Bella's POV

I was reading through a couple of corny books when Jasper came into the section I was in. I saw that he was carrying a couple of books. I tilted my head and saw that they were civil war books. I smirked at him and he just rolled his eyes.

"You ready to go darlin'?" I nodded my head and headed toward the cash register to pay but Jasper stopped me and grabbed my books and before I could say anything, he had paid for them with the rest of his. He smirked at me when I gave him a glare so I stuck my tongue out at him playfully. As we were walking out of the store, I felt the need to say something to him.

"Jasper, you didn't have to do that. I could have paid for them myself." I said looking up at him. He just smiled and grabbed my hand gently to pull me along beside him.

" Bella, I'm taking you our today to have fun and so that we can get to know each other better. Not so that you can spend your hard earned money from Newton's." As we were walking down the street, I noticed that jasper was breathing easily and was relaxed even though he was holding my hand, he was even gently swinging it! Jasper must have known I noticed his relaxed state "You know, your blood doesn't bother me that much anymore. You should know that after what happened at your birthday, those months that we were away from you I spent working on my control." He said very seriously.

I looked at him with a new light. I stopped suddenly and surprised him by throwing my arms around him. It took him a second to react by placing his arms softly around my shoulders, holding me to him. "I never blamed you for what happened at my birthday, I should have been more careful and not been stupid enough to get a paper cut in front of a bunch of vampires." I said into his chest. We continued walking down the street till we arrived at T.J's (a small diner). We sat in a booth and waited for a waiter to come serve us. I ordered a Greek Salad with a Coke and Jasper just ordered a coffee( that he wasn't going to drink). While we ate, we talked about things that we have in common like music and books. After we were done eating( or at least I was) he paid then we walked outside.

"OK darlin', I'm going to go get the Jeep." He said then went walking down the street toward where we parked the jeep (he had to go at human speed much to his dislike). While I was waiting for him to come back, I just looked at the passing cars. A couple of minutes later, I looked to my left and noticed two guys walking in my direction, then on my right there were two more guys. I didn't really think much of it and went back to looking at the passing traffic.

Suddenly I was pulled from my daydreaming by the pressure of arms yanking me up from my seat. There was a set of hands on each of my arms and a hand over my mouth. I panicked and started screaming through the hand on my mouth and thrashing around trying to get free. They started pulling me away from the diner and toward the alley next to it (and they weren't very gentle). Tears started streaming down my face as I struggled to get away. I didn't know what they wanted but I didn't want to find out. It was amazing that no one noticed a teenage girl struggling to get away from three big men dressed in dark clothes while the other trailed behind us. Finally we got far enough into the alley that it was too dark for any one passing by to notice anything. The one with his hand over my mouth took it off.

"LET ME GO!" I screamed at them trying to glare through my tears. I was more scared than I have ever been, this was even worse than James because then I thought I was going to die, but with these guys I have no idea. I had just enough light that I could see the outline of his face. When he heard me scream, he got a smirk on his face.

"Oh, don't be like that sugar." the other three chuckled at that while I just got more worried because I was starting to remember where I had seen these men before. These were the same ones that had attacked me before, but Edward had saved me from them before they could go this far. He leaned down close to my face and I struggled to get away still, but it was no use. "You got away from us last time, but your little boyfriend isn't here to save you this time. So were going to have a little fun with you". He hissed the last part at me and I cringed away. The other three guys started feeling my chest and I tried to scream, but one of them had put their dirty hand back on my mouth to muffle my screams. I was starting to lose hope when all of a sudden they all stopped and I saw an angel at the opening of the alley.

Jasper was standing there with the most ferocious look on his face. He was glaring at the men holding me and he actually looked like a vampire from the movies. He started quickly walking toward us. As he was coming two of my kidnappers grabbed my arms and one stood behind me with his hand on my mouth (yeah, like that would do much against vampire hearing.) The one who seemed to be the leader stood in front of me as if to block me from view. "Hey, were a little busy here" the one in front of me said to Jasper.

"Get away from my sister!" Jasper growled at the men. I was screaming at him through the disgusting hand to help me because the guy behind me was trying to grind into me but I was struggling too much. When Jasper caught sight of what they were trying to do he ran toward us, not even bothering to keep human speed and ripped the men hands off of me and placed me behind him.

By now then men were afraid of Jasper, he had a murderous look on his face and it was directed right at them. They started running away (I guess that he was projecting). "If I ever see you scumbags again, I'LL KILL YOU!" Jasper yelled at them as they ran. He was breathing heavily in anger when he heard my sobs. I was scared still even though I knew that they couldn't hurt me anymore. I was clutching myself, trying to stay upright when Jasper grabbed me in his arms and held me to him. The coldness of his body calmed as it did when Edward hugged me. I shook in his arms, fear still flowing through out my body. He slowly led me out of the alley to the Jeep that was parked in front of where I had been standing before the incident. Jasper gently lifted me into the passenger side where I saw our books that we had bought earlier. He was still standing in front of me when I realized I had been remembering earlier. He used the pad of his thumbs to wipe my tears away, as he did this I leaned into his cold touch. Jasper pulled me into another embrace and used his power slightly to calm me down. "Shh, it's ok darlin'. Their not going to hurt you anymore." He kept cooing to me till I calmed down. Once he knew I was not going to break down again he shut the passenger door and walked quickly around the front to the driver's side and hopped in. Once we had started down the road, he grabbed my hand and gave me a sad smile, I tried to smile back but it turned out as more of a grimace. We continued along back to the Cullen's, Jasper holding my hand and sending out calming waves the whole time. I was a lot calmer by the time we were arriving into Forks.

"Thank you for saving me Jasper, I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't shown up when you did." I said tearing up again. He squeezed my hand gently and pulled up to the Cullen mansion. He pulled into the garage and turned to look at me as he shut off the Jeep. "Bella, I would never let anything bad happen to you if I had the power to stop it. I was coming around the corner when I heard your scream, I parked as fast as I could and hurried because I could feel their emotions" he said. I just stared at him for a couple of seconds then jumped into his arms and hugged him, again bursting into tears. Jasper carefully picked me up from the passenger side and carried me bridle style into the house, hugging me closely to him the whole way.
