BELLA

I could tell from the look in his eyes that he didn't believe me about him being beautiful.

I couldnt help but wonder why that is. The way his skin sparkled, like tiny little beads of rainbows, the way the gold in his hair sparkled also. Made him easily the most beautiful guy I have ever seen.

After I released the hug, Jasper took my hand and sat me next to him on his sofa. We stared at each other, still reveling in the fact that the other was here. I wanted to ask him why he had never sent Evelyn her letters and how he "died". I just didn't know how. There was so many questions that I wanted answered.

"What's wrong, darlin'?"

That twang was going to be the death me, I just know it.

I looked back at him. "Just thinking." He started rubbing circles into the palm of my hand, waiting patiently for me to say what I needed. I sighed as I looked at my hands. "Why?"

"Why what, Bella?" He put his free hand on my cheek to turn my face so that I could look at him. Taking another deep breath and looking into those eyes, I asked. "Why didn't you write her, I mean, she waited for three days! I feel it was longer, though." I watched him as his face showed apprehension. For what I don't know.

He looked back into my eyes. "I was turned, Bella. I was on my way to the campsite and ran into three women. I was going to mail them as soon as I reached he postman. General Jackson had me on a mission that I was returning from. I never made it to the Postman." I looked out the window, processing what he just told me. That made sense I guess.

All those questionsthat answered them. Why they couldn't find him. Why she never got his letters. I could feel him looking at me, so I turned to look at him again.

The apprehension was still on his face, like he knew my next question. "You don't have to tell me what happened, yet. If you don't want to."

"Thank you. I just don't like talkin' about it. I will tell you though, soon." He pulled me to him as I nodded in response.

We sat like that for I don't know how long when my stomach growled. "Come on, darlin'. Let's get you something to eat. I think Alice already has it." I let him take my hand and lead me down to the kitchen. When we walked in, everyone was looking at me. Blushing, I went to the same spot I sat at yesterday and picked up my fork. Eggs and bacon today. I could get used to this.

After I ate, Esme took my dishes. "You don't have to do that you know." I told her.

She looked at me and smiled. "I know, but I want to, honey. Let me be the mother here, that's my only job." I smiled and gave her a hug in response.

I looked over at Jasper. "I need to get home. You wanna come with me? I still have some questions." He nodded and went to get his keys. When he came back in, I knew he could sense my confusion.

"Alice can bring yours later. I want to drive you, if that's alright." I smiled and nodded, heading upstairs to get my bag. I got the first step and noticed my bag. I turned to look at him and raised my eyebrow. "I was upstairs getting my keys, so I just grabbed your bag." I smiled in thanks and grabbed his hand. He led me to that F150 that I had been parking next to all week.

"You must've laughed at my truck." He smiled as he looked at my truck.

"Actually...no. I was confused by your truck when I first saw it." Confused, I climbed into the truck as I held his hand.

After he got in on his side, he continued. "I got your scent and didn't know where it was coming from." I nodded and looked at the window, contemplating that I had a scent. I gave him directions to Charlie's and as we pulled in I noticed Jake's Rabbit in my usual spot and Jacob standing on the porch with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He looked mad. I looked over at

Jasper when I heard a growl come from him. "How do you know him?" He was gripping the steering wheel, so I quickly answered.

"I've known him all my life. Charlie's friends with his dad. Why?" The truck came to a stop and before I could get an answer, Jake had ripped me from my seat. "Jake, what do you think you are doing?" He wasn't looking at me, he was looking at Jasper. My soldier walked slowly around the truck and took my hand.

"Release her, dog."

I looked back from one to the other. "Dog I thought to myself, trying to figure out why he would call Jake a dog.

Sensing my emotion, Jasper continued. "Come on, Bella. You figured us out in a week. You should know what he is." I looked into the eyes of a man I needed to understand. I knew he was trying to tell me something, just didn't know what.

"Get your filthy hands off of her, bloodsucker." I whipped my head around to look at Jake.

"You know?" I couldn't believe that he'd call Jasper that. He'd never hurt me.

"Of course I know, Bells." He wouldnt look at me. This was the first time Jake gave me an answer and never looked at me. He just kept staring at Jasper.

"He wont hurt me, Jacob. Let me go." He just shook his head no and pulled on my arm. It was starting to hurt and I was trying not to cry over it.

"Jake, please. You're hurting me." He wouldn't let up. I don't know what was going on in his head, but my best friend needed to listen to me.

"Let her go. You will hurt her more if you don't." My soldier, always my soldier. He'd take care of me. I don't know how I knew this. I just did.

"And if I don't, leech." I could feel Jasper tensing up. I needed to do something. I took my hand out of Jasper's and cupped his cheek. "Look at me, Jazz." When he didn't move, I stood on my tip toes and looked at him. "Calm down, Soldier. He's a friend. Calm down. Please, Jazz." He finally looked into my eyes, and I saw topaz almost completely gone.

I held his gaze as his eyes slowly changed back. "Darlin', He can hurt you." He whispered it, but I heard him. I felt Jacob's grip get tighter as Jasper leaned into my touch on his cheek.

"How? Jakes just a boy. A human boy, Jazz." He cupped my cheek and stated.

"No, Bella. He's a werewolf."
