Bella's POV:
When I woke up the next morning, Jasper was still laying next to me. He was laying with his arm around me, and those beautiful eyes of his closed. I was comfortable and warm, and I really did not want to get up, so I turned back over to pretend that I was sleeping.
"I know that you are awake, gorgeous," Jasper said, and I could hear the smirk in his voice.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I'm still sleeping," I said matter-of-factly.
He chuckled and threw the blanket off of me.
"Hey!" I yelled in protest, trying to put my arms around myself to keep me warm.
He laughed at me again.
"Sorry darlin', but Rose and Esme are downstairs making you breakfast, and if I don't get you up, Char is going to come up here," he said, fear evident in his voice. I burst out laughing.
"Awe," I said, "the big bad vampire is afraid of Char."
"Hey, she's scary!" He protested.
I just shook my head and got up out of bed. He leaned down to kiss me when I remembered something. Morning breath. I pulled back quickly. He looked at me with hurt in his eyes.
"Sorry. Morning breath," I said and ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I could hear him laughing down the hall.
I got to the bathroom, but realized that I didn't have a tooth brush here. I silently cursed, and opened the door. Rose was already standing there with a tooth brush and tooth paste in her hand.
"I had to go the store for you because we didn't have many human appliances," she explained.
I quickly thanked her, gave her a hug, and went back inside the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I was done, I placed my tooth brush on the counter and went down stairs. When I went in the kitchen, I was not surprised at how amazing it smelled.
"Oh my. That smells great," I said, and took a seat at the table. Esme set down a plate of pancakes in front of me. My eyes lit up. I love pancakes. Well, I love any breakfast food. I quickly put some syrup and butter on them and started eating. They tasted even better than they smelled.
"You guys did a great job on these!" I said to Rose and Esme. They smiled at me.
This time, everyone was in the kitchen with me, but they weren't all staring at me. Rose, Edward, Emmett, and Carlisle were all having a conversation. Char, Esme, and Peter were talking about something. Alice just kind of wandered. And Jasper was sitting with me. He wasn't watching me like the night before, though. He would sit there. Then he would play with my hands. He would glance up at me, almost as if he was making sure that I was still here, and not a dream. When I finished eating, I took my plate to the sink and started washing it. I noticed that Jasper was about to stop me and say that he could do it, but I glared at him. There is no reason that I should not be able to clean my own dish.
When I finished eating, we all went in to the living room. I plopped down next to Jasper and turned on the TV. A music channel was on. It was a slow song. I left it on and stood up. I help out my hand to Jasper. He looked at me with one eyebrow raised.
"Dance with me," I said, pouting slightly.
He smiled at me and got up. I don't really know how to dance. Jasper took my hands and put them in the right places. He then his hands around my waist, and before I knew it, we were both swaying thoughtlessly to the music. When the song ended, everyone was looking at us. They were all clapping and smiling. Well, not Alice. She was just glaring at me.
"You know, I'm trying to be nice. I'm trying to respect you. The least you could do is try not rubbing it in my face," she said, glaring at me.
My face softened a little. She did have a point. She has not bothered me all day. She has not said anything to me. She had kept her distance. I didn't even think about it before I asked Jasper to dance with me.
"I'm sorry," I said sincerely.
She just nodded and went outside. I watched her go out the window. I went to follow her, and Jasper grabbed my arm.
"I don't think that's such a good idea," he said.
I knew that vampires were fast, and if I wanted to catch up to Alice I would need to leave now.
"Let go of me before I chop your arm off. I don't know how I am going to do it, but I will find a way." He let go of me and I walked away. I could hear everyone chuckling as I went.
When I got outside, I saw Alice sitting on the grass. I went and sat next to her.
"What did I do wrong? Why doesn't he want me?" She asked.
It was a rhetorical question. I know that she didn't want me to answer, and I couldn't.
"I'm sorry," I said. It was the only think that I could think of.
"Why do humans always say they are sorry when the know that it is not their fault, and nothing do will make it better?" she asked.
"But I am. If I hadn't moved here, or associated with Jasper, none of this would have happened," I said.
I knew that I wasn't being rational. There is nothing that I can do that will make Jasper love Alice again, if he even loved her before.
"Yes, it would have." I looked at her in shock. What is she talking about?
She must have noticed my confusion, because she explained.
"You are Jasper's true mate," she said, "and he would have found you eventually. Nothing would have stopped him. I knew that me and him were not going to be together forever when I met him. I was just in denial."
It understood it now. Sort of. I still could not grasp the whole 'mate' thing. But I certainly was not going to ask Alice about that.
"Look, there is nothing that I can do or say to make this better. I don't regret meeting Jasper, though. But let me tell you this. Someone is out there for you. You are beautiful, and never let anyone tell you differently. You will find someone someday, and they will love you fully," I said.
She looked at me and smiled. She knew that every word I was speaking was true.
"Thank you, Bella," she said, and she hugged me. When she pulled away, she looked afraid.
"We have to get inside. Now," She said.
My eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
She didn't answer me. She just threw me on her back and started running. When we got inside, I went straight to Jasper.
"Stay by me. Don't talk unless I tell you to. Do you understand me?" He said. It looked like he was panicking, as was everyone else. I realized that right now was no time to ask questions, so I just nodded. Then, someone knocked on the door. Esme opened it.
"Hello, Esme. We are here to talk to Bella Swan." I know that voice.
The Volturi are here.
Ohh! What is going to happen next?! Please tell me what you guys think in the reviews!
