Bella wasn't a child anymore. She was 21 in human years and she still had someone telling her what to do.
Edward was way worse than Charlie ever was. She actually had to ask his permission to go town and he always said no unless he was going with her.
The rest of the Cullen family had gotten sick of her and Edward arguing all the time and quietly made excuses to go elsewhere, now they were scattered around the world, torn apart.
Carlisle and Esme were busy 'protecting the world' with a bunch of freaks in Scotland. Rosalie and Emmet were in Finland, happily avoiding the sun. Jasper and Alice had parted ways, just for a short time they said.
Jasper had gone off his vegetarian diet. He stopped in occasionally to see if Alice would take him back, she wouldn't. She was the only one who had stuck by Edward and he was grateful.
Edward had gone hunting. Alice knew wasn't coming back, even if he didn't. She'd stuck around Forks out of a sisterly duty and also because Nessie need her.
Bella walked in the room, "I'm sick of this place its so boring. Eternal life was supposed to be fun but nothing happens anymore. All we do sit around together in our own worlds, even high school was more fun than this."
"We could take Nessie and go swimming, see how close we can get to the bottom of the ocean."
It would be nice, thought Bella. She would try not to spoil everyone's day with her bad mood.
Edward never stopped monitoring her like a child, she had thought that once she became a vampire he would ease up and let her live her life a bit. But he didn't, he still watched everything she did. He definitely had control issues he needed to get over. Bella resolved to work on being happier, ignore Edward and let him worry about himself.
Edward had meant to go hunting up in the mountains a few hundred miles from Forks, but once he got running it felt like it was the right thing and he just didn't want to stop.
Edward didn't realise he was running to Jasper until he stopped and smelt the air. Jaspers Scent was there, faintly on the breeze. Edward felt relief and serge of happiness at the thought of seeing his old friend. He looked at the city lights below and headed down into them.
Edward found Jasper standing in a park surrounded by humans. Edward picked up from their minds that they and had been there for days drinking, listening to music. It reminded him of gypsy camps during his childhood, his mother used to make him hurry past and 'not to stare'.
Edward closed his eyes. Jasper's voice was all wrong. Edward hurried towards him. He found him lying on the ground his head in a human girls lap. Her eyes were glazed over. Her thoughts were as jumbled as Jaspers.
'Hey Edward' Jasper said like he'd seen him yesterday.
Edward snarled.
Jasper sat on the ground a strange girl's head on his knee. She was in a state of semi conciseness He ran his fingers though her long hair. He lifted her wrist and made a cut with his fingernail deep into her vein he placed the bleeding gash o his lips. The girl smiled, eyes glazed over.
" I don't bite her," He said, "Just suck and enjoy"
Edwards wanted to push her away from Jasper but found he could not. He was furious. Edward reached out, grabbed her arm and sunk his fangs in as hard as could. Jasper giggled and joined him. They sucked her dry together.
