Ah yes, this is the chapter that really gets things started! I am so happy I have so many reviewers, thanks to you all. And I like to give my readers a little bit of what they want so yeah if you want something to happen message me and let me know! And Bella and Edward are not in it much yet because they are a relatively new couple and yeah you get it.
Before I even knew it a month and a half had gone bye, last year I would have never imagined school going by as fast as it did. The fact that I had friends made all the difference it seemed, even though I was still picked on I had my friends to help me through. Now it was mostly girls that picked on me, I was always with ether Jasper or Emmett and it seemed Jasper had proven his strength because the guy's stayed away from him as much as they did Emmett. Lulu was the main source of my problems, she had the idea that Jasper and I were going out, and I wished, but it wasn't happening. She said that we talked to much and said that she even saw us holding hands and a lot of other stuff that normal friends do. He tried to only allow physical contact when it was just me and him, but one day a few weeks ago he got angry with me for not telling him when I was feeling bad, or he said he was mad at him self for not noticing. I grabbed his hand and he shut up, I think that was the only time that Lulu could have seen that unless she was stalking Jasper and that could be a possibility.
Alice was almost always with Dominic, I believed they were going out until they both told me no, and I still don't completely believe them. Dominic never stopped talking about her and I was completely fine with that, he really liked her and she seemed to feel the same. Girls would say they liked Dominic then they would humiliate him in front of every one. I felt bad for him then but now he had Alice to talk to and I know she would never in a million years do that. Bella was my friend but she wasn't one of my best friends, sure we talked and all but she was usually with Edward. For some strange reason unknown to me Edward loved to pick on me with Emmett, I wasn't sure why but Edward who I pegged to be almost as much of a gentleman as Jasper, made fun of me. It wasn't rude just like an older brother would do to a sister, but I didn't expect it from him. Emmett was still the same as ever, loud, annoying, funny, competitive, and just like me. Jasper told me that Emmett was the reason that he could find one thing wrong with me, the nickname I gave him Major P.A, Emmett was fond of using as well. He told me that it was better than any of the ones he had ever came up with, which Rosalie said was a lot. Rosalie and I were really becoming best friends, she had started bringing car magazines to school and we would look over them and we would talk about what we could do to make them better. She was still a bit shallow with the way she talked but she was really getting better.
My mother had become really good friends with Carlisle and Esme, and I swear they were the nicest people in the world. Never in my life would I meet some one nice than them it was almost inhuman. My mother said that Carlisle was the best doctor this town had ever seen, she told me that it was like he had years and years of experience, but he was to young for that. Esme was into gardening as my mother was, she liked to decorate things so she was a perfect friend for my mom. Another person who annoyed me was my mother, wow not hard to figure out that one! The reason was she kept reminding me how good Jasper looked and how nice he was to me. I hadn't over looked those facts, but she seemed to think I did. Once I told her that its not me stopping a relation ship like that but him, this turned out to be a big mistake because she wanted to talk to him. When ever he was at my house my mom would point out little facts about me, it was really annoying. Jasper never really talked about that, he clearly knew I was embarrassed and was polite enough to not bring it back up.
The more time I spent with Jasper and the better I got to know him the more he told me he was dangerous. He would constantly tell me that I should be with him, I hadn't really gotten angry at him for it but it was a little aggravating. I usually took his warnings in a different way than he would like, to me he was only saying it because he cared, to him he was saying it so I would get smart, but when I asked him if he wanted me to go the answer was always no. Something that bothered me was the fact that at times when I was around he looked like he was in pain. He told me it was nothing I was doing but I didn't really believe him, I seemed to be the only one who affected him like that. I talked to Rosalie about it but she said the same thing he did, 'Your not doing anything.' The next time some one told me that I was going to have a fit.
I had noticed through out the past month that they never ate, they said they were vegetarians but they didn't even eat there fruits and vegetables. Dominic and I noted that in our stupid vampire book (not really a book just what we call it). Another thing was any time it was sunny they were MIA. If the sun was out they were home, they said that when it was really good sunny weather that they went camping. That was another thing I didn't believe, the weather here was usually pretty good even when the sun was not out and it got unbelievably hot when it was sunny. I also noticed with Jasper mostly, that when his eyes were dark he was in a bad mood. That was when I tried to talk to him as little as possible, it kept me out of the firing range. His eyes were never like the others, the pure golden color, they were always darker. Dominic said that he had seen him with gold eyes like the others but I had never seen it. Other than the warnings and the anger for no reason he was perfect, he was nice to me, he didn't let anyone make fun of me, he laughed at my jokes, he made me feel safe…… he was just like a big brother, the only problem with that was I didn't want a big brother, especially not from him.
My visions of ghost were getting worse, just like the little girl other ghost started to appeared next to me. The worst one I saw, I couldn't tell if it was a male or female, it was to bloody and chopped up. It looked as if an ax was taken to this person, and they really made sure that who ever it was, was dead. I was getting used to the Cullen's and Hale's changing forms in front of me. There was a definite change in my mood and posture, but I didn't close my eyes, just tried to look away mostly. My dreams they were what scared me the most, they weren't even of only Jasper any more, most of them were but not all. The dreams I had of Emmett, Edward, and Jasper were truly terrifying at times.
It was a boring Saturday and there was noting to do, the sun wasn't out today it was covered by the clouds. I had been outside earlier today and it was a bit cool out, nothing extreme but colder than usual. Flyleaf was playing softly in the background, Red Sam was playing, it this moment that song pretty much summed me up. My mom was down stairs doing something, I wasn't sure what it was really, but she was in the living room. Dominic was as earlier on the phone with Alice, he had never been one for phone conversations but now he could stay on for hours. I looked over at my wall, Jasper had given me the painting he made in art class and I hung it on my wall. My mother found the picture a bit twisted but I loved it. There was
a black vase with a pattern on it sitting on a table, in the vase were five daises one white an then they went up in color to a light red, and one black rose. The twisted part was the rose, it was taller that the other flowers and it seemed to be bleeding, the stem had streaks of blood on it and it looked like drops of blood were coming out of the petals. He told me that each flower represented a person, I asked if it was his family and he said that only one flower represented a family member. He said that the daises didn't work but the rose was the one, I asked who the rose was and he told me I had to figure that one out for my self.
My room was boring today, the gray from outside seemed to make my room gray as well. I looked at the small mirror I had on my nightstand, the stitches from my lip were gone but the scar was still there. My mother said I would have it a long time if not my whole life. I heard a knock on my door. "Who is it?" I asked stupidly, I knew it was Dominic, my mom never knocked.
"Its me dummy who else would it be?" I rolled my eyes as Dominic walked into my room. He plopped down in the chair I had sitting at my desk and looked around at the walls.
"What did Alice have something to do?" I asked him sitting up, that was the only reason they would get off the phone with each other, if they had something to do and they couldn't
talk while they did it.
"Yeah but she was really happy and I heard her call Jasper before she hung up." He shrugged looking at my picture. "Well is about as twisted as you." I stood up and walked over to him, I thought about pulling on his hair but then he would pull mine and it was fixed from this morning. So I just pushed him foreword and pulled my chair out from under him. He stood up and rubbed his back before picking me up, I hit him on the side if the head and he moved me around where I was flung over his shoulder.
"Put me down!" I yelled hitting him in the back hard. I felt him tense up for a second then he shook his head. If I hadn't been so small he wouldn't have been able to pick me up, but I was. He swung me around and I bit his shoulder as hard as I could, as he yelled and dropped me I smiled. My mother said that ever since I was little I lived to bite things, and my brother had always been the perfect target.
"You jerk!" he yelled and pulled the collar of his shirt off his arms to reveal very deep purple bite marks, I smiled showing my teeth. "I am telling mom!" even if there was another person here I would still get blamed for it. My mouth was very small, metaphorically speaking it was big but in real life very small. My teeth and mouth are the size of my nine year old cousins, I only wished my lips were to. As Dominic headed out my door I heard another knock down stairs but Dominic didn't care, company or not he was telling mom.. Baby. "Mom Joanna bit me!" I saw him pull his collar down again. "See?" I ran to his side and saw my mom standing with the door open and Alice Rosalie and Jasper in the door way.
"Oh hi." Dominic said putting his shirt back wining as his hand touched the spot, I was going to smile when I saw my mom's face.
"Joanna May McCarty, what have I told you about biting?" I looked down and looked at the others from the corner of my eye. Alice was looking at Dominic's shoulder, Rosalie was holding in a laugh and Jasper was looking at me. He knew I was looking at him, he shook his head and let a small smile on his breathtaking face. My mother rolled her eyes. "We will deal with this later she hissed." it seemed she had no problems punishing me in front of company. "What did you need?" she asked them.
"We wanted to know if it was okay to take Joanna and Dominic shopping today." Alice said smiling. Shopping? Was she serious, I didn't like shopping I hated it, I loathed it.
"Where would you go?" she asked looking at us.
"Huntsville." Jasper was the once who spoke this time. My mother looked like she was going to sake her head but Jasper interrupted. "It's the weekend, we would have them back by the end of today." he smirked in my direction, he was planning something. "I would really like it if you allowed Joanna to join us. I highly prefer her company above any one else's, and I would love it if she would keep me company." I knew he was doing something!
My mom looked speechless for a moment, then like she was just told the best thing in the world "Well I guess the two of you could go with them. Just have my babies home safe." My mom was such a sucker!
"I would never allow anything to hurt Joanna in the slightest." His stupid smile made me want to hit him, did he know what those little words would put in my mothers head? She smiled and handed us some money before she rushed us out the door. Alice Rosalie and Dominic were ahead of me and I wasn't sure were Jasper was.
"Why did you bite him?" He asked calmly from my side, I rolled my eyes.
"Why did you tell my mom that?" I asked harshly. After I said that I felt bad, why did I snap at him? He didn't do anything wrong.
"I'm sorry that upset you, I figured it was the best way to get her to allow you to join us." He froze. "And I wasn't lying when I told her I enjoyed your company over anyone else's." I looked up at him, he was looking up at the sky.
"I'm the one who should be sorry." I sighed. "That was probably the only thing that would have gotten her to allow it." He smiled a bit and I looked at Jasper's Hummer sitting in the driveway.
"I knew that would make you happy." He was smiling now, I could tell by the tone of his voice.
I nodded and smiled. "Jasper Hale you are truly the best." he laughed and grabbed my hand and walked me to the car. I opened the door and got in the passenger side.
"Hey Jojo!" I looked back at Emmett, he was in the sitting in the back with Rosalie. Alice and Dominic were in the middle seats and Jasper was driving…. Duh.
"Oh hey Emmett!" I said as I heard Jasper start the engine and I felt my heart rate start up and smiled. "I didn't know you were here!" I was pleasantly surprised at this fact.
"So…. Why did you decide to bite your brother?" Rosalie asked looking at Dominic, I let out a sadistic little giggle.
"I like biting people!" I said smiling, I felt Jasper's eyes on me. "Ever since I was little I liked to bite people, I use my teeth as a defense mechanism and Dominic was spinning me." I shrugged and looked back out the front window.
It didn't take long for us to get to Huntsville, with all the conversation and me looking at the car it went pretty fast. Every time I smiled it seemed like Jasper would smile as well, it could have been a trick of the eyes or wishful thinking. Emmett and I probably pissed Jasper off with the Major P.A thing but he never said anything or looked at me like he was angry, only Emmett. I asked, or Dominic asked, why Edward and Bella didn't join us and they had other plans. I knew they probably wanted time alone but I was hoping maybe I could get to be better friends with Bella. Alice and Dominic were in there own little conversation most of the time and Jasper seemed to be concentrating on driving most of the time. I mean if I asked him something he would tell me and if he felt a comment was needed. I was most stuck talking to Emmett and Rosalie, I wasn't complaining but I wanted to talk to Jasper.
"The mall is that way!" Alice directed smiling, as I heard her and Rosalie talking about clothes I thought about super powers. When I was little I knew what the perfect super power would be, and with recent events my old thought of my power came back. "You guys wanna know what the best superpower in the world would be?"
I heard Dominic groan from the back, I looked at him and stuck out my tongue. "What is it?" Emmett asked sounding relatively interested.
"It has been the same since she was five!" Dominic's voce was whiny. "Its not that interesting." I wanted to hit him but my arms were to short.
"Oh you don't even know what it is!" He didn't have a good memory so I didn't think he would know what it was.
"Then say what it is smart guy." I said shaking my head causing Jasper to laugh a bit.
"You think the most awesome power would be to control peoples emotions." He said as a matter of factly.
The others were quiet, all of them seeming to be looking at Jasper. "I hate you." I said turning around to the front as Emmett let out a big laugh.
"You told me to say it!" Dominic's whining voice filled my ears and I wanted it to stop.
'I didn't think you knew." I crossed my arms and pouted as I heard a light laugh from Jasper. "So I hate you."
"Were here!" Alice said clapping her hands. I could tell right away that I was in for something that I wouldn't like. Jasper found a parking spot in the back of the parking lot and we all got out.
"I don't want to walk the whole way!" I whined as I grabbed onto Dominic.
"Suck it up Jojo" Jasper glared at Emmett who had said that. Alice and Rosalie were tired of walking slow because they were way ahead of the rest of us talking.
I stuck out my tongue out at Emmett and then smiled and jumped on Dominic's back. "You now have to carry me!" I yelled as I saw Jasper smile at me.
"What if I drop you?" he asked playfully, as he skipped a bit.
I thought for a moment "Drop me and I will have Jasper beat you up." I winked at Jasper who smiled. "Right Jasper?"
"Oh yeah." he said smiling. "Remember she is mine, so don't drop her." Emmett let out a laugh and I bit the inside of my lip trying to stop myself from squealing. I did manage to hold in the squeal but I couldn't fight the big goofy smile that was on my face. As soon as we entered the mall Alice pulled me away from Dominic and dragged me away.
Never in my life had I been dragged around and dressed up as much as I had been with Alice and Rosalie. They took me to so many stores and made me try on and buy so many things, or actually they paid, much to my objection. Most of the things they bought me were dressy things I didn't like, but I still got a ton of things I did like. Alice enjoyed shopping more then any one I had ever meet, read about, or watched on t.v. If you let her lose in a store and never gave her a time to be gone, she would be there forever. I enjoyed the shopping but I didn't enjoy not seeing Jasper. I hadn't seen any of the guys since I was dragged away, I guessed they didn't want to see us try on all those clothes but I still wanted Jasper by.
At the moment I had been shoved in a dress and Alice said it was perfect for me so I was being forced to let them buy it for me. As I put the dress back on the hanger and walked out of the dressing room I was picked up in a big, cold, strong hug.
"I missed you Jojo!" Emmett still had put me down and was smiling at me.
I laughed. "Well I missed you to, in that short period of time!" Rosalie grabbed the dress and was walking to the register, I sighed and followed her.
"They forcing you to get it?" Emmett asked smirking down at me.
I stuck my tongue out at him. "Of course they are!" I yelled throwing up my arms. "They have bought me so many things, my closet isn't going to be able to hold all the junk they got me!" His laughter was making people stare, it could have been my yelling but I wanted it to me on Emmett.
"Well I'm sure you could keep some of it at our house, Alice has more than enough closet space!" I laughed with him, I was sure she did. In my mind her closet was bigger than her room.
I wanted to be nice but at the moment he was looking at him self in the mirror smiling, the opportunity was to high. "I'm not sure, your ego sure takes up a lot of space!" he looked hurt for a second then he pushed me a little to hard. Most of it was on me, I when Emmett shoved me a bit I tripped over my feet and hit my head quite hard on a wall. My face was so red as I heard Rosalie scolding Emmett, but I wasn't sure what she was saying. The pain in my head was so severe that I felt like I had a concussion.
"Are you ok!" Emmett's voice entered my mind as I was being stood up. I opened my eye and when my eyesight went back to the way it should be I saw Rosalie looking at me worried and flashing angry glances at Emmett. A few of the people in the store were looking a us as I was walked out of the store.
"I think so." I said weakly as I sat down. Rosalie sat next to me and smoothed the flat part of my hair.
"I'm so sorry Joanna!" Emmett said pulling his hair. "I should have known not to push you!"
"Emmett I am okay, you didn't do anything I tripped." I was rubbing my very sore forehead. "The only problem is I have a bad headache and you are talking loud." my head really felt like it was being torn in two. The noise around me was ear splitting, so many people were talking, walking, running, crying and laughing it was to much.
"Lets go outside." Rosalie said as Emmett helped me to my feet. When we got outside and the cold air hit me it was like I was knocked back into the right state of mind. My headache was now worse than before because I could concentrate on it. I sat on a bench next to Rosalie who just looked at me and I saw Emmett talking on the cell phone, I didn't know who it was but as soon as my name was mentioned Emmett held the phone away from his ear as who ever it was proceeded to tell at him.
As he hung up the phone and looked at Rosalie and I. "Well Jasper is coming." He looked away. Jasper was the one yelling at him? Why was he yelling at Emmett, I was the one who tripped.
"Emmett Cullen!" My head snapped back at the sound of Jasper's angry yell. "How the hell could you be so stupid?" Jasper was obviously furious about Emmett hurting me, and I was taken back.
"I didn't mean to, it was an accident!" Emmett looked strangely small against an angry Jasper.
"One hell of an accident Emmett!" as Jasper grabbed Emmett's shirt and jerked him forewords the evil vampire came back but I didn't say anything afraid that he would turn around and look at her. Rosalie had risen to her feet and was watching them carefully. "You know how bad she could have been hurt?" He roared shaking Emmett hard.
"Jasper stop it!" I yelled standing up sending a pain through my head. I didn't care Jasper was shaking Emmett to hard and he was furious. Rosalie turned around and looked at me as Jasper let go of Emmett who backed up immediately. "It was an accident!" my voice was quiet now "And your scaring me." for some reason I was afraid Jasper was mad at me. I closed my eyes and touched my head, the headache was worse due to my yelling. As I opened my eyes I was looking at Jasper's chest.
"I'm sorry I scared you." his voice was sad and quiet. "Never in my life would I mean to do that." I felt him run his fingers lightly from my chin to my forehead, the pain disappearing as he did so. "The thought of you hurt mad me angry, I'm not going to let any one hurt you." I looked at him, he wasn't smiling but in his eyes I could see four emotions above all others, Concern, affection, happiness, and satisfaction.
"But Emmett didn't hurt me." I whispered as I nearly felt my heart stop when Jasper ran his thumb over my bottom lip. My lip was trembling a bit and now he was smiling, his other hand was now on my face as well, moving along my lips with his other. His eyes held even more satisfaction as his hands moved gently over my face. I fought back the urge to close my eyes, afraid he would disappear. Things like this only happened in my dreams, in real life Jasper only saw me as a sister, or so I thought.
I heard Jasper laugh a bit. "Its amazing." he stoked my cheek. "I hear your voice and I'm calm, that's one of the things you didn't know you were good at." I nodded as he grabbed my hand. "However just one of the many things." he pointed out.
"Are there a lot?" I asked breathlessly, he looked at me like I had said a bad word.
"There are so many things!" he was leaning down to look me in the eyes. "There isn't enough time in the world." he stroked my face again. I hadn't noticed it before but Emmett and Rosalie had left. "I think they wanted to give us some privacy." he paused. "Or Emmett wanted to get away from me." he looked ashamed and I didn't like that.
"I'm sure it was the first one." I said happily, hoping that it was. He stood up straight and smiled down at me.
"We were pretty close weren't we?" he asked as I felt my face heat up. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back in the mall. I didn't mind being dragged around, or at least not by Jasper. He looked so happy now, and I loved it. He dragged me into the only sore I hadn't been to, the jewelry store that I had never been in, everything was way to much money.
"What are we doing in here?" I asked looking up at him.
He shrugged and looked around. "Just want to look around a bit, you know see what's here." his voice was casual but it held something suspicious. I shrugged it off and went to looking around when I found the most perfect necklace in the world.
"Oh that is lovely, it's a Harry Winston's diamond wreath necklace features 128 round, pear shaped, marquise diamonds totalling117,03 carats in a Platinum setting." the sales woman said smiling at me. I stepped away from the counter, there was no way I would ever be able to get that. I didn't even want to contemplate the cost.
"What?" Jasper asked placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Never in a million years would I be able to get that!" I said mad at my self for looking at anything in here. "I'm going to go to the bathroom." I said just wanting to et away from the look I was getting from the lady at the counter. When I was in the restroom I shook my head and laughed at my self, why did I look at it! Then the look she gave me, like I didn't belong there! I doubt she could afford that necklace ether, no one could get that thing. Just as I walked out of the bathroom Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Dominic were waiting for me.
"Hey, lets go!" Alice said smiling big, she pulled Dominic by the hand, and he seemed to be enjoying being pulled around as I was.
"Have fun with Jasper?" Emmett asked smiling don at me. I rolled my eyes but felt my face grow red. "I'll take that as a yes!" he walked ahead of me for some reason then I saw his grab the shoulder of a blonde guy, it didn't take long to figure out it was Jasper. I kept in the back of the group and thought about the day, it was practically the best day of my life, more Jasper would have been better, but with what happened today, it was all fine. As we reached the car Jasper held the door open for me. I felt my face heat up as he placed his hands on my waist and lifted me into the car. I kept quiet as we drove home, just looking out the window, it wasn't even dark yet. It was about maybe 6:30 and very cloudy, but it looked pretty for some reason.
I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn't notice that we had stopped until I heard the door open and close. Dominic had gotten out of the car and was walking towards the house. "OH!" I said sitting up straight. "Thanks so much for taking me today." I was really happy that I had gone.
"It was no problem!" Alice piped up, she was simply happy.
"Yeah, next time we can go look at the car parts store!" Rosalie said even more excited about that then she had been about the clothes. I got out of the car and got the rest of my things which was only one bag thanks to my brother. "See you Jojo!" Emmett yelled before I had closed the back door. I forced a smile on my face, Jasper didn't tell me bye. I guess after what happened earlier he would have at least told me bye. I heard the car door open then close then Jasper drove off.
"Joanna." I turned around and looked at Jasper confused. He was still here but the others left, why? "I can walk home, its no big deal." he answered my unasked question.
I nodded. "Okay, what do you want?" I asked as his smile grew and he grabbed my hand.
"I have a surprise for you." his face showed nothing but happiness as he reached into his pocket.
"You didn't…" my words and my heart nearly stopped as Jasper pulled out a jewelry box. "Please say that not what I think it is." my voice was shaking, he couldn't have bought that for me, I caught a glimpse of the price… way to much.
"I can't." he said as he opened it and the diamonds glittered. I put my shaking hand over my mouth. I bit my lip as tears fell from my eyes. "Why are you crying!" he asked scared "I thought you wanted it!"
"You have to take it back." my voice was shaky, Jasper actually got that for me. "I'm not worth it!" I managed to choke out.
He smiled "I know." he grabbed my face softly. "Your worth so much more." I could help my self, with out thinking I threw my arms around his cold shoulders. His body was tense for a moment and I almost let go when he wrapped his arms around me.
"You shouldn't have done that!" I said my voice muffled as my mouth was pressed against his shoulder.
"You wanted it." He countered as he let me go.
I scoffed. "I want a lot of things, but I never get them Jasper!" I whined to him as I wiped the remaining tears from my face. "People don't get all of the things they want!"
He smiled and ran his hand down my face. "You should get any little insignificant thing you want." I smiled at him and let him move his hand across my face. He walked behind me and quickly he had placed the necklace around my neck. I felt tears coming back as he moved around to face me again. "So beautiful." he muttered smiling.
"I can't believe you got me this." I whispered, he looked down at me and wiped a tear from my face. And looked upset again. "But I love it. " I lifted it up and looked at it. "No one has ever given me something like this." I smiled up at him and he smiled back.
"I'm surprised." I looked at him confused. "It surprises me that I can give you this with out messing with someone else's girl."
I scoffed loudly and he looked at me clearly shocked. "Okay, that's just stupid." that made me angry. "Don't lie like that Jasper, I can deal with you getting this and I can even deal with your fake statement of beauty, but don't mess around like that! I have never had a boyfriend and no guy other than you has said anything about me a beauty so I know it's a lie." I yelled as I turned to walk away when I felt his hand grab my wrist.
"Joanna McCarty." He was angry, and his voice stopped me more than anything, he had the most gorgeous southern accent and the anger in it made it even more desirable. "Why the hell would I lie about that! I have made no fake statement to you and I will be damned if I let you think that!" he had turned me around and had me closer to his face than I had ever been, his hands held my wrists together tightly. His black eyes and expression sent rush of fear down my spine, as well as a strange excitement …. And frankly it was turning me on a bit. "I shouldn't be telling you this but I could never lie to you, I care about you to much to lie about that!" I felt a sting of regret. "If I didn't care about you, you wouldn't be alive!"
That was the truth, he was dangerous and if he didn't care for me ….. He would have killed me "Why?" I asked as his grip on my wrists loosened. "Why would you kill me if you didn't care! What would make you do that!" he let me go.
"I have already told you to much I have to go." he said as he started to walk off.
"Jasper I'm sorry I won't ask why!" I cried not wanting him to leave me. He was quickly in front of me again, he ran his fingers over my lips then hugged me.
"Its not what you think Joanna." I felt his lips against my hair "I have something really important that I need to do so I don't hurt you." he pulled away and touched my necklace. "I will se you tomorrow, I swear." he walked away and I watched his every step. As soon as he was out of my vision I grabbed my necklace and walked in the house.
"Hey sis I put your things in your room." Dominic said as I walked in the kitchen on the way to my room. He was getting a glass of water when he turned around and his eyes got big, I knew what he was looking at. "Whoa, where the hell did you get that?" He asked setting down his glass.
"Jasper gave it to me." I said barely loud enough for him to hear as I walked into my room and laid down on my bed. That night my dreams were of Jasper, not of the monster in my previous ones but he was shinning in the sun, his body sparkled like millions of diamonds placed together and he was beautiful.
Dominic's P.O.V
After going over my sisters relationship with Jasper in my head I had laid down. She thought he only saw her as a friend but he was dead wrong. To another guy it was clear that Jasper was interested in my sister as more than a friend. I had tried to tell her about that but she only said how Alice liked me. I wished that she was right but I wasn't that lucky. Alice was the image of perfection kind, smart, unbelievably gorgeous, accepting, quirky, she seemed to always have a glow around her. But I was only her friend and as much as I wished it was more, it was only a wish.
I woke up and looked around my room and I saw the clock, 4:13. I almost went back to be when I saw my computer and nearly jumped out of bed. It was Sunday and I had a huge project on the Civil War due Monday and I hadn't started on it yet. I tuned on my computer and started the internet browser, in the search bar I typed in Civil War and tried to think of a project that my sister hadn't done yet. She had done most of the available projects, she hadn't done one on the oldest and youngest officers yet, that was my project! I took out a notebook and wrote down notes on that I found.
As I looked at the youngest officers for the confederacy and one name stood out to me. The youngest officer was named Jasper Whitlock. The stupid idea of vampires came back to me, vampires never died and it was to much of a coincidence that a suspected vampire was named Jasper and his middle name was Whitlock. They had a link to his picture and my curiosity got the better of me. When I clicked on the link I almost fell out of my chair, Jasper Whitlock was a mirror image of Jasper Whitlock Hale.
