Chapter 4

Jaspers P.O.V

I made it back to Forks after running non-stop for four hours. It was starting to get dark when I retched home. I headed inside for a shower and to think about what I was going to do about getting my car back. I could go and see Charlie that might cause too many problems and he would ask too many questions as to why my car was down at the gas station.

After I was done in the shower I dressed in jeans and a long sleeved black t-shirt. Leaving my hair to air dry I headed out. Going to one place I knew I shouldn't have. But I had to make sure she was safe.

A ran through the forest reaching Bella's house in minutes. When I got there all the lights were off and the house was quite. There was a slight breeze and I picked up on a scent that I knew but couldn't place from where. It wasn't a vampire though. So that put my mind at ease a little. I scaled the side of Bella's house up to her room.

I tapped on the window several times before she stumbled over to the window and pulled open the curtains and opened the window. I climbed in with ease and stood with my back to her. "Jake. You ok?" she asked. Who the bloody hell was Jake and what would he be doing in Bella's room late at night. I remained quite for a moment. And without thinking I pulled down my hood so she could see that it was me.

I heard he gasp and I spun around to see her reaction. But instead she launched herself into my arms. She began to pull away but I pulled her back and rested my head on the top of hers. She pulled away again and I let her this time. But I trailed the back of my hand down her cheek. Feeling the warmth from her cheek spread through my body. It sent a chill through my body.

She went red and looked up at me "Jasper" she mumbled stepping back and I followed. "What are you doing here?" she asked. I pulled her back and whispered in her ear "I came back for you" knowing the true meaning behind those words. And she went limp in my arms. I held her as close as possible without hurting her. Finally after a while she yawned. I took this as a sign and in one swift movement I had picked her up bridal style and carried her over to her bed and set her down.

She snuggled into her covers and closed her eyes. I sat on the edge of her bed stroking her soft brown hair. She fell asleep not long after. I sat with her again all night making sure that no harm would come to her. I let my thoughts drift off to what Alice could be doing with James. Or why Edward wasn't with them or what Maria had in mind for me let alone Bella.

When I felt Charlie stir and start to awaken a quickly bolted for the window and sat in the branches waiting for him to leave for work before I went back to Bella. He left half an hour later. Once the sound of Charlie's engine had died, I climbed back in thought the window and sat holding Bella while she slept.

Bella started to stir not two hours after Charlie had gone. I quickly moved across the room to sit in the rocking chair I had taken to sitting in. I watched as she rubbed her eyes and stretched. "Morning" I mumbled. I saw her jump as she looked at me. "God Jasper, you made me jump" she got out of bed and walked over to me. i opened my arms so that she could sit in my lap. And she did. I embraced her. Filling my lungs with her floral and lavender scene, this made my mouth water.

We sat like that for a long time before her alarm started going off. She jumped up running across the room n hitting the stop button. Bella stood looking around the room scratching at her head. I laughed at the sight of her confused look. She turned to glare at me before smiling. She picked up her shampoo and conditioner along with a clean set of cloth and made her way for a shower.

She came back fifteen minutes later having showered and gotten dressed for the day. I smiled at her and got up out my chair, grabbing hold of her hand and followed her downstairs. She went into the kitchen to make some breakfast. I watched in fascination as she moved around the kitchen sorting out something to eat.

One she was done making her breakfast she took the seat opposite me and dug into her toast. "So how come your back?", she had to ask didn't she. I honestly didn't know myself. "well" I started to say but couldn't find the right words.
