I don't own twilight

Jasper POV

The sun glinted off a car pulled to the side of the road as I came closer I could see a woman standing by the car staring down at a cell phone a look of distress across her face. I pulled to the side of the road behind her and got out of my car.

"Ma'am can I help you?" she turned to me and I found myself breathless by the brown eyes looking back at me. I don't know what it was but I'd never felt anything like that before.

"Yes my tire blew and I thought I had another one but it seems someone borrowed it without asking and now I'm stuck out here with no tire and no cell reception either." Her worlds pulled me back.

"Well Town in about five miles that way." I pointed down the road. "I can give you a ride back there. I haven't been there in ten years but I'm sure Sam's auto body shop is still open. If not I'm sure there is another place to get you a tire. Or maybe track down the person who stole your other one." I suggested.

"That would be my wonderful friend Rosalie. I'm sure she was meaning to replace it and forgot. She can be a bit scatter brained sometimes how she runs a successful diner I'll never figure out." Mystery girl shook her head.

I shook my head of course she knew Rose but then I guessed that wasn't surprising Rory Texas was a small town. Though I couldn't place her and she looked younger then Rose by a few years. "So you know Rose then well that explains it I chuckled.

"Yes." She looked at me strangely "but how do you know Rose? I don't know you or do I?" she looked at me as if trying to place me.

"I'm Jasper Cullen Rosalie's older brother." Her eyes widened in recognition before she doubled over laughing.

"Excuse me but what is so funny?" I looked at the girl before reaching out to hold her up afraid she'd fall over she straitened up and smirked at me.

"Sorry it's just amusing. Jasper Cullen bad boy extraordinaire of Rory Texas home again and helping a stranded person. Your M.O. is more steeling the tire then helping find another one." She smirked.

"OH has my sister been telling Tales on me because Darling you look to young to remember me when I was here before. "

"Well I was ten when you left so I remember you a bit. I remember when you wrote across my father's garage door. Sheriff Swan Sucks. Man was he steaming."

My eyes widened. "You're the Sharif's daughter?"

"Guilty as charged. I'm sure you don't remember me. Isabella Swan. But call me Bella please." She held out her hand.

"Are you sure that's safe?" I teased.

"For me or you." She winked. "I promise my daddy won't have your hide as long as you promise not to steal my purse and then mail it back with whipped cream in it."

"Hey that was only once and Lauren Mallory deserved it." I defended myself."

"I'm sure she did." She leaned against her car kicking her heal against the door. The red dress she was wearing hiking up her leg and causing my mouth to go dry.

"Right." I swallowed so would you like that ride?"

"I don't know is it safe to get into a car with you?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yes it is okay get in or I'll leave you here.

"Now that is the Jasper Cullen we all know and love." She walked to my car opening the door and sliding in. She turned to me as we headed back towards town. "Did your family even know you were coming? Rose didn't mention anything about it. And last I heard you hadn't darkened the town of Rory in ten years."

"No they didn't know I was coming. I blew through this place ten years ago at eighteen thinking I knew it all. Not wanting to be in the tiny town but I'm twenty eight now and I realized sometimes family is what you need not the long open road. My dad isn't getting any younger and that is a big ranch, I came home to help. If he'll let me."

Bella bit her lip and it took everything in me not to bend down and kiss her. Which was just plain insane because I'd only met this woman. Even though I'm sure I saw her around when she was a child. "Well if you drop me off at the diner you can see Rose and then Rose can give me a tire which I'm sure is somewhere I'm sure she just needed the room for all her bags or something." Bella rolled her eyes.

"Sounds like a plan. Get in." I motioned to the other side of my car. We both got in and I headed back towards the town I hadn't been in in ten years. Memories flooding over me. My heart beating faster. As I got closer to the center of town I saw what must be Rose's diner.

A giant sign that said Rosie's café was hanging over the door. I pulled into a parking spot and before I could say anything Bella was out of the car and headed towards the door. I quickly followed her and got through the door just in time to hear Bella yell.

"Rosalie Cullen where in the world is my tire?" I bit my lip trying not to laugh. Rose's blond head popped up from where she was taking an order.

"Oh uh, it's in the back sorry about that I'll just get it."

Bella pursed her lips "yeah you do that then please give me a ride out to my car."

"Wait if you don't have your car how did you get here?"

Bella pointed her thumb behind her. "Got picked up on the side of the road by your wayward brother."

I snorted at that description of me. "My what?" Rose's nose scrunched up the way it always did when she was confused. Then her eyes landed on me and she squealed dropping the notepad and sprinting towards me. "Jasper." She threw her arms around me. Blond hair falling around the both of us.

I held my sister in my arms. Sure we saw each other six months ago when she had came to New York for some conference she was attending and we talked a lot on the phone but still standing her with her in this place I knew I'd made the right choice.

"Rosie." I smiled into her hair as she pulled away.

"Do mom and dad know you're here?"

"Nope it's a surprise for all of you."

"Well how long are you staying?"

"Oh I don't think I'm leaving. I think it's time I came home. Think dad and mom will let me crash in my old room?"

"Always." She smiled. "Alice." She yelled as our Cousin Alice Brandon came out from the back.

"Jasper." She squealed upon seeing me. She hugged me much in the same manner that Rose had.

"Alice I have to take Bella to her car and then It's out to my parents. Keep an eye on the place and close for me please."

"Of course." Alice gave me one more hug as Rose went around the back and where I'm guessing was to the back of the building because the next thing I knew she was striding back through the front door saying the tire was in Bella's car.

Soon after Bella's tire was fixed and all three of us were headed to my parents. As we neared the land I'd grown up on I took a deep breath the house came into focus and I was second guessing myself again. we parked and Rose knew I needed a moment. I got of the car staring up at the house. She must have seen us because my mom came running out of the house screaming and my dad wasn't far behind her I looked behind me Rose and Bella huddled together smiling. And I knew that even if I was unsure that I'd made the right move. I was home, and I was here to stay. Just one problem. Her name was Bella Swan and she was the Sheriff's daughter, who made my heart stop.

A/N so what do you think? Bella's PoV is up next.
