JasperxOC Request for @cherishfallenangel

This one-shot was requested by the lovely @cherishfallenangel, I hope you like it! This will be pure fluffiness after some drama with a bear attack, just as a warning. Stay awesome, my lovely readers, and let us dive into the story!

Jasper's POV

I hate moving. It was a fact that all of my brothers and sisters knew about me the second Carlisle told us that we had to leave Ohio yet again to move to Vancouver, Canada. Why did we have to move? For one, Alice and I got a divorce after she decided that humans were tasty and drained one in the streets, forcing the Volturi to kill her. And second, she wasn't my soulmate, period. Everyone in the family kept telling me that Alice and I were meant to be, but I knew differently as did she. I sat down on the "bed" in my room when I heard, "You don't need to beat yourself up for Alice's choice, Jasper."

I turned and saw Bella Cullen, formerly Bella Swan, standing in the entryway to my room, her golden eyes locked on mine and radiating both love and concern. I sighed and she walked in, sitting down next to me and taking my hand in hers. While not looking at her, I said, "I know, Bella, and I'm not beating myself up for Alice. Rather, I'm beating myself up because of my stupid-ass decision to think that we could work our problems out before she decided to turn humans into bloodless pincushions." When I looked at Bella and saw her staring at me, I asked, "A bit much?"

She nodded and answered, "Yeah, a bit too much, if you ask me. And I won't condone what Alice did to those humans and our family; she had no reason to go out and massacre innocent people when we live-lived-in a house with the woods as our backyard. You can't turn back time and make everything better when you know that Alice would've broken your undead heart eventually. Now, you need to hunt, and Edward and Emmett are taking you hunting. No buts about it, so move."

I sighed yet again, stood up, and smiled at Bella before rushing out of the house and meeting Edward and Emmett at the edge of the woods; man, it is awesome to live at the edge of the woods! Since I was the first one out of the three of us to show up, I decided to walk further into the forest and scope out the terrain for some unsuspecting bears that would make for a great dinner. However, when I heard a bear growling and a whimper, I knew that there was someone out there in trouble with a bear. This wasn't going to be good, that much I knew. I dashed into the woods, followed the whimper, and stopped in my tracks when I saw a woman about my age cowering against a tree and a huge grizzly bear growling at her. I met her eyes and she whispered, "Help me. Please, help me."

I nodded at her, moved a little closer toward the back of the bear, and grabbed it in a neck hold; the bear thrashed around and tried to get me, but I held on for my undead life. After about ten or twelve minutes of thrashing from the bear, I bore down with all my might and crushed its neck right in front of the woman it was trying to eat.  I let it go, it flopped down in front of me, and I finally smelled the most beautiful scent in the world coming from the girl. She whimpered and cowered as I made my way closer to her, my hands up high so as not to scare her. I then said, "It's alright, I'm not going to hurt you. What's your name, ma'am?"

She stared at me, and I felt my undead heart let out one faint beat, something it hadn't done since I was a human during the Civil War. This woman doesn't know what she does to me, and I don't even know who she is! I slowly grabbed her shoulder and side to try and get her on her feet and she yelped. "Bear scratched me..." were the only words she got out before she passed out against the tree. I picked her up gently, cradling her small frame in my arms, and dashed back to the house. This would delay our leaving Ohio for wherever we were going, but I had a feeling that I didn't care at that point. I had the most beautiful woman in my arms, and I was going to save her no matter what.
