Chapter 5
Jasper's POV
On our way home from school, Rose, Emmett and me were discussing Bella and her behaviour.
„Dude, she's totally right. Edward and Alice were behaving really immature for their century, more or less, how long they're alive." Emmett said seriously, and I was awestruck by the intelligence this bear hid behind the mask of the innocence of a child. I tried my hardest not to show it, but it seemed that I failed, because Rosalie shot me a meaningful look, which said 'better-watch-your-tongue'. I menatlly shuddered and Rose continued,
„You're right. I must admit, that human, Bella , isn't that bad as I thought. Before we left, she was so obeying to everyone. It was like she hadn't any plans for the future. But now, now she finally grew a backbone, and learn to speak for herself. I hate to admit it, but I kinda like the new human." I turned to her, slightly annoyed,
„Why do you keep calling her 'human'? She has a name, Rose." She sighed.
„I know, Jazz. But somehow, it's like a habit; I wasn't used to be kind to her, or to anyone. Today, when she told me exactly what she thinks about me, I was surprised. I wasn't looking at the facts from a good view. But she opened my eyes and I learnt to be grateful for what I have, and not to mourn over something I lost decades ago." Man, these guys amaze me more and more. Who thought that a simple human would gain such power above us?
I suddenly sensed a huge wave of annoyance, hurt and anger coming from our house. I was curious. What have caused such emotions swirling through our house? We exited the car, and slowly made our way to the front door. When we entered it, we heard voices.
„...She was so rude, Mom! She was mocking me on my inability of better control around her, because she's my singer." A whiny voice I immadietely recognized as Edward's, spoke to someone, soonely (is this even a word?) joined in by Alice,
„Yes, Mom. She was crusing and insulting me too."
„Oh my poor babies. Come here to Mommy. I will take care of her." Am I imagining things? No way in hell they...
„You came here to sue her to Esme? Are you fu-„
„Language, Rosalie!"
„Are you serious Esme?"
„Yes. Bella has a bad influence on all of you. I don't think you'll see her again, unless in school. She's not allowed to come here anymore." I couldn't believe my ears. I glanced at Emmett and soon, both of us were in my study, safely wrapped in a comforting atmosphere, surrounded by my books.
„Man, I didn't thought that Edward and Alice were that immature?" I chuckled,
„Me either, bro." As soon as Esme finished her rant about Bella 'being a bad influence', the front door opened, and Bella's flowerly smell drifted to my nose. I breathed in eagerly, noticing how I wasn't tempted by it anymore. This caused a little ball of joy boiling inside me, and I cringed at the intensity of this feeling.
I heard Bella's disbeliving voice,
„Because you'r beloved son got what he deserved, together with his manipulative sister?" I couldn't believe it! Bella had the guts to speak with Esme like this?
„Man, she's good." Emmett murmured. All I could do was to nod my head. Then I heard my name and together with Em, we came downstairs, welcomed by a unbeliveably hot Bella. Her face was cold, except her eyebrows, which were slightly furrowed, due to her annoyance and anger.
„Shopping?" I recognized Alice's soprano from the door. She asked us to come with us, but Bella declined, and together we dashed away in my Jaguar, laughing our guts out.
„Man, did you see her face?" Bella said between maniacal laugh attacks. I managed to nod my head, before cracking up again.
But too soon, we arrived in Seattle, and I walked away with Emmett, leaving the two girls alone.
Rosalie's POV
I was watching with awe how Bella talked to Esme. The shy, little human girl dissappeard, and now, I saw a strong, indenpendet woman. The roundness of her face was gone; although she looked very cute with it, now her face was unbelievably defined. It was more angular, and her brows were fuller. Her black hair wasn't really short, just under her shoulders. I was shocked by how beautiful she was. If she becomes a vampire, when she becomes a vampire, she'll be prettier than me. And I was okay with it.
I wasn't deinying that Bella will become one of us. I got along with that thought, because after our encounter in the school hall, I finally realized that it isn't my job to judge people's lifes, and it's better for me to keep my nose out of their bussiness. I was now peaceful with her decision of becoming a immortal being; but my main question was..
Is she planning on spending it alone?
She's been bitchy, and simply distant from Edward. She understood that they weren't meant to be, much like Jasper and Alice..
Jasper and Alice..
Of course! I knew they weren't mates! But why kept Alice telling everyone that they were? Was she lying?
„Earth to Rosalie! Are yu still in there Blondie?" I heard Bella's voice,
„Huh? Sorry, I zoned out."
„Phew. For a moment I thought I could hear my own voice echoing in your head." She said while smiling. I grinned, immadietely taking liking in this new Bella.
If you thought Alice liked shopping, then you haven't met Hurricane called Bella.
She was dragging me from store to store, bu she was so different from Alice.
Alice dragged us, forced us.
Bella accepted our thoughts, and sometimes she managed to fulfill them.
I was amazed by the thought how I could ignore such a magnificent being. I felt bad. She looked at me with those big doe eyes, colored in a melting chocolate.
After full three hours of shopping, we went to find the boys.
„Bella, I want so badly to spend time with you. But how when Esme doesn't allow you anymore in my house?"
„Do we need a house?" she said grinning devilishly. I grinned back.
„Rose, you know that graduation is in two months. I want to spend it with my friends and family, and nothing will stop me. Nobody gets in my way when I want something. So, who does Esme think she is? She's not my mother; hell I'm not the reincarnation of her dead baby!" I laughed
„That was good." She smiled a toothy grin at me and I was again surprised; her teeth looked like vampire's!
„Bella? How did this change happened?" her brows furrowed,
„What change?"
„Well, you know. When did you became so..bitchy?" She laughed,
„Oh that? Well, I'll be compltely honest with you. When you guys left, I was devastated. I was thinking 'If they loved me like they said, why did they left me on my won?'. I was broken, catatonic. My dad wanted to send me back to my mother. But I declined, and for his sake, I started being 'normal' again. But, I heard Edward's voice whenever I did something reckless. Being the pathetic human I am, I jumped off a cliff, Alice told you her vision, you called Edward, he wanted to commit suicide, we got back from Volterra after saving his butt, and now I'm here shopping with you, instead of followin' Doucheward." Oh my God!
„Bella, since when do you have a accent?" She looked surprised, and then a small smile played on her lips,
„Oh that? Wel, I was born in Huston, Texas."
„Wasn't you born here?"
„No. I thought the guys in the school would mock me, but I was originally from Texas. I lived there for 10 years."
„Wow, the Swan human has secrets."
„And Blondie has a heart." I laughed and soon, Bella joined in.
„What are you laughing about ladies?" Jasper's musical voice spoke to us,
„Oh, I just realized that Rosalie has a heart."
„And Bella has secrets. Did you know that Bella is from Texas?" Jasper's eyes widened when he looked at Bella.
„Really?"
„Yep, I am. I lived there for 10 years. Amazing, huh?"
„Amazing it is. Where exactly?"
„Huston."
„I was born in Huston too."
„I know." Bella smiled a knowing smile. Jasper's eyeborw rose.
„How's that?"
„I can hear your accent."
„But I'm not speaking with it."
„Maybe, but I can hear it when you speak. It vibrates a little."
„And you can hear that?"
„Yes, I can." Jasper laughed. Emmett looked confused.
„We have two friends from Texas? Man, we're doomed." I laughed at my husband, but he-
„Ouch!" I looked in surprise at my Emmett. I saw him rubbing his backhead. I looked at Bella who was smiling devilishly, and Jasper who stared at Bella confused. I saw that she was holding Jasper's hand
„What the hell happened?" Bella answered,
„He was making fun on me and Jasper, so I wanted to hit him. But I would probably break my hand, so I took Jasper's while he was laughing and smacked him." She replied while shrugging her shoulders. I laughed and soon, all of us were laughing, until my cell rang. I picked it up,
„Hello?"
„Rosalie? It's Esme. Where are you?" I glanced at the others. They were silently staring at me, waiting for my reply. I encouraged myself and replied,
„I'm shopping with Bella."
„With Bella? I told you she's a bad influence! Why don't you listen to me?"
„She's my friend! And a part of this family!"
„Well, she's Edward's mate...I have the tolerance for him, but not for you! You know how bad she is."
„Esme, I don't want to talk about this with you.."
„I'm your mother!"
„No, you're not! You're my adoptive mother, Esme! I gotta go. Bye."
„Rosal-„ the line went dead. I sighed and looked at them. They looked thoughtful and then Bella spoke,
„I'm not Edward's girlfriend."
