Hey so I'm back :D This little brain child came to me last night and I couldn't type fast enough. I'm actually proud of this one, unlike my other stuff so I would love for you to tell me whacha think. One shot though, not gonna continue it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. If I did, I would keep Jasper locked in my closet so I could have him all to myself :D
I was just another girl, another blank face in a yearbook, a nobody you passed in the halls. I know you didn't care about me and that's fine; that's exactly why I stand here, on this cliff, ready to end my miserable existence on this earth.
After he left me, I was nothing but a shell; a jelly donut who had the jelly sucked clean out of her. Bad analogy considering what the Cullens were, but it's truly how I felt. I rarely ate anymore, too afraid to sleep, too… done with life in general. Charlie was worried, as was his right, but I stopped caring the moment that coward left me to die in the woods. "In return I'll make a promise to you" the ghosting of his sultry voice echoed in my mind once again, "When I leave, I won't come back" A single tear ran down my cheek, "It will be as if I never existed"
Those eight words rung in my ears; they stung. I tried to contain the scream that had been bottled up inside me for so long, but as I stood here, looking over this cliff, looking down at the ocean below, I couldn't care less who heard me. As the blood-curdling screech ripped through my throat, fresh tears streaming down my cheeks, I finally felt at peace. I was not the foolish lamb ensnared in the lion's den, nor the pathetic pet left behind; I was a mere mortal caught in the crossfires of something much more than my mind could handle. And that's why I had the courage to do what I did. In the next second, I jumped. I wanted my last memory to be one of peace, not regret or sorrow or the guilt that would come by overthinking my plan.
I felt free in those four seconds, fresh happy tears coming from my eyes. It was finally going to end. The months of pain and sorrow would be gone and I would be but a distant memory in everyone's minds soon enough. Or so I'd thought.
About halfway through my free-fall, I collided with something incredibly hard as stone and cold as ice. Having closed my eyes when I jumped, I didn't have a chance to see what I'd hit before I, or we, crashed into the frigid water. Gasping for air and sputtering, I was pulled to shore by a man whom I recognized as soon as I saw his honey blond locks. Upon seeing his face, however, the Jasper I knew was not present. His eyes were black, his clothes disheveled and overall he just looked frazzled.
I'm sure my whirlwind of emotions was not helping the situation any, but I couldn't help it. As I watched him pace back and forth in front of me, I couldn't help but feel somewhat relieved. One would think that anger would be an appropriate emotion for someone whose suicidal plot had just been thwarted, but I never was a normal human. No, I was relieved because someone knew I existed and cared enough about me to keep me alive; that's all I'd ever wanted really. The whole suicide plot was a way out, for everyone; I was just going to quietly exit everyone's lives, permanently. Seemed simple enough. Upon looking into the cold, onyx eyes of my savior, however, I quickly realized how foolish I was. "Isabella" he spoke quietly, voice strained, "Why would you ever do something so selfish?"
Blinking back tears, I was quick bound into his arms; I had never seen him look so hurt or vulnerable. I was about to speak when he spoke once more. "You are important in this world and goddammit you are loved" he embraced me fully, cradling me to his chest as he whispered a message he'd once given me "You are worth it."
Reviews make me smile :D Cough cough hint hint
