Destination by Kerrfrano
After six months of self discovery Jasper boards a plane to head back to a life he doesn't want, where he meets Edward. Will their destinations take them to the same place? E&J Rated M Please R&R
This story starts out with Edward noticing Jasper at the Sydney airport. They've both been in Australia for an extended time but both are there for far different reasons. Jasper has spent 6 months there trying to find himself, trying figure out just what he wants out of life. He has lived the life his parents wanted him to live and he can't do it anymore. He's gay, and he's pretty sure when he tells his parents they wont want anything to do with him again. This is really hard for him to take since his family is everything to him. He comes to the conclusion that all he really needs is his twin sister Rosalie. He decided it was time to go home when he missed his family so bad he couldn't go on anymore.
Edward is there working, though he doesn't want to tell Jasper that. He's immediately drawn to Jasper at the airport and can't resist talking to him, but he wont tell him his name and doesn't want to know Jasper's. They end up at opposite ends of the plane, but during the flight Edward can't stop himself from seeking out Jasper. There's so much primal, instant attraction than neither of them can resist. Even if they're together for a short time.....
"Reaching out I grabbed his hand and pulled him back down to me. He wasn't
going to leave me again, I couldn't let him. I needed to be with him for as long
as possible even if it was for just the length of this flight. What I had
started to feel for him in this small amount of time, I knew that I wouldn't be
getting over anytime soon. It was an instant, overpowering compulsion to have
him with me the rest of my life. I was a firm believer in lust at first sight,
but this went way beyond that. Could this be what they talk about when
discussing love at first sight? I wondered. Was I falling in love with
this stunning creature in front of me? I guess only time could answer
that.
I looked up into his face and said with complete honesty "Don't leave...please."
"Oh, thank God," he whispered. "I thought I had come on too strong. This isn't something I normally do."
"I am extremely happy you did." I confessed, feeling the heat rise in my cheeks."
Once they land in Los Angeles Edward cant bear to let Jasper go, he asks him to go to his place. But something in the way he acts in public seems off to Jasper. He gets a sense that Edward's not out. He's not sure if that's something he's willing to deal with. But he is so attracted to Edward that that's all he can think about, and the thought of leaving him now is not acceptable. He's not completely comfortable with the situation when they finally arrive at Edwards apartment. Things change as soon as the door closes and they can't keep their hands off each other. They spend an incredible 24 hours together, but at the end of it Jasper leaves before Edward can wake. He leaves Edward a note, something that ends up meaning more than anything to Edward. Something that gives him hope when he has none left. When he doubts that what they had was real, he reads the note, and all those emotions flood him again....
"Beautiful E,
Words can't even describe how much these last twenty-four hours have meant to me. You have given me the strength to go home and finally be true to myself and my family.
I will always remember you and everything we had together. Maybe in a different situation or alternate reality you and I could have explored this more and been each others' life's passion.
Thank you for everything..... I will never forget it.
Just know that you will always have a small piece of my heart.
Forever,
Jasper W. Hale."
Months later, they meet again...with a little help from Alice. And once again, after a very tense conversation, they find themselves together. They're happy, both of them. Happier than either has ever been. They spend two beautiful weeks together. Spending every minute they can together. At the end of the two weeks Jasper whispers his love for Edward. While Edward feels the same, he's scared. Scared that someone might find out about his love, scared that someone might find out about Jasper, scared that someone might find out he's gay. So without really thinking about the consequence of his actions he packs everything and leaves Jasper.
This hurts both men so much, and makes a huge impact on both their lives. Jasper decides after a month that he's not going to grieve for their love another day. He starts writing, and soon has a novel that he wants to try to publish. Edward's career has remained the same, barely. He's lost weight, become withdrawn from his family, and struggles daily to find a reason to go on. Every thought is of how he blew it with Jasper.
Five years later, something big happens, Jasper's book has done really well. They want to make a movie out of it, and the actor they want to play the lead part is Edward Cullen. All this time Jasper never knew his name, never wanted to tempt himself by finding out more. Now he's faced with not only having to see Edward again, but having to work with him. He's not sure he can do that, or if he even wants to try.
This story is very captivating from the start. It's so obvious how much they care about each other. But it's painfully clear that they both have alot of skeletons in the closet. Things that didn't matter on a one night stand, mattered alot after 2 weeks together. I am so torn, I understand why Jasper would be so hurt. Edward was so cruel in how he handled things, or didn't handle them. But I understand why Edward would think he needed to do the things he did.
They're both such great characters, and their stories suck you in from the start. Not to mention when they're together, it's crazy hot. It's painful to see what they put themselves through, and they do essentially cause each other alot of pain. I can't wait to see what happens next, maybe they'll both finally be able to admit that both of their lives are better together than they have been apart. I want to see how they overcome everything, and I can't wait to see how happy they are together....if they'll let that happen.
Huge thank you to NisaCullen and Mynameisserendipity for pre-reading and to Mrs. Agget for beta'ing and all of her encouragement. You really need to check this story out, it's just too good to miss.
