Chapter 9

Bella got the biggest surprise of her life. She was so shocked that she literally almost fainted. Well, wouldn't you faint too if the family you loved abandoned you because their son/brother didn't want you anymore. As much of a shock that it was that they showed up, Bella was actually relieved until she saw him.

"What the hell is he doing here?" said Bella angrily through her teeth.

"Bella…I'm here because I still love you and I will stop at nothing to get you back. But, I will be on my best behavior right now because I don't want to cause a scene." Said Edward annoyed.

"Bella" said Jasper. "Why don't you go find your father and the blacks…I'm sure they want to congratulate you on your accomplishments."

"Ok Jazz" said Bella calming down and leaving it at that she kissed Jasper.

"Leave her alone Edward. She's happy with me" said Jasper angrily.

"You're an idiot Jasper if you think I'm just going to let her go with a blood thirst vampire like you." Said Edward getting in his face.

Before the boys knew it, Chief Swan had them both in handcuffs and was hauling them both off to jail for public disturbance.

"Seriously Edward now look what you have done." Said Jasper annoyed.

"Oh shut up." Snapped Edward. "If you would just hand her over then you wouldn't have to face what's coming next."

"Edward" growled Jasper. "Bella just happens to be my mate, and if someone like yourself tries to come between me and my mate again, well brother I can guarantee that all hell is going to break loose."

"Your mate ha" said Edward. "Please…I'd like to see you try and hurt me Jasper. Be afraid...be very afraid."

And with that, they made bail and went home.

That night Bella spent the night with Jasper because she was scared of what Edward might do.

"Bella, you know how much I want to protect you…but in this case…I honestly don't know how to protect you from Edward." Said Jasper sadly.

"Jazz…I know you want to protect me from Edward…maybe if I talk to him, that maybe I can get him to reconsider this whole thing." Said Bella.

"No Bella" growled Jasper. "It's too dangerous to let you around him."

"But Jazzy, what if I'm the only one that can get through to him? Have you ever thought of that?" said Bella questionably….

"Bella" said Jasper softly "I have thought about it but, the more I think about it the more dangerous it all seems to me…what if I let you and he takes you away from me and I never see you again?"

"Jazzy…please you just have to trust me…believe it or not…I've talked to Alice about this and she doesn't see anything happening…plus she said she'll be right outside the door." Said Bella trying to reassure Jasper.

"Fine Bella…but if anything happens trust me you won't like it when the major in me comes out darlin." Said Jasper with his southern accent that Bella loves so much.

"Jazzy" said Bella a little playfully.

"Yes darlin?" said Jasper catching up on her suddenly changed mood.

"I love you cowboy"

"I love you too darling"

"Let me go talk to Edward now and when I get back it all about you, me, and the bed." Said Bella and then she gave Jasper a long kiss.

Bella went down the hall and walked into the familiar room that she used to spend a lot of time in once upon a time.

As soon as Bella walked into Edwards's room, he shut the door and took her into a long hug.

"Bella…I've missed you dearly." Said Edward

"Edward…I've missed you too but you've gotta know that I'm in love with Jasper." said Bella

"I know…I've read every thought he has had…I'm not too happy about what I know but I'm glad you're happy again…after what I did to you." Said Edward sounding hurt.

"Edward, you should be more than sorry the way you left me. You told me that you didn't want me anymore. How do you think that made me feel? You said I didn't belong in your world, that you did love me and basically that I was a pet! Edward I hated you after that. I basically wanted to die knowing you were gone. I'm lucky my life got turned around the way it did and that I actually found happiness with Jasper after the hell you put me through." Bella said through her teeth.

"Then I guess I really have nothing else to say other than I guess I'll let you be happy…Bella I'll be in your life in whatever way you want me to be." Said Edward calmly.

"Thank You Edward that means a lot to me." Said Bella

Then she hugs him and kisses him on the cheek.

"You'll find someone to make you happy Edward…I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be Alice." Said Bella jokingly.

Then suddenly Alice ran in.

"Oh my god Bella who told you that Edward was actually my mate?" yelled Alice.

Stunned, Edward and Bella look at each other then look at Alice.

Then you hear a growl and something break in Jaspers room. They run to go see what the noise was and see Jasper broke the desk and he's angry.
