Story Breakdown:
What would you do if you could get a second chance with your first love?
Edward Cullen & Bella Swan are exes who were once in a beautiful & growing relationship. On the eve of the day they planned to tell each other how they TRULY felt, unplanned events took an extreme turn to the south, and things ended on a hurtful, sour note. Though they are still in-love with each other, even four years later, they are stubborn and cannot admit their feelings, and treat each other like crap to keep their hidden emotions at bay. Now, fate has dealt them another hand of cards, and when they get stuck in the same atmosphere together, they are forced to discover each other again, hash out the past, and expect the unexpected. Because love is a force to be reckoned with... especially when it comes out and bites you in the ass. Twice.
Chapter Breakdown:
Chapter Twenty-One: Part Two of Two, the parents return.
Have you ever heard of the phrase, the tension in the air was so thick, you could cut it with a knife?
More revelations are discovered, tensions run high, and with everything going on... it becomes overloaded and eventually EXPLODES TERRIBLY.

NOTE: READ SLOWLY, there is a LOT of information to process in each and every POV. It's a brain-overload.
Warning: Some of this toward the end gets vivid -- so take caution when you read if you're sensitive.

This chapter is 64 PAGES LONG (bless my beta Katie's heart!!), so I hope it makes up for the time lapse it took to post it!
This is another one of those "nail biting, hold your breath when you post" chapters, but I figured, if you guys have stuck with me this far... I hope you'll stay with me 'til the end!!

Chapter Spoiler/Sneak Peek:
JASPERPOV
This was... awkward.
I glanced at the clock, clearing my throat. Ten am.
And I was sitting here in the cafeteria, with everyone but Jacob.
The parents asked us to all have breakfast with them, no excuses -- sparing Jake, since he was resting.
Why they asked us, I couldn't figure it out. No one was talking.
Carlisle was eating a breakfast omelet, while Esme silently stirred her coffee. Alice held my hand, fingering her French toast sticks and picking pieces to chew slowly. I ate a sandwich. Emmett was to my left, chewing down on a pile of mixed food he shoved on the tiny plastic plate. Rosalie gawked at him in horror, before turning to drink her orange juice and finish her toast. She didn't seem too hungry. Next was Phil, at the other end from Carlisle, glancing at Bella. Renee was beside him, stroking her fingers through Bella's hair while she sipped her coffee. Bella just stared blankly at the table, seeming very dazed and uncomfortable. Nauseated, even. Beside her was Edward, glasses on top of his hair, stirring cream into his coffee and munching slowly on a bagel.
I cleared my throat, leaning to my girlfriend to whisper in her ear, "What’s the deal? Why are they all zombies?"
She shrugged, sticking a piece in her mouth, before turning to me, "Don't know, sweetie. Maybe it's a flu bug that's going around the hospital."
I smirked, shaking my head and whispering back, "Did the bug in question happen to crawl up everyone's ass and die?"
She giggled, but quickly cleared her throat and put on a mask like everyone else, slapping me on my leg.
I massaged the back of her neck, glancing over at Bella, who sat across from me at the table.
She seemed so out of it.
My first reaction was to hop over the table and cradle her, like I would have a month ago.
But I couldn't do that now. Things were different, weren't they? Yes. They were.
I sighed, sipping my water.
I listened as Edward cleared his throat, and watched Bella snap her neck in his direction. "Eat, love," he whispered to her, as he threw his arm over the back of her chair, "you need to."
She looked at him, her eyes almost watering over. She ignored his statement all together. Then she blinked away her emotions, and turned, to stare at her untouched orange juice in front of her. She seemed to zone out on it.
I didn't like it. She seemed numb. Dead to the world. Not the Bella I knew and cared for.
I caught a glimpse of Phil gawking at Edward. He didn't like him having his arm over the back of her chair, and he certainly didn't like Edward "barking orders" to her, as he put it in front of us in the cafeteria, when Edward asked if she liked orange juice, before suggesting it'd be a good idea for her to drink some and gain some energy.
He never acted this way before. This was a new side of Phil. I've known him for three years, and he seems to be a very loving, caring step-father. Loved Bella like she was his own.
I understood Edward was her ex and he didn't want them back together, but for crying out loud. If his eyes could shoot bullets...
I noticed Edward looking up at me, and gave him a slightly comforting, slightly confused smile. I feel your pain, buddy.
He gave me a timid nod, before sipping on his coffee again. "Bella," he whispered, nodding his head to her orange juice.
She sighed, reaching out to pick it up.
As she did, a hand slammed hard on the table, echoing the walls of the hospital cafeteria. It startled all of us, as well as a few people sitting around us, and forced Bella's trembling hands to knock over the full glass, spilling the contents everywhere.
We all began to shuffle around to help clean it up, while Bella began to apologize, but Phil stayed put, glaring at Edward. "Stop demanding things to her, Edward, or so help me God, you will pay! This is not a Stepford wife. She is our daughter, and you will treat her with respect! Do you understand me?"
"Phil," Bella warned, shaking more, "it's okay. Edward was only-"
"No," Phil cut her off, "he needs to learn how to talk to you! He cannot bark orders to you like you're some sort of do-"
"DAD!" Bella shouted, causing us to freeze.
She never called him that before.
Renee's eyes grew wide, while Carlisle and Edward began arguing with each other, and Esme was yelling at Phil for what he said to her son.
I glanced at Bella, who was still trying to clean up the mess on the table. She couldn't seem to get a hold of herself, or her shaking.
Instantly, I hopped out of my chair and went around, pulling her from it. Edward glared at me, but I leaned down and whispered to him, "I'm getting her out of here. We'll be in that empty waiting room across from Jake's."
He nodded, rubbing his face a few times, before chiming into to argue over everyone else who was shouting.
I couldn't make sense of it. Too many people talking at once, all screaming above each other. Battling for the last word.
