and sat on her bed. She instantly pulled her into a hug. She looked to Carlisle and nodded. He stood up and left the room.

" Let it out sweet heart." Esme whispered to her. Ashley them wrapped her arms around Esme and held as tight as she could. Just then Ashley broke down. She screamed as she felt like her heart was torn apart. Esme just sat there allowing Ashley to pour it all out.
