Jaspers Pov
This day started like every other day since Bella left…alone. I laid onto my Bed. Alice wouldn't dare bring Edward to sleep in this bed. They didn't touch the cottage either, it smelled too much of Renesmee and Bella, even they weren't that evil. Esme and Carlisle had decided that they needed to take some time off to gather their thoughts. Rosalie and Emmett were at Tanya's. I didn't care that much to think about where or what Edward and Alice were doing. I walked outside when I say the mailman put something in our box. It was Sunday; mail wasn't supposed to be delivered unless it was certified mail. I didn't wait until he was far enough before I peeled to the mail box. My anticipation was short lived as I pulled a letter out from the box. It wasn't for me, or for anyone else for that matter. The man delivering the mail had given us the wrong mail. I could run after him, or I could face the fact that Bella would never write back ever again. It was a hopeless cause. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, it was Esme.
"Hey,"
"Any mail?"
"Mom it's Sunday, they don't deliver today,"
"Are you sure?"
"Positive, anyway we did get someone else's mail, do you think I should go to the post office?"
"Yes I think you should, it would be the right thing to do."
"Okay, I'll talk to you later."
I closed the phone and sighed, it still had just sunk it that I would never communicate with Bella ever again. I pulled my jacket on and grabbed the keys to my car. The ride was quiet, I didn't feel like listening to any kind of music; they always seemed to find a way to be about Bella. Just like yesterday when I turned the radio on my room; Lucky by James Mraz ft. Colbie Caillat was playing and the only thing I could see was Bella.
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
The song had gotten to me so much that I slammed it onto the wall breaking it to pieces. So listening to a song while in the car was a definite no.
There was a long line at the post office, it didn't bother me though; I had absolutely nothing waiting for me at home. By the time they had called next a good twenty minutes had passed. I walked up to the designated spot and tried my best to look friendly.
"I just wanted to return this," I slid the letter towards the middle aged man with the uniform. "It looks like they must've brought it to the wrong house," He smiled and took the letter.
"I guess that means you don't have your mail?"
"Actually no, but I'm certain nothing came in today,"
"You'd be surprised; people these days are sending certified mail more than the regular kind. Would you like me to check?" Would it hurt to check? Yes it would hurt, it would hurt to see the man come out empty handed. But Esme would appreciate that I checked before giving up.
"Sure." I jotted down my address and gave it to him. He smiled then disappeared behind an endless rack of boxes.
In exactly 2 minutes he reappeared with something in his hand. Immediately I knew it was from her. The smell of freesias was strong as he handed it to me.
"Hmm looks like you did get something. Have a good day," I smiled and turned just as he yelled next.
The ride home was quick and fast, I wanted nothing more than to be in my room while I read the letter Bella had sent me. I swear I felt my cold heart beat as I opened the letter. But instantly I felt my face frown as I saw my pen in the bottom of the package. This wasn't a letter of reconciliation; it was a letter of attack. As I began to read, a slow smile grew. Bella had actually written back to me to say that she was sorry. Everything that seemed horrible suddenly didn't matter, Bella cared about me. Everything was going to be okay… I had my Bella back.
Bella's POV
"Mom, they don't send mail on Sunday, and he probably just got it. You won't be getting anything back until tomorrow." Renesmee went on and on.
"Are you trying to make me sad?"
"She's right Bells…just be patient." The phone rang and I ran to it.
"Hello is this Miss Isabella Swan?" A high pitched voice asked.
"Yes, this is she."
"Yes, we have a very important package at the Post Office for you, from one Jasper Cullen," I squealed. I didn't even know that the Post Office was open on Sunday's…Renesmee made sure I knew it.
"Are you okay ma'am?" Jasper must've had a connection.
"Um, yes, I'm fine. When can I pick it up?"
"Now is fine."
"Isn't the Post Office closed at this time?" I just had to make sure.
"Yes, but Jasper Cullen is a preferred customer," she said proudly. A very rich customer I thought to myself.
"Ah, I see, okay I'll be there in two,"
Before the woman could reply, I hung up the phone and bolted out the door. When I got back I could see that Renesmee and Jacob had to left to see a "movie." I silently thanked Jacob and plopped down onto the couch to read. I tore the letter open, reading it slowly.
My dearest Bella,
Words cannot describe how I am feeling right now. I don't feel alone anymore. Waiting two years for this day was worth it. You don't need to apologize; I just hope that you have forgiven me. I want you to know that you're all that I think about. I truly miss you and am glad to read that you still consider us best friends. I want you to know that even with you in Alaska, I feel very close to you now. Maybe you don't feel this way too but letters take forever to send, (or it's just me) maybe you could call? Never mind… we should take things slow. I would like to earn your trust Bella. We could instant message. Whatever you choose will be okay with me.
-Jasper Hale
P.S my AOL instant messenger screen name is JBW
I read it over again. I didn't think I could call, not yet at least. I don't think that I could hear his warm voice without wanting to run back home, which was a definite no no. But I could most definitely chat.
I pulled out my laptop and made a new screen name, BSwan. I would've used my old one but it was so stupid; 4ever. I shook my head and nervously signed on. I added Jasper as a buddy and immediately saw that he was signed on. Why was I suddenly shaking? This was just Jasper we were talking about; get a hold of yourself Bella! I double clicked his name, opening a chat box. I read his status: The most beautiful things in life are the ones you lost then get back. I started to type.
BSwan: I'm here, well not there but… you know what I mean. God I really was screwing this up. A message popped up instantly
JBW: I know exactly what you mean Bella.
BSwan: I'm sorry Jasper… for everything
JBW: Don't apologize Bella, I'm just glad that you're actually talking to me
BSwan: I took me a while I know. But after reading what you wrote in your book, I knew that I had to talk to you.
JBW: It was all true Bella, I truly do miss you
This part was easy.
BSwan: I miss you too Jasper…a lot. So how are things?
JBW: honestly, not good
BSwan: it's because of me isn't it?
JBW: No not at all
BSwan: Jasper
JBW: Yes?
BSwan: I miss you
JBW: Me too Bella, more than you know.
I was true, the longer that I talked or chatted whatever you would call it, the more I wanted to be with him, to smell him, to hug him, to….kiss him. But what if Jasper only wanted to be just friends, how could I be just his friend?
JBW: Is everything alright? He was responding to be being idle for about 1 minute
BSwan: I was just thinking
JBW: About?
BSwan: How things went down two years ago at the clearing
JBW: Me too
BSwan: And also about the time we spent together. I yelled at you that day and claimed that you did it because you felt bad… was I right?
JBW: No Bella, of course not. Our time was genuine, I can promise you that.
BSwan: No pity?
JBW: No pity
BSwan: Thanks
JBW: You are quite a character Bella
BSwan: So I've been told
JBW: I hope you don't mind me asking, but I hope you and Nessie aren't using your looks to rob banks
BSwan: Why I'd never ;)
JBW: Oh have you forgotten poor Nathaniel?
BSwan: Are you ever going to let that go?
JBW: But really, how are you providing for Nessie? And Jacob!
BSwan: Don't worry, I work
JBW: Doing what exactly?
BSwan: I don't want to say
JBW: Not even for me?
BSwan: ok, ok, only for you
JBW: Ok what is it?
BSwan: I assemble toy trucks
JBW: :)
BSwan: You're not laughing are you?
JBW: Of course I am Bella. Truck? Toy trucks?
BSwan: I know it's bad, but it's the only job I could get
JBW: Why don't you just cash the checks Carlisle sends?
BSwan: Because Jasper, if I start accepting money then I'll get phone calls, then plane tickets back to Forks. I'll be sucked back to family and I don't want all that.
JBW: ouch
I looked at the screen with horror, why had I typed that?
BSwan: sorry I didn't mean it like that. I've been on my own for a while Jasper, I don't need your money.
JBW: fair enough…but would you ever…visit?
I'm not sure I would… ever.
BSwan: too soon to say Jasper, I'm not sure I'm ready for all of that
JBW: I understand Bella
BSwan: so…
JBW: you've never been the one to be speechless. Bella, just talk to me
BSwan: I don't want too ask to many questions
JBW: I'd be worried if you didn't. Just say what's on your mind.
BSwan: okay
Here goes nothing.
BSwan: are Edward and Alice…well together now? Still?
JBW: somewhat. They break up often but always make up. It's quite sickening.
BSwan: oh
JBW: are you okay with that?
Of course I was. I could care less about Edward and Alice/
BSwan: Yes… just curious. Does he ever talk about me? Renesmee?
JBW: Not publicly but yes, when he is alone with Carlisle.
BSwan: What does he say?
JBW: Nothing good, he claims that you've brainwashes Renesmee from calling or sending letters
BSwan: What!
JBW: yes, he says that if you really did care, you would come visit with her
I snarled silently to myself.
BSwan: everyday she used to sit near the phone. Every day she watched ad he never called Jasper! I never told her she couldn't. You have to believe me.
JBW: I do Bella, without a doubt. How is Renesmee now?
BSwan: she could care less now if he called, she is happy that we're talking though
JBW: really?
BSwan: yes really, she misses you
JBW: I miss her too
I looked at the clock, it was late
BSwan: I want to chat longer, but I have to go and get Renesmee ready for bed.
JBW: Does she go to school?
BSwan: yes
JBW: who is marked sown as her legal guardian or parent?
BSwan: me
JBW: be careful Bella
BSwan: I am careful, everyone knows me as her big sister who dropped out of school. Everything is fine
JBW: you got it all planned out
BSwan: yes
JBW: well tell her I said hi
BSwan: I will
JBW: be safe my Bella
BSwan: I promise
JBW: Bye
BSwan: wait Jasper
JBW: yes?
BSwan: will you still be on to talk to me tomorrow?
JBW: for you Bella…forever
I closed the chat window and sighed in relief, I had my Jasper back.
Jaspers POV
I counted the minutes, the hours she had been gone. I took the time to think about Alaska. Bella hates snow but she had rather have to trudge through it all day then to be here, to be constantly reminded of how he husband had been unfaithful. It was hard not to start running, to be at house by tomorrow. I wanted so much to be near her, even if she didn't want to be with me in that way, I would be satisfies with just holding her hand like we always had.
The next day I waited until 9:00 to sign on. A beep sounded on my laptop.
BSwan: now you have dish… how are you dealing with all of this?
JBW: I'm fine Bella, I'm more interested in talking about you right now
BSwan: my life is boring Jasper, I am boring
JBW: Bell you've never been boring in my eyes
BSwan: you have to say that
JBW: no, it's the truth Bella; every time we chat I'm fascinated
BSwan: I wish I could blush
JBW: really?
BSwan: I'm finding out more and more everyday that there are human qualities that I wish I still had
JBW: so you regret ever changing?
BSwan: of course not! Look at all I've gotten from changing; my daughter and of course you
JBW: me?
BSwan: yes you Jasper, you've become so much for me. I'm not sure where'd be without you
This had to be a sign that Bella had loved me then and still does now.
JBW: I feel the same way Bella
BSwan: I haven't done anything but caused you pain Jasper
JBW: is that the way you sum up our time together? Painful?
BSwan: Not for me but for you
JBW: Bell, the time that we spent together were the best times in my entire life
BSwan: wow
JBW: I know, but it's true, you've changed me
BSwan: um…this is weird
JBW: I know it's a lot to take it and I don't expect for you to say the same
BSwan: no, no, Jasper, it's weird because I do feel the same way
JBW: you do?
BSwan: I'm definitely not the Same Bella who came to your house all those years ago
JBW: yes, this Bella is so much more independent
BSwan: thank you Jasper
We talked all night until she left for work. Bella and I were getting our new beginning.
