Jasper's POV:

Alice is all over Edward now that the two of them are together now. Bella has moved on from Edward and is raising her son with Jacob on the reservation. I am revolted to see the woman I have loved for one hundred years just drop me like a hot potato for the guy I called my brother. The weather outside is perfect right now for me to take a long walk before the bell for the end of lunch happens. As I walk past the front office, I catch the smell of the Texas Blue Bonnet and it stops me in tracks. I looked into the office to see a teenage girl standing at the front desk with her mother and she is sad. She has curly blonde hair with the tips of her hair dyed black to give her a slight Gothic edge.

"Here is your daughter's schedule for the rest of the year and here is the map of the school. We are currently having lunch right now, so she can walk around the building to get a feel for it," the secretary said to the girl and her mother. I quickly acted like I was trying to open a locker when the girl turned around and walked out of the office.

"Baby, please talk to me about all of this," the girl's mother begged.

"You moved me after dad died in the bombing in Kabul in the middle of the school year and expect me to talk to you like this is just another move for dad? We have to live with your old friend from high school until we can afford a house. Just leave me alone and go find a job," the girl said as she turned and walked down the hallway.

"Evelyn, come back," the girl's mother said. I walked after the girl to see she was heading outside to stand in the snow. Her hair falls down her back in a braid and she is wearing a Jack Skellington hat. Her backpack is a simple one with pins from different places in the world and the country. Evelyn turned and jumped when she saw me standing not too far from her.

"Are you stalking me on my first day here?" Evelyn asked. I smiled as I took a few steps closer to her.

"No, I overheard the argument you had with your mother and thought you would like someone to talk to and show you around the school. I am Jasper Whitlock Hale by the way," I said with a smile and my Texas twang rolling out of my mouth without me thinking.

"I am Evelyn Williams," Evelyn said as she pulled out a bottle of water and a pill bottle. She pulled out a pill and swallowed it with a quick swig of water. "You sound like you are from Texas from the accent I heard a minute ago. What part are you from?"

"Houston is where my parents adopted me from," I said. Evelyn nodded and faced me to show me a little scary thing. Her face had a large scar running down the left side of her face.

"I see you staring at it and you can stare as long as you want," Evelyn said. I shook my head as I put my hands behind my back and smiled at her. "This is what keeps me from making many friends ever since my house burned down."

"You look sexy with that scar on your face, if I do say so," I chuckled. Evelyn blushed and looked down at the snow. I smelled Bella coming over with Jacob and I turned to see she had her son with her.

"Hello Jasper, I see you met my friend," Bella said as she walked over to us. Jacob kept a close eye on me as I nodded a greeting to the two of them. Evelyn walked over to Jacob and punched his playfully as if they had been friends for a long time.

"How are you doing, Bella?" I asked. Bella adjusted her son on her hip and let a small sigh.

"I would be better if this little man would stop being mean in daycare and not bite people because they take his stuffed wolf," Bella said as she looked at her son. I smiled and looked at Evelyn to see that her emotion had changed just from our five minute conversation.

"We have to get back to Charlie's to let Jason take a nap," Jacob said. Evelyn followed Jacob and Bella back Bella's new Chevy truck in the student parking lot. I waited until I could no longer see the truck before I went inside to finish the rest of the school day.

Esme smiled at me as I pulled out some cranberry juice from the fridge and went to my art room. It was a little odd to feel her feeling proud of me for no reason at all. Carlisle was at the hospital until later tonight and I was perfectly fine with that. Emmet chased Rosalie down the stairs to his weight room with soft laughter trailing them as ran as fast as humans. I heard Alice and Edward talking about something really important to them. The moment I closed the door to my art room, I let out a long sigh of relief and went to my unused canvas. All the other paintings in the room were of the forest outside from my balcony window. I picked up my paintbrush and started to paint the pair of eyes that have somehow mesmerized me and made me feel like I am floating on air. Someone knocked on the door just as I finished the second eye and I turned to see Esme standing at the door.

"You are painting something new today," Esme said. I smiled at Esme, I have seen her as my mother ever since I joined the Cullens. She walked over to me and she looked over my painting of the eyes. "These eyes must belong to a human girl to have such beautiful hazel eyes."

"These eyes have made me feel like a completely different person, mom," I said. Esme put her arm around me and she gave me a quick squeeze.

"I want to see the end product once you are finished," Esme said as she walked out of the room. I waited until she closed the door to finish painting the gorgeous face to go with these gorgeous eyes.
