***I don't own Twilight obviously

I was seventeen years old when I laid my eyes on Jasper Hale. His perfect statuesque beauty caused my breath to catch. His honey blonde curls and pale skin captivated me. He appeared to be asleep against a large oak tree when I first saw him. Not knowing what he was at the time, I hid quietly behind a tree.

To this day the only thing I can think of that caused those golden eyes to be revealed to me was the skip in my heartbeat. His eyes burned holes into me, but the feeling wasn't uncomfortable. I stepped out from behind the tree and tried to quickly tame my bronze curls. As much as I tried I knew they still stuck up in disarray. I attempted to stare into those penetrating gold orbs, but as soon as I did my heart stuttered again. My face must've given away my fear, because an encouraging smile broke across his perfect lips.

"Wow." I whispered. He must've heard me, because he let out a short chuckle. Sweat began to cover my palms and I quickly wiped them on my jeans.

"Hello. I'm Sophia." I said remembering my manners.

"Hello Sophia. My name's Jasper." His voice caught me by surprise. It was sweet. Almost like he was singing every word. Another laugh escaped from him as my mouth fell open. I was tempted to call him an angel, but I knew that was an embarrassing thing to say, especially after the 'wow' thing.

"Are you lost?" He asked as concern clouded his features.

"N-no I'm just out walking. I wander through these woods all the time." I replied with a blush," Do you live around here?"

"Yes, I live with my foster parents and their four children." He replied.

"Where are your parents?" I asked quietly.

"They passed away."

"I'm sorry." I whispered. I felt embarrassed at my question, but there was something about him that made me want to know more. Just as I was about to ask him another question, an alarm went off. I stared down at my watch and saw that it was already eight. I looked back up at Jasper hesitantly.

"I have to go, but if I come back tomorrow will you be here?' I asked quickly.

"Of course." He showed me a small tentative smile.

I ran before he could see me blush, but I swore I heard him laugh as I headed toward my house.

I woke up early the next morning in anticipation of seeing Jasper again. I quickly pulled on a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. As I pulled on my faded blue Keds, I checked my reflection in the mirror. My hair, as always, was a curly mass around my face. I made no attempt at brushing it but instead resorted to putting it in a ponytail. When I was satisfied I raced out the door.

I picked my way through the woods trying to remember the exact spot Jasper had been at yesterday. After 20 minutes I realized it was useless. I slumped down onto the wet, musty earth and closed my eyes. All I could hear was the wind blowing through the trees and the chirping of birds. I don't know how long I had been there or when I had fallen asleep, but I felt a gentle shake awaken me. As my eyelids fluttered open I saw a set of golden eyes peering down at me curiously.

"Comfortable?" He asked as a he broke out in a smile.

"What time is it?" I asked with a yawn.

"Eleven."

"Oh, what took you so long?"

He chuckled at my question and helped me up from the ground. He avoided my question and instead led me down a hidden trail. I was distracted for a few minutes by the array of flowers and plants around me. I had never seen so many different colors in one place. The only parts of the woods I'd seen consisted of shades of green and brown. We hit a sunny patch in the woods and my breath caught. Jasper must've heard it because he turned to me. I couldn't concentrate on the expression he was making because his body was shinning. On every inch of his skin I could see a beautiful glinting light. He looked like a diamond placed in the sun.

"Wow." I whispered in astonishment. He stared down at his arms and froze. His expression was one of horror when he looked back up at me and I couldn't seem to figure out why.

"Please don't be scared, Sophia." He whispered

I was very confused. Scared? I had no idea what to say back to him so I laughed. His horrified expression changed to one of confusion at the sound of my laughter.

"You-are-so-weird." I managed to gasp out.

When I finally stopped laughing and looked at him he still had a confused expression on. I wanted to laugh more, but I decided to explain myself.

"I mean, how can I be afraid of something so beautiful?"

His eyebrows rose in surprise at my question and then furrowed down. He looked as if he were concentrating very hard on something.

"What if I told you I was a monster?" He whispered darkly.

"There's no way you could be a monster." I said bluntly.

My response only made his eyebrows furrow more. After ten minutes of silence he turned away from me.

"Go home Sophia." He said without looking at me.

"Jasper?" I asked quietly.

He didn't turn to me. I felt tears filling my eyes as I stared at his rigid back. Not wanting him to see me, I turned and ran blindly through the woods back to my house.

So that's the first chapter. Lemme know what you think:)
