Chapter 12 – Sad But True
BPOV
Tuesday
I was lying
on my bed, curled up in a ball. I noticed that I was alone and the last I
remember was Rose holding me as I cried. I can't believe what I've done. I
asked Jasper to leave, the best thing that ever happened to me and I destroyed
it. The pain in my heart was all encompassing. I just wanted the ache to stop;
death would be welcome at this point. I never told him that I loved him. The
fact that I fell in love with him, just about at first sight, was crazy in
itself. That shit only happened in the movies. I'm glad I didn't tell him,
because now he is free and I can't poison his life. I just wanted the darkness
to envelop me and I never wanted to surface.
In the
distance I heard a knock on my door.
"Bella,
you need to eat. I brought you a late lunch," Rose said.
So, it
must be sometime in the afternoon. It feels like I have not moved a muscle in
decades. I drifted back off.
I heard
footsteps.
"Bella,
you need to get up," Emmett said.
"Bella,
please eat something. At least take a shower,'" Rose pleaded.
I just lay
there. I think they were talking back and forth in a hushed tone, but I'm not
sure. When I didn't respond, they eventually left.
Wednesday
I woke up
to Rose shaking me and whispering my name.
"Bella,
please wake up."
I wanted
to respond, but I didn't have the strength.
"I
brought you some breakfast and coffee. Please Bella," Rose pleaded again.
With that
she was gone and I was left with my pain. I closed my eyes and just drifted.
I awoke
and looked around. I was so thirsty. I slowly sat up in my bed and tried to
focus on the clock. It was two in the afternoon. I slowly got up and walked to
my bathroom; I got a drink of water and looked at myself in the mirror. I was
truly a mess and I looked like hell, so I decided to take a shower. I turned on
the hot water and stripped. I stepped under the spray and the water felt
wonderful hitting my skin.
I quickly
dressed in a pair of sweats and a tank top. I pulled my wet hair into a low
ponytail. I looked at the tray of food that Rose brought up. A bagel, some
mixed fruit, and a cup of coffee. I just had no appetite, and who wants to
drink cold coffee?
I walked
over to the wet bar and poured myself a glass of Jack. I knew it would numb my
pain. Jack and I go way back. He became my friend toward the end of my marriage
to Edward. I brought the glass to my lips to take a sip and ended up downing
the glass. The warmth that filled my body felt good. I poured myself another
glass as a memory of Jasper flashed through my head.
"Do
you trust me?" he asked.
"Yes,"
I squeaked out.
He bent
down and kissed my breast, then brought my nipple into my mouth; I arched my
back and let out a moan.
"I
love your breasts, Bella," he said in between nibbling and sucking on
them.
He ran
his hand down my body and across the waistband of the last piece of clothing
that was keeping me from him. "Off," he said and he quickly removed
them.
"You
have way too much clothing on, cowboy," I said.
"All
in good time darlin'. Right now, it's all about me wanting to give you
pleasure."
He took
an ice cube out of his glass of Jack and slowly ran it between my breast and
down my stomach. I moaned as he swirled the ice cube around my belly button and
let it melt. He leaned down and let his tongue take the same path as the ice
did."
"Jasper...please,"
I moaned.
"Please
what, darlin'?" He asked as he licked just above my core.
"Stop
teasing me, I can't take much more," I panted.
"Your
body smells so good Bella,"
His
mouth finally was where I longed it to be. His tongue licked and flicked my
clit, making me arch into his mouth. He slid his tongue into me, causing me to
scream his name.
"Jasper!"
I shook my
head after I downed my second glass. I cried as the memories broke what was
left of my heart. I was shocked that I had any tears left to shed. I poured
myself another glass and finally I could feel the numbness set in, with the
fourth glass all pain was gone, and I fell back into the darkness.
"Bella...Bella...Bella."
I could
feel someone shaking me and saying my name.
"Bella,
wake up!"
It was
Rose. Why was she shouting?
"What?"
I managed to get out.
"Oh
my god, you're okay. You were passed out cold."
"I
still would be if you would have left me alone," I moaned.
"You
need to eat. I brought you soup and crackers. Please, eat."
"Fine,
leave it," I snapped.
God my
head hurt, I turned over and fell back asleep.
I woke up
to find it dark in my room. My head still hurts. I focused on the clock; it was
ten at night. Shit, what the hell day is it? I got up and noticed the
tray of food. Soup and crackers. I ate a few crackers and drank the broth in
the chicken soup along with some noodles. I walked over to my bar and picked up
the bottle of Jack and poured a glass. Fuck, how did my life get so out of
control? I downed the glass. Edward and Charlie, that's how. I truly hated
Edward Cullen and cursed the day I met him, and as for Charlie, I despised him.
I poured another glass and downed it. I lost Jasper because of them, my blood
started to boil, my anger took over and I started throwing anything within my
reach.
My little
tantrum lasted only a few minutes. I poured myself another glass and crawled
into bed. I closed my eyes. I didn't want to think or feel. I just wanted to
die.
