"Oh my God, you've got to be kidding me."

Standing there in all his glory; was Jasper fucking Whitlock with one of his gorgeous smiles on his face. Behind him was our lunch table that was set romantically for four, with a sign above it saying Prom Night. He was asking me to go to the fucking prom, and I wanted to kill him for doing this in the middle of the cafeteria four months before the actual prom.

"You are so dead, when I get home." I whispered to low for Angela and Ben to hear me, but loud enough that Jasper could hear me even with the large distance between us. He just winked at me in response, and if this didn't sell to the student body that him and I were dating. It meant that I was going to have to tell Charlie that Jasper was back in Forks, and if I agreed to this whole prom thing I would have to tell him that Jasper was my said date to the dance.

Ben and Angela flanked me on either side, and we walked up to Jasper. I could see in the corner of my eye that Ben thought it was now a perfect time as well to ask his girlfriend to prom, and I was happy for Angela because she liked dances. But I didn't, and if Jasper was going to make me go he was going to have to teach me. "Please tell me this is one of your, very twisted sick jokes of trying to getting back at me for last night."

"Sorry Darlin' can't do that, but I'm glad I'm making an impression on your friends." Jasper whispered to me, and kneeled on the floor. I groaned in embarrassment that I knew he could feel, but ignored it because he continued on. "Darlin' will you give me the honor, of escorting you to your senior prom?"

He held a white and blue carnation in his hand, and handed it to me. He was dressed in black slacks and a green button down shirt that looked fucking fantastic on him; in his other hand was a jewelry box that I didn't want him giving me. I thought about it, and the last dance I went to, I went with fuckward. Did I really want my last memory of going to dance to be with a lying ex-boyfriend, and right there I made my decision. "Why kind sir, it would be my honor to have an escort such as yourself."

"Oh thank God, I thought it would take more convincing to get you to go." Angela said from behind me, and I smiled at the thought of Angela worried about me not going to our Senior Prom. This dance wouldn't be so bad, since Angela and I could get really dressed up and knock Ben's socks off. I'll ask Millie when I see her, what kind of dress Angela should wear to the dance. Jasper finally gave me the jewelry box, and I had come to find that it's a blue quartz necklace.

We sat down at our table of four, and Jasper gave us our respective plates. He had split my two dishes between the two of us, so that we both got even portions. I felt bad that he'd have to throw it up later, but Ben really had started getting suspicious since Jasper hardly ever ate with us. Jasper took the necklace from my hands, and places it around my neck. Out of nowhere Angela took a picture of me and Jasper, and I had to blink to get the little white dots out of my face. "You couldn't give; oh I don't know a little warning before you did that."

"Nope, it was too perfect to ruin it with telling you I was going to take it. Besides, it's only the first of many missy." Angela responded while she childishly stuck her tongue out at me, which I had childishly returned and we both burst out laughing after. We like having our fun, and out of nowhere Lauren and Jessica make another appearance at our table.

JPOV

Jessica looked pissed, but Lauren was looking for a fight it seemed. Lauren's hate over the situation was nowhere near the kind of hate, Mike had towards me right now. I held in a smile at the fact that I made Mile Newton hate me, because no matter if he had asked Bella to go to prom with him she would have said no. "Is there something we can do for you, girls?"

"We have something we'd like to discuss with Bella here, and we'd like it if we could do it private outside." Lauren said through gritted teeth, and a glare set on Bella. I didn't like how Lauren and Jessica were looking at Bells, but I wasn't going to stop Bella from doing anything she wanted to do.

It of course didn't stop me from worrying about her, but knew that she could handle herself. Hell, she handled herself in front of vampires for over a year, and being attacked by one which should have scared her away from my kind. "Well in all honesty I don't really want to go anywhere with you, so if you really want to talk to me it's going to be right here."

"Fine, who the hell do you think you are? Coming into this school one day, acting like you own this place. News flash I own this school, and you won't be going to Prom with Jasper Hale got it. Actually, you're going to make yourself scarce on Prom night, and not even show up." Lauren ordered Bella, and as soon as Lauren was done I felt the anger in Bella spike up.

Bella didn't like being told what to do, and I knew this from past experience with her time with Edward. Edward would win basely on him dazzling her into agreeing with him, which was a sick thing to do. I watched as Bella stood up out of her chair and in Lauren's face. "First off, I'm Bella Swan and I'm the Chief of Police's daughter. Second, I never for a second thought I ruled this school; why would I want too. Third, what are you going to do, when I do show up at prom with Jasper Hale as my date?"

"Bella just listen to Lauren unless you want a war on your hands, because trust me we won't let you in to prom so help us God." Jessica growled at Bella, and I heard Bella scoff at that. I wondered why that was, though I was recording this on my phone to send to Rose after.

Bella glared at the two little girls, and stepped an inch closer to Lauren. Angela had gone and stood in front of Jessica, and gave the best glare she could for such a shy female. When Bella finally spoke, her voice was thick with an angry challenge. "I'd like to see you try and stop me from getting into prom, and we'll see what comes of you if you even think of trying to do something to me during prom. Now get away from our table before I lose my appetite, at the smell of your disgusting perfume."

"It's not disgusting, and it's Fantasy by Britney Spears. And Tyler loves the smell of it, you just have no taste." Lauren screeched as she stomped off, with Jessica following her in a big huff herself. Tyler swallowed at Lauren's confession, and I could feel his worry running through him.

"No wonder you smell like a whore, you're wearing something made by one. Oh, and tell Tyler he needs to think of better terms for disgusting, Lauren you smell like a hooker." Bella said loud enough for the whole cafeteria to hear, and the hope Tyler had running through him had vanished as Bella spoken of his lie. The whole cafeteria had burst into laughter, including myself at the look on Lauren's face.

She somewhat looked like a fish I suppose, opening and closing her mouth in surprise. It was like she wanted to say something, but she was too embarrassed to even get a sound out. Lauren ended up running out of the cafeteria, with Jessica following her out trying to comfort her. I quickly quit recording the incident, and sent it to Rose and Emmett. "Why did it sound like, you knew something Jessica and Lauren didn't?"

"Oh Bella and I, got picked to be the committee chairs for prom. We can veto any request of theirs, with one shake of our head to the principle." Angela answered for Bella, who had stuffed some of her ravioli into her mouth. Bella smiled in my direction and right as she swallowed her cell rung.

BPOV

I can't wait to get away from you
unsurprisingly you hate me too
we only communicate when we need to fight
But we are best friends...right?

Best Friends by Amy Winehouse started playing, and I cringed knowing who it was. Jasper's eyebrow raised, and I knew right away that she was calling because of him. I got to my phone in my bag, right as the first verse ended. "Hey Rose, what did Jasper do?"

"Hey what makes you think, I did anything?" Jasper tried asking innocently, but Ben snorted apparently knowing what Jasper had down exactly. I glared at him wondering if I was in trouble, or if this was going to be a fun conversation with Rose.

Rose laughed in the background, while I could also hear Emmett's booming laughter. I just sat eating quietly while Rose and Em laughed, and looked at Angela who was sending me a questioning look. She was just as confused as I was about what was going on, and she sent Ben a glare until he told her why he snorted. "Ok, I'm sorry but seriously I love you Bella. The look on Lauren's face, and hell I would love to see her try to do something to you. I'll kill her if she even comes ten feet near you, just tell me and she'll be taken care of."

"Thanks Rose, but I think I can handle it. Besides me and Ang are the committee chairs from Prom this year, don't you just love it when you get volunteered for the job you didn't want. She really does smell like a whore though, I wanted to barf it smelt so bad. In fact I think Jessica is wearing, the other Britney Spears perfume; what's it called?" I said back because I truly believed what I was saying, Lauren and Jessica smelled too much alike but different at the same time. I really couldn't remember what the name of the perfume I was talking about.

Angela and Ben were laughing, while trying not to choke on their food. Jasper was trying to hold in his laughter at the situation, while Emmett hadn't even stopped laughing yet. Rose snorted, and I laughed because I had never heard her snort before. Rose was the first one to calm down first, and she had answered my question to what the name of the perfume was. "I believe it's called Midnight Fantasy, Bella."

"Midnight's probably the only time; Mike would even dare sleep with her, that way he claim he couldn't see her because it was too dark outside. Shit that's if he had slept with her, I mean come on who would want too. Her voice all on its own makes my nerves cringe with how bad it sounds, could you even imagine what it would sound like with her screaming his name in pleasure." I said with a shutter, because I really wished I hadn't put that image in my head let alone the people sitting at the table with me. I was afraid I ruined everyone appetite, but it seemed like the only thing I did was make them shutter.

Emmett began laughing harder, and I had to shake my head at the uselessness of my big lug of vampire brother. If he were human, he'd be having trouble breathing for sure; but at last he doesn't need to breathe since he is not human. "Damn, Bella did my bitchiness rub off on you. I mean that was something I would have done to Lauren and Jessica, if I were there."

"Maybe, but I was like this back in Phoenix. I know it's different from how I was when I first moved here, but I was so tired of being a shell of the true person I am." I replied honestly, but as soon as it got quiet I knew they were thinking about when I had become a zombie, when they had left me. I didn't say it to make them feel bad, because if anything they helped me realize I was being someone I truly wasn't. "So, I owe you thanks, because you all helped me realize I wasn't being true to myself."

"Yeah, and what would have happened if we stayed?" Emmett asked solemnly, he wasn't one I had never really saw as a sad or very serious person. He was the jokester, and that was how things were suppose to be.

I thought about Emmett's question nonetheless, and I didn't like what I saw. I would still be the shell of the real person I really am, and with Edward the cheating bastard. "I would still be with the lying son of a bitch Fuckward, and that just doesn't sit well with me. Am I sad you all had to leave, sure but it was for the best, well I think so at least."

"I second that, because I like this Bella." Angela all but yelled, so that Emmett and Rose could hear. Ben nodded in agreement, since his mouth was full of pasta. I smiled at my only two friends at Forks High, since the rest of the school were mostly fakes.

Jasper wrapped his arm around my shoulders, and pulled me into his side. I got into a more comfortable position so I was still able to eat, and talk on the phone with Rose. I took a quick bite of my food, and leaned my head onto Jasper's shoulder. "I can only assume Jasper feels the same way, because his still here. That, and his asked me to prom."

"We'll get back to fuckward later, but yeah I wanted to know about Jasper taking you to prom. When did this happen, and isn't prom like four months away?" Rose asked curiously through the phone that was now placed on speaker phone, and her question got Angela and Ben wondering the same thing.

I leaned my head back to look up at Jasper, because he was the only one who could explain it. He was the only to know he was going to ask me, and I was curious as to why he had asked. He kissed my forehead lightly, and took the phone out my hands with his free hand. "I wanted her to experience her senior prom, besides Emmett and I would have killed anyone of these douches, if they even attempted to ask her to prom. So it only left me, because Emmett can't make it here."

"First off Bella could go to her senior prom, with whoever the fuck she wants, but since she already agreed to go with your Mr. Ego-emotional ass I'll just have to deal with it. Second, I would kill you both if you attempted to kill a potential guy she liked. Third, you didn't answer my question, isn't the prom like four months away?" Rose said highly amused at Jasper explanation; and her and I both knew he wasn't really lying. He and Emmett probably would attempt to kill anyone who even tried to ask me out.

I rolled my eyes, because it was stupid to think I would even agree to go out on a date let alone to prom with a guy from this school. She was right though, prom was four months away why was Jasper asking four months in advance? After I took a bite of my food, I leaned my head back again to look at Jasper. He just winked at me in response, and lightly squeezed me. "Yes but I'll be gone next week, and knowing the little boys around here would try and ask her while I was away, so now this was they know she's taken for prom."

"Oh why thank you Mr. I'm-so-fucking-special-Hale, you know not everything is about you. I mean seriously you couldn't just say, you wanted to go with me. I mean now I feel like a fucking charity case, Rose can you help me find a better date for prom. I was thinking of maybe taking one of the guys from La Push, think that'd piss him off any?" I asked acting serious, but so very serious. I blocked my emotions from Jasper, and I know he would be worried about where they went. I didn't know how I was able to hide my emotions but I could, and I believe the saying is don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Jasper gawked at me, while everyone else laughed at his expense. Ben had began choking on his soda, and Angela had to pat him on the back to calm down his coughing. Jasper looked like a fish out of water, because he was so shocked he couldn't speak. I never thought I could make a vampire speechless, I'd have to try that more often. "Sure thing, oh who's the oldest of them, and one that Charlie wouldn't freak out about? Oh, and don't pay any mind to Mr. I'm-a-rebel-hear-me-roar, his just being an ass."

"Sam, his twenty-two and his La Push deputy; gotta love a man in uniform." I replied with a perfect look of dreaminess in my eyes, and it made Angela giggle and nod in agreement. That got Ben and Jasper sending glares at us, but soon Jasper stopped and sent a sly look at me. I knew he'd figure it out, because we both knew he was soldier and wore a uniform.

Emmett growled which made Angela giggle more thinking it was just a brotherly thing, but I knew it was the thought of me being around werewolves. Rosalie laughed with delight, and I knew it was because of the pure torture I was putting Jasper and Emmett in. He'd work, and we could get him a nice, maybe even a hair cut if his up to it."

"No worries last time I saw him, it was short and he looked yummy." I rolled my eyes slowly, and moaned like I was in ecstasy over the thought of him. Jasper growled this time, and I looked at him innocently. I threw my best puppy dog eyes at him, and leaned my head on his shoulder and looked at him while batting my eyelashes.

Jasper groaned knowing he was beaten, and he had to give in to stop the teasing. He kissed my forehead once again, and it felt so natural that I relaxed and leaned further into him. He held me slightly tighter, and it didn't scare me that it didn't feel like Edward, but that I liked it more than when Edward did. I liked the feel of Jasper's lips on my skin, but before the images rushed into my head Jasper spoke which I was thankful for. "Ok ok I got it, and I'm sorry. I really asked Bella, because I'd really like to take her. Happy now, and you do realize I have a name right."

"Oh she knows Mr. Sensitive-miss understood-soldier, but that doesn't mean we have to use it. I like makin' up these little names for you, it's so much fun." I said sheepishly, while I pecked him on the cheek. I think that shocked Angela and Ben more than it did me and Jasper, and even then it was more over the fact at how natural it seemed to be. Jasper had a slow smile come over his face, and he softly said I could call him whatever I liked.

Soon Rosalie and I agreed to that I would call her on Sunday, and we can go over the tuxes she was going to buy for Jasper and Ben. Since I had argued that I was going to be buying Angela and my dresses, and that it was to be a surprise to the three. I joked with Ben about either getting the measurements from him, or from his mother, which I really didn't want too. The last time I had a conversation with Mrs. Cheney, she told me things I didn't need to know about Ben, ever. Lunch was over not long after Rose got off the phone with us, and I did want Jasper to leave.

JPOV

I could suddenly feel Bella's emotions turn from happy to sad, and I looked at the clock above the cafeteria door to see the time. I understood her emotions, she was having fun with me and her friend's just bullshitting about nothing in particular, and she didn't want it to end. I kissed her on the top of her head, and was hit with another bright flash from Angela's camera, and I was still wondering what was up with that. I'd have to ask Bella about it when she gets home from school, and we'll also talk about prom since I wanted to make sure she knew I did want to take her.

"Jas it's almost time for you to leave, we should be getting all our trash together." Bella said to me softly, but still loud enough for Angela and Ben to hear. Right now I kind of wished I could hear what she was thinking, but knowing her even if I had a stronger ability then Edwards she'd still be able to block me the fuck out.

I was sort of happy to meet her old friend Onyx, because just maybe he could give me some insight into who the real Bella Swan was or is I guess is the right term. Bella was stronger, and more confident in herself and it was something you should miss on seeing. "Right, no worries I'll take care of it Darlin'. I ain't in no rush, sides what is but trash. I'll just stay behind, and take care of it while you guys make it your classes."

Bella and her friends soon left, but not before Angela got another picture of me and Bella. We were hugging and she was kissing my cheek, and to be honest I kind of wanted a copy of it. I would have to ask Angela about it later, right now I had cleaning to take care of. We had ended up having a fight me and Bella against Angela and Ben, and it was fucking fun. I couldn't remember the last time I had fun with a bunch of humans, and I had to admit when I'm around Bella I'm more happy than anything else.

When she was talking to Rose about taking the Alpha of the wolf pack, I wanted to tear the guy to pieces. I knew though in the back of my head that Sam would agree, and so would his fiancée Emily just to get to me. They loved Bella, Sam was the one to find Bella after Edward had left her in the woods alone and no way of finding her way out. If I was honest with myself I knew it was jealousy, but I didn't know why so I pushed that idea out the way. I had to be because they were werewolves, and it could cause her danger.

I was about to believe what she was saying, but she had to tease me with the whole 'gotta love a man in uniform'. I knew right there that it was all a ploy, and that Rose and her were playing with me. I hated it though, that Bella could block her emotions from me. It wasn't normal, and it was something I wanted to talk to her about. When I finally got back to Bella's house, I spotted the old civil war books she had. I had forgotten to ask her about them, and I added them to the list of things I wanted to ask her about.

I must have been lost in my thoughts for a rather long time, since I hadn't noticed the time. Bella was home and she had a huge smile on her face, and I wondered what she was so happy about. "So mind telling me why Angela, was taking a picture of us every 5 seconds Darlin'?"

"Oh it's a surprise, but you'll find out when you get back from your week vacation." She said mysteriously, and I had to say I liked this Bella a hell of lot better. She placed her helmet in the closet, and as she began walking by me she stopped and kissed me on the cheek. I knew if I could I would have blushed, because I had felt this spark of feelings rise but I didn't know what they were.

I helped her make dinner for her and Charlie, and while we did that I asked her questions. Trying to get to know her better, and she either answered them truthfully or half truthfully leaving me wonder what she wasn't telling me. I liked that though, and I mean the mystery of her. I never got that with Alice, and I guess because she never let there be a mystery when it concerned anything. She always knew what was going to happen, and made sure everyone knew about it. "So, I was wondering why you have all those war books in your room."

"Which ones, the one's on the bottom of my shelf?" She innocently without looking at me, and I knew it was partly so she didn't cut her fingers off. I waited for her to actually look at, and I nodded to her in acknowledgement. "There's information in them that or relevant to my family history, not that my dad knows that. I actually might think you'd like one of them, and if you want you can read it sometime."

"I surely wouldn't be opposed to reading all of them, but I'll get what I can take for now." I responded honestly, and I knew she knew that. I would wait till she felt ready to tell me more about her family, and I felt how grateful she was for that.

Third Person POV

It was Friday, and Jasper wasn't sure why he was feeling so anxious about Onyx being here the whole time he was gone. He didn't understand the feeling he was having towards Bella, but he knew they weren't brotherly affection. He shrugged and decided to worry about it, once he was away from her and around Peter and Charlotte.

Bella woke up the morning happy, because one of her best friends was going to be coming today. In reality Onyx was her only true friend, he is the only one she had really kept in touch with back in Alaska. She really didn't have any real friends in Phoenix, and she was okay with that. It meant less people she could worry about getting in danger, and that was always a better thing.

Bella and Jasper both talked to Tanya the day before, and she had whole heartedly agreed to help them. That was of course, after Bella had told Tanya why they were even asking. Bella and Jasper of course knew that no one in their family; had began advertising the fact that Alice and Edward cheated on their supposed mates with each other.

Tanya was beyond happy to help, and even told them if they needed help with anything else to let her know. She had also asked if it was alright to let her family know, and Bella had agreed knowing it would help Tanya in explaining why she was leaving every now and then. Jasper had never gotten use to how Bella dressed, because she was always able to know him speechless when she came down in the mornings for breakfast. Today was no different, as she had worn a blue and brown top; greased white jeans; and blue, white and pink snake skin platform heels.

Her hair was naturally wavy, and down which he had come to find he liked it best that way. He still had could believe that he hadn't seen this amazing girl long before coming back and seeing her. He was going to miss seeing her every morning, but he needed this trip to think over some things and to see his other family.

Bella was feeling anxious all day, and couldn't wait till school ended. She had told Angela and Ben about Onyx coming, and they had agreed to meet up Sunday afternoon when Ben promised to have his measurements, and they could practice some songs Bella wrote. They we would meet at Bella's house, and practice in the old garage. That Charlie had cleaned out for her, and he was glad to be meeting Onyx.

When Bella had told Onyx was coming, she had decided on telling him that Jasper was back in town. He had taken it fairly well, and he had demanded to meet him the same time he meet Onyx so he could all the questions out at the same time. Bella was extremely glad that Charlie wasn't upset over the fact, that Jasper was back and that he was taking her to prom.

"You're going to race home, and be impatient till Onyx comes aren't you?" Angela said with a laugh, because she had been watching her friend all day. Ben was silently laughing at Bella enthusiasm, and walked with his girlfriend and Bella, towards Bella's bike.

Bella nodded eagerly with a huge smile on her face, as she was texting Rosalie about Tanya. Ben noticed she was wearing the necklace Jasper had given her Wednesday, when he had asked her to prom. Angela pointed out the Bracelet, Earrings and Ring that went with to make a set; and Ben rolled his eyes at Jasper's expense on all the jewelry. "You know it, and it will irritate the hell out of Jasper too."

"Oh, that reminds me. I'll have the pictures with me Sunday, that way you can tell Ben which ones you want him to do his magic on." Angela supplied Bella, and she Bella nodded with a huge smile on her face. Everything she was planning was coming together nicely, but now all she had to worry about was Charlie. Bella had told Charlie that Jasper was back, and that he was taking her to Prom.

She had also told him that Jasper was leaving Saturday for a week vacation, and that she was entering the school talent show. He was excited about the talent show, and he promised to be there front row. When she had told him that she hadn't made it in yet, all he said was that he had no doubt she would. "Alright I'll see you guys Sunday, and don't forget to bring you're instruments."

Jasper was waiting for her on the front step like usual, and if she admitted it to herself she would miss it while he was gone. He didn't know what she had planned for his apartment, not that he hadn't repeated asked; but because she refused to tell him. He didn't even know what Angela was doing taking pictures of them; in fact he didn't know why she had asked a nice girl Callie to take a group picture of them as a group. "So, are you packed?"

"I am, and remember I'll be leaving as soon as you wake up in the mornin' Darlin'." Jasper reminded Bella in a less the enthused voice, because the closer it got to him leaving he was weary on wanting to leave or not. Peter had told him though, that everything would be fine and that if he came he'd figure everything out. Jasper was still very much confused about how the hell Peter knows what he does, but he didn't question it knowing Peter knew his shit.

"I know, and Onyx will be here in two hours. So will you sit with me, and I'll give you one of my civil war books to read, while I do my homework." She responded quickly changing the subject so she didn't have to think about it till later that evening. She'd wait to think about it, once Charlie and Onyx were asleep.

Jasper smiled at her, and nodded in agreement. They made their way up the stairs to Bella's room, to get comfortable and relax. Bella dropped her bag next to her desk, and walked over to her bookcase to grab Jasper a book. She knew which book she was going to give him, it was given to her by her great-grandmother. It was passed down to certain members of the family, because it was written by their great-great-great-great grandfather who was in the actual civil war. It had actually mentioned Jasper's name, and it was why she was going to let him read it. "Here you go, and I know you will enjoy it."

"Thanks, and I'll let you know." Jasper responded with a smirk, to which Bella rolled her eyes and began pulling her textbooks out of her bag. Jasper lay sprawled out on Bella bed, with his back at her head board and his feet near the edge.

An hour and a half later Bella's cell buzzed, and she picked it up. Jasper heard her squeal, and watched as she began bouncing gin her chair as she typed a text to someone. He figured it would be Onyx, so he went back to reading. She soon went back to finishing her last page of homework for her physics class, when she was finally done she sat down next to Jasper waiting for him to finish the page he was on. "Yes Darlin'?"

"How do you like it, so far?" Bella asked knowing full well that he had already read some parts that had him in it, of course she knew he was curious as to if she knew that it was him she had read about.

Jasper been surprised that the journal had actually been written by one of Bella's family members, and that it had him in it; actually more importantly that he knew someone related to her so long ago. He didn't remember him honestly, but to know he had meet the man was something all in its own. "Did you know it was me, when you first meet the family and we told you our stories?"

"No, because you had never told me you story back then. I never had a photo of you, and I didn't put it together that you were him until you told me your story a few nights ago." Bella told Jasper honestly, and he felt her honesty so he knew she wasn't lying. It was time for them to meet Onyx downstairs, since he had texted Bella letting her know he'd be there in an hour. They only had a few minutes until that hour was up, and Bella's excitement was beginning to affect Jasper.

Jasper laughed and helped Bella up off the bed, after he had marked his spot in the book. He hugged her, and ran down the stairs at vampire speed with Bella's bell like laughter following behind them. Jasper heard a motorcycle coming three streets away, and knew it had to be Bella's friend. Since there weren't that many residents that owned motorcycles in Forks, which made it easy for people to know who it was.

Bella heard it the closer it got, and her excitement peaked to where Jasper was trying his damndest to not start jumping up and down. It made him wonder why Bella wasn't herself, but Bella had always been strange so it didn't worry him too much. "His almost here, and I'm willing to bet you that he'll surprise you."

"I don't know about that Darlin', after knowin' you I'm not sure there's much else that surprises me." Jasper spoke honestly, but not actually seeing where this will go. Bella had something up her sleeve, he just didn't know what. He felt Bella's mischievous feelings, and knew there was a bet coming.

"Want to put a wager on this bet? Say for every time I surprise you, you have do anything I want for a whole day." Bella said with a smirk on her face; and her hand out to him for a shake in agreement. Jasper thought about it for a minute, and decided it wasn't a bad wager so he shook her hand. Not knowing what he was getting himself into, and no sooner did they finish shaking hands in agreement did Onyx pull into Bella's driveway next to her own bike.

Bella smiles once more at Jasper, before she began walking off the steps of the house toward the man sitting on the turned off bike; and who is taking off his helmet so that Jasper could get a good luck at him. The first thing he notices is the dirty blond hair of the male sitting on the bike, appraising Bella like a piece of meat. Jasper growled lightly so neither Bella nor her friend heard, and walked slowly behind to great Bella's friend. "Damn Iz, where have you been keepin' that body?"

"I kept it away from your grubby hands, that's where Lindsey." Bella replied with a smug smile on her face, while her friend flinched and glared at her for the use of his birth name. He hated his mom for naming him that, but he only ever allowed Bella to call him that.

Jasper coughed trying to cover up the laugh that was trying to escape, which made Onyx turn his glare to him. Which made Bella just burst into laughter, because Lindsey had no clue who he was trying to intimidate. Jasper smiled at the sight of Bella, and how Onyx was baffled by her laughing at his glare towards Jasper. "Who is Iz?"

"That would me Jazzy-Poo, but no one has called me that in a very long time. Hell Lindsey's the only one who ever calls me that now, and I swear to God it's to annoy me cause I call him by his birth name." Bella said in between laughs, and holding her side from laughing so hard; and she began to lean on Jasper for support. "Jasper I'd like to introduce you to my friend Lindsey 'Onyx' Mark Thompson, Lindsey this is one of my best friends Jasper Christopher Whitlock Hale."

"Nice to meet you Onyx, Bella has been excited about you coming." Jasper said cordially while he raised an eyebrow in question, because he was wondering how Bella knew his middle name. The only thing he could think of; was if the journal had mentioned his middle name. Bella was getting two full days, and she knew because of the smugness radiating off her. He didn't know she thought of him as her best friend, but then again she was one of his best friends as well.

Onyx shook Jasper's hand, and smiled lightly in Bella's direction. Jasper took in Onyx's appearance, and found that his style was similar to Bella's but different in a way. He work dark blue denim jeans; blue long sleeve polo, leather jacket; leather wrist cuff, and a cross with three leather strap necklace with an extra pendant Jasper didn't recognize. "Pleasure to meet you, someone who could make Iz' best friend list."

"Oh please, you're just bitter because I took you off my best friend list." Bella said with amusement in her voice, as the three walked towards the house. Jasper with his arm around Bella's shoulders, and Onyx with his bag swung over his shoulder.

Onyx laughed wholeheartedly while Jasper and Bella walked through the door, and walked in behind them shaking his head. It was true he had gotten taken off of Bella's best friend list, and that was because he was an ass and deserved to be taken off of it. "Damn straight I'm bitter about it, but I fuckin' deserved it all the same."

"How did you deserve to be kicked of the best friend list?" Jasper asked curiously, because he didn't see Bella as someone who just kicked someone off for no reason. Also because he could feel the regret coming off of Onyx; and wondered if they had had a fight that caused their friendship to dwindle, and if it was the cause of his coming off said list.

"Long story short, I said some pretty fucked up shit to Iz at her mom's funeral. Shit I was surprised that she even called, and after the shit that was said even then I wonder what's going on in that head of hers. She's not like normal chicks, which is what got us into some serious trouble, but all the same out of it too." Onyx said almost lost in memories it seemed, and jasper was even more curious as to what kind of trouble Bella had gotten into.

Bella laughed at Onyx's explanation, because he went so of topic he was day dreaming about old times. Yes she was trouble maker, but she had always gotten them out of any of the shit they got into. It was it will get you arrested type trouble, okay that was a lie some of the things she's done back when she lived in Alaska her dad might have nightmares about. "Again, you're just bitter about me being able to get us out of trouble, and you can't do the same."

"Yeah yeah, I swear you got some voodoo tricks or some shit. I can't get out of trouble unless you're there, and that's why I've gotten more speeding tickets then I counts these days." Onyx grumbled slightly bitter of that fact, but Jasper could feel his underlining love for Bella as if she was his sister.

Jasper asked questions of their past, and while Bella started dinner Onyx told stories since he was already day dreaming about it. That was exactly how Charlie had found the three teens, and Bella laughing so hard she was holding on the stove. Once Bella had gotten control over herself, she had hugged and kissed Charlie on the cheek. "Hey Dad, this is Lindsey 'Onyx' Mark Thompson and you remember Jasper, right?"

"Yes you were at the hospital when Crowley's car almost smashed Bella into the truck, and it's nice to meet you Lindsey?" Charlie asked amused at the female's name, and Onyx groaned from hearing his amusement. He was starting to hate Bella for introducing him by his first name, but Jasper knew he didn't hate her he was just embarrassed.

Charlie asked his question to both boys, and got the answers he was looking for from both of them. Charlie soon left to get some sleep, and he had wished Jasper a safe trip before leaving for his room. Bella and the boys stayed telling more stories, especially ones Charlie didn't need to hear. "Oh remember, that time you snuck into the Strip Club Iz?"
