~• Jasper's Mate •~

~•| 2: Their Secret |•~

Alice and I were becoming best friends. I had heard from Jacob that there were vampires that lived here. Jacob was a kid I had grown up with and we were best friends, his dad was like a second dad to me and my dad's best friend. When I told Jake that I was friends with Alice he said for me to be careful around her. As the curious person I was, I asked why. He said for me to remember the old myth he told me on the beach before I went to my new school, he told me that the myth was the answer. So now I know why the Cullens were so pale and had amber eyes, why Alice's skin was so cold, and why they all looked so beautiful and stunning. They were vampires.

     I didn't care though, I knew that if they wanted to hurt me they would've already sucked my blood dry.

     So the next day at school I decided to talk to them. At lunch I went to the Cullen's table and sat next to Alice and Jasper, he sifted in his seat at my presence.

     "Is my blood too strong for you?" I asked him, he looked at me shocked, everyone did. "If it is I can leave. And don't worry I won't tell anyone." I stood up, but both Jasper and Alice grabbed my hands, pulling me back down.

     "How did you know?" Alice asked me with worry.

     "I figured it out." I said. "Don't worry I won't tell anyone, I know you guys aren't going to cause any trouble and that you're good vampires that only eat animals."

     "You figured that out all on your own?" Rosalie scoffed.

     "I did my research and I know you're dad, I know he wouldn't have fixed all of my injuries at the hospital if he was just going to kill me." I said looking at Jasper with a smile.

     "Wow, I like this girl!" Emmett says laughing. "She knows how to use her brain. Jasper you have a good mate." My eyes widen, Emmett covered his mouth and mumbled an 'oops'. Was I really Jasper's mate? A light blush comes to my cheeks.

     "Way to spoil things Emmett!" Rosalie said hitting his arm.

"Wait, I'm really your mate?" I ask confused.

"Yes, that's why your blood is so...... appealing." Jasper says.

"Why me?" I ask, I was never really liked by anyone.

     "What do you mean you were never really liked by anyone?" Edward asks. I looked at him confused.

     "Wait how did you know what I was thinking?" I asked.

     "I can read minds just like Alice can see the future and Jasper can feel and manipulate emotions." Edward replies. "But you still haven't answered my question."

     "I don't know..... I guess I am just not good enough for people. I'm just too different." I say a little taken back by the news of their powers.

     "Being different isn't a bad thing." Jasper says with a kind voice.

     "Yeah look at us we are very different." Emmett says with a chuckle.

     "But what's so special about me? Why am I your mate?" I ask, my mom didn't even love me she left me and took my sister.

     "We don't know, you just are, just like Emmett is mine." Rosalie says.

     "I am surprised you haven't run out screaming." Emmett said.

     "I didn't say I was upset about it." I said looking at my lap, blushing. I look at Jasper who is smirking.

"So would you like to come over so we can get to know each other, I hardly know anything about you except that something makes you sad and that you're my mate." He says looking at me. The bell rang and I stood up and pulled my backpack over my shoulder.

    "Sure I'd love to come over." I say smiling than walking to my next class.

All my other classes were boring and not educational, but it was time for History which I have with Jasper. I walk into the class room and see him at our desk, I feel nervous as I walk up to sit next to him. What if they were wrong, what if I am not his mate?

     I sat down next and my nerves were gone, he must be changing my emotions.

     "Hey about earlier, just because you're my mate it doesn't mean I have to be yours." He said playing with his pencil.

"I'm just taking it all in, it's not that I don't like you." I said placing my hand on top of his, he flinched and I pulled my hand away looking down at my lap. "Sorry."

"N-no it fine, I'm just still getting used to your smell and trying not to suck your blood." He said, both of us chuckle, and he grabbed my hand, projecting his emotions on me. I felt warm inside.

The teacher started talking and we turned our attention on her, his hand still holding mine. I smiled on the inside when he didn't let go the whole class.

After class Jasper and I walked out of the school together. We had decided that he would drive me to his house in my truck. I got in the passenger seat and took my bag off my shoulders. Jasper turned on the radio as he pulled out of the parking lot. I smiled as I listened to the music.

"I thought you were a music girl." He said looking at me smiling.

"You thought right." I said laughing. "I love music."

"Let me guess you play piano?" He asked and I smiled at him.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"Just a guess." He said. "Can you sing?"

     "I haven't sang in front of anyone before so I don't know." I say, I think I have a pretty voice but who know maybe I am tone deaf and actually sound terrible.

     "Sing for me." He says smiling and turning off the radio.

     "What?"

     "Sing for me please?" He asks with a pouty face.

     "Uh.... ok...... what should I sing?" I ask fidgeting a little.

     "The first song that comes to your mind." He said.

     "Ok." I started sing a song I listen to recently. (The video above) I finished singing and looked at Jasper. His face was complete shock. I blushed and looked down. "Did I sound bad?"

"No! Oh my gosh, you sounded amazing!" He said completely baffled.

"Thank you." I said turning red. He laughed and I looked at him.

"What's funny?" I asked smiling.

"My siblings are in the car behind us and they heard you sing." He said and I turned redder if that was even possible. "They are freaking out, they said you sounded beautiful."

"Tell them I say thanks." I said smiling.

"They heard you." He said smiling at the road.
