Are You
Serious?
*Post BD*
*Bella's POV (All
Vampires)*
Disclaimer: I don't own
Twilight, though I wish I did so I could make Edward marry me
I settled down on the couch between Edward and Rosalie. Jasper had called us all for a family meeting. Alice wasn't here, which was strange. She said she went out to a bar, which was REALLY strange for Alice. She couldn't drink, so what the heck? Beside Rosalie was Emmett, and then Carlisle and Esme. Renesmee was at school, at the moment. Jasper waited until Edward turned off the television and looked at everyone. He stood in front of us all, looking quite nervous and worried, but he always did.
"Jasper, dear,
whenever you're ready," Esme called out gently. I curled against
Edward. He was very bored and so was I. Edward shifted his position
and I quickly pulled off.
"Am I crushing you?" I asked
quickly. Edward shook his head no and patted his side, motioning me
to curl against him. Emmett looked over at us.
"Can't you
discuss how fat Bella is later?" he growled. Rosalie reached over
and smacked Emmett's arm, in which he chuckled. I just laughed. I
knew I wasn't fat. I was in perfect shape. I didn't eat fattening
foods; I didn't eat food, period. Edward seemed to take offence,
for he threw a magazine at Emmett.
"Shut up, jerk," he
growled and held me closer to him.
"If you are all
done, Jasper, begin," Carlisle calmly said. Whenever Carlisle
butted in, we knew it was time to shut up. For heaven's sake, I'd
been living here for only a year, but even I knew that. Jasper
nervously looked at everyone and formed a half smile.
"Um, hey
everyone," Jasper said softly. We all waved at him and slouched
back in the chairs.
"Well, I gathered everyone because I want
to tell you something. A secret I've been keeping awhile," Jasper
slowly said. Emmett snickered at the word secret. It was apparently
his funny word, from what Edward said.
"Before everyone freaks
out, I'd like to say that I'm sorry, but I don't want to hide
it much longer. I've been feeling this way for a few decades now,
and I don't really understand why, or if it's normal. In
vampires, that is," Jasper finished off very quietly.
Jasper sighed and
looked at every single one of us before tapping his foot against the
ground.
"Well, Jasper, tell us," Rosalie whispered anxiously.
"We won't freak out," I added in. Jasper finally looked
around on more time before focusing on a wall for a bit.
"I
think I'm… gay," he whispered lowly. Everyone froze for a
second and kind of just stared at him. I lifted my shield and I could
tell Edward immediately wanted to know my thoughts.
Holy
crap. Is that possible? I thought. Edward had
no response, so I closed my shield and looked around. The words
finally set in.
Carlisle dropped his
book from his hands. Esme just rested her head in her hands, sighing
deeply. Emmett snickered and covered his mouth from bursting out in
laughter. Rosalie just sat there, her mouth hanging open. Edward kind
of just turned his head and blankly stared at him. I looked up at
the ceiling and inhaled deeply through my nose, even though I really
didn't need the air.
"Wow, Jasper. Really?" Carlisle calmly
asked, standing up from the chair. Just as Jasper opened his mouth to
talk, Rosalie stood up.
"Are you serious? Oh my god, I have to
find Alice," she suddenly squealed. Before anyone could stop her,
she raced out the door. I wished I could have followed her, but I
remained seating.
"Um, yes, I'm
serious. Carlisle, is it possible to have a twenty year phase? You
know, like kids go through phases where they are like, attracted to
the same sex?" Jasper doubtfully asked Carlisle. He rested his hand
on Jasper's shoulder.
"No," he murmured under his breath
and walked back to the couch. I suddenly decided I should make Jasper
more comfortable.
"Jasper, what made you start feeling this
way?" I asked him quietly. Jasper perked up. He seemed very happy
to talk about his… new ways.
"Well, I guess it was when I was
out hunting. You don't remember, but about twenty years ago, some
guys came along my trail and I…killed them," Jasper softly said.
Edward cringed.
"But anyway, I felt really strongly attracted
to them," he said.
Esme got up from the
couch and left the room without a word to say. Carlisle did the same,
softly shaking his head. I felt bad for Jasper. Emmett coughed
something like 'homo' under his breath before breaking out into a
laughing fit. I felt so bad for Jasper. He was really quiet and still
now.
"Jasper, you, gay? Wow…" Emmett whispered and left
the room as well. Now it was just me, Edward, and Jasper. It was very
awkward, staring at Jasper.
"Jasper, that was very brave. Not
many people could do that in front of their real family, much less
their adoptive brothers, sisters, and parents," Edward blurted out
and stood up, reaching out a hand to shake with Jasper.
"Edward,
I might be gay, but you're my brother. I'm not hitting on you,"
Jasper said softly. He opened up his arms and Edward gave him an
awkward hug.
"Is that even
possible, a homosexual vampire?" I asked quietly. Jasper shrugged
and Edward slowly backed out of Jasper's grasp. I could tell he was
extremely uncomfortable.
"How long has Alice, poor Alice,
known?" I asked. I had a lot of questions for Jasper.
"A
couple days, at the most. She kind of just gasped and asked me if her
vision was right. I don't know what's going to happen, Bella,"
Jasper whispered. I blinked randomly a few times and rubbed my
temples.
"Jasper, I will learn to accept you for who you are.
If you're gay or straight, you're still my brother. And I will
just accept you for you," Edward said and hugged Jasper once more.
"Jasper, I feel the same. The rest of your family will learn to
accept you. Even Nessie. She'll accept you too," I whispered,
stood up, and hugged Jasper.
"Thanks, you two.
That really makes my day. I was kind of, scared, actually, to tell
everyone. I'm surprised, out of everyone here, you two are the ones
that approved or at least accepted," Jasper said. I nodded and
smiled, Edward wrapping his arm around my waist. It was a bit
awkward, but I dealt with it. Edward cleared his throat and began to
talk.
"So, you think we could get Carlisle to match you up with
someone?"
The End
