Jasper. I haven't seen him since we were with Maria all those years ago. I have missed him so much. He was like my brother and he was my best friend.

He gets up and starts walking towards me,which makes a lot of people look at him curiously. He stands in front of me and I can't help but notice all the stares―which I try to ignore―as he pulls me in to a hug. After a while he lets me go and stands back.

With a huge smile on his face, he says, "Hello ma'am. My name is Major Jasper Whitlock." He bows in front of me.

My smile grows as big as his as I realize he is replaying the first time we met.

Flashback

I was wondering around late one night while coming back from the blood bank. I come across this man with blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. He says,"Hello ma'am. My name is Major Jasper Whitlock."

I smile,but it doesn't reach my eyes because he has a powerful aura floating around him, and Maria is about 3 miles away and I know she will want to change him. I wanted to tell him to run but I knew it would be no use.

"My name is Bella Swan, and do not call me ma'am. I am not my mother."

He smirks and says,"My apologies ma―" he stops mid sentence when I glare at him.

I found it odd when he didn't feel threatened by my presence. When I glared at him his heart didn't even skip a beat.

I knew Maria would reach us in seconds.

I barely had time to say,"I'm sorry."

He looked confused for a moment but it didn't last long before she bit him and he started screaming.

Flashback

"My name is Bella Swan, and do not call me ma'am. I am not my mother."

His smile widens,which I would have though impossible, as he realizes that I am playing along.

A few humans cowered away at the sight. He smirks like last time and repeats,"My apologies ma―"

He stops when I glare at him, but my smile soon returns. Then, just as quickly as it came, my smile disappears when I realize what my next line would've been. He notices my expression and pulls me in to another hug.

"I am sorry Jazzy."

"Bells,you have nothing to be sorry for and you know it."

I start to interrupt him but he beats me to it.

"Isabella Marie Swan. You and I know damn well there was nothing you could have done. She would have tracked me down to the ends of the earth. You have got to stop blaming yourself for this."

I hear his family intake a breath when he cussed.

I can see why; Jasper never cusses in the presence of a lady.

It doesn't faze me, though, because I have heard him say some words that would make a sailor blush.

I can't look at him in the eyes. "But Jasper,I just stood there.I could have done something."

"Isabella, that's enough. She would have killed you if you tried, and in the end I would still have been turned. You are the reason why I stayed sane all those years."

"Jasper. You know there was no way she would have killed me."

"I know. But there was no way you would have killed her."

I look up because I know that he is right, and he smiles at me. Then the smile turns one of a villain when they are going to try to take out the hero.

That's when I notice my surroundings; everyone is looking at us.

Out of nowhere, I get this burst of confidence and say,"What are y'all looking at?" My southern accent seeped through. All of them immediately look down. Our conversation must have been about a couple of seconds to the, but that was still enough time to start rumors.

I am appalled at myself.

I am normally so nice to these humans. Why would I say that? Jasper motions for me to walk with him,and on the way back he starts whistling. Hmph. Jazzy never whistles.

I gasp when I realize what he did. I hit him on the arm, not hard or else I would have exposed us. I hiss, "Jasper, I am soo getting you back for this. To be honest I am shocked," I add, feigning surprise."I thought you were the perfect southern gentleman."

As we sit down he says,"Normally I am,but this time I couldn't resist. You usually keep your fog 'stuff' around you at all times, and if you remember it has only happened one other time. I remember it like it was yesterday." He smiles wickedly at me.

"Don't speak of it, Jasper Whitlock, or I will make your punishment worse." It starts to rain. Now he knew I was serious.

"Ok Bella, I won't say anything. You just need to calm down, ok?"

"Calm down Jazzy, I am in more control of my powers than I was back then." I say with a role of my eyes and the rain turns to a mere drizzle. "The one thing I miss about the past is that I didn't have to wear these stupid contacts"

"Speaking of which, you are going to have to change them after lunch" Jasper tells me and I give him a smile silently thanking him.

I looked around the table to find everyone staring at me. Great.

I look at Jasper and his apologetic eyes are covered slightly by his honey colored hair. He has his arm around a girl that would well resemble a pixie; there's no other way to put it. She has black hair that goes down a little past her ears and spikes at the end. She looks like she is hyped up on sugar and caffeine all the time but since she is a vampire I have no idea where she gets her energy.

She is sitting next to a man the humans probably think is on steroids. He has his arm around a blonde girl that most girls in the school are probably envious of. She has the same color hair as Jazzy. She could definitely be on the cover of Vogue.

Sitting next to her is a boy that is unbelievably gorgeous, but that opinion is gone when the first words out of his mouth are, "Why do you hunt humans?"

My head whips around to Jasper and I have a you-got-to-be-kidding me look.

"We don't hunt humans," Blondie adds, while the burly man next to her nods in agreement.

"Are they seriously judging me right now Jasper? I have been at this table for all of two seconds. I haven't even had time to introduce myself." The rain starts pounding harder and harder with each passing second.

"Bella, they would not be judging you if they knew your story. It's ok we will explain it to them. You just need to calm down." He is now bending down in front of me while looking outside. I stood up and said, "Stop telling me to calm down Jasper. Things are different since they were back then. Take you, for example. We used to have each other's backs, but this day in time that is not the case, is it? You are sticking up for them, and clearly it is not ok," I say as I stand and gesture out the window to where the weather has gotten worse.

I walk to where the boy with the bronze hair is and I hiss in his face, "For your information, I do not hunt humans. I get blood from a blood bank, but you didn't even give me a chance to tell you that did you? Have you ever thought about how animals feel when you feed on them?"

I turn around and as I walk off I hear Jasper tell his new family, "I hope you feel ashamed of yourselves. I promise if you were her you would not hunt animals either. I am going to try and calm her down before something happens."

I am assuming that he was looking outside as he says this. That is just like Jasper; being so dramatic. I walk out in to the forest wanting to be alone. But I know Jasper is right behind me so I send a tree tumbling down in his direction, hoping he will get the message.

What did you think?(:
