If you're talking about the "birthday party"...the reason why Jasper attacks Bella is partly due to the power of his gift. Jasper can control emotions...but he also feels the emotions of the ones he is around. When Bella cut her finger...ALL the Cullens felt the bloodlust, however they could control that blood lust. Jasper felt his own blood lust combined with ALL the Cullen's...so he just couldn't help it. I wondered about this until I read an article with Meyer explaining it.
