Chapter 2: Bella's POV
When I stepped outside, it was a little cold. Wrapping my shawl around a little tighter, I headed over to the barn.
When I walked into the barn, I found my brothers already at work. Jasper was milking out cow Daisy and Emmett was feeding our two horses. Smokey and Diamond.
I started to gather the eggs .
" Hi baby girl." Emmett said to me. That has been his nickname for me as long as I can remember. I loved it.
" Good morning darlin." Jasper said.
" Good morning." I replied.
Then I was quiet for a few minutes. Gathering my thoughts while I was gathering the eggs. I was trying to get the courage to ask Jasper if we really were moving to Oregon and how come we were moving. I finally decided to ask.
" Jasper, is it true we are moving to Oregon?" I asked.
Jasper and Emmett looked like they were both hiding something. They both knew the answer. I am sure Emmett was wondering how I knew about Oregon. He has never mentioned it to me once. Neither has Jasper.
" What makes you think that baby girl?" Emmett asked me.
I looked at Jasper and he nodded his head yes.
" I heard Mama and Papa talking to Dr. Cullen and Mrs. Cullen last night. They were talking about Oregon again." I admitted.
" Baby girl, you know you aren't allowed to evesdrop on other people's conversation." Emmett scolded me.
" I Know. I'm sorry." I said softly.
" I was sleeping and for some reason I woke up and that is when I heard them talking." I said.
" Is it true though that we are moving?" I asked again.
Jasper spoke this time. " Yes darlin, I am pretty sure we are."
" Why, I like it here." I said.
" Well, there is free land out their that Pa can use to farm. It will be better for your health, and possibly ways to earn more money." Jasper explained.
" I don't want to move. I want to stay here." I said.
" I am afraid we don't have a choice in the matter." Jasper said.
" Finish gathering the eggs. I am sure Mama has breakfast ready for us and I am going to walk to school with you and Emmett. " Jasper said.
School. That was the one place I didn't like. Their were these three girls that are mean to me. They have been mean to me since day one. Their names are Tanya, Jessica, and Lauren. They ruled the school.
How should I tell Jasper and Emmett about them? How would they react? I deieceded to tell them.
" I don't want to go to school. I, I am getting picked on by three girls. One of them is the teachers daughter." I finally said.
" How long as this been going on? Why haven't you said anything?" Jasper asked me.
" This has been going on since the first day of school. They say mean things to me and call me names." I said.
I could feel my face getting red. Which means I am going to start crying soon.
Jasper walked over to me and put his arm around me.
"If they are mean to you today. I want you to tell Emmett. Have Emmett tell the teacher what's going on. In the meantime, when I get back from taking you guys to school, I will tell Mama and Papa what's going on." Jasper said.
" Thank you Jasper." I said.
" Your welcome. I am glad you told us." Jasper said.
I began to finish gathering up the eggs when Jasper got on Emmett.
" How could you not know what is going on at school?" Jasper demanded.
" I had no idea Jasper. Honest I didn't. She hid it so well." Emmett said.
" Its true Jasper. I didn't even tell Emmett. Please don't be mad at him." I begged.
" Alright. I want to know if it happens again though." Jasper said.
" Emmett will protect you." Jasper said.
" You bet baby girl." Emmett said.
" Okay." I said.
" Come on, I am sure Mama has breakfast ready and you guys need to get to school. " Jasper said.
The three of us made our way to the house.
We ate a quick breakfast and had some small talk. Then it was time for scoool.
I gave Mama and Papa a kiss and grabbed my books and my chalkboard and my paper tablet, and went to school.
