Spoilers: All the way up to the very end of Eclipse.
Summary: Jacob’s in terrible pain... And Jasper feels it.
Disclaimer: It all belongs to Ms. Meyer. I simply covet.
Notes: My very first Twilight fic!! XD I just finished re-reading Eclipse and I was just aching for poor Jacob and so... This happened. I intended it to be from Jacob’s POV as well, but Jasper just sort of cut in and demanded all the attention. Beta'd by my one true love (next to Dean, Edward, Jacob, etc.) papered. ♥ Written for twilight20 prompt Heartbreak.
"PAIN (WITHOUT LOVE)"
Jacob Black was in pain. Gut-wrenching, heart-breaking pain.
Jasper could feel it- feel him- even from this distance.
Jacob was running through woods, quickly phasing into his wolf form. Jasper felt his pain through the rest of the pack, as they tried to run after him. But their leader called them off, and he could feel the agony the pack was going through not being able to run after their brother, not being able to comfort him.
Jasper slid to his knees, a small whimper escaping his lips. Alice was at his side in an instant.
"Jasper? What is it?" Her tone was frightened. Of course she couldn't have seen this coming. It was the wolves. "Jasper, please..."
He looked up at her. "Jacob," he managed to breathe through clenched teeth. "He... hurts. A lot." Jasper looked down, growling, trying to find a way to release the pent up emotions.
Alice stroked his hair. "What can I do?" she whispered.
Jasper shook his head. "Nothing." His voice was dull, dead. "There's nothing you can do, Alice." He felt a new wave of pain, this time from Alice. He moaned feebly.
"Jasper?" Edward was suddenly there, a hand on Jasper's shoulder. "Is there anything that can be done?"
Jasper looked up at him and a snarl escaped his lips as he was overcome with rage. "You," he said, his voice vile. He jerked away from Edward's hand.
Alice was confused now- he could feel it somewhere in the background. "Jasper, what's the matter with you? It's Edward."
Jasper clenched his hands into fists. Oh, yes, Edward. Everyone loved Edward, didn't they? Kind, noble, decent Edward. Jasper snarled again.
"Don't worry Alice, he's fine," Edward's voice was calm as he took a step back. "He's just channelling Jacob Black's anger towards me. He received the invitation this afternoon."
"Oh." Alice's voice was soft, she continued to stroke Jasper's hair. "Then maybe...?"
Edward frowned. "I don't know, Alice-"
"Please, Edward," Alice begged, "Jasper's in pain, please."
Edward paused a moment, hesitant, then nodded. "All right." He took one last look at his brother, before he vanished.
Some of the rage Jasper had felt dissipated as Edward left his line of sight. But his scent still remained and Jasper was shaking from the effort of not going after him. But then Edward was back, and Jasper snarled again. And a new emotion washed over him- fear.
And then he smelled her. Bella. His gut tightened at the thought. Bella. His Bella. Who had chosen the bloodsucker over him. She peaked out from behind Edward, looking at Jasper with worried, fearful eyes.
"Edward?" she questioned softly, unsure. Jasper moaned slightly at the sound.
This seemed to make Bella braver, and she stepped out from behind Edward and approached Jasper slowly. He watched her every move, his breath coming raggedly. Somewhere, far off, he could feel Edward's apprehension and discomfort, but it was insignificant compared to her.
Bella stopped just in front of him and sank slowly to her knees. "Edward says that you can feel Jacob. That... that he's hurting." As she met his eyes, he could feel her guilt and sadness for the pain she had caused. Jasper rocked towards her slightly, completely consumed by Jacob Black's raging emotions. "I'm so sorry," she whispered, brokenly. And she reached hesitantly towards him.
As her fingers touched his cheek, he sighed with relief. The pain eased, the rage at Edward all but forgotten. This was all he wanted. She was all he wanted. He leaned into the touch, whimpering again.
Bella began to cry. And she reached out and gathered Jasper close to her, resting his head against her shoulder, whispering over and over to him. "I'm so sorry, Jasper, I'm so, so sorry." She rocked him back and forth, sobs wracking her body as she held him. Edward knelt behind her, leaning her back against his chest. Holding her while she held Jasper.
Bella still whispered to him. Her voice laced with agony that he didn't need his gift to feel.
"I'm so sorry, Jacob..."
