Chapter 2
Talks with Jasper
Flashback:
Jazzie, can we talk please?-Bella
What happened? :/-Jazz
I'll tell when we're face 2 face-Bella
Meet u the tree in 5-Jazz
Already there-Bella
Jasper pretty much came running. He was always there when I needed to talk…most would think that I would talk to Alice (or any girl for that matter). But for me Jasper is that person that I can always come to and always knows what to say.
"Bell, what happened?" he asked really worried.
"He left...he left me." I said finally allowing the tears to overcome me.
"Oh, honey…come here."He was silent for a few minutes just letting me hug him drenching his shirt in tears, pulling me close to him, "do you know why?"
"He-He said-he….was done. I-I tried to ask what I did w-wrong-and-and he just walked away! He didn't even look back! What am I going to do?" I kept stuttering and repeating words in between my sobs. I could barely talk. I was a mess.
"You're going to sit here with me so I don't do something stupid…which would probably have an end result of me and Emmett going to jail. You're going to talk, cry, or whatever it takes. I'm here and I care about you, you're one of my best friends and I will do anything I can for you. If that means sitting here all night while you cry on my shoulder then that's what I'll do."Jasper said firmly. And that's how for two hours I remained in Jasper's arms crying my eyes out. His phone rang a few times and I'd tell him to answer it, but he would just tell me that I was more important than a phone call and that Alice wouldn't have a problem with him ignoring her calls to take care of me in this state.
End of Flashback
Jazz and I walked around the campus until we made it to our spot; we had found it last year during our first semester. I, at the time, was having problems with my now ex-boyfriend…which, of course, was a topic of many of our discussions last year. We always come here to talk now; it was one single bench that sat beneath the only weeping willow tree on campus.
"Okay Bell, what is it that has you down and out?" God, he knows me way to well.
"I'm not sure that I even know what it is." I said sighing, sitting down Indian style.
"Well, what do you know?"
"I..I don't know. I guess I just kind of feel kind of left out or I guess you could call it a fifth wheel. I don't know what I'm saying," I paused to collect my thoughts, "Really I think it's weird, like I'm out of place. Do you get what I'm trying to say?"
"I get it you miss him, Bell."
"No I don't, I don't miss him."
"Bella, you can lie to everyone, hell you can even lie to yourself if that's what you want to do, but you know you can't lie to me, I know that you know you miss him. He was very important to you, you two were together for quite a while, you were intimate with him, the only person you have been with, and you're going to miss him. Also it's going to feel weird because it used to be three couples and now its two couples plus one, I know."
"We weren't intimate, close, but I wasn't ready. Oh, and thanks, I just thought I was a fifth wheel I didn't need it proven," I said sarcastically rolling my eyes.
"Calm down, what else is wrong Bell?" Damn he knows me almost as well as I know myself.
"Nothing, just that, nothing else." I said nervously, trying to flake off the question.
"Stop lying to me. I can see it in your eyes, just tell me what else is wrong so I can talk to you about it Bells!"
"Self conscience," I whispered so softly that he had a hard time hearing it even though he had leaned into me.
"What are you thinking? That because he left that no other guy will ever want you?" He asked me as if I was mad.
"Something like that, I mean, I just can't get it out of my head. I can't figure out why he left, I've been thinking about it almost all summer. I can't help but wonder if it was something that I did or didn't do, like if I changed something in myself that would have made him stay."
"Bells, you are beautiful and amazing in your ways and someone will see that,"
"In my ways?"
"No, I didn't mean it that way," He said sheepishly, he rushed to improve his answer, "In all honesty you're hot Bell. You've got beautiful hair and eyes. Well, eyes that can't hide a damn thing, at least not from me. But you like riding your motorcycle, baseball games, you are an amazing person and any guy would be lucky to have you, he's the dumb ass Bells. You will find someone, I don't know when, but I promise you that you will."
"Thank you, Jazz you always know what to say and just what I need to hear…even if it's not true," I hugged him. As we release each other I got a brilliant idea. "Jazz, speaking of baseball, the Indians are in town tomorrow! You, me, and Em. First pitch. 7:05 pm. Let's do it!"
"That sounds like heaven to me. Balls. Beer. Hotdog. Seems mighty damn fine to me," He laughed lightly punching my shoulder. We stood up from our bench with his arm around me and walked back to the dorm room. When we made it, I was faced with questioning looks from Alice and Emmett. I smiled and sat beside Emmett laying my head on his shoulder wrapping my arms around his waist. Sometimes a girl just needs her big brother for a hug or to kick someone's ass…and that someone better never show up again.
