Chapter 3: Leaving
(Jasper's POV)
I sat on the couch flipping through channels. Two years ago Alice and I called it quits. We always knew we weren't mate, but tried to make it work. We're still close friend and I'm still living with the Cullens; however I've been struggling with my control on the major and have been debating on whether or not I should leave.
"Jasper," Esme said sitting by me, "are you alright?" I faked a smile and sent her a wave of calm to avoid speaking. She smiled and walked off to her room and I made my decision.
"You're leaving." Alice said walking into my room. I sighed hoping I would have been able to leave without seeing her.
"Yes." I replied zipping up my bag. Alice sat down on the bed and pouted.
"You're going to Texas." She stated.
"I guess I am." I replied and she stood up.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye?"
"Edward and Bella are on vacation," I said grabbing the keys to my motorcycle, "Rosalie and Emmett are hunting; Carlisle is at work and Esme..." I didn't have to finish that sentence for Alice to understand. Alice walked with me to my bike looking upset.
"I'll miss you." She said and I felt a wave of sadness roll off her. I sighed and sent her a wave of happiness before taking off.
"Hey Major!" Peter shouted while waving from the entrance of my farm house in Texas.
"Peter." I greeted while walking up to him and Charlotte.
"Got a feeling you would be showing up soon," he smiled, "are you finally sick of living with the Cullens?"
"Kind of." I admitted and he nodded understanding.
"You're room is all ready for you Jasper." Charlotte said.
"Thank you." I replied and walked up to my room. I threw my bag on the bed and went to take a shower. The real truth to why I left the Cullens is because I've had a difficult time controlling the Major. I didn't want to put them in danger; especially after all they've done for me.
