So, this is my newest fanfic. It is Bella/Jasper (my fav couple with Bella in it!). Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

It has been about 6 months since he left. He left with no reluctance, he left without caring. I had begun writing in a diary, that is what my pysch told me to do. My father, Charlie had made me go to one, for the first three months I barely talked to him. Soon he became my safe haven, my guiding light. He was my second father. His name was Alaric Jonas. He insisted I call him Alaric, but I persistently refused and called him Doc. I told him EVERYTHING. He already knew about vampires, he had told me that he knew I did, too. So, I told him about the Cullens, breaking the one promise I made to them. But, they had left, all because of him. I lost Alice, Emmett, Esme, and Carlisle. I was not close with Rosalie and Jasper, but I missed them dearly. All because of him. Doc told me to let it out in my diary, I did saying things I would never say to anyone else. Doc did not read it, he told me it was my private thoughts, they were just written out. I had also taken up writing, I loved it, I was writing short stories and one long story, it was called Eternal Darkness. It was of course about Vampires, Werewolves, and the supernatural. Doc had told me about the wolf pack, he had come here to observe them, and they allowed it.

Today, I was going to Doc. Today we are going to talk about my recovery, how I am feeling. What I am doing. I was happy with it, I mean I had him as a refuge. My style had changed when he left. I wore nicer clothes, they were more Arizona-ey, even though I lived in Forks. People like Mike had given up on me, and Angela had become my most trust worthy best friend. She was so sweet and made sure I was always okay. She never gave up on me. I had gotten another car, too. The infamous old orange truck was gone. I now had a hybrid. I was fine with it, it drove faster and was much safer. Plus, I could use the radio. I pulled on a blush-pink tank top and white jeans. Then I pulled on the one thing I would never give up, my converse. I chose to wear my beige ones today. I looked at myself in the mirror, I had already straightened my hair, I ran to the bathroom and put on some light makeup. I looked good. I grabbed my light brown jacket and backpack and walked downstairs. I grabbed a muffin.

"Bye Charlie!" I screamed. I knew he was in the shower it was only 6:45, which means he had just gotten in. I walked out the front door and jumped in my black hybrid. I revved the engine and backed out of the driveway. I sped down the road and to the school.

The parking lot was packed with cars. I swiftly drove into the spot that Mike saved for me, he was an amazing friend. Him and Jessica had been going out for 3 months now. He smiled at me as I got out.

"How you doing Arizona?" He asked using my nickname.

"Great!" I replied happily. I had began to love school again. I was passing easily and helping Mike pass too.

"Sweet. Anyway... I umm have some news." Mike said quietly.

"What?" I asked looking at Mike was being oddly quiet.

"The Cullens are back." He responded cautiously. I was silently shocked. How, Why? "Arizona. I am not letting them near you. They will not hurt you again." Mike came over and pulled me into a well needed hug. I smiled as he pulled away.

"Thanks Mike. Anyway like it matters. They left. I found new better friends. Plus I heard Caleb Banks was going to ask me out." I said smugly. Mike nodded happily.

"Stick it to him!" He smiled, I laughed. I was shocked though. Sad, too. But, I was not going to show it. I was decently popular and happy now. They were not going to ruin that.

Me, Mike, Angela, and Jessica walked into the school. Everyone was looking at me to see how I had reacted about that Cullens. I held my head high and strode down the hall. We all ended up at my locker. I pulled some books out. School did not start for 30 more minutes so we went to sit in the cafeteria. They served coffee in the morning. I was in need of a coffee.

We walked into the cafeteria and there they were. Beautiful as ever and they were all looking at each other, conversing. The only shocking thing was that he had his arm around ALICE! I breathed in deeply. I guess they were going out. I understood, well not really. But, I was going to ignore it. I grabbed a coffee and sat on the table. Angela sat next to me.

"You okay?" She whispered barely hear able. Alice looked over, I avoided her eyes.

"Of Course." I responded. Some one tapped on my shoulder, I turned to see Caleb Banks.

"Hey Bells." He said.

"Hey Caleb." I responded. So, I was right Caleb was going to ask me out.

"So, the homecoming dance is coming up and well I was wondering if you would go with me? I mean unless you planned on going with Cullen now that he is back." Edward glanced over this time.

"Of course I will go with you! Edward is old news. We broke up, it was sad, and now I am over it." I said forcing myself to be happy. I was, but I needed to sound like it.

"Great! You want to get dinner first?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, pick you up at 6 next friday!"

"See you then!"

I smiled happily.

"Ang? We should go say hi." I said thinking deeply.

"You sure?" She said worriedly.

"Yes." I led Angela over to the table where all of the Cullens were sitting. They all looked at the new me shocked.

"Hi, we just wanted to welcome you back. It has been a very long time!" I said happily. I was wearing my new smile. It was bright and happy.

"Yeah. Hey." Angela said after me, equally as happy. They all looked shocked. Alice looked guilty even. Jasper was the first that spoke up,

"Hello Bella. You look great. By the way sorry about... your birthday last year." Jasper said.

"Jasper that is totally old news! But, thanks for the apology, I know you did not mean it. By, the way, Alice?" I said looking at her straight in the eyes. "Are you and Edward going out? Cause if you are you two should totally try out for homecoming King and Queen. You two are adorable!"

"Umm, thanks?" Alice responded.

"No, Problemo. So, see you guys around?" I said, they sorta nodded. "Well BYE!" I turned on my heel and me and Angela left the cafeteria. We high-fived, they were shocked. Edward was especially shocked.

So, I hope you like it!
