(A/N sorry I haven't updated on this story in a few days, got sidetracked on my other story, lol.)
When we got there, everyone was waiting for us in the dinning room – minus Bella. I sat down in the chair next to Jasper. Tonight, we would be discussing how to fake my death. It would be hard, because some people around here knew me. Only the people from my agency and that detective, but still. So I would have to style my hair differently, again. And Alice had already gotten me to improve my wardrobe beyond what I would normally call normal. Which was a good thing. The only hard part was coming up with a way to fake my death.
"I think we should have your truck crash off a cliff, and into the water." Emmett suggested. I snarled. "That truck is valuable to me. There is no way I would do that." I told him. He smiled. "Easy little sis, it was only a suggestion. And we could make you a bigger, better truck." He suggested. I thought about it. "No, I have a car at my old house that I can go up and get. I wouldn't mind that one going over a cliff." I said. Everyone nodded. "Would that work Alice?" I asked, knowing that she would know. She stared off for a minuet, but then nodded. "Jasper will need to start working on his acting skills though." She said and laughed. I laughed with her. "And imp sorry Prue, but we just might need to change your name to something different. For when we are in public, ya know." She said. I sighed. "Alright I guess. Give me a few days to think of a new name though… that might take some getting used too..." I said trailing off. "So it's settled then? I get to drive Prue's car off a cliff on Friday?" Emmett asked with a wide grin. Everyone began to laugh, "Yeah, sure sure Emmett, if you want to." I told them.
We all chit chatted about the little details until it was time for me to take Jasper to school. We rode his motorcycle to my house so we could take it with us so that way he could get home from school. I had to be at work in a few hours, and I wouldn't be able to pick him up after school. He had a very nice motorcycle, and for some reason, he decided to ride it without a shirt on. That's right ladies, Jasper Hale, decided to ride a motorcycle, in the rain, without a shirt. I was at a loss for words.
He picked the motorcycle up with one hand and put it in the back of my truck. I decided to wear what I was wearing already, and climbed into the driver's side. "When do you get home from work?" he asked me when he got in the truck. "Around 6, then I'm going to go get the car from my old house so that way Emmett can have his fun on Friday." I said and chuckled. Emmett was going to have a field day.
"Would you like me to go with you?" he asked me. I nodded. "I would really like the company. It's a long drive." I sighed. I didn't realize I would be visiting the cottage so soon. It would just bring up some memories that I would rather not have brought up. I missed my dear old Ben too much still. But I would tough it out. Had to get ready for an entirely new life, hopefully a life that I will love. Jasper nodded, assessing my emotions. "You don't want to go back to that house…. Why?" he asked curiously. "I had a companion, a human companion, and he died not too long ago. He left me everything in his will of course, and I'm going to get one of the old cars that runs but neither of us ever drove." I told him. He nodded again. "If it's going to be hard for you… we can have someone else go get it." He told me. I shook my head. "No, I will be fine." I told him and tried to smile. We were near his school now, and everyone turned to stare at the loudness of my truck. It didn't bother me much.
"So am I walking you to class?" I asked with a teasing grin. "Yes, I just must show you off to the few people I actually talk to around here. They are Vampires, of course. Small world." He chuckled. I laughed with him. What a small world indeed.
So we got out, and I 'helped' him lift the bike out of the back of the truck, and he set it down and parked it. "It will be fine right here I think." He said with a smirk, good thing he had put his shirt back on too. That would only be to distracting. He grabbed my hand and pulled me forward. "Come on babe, time to meet the infamous friends of Jasper Hale." He grinned at me. I grinned right back. He was so easy to be around, and I almost found myself getting lost in his eyes. I had to look away, no one human had good enough balance to look at someone and not trip over things as they walked.
A whole bunch of humans stared at us, some in envy, some in wonder, and some with hatred clear in their eyes. Both the guys and the chicks had these looks. I just laughed to myself as he and I walked up to some tables, clearly where he and his friends met before their classes. "Hey everyone." Jasper greeted these new vampires. I was rooted in my spot. There was no way in hell this was happening. Why didn't he tell me before that he knew someone named Leo? Oh I was going to kill him for this. "Prue? Prue what's wrong?" Jasper asked. All I could do was stare wide eyed with horror over his shoulder. I was met with the same horror in Leo's eyes, and then Jasper met the connection. "Oh no…" Jasper said. "I am so, so sorry. I didn't, I didn't know… I didn't think… oh god Prue!" He said and began chasing after me. I took to running human pace back to my truck. I could not stay there another minuet.
"Go to class." I murmured, trying to keep my hands from shaking while I got the keys out of my purse to unlock my truck door. Jasper grabbed my by my shoulders and pulled me around to face him. "Damnit Prue, you can't run from everything." He said. I looked up at him, hurt. I thought he would understand. For the first time in a very very long time, I wanted to cry. But being a vampire: I couldn't. "I'm not running from you." I said quietly. "Though at the moment it seems like a good idea." I whispered. I could see the hurt flash across his face. "I thought you would understand." I said, and had to look away from him. "I'm sorry… my temper got the best of me." He whispered too me. I shook my head. "I will see you when you get home." I said, and deliberately pried his hands off of me, and climbed in my truck without a second glance at Jasper.
