Life really sucks sometimes and the guys I know, and used to like, are jerks
I shrieked and groped around on my side table to find the light without taking my eyes off the person at the foot of my bed that hadn't moved since I'd woken up. Finally I found the switch and flicked my light on. I closed my eyes for the briefest second against the sudden flash of light and then opened them again and gasped.
The person was gone.
I shook my head and fell back into my pillows. I must have been hallucinating or something because there was no way someone could have come into my room and then left in the blink of an eye.
I sighed and sat up again before getting out of bed and going over to check the doors and windows.
Yep the doors were all locked as they had been and so was the window. There was no way anyone would have been able to get out that fast without me noticing.
Unless they were still here.
I gasped as this thought occurred to me and I immediately started searching my entire room to see if there was any trace of someone being here but after an hour of searching had passed I was still empty-handed.
I shook my head and laughed to myself quietly; maybe I was going crazy. I pulled on my robe and opened the door to the corridor. I put my head into the corner and padded through to the dining room where I opened the French windows and walked onto the balcony that over-looked the pool.
I leaned against the railing and looked out into the night while thinking about everything that had happened since I got here.
Suddenly I frowned and leaned further over the balcony, squinting into the darkness. I thought I had just seen…but no…it couldn't be.
I gasped again.
Jasper Cullen was standing outside my house, right beneath where I stood right now.
"Bella?" I recognised the slight drawl in his hushed whisper.
"Jasper? What on earth are you doing standing outside my house? How did you get here?" I hissed at him.
"Bella I would like to be able to see your face when I talk to you. I'm coming up." I was shocked into silence. First Jasper's brother attacks me, now Jasper himself shows up to my house without an explanation and now he's climbing up my balcony to talk to me when he hasn't said anything to me outside of a very busy airport. Great.
"Jasper you are officially the craziest person I have ever met." I stopped myself from adding "But also the hottest".
"Thanks for the confidence boost Bella." He grunted as he pulled himself over the railing next to where I was standing. I backed away a bit.
"Bella I came to apologise for my brother's behaviour earlier. How much did Carlisle tell you?" He asked. I paused for a minute; did he have to come in the middle of the night? What was wrong with coming to my house in the day time like a normal person?
"He told me Edward suffered from xenophobia especially when strangers come into the house and he told me that his skin was so cold because he had had an ice pack on it. He said the crash came from a shelf unit falling over in the kitchen." I breathed in deeply having said all this in one breath. He rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. He opened his mouth to say something but I jumped in before he could.
"Why did you have to come and apologize now? Why not during daylight?" I questioned. He turned away from me.
"I don't know Bella. I just felt the need to come and apologize now." He turned and looked deep into my eyes before jumping over the railing and disappearing from sight without another word.
Weird huh? Can't really call that a cliff hanger can I? Sorry it's short. Thanks to everyone whose put me on Favourite and Alert lists but can I please get somemore reviews?! Love ya all
