Previously on Home,
"You might want to go see who that vistor is." He said. I grabbed his hand.
"Come with me?" I asked him.
"Your wish, is my command." He said. I started to laugh at the corny line from Cinderella. I walked down stairs and was floored by the image in front of me, causing Jasper to run into me. Before I could fall, Jasper's arms wrapped around my waist. "James." Jasper growled out. His arms never moved from my waist, if anything they became tighter.
(A/N: In this chapter you get to see someone just their ass kicked, and a little bit of Bella and Edward bonding. I can't make it seem like Bella hates Edward, but you know. As her sister's boyfriend I imagine that you have to get along with your sister's beau. Anyway, along with the story..)
"What do you want?" I snarled.
"I want you back, Bella." James seemed to be ignoring Jasper's arms wrapped around my waist, said arms were tightening by the second.
"James, I don't want you back. I found someone better." I said. Jasper kissed my cheek and his arms loosened somewhat.
"What that piece of shit?" James said, motioning toward Jasper. I saw red instantly. I made Jasper let go off me. I saw Emmett out of the corner of my eye, getting ready to pound James' face in. I punched James in his jaw. He tumbled to the floor.
"Don't. You. Dare! Call my Jasper a piece of shit you low down hair lipped son of a bitch! You cheated on me with a slut! Then you have the gaul to come here and ask for me back! Did you actually believe that I would go back with a no good lying bastard like you?!" I yelled from above him. I was shaking in rage.
"Don't call Lauren a slut." He growled after he climbed up from the floor.
"SLUT! SLUT!" I yelled right in his face. He rared back as though he was going to hit me. I was silently daring him to with my eyes. I may not be able to kick his ass but there were three men in this room that could and would in a heart beat. And once Charlie caught word of it, I'm sure that James would be either shot or thrown in jail. I found myself being pushed behind Jasper, he'd came to my aid. At first, I was a little offended that he felt the need to step in. Then I was flattered, he didn't doubt that I could take care of myself, he was angry. Well, really he was livid. Either way, he was pissed. He was protecting me. The next thing I saw was Jasper throwing James across the room. To say I was impressed didn't even cut it. Never in a million years could I have imagined Jasper having the strength to throw another human being half way across a room.
"Don't you ever even try to hit my girl ever again, you asswhole." Jasper growled before shoving his fist into James' stomach. Then uppercutted him in the jaw. "Because it will be the last thing that you do with your pitiful excuse of wasted air." He growled pulling James' up of the floor and shoving him out the door. He walked back over to me, fighting for calm. I took his hand in mine, he seemed to calm instantly. When we looked back around the room, the impressed looks on my friends and sister's face was amusing.
"Wow, Jasper, Bella, I didn't know you had it in you." Emmett whistled. I laughed. Jasper still looked tense. I looked at him concerned. He smiled at me, but I could tell that it was forced. I began to lead him upstairs.
"Okay, talk to me." I said as soon as the door closed.
"When he rared back as if he was going to hit you, I snapped. I don't want to see you hurt. And I sure as hell wasn't going to let James hurt you." His grip tightened on my hand. "When you were defending me, I was proud. I'm glad to know that you claim me. At first when you made me let go of you, I was scared about what you were going to do." He said, I knew instantly were he was going. He actually thought that I would return to James. I almsot threw up at the idea. Yes, returning to him was that revulting. Now that I knew what it was like to have Jasper, I didn't want to let go of him.
"Jasper," I said, taking his face in my hands, "I love you and only you. There was no way in hell that I was return to him. He made me so angry, when he said that about you. You are thousands times better than he could even hope to be. I didn't even comprehed the fact that I had just punched him before I started yelling at him. But now I think about it, it felt good. My anger didn't melt away of course. It didn't melt away until you touched me. You calmed me down, Jaz. And for the record, it pleased me greatly that you claimed me as yours. That's all I ever wanted to be." I told him. He kissed me gently, trying to pour what he couldn't say in words into the kiss. I felt it and gave it back. He pulled away and rested his head on my own.
"Bella, I love you so much. I was yours from the day you fell and I caught you." He said. "I was just to scared to let you know. You seemed just out of reach for me. A beautiful crystal that I couldn't touch."
"You always caught me when I fell. Jasper, I can't explain to you how much I love you. But I do know that from the moment I fell into you, from the moment I heard your voice that I was yours completely." I told him. "And nothing, not even some crazy and brain dead, no dick ex, is going to change that. I competely belong to you, heart and soul." He smiled and kissed me again. His arms wrapped around my waist and my arms wrapped around his neck. It seemed like we were trying to pull one another as close as we could.
"I just don't want to lose you." He whispered when we pulled apart. His eyes were so full of pain. "I waited for years to hear you say that you loved me too. I waited for years to know what it feels like to hold you. And now that I know, I don't want to ever let you go."
"You won't lose me, Jasper. Not by my choice anyway." I said, looking into his eyes. "I don't want to lose you either. I feel the same way that you do about it all. I love you, Jasper Whitlock and nothing you can say or ever do will change that." The convinction in my voice sealed it.
"BELLA, JASPER! DINNER'S READY!" Alice yelled. Jasper and I looked at the clock, it was six p.m.
"Hm, dad must be staying at the station late." I pondered out loud.
"Yup." He said, leaning in to kiss me once more. When we pulled away, I looked at him.
"As glad I would be to say here and kiss you, we really need to go eat. I don't think we can survive on kisses alone." I said. He laughed and grabbed my hand.
"About time you two, I began to wonder if I was going to have to send Emmett up to get you." Alice said. Jasper and I laughed. That would have been funny. Emmett probably would have walked in with a hand over his eyes yelling 'are you decent?!'.
"We would have come down." I said.
"Eventually." Jasper added. I smiled.
"Yeah, probably when dinner would have been cold." Edward said.
"Keep on, pretty boy, and I'll throw something at you." I said. He laughed but shut up. He knew that I would do it from his exprience with me in biology.
Edward and I were working on the project that had been assigned to us. Mike kept staring at my chest, I was steadily losing my temper. Edward the poor soul, kept trying to distract me from my raging temper and killing Mike, but he was failing and he knew it. I grabbed the pen from the desk and threw it at Mike.
"I swear, Mike, if you don't stop staring at me, I'm going to hurt you." I said. He swallowed and nodded. Quickly he started back on his assignment.
"You know, I needed that pen." Edward said, I glared at him. But soon we started laughing. For some reason, Edward made it impossible for anyone to be mad at him.
"Tough, you can do without your fifty dollar pen." I said.
"Now, I wouldn't say that it cost that much." He said. The whole school knew that the Cullen's were rich beyond their wildest dreams. Constantly, I teased him about it.
"How much did it cost and be honest." I said.
"At least fifteen." He said.
"Damn Edward, did you really need a fountain pen with your family crest craved into it? I mean honestly! You could have gotten a pen at a local Dollar General of something!" I exclaimed. Edward started laughing. "You have way to much time on your hands. Did you know that, pretty boy." He started laughing harder. After I met him, pretty boy became a permanent nickname.
Jasper hugged me once more before fixing his own plate. I noticed that he had fixed me one too.
"Aww!" Alice cooed. I wanted to smack her. But intead of doing that, I found myself blushing.
"Here you go, doll face." He said. I laughed.
"Thanks, cowboy." I said. He chuckled and pulled my seat out for me.
"God there's so much love in the room I want to barf." Emmett said. Rosalie smacked him in the back of the head.
"Shut up, I think they're cute." She said. Emmett was rubbing the back of his head. Jasper and I began to eat, we kept sneaking glances at one another. Jasper grabbed my hand from underneath the table, slowly he started rubbing his thumb over my hand.
Later at 2 a.m., we were laying up in his room on his bed. Jasper was humming along with the radio. I suddenly felt compaled to hear his voice.
"Jaz?" I asked him.
"Hmm?" I sat up on my elbow and looked down into his blue eyes and brushed a blonde curl off his face.
"You know I'm going to miss you when you go back to college, right?" I dropped my eyes from his. I felt his hand across my cheek, rubbing in smooth circles.
"I know, I'm going to miss you too." He leaned up and kissed me. "You don't know how much.." He whispered when we pulled apart. "But we do have some more days that we can spend together, and I intend to make every day count." He said, kissing me again. I laid my head on his chest and snuggled up closer to him.
"I just don't want you to leave. But, I don't want to keep you from your education either." I said, ingoring the tears that were threatening to come. I knew that it seemed stupid to be crying over it, but it's just when he's gone it feels like he's taken apart of me with him. I'm scared that when he leaves, he's going to forget me. "I'm just going to miss you so much." I whispered.
"Darlin', look at me." I lifted my head up off his chest. "I miss you every minute that I'm away from you. I miss you even when you're in the other room. Bella, baby, you are all I can think about every minute of everyday. The moments we share are going to be forever stored in my heart. I'm going to call you every chance I get, just to hear you beautiful voice. I keep that picture of you with me always, so when I find myself missing you, I can take it out and look at that picture. Sure, it's not as good as the living breathing thing, but it reminds me that you are real. Sometimes when I was in college this semster I found myself tracing your face, everything about you. I just wanted to see you again." The tears were now out, I couldn't keep them from falling. His words were so sweet and full of love that I couldn't control my reaction. He truly had every ounce of me.
"Jasper, I love you. So very much." I cried. He kissed me once more, I found myself melting into it. I buried my head into his chest and let the rest of it out, he laid there stroking my hair and kissing my head.
"Bella, I love you. More than I can ever explain. I'm not going to let anything come between us. When you get out of highschool, I'm going to ask your father for your hand in marriage." I gasped. We'd only been dating for a day and well the early morning. "I know that it seems fast, but I've waited for so long to have you." He said, looking down at me. "Will you have me?" He asked. "When I ask will you say yes?" I threw myself at him and kissed him with everything in me. When I pulled away, I was looking deep into his eyes.
"Of course, I'll say yes. And of course, I'll have you." I said, kissing all over his face. He claimed my lips before I could claim his.
(A/N: A Jasper's point of view of the last three chapters will come soon. Ideas are welcome.)
