Jasper III

It's here, it's finally here!!  Jasper is going to meet his new born son for the first time.  As Jade walks through the terminal to greet the love of her life her heart beats uncontrollably.  She is excited and nervous to see him.  More excited than nervous of course but still nervous nonetheless.  There he is, oh how he is as handsome as the day they met.  The two embrace one another baby in arm.  Jade hands Aiden off to Jasper.  Jasper says nothing he just stares at his first born child.  

The three arrive at their new home.  A beautiful apartment in a gated community.  It was a two bedroom with all the amenities anyone could ever hope for.  There was even a pool and a hot tub.  Aiden's room had beautiful french doors.  Oh how Jade loved her new home with her little family.  Jasper had traded his motorcycle for a car.  Everything seemed perfect.  Jade called her mother to tell her all about their home.  They didn't have a bed yet so the two of them slept on a blow up mattress and the baby slept in a laundry basket padded with blankets.  They would buy a crib later that week.  

Jasper went to work every morning at 5:00 am while Jade stayed at home to care for Aiden.  At first everything was blissful.  Jasper and Jade were rekindling their love.  Jade noticed that things between them had changed.  Jasper was no longer the romantic he was when the two first met.  Now he was mean.  He would take cheap shots at her every chance he got.  The abuse started verbally but soon turned physical.  Jasper made her do things sexually that she really didn't want to.  She had no where to go for help.  He stopped letting her call her family.  So from time to time she would sneak calls keeping them short.  She never told them what was really happening just made everything sound better than it really was.  On Thanksgiving Jade had, had enough and told Jasper that she would be leaving with Aiden to go back home.  Jasper didn't even put up a fight. 

The night Jade was scheduled to leave the two got into a fight.  It was the worst yet.  Jasper began to beat her ruthlessly.  Making sure not to strike her in the face but every where else on her body was free game.  He held her on the ground as she screamed bloody murder.  Aiden had woken to the sound of his mother's screams.  He was crying no he was screaming.  Jade looked at him from the floor and got angry with the sound of her child's cry.  She couldn't go and pick him up she wanted to so badly but Jasper's hold on her was to strong for her.  She finally let her anger fight for her and she pushed him off of her with all her strength.  She ran for her crying child and picked him up.  Knowing that Jasper wouldn't hit her with Aiden in her arms she used him like a shield.  Jasper just stood there from across the room staring at her with demon eyes.  Jade calmed Aiden down and laid him back in his crib.  The anger took over.  Her eyes turned as black as night.  She stood toe to toe with Jasper.  Feeling the anger course through her veins from her toes up through her legs to her stomach up her chest down her arms to her finger tips.  Just when she felt she was about to explode she waited just one more second letting the pressure build.  Then she released it.  Jade punched Jasper square in his mouth.  Jasper was knocked backward put his hand to his mouth as Jade watched him spit out his teeth.  Blood dripped from his gums.  Jade calmly sat on the couch.  Jasper regained his composure and stood over her with his fists balled up tightly as if he was preparing to fight a man.  Jade confidently said to him "Are you going to hit me?  Will it make you feel like more of a man?"  Jasper swung his fist in her face but stopped just before he would hit her nose.  Jade didn't even turn her face she just stared at him appearing to be calm but on the inside was engorged with fear.  Jasper turned and walked out the door.  Jade exhaled and began to cry.  

An hour later Jasper returned to find that Jade was still sitting in the same spot when he had left.  He sat on the opposite end of the couch.  They stared at each other for what seemed to be an eternity.  Jasper started laughing.  Jade said "This isn't funny."  Jasper responded "Jade you hit like a man."  Jade said nothing she just got off the couch and grabbed her and the babies suitcase.  She was ready to go home.

Jade and Aiden arrived back home to find her mother waiting for her at the airport.  Jade didn't say much what was there for her to say.  She was devastated and beat up.  Her mother wouldn't find out about what had really taken place for years to come.  Jasper never hit her in the face so there weren't bruises you could readily see.  No all her bruising was under her clothes.  The worst of the injuries was the one to her heart.  When Jade arrived back at the house she immediately went to her mother's room to lay on the bed.  Jade didn't leave that room for three days.  She cried day in and day out.  It was over and nothing could repair the pain he had caused her.  She would no longer be the sweet spirited young lady she was when she left.  Now she was bitter, jaded and her spirit was broken forever.
