Chapter 3
Bella POV
This day was killing me. It was already bad enough that I had to run in to Mike thrice today, just so he can ask me out. This boy never gives up. I'm really looking forward for school to end. By the time the bell for lunch rang, I tried to eat as slow as I can to pass time. Mike wouldn't even let me take a bite of my pizza without him asking me stupid questions. I was relieved when the bell for 6th period rang. That means that I'm close to dismissal. I had English after lunch and Mike trailed behind me. He kept asking me if I've seen the new romantic comedy movie called Lovers in the Lane, and I told him 'no' several times.
Mike and I headed for English class. When we got there Mr. Banner wasn't there yet (thankfully). The last bell rang, insuring us that class would begin. As usual, Mr. Banner came in one minute late, because he is 'fashionably late' as he once said.
When he started with the lesson, I opened my notebook and started doodling stick figures. I sat near the window and Mike sat behind me. Every minute, he would ask me some questions and I would pretend that I didn't hear him.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure move in the trees. I slowly tilted my head to the direction of the windows. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Jasper was sitting on a branch, staring eye to eye with me. I gave him an are-you-crazy look. He just smiled at me and chuckled. Of course I couldn't hear him. Duh. He mouthed, don't worry. I nodded once. I looked around the classroom to see if anyone was looking. When I made sure no one was watching, I turned to Jasper and gave him a smile. He smiled back.
In less than a second, he was gone. "Miss Swan, would you like to tell me who said this line 'She is abused, stolen from me, and corrupted by spells and medicines'?" he raised an eyebrow at me.
I stood there, not knowing the answer. I looked back outside the window, and saw Jasper, perched on a branch. I bit my lip and gave him a help-me look. Bra, he mouthed. What the fuck? Bra? I think Jasper doesn't know the answer too. Then I realized, Brabantio. I grinned
"Uhh. Brabantio?" I muttered. Mr. Banner nodded and said "Pay more attention!" He went back to writing on the board and I went back to doodling.
When the bell for dismissal rang, I half-run, half-walked to the parking lot. A big smile crossed my face when I saw Jasper, leaning on the passenger's door. Once he saw me, he smiled that sexy smile of his. I started walking to him when someone called my name.
"Bella!" the familiar voice of Jessica Stanley said. I turned around to see Jess hobbling towards me.
"Hey Bella. What's up?" she usually ignores me and I don't know why she's talking to me. I found out the answer when she flashed a flirty smile at Jasper. Jessica slipped an arm through my arm, and started dragging me to where Jasper was standing.
"Hello, doll" Jasper greeted in his accent. Before I had a chance to mutter a hello, Jessica beat me to it. "Hey Jasper. How you doing? Long time no see" For starters, Jasper wasn't supposed to be here, he was supposed to be in college. It was obvious that Jessica was flirting with Jasper (well trying). I had an urge to claw her eyes out.
"Jessica." Jasper nodded in her direction, but didn't even spare her a look. "So Jasper. You want to go hang out Friday night?" Jessica said in her sluttiest tone. That's it. I started getting pissed at her. I don't know why, but I wanted to pull her hair out. I imagined horrible things happening to Jessica in my head. But I got out of it when Jasper put an arm around my waist.
"Thank you, but no. Bella and I already have plans." He said, still not breaking eye contact with me. Jessica walked away mumbling something too low to hear. I realized that Jasper's arm was still around my waist. And let me tell you, my heart rate started to accelerate at his touch. He opened the passenger door and I got in. He walked to the driver's side in human speed because there were people around us.
When he got in, he put the keys in the ignition and the truck roared to life. The drive home was quiet like the drive this morning. None of us bothered to say something for the sake of making a conversation. The quietness was soothing.
10 minutes later, we got to my house. I was about to open the door but he beat me to it. He grinned and so did I. "How was your day?" he opened the front door for me, like the gentleman he is. "It's okay I guess." I went upstairs to put my bag away while Jasper followed behind.
"So tell me, why were you on that tree?" I threw my bag on my desk chair, kicked my shoes off and laid down on the bed. He sat on the edge and I noticed that his eyes were lighter. "Why are your eyes a lighter shade? Did you go hunting today?" he grinned.
"Woah there. Give me time to answer" he ran his hand through his tousled hair. "First of all, I was up on that tree so you wouldn't worry about me leaving. And yes, I did hunt." I nodded. I thought that he was going to stand up, but he surprised me by lying beside me. I raised an eyebrow at him. He shrugged. I faced him and he faced me. He placed a cold hand on my cheek, and I shivered from his touch. He laughed. His smile faded when he traced the dark circles under my eyes.
"You haven't been getting any sleep" he said it not as a question but as a fact. "Yeah. The nightmares keep me up." I furrowed my brow, thinking. I remembered that he didn't tell me why he was here. He ran his thumb on my brow, smoothing it out.
"Jasper?" I asked. He looked at me "Yes?"
"You still haven't told me why you're here." He sighed. It was silent for a long time, until he spoke.
"After your birthday party, Edward told us that we all have to leave. He stayed behind for a few days. Me and the rest went to Alaska. Throughout my stay there, everyone was dull and lifeless. Being an empath, I felt all the emotions that were radiating off them. I couldn't stand it anymore. The dullness and lifelessness, I could stand. But deep, deep down, I felt that they were blaming me. I never wanted to attack you, Bella. The monster got the best of me. So as I was saying, I couldn't stand their emotions, so I ran away. I told Alice to not look for my future." He paused for awhile while I laid there staring at him. I took in all of his beautiful features. The way his hair would brush is eyebrows, the way his lips would tilt up.
"Bella." He whispered, tucking a lock of hair behind my ear. I remained silent. "Bella, I never meant to attack you. Please understand that I never want any of that to happen. I'm so—" I put a finger on his lip to silence him before he got to apologize.
"Jasper." I breathed. "I never blamed you. Don't apologize." I said angrily. He just looked at me as I had seven heads. "How can you forgive me so easily?" he asked. I brushed his hair from his face, and he shivered from my touch, which made me smile.
"Because there's nothing to forgive. I never held it against you. So don't ever ap—" Before I finished my sentence, his lips crashed to mine. At first I was taken aback. But after a second or two, I closed my eyes and started kissing him back, while my heart rate accelerated. A second later, he was on top of me. He deepened the kiss by running his tongue on my bottom lip. I welcomed him by opening my mouth slightly. Jasper's tongue invaded my mouth, and our tongues swivelled together. Edward never kissed me like this before. This was the first time that I thought of him without hurting emotionally.
After a few minutes, I had to pull back because I needed to breathe. When I pulled back, a flash of hurt crossed his face. I thought that he was thinking that I'm rejecting him. I couldn't stand him being hurt so I cupped both sides of his face and pulled him to me. He kissed me back almost immediately. Edward's face flashed through my mind. I still love him. But he hurt me. I pushed all of my thoughts aside, and focused only on Jasper, who was now sending waves of love to me. I sent him my love too.
After a few minutes, he was the one who pulled back. I didn't argue because I needed to breathe. Stupid human breathing. He smiled me a loving smile. He got off of me and lay beside me. "You're tired." He said matter-of-factly. I nodded, not wanting to argue. He sent waves of calm to me. I suddenly felt sleepy.
I cuddled in his chest, resting my lips on the crook of his neck. He buried his face in my hair and eagerly put an arm on my waist. "Jasper." I said. He breathed on my hair. Deep, soothing breaths. "Yes love?" I cuddled closer to him. "Are you going to leave?" I choked, a sob building in my chest. He slightly pushed me back so I could see him.
"I will never leave you, until you want me away." With that, he sent a big wave of calm and I stifled a yawn. He kissed my hair and sang me a song.
Hey Yeahh
I know how it feels to be alone
I know
I know
What is like to be afraid
Scared to face another day
When you needed an angel
To flight to my side
Somebody to save me
From the dark and lonely night
When you needed to
Feel love, feel love
Here in my life
I found you
I found you
Inside I was looking for
A face to hide
then I saw you
Shining right up in my sun
And I knew you were the one
When you needed an angel
To flight to my side
Somebody to save me
From the dark and lonely night
When you needed to
Feel love, feel love
Here in my life
I found you
Hmmm I found you
Your the wind that caries me
My every breath
Every deep
I can see forever in your eyes
When you needed an angel
To flight to my side
Somebody to save me
From the dark and lonely night
When you needed to
Feel love, feel love
Here in my life
I found
I found
I found
Yeah, yeah right to my side
Somebody to save me
From the dark and lonely night
Someday
Dark and lonely night
Right to my side
Somebody to save me c'mon yeah
In the dark and lonely night
At the end of the song, I lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
I woke up with Charlie calling my name. "Bella!" I quickly got out of bed and ran to the hallway. I remembered that I didn't cook Charlie dinner. Charlie was at the bottom of the stairs. "Hey Dad. Sorry I forgot to cook dinner, I fell asleep." I muttered. Charlie motioned for me to come downstairs. I hopped down the steps. "What's up?" I wondered. He walked to the phone. "Jacob left you a message" He went back to the living room to watch the game. I turned on the answering machine and heard Jake's deep voice. Hey Bells, I really miss you. Can you come down here when you're free?
I remembered all about Jacob, my werewolf best friend. It's been a week since I last saw him. "There's pizza in the oven!" Charlie called. I ran up to the stairs and yelled "Not hungry!" I went to my room and closed the door shut. I looked at my alarm clock and it read: 9:17 PM. I unzipped my hoodie and tossed it in the rocking chair. I opened my closet and took off my pants. I put on the first pair of sweat pants that I saw. I picked up my pants and tossed it in the rocking chair.
"Hey! Watch it!" I jumped a little and turned around to see Jasper sitting on the rocking chair. My heart was beating loudly. I leaned on to my closet for support because he scared the shit out of me. He stood up and picked me up bridal style. "I'm sorry." He murmured. He set me on the bed and tucked me under the quilt. He lay beside me and started playing with my hair. I always felt calm when someone would play with my hair.
I yawned. He laughed. "You should get some more sleep." I turned around to face him. "I'm not sleepy!" I said. Actually, I was sleepy. But I was afraid that he would leave. I know that he felt fear coming from me. "Don't worry I ain't leaving" he smiled. He pecked me on the lips and started singing to me the song he sang earlier. I snuggled in his shoulder and gave it a kiss.
I didn't know if I was dreaming or not, but I heard him say: "I love you, Bella" I was really sleepy. I wasn't sure if I was still awake, so I mumbled "I love you too, Jasper" with that, I completely lost consciousness.
Jasper POV
I was leaning on Bella's truck, waiting for classes to end. After a few more minutes, the bell finally rang. I saw people filing out of the building. I patiently waited for Bella to appear. A couple of minutes have passed, and I saw Bella exiting the building. She saw me, and a smile broke through her face. I widely grinned. Bella was making her way towards me but she skidded to a halt. She turned around when she heard someone call her. I noticed that the girl who called her was Jessica Stanley.
"Hey Bella. What's up?" I heard her say. Jessica turned to my direction and flashed me a dirty smile. She slipped her arm around Bella's and dragged Bella to where I was standing.
When they reached me, a bigger grin crossed my face. "Hello, doll" I said in my accent. Before Bella uttered a greeting, Jessica stepped forward and looked up at me through her eyelashes. "Hey Jasper. How you doing? Long time no see." I felt lust coming from her. I was disgusted by the fact that she had the nerve to come up to me and make a move. Then I felt anger coming from Bella.
"Jessica." I nodded in her direction, but I didn't spare her a look. "So Jasper. You want to go hang out Friday night?" I was about to say something when I felt jealousy coming from Bella. To be honest, that amused me. Bella was jealous because of Jessica. I laughed mentally.
I stepped beside Bella, and put an arm around her waist. "Thank you, but no. Bella and I already have plans." I said without taking my eyes off of Bella. Jessica glared at Bella, and I felt an urge to get Bella behind me and protect her from this Jessica.
The Stanley girl turned around and walked away. "Luck bitch." She said too low.
Bella's heart drummed wildly. Cool, I was making her nervous. Like she made me nervous. I opened the passenger door and she got in. I crossed to the driver's side and got in. I fished the keys out of my pocket and stuck it in the ignition, and then the truck roared to life. I drove to Bella's house in the maximum speed of the old truck.
It was quiet during the ride home. I didn't find it awkward, I found it rather comfortable. We reached the house in 10 minutes. I got out of the car and opened Bella's door in quick speed. She grinned and so did I.
We walked up the porch steps and I opened the front door. "How was your day?" I asked, not for the sake of making a conversation, but because I was curious. "It's okay I guess." Bella ascended the stairs and I followed close behind. "So tell me, why were you on that tree?" She threw her bag on her desk chair and kicked her shoes off.
I remembered coaching Bella, earlier today. I chuckled mentally. I sat on the edge of her bed. I was about to answer her question when she fired another question at me. "Why are your eyes a lighter shade? Did you go hunting today?" I grinned at her. She's always so curious. It's like she always have to know everything.
"Woah there. Give me time to answer!" I exclaimed. I ran a hand through my hair. "First of all, I was up on that tree so you wouldn't worry about me leaving. And yes, I did hunt." She nodded for me to go on, but I don't have anything more to say. I turned around and lay down beside her. She seems surprised at my action. She raised one eyebrow and I shrugged.
She turned, so that her back was against the wall. I faced her. I noticed that she has dark circles under her eyes. She hasn't been getting any sleep. I wish I could do something to help her.
I smiled and placed a hand on her cheek and she shivered under my touch. I laughed at her sensitivity, and then stopped, remembering that my skin was ice cold. I felt my smile fade. I trace the dark circles under her eyes
I faced him and he faced me. He placed a cold hand on my cheek, and I shivered from his touch. He laughed. His smile faded when he traced the dark circles under my eyes.
"You haven't been getting any sleep" I declared. The twinkle in her eyes seemed to lessen. "Yeah. The nightmares keep me up." her brow scrunched. She wouldn't be having nightmares if I didn't attack her on her birthday. I ran a thumb on her brow and it smoothed out.
"Jasper?" she said in a tiny voice. I looked at her again, giving her all of my attention. "Yes?" I asked, wondering what was troubling this little beauty. "You still haven't told me why you're here." I was hoping she wouldn't ask that. I sighed. I lay silent, thinking of the correct words to say.
"After your birthday party, Edward told us that we all have to leave. He stayed behind for a few days. Me and the rest went to Alaska. Throughout my stay there, everyone was dull and lifeless. Being an empath, I felt all the emotions that were radiating off them. I couldn't stand it anymore. The dullness and lifelessness, I could stand. But deep, deep down, I felt that they were blaming me. I never wanted to attack you, Bella. The monster got the best of me. So as I was saying, I couldn't stand their emotions, so I ran away. I told Alice to not look for my future." I paused. She wasn't paying attention. She just lay there staring at me, like a blind man who's seen the light for the first time.
"Bella." I whispered, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. She remained silent. I was afraid that she would never forgive me. "Bella, I never meant to attack you. Please understand that I never want any of that to happen. I'm so—" She put a finger on my lip to shut me up. I took in deep breaths, breathing her sweet scent.
"Jasper." she breathed. "I never blamed you. Don't apologize." she said in an angry tone. I looked at her, bemused. How can she not be mad? She is so forgiving. So sincere. So good. "How can you forgive me so easily?" I asked. Before, I never understood why Edward fell in love with this creature. Now I know why.
She brushed the hair that was dangling on my eyes. Her warmth felt so good. I shivered from her touch, and she smiled.
"Because there's nothing to forgive. I never held it against you. So don't ever ap—" Before she finished what she had to say, I closed my eyes and decided to push my luck. I crashed my lips to hers. At first she was shocked, but it wasn't long before she started returning my kisses.
She felt so sweet. Better than anything I've ever tasted. Better than blood. I wanted more of her. In a second, I was on top her. I shifted, so that she wouldn't feel any of my weight. I ran my tongue on her bottom lip, and I felt her mouth open slightly. My tongue entered her mouth. I found her tongue and our tongues swivelled together. This felt so good. I could stay like this forever.
After a few minutes, Bella pulled back. I was upset. Hurt, actually. Now I know what rejection feels like. Before I knew it, Bella cradled my face and pulled me back to her. I kissed her back immediately. I sent her waves of love and I received love from her too.
Minutes later, I pulled back, remembering that she had to breathe. I looked at her, and smiled. I rolled back beside her. I felt her getting weak. "You're tired." I stated. Bella nodded once. I sent waves of calm. In a second, she started to feel drowsy because her eyes were now opening and closing. She cuddled close to me, resting her lips on the crook of my neck while I buried my face in her hair, breathing her scent. I put my arm on her waist. "Jasper." She said softly. I exhaled through my nose. "Yes love?" I asked, my voice filled with compassion.
"Are you going to leave?" she choked. She was about to cry. I pushed her a little so that I could see her beautiful brown eyes. "I will never leave you, until you want me away." I sent her another big wave of calm and she yawned. I kissed her hair and sang her a song.

At the end of the song, she fell asleep almost immediately. A few minutes later, she was mumbling something in her sleep. "Don't leave. Please." She was dreaming of him. I felt hurt because of what she said. My heart ached. I was starting to feel rage building inside of me. "Jasper, don't leave me." When I heard that, I calmed down and felt happy. Pure joy. It's official, I, Jasper Whitlock is in love with Bella.
An hour later, I heard Charlie's cruiser in the driveway. I heard the front door open and close and the tv being turned on. I closed my eyes, and ran away with happy thoughts. This was the closest I can get to dreaming.
A few hours later I heard Bella's dad call her. "Bella!" I jumped up from the bed and hid in her closet. Would her dad shoot me if he saw me lying with Bella in her bed? I smirked. He could try. I'm bullet-proof. I heard Bella bolt out the room. When she left, I got out of the closet and sat on the rocking chair. "Hey dad. Sorry I forgot to cook dinner, I fell asleep" I heard Bella say. I heard Bella's footsteps coming down the stairs. I'm glad that I have extra hearing abilities.
"What's up?" Bella said. I heard Charlie fidget. "Jacob left you a message" Charlie walked back to the living room and I hear the tv turn on. Bella must've turned on the answering machine. Hey Bells, I really miss you. Can you come down here when you're free? I felt a strong wave of sadness from Bella. Then the answering machine beeped.
I suddenly felt jealousy. I wish Bella would miss me. "There's pizza in the oven!" I heard Charlie say. Bella's footsteps ran up the stairs. "Not hungry!" Bella yelled. The door to her bedroom opened and closed. I was still sitting in the rocking chair. She didn't see me because the lights were off.
I was surprised when Bella started stripping. She took off her hoodie and tossed it to the rocking chair. Coincidentally, it hit my face. She opened her closet and took off her pants. Sexy, I thought. The corner of my lip tilted up. She put on a gray sweatpants, picked up her jeans and tossed it to me. This time, it also hit my face.
"Hey! Watch it!" I said loud enough, but also low enough so that Charlie won't hear. She jumped a bit and turned around, her heartbeat like a hummingbird's. I must've scared her pretty bad. I felt guilty. I stood up and swept her up bridal style. "I'm sorry." I murmured. I lay her on the bed and tucked her under the quilt. I lay beside her and played with her hair, and then she started relaxing.
She stifled a yawn which made me laugh. "You should get some more sleep." She turned, her back against the wall so that she was facing me. "I'm not sleepy!" she said stubbornly. Gosh, she's so stubborn. I felt fear radiating from her, and I realized why she's afraid. "Don't worry I ain't leaving." I smiled at her, and pecked her on the lips. I sang the song I sang earlier. She snuggled closer and kissed my shoulder.
She was already asleep. "I love you, Bella." I said. It's true. I really do love her. I love the way she blushes. I love the way her hair falls behind her back. I love the way her eyes would glisten. I love everything about her. She surprised me by saying "I love you too, Jasper." With that, she exhaled. I didn't know she heard me. But I couldn't care any less. I was so damn happy. I'm the happiest man alive. Well, happiest man walking.
I continued playing with her hair and breathed her scent.
