Author's note: I am not Stephenie Meyer, thus I do not own Twilight. This was a spur of the moment thing, since I love the format and decided that I needed a Twilight story. Hope you like it! (For all you Harry Potter people, I have one planned for that too :).
Dearly
Beloved
Kyra
1. Rain
It was raining when he first saw her, and the
rain had never made anything more beautiful than it did her in
that first moment.
2. Coffee
The others in the café drank coffee as
they talked; he drank her beauty and prayed that this wasn't
just a dream.
3. Promise
"I'll always be with you," she whispered,
and he felt safe for the first time in a very long time.
4. Love
They'd never said it, but they didn't need
to: some things were deeper than words, and some things were
ruined by them; neither one of them wanted to take the chance.
5. Warmth
It had been almost one hundred years since he'd
felt warmth, but, as she led him out into the misty air, he felt
the warmth begin to seep slowly back into his soul.
The two of them stood in front of their new family, hoping that they would be accepted.
7. Hug
Esme stepped up and gave him a hug, and he knew
that it would be all right.
8. Rules
It was hard for him to follow the rules at
first – he wasn't used to self-control, and it was harder for
him than any of the others – but she wouldn't let him quit,
and it finally started getting easier.
9. Brothers
He'd never had a brother, and here he was
with two: the feeling was like nothing he'd ever experienced
before.
10. Move
They had to move on: they'd been there for
too long; he knew they had to leave, yet he couldn't help
looking back one last time, knowing that the little house in
Liverpool would always be his home.
They so rarely got to see each other in the sun that, whenever they did, it was always especially precious.
12. Rainbow
"You look like a rainbow," she whispered as
she kissed him. "A rainbow with a pot of gold at the end."
13. Drive
They both liked to drive fast, and that was a
good thing: with the amount Edward spent on cars for them, it
would be blasphemy not to use them as much as they could.
14. Seasons
He loved watching the seasons change: something
about the constant rhythm of the change reminded him that he was
not the only thing that would always be there.
15. Raking
They were supposed to be raking leaves,
but she had decided that the pile was big enough, and he'd
pulled her in, and they'd suddenly discovered that no one could
see them…
16. Crush
Edward told them that it was just a crush, but
Alice just looked at him and grinned.
17. Bet
"I never bet against Alice," Jasper told
his brother, lacing his hands through hers and pulling her onto
his lap.
18. Victory
Her smile was triumphant on the first day
Edward brought Bella home, and Jasper knew she was celebrating the
sweetness of victory.
19. Truth
He knew, long before Edward did, what would
happen to Bella, and he couldn't look at the girl without
picturing her as one of them.
20. Apple
The fruit of lust and truth; the temptation
offered by Eve to Adam; his favorite fruit as a human; the color
of her eyes right after she'd fed.
The thirst hurt him so much, he didn't know if he would be able to resist much longer.
22. Blood
Her blood called to him so much, he knew he
wouldn't be able to resist; he gave in to his instincts and
prayed that Alice would forgive him.
23. Remorse
He ran as far and as fast as he could, hating
what he was and what he had done and knowing that they would all
be better off without him.
24. Argument
She wouldn't let him leave, wouldn't let
him run away no matter how much he wanted to, wouldn't let him
be anywhere but right there with her.
25. Tears
He hadn't been able to cry in over a century,
but, if he could, he would be sobbing into her arms and wishing
everything would just go away.
26. Black
His eyes were black as pitch and the thirst
raged in his body, but he couldn't bring himself to hunt,
couldn't make himself hurt anything else.
27. Simplicity
It was the simpleness of the gesture that did
it, the simple gift she gave him that broke him and made him feel
like he was once more worthy of her love.
28. Child
The little girl played in the park, oblivious
to the danger, yet, as he watched her, he knew he would rather die
a hundred times over than harm another human.
29. Television
It was a stupid show, one that he didn't even
like, but it made Alice laugh, and so he suffered through it for
her sake, finding joy in her excitement.
30. Gift
It was only when he saw the light in her eyes
as she accepted the small box he'd gotten her for their
anniversary that he knew he was truly forgiven.
31. Split
The family was split, Edward's heart was
cracked, and Bella would never be whole again, but Jasper knew
that he and Alice could never be apart.
32. Flight
They'd run away from Forks, and then away
from Alaska, and now they were on their own, just the two of them,
determined not to let anything come between them.
33. Hotel
A smile from Alice and a slight calming wave
from Jasper had gotten them a hotel room for the night, and they
lay in the bed together, knowing nothing but that they were with
each other.
34. Dollar
"It's just ten dollars," she said as she
smiled at the performer on the street and tosses it into his
guitar case, but Jasper knew that it is more than the man got in a
day, some of the time.
35. Change
He watched as she pulled off the blue dress and
pulled on a pair of jeans, marveling at how perfect she was.
36. Italy
He knew she was gone, and he knew that she
hadn't told him the while truth, but he could only hope that she
knew what she was doing and would be back as soon as she could.
37. Anger
All the anger he felt at Edward for taking
Alice off to Italy melted away when his brother walked into the
house, and instead of shouting, Jasper reached over and gave
Edward a hug.
38. Home
No matter where they lived, Jasper would always
feel at home when Alice's arms were around him at night.
39. Swim
He didn't like water, but she'd convinced
him to come swimming with her, and it was worth embarrassing
himself to see the water droplets on her diamond-encrusted body,
throwing off rainbows whenever she moved.
40. Feed
They hunted together, and he knew, as they
drank from the same deer, that no human could possibly come close
to this level of intimacy and love.
Someone was killing people in Seattle, and Jasper was more and more certain that he'd solved the mystery.
42. Past
Retelling the story of his past was painful,
but Alice was there to give him strength and he managed to say it
all without faltering or turning away from Bella's bright brown
eyes.
43. Plan
It wasn't much of a plan, but it was all they
had, and Jasper was determined to stick to it, werewolves or no
werewolves.
44. Fight
Alice rolled her eyes at him when she realized
he wasn't letting her fight, but it was worth it to him not to
see her in any danger: he wasn't sure he could stand the pain of
losing her.
45. Justice
The Volturi idea of justice was as cruel as any
Jasper had ever given out, and he held Alice close as they
disposed to the poor newborn.
It was a beautiful wedding, with bells and bouquets and everything one could wish for, but Jasper only had eyes for the bridesmaid.
47. Stars
They lay out in the grass, looking up at the
stars, not speaking, knowing that what they felt for each other
went beyond any words.
48. Dance
They danced slowly, hearing music in their own
minds, and twirling in the grass to the tune of true love.
49. Kiss
Her kiss was light and sweet, and he responded
in kind, knowing that this moment was perfect and wishing it would
never end.
50. Half
"You're my other half," he whispered, and
she smiled, drawing him closer to her and touching his cheek,
telling him without words that she felt the same way.
