Hey guys, sorry about the delay on this one! I had a few kinks to figure out for later in the story, but I think it's all good now
Also, I'm going to post a poll on my profile about this (if you could vote that would be great) but I'll post it hear too:
Would you guys like Bella to be turned into a vampire:
Immediately after the climax
After the climax but she and Edward get married first, maybe have a kid? (kind of breaking dawn style)
Not at all?
Oh and also:
Would you like Bella and Charlie to somehow be able to reconcile or just have him killed? Let me know
Anyways enjoy and don't forget to review!
I do not own Twillight.
Chapter 9
BPOV
'Bella? Bella, love can you hear me?' It was Edward. I could hear his voice; normally it was soothing but not now. I was trapped inside my own head; all I could think was that he was back. Charlie. He was coming to get me. Of course he was. I was so stupid to think that he would let me off sending him to jail. I was so stupid.
Flashback
SMACK! I fell to the floor with the force of Charlie's hand across my face.
'You're so stupid Isabella! How could you do that? How could you kill your own mother?' SMACK! All the wind was knocked out of me as he kicked me in the stomach.
'I'm sorry!' I sobbed. 'I didn't mean to! It wasn't my fault!'
'Yes it was! If it wasn't for you and your stupid, selfish demands Renee would still be here!' And with that he stormed out of the house.
It was all my fault.
End of flashback
'Bella? Please love can you open your eyes for me?' Edward. He was still there. I had to get back to Edward; He'd keep me safe.
'Of course I will love; I'll always keep you safe. That's it open your eyes for me.' I tried but it felt like someone was sitting on my eyelids. 'Come on love you can do it; let me see those beautiful eyes.' Eventually I managed to and brown met gold. Edward. I sat up and threw my arms around him. I felt his close around my waist in response before my mind started to panic again and started sobbing into his shoulder.
'Shhh… it's alright sweetheart; I'm here.' Edward rubbed my back soothingly and tried to calm me down. I don't know how long I sat there, crying into Edward's chest, but eventually I lifted my head to search out Jasper.
'Jazz… Can we talk?' My voice was croaky and I sounded terrified. I didn't sound like me…
'Of course Bella; come on.' He replied and I stood up before looking back to Edward.
'Edward?' He looked up at the sound of his name. Will you stay close? I don't think I need you in there… but will you stay outside? Just in case? Of course he heard me and wrapped his arms around my waist; kissing my temple.
'Of course, love.'
(Jasper POV)
I sat down on the couch in the library, gesturing for Bella to do the same. She looked so scared; she looked like the scared little girl who clung to Edward the first time I talked to her. I sighed. She had made so much progress.
'So Bella, how are you feeling?' Obviously I knew how she was feeling, but I figured it was a good place to start.
'I feel… scared. No… terrified.'
'And what are you scared of?'
'I'm scared that Charlie will come back; and that he'll come and get me and take me away from here.' She was scared she would have to leave?
'You're scared that he will make you leave, what? The house, Forks, the state?' I was trying to encourage her to talk more. She was regressing back to how she was before. Only answering the direct question; not expanding on her answer.
'No, I'm scared that he will make me leave all of you. I'm happy here Jazz! I don't want to leave… I feel safe here, and loved… But that's not all I'm scared of… I'm scared he won't let me see Edward… and that he'll hurt him… I know that logically It's not possible since he's human and Edward's not…. But the thought still scares me….' She was worried about Edward? What about her well-being?
'Okay… well you said yourself why that wouldn't happen. But what about you? Are you not scared that you will get hurt?' I didn't understand… she has to be scared about getting hurt again… it's the logical thing to be afraid of…
'Of course I'm scared he'll hurt me… but I know that I can handle it. I'm more worried that I'll never see any of you again. You guys are like the family I never had.' Ahh; She was scared about going back to her old life. That makes sense.
'Well it's good that you're being honest Bella. I know you're worried about going back to how things were before but there's no need to. Edward wouldn't allow that to happen, not to mention the rest of us as well. We love you Bella. All of us. We may not say it enough but you are a part of this family too.' She smiled. She was happy at my words. She was still terrified but I knew she would try not to worry so much; knowing that we would do everything we could to keep her safe.
'Thanks Jasper. I don't think I'll need to talk to you tomorrow but can we wait and see how it goes?'
I smiled at this. Maybe she wasn't regressing as much as I had thought. 'Of course Bella.'
'Can Edward come in now?' I laughed at this. I could feel his impatience from where he was pacing outside the door. 'Of course. Come on in Edward.' No sooner than the words had left my mouth he was in the room, his arms around Bella.
'I'll leave you too alone.'
'Thanks Jazz.' Both of them had spoken and I knew why Edward had. You're welcome brother. We love her too, you know. And with that I left to go and find Alice.
(BPOV)
I felt a bit better after my talk with Jasper. I usually did; he had a very calming presence. But now, sat between Edward's legs, my head on his chest and his arms around my waist, I felt content. I trusted Edward to protect me and I knew that the rest of my family would too. Hmm… my family… I liked that.
'They are your family, love. You belong here with us. With me.' Edward whispered as he bent down to kiss me. I sighed into his mouth; I was sure I would never get tired of kissing him. I could literally sit there forever kissing him; but I knew that it must be hard for him no matter how easy he made it seem, so I pulled away after a little while. But then he smiled at me and he looked so in love that I couldn't help but kiss him again.
'I love you.' I whispered to him. He kissed my forehead and murmured: 'I love you too, sweetheart. So much.' We would deal with Charlie when or if he became a problem, but for now I just wanted to spend some time with my boyfriend, like any regular teenager would.
Awwwwww cute moment at the end there. This chapter was kind of a filler but the next will be better I promise What did you guys think of Jasper's POV? I thought it was too much like Edward but I don't know how to change it…. Any suggestions?
Thanks again guys, don't forget to review!
