AN: Thanks to all who have read and reviewed. Ok so the story is finally moving along! Thank God! I just realised that there was still so much to do before Jasper and Bella finally join up so instead of giving you another chapter or two before the reunion, I decided to keep two promises. Yeno, kill two birds with one stone and all that. Ok one promise was that this will be the reunion chapter and the other promise was for longer chapters. And this is by far the longest chapter I have written. Tell me what you think! Enjoy …
Bella's POV
I can't believe I'm putting all my trust in someone I've only talked to one time over the phone. This is insane. What would Charlie think? This is completely irresponsible and kind of stupid. This is not like me at all. And do you know what? I love it. I love the thrill, the excitement, the sense of danger and adventure. I love how this kind of thing is not typically expected of me, plain ol' Bella Swan!
I'm sitting on my bed in my very dark bedroom. My window is shut and locked like it has been every night this week since I found Edward watching me sleep. I really like Eddie and all, but that shit's messed up. My lights are off and everything in the room is switched off. My bag is already packed. I am waiting here in the dark silence. All I have to do is sit here and wait for the sound of Charlie's police cruiser leaving for the graveyard shift at the station.
I know it's cowardly not to say goodbye to my dad in person but it would just hurt too much and I don't think he would just let me go all that easily. He would want an explanation, an explanation that I can't give him. He would want to know where I'm going, when I have no clue myself. He would want to know that I'm safe with who ever I'm with and where ever I go and I do not know that I will be safe. Like I said there is a sense of danger.
I will miss Charlie dearly but I have to do this. I have to do this for me to see what could happen if I just let myself take a chance every now and again.
Tonight I, Bella Swan, will step out of my good girl persona to take a walk on the wild side.
**Earlier in the day. That Morning**
Alice's POV
"Jazzy, you packed yet?" I called to Jasper. We've been getting along much better this past week. Even though he hasn't given into my advances yet, I think he finally realised that I am who he wants. Not that stupid, fragile human girl Bella Swan. I bet that Jasper feels horrendous for how he has treated me for the past month. He's probably going to get me a gift to make up for it. That's why I can't really see the future very clearly. It's because my Jazzy is trying to surprise me. It won't work for long though, he will slip up and I will be able to see what he has planned for me. I hope its jewellery or clothes. Or maybe it's another honeymoon so we can 'reconnect'. Not knowing what he has got for me is driving me absolutely insane.
"Sure do Alice, all packed." Jasper's voice brought me out of my musings as he walked into my closet where I was currently packing. "But, Allie, we have to talk." Oh no, that doesn't sound good at all.
"Erm … ok Jazzy take a seat." Once we are both seated I urge him to continue. "So what did you want to say to me Jazz?" I ask him nervously fidgeting with my hands.
I have this bad feeling that he doesn't want to discuss honeymoon plans at the moment he's too tense.
"Come on Jasper I'm a big girl I can handle it. I promise I won't interrupt until you are finished. Just say what ever is on your mind."
After a deep breathe Jasper started to talk. "Alice, you know that I do love you very much. I owe you so much for all that you have done for me. You stopped me from being the worst kind of monster. You saved me, my life, my sanity, and my soul. And I will be eternally grateful." As I tried to interrupt Jasper raised his hand for me to stop that he wasn't finished. I start to think that this isn't as bad as I anticipated.
"You, Allie have been my life for the last number of decades. From even before we found the Cullens. You were always there. However …" What? It was going so well. There is no however. "… I've lived for you Alice for so long that I've lost myself. My true self. Not the person y'all want me to be to fit in with your perfect lives but the real and true Jasper Whitlock!" Y'all? God he really is starting to revert back after all my hard work!
"Alice, you … and the Cullens have taught me so much and I will never forget that, but, I think … I think that it's time for me to take a break from the family for a while. I love y'all very much and will miss y'all something fierce, however I feel that if I ever want full control of my blood lust, I must first have full control of me." Oh that asshole! He doesn't lack control with his blood lust. That's all me. This little speech of his is just making me angrier and angrier. Add that to that stupid southern drawl and my rage is hitting high levels. He is ruining what I've worked for the last too many years on!
"I know it's hard but, I'm going to stay with Peter and Charlotte for a while to … reconnect with my roots. I will always be indebted to you Alice but I don't think that we are meant for each other and … this will be the perfect opportunity to see. You understand, don't 'cha? Allie?"
Oh … My … God! That BASTARD! The nerve of him. After everything I've done for that ungrateful son of a bitch, he thinks he can just break up with me? Well he has another thing coming, if he thinks that shit will fly with me.
"No. No, no, no, no, NO!" I screeched at him while rising from my sitting position on the bed.
"Excuse me?" He questioned with an eyebrow raised and an incredulous look on his face.
"You listen to me and you listen good Jasper Hale." I said to him in a deceivingly calm manner putting emphasis on Hale. "You will NOT be going to visit those good for nothing human drinkers, Peter and Charlotte. You will not leave to find 'Your true self'" I spat at him in disgust, "you will not leave the Cullens at all. And most importantly, YOU WILL NOT LEAVE ME, your love, your wife, YOUR MATE. You are MINE, Jasper Hale! And I will not let you walk out on me for some cheap slut! I will fight for you and I will win! Do you understand me Jasper? I exploded at him. My rage was through the roof. That ungrateful bastard!
As I stood there, breathing heavily stewing in my unpleasant thoughts of what I just said, I realised my mistake. In my moment of passion I had lost all sense. I had not only inadvertently told Jasper I knew about Bella but I also insulted her. I just insulted the one person, who in all the time that I have known him, nearly set free the dark creature that resides within Jasper. And now he may feel like she is being threatened. Oh fuck my life.
Looking at Jasper I see that his eyes have turned pitch black and it is clear to see that he has one into Major mode. And un-fucking-luckily for me, I just insulted the major's soul mate. Yeah, I'm screwed!
Jasper's POV
How fucking dare she? That little bitch. Does she not know who I am? I am Major Jasper Whitlock and I won't stand for her shit any longer. She can try as she might to control me but I will not fucking let her. If I want to go to Peter and Charlotte's then I will. If I want to permanently leave the family then I will. And if I want to leave her then no one will fucking stop me and another thing …
Jasper think over what she just said.
Oh Jesus I am so not in the mood for you. What the fuck do you mean?
Ghee you are slow. Alice just said and I quote "I will not let you walk out on me for some cheap slut".
She better not mean Bella. That means she has known that Bella is my true soul mate all along. No, I don't believe it Alice would not be that much of a heartless self centred bitch!
She means our Isabella. And of course she would be that much of a fucking callous whore. Think about all the fucked up emotions you have been getting from her Jasper! She deserves to pay for lying to us. And for making us fuck her boring in bed ass for the last too many years! But most importantly for insinuating that OUR Isabella was nothing but a cheap slut! Come on Jazzman let me out. We could have some fun with her. I promise I won't kill her and that I'll give her a trial first. We could just scare her a bit and maybe rough her up a little. Please Jasper, you know you want to. Let the major out.
But it's Alice I don't see her doing such a thing. She wouldn't I know her.
Well Whitlock the surgery was a complete fucking success, you are now a fully fledge girl! Being like that with your mate is fine but not with that skank bitch. What would Peter think of you now Whitlock? Come on Jasper; let me out to show Alice whose boss! She needs to know! She thinks she better than Isabella for fuck sake! She thinks she better than your mate!
No one, and I do mean NO ONE is better than MY Isabella!
Finally, I see some balls! I also see the light! Oh Jasper, you're letting me take over. How nice of you! Fucking sweet! Time for some fun.
I can feel the beast take over as I acknowledge Alice's distaste towards my mate!
Alice's POV
"What did you just say?" He hissed at me with black eyes and I knew that it would not be a good time to fuck with him. I need an excuse and fast.
Think, Think, Think! Oh for fuck sake Alice use you're fucking brain and quick. I don't want to die!
Wait … I didn't directly offend or threaten Isabella. That could work in my favour.
"Fucking answer me Alice. Right the fuck now! What did you mean when you said, 'I will not let you walk out on me for some cheap slut'?"
"Well … you see … I didn't … I wouldn't … I didn't mean …" I stuttered out only to be interrupted by Jasper.
"I'm not a patient man Alice! Enough of all this fucking about, answer me when I ask you a question."
"What I meant Jazzy," I say in a small scared and submissive voice, "is that for years we have been happy with each other. We were so in love. I still love you and see you as mine, so much so that I lost my mind for a second. I really love you with all my heart. I thought we were forever. And so when you said that you were leaving me I just flipped out. I figured that the only reason you would leave me after so many happy and peaceful years together is because some other vampire was offering herself up to you, and even though we are going through some problems at the moment I don't want to lose you to some sleazy, slutly succubus who only wants you for one thing and who will never love you as much as I."
"Well Alice, let me tell you something, that may be all well and good but don't think for one second that you fool me. I will let you live because I have better things to do and it would devastate the family to lose you … for some reason. But Alice, mark my warning, never and I do mean NEVER proceed to tell me what I will and will not do! I am Major Jasper Whitlock and I have killed men for less. Do not think that every time you disrespect me or order me around in the future that you will be so fucking lucky." He growled at me. I don't think he believed me, but I'm still alive so I can't complain.
"I will return to Forks to say goodbye to everyone with you. After that I will leave and only visit and call when I feel like doing so. You will not try to contact me or get in touch. Do I make myself clear?"
"Crystal clear, Jasper." And with that we walked out of the room slamming the door behind him as I collapsed onto the bed, curled up into a ball and dry sobbed until we had to leave for the airport.
Jasper's POV
I know that she is lying to me. She's just fucking lucky that I have better things to be doing than ripping her none existing ass to pieces.
Thinking of better things my mind wanders to Bella as I enter the guest bedroom I have been staying in. I imagine her long lustrous brown locks and her divine pale luminescent skin. I picture her beautiful facial features and her long swan like neck. I visualise her toned body, her magnificent chest, petite waist and her gloriously rounded hips. I envision her long, luscious legs wrapped around my hips. I feel myself become aroused, my cock straining against the fabric of my dark denim jeans. I feel my desire increase and along with it my need for release.
I roughly palm myself through the denim, delighting in the sensations, but wishing it were something other than my hand grinding into my steel like hardness. I begin to picture my Isabella grinding her lace clad pussy straight down onto my growing bulge as she hovers above me, moving herself to achieve that much needed friction. Her glorious breasts pushed up against my chest as she circles her hip. As my fantasy continues, and as my imaginary Bella gains speed, I feel my orgasm fast approaching.
At the very point were fantasy Isabella reaches her release, I am right there with her. Colours explode behind my closed eyelids as I shot my load into my pants in long powerful spurts.
For several minutes I just lay on the bed, unmoving and unwilling to get up. However I must if I want to see my Isabella anytime soon. I quickly get up and rush to my bag. I pull out a clean pair of jeans and quickly put them on, completely disregarding boxer shorts.
I quickly dispose of my other pants as I realise the time. Zipping back up my suitcase I head downstairs to say goodbye and to thank the Denali's for their hospitality. Alice is already in the car when I get outside. I climb in and we begin our long journey to the airport in silence.
Edward's POV
Jasper and Alice will be returning home soon. The family and I are going to meet them at the airport, which is why I am currently sitting behind the wheel of my Volvo doing 110 down the freeway with Rosalie and Emmett in my back seat. I am really anxious to see if Jasper's control has improved any. We can't have him being a threat to my love Bella now, can we? If it were up to me he would not be coming home yet. I do not believe for one second that a month is long enough to recover from an almost slip. And I really do not what him to be a danger to Bella.
Because they are returning today and I want to see whether or not Jasper can be trusted I have banned Bella from coming to the house. I have also told her that Alice and I shall be over bright and early tomorrow morning so that they can meet and get to know each other. After an extensive phone conversation with Alice she assures me that she and Bella will get along perfectly. She sees many shopping trips in their future.
Although Alice is very vague about how things are with Jasper I know she would rather they didn't come back so soon. She really worries about him when he is like this. She doesn't want him to feel bad about his slips but she also doesn't want him to revert back into how he used to be. If I'm being honest, Alice loves to control Jasper. She gets off on it. If he feeds from humans he will be harder to control. But I suppose they love each other so maybe that makes up for the controlling aspect of the relationship. I don't know and I don't really care either. Whatever makes them happy!
Speaking of things that make people happy I wonder how Bella is. She seemed ok when I told her that she should avoid the house today. She said she 'had stuff to do anyways'. I wonder what else she could be doing? There's not much to do in Forks. She must be doing chores or homework that she fell behind on. I hope she's happy and entertained. I hope she's not bored and that she's not too lonely without me there for company. Although if I'm being honest I do hope she's missing me especially because I miss her. I've gotten used to being constantly near her. It's amazing being able to spend so much time with her, no matter what mood she's in.
Bella has been really quite distracted for the past week, however she seems happier than I have ever seen her. That may be all fine and dandy for her but I don't think that her good mood has anything to do with me. I want to be the one to make her that happy! I returned home from hunting one day to find her in the hallway on the second floor staying staring at a picture of Jasper. She was just hanging up her phone with a mega watt smile on her face. She truly was beautiful. When I asked her about who she was talking to and what they wanted, she would not tell me. She just avoided my questions and tried to change the subject. When I wouldn't give up she told me to 'just leave it' and that it 'wasn't any of my business anyways'. Bella's response confused me because she was in a great mood and then she just snapped at me for worrying about her safety and wanting to know about her life and plans.
Stupid teenage girl hormones. Stupid mood swings. I love her but it's a bit much. She sometimes acts like she doesn't love me as much as I know she does. She acts like we are not meant to be and sometimes like she can't stand me at all.
I don't remember it being this difficult for Carlisle and Esme or Emmett and Rosalie. They were both so in love from the minute they spoke, that they never thought bad of the other and that they never seemed to hate each other. I wasn't there for the start of Alice and Jasper's relationship but from what Alice tells me and from her memories it's the same as with the other couples in my family. Why is it so different for Bella and I?
Maybe it's just because Bella is human and she's not fully aware of vampires and mating and things such as that. Maybe if I just explain everything to her, she'll understand and then she will be less hesitant towards our relationship. Yes, she must! Once she knows more about us and our kind, she'll give into the love that she feels for me. Right now she must be scared and confused because of the strong emotions she feels. So she's acting out against the object of her affections, me.
Pulling up in the car park of the airport Emmett, Rosalie and I exit my car as Carlisle's Mercedes pulls up beside my Volvo and Carlisle and Esme proceed to climb out.
As we make our way to the terminal I become increasingly more disgusted at the thoughts of the passing humans towards my family. Trying hard to block them out while simultaneously trying to locate Alice and Jasper through their thoughts is not an easy task I can assure you.
When I locate Alice and Jasper's thoughts, Jasper is singing, "I know a song that'll get on your nerves, get on you nerves, get on your nerves. I know a song that'll get on your nerves all day long!" over and over again in his head. And Alice is so pissed off that she is constantly switching from one thought to another. From what I can tell something happened between Jasper and her. She's thinking of many different plans to 'keep him' and to 'get rid' of someone else. Wonder what that's all about. And why is Jasper blocking his thoughts? If I can't read his mind, how will I be able to tell if he's a threat to my Bella or not? I suppose he id just moments ago step off a plane filled with humans and he seems to be in perfect control and not really struggling at all.
After everything I've done for that fucker, he thinks he can leave ME? Who the fuck does he think he is… Alice's thoughts suddenly invaded my mind. This raises more questions than it answers. Who's leaving and what did she do for them? When did Alice learn such unladylike language? What is going on?
Finally we see them running towards us at a human speed with their bags. Jasper is still blocking me. He looks … happy? Excited? I don't know but I do know that while he looks rather pleased Alice looks somewhat miserable.
Edward? Alice's small meek voice thinks to me.
I nod to her let her know that I am listening. Edward, Jasper's leaving me! She thinks as her eyes well with venomous tears. What? That's shocking. Why, I wonder? They always seemed happy together to me. Hiding my shocked facial expression behind a mask of calmness I raise an eyebrow at Alice in question. Not here was her only response.
The whole family move to embrace Alice and Jasper. I hear Jasper ask Carlisle if we could have a family meeting once we return home. And even though Carlisle's thoughts show that he is confused his curiosity wins out and he tells Jasper that he will call everyone together when we return.
As soon as we get back to the cars, I tell Em and Rose to ride with Carlisle, Esme and Jasper, as Alice and I have to talk about something in private.
Climbing into the Volvo Alice and I take a longer route home than the rest of the family. After a while the silence gets to me and I asked her to tell me what happened. She just shook her head and then proceeded to show me her memories.
Alice ran through the entire conversation she and Jasper had. Certain parts leave me curious while others leave me burning in rage. Alice has been nothing but amazing to Jasper and he is just throwing it all in her face. She stuck by him after every slip and after every move. She supported him so much and loved him unconditionally. Even if they are not meant to be he should still show her enough respect to not cheat on her or leave her for another women. They way be going through a rough patch but every relationship has them. You just have to try and work through them.
And even though I think all this, I can still see were Jasper is coming from. Even though I would never admit it to Alice I can see his point. Who wants to be stuck in a loveless sham of a marriage to someone who tries to control your life?
Carlisle's POV
When Jasper asked me if we could have a family meeting once we got home from the airport, I was shocked to say the least and if I'm being honest I was also a tad curious about what we could possibly have to discuss as a family.
Maybe Alice had an important vision while they were gone. That might be what Edward and her are talking about right at this moment. But on the other hand if she did have a vision she would have asked me for the meeting not Jasper and she wouldn't have gone off with Edward to talk before hand particularly not if it was important.
Or this could be about Jasper's control. The meeting could be for a … status report or something along those lines. Like details of how the trip went, how successful it was, how the Denali's are. That's the more like option.
I should stop speculating, I only have to wait until Edward and Alice return to find out. I cannot help it though, I am quite curious and by the expressions on the rest of my family's faces barring Jasper's I would say they are all very curious and maybe a bit worried as well.
I hear Edward's car driving up the driveway towards the house and literally race to the kitchen. It won't be long now until we find out why this meeting has been called.
Edward's POV
Alice and I are barely through the front door when we hear Carlisle's voice call to us from the direction of the kitchen where we usually hold family meetings. And then as we start to walk towards the kitchen at a human pace he calls for us to hurry up. I swear; someone's impatient!
When we reach the table I take my usual place on Carlisle's right and Alice takes her place beside Jasper, moving as far away from him as possible. Oh joy; this shall be fun! **Cue eye roll*
After a few seconds of awkward silence Carlisle decides to start the conversation off. "Alice, Jasper, welcome home! How was your trip?" Jasper mumbles something along the lines of 'torture' and 'evil manipulative pixie', which even I cannot hear whatever he has to say and I'm sitting practically beside him. Alice just states that the trip wasn't all that eventful but she said that she did get some great shopping done. She then followed that report up with a humourless laugh.
As the awkwardness around the table grows, Rosalie being her typical impatient self finally gets fed up waiting. "Somebody better start talking before I start removing limbs!" she all but growled out. Her thoughts agree with what she said and back up her plan to remove any and all limbs until she finds out what the big secret is. She is currently planning what limbs to take from everyone first and what who will be her first victim.
Emmett being his usual childlike self just wants all the drama to be over and done with so that he can get back to his video games. Carlisle and Esme's thoughts are pretty much on the same wavelength. They are both thinking about keeping the peace.
Alice is preoccupied with more plans and schemes to make Jazz stay with her and Jasper being the ass that he is is still blocking his thoughts from me. I really want to know why that is. It's clear that I already know what happened between Alice and him, so why is he still blocking me?
After another immeasurable moment Jasper finally bites the bullet so to speak and stands to talk. He tells us of everything that happened since they left for Alaska. He told us of the fights, arguments really and his thoughts, Alice's emotions that he registered and his thoughts on those too. He went even farther back through the last couple of years and it becomes rather clear that Allie and Jazz are not working out.
Finally Jasper starts to talk about earlier today and the discussion they had in Alice's room. He toned down Alice's possessiveness; him losing his temper and the 'cheap slut' comment wasn't mentioned at all.
Through out the story Alice would throw in little remarks or detail here and there but she mainly just let Jasper do all the talking. The family remained silent for the duration of Jasper's explanation. Their thoughts showed that they were completely shocked. And rightfully so because even with how close Allie and I are some of the stuff revealed also shocked me. I was unaware that they have been fighting for years or that they were having marital problems. (God, I hope Bella and I never have those problems!). They always hid it so well. They seemed like a perfect couple. Obviously, they weren't.
First in the family to snap out of their shock was Rosalie. She had more than a few words to say to the unhappy couple. She told Alice that if she wasn't so controlling and such a bitch at times then she wouldn't push Jasper away as much. She told Jasper that he shouldn't have let Alice have her way for everything just to make her happy even if it mean sacrificing his own happiness for her. Rosalie went on to tell Jasper that he should take all the time he needs but to return soon. By the time she was finished with her little speech everyone else had recovered from the shock of the moment. Emmett and Esme told Alice and Jasper how sorry they were and that they would be there if they ever needed to talk. This brought some comfort to Alice but not much. Carlisle, being the peacemaker of the family tried to fix things. He told Jasper that he didn't have to go anyway and that although they are vampires he and Alice could still attend marriage counselling to help work through their problems. As another option he also offered that we work through their problems together, as a family.
Alice's thoughts on the matter were not good. No! No, No, No, No, No. I don't have problems it's all Jasper's fault. If we do 'couples therapy' then they will see me as … shit Edward's looking at me weird. 'Poker face' … What? What would we think of her? What would we see her as? Wow, I wonder why she is so against something that could help make Jasper stay with her. I thought she would do anything to keep him.
Ahahahahahahaha! Carlisle honestly think counselling would help this dead end relationship. Not a chance in hell. Especially since I have fund my true soul mate, my I… 'I know a song that will' … His mental block finally falls and that's all I get? Damn it all, I want to know who his mate is. Maybe Alice knows and that's who she called a cheap slut. If he met his soul mate, Alice should just let him go.
Rosalie's thoughts were quite smug. To everyone in the family her and Emmett seemed to have a less stable relationship than Alice and Jasper. Now this just proves that we were wrong.
I hope everything works out. If it's meant to be it will find a way to be. Bless Esme's heart. She's always the optimist. Carlisle's thought centre around keeping the family together and keeping everyone happy.
"Carlisle," Jasper says, "I appreciate the thought but I think that some time apart would be best. We have spent years trying to salvage this mess of a marriage, staying together because we thought we were soul mates and that things would get better but they didn't and it's just not working. I will return someday but some time away would be good for me."
Carlisle nods his head thoughtfully, evidently agreeing with him. "Whatever you feel is best son. Just remember to keep in touch."
As the meeting starts to draw to an end, Jasper turns to Alice and says, "Alice, I think a fresh start would be for the best," he then hands her a stack of papers and continues talking, " I know you are not my biggest fan right now but could you please at least give me that? Sign the papers please Allie?" When Alice loses her temper at the thought of them not being married anymore, Jasper calmly reminds her that if he has to he could always forge her signature.
Defeated and with the family watching Alice signs the papers and fires them at Jasper's head. Jasper retrieves the documents and presumably leaves the kitchen to go and pack. Alice jumps from the open window, and runs into the surrounding forest with me hot on her heels.
Right at this moment I thank whatever God or Gods are up there that Bella wasn't here for the messed up situation. She's far too nice and kind-hearted to deal with that. If I know Bella (which I do) she would have tried to fix Alice's broken heart and their broken relationship. I hope Bella and I never end up like Alice and Jasper.
Jasper's POV
Staring at the documents for my divorce in amazement I feel ecstatic. I'm finally free. I can't believe Alice signed them willingly.
We're free to be with our really soul mate now. Isabella! I have an idea Jasper, its been too long since we have seen her, lets go claim her!
I ignore the beast's suggestion, at least for the time being. I realised not for the first time today, that I am surrounded by Isabella's scent. My Isabella's scent. That means that she was here recently, around him. I would say she was here within the last 36 hours. Her scent is most concentrated in front of my portrait on the second floor however.
That's a clear sign that she missed me, Jasper. Why make her suffer any longer? Lets go to her.
"Soon, soon" I promise my beast. "Just a few more hours until we see her again."
When I first walked into the Cullen home and smelled her, I nearly lost it. I was so close to turning and running flat out until I reached her. But then, then I remembered the plan. I had to stick to the plan. I was genuinely kind of nervous about the family meeting which was the next step in the plan, having already completed messing with Alice's visions, avoiding Alice, making flight arrangements, planning hat I was going to be taking with me and finally breaking the news to Alice. That was not fun. And now I get to tell the family. I could feel the curiosity radiating from my family and it really didn't help anything. It didn't help my nerves or my dread or even the small amount of guilt I hold for planning on lying to them. I can't tell them the truth though. They wouldn't understand and it would start a fight between Edward and I.
It turned out that all my worrying however was completely unnecessary. Everything turned out fine. Sure some people were disappointed and sad. But even that was better than I dared hope for.
Now all I have to do is pack my personal possessions because God know I will not be taking any of those gay, preppy ass clothes that Alice makes me were. So long sweater vests and khakis, hello t-shirts and jeans. When I finish packing I'm going to spend some time with the family, then go 'straight' to the airport.
Thoughts of what is to come in mere hours have me extremely happy but at the same time nervous. I can't wait to see Isabella again. I have missed her so much and I can't wait for this next phase of my life to start. It will be great and I will finally be truly, magnificently blissful.
Pussy alert. Pussy alert. Blissful? Ghees Major do you think you could grow a pair?
Fuck off; I'm happy get over it. You should be happy too.
After I finish packing I spend the rest of the day with Carlisle, Esme, Rose and Em. We have a few laughs, mostly at Emmett's expense and we joke around for a while. At around 5 o'clock we decide to take a hunting trip one last time before I leave. Em and I wrestle for a bit then everyone returns to the house. We all sat the living room talking and messing about for many more hours. At 11 o'clock I got up, said my goodbyes, climbed into my black Dodge Ram SRT – 10 and drove to Port Angelus to wait, to wait for my future, my life, my love, my Isabella.
Bella's POV
The time on my digital clock reads 11: 06 when I finally hear Charlie leave for work. I decide to wait for ten minutes just to make sure it's safe to leave.
Once I am positive, I spring into action. I grab my suitcase and my handbag. I check to makes sure that I have my passport, my phone and my purse then I run downstairs and out into my truck. Starting my truck I give it a few minutes to heat up then I start to make my way towards Port Angelus.
Halfway there, I begin to curse my decrepit old truck. Why can't it go any fucking faster? It's so slow! I push the truck to its limits. I reach over into the passenger seat while keeping my eyes on the road and begin to search in my bag for my Ipod. Finding it I put the headphones in my ears and turn it on. Katy Perry's California Girls starts to play and I get into the song and start to sing along. As the music continues to play it takes my mind off of the truck and were I am going and before I know it, I'm driving through the streets of Port Angelus.
I locate the parking lot that Jasper told me to met him at and pull in near the only car in the lot, a shiny black truck. Even I could appreciate that it was one hot car. I wonder if that is Jasper's car or if he isn't here yet. As I ponder that though I catch a glimpse of his beautiful honey blonde locks exiting the car. Before I even reach for my door handle, he is there, opening my door and offering me his hand to help me out with a brilliant bright smile on his gorgeous face.
I take his hand and offer him a massive grin back. Suddenly my feet are swept off the ground and I'm in Jasper's arms being spun round and round. I can't help but let out a small happy giggle and in return I hear Jasper's soft chuckle. It's a perfect moment and I can't help but feel as if I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be!
Jasper's POV
I pull into the parking lot that Isabella and I are supposed to meet in and wait for her to pull up. This is one of those moments were I am so glad I'm not human. If I were my heart would be racing and I'd be sweating bullets. What if she doesn't show up? What if she realised how reckless it was to run away with someone you barely know?
Stop, stop, stop! Trust her, Major. She'll pull through for us. She has to. Isabella loves us and she knows that we are meant to be. She will show up.
I sit stewing in my own thoughts and worries until I see an old red Chevy pull into the lot and park a few spaces away from me. Looking up in through the windscreen of the truck I see the most extraordinary girl … no woman ever. My Isabella. I jump from my car and run to hers. I pause to calm myself then I practically rip the door from its hinges to get to my sweet and stunning girl! I then offered her my arm to help her out of the truck like the good ol' southern boy my mama taught me to be!
She was a vision in her little dark denim short shorts that make her ass look she damn good and her black t-shirt with a silver shirt left unbuttoned but with the two ends tied together around her waist. She was perfection. From her long dark locks that flow down her back in loose curls to her dark eyes, pale skin, beautiful blush and plump red 'kiss me now' lips, her elegant swan like neck which is just begging to be sucked on, a perfect spot for my mark all the way down her slender body, her long toned legs that seem to go on forever to her dainty little feet encased in a pair of black converse!
Jasper! Look at her. She's amazing and she's all ours! Since when are you so lucky Major?
She looked so beautiful and, right at that moment I couldn't wait to have her in my arms, so I wrapped my arms around her waist and picked her up in a giant hug and spun her around. And in the joyous moment everything was right with the world. Everything felt … perfect!
