A/N: So I have not been updating my stories for a good minute now. I have been doing a lot of fan-videos during my hiatus from writing so please check them out on my youtube channel. Link on profile.
I think this has been the first time I have been alone in weeks. It seems like such a long time has passed as I make my way into my bedroom. Laundry and homework are the main things on my to-do list today.
Leah and her baby brother, Seth are off visiting relatives and Jacob and Angela have been spending a lot of time together, recently.
Charlie and Billy are off on their three-day fishing trip and I am left to my own devices for the whole three-day weekend since Memorial Day is Monday.
While sitting at my desk chair getting ready to divide the dirty clothes in the hamper, the doorbell rings, glancing at my watch I notice the time.
Running down the stairs I make it to door out of breath but I right myself placing my hands on my knees taking slow breaths, "I really need to work out." I say to myself as I reach for the handle of the door.
"Who is it?" I ask before even thinking of opening it.
"Bella, can we talk? It's me, Jasper."
I release the knob quickly as if it burned my hand. "What exactly do we have to talk about? Is Edward with you?"
"No, no I came alone. No one knows that I am here, Bella." I look at the door skeptically. "Please I just want to talk to you. I need to apologize for-"
I pull the door open in a flash cutting off his sentence. I motion for a disheveled looking Jasper Hale to set inside.
"Jasper you don't owe me anything, let alone an apology."
"But, I tried to-" He begins to say but I cut him off,
"No, the only person in this entire situation that should be apologizing is Edward and maybe your wife, Alice but not you Jasper."
I look at him and he seems shock by my words, "it is in your nature and I was bleeding. You probably would have been able to control yourself if Edward hadn't have pushed me into the wall resulting in more of my blood being exposed to you."
He seems somewhat shocked and relived like I had absolved him of his burden of guilt and fault.
"Thank you Bella" whispers as he turns to leave.
I debate for a second to ask him to stay. To question him about his family and why they allowed him to come and see me; but, then I remember that my life doesn't revolve around the Cullens anymore.
So, close the door behind him and turn heading back up the stairs to my laundry and homework.
