"I should get you home. Its pretty late." I said to Jasper.

"No Its ok. I'll walk, I don't want you driving after what happened tonight."

"Well I don't want you walking home in the dark." I responded.

"Fine. I'll call my brother to come and get me. Ok?"

"Yes." I left the room to give him a bit more privacy as he grabbed his phone from his pocket. I walked downstairs and began to do the dishes from this morning's breakfast.

"Need any help?" Jasper asked.

"No thank you." I turned to look at him. He was leaning against the doorframe. "I do have a few questions for you though. If that's ok?" I said uncertain. He nodded. I turned and shut the water off. I sat down at the island and motioned for him to take the seat next to me.

"How did you know I was at McDonalds?" I asked confused.

"Alice followed you." He said simply. "I'm glad she did." He added.

"Ok question two. Why are your hands so cold? Are you still not feeling well?"

He laughed. "No I'm feeling perfectly fine. I was born naturally cold I guess." He said amused.

Then it was silent. I looked down at the counter, thinking of what to say next. When I looked up at Jasper, he was closer.

"Can I try something?" He asked as he reached out and brushed the hair from my face.

"Sure." I said nervously, not taking my eyes from his. He leaned in and kissed my lips. The kiss was gentle and caring. Then he pulled away quickly.

"I'm sorry. That was uncalled for." A car honked from the driveway. "I'll see you tomorrow." Then he left. I leaned against the door collecting myself. I smiled and walked upstairs. I logged onto my computer at the desk in the corner of my room. I logged onto my email account, I had a few emails from people in Pennsylvania and one from him. Without reading it I quickly deleted it.

I soon became bored. I don't know why but I typed in cold skin, pale skin, and black eyes into Google. I skimmed each site. All with the same word, Vampires.

"He can't be." I said in disbelief. I wiped my eyes and looked again.

"I am." A voice said from behind me. I quickly spun around and saw Jasper.

"How'd you get in here?" I asked, my heart racing inside my chest.

"The window. Just like last night." He said watching for my reaction.

"You were in here last night too?" I asked.

"Yes. It was late of course. You were asleep." He said while walking to the window.

"So your really a vampire?" I asked unsure.

"Yes. My whole family is." He said calmly. "Yet your not afraid." He said.

"How'd you know?"

"I can feel and control emotions." He said calmly like before. I walked over to him.

"Is that why you regret kissing me?" He turned to me quickly.

"I never regret kissing you. I regret a lot of things in my life but that's wasn't one of them." He said seriously. Then he leaned in again and kissed my lips.

"Hazel!" Jack yelled out. I pulled away from Jasper.

"I'm sorry." I quickly ran out of the room and into his room. Jack had tears falling down his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I sat down on the end of his bed. He climbed into my arms.

"Shh. Tell me about the nightmare." I said soothingly.

"You were dead. You had blood all around you and there was a bunch of guys. Me and Kyle were watching through the car window." He cried.

"Well you can see that it didn't happen. I'm right here. Look." I let him down on the bed and stood in front of him, spinning in a circle. "Completely fine." He nodded.

"Will you stay with me until I fall asleep?" He asked quietly.

"Of course." I tucked him into bed and sat down beside him. In 10 minutes he was fast asleep. I walked back into my room and saw Jasper lying on my bed.

"Comfy?" I asked as I got under the covers.

"Actually it is a rather comfortable bed." He laughed.

"I'll take that as a complement." I laughed as well. He turned to me.

"You'd make a wonderful mother. You know that right?" He said looking into my eyes.

"So I've been told."

"Where are your parents?"

"Working. They are never home. Come to think about it they were never home. That's why I have such a good relationship with the two of them." I said, angry at my parents.

"You should be angry at them. No offence but its not like you need any money." He said.

"That's what I keep telling them. I actually think they just don't want us or they don't care about us. I just hope I'm wrong." I said quietly.

They front door opened and closed. "I have to go get him dinner." I got up but he grabbed my waist and kissed me.

"Please don't." He said pleading.

"Hazel!" My dad yelled angrily.

"I have too." I pulled away from Jasper and ran downstairs. "Dad the boys are asleep. Don't yell." I walked to the refrigerator.

"I'll yell if I want. This is my house." He yelled.

"What is wrong with you?" I asked him a little frightened by him.

"Nothing is wrong with me. Its you that is the problem." He took a step towards me. I could smell the alcohol on his breath now. The phone rang. He angrily walked over to it. It took the opportunity and ran up the stairs. I saw Jasper on the phone.

"We have a package deal. No I understand. Thank you for your time." He said calmly but his face was set on a glare. He looked over at me and his eyes softened.

"I'm sorry." He pulled me close to his chest. I pulled back quickly. "The boys." I quietly ran down the hall and brought them into my room.
