Different than most...this is Jasper and Bella
Bella’s point of view:
As per usually, I was laying on my bed in silence as tears slipped down my cheeks. It was time for me to get back to life. I couldn’t keep laying around waiting for Edward to return. That’s right I can say his name. I can even talk about him sometimes. Charlie has been trying to get me together with Jacob, but I don’t see anything happening there. He’s my best friend and maybe if things were different I’d fall for him.
It was decided. I was going to dress a little different and learn how to not be so clumsy. I looked at my new wardrobe and chose a frilly black mini-skirt with a light blue camisole and denim jacket. Oh, and my shoes, yeah, two inch heels.
Charlie was in the kitchen with his coffee. When he saw me he started to choke. “Bella?” Charlie asked.
“Hey dad, what do you think?” I asked nervously.
“I think you look wonderful.” He smiled. Breakfast went quickly and I went to school just as he left for work.
I drove to school like always and went to my first class with a smile on my face. When I walked into the English room, my eyes immediately fell in contact with a certain tall, blonde man that I thought I’d never see again. Jasper. My emotions shot through the roof. Is it just him here? Is Alice here? Are all of them here? On the other end of it, I was so happy to see the southern gentleman.
Interestingly enough, the only empty seat in the room was next to him. I sat down and saw him stiffen from the corner of my eye. I ripped out a piece of notebook paper and scribbled a quick note to him.
I’m sorry, Jasper. I know how bad my blood calls to you. I’m sorry.
I passed it to him and scooted my chair as far away as possible so that I didn’t make it worse. I saw his pale hand grab the paper and waited for him to move his chair away too. I was shocked when a white hand put a white hand in front of me.
Don’t be silly, Bella. Your scent doesn’t bother me anymore. In fact, if I could be so bold, I actually enjoy it.
I heard his chair scrape across the floor and he was sitting closer to me than before. I looked up at him and he smiled at me. “Hello Miss Isabella, you look beautiful.” I blushed and smiled back.
“Mr. Whitlock, you are too kind.” I replied. He chuckled and laid his hand on mine, which was resting on the desk.
“No, I’m not even close. You are much more than beautiful, but that is being too bold.” He explained. I blushed darker.
“Jasper, you look really nice.” I finally noticed he was wearing a blue button down shirt with dark blue skinny, jeans and accented it with brown dress shoes and a brown belt. He looked amazing.
I watched as Jasper tilted his head down and away from me, a bashful look. “Thanks, I dressed myself.” I giggled. “I’ve been dressing myself.” He told me.
That right there told me something was wrong, but we were too happy to broach the topic. The class started and Jasper’s hand never left mine. We walked through the halls together in silence and sat through the rest of our classes in silence. When lunch came he went to sit alone at the Cullen table and I was pulled away from him by Angela.
We were comfortable in our silence. Jasper waited for me outside of Gym class, my last class, and we walked to the parking lot together. When we reached my truck, I turned to look at him. “Do you want a ride?” He didn’t have a car here.
“No, no, that’s okay.” He declined.
I looked at my truck and back at him. “Jasper, get in the truck.”
“Really, Bella, it’s okay. I can run home. I don’t want you to be afraid of me.” He told me and went to help me into the cab.
I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the truck with me so he was in the driver’s seat. “You won’t scare me. I’ve always known you were the one with the best control. Now, why don’t you drive yourself home and I’ll get myself home from there?”
He was silent. “Ugh, Bella, I don’t really have a home right now.”
“What do you mean?” I was worried about him. I mean, of course the Cullens would let him live in their old house.
“Some things happened and I’m not part of the Cullen family anymore, well I am to Esme, Carlisle, and Rose.”
So something happened between Edward, Alice, and Emmet? Something so bad that Jasper doesn’t have a home? “Drive to my house.” I told him and he didn’t question it. When we reached the front of the house, I noticed the police car in the driveway. “Come in with me.” Yeah, I was telling not asking. Jasper got out of the car and opened the door for me. We went inside and I spotted Charlie on the sofa. “Hey dad,” I greeted.
“Hey Bells,” he sat up and paused. “Uh, Bells, who is this?”
“Dad, this is Jasper. He used to be one of Dr. Cullen’s kids, but something came up and they threw him out. He’s got nowhere to go.” I gave puppy dog eyes.
