《The Banshee (Jasper Hale x OC)》Chapter 15
Advertisement
It all happened so fast...
Edward pushed Bella away, but that resulted in her getting more cuts...
He pushed Jasper away and he landed on the piano.
"Jasper!" I shouted. His family tried to grab him, but he managed to dodge most of them.
Emmett managed to hold Jasper and I went to him.
"Emma, don't" said Rosalie.
"Jazz... Jasper... It's okay, it's just a little blood" I whispered and touched his face. But he snarled at me and bit my hand.
I yelled out in pain and that broke Jasper out of it.
"Emma..." he said.
"Get Jasper out of here" said Carlisle.
"Emma, I'm so sorry" said Jasper and he left the room. He looked hurt...
Carlisle went to check on Bella, while Esme looked at my hand.
"I'll have to stitch this up in my office. How is Emma's hand?" asked Carlisle.
"It's fine" I said. "It doesn't hurt anymore"
"I'll wrap it up for you. Then you can talk to Jasper. He'll listen to you" said Esme and I followed her.
"I can do it myself if it bothers you" I said and Esme shook her head.
"No, your blood doesn't smell so strong. It's fine" she said and wrapped up my hand in a bandage.
"Thank you" I said and saw Jasper coming in.
Esme looked at him and he looked down at his feet. "I got control now" he said and Esme left the room with the bloody handkerchiefs.
Jasper walked to me and looked at my hand.
"Emma... I'm so sorry..." he whispered and I grabbed his hands.
"I know. It's okay" I said.
"It's not okay, Emma. I could've really hurt you and Bella" he said.
"But you didn't. I'm fine, so is Bella" I said.
"I bit you!" he shouted and turned around. "You should hate me, I did exactly what your father did to you"

I touched his shoulder. "Jasper" I said and made him look at me. "Look at me. I could never hate you. And what you did and what my father did, is completely different. My father bit me on purpose. You did it on accident, and you stopped the moment you realised that you bit me. So I don't hate you, Jasper. I forgive you"
"I don't deserve your forgiveness" he said and let his forehead rest against mine.
"Well, too bad Cowboy. You get it anyway" I said and he smiled.
I hugged him and pulled him close to me. He grabbed on to the back of my shirt and hugged me tightly. And we stood like that for the rest of the night.

The next few days, the Cullen's didn't show up. And I didn't hear anything from them...
But then after a week after the party, I found Jasper in my room.
"Jasper" I said and my smile dropped when I saw his serious face. "What's wrong?"
"We're leaving" he said and I dropped my bag on the ground.
"What? Why?" I asked.
"Edward is going to tell Bella it's because of Carlisle who's supposed to be 10 years older than he looks" said Jasper.
"But the real reason?" I asked and he stepped closer to me, taking the hand he bit in. It had already become a scar.
"It's not safe for you to be around us. To be around me" he said.
"That's not true" I said.
"It is, Emma" he said. "If I lose control, I could take that out on you. I don't want to hurt you, Emma. I can't forgive myself if I do that again"
He dried a tear that was rolling off my cheek.
"I'm going to tell you something. But I don't want you to say anything back to me, just listen... You are the most important person in my life, Emma. I waited for you, for so long. You are my everything" he whispered. "I love you, so much... I'm not going to ask you to wait for me. But I'll come back for you, when I have more control over myself. As I am now... I'm not safe for you"

I cried and he hugged me tightly. "I'm so sorry, Emma"
"Please, don't go" I begged him. "Please don't leave me"
"I have to, Emma" he whispered and pushed me away from him. "I love you, I'll always love you Emma Marshall" he kissed my forehead and when I opened my eyes, he was gone...
I fell on my knees and I began to cry even harder... my heart broke... I was broken...
-Jasper POV-
I saw her fall on her knees and grab her shirt at her heart.
She was crying even harder and all she felt was pain, sadness...
But this was the right choice. I was deluding myself that I was safe for her. All it took was one drop of blood to make me lose control... and she tried to calm me down, but I bit her...
"She'll wait for you" said Alice, who stood next to me. "She loves you very much, Jazz"
"I don't deserve her" I said and she sighed.
"You do. She'll forgive you for leaving" she said. "Did you give it to her?"
"Yeah, her birthday present is on her nightstand" I said and took one last look at the girl that owned my heart.
-Emma POV-
'Bella' I thought. 'She's going to be hurt even more... where is she?'
I ran downstairs and saw Charlie.
"Emma? What's wrong?" he asked when he saw my puffy eyes.
"The Cullens... they're leaving" I said and he looked surprised. "Have you seen Bella? I'm worried, she's going to be hurt even more by them leaving"
"No, I haven't. I'll try calling her" he said and he tried, but she didn't pick up. "I'll call the station for a search party"
I went back to my room to get something warmer to wear, so I could look out for Bella. And I noticed something on my nightstand...
'For Emma' it was a letter with Jasper's handwriting and a box...
"Emma, I know you might not forgive us for leaving. I hope you will. You are so special to me, you are the one I love most of all in this world. In the box you will find the present I was going to give to you on your birthday. I was also planning on telling you how I feel to you then.
It's a bracelet, it's the one thing I have from my mother. When I saw it again, it reminded me on the roses you love to draw. I am so sorry for leaving you, but I promise when I can control myself. I'll come back for you, my love.
Forever yours,
Jasper Whitlock
PS: Carlisle gave you something for your birthday too"
I opened the box and it was a bracelet with a rose in the middle. It was beautiful...
Carlisle gift was a declaration that I was suited for driving. So I could finally learn how to drive. Also, Alice had put the picture of me and Jasper on my nightstand.
I read the letter over and over again...
"Oh, Jasper you huge dimwit. I didn't even get to tell you I feel the same" I whispered and put on the bracelet.

I also drew the cover myself because I wasn’t sure which pictures were okay to use and I didn’t want to bother with it. So yea, sorry about the amateur drawing (・.・;) In any case, feel free to give feedback and thank you for reading.
8 132Directorate: Nationbuilding in Apocalypse
A nation is just a means of survival. Metro Manila fell within 5 months of the first report of cannibalism. Once a hyperurbanized region of 15 million inhabitants, it's been reduced to a dead, greenless shell. Most of the infected had since left to ravage the countryside. The central government was nowhere to be found. Among the survivors who clung to the few gardens and humble plots of arable land left, one of them finds evidence that the slaughter wasn't going to just end with the first wave. Without a nation and a wall of guns, everyone will die. Directorate is an original nationbuilding webnovel that focuses on the gradual rise to power of a select few individuals, and the subsequent unification of the survivors of a devastated Metro Manila. Releases targeted at every 1 to 3 weeks. If there are no chapter updates after 3 weeks, there will be a progress update. Number of releases targeted at a maximum of 100 chapters. Every 10-15 chapters, there will be a 1-month hiatus to let me plan for the next 10-15 chapters. Double releases have a not-insignificant-but-still-small chance of occurring. Original cover edited on GIMP. Destroyed city original photo "apocalypse" from Camila Rodrigues on Pixabay.
