Observations - Chapter 10

A.N. OMG I am so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sorry for the long wait. Work and life have invaded my life more and more lately. Also this story isn't act as I want it to and I've re-written this many times over already.

I want to thank everyone for the wonderful reviews. I never expected to get more then a handful, so I'm still shocked over what you have all written to me. They mean a lot.

OK. Now on to the story.

Chapter 10 - **School day went normal, and Bella hid out in the music room for lunch to avoid the Cullen's. We are now in the halls after the last bell has rung**

JPOV

Wonder where she is. I saw Bella in the halls today, but she didn't come to lunch. I hope she didn't forget.

"Chill Bro. She'll be here. Don't twist into a pretzel."

"Emmett, shut it before I...."

"Before you what? Jazz?..."

There she is, raising to wave to her, calling out, "Bella, over here!"

Watching her cheeks turn a soft red, hearing her heart beat a little faster. Shes so beautiful.

"Hi Bella. Missed you at lunch today."

"Oh. I'm sorry Jasper. I had a lot of work still to catch up on and didn't get the chance in the evening so I went to the library to work on it instead, and then time just got away from me. OK, You can stop me at anytime. I'm rambling"

laughing softly at the beautiful rambling, and the wonderful color she's turning.

"It's OK Bella. rambling works well with us. We're used to Alice. She can go a mile a minute if you let her."

"I hear that Jasper Hale. Just for that, I'm kidnapping Bella for a bit once we all get home."

"Sorry Bella. I'll do my best to try and stop her. But I don't know if I'll be able to."

BPOV

Did she just say kidnap?

"It's OK Jasper, but what does she mean by kidnap. Don't you all live in the same house?"

"Ya, but Alice loves to improve on people. None of us gets to buy what we want for clothing. Alice does it all. I'm sue shes already bought some clothes for you too."

Clothes, oh no...I can't change in front of them. They'll see.

"I don't know Jasper. I'm not good with fashion stuff"

"Just tell her know. It might work."

"That's not very reassuring Jasper."

"I know. Should we go?"

"Am I following you in my truck?"

"I was thinking that I could ride with you. My family will all go together. It wont be so crowded for once."

Jasper Hale, in my truck. Did I just stop breathing?

"Ummm. OK Jasper, that should be good. I know my truck isn't the most comfortable."

"It will be great, and our drive is hard to find. I'll direct you there. And we can talk without other ears around."

"Alright, lets go then."

JPOV

Alone with Bella. One of the few moments I'll have today, since once we get home everyone will be able to hear everything no matter where we are in the house.

Alone with Bella. What do I say?

"So tell me a little bit about yourself?"

Did she just flinch?

BPOV

Alone with Jasper. Just us. What do I say?

Wait. Oh no. He wants to know about me. What do I say?

I can't tell him about my home. I don't have a life.

OK squirming not good when your hurt. I hope he didn't notice.

"Me. Hmm. I'm pretty much what you see. I'm boring. I go to school, go home. It's just me and my father *hide the shudder* at home. I love to read just about anything I can get my hands on."

"I love to read too. Mostly history books, though I don't mind a good mystery. Reading is a good way to escape when you live with so many siblings."

"I bet. It's good too, when you don't have any siblings."

"Tell me more about you. Who are you Bella Swan?"

"That is me Jasper. Me, my books, and my music."

"Music? how do you mean?"

"Oh I love to write songs and I sing."

Our conversation turns to music, what he likes, what I like. My nerves falling away as we talk. Jasper letting me know when to turn. I completely forget to ask about him.

Jasper directs me up a twisty dirt road, through some gorgeous trees. OH NO. Is that his house? OK Bella, breath. In. Out. I can barely hear Jasper's voice.

JPOV

"We're here Bella. Bella?"

Whats wrong with her. She's white as a sheet.

Reaching out to take her shoulder and she suddenly slumps sideways.

"BELLA!"

A.N.

Thank you for being patient. Sorry. I know I said dinner would be this chapter, but then I remembered. I had to get Bella to their house.

Hopefully it won't be so long between chapters this time, I'll update as soon as I can. Keep the reviews coming.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!
