Chapter 11
(Jasper's POV)

I held her in my arms as I breathed in her scent. I'd nearly lost her and my mating instincts were screaming at me to hold on to her and never let her go. She had to remain safe and the only way that that could happen was if she was with me. I was, after all, the most feared vampire alive at the moment and could destroy any adversary in my way that threatened those I loved.

But that wasn't the only reason why I was holding on to her like she was my lifeline. Not five feet in front of us as we stood crammed in the tiny exam area was a bleeding Tyler Crowley. His open wounds have droplets of fresh blood penetrating the air, causing my throat to feel like a white hot branding iron was shoved down it. The only thing that was keeping me grounded from not flying across the floor at him was my mate as I held her to me with my face in her neck as I breathed in her luscious scent. It was the only scent I've ever come across that smelled so delectable, and yet I had no desire to drink. As a matter of fact, he scent seemed to soothe the burn and put it out like a human drinking milk to calm themselves after chugging a bottle of tabasco sauce.

Natalie turned around in my arms and wrapped her arms around my neck. "Jasper, honey?" Natalie's quiet voice broke me out of my thoughts, yet I dared not removed my face from her neck. "What's wrong?" She asked with worry and concern lacing her tone.

"I'm okay," I mumbled against her skin. "We'll talk about it later, but for the most part… I almost lost you!" I choked out, pulling her tighter to me, yet careful enough that I didn't hurt her.

"Oh, baby, I'm safe. I'm right here." She murmured and pulled herself as close as she could and placed a gentle kiss against my neck, sending tingles throughout that side of my neck generating from the spot her lips touched causing me to suck in a breath.

The sound of Edward entering the room brought us out of our bubble as he looked toward Bella, who's eyes were closed, yet she wasn't asleep.

"Is she sleeping?" He asked causing her eyes to fly open to see Edward at the foot of her hospital gurney smirking down at her. She sent a glare his way only causing his amusement to rise.

"Hey, Edward, I'm really sorry -" Tyler began, but Edward lifted a hand to stop him.

"No blood, no foul," he said flashing his sharp white teeth while I smirked at the hidden innuendo behind his words. He moved to sit on the edge of Tyler's bed, facing the three of us as we stood at the opposite end of Bella's bed.

"So, what's the verdict?" He asked Bella with a smirk.

"There's nothing wrong with me at all, but they won't let me go," she complained. "How come the three of you aren't strapped to a gurney like Tyler and I are?"

"It's all about who you know and Natalie and Jasper weren't in between the two trucks, clearly fine." He answered. "But don't worry, I came to spring you."

It was then that Carlisle walked around the corner and I watched amused as Bella's mouth fell open while Natalie's eyebrows shot up in clear surprise. I chuckled silently to myself as I watched the typical reactions every time someone saw my 'father' for all intents and purposes. He was young and blond and handsomer than any male movie star out there even with his pale skin. He looked exhausted, even for a vampire, and definitely in need of a hunt judging by his purple circles under his eyes.

"So, Miss Swan," Carlisle smiled, "how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine," she squeaked.

He turned his attention to Natalie and I and held out a hand as he introduced himself. "I'm Jasper's father, Carlisle. It's nice to finally meet you, Natalie."

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Doctor Cullen," Natalie smiled politely in return.

"Call me Carlisle," he insisted and looked up to give me an approving smile that I returned with pride.

"Carlisle," Natalie mimicked, trying it on for size.

"I hear that you will be joining us after we finish up here. Is there anything special that you would like to eat for dinner tonight? Esme would be more than happy to prepare something for you." He inquired.

"Um, anything that she makes is fine, though she doesn't have to go out of her way just for me." She told him.

"Oh, don't be silly. It's no problem at all. As matter of fact, Esme loves cooking and will find any excuse necessary to use the kitchen." He replied waving her off as Edward and I exchanged a glance at the true meaning behind his words.

"Okay, as long as it's no trouble." She shrugged.

"Then it's settled." He nodded before walking over to the light board on the wall over Bella's head and turned it on. "Your X-rays look good," he said before turning around to shine his thin pen light into her eyes to check her pupil's reactions. He pulled back, keeping a hand on her shoulder. "Does your head hurt? Edward said that you hit it pretty hard."

"It's fine," Bella repeated with a sigh, throwing a quick scowl toward Edward. I could feel the amusement flowing from Natalie and I couldn't help but to smile.

Carlisle's cool fingers probed lightly along her skull, hitting a certain spot causing her to wince.

"Tender?" he asked.

"Not really."

Edward let out a chuckle before throwing her a patronizing smile before her eyes narrowed.

"Well girls, your father is in the waiting room – Bella, you can go home with him now. But come back if you feel dizzy or have trouble with your eyesight at all. Natalie, it was nice to meet you and I will see you later tonight!"

"Alright," Natalie smiled politely and nodded. "See you soon!"

"Wait! Can't I go back to school?" Bella asked as she threw an anxious glance at her sister.

Carlisle looked over at her uneasily. "Maybe you should take it easy today, Bella."

She glanced at Edward. "Does he get to go to school?" She pressed gesturing to him with her thumb.

"Someone has to spread the good news that we all survived," Edward said smugly.

"Actually," Carlisle corrected, "most of the school seems to be in the waiting room."

"Oh no," Bella moaned covering her face with her hands.

Carlisle raised his eyebrows. "Do you want to stay?"

"No, no!" She insisted, throwing her legs over the side of the bed and hopping down quickly. Too quickly apparently for she staggered and Carlisle had to catch her. He looked concerned as he looked up at me.

"I'm fine," she reassured him again. He must have heard of her balance problems, because he did not seem too uneasy.

"Take some Tylenol for the pain," he suggested as he steadied her.

"It doesn't hurt that bad," she insisted.

"It sounds like all of you were extremely lucky," Carlisle said smiling as he signed her chart with a flourish.

"Lucky Edward and Jasper were standing near us," she amended with a hard glace toward Edward once again.

"Oh, well, yes," Carlisle agreed, suddenly occupied with the papers in front of him. Then he looked away at Tyler and walked to the next bed. I felt Bella's intuition flicker as she continued to study Carlisle.

Shit. Don't tell me that she is suspicious too. I'm just lucky that she's not my responsibility. After all, it's Edward who has been fixated on her, though I'm not sure where he plans to take their growing 'friendship'.

"I'm afraid that you'll have to stay with us just a little bit longer," he said to Tyler and began checking his cuts. As he did this, he must have reopened the scab that was forming over them because the room was suddenly clouding with the scent of his blood. I immediately buried my face in Natalie's neck again, taking more deep breaths before breathing in one final time and holding it in my lungs long enough for us to exit the small exam room.

(Bella's POV)

As soon as the doctor's back was turned and Natalie and Jasper were out of the small room, I moved to Edward's side.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" I hissed under my breath. He took a step back from me, his jaw suddenly clenched.

"Your father is waiting for you," he said through his teeth.

I glanced at Dr. Cullen and Tyler and then over at Natalie and Jasper who were currently making their way down to the soda machine at the end of the long corridor.

"I'd like to speak with you alone, if you don't mind," I pressed.

He glared and then turned his back and strode down the long hall toward where Jasper and Natalie were. I nearly had to run to keep up. As soon as we were about half way to my sister and her boyfriend, we turned the corner into a short hallway. He spun around to face me.

"What do you want?" he asked, sounding annoyed. His eyes were cold. His unfriendliness intimidated me. My words came out with less severity than I'd intended. "You owe me an explanation," I reminded him.

"I saved your life – I don't owe you anything."

I flinched back from the resentment in his voice. "You promised."

"Bella, you hit your head, you don't know what you're talking about." His tone was cutting.

My temper flared now, and I glared defiantly at him. "There's nothing wrong with my head."

He glared back. "What do you want from me, Bella?"

"I want to know the truth," I said. "I want to know why my sister and I are lying for both you and your brother."

"What do you think happened?" he snapped.

It came out in a rush. "All I know is that neither of you were anywhere near us – Tyler didn't see either one of you either, so don't tell me I hit my head too hard. And I'm willing to bet that if I go over there and ask Natalie right now, she will say the same thing. That van was going to crush all of us – and it didn't, and your hands left dents in the side of it – and you left a dent in the other car and you're not hurt at all – neither is Jasper! Natalie should have gotten crushed right along with me, but one second she was there and the next…she was in the bed of the truck under Jasper! Not to mention that the van should have smashed my legs, but you were holding it up…" I could hear how crazy it sounded and I couldn't' continue. I was so mad I could feel the tears coming; I tried to force them back by grinding my teeth together.

He was staring at me incredulously, but his face was tense, defensive. "You think I lifted a van off of you?" His tone questioned my sanity, but it only made me more suspicious. It was like a perfectly delivered line by a skilled actor.

I merely nodded once, jaw tight.

"Nobody will believe that, you know." His voice held an edge of derision now.

"I'm not going to tell anybody." I said each word slowly, carefully controlling my ever rising anger.

Surprise flitted across his face. "Then why does it matter?"

"It matters to me," I insisted. "I don't like to lie – so there'd better be a good reason why I'm doing it."

"Can't you just thank me and get over it?"

"Thank you." I waited, fuming and expectant.

"You're not going to let it go, are you?"

"No."

"In that case… I hope you enjoy disappointment."

(Natalie's POV)

"So you're going to explain everything to me later tonight?" I asked Jasper and I squatted down and scooped up the Pepsi bottle just after it had fallen down to the slot for me to grab it.

"Yes, darlin'," Jasper confirmed. "Though, I am a little anxious about your reaction. I almost lost you once today and even the prospect of losing you again makes my chest hurt painfully.

I reached up and cupped his jaw, taking note of how much cooler his skin was compared to my own. I knew that it wasn't because of the outside temperature, because we've been indoors now for over an hour.

"I can't picture my life without you right now no matter how horrific your explanation could be." I reassured him before stretching up on the tips of my toes to place a chaste kiss on his hard, marble-like lips as they molded to mine.

We then pulled back and he leaned forward, pressing his forehead against my own. "I really hope so, sweetheart, but if it's not the case, I won't hold it against you." He whispered, placing a quick peck on my nose before taking my hand and leading me in the direction where the voices of my sister and Edward were talking in hushed tones, though they were clearly having some sort of hushed argument.

When we had found Edward and Bella around the corner from the soda machine they were scowling at each other in silence. I looked up at Jasper in confusion causing him to just shrug before he wrapped an arm around my shoulder, pulling me in slightly to place a kiss on my temple.

"Why did you even bother?" Bella asked Edward frigidly causing both Jasper and I to turn our focus towards them once again.

He paused and for a brief moment vulnerability peaked through his facade, but it was gone just as quickly as it appeared. "I don't know," he whispered before he turned his back on all three of us and walked away.

Bella's anger was clearly overpowering and she stood there frozen, still looking at the spot where Edward had once stood.

"Bella? Are you alright?" I asked my sister tentatively.

She shook herself out of her thoughts before looking over at her Jasper and I uneasily. "I'll be fine." She sighed and looked down at the door at the opposite end of the hallway that lead to the waiting room with a look of dread in her features.

Knowing what I had to do, I sighed and turned to face Jasper. "I am going to go home with my sister and get her settled in. Is it alright if I call you when I'm done and you can come and pick me up? It won't take long, I promise."

He looked slightly panic-stricken, though he seemed to cover it up and give me an uneasy smile as he nodded. "Yeah, it's fine."

I couldn't say that I blamed him, because the thought of being away from him right now put me on edge as well and made me feel very anxious and uncomfortable. I didn't have time to wonder what it was about, because I could see Charlie pacing outside of the door as he paced nervously in front of the two narrow windows that were set in the double doors.

"I'll call you soon," I reassured Jasper once more before rising up to peck his lips and turning away with my sister trailing along beside me.

"What's up with you two?" She asked.

I tilted my head in befuddlement and quirked a brow. "What do you mean?" I asked her.

"You both act like it's the end of the world just because the two of you won't be joined at the hip. I've never seen anything like it." Bella answered as we neared the doors.

I shrugged. "I don't know how to explain it; it just doesn't feel right without him near." I told her pushing against the one of the doors as she pushed against the other. "I don't understand it either."

The waiting room was rather unpleasant. It seemed like every face Bella and I knew in Forks were there, staring at us. Charlie rushed over to us and I immediately put up my hands in surrender.

"There's nothing wrong with either of us," I assured him defensively knowing that Bella was still aggravated and not in the mood for chitchat.

"What did the doctor say?" He asked.

"Dr. Cullen saw me, and he said I was fine and could go home." Bella sighed..

"Dr. Cullen? Jasper's father?"

"Yeah," I nodded. "I'm to go over there for dinner tonight. Is that alright with you, Dad or did you need me for something else?"

"No, it's fine sweetheart. You go have fun tonight. I like Jasper and Dr. Cullen has always been a big asset to our little town." He answered as we began to walk towards the front desk inside the waiting room to sign the insurance paperwork. We could see that Mike and Jessica and Eric were all there beginning to converge on us.

"Let's go," Bella urged. She was even less of a fan of the attention than I was.

Charlie put one arm behind each of our backs, not quite touching us, and led us to the double glass doors of the exit. I waved sheepishly at my friends, Bella mimicking me as she ducked her head shyly. She practically ran over to the cruiser the second that she saw it and jumped in the back, shutting the door behind her.

._.-:'~ Unimaginable Outcomes ~':-._.

We drove in silence. We were all so wrapped up in our own thoughts that we barely knew the other existed. I couldn't help but to think about what kind of explanation Jasper would give me for the abnormal burst of strength delivered by his brother, along with the impossible speed, amazing reflexes, changing eye color, freezing cold skin, marble hard bodies, not to mention this crazy connection that the two of us seem to have. He has left me more mystified than anything by the whole experience.

When we got to the house, Charlie was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

"Um… Bella, you'll need to call Renee, though I wouldn't go far Natalie. She'll probably want to talk to you too." He hung his head, guilty.

Bella was appalled. "You told Mom!"

"Sorry."

She slammed the cruiser's door a little harder than necessary on her way out.

Mom was in hysterics, of course. I can't even tell you how many times we had to tell her that we both felt fine before she would calm down. She begged us to come home – forgetting the fact that home was empty at the moment – but her pleas were easier to resist than either of us would have thought.

I was consumed by the mystery Jasper presented. And more than a little obsessed by Jasper himself, just as he clearly was with me. I wasn't as eager to escape Forks as I should be, as any normal, sane person would be and Bella surprisingly wasn't either, though I think that had more to do with Edward than the scenery itself.

A knock on my bedroom door distracted me from my most recent diary entry and I told whoever it was to come in. Bella poked her head inside asking if she could come in. I waved her in and she closed the door behind her before collapsing next to me on the mattress, letting out a deep sigh.

"Are you okay?" I asked her in concern.

Her eyes found mine, though she didn't turn her head from staring up at the ceiling. "I just have a lot on my mind."

I looked at her suspiciously and closed my diary, leaning over to put it in the drawer of my nightstand. "Does it have anything to do with Edward Cullen?" I asked quirking a brow.

Her eyes looked back over at me again and she sighed before readjusting herself to face me completely. "Natty, have you ever noticed anything weird about the Cullen's?"

I bit my lip and looked down into my lap, not quite sure if I should say anything. But then again, it's kind of hard to dispute the fact that she had a close up view of Edward lifting a full sized van off her legs with one hand as if it was made of stirophome.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that," I murmured, fiddling with the seams of my quilt.

"What do you think is going on with them? Has Jasper ever said anything to you?" She asked.

I decided that I would keep the fact that he was supposed to grace me with his explanation tonight, because I wasn't sure exactly what it would be and because of the seriousness of the topic. I felt guilty lying to my twin, but I had a feeling that the less she knew, the better in favor of her safety and because I didn't want to betray Jasper's trust.

"No, he hasn't said anything to me," I answered resigned.

She continued to stare at me in silence and then hummed in response. "There's just something different about them, aside from what happened this morning. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but I have to say that you've been acting different too."

My eyebrows scrunched in confusion, not quite understanding what she meant. "I don't understand?"

She shifted somewhat nervously. "I don't know how to describe it, but ever since you met Jasper… I don't know… forget it. I don't even know what I'm saying."

I pursed my lips in wonder and grunted.

Just then the doorbell downstairs rang, echoing throughout the house.

"That must be Jasper," I sighed, excitement building inside of me. I couldn't help it. Every time I even thought of him, I felt a mass of butterflies flapping their wings wildly in my stomach. Whenever he touched me, an electrical sensation would tingle throughout me, originating from the spot there his skin met mine.

I scooted off my large sleep number bed that I had shipped here from Phoenix before we came and skipped over to my closet to grab my parka and my suede knee-high boots. I then made my way out of my room and down the stairs with Bella following behind me.

Charlie was standing in the middle of the entry way at the bottom of the steps talking to Jasper. I could hear that he was thanking him for pulling me out of the way as Jasper humbly waved him off.

Upon hearing Bella and I, they both turned their focus towards the two of us as Jasper smiled and held out his hand for me to take. I intertwined my fingers with his as he leaned in and kissed my temple, causing me to blush. I noticed Bella was studying Jasper and I gave her a look, telling her to knock it off.

"Well, you guys have a good night, but don't be out too late. You have school tomorrow." Charlie warned.

"Don't worry, sir," Jasper reassured him. "I will have her home at a reasonable time."

"Bye, Dad," I waved. "Bye Bells," I leaned forward and kissed my sister's cheek.

"By e Natty,"

From there we exited hand in hand through the front door, complete nervous and unsure regarding what I was about to walk in to.
