(A/N: I have no idea what possessed me to write Jasper/Leah. But I did, so…enjoy! I think Jasper might be a little OOC, but I'm not sure.)

Hope

The emotions coming off of Leah were something Jasper had never felt before.

Sad, scared, lonely, but there was hope. There was always hope.

The strange mixture of emotions drew him in, making him feel attached to her in some way.

After a while, Leah's hope was the only emotion Jasper feel from her. It was small, but strong, so strong it felt like he was drowning in it.

Alice would never find out, Jasper reminded himself. She couldn't see him doing this.

Jasper crept up behind Leah like a lion tracking its prey. When he got close enough to her, he turned Leah around so she was facing him.

Before Leah could react, Jasper kissed her, burying himself underneath her emotions.

"What was that for?" Leah asked, sounding out of breath, but not at all unpleased with what had just happened.

"For hope," Jasper answered.

(A/N: I really like Jasper/Leah. Not as much as blackwater, but I still like it. A lot. What do you guys think of it? And was Jasper OOC? I don't really like the lines about Jasper creeping up on Leah, because I think it ruins the flow of the words, but I could totally see Jasper doing that. Reviews are love!)
