"I'm home Charlie!" I looked in the living room and saw him sitting on the sofa glued to the ESPN.

"Bells, you didn't go to school today. That's not like you to skip. Anything going on I should know about" He gave me a fatherly authority filled look.

"No dad, I just slept in late because I didn't feel so great. I started feeling better around 4 and school was already out so I went to hang out with Jasper. He gave me the homework and notes I missed so don't worry. I'm going to work on those now. Night dad."

"Night Bells. See you in the morning." He turned back to the game he was watching and started yelling at the sports broadcaster. I just laughed quietly and walked upstairs to my room. I sat down and turned on my ancient computer. While I waited for it to load, I looked for a good book to read. I picked Wuthering Heights. I've read it at least 30 times now but it never gets old. I looked in my inbox and found an email from Renee. I started replying to her email, she got antsy and worried if it took me too long to reply.

I wrote her a lengthy email telling her about school and my friends and everything going on in Forks. I didn't mention the break up though because she would get all motherly on me and start worrying and calling non-stop. I figured she didn't' need anything other than her own problems to worry about. I guess Phil broke one of his bones again. When I finished I sent the email and turned off my computer. I set my book on the desk, marking my page, and grabbed some pajamas and my toiletries and walked into the bathroom.

I brushed out my hair, brushed my teeth and changed. I threw my dirty clothes into the laundry basket noting that I needed to do laundry soon, and walked back into my room with my toiletries. I put them away and grabbed my book off the desk and walked over to my bed. I got underneath the covers and curled up and started reading about Heathcliff and Cathy.

I looked up at the clock noticing I had about 5 minutes before I was due at Bella's house. I was so engrossed in Wuthering Heights that I didn't notice the time. I tossed the book on my desk and scribbled out a note to Alice telling her that I would be at Bella's to help her get to sleep. I jumped out of my window and ran to Bella's. I climbed up the tree next to her window with ease and sat on the branch watching her read her book.

She looked so cute snuggled into her pillows all tucked in her blanket with her book. I chuckled slightly when I saw she was also reading Wuthering Heights. Her window was half open but I didn't want to startle her or anything. I gently tapped on the window trying not to startle her. She jumped a little but when she looked up she smiled when she saw that it was only me. I pushed the window up the rest of the way and climbed through her window into the room.

"Good evening Miss Bella." I smiled at her and sat down at the foot of her bed.

"Hello Jasper. Why do you keep calling me Miss Bella?" She smiled at me when she said it and I was a little taken aback with her straight forward question. None the less I answered it like the gentleman I was.

"Well Miss Bella," I put emphasis on the Miss that time. "I call you that, because I was born in Texas and I was raised with manners. It's only proper and respectful to call people Miss, Mrs. or Mr. Does it bother you? Me calling you Miss Bella I mean." I looked at her, searching her face hoping it didn't bother her. I liked calling her Miss Bella, it fit her.

"No Jasper, it doesn't bother me one bit. I think it's very sweet of you and I was just wondering is all." She honored me with one of her dazzling smiles then. That girl has one gorgeous smile, I thought to myself.

"Well Miss Bella, I am here as promised to help you fall asleep." She lay down and got comfortable then looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I took that as my hint to lie down and get comfortable as well. I chuckled as I kicked off my shoes and lay down beside her. I propped myself up on my elbow so I could look at her. She had the most gorgeous hazel eyes I had ever seen. I swear I could stare into her eyes for hours. Get a grip Jasper! I scolded myself in my head for thinking such things.

"Jasper, thank you for coming back tonight."

"No problem darlin'. Like I said last night, whatever you wish, I will try my hardest to get it for you."

She sighed a sigh of contempt and looked at me. "You said this morning that you got hot. If it'd make you more comfortable you can take off your shirt if you'd like. Oh, your Texas shirt is in the laundry. I'll wash it and get it back to you as soon as I can."

I chuckled at her comment and it surprised me that she didn't blush one bit when she said I could take off my shirt. I shrugged out of my shirt throwing it across the room onto her desk chair.

"Is that better Miss Bella? As for my Texas shirt, you can keep that as long as your little heart desires."

"Good. Because it smells like you and it's comforting" She sighed again and snuggled in close to my chest closing her eyes. I slid my arms around her and pulled her tight against me.

"Your wish is my command, my sweet Bella."

I gently kissed the top of her head and sat there for the rest of the night watching her sleep. She was so peaceful when she slept. Or at least she was until her nightmares started.
