Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight!
Note: This was originally two chapters, but I changed it to one to give you a Bella's Pov in the next chapter. This is not officially a Bella X Jasper story! Bella will in the end remain with Edward, but there will be some Bella X Jasper moments as well as many more OC x Jasper moments. Enjoy!
The rest of the night, Edward doesn't even speak to me. When it is time to go home, Jasper volunteers to take me, wanting more time with my bright attitude. I had told them all I was tired, but the truth was, I wanted time with Jasper. I wanted to talk with him, and say the things I had wanted to. But at the same time, I didn't ever want to ruin the new forming friendship I had with him.
He leads us to the garage and asks me to pick a ride, motioning to the many vehicles inside the garage. I smirk. "Never ask a southern gal to pick the ride." I reply, my own voice shinning through. His face forms a slight smirk as well, watching as I look over the cars before my eyes land on the silver motorcycle. "Got a spare helmet?" I ask, grinning at him. He tosses me his, and I slip it on.
It takes only a second for him to mount the bike. It takes me just a bit longer to climb on behind him and wrap my arms around his waste. He tenses for a moment, before relaxing and turning out of the garage, onto the winding road to take me back to Bella's.
The ride is quite, besides the purr of the bike, and we make it home quickly, Jasper having obviously gone over the speed limit. The cruiser is gone when we arrive, and I quickly assume Charlie had to work late. Pulling the helmet off and standing, I look at Jasper. "Stay with me." I whisper. "They are going to send me back as soon as they can... so... stay with me." He frowns, looking at me as if he wants to but something is holding him back. "I...I can't. It's not safe enough for me to be alone with you that long." I shake my head, and let out a throaty chuckle. "Jasper, without the others here, there is no extra bloodlust. Just yours. Stay. Please." He sighs. "Let me hide the bike. I'll be back in a few moments." I nod, and watch him disappear with the bike.
Turning, I make my way into the house and to Bella's room. I peel my clothes off of her body quickly, and throw on boy shorts and a tank top instead, relishing in the new found comfort clothes.
True to his word, Jasper arrives at the window only a moment later, and knocks softly, a smile on his face. I walk over to the window and pull it up, grinning at the honey haired vampire. "Come in, oh godly one." I say with a giggle. He raises an eyebrow at me. "Godly? Hey now ma'am. That's not lady like to be flirting with someone much older than yourself." I let out a giggle again. "So? You're a vampire. It doesn't matter." I plop down onto the bed, and he shakes his head at me. He stays by the bed, not wanting to sit on the bed beside me. I giggle. "Southern gentleman nature kicking in?" He chuckles a bit and slowly sits beside me. "I suppose, but I am from times where this in itself would be scandalous." I giggle again, my own voice coming through as I begin to speak, "Of course major, but after some time with Maria and Alice, I would have assumed that would wear off." His smile fades when I mention that devil woman, and I instinctively reach over and take his hand. Strangely, I feel as if a spark has gone through my body from his. Looking up to his face, I notice his eyes have darkened a shade or two.
A moment passes before I release his hand with an awkward smile. "Sorry. I just... I didn't wanna see you upset. She isn't worth your pain. She should have died a long time ago. If I saw her I'd set the bitch on fire." He lets out the most beautiful laugh I had ever heard. "There we go..." I smile at him, trying to force my happiness and adoration at him. He leans slightly closer to me. "You said we would have left because of the party... why? What would have happened to make us leave?" My smile falls. "Jasper..." I sigh, knowing he wouldn't give up. "She would get a paper cut, which if that wasn't bad enough, Edward reacts to the situation by throwing her back into a glass table. You of course, feeling the bloodlust in the room, try to attack. After that, Edward makes the family leave town." Jasper's face is back to a frown by now as well, and I once again reach over to take his hand. He lets me, and I send out comfort to him. "It didn't happen though. It won't happen now. I promise you that."
Suddenly he stands, and looks up the window, my hand falling back to my lap. "What else would happen? There is more, I can see it in your eyes." I nod slowly, and scoot myself back so I am comfortable against the headboard. "After y'all leave.." My Texan accent begins coming out thicker than I mean for it too, and his eyes darken again. "Laurent comes to town as favor for Victoria, and ends up attacked by the wolves. Jacob becomes a wolf as well, falling in love with Bella." Jasper's jaw is clenched, and arms firmly at his sides. "Eventually Bella goes cliff diving at La Push, Alice sees this, but doesn't see her come back up, making Edward believe Bella is dead. Edward goes to the Volturi to die, and Bella and Alice go after him." Jasper nods curtly, a small motion to tell me to continue the story. "After that, Bella is grounded for a while. Victoria hasn't given up however, and still wants revenge for James. She comes to distract you, meanwhile her partner Riley is making a newborn army to kill you all."
"With help from the wolves, all is well. The Volturi do show up, and Jane makes a threat to tell Caius about Bella still being human. Who knows if she does? In the end that works out fine, and Bella and Edward get engaged. Then... after their wedding... comes the next oh so wonderful road block... Bella becomes pregnant with a half vampire child." Jasper turns instantly at that, and stares at me with wide eyes. "It's fine Jasper. She lives, and so does the baby. Beautiful Renesmee." Jasper nods, holding back any questions he has for the end. "However, later Irina comes for a visit and sees Renesmee, and reports her as an immortal child to the Volturi, causing need for both sides to find witnesses. In the original timeline, you and Alice would leave soon after, not coming back until the Volturi has arrived, with proof that the Volturi would ultimately lose. As well as another half vampire." I watch Jasper's Adam's apple bob as he swallows back venom before turning to look at me. "So all of this can be avoided?" I nod. "All you would need to do is find Victoria before she sends Laurent and find Riley before he completes the army. If you can do that, then pretty much everything will be avoided except the Volturi coming for Renesmee. That may happen either way."
My eyes drift down to my hands, folded on my lap, mind wandering and wishing I could stay. I didn't want to take over Bella forever, but I wanted a way to be with this amazing vampire family. The family I knew better than my own. "I'll tell the family. This will be avoided." He slowly comes forward and sits on the bed again, keeping his pace slow, almost as if he doesn't want to scare me away. "I want to find some way to stay... so badly. I want to be here, but I also don't want to take over Bella's life." I whisper, looking up at Jasper, a tear sliding town my cheek. "I know darlin'. I want you to stay too. I've taken a liking to you, but we all know that ain't your body. Otherwise... you wouldn't be going anywhere." He's still tense, and I can almost feel his sadness. He truly liked my companionship. "Back home... I always wanted to come here. To leave my life and live like Bella. A more exciting, romantic, vampire life. I used to always be into the paranormal, ghosts, witches, vampires. I would read Dracula and Goosebumps all the time when I was younger, and as I got older, it changed to The Drake Chronicles, and Twilight Saga. The Twilight Saga is what brought me here. What gave me an interest in you. And an interest in the possibilities of other kinds of vampires. I used to think being Dracula would be cool... then the twilight saga showed me a new kind of vampire, though I always thought the sparkling made you more like fairies, but all the same, it is also very beautiful."
My words hang in the air a moment before Jasper speaks. "Beautiful? More like a curse. But I suppose it is better than burning in the sunlight. Garlic, crosses, stakes, all have no effect. I would much rather have the life I have now, than the life of Dracula." I nod. "I agree. A much better life."
My eyes begin to droop, as I feel a wave of lethargy hit me. I knew it was Jasper, sending me calm, lethargy, and happiness. He wanted to help ease the pain coming with knowing of my departure soon. Nothing would help though. As soon as I arrived home, I would feel it all over again. "Jasper... promise me... if you ever find a way to see me again... don't let me go..." I whisper, as I let Jasper push me into sleep.
The morning sun awakens me. Jasper is gone by the time I open my eyes. I look over at the clock, which reads eight in the morning, almost to the minute, and stretch. Slowly, my mind catches up with the events of last night, and I feel a stab of depression in my heart. Today I would go see Carlisle for tests, then quite possibly be sent home. A joy I never wished to know.
Taking my sweet time, I shower, dress, do my hair, and even my makeup, before finally leaving the house an hour and a half later. Charlie doesn't question when I tell him I am going to Edward's house, as if expecting it. Which I soon realize, he was.
The trucks loud roar is enough to wake me up and feel the oncoming dread of the situation. I want to stop, turn around, and prolong my stay in this universe, but I know I can't. I know I have to keep moving, so that Bella can live her life. So that Renesmee can be born. So Jacob Black can imprint. I drive, glancing at the radio once but giving up instantly, knowing in such a small town, it's a lost cause.
The drive is over far too fast, and I am sitting in front of the beautiful mansion again. Jasper is outside immediately upon my arrival. His face gives away his sorrow as well, as he attempts for force false happiness on me. Sadly, it won't work. Not today. Not knowing that this day begins the first of who knows how many attempts to send me home.
Carlisle is out next, and puts an icy hand on my shoulder. I sigh, and look up at the elder vampire. "Come inside Chase. Let's get started." I nod, but my head isn't there. I'm too busy thinking of what I'm missing going back. The possibilities.
The first test I'm put through is a general CAT scan of my brain. Carlisle tries to tell me what it shows, but my mind is still imagining the what ifs. What if I stayed and Jasper and I came to grow closer? What if I left but Bella didn't come back? What if I'm stuck here and the family resent me for it?
After the scan I am taken into Carlisle's study. I take a seat beside his desk, and he moves around it, to sit behind it in a all-too-comfortable looking office chair. "Alright Chase. I'd like to ask you a few things. To begin with... what do you last remember before waking up here?" I bite my lip, and try to think back just a few days ago. "Well... if I remember right, I had just gotten in a fight with my mom, about her new boyfriend and went straight to my room. I tried calling my friend Rachael, but she was at a party with her phone off. So I laid down. I remember wishing for the hundredth time in my life that I could be Bella Swan... then I wake up the next morning here. I don't even remember falling asleep." Carlisle nods and smiles faintly. "So you were under stress and wished to come here...Have you tried wishing yourself home? I know that sounds odd... but considering how you got here..." I shake my head. "I can't wish myself home as deeply. You'd need to put me under hypnosis or something for that."
Suddenly he smirks. "That actually might work. I'll keep that in mind." I blink. "What if I can't be hypnotized?" I ask. "Well we can always try. If we have to, we could try Jasper's gift as well, and see if the two combined might send you back. I have a theory that I came up with, with the family last night. What if somehow, you have a gift, back in your world. Something that in our world if you became a vampire, would transfer over?" I shrug. "Not like turning me is an option to bring Bella back. At least not a first option. Even then, I'd have to be trained with it." He nods thoughtfully. "That may be true, but it is a last resort option, and a theory. But if it is true, then hypnosis might be just what we need to access it. Either way, we can wait until tomorrow. Jasper will take you home again tonight. Sooner rather than later. In the morning Edward will come get you." I nod, standing in time with Carlisle, but as we walk to the door, I hug him tightly. "I'll miss this family. I always felt closer to you all then my own, and now after only a few days I have to go home." He hugs me back, and I felt as if he was my father. Though in truth no one could replace him. "Goodnight, Chase." He says, and releases me to Jasper. "Goodnight Carlisle."
