Thanks to Helen, Danish girl, sibaruneko and patyforhale for the reviews and to the guest reviews. I won't be able to update tomorrow because I will be on a very late drama trip but I will try to update on Friday but cannot guarantee it. I will promise that there will definitely be another chapter on Saturday though.
Carlisle P.O.V
It has been six whole months now since Jasper and Alice have been here. Jasper seemed to speak a little more than he used to and his confidence levels have improved. He was still nervous when people got to close to him without expectation but other than that, he has been doing brilliantly. Since that thy were now both feeling part of the family, I was beginning to think that it was a good time to give them the family Cullen crest some time soon. Me and Esme have been wanting to give it to them for quite a while now but we weren't too sure that Jasper had felt like he fit in enough. He wasn't ready but he is now. They both are.
Just then, I heard a knock at the door.
"Come in" I called.
Alice walked in. I had a feeling that she saw my decision which was too bad. I was hoping to surprise them but it would be too difficult with Alice being a Psychic.
"Hey Carlisle. Can I talk to you about something?" She asked.
"Of course" I replied.
I hadn't been expecting that. Maybe she hadn't had the vision yet.
"It's about school" she frowned.
"Yes, I believe that you are ready to start" I said,
"Yeah, I think so to but…" she paused.
"But what?" I asked.
"I can't" she sighed.
"Why not?" I asked considering I think I already knew the answer.
"I can't leave Jasper on his own for so many hours everyday. It will be too much for him He finds it difficult enough when I go out shopping or go hunting without him" she said apologetically.
"I understand" I said calmly.
"I am sorry Carlisle and I know that you have been a great family to us and that you have been working so hard but I'm not sure that Jasper will be able to cope if I am at school without him…I want to start when he's ready" She said.
Alice was such a selfless person. She really couldn't wait to go to school but we all knew that Jasper had meant the world to her and she didn't want to make him feel abandoned.
"It's ok Alice. It's perfectly understandable and it's very thoughtful of you" I said to her.
"It won't be long. He will be ready sooner than you think" she said as she went to walk out of my office but then she stopped.
"Oh, and Carlisle, I can't wait to receive the gifts that you and Esme have planned to give me and Jasper" she smiled and than left.
Damn, she knew. Oh well, at least she liked the idea. Who was I kidding, this was Alice. Of course she would like the idea. I sat back n my office chair and relaxed. I trusted Alice very well to know that Jasper would be ready for school soon enough. He defiantly wasn't a people person but he was working on being less skittish. I could tell. He always took an unnecessary breath if anything, such as a loud noise or Emmet's voice had alerted him and it would calm him down. I was happy for his improvement but there was still a lot to work on.
Jasper P.O.V
Maybe I doubted Alice about this place. Maybe they weren't who I thought they were. They had proven to be trustworthy but it still could just be an act. It was just too hard to believe. We have been here for half a year and the only who has attacked was me. I was amazed that everyone has dealt with me for this long and the only one that I had felt anger from was Rosalie. I respected her. As scary as she seems, I feel closest to her (sibling wise) although she completely hates my guts. Ok, maybe not completely but she still has her moments. She is the only one who isn't afraid to ay things straight to my face. When I do something wrong, everyone wastes there time by telling me how it wasn't my fault when it clearly was. They try to comfort me but it doesn't work. It's when Rosalie is straight to me when I do feel comforted which is strange but true.
Emmet is too forgiving. Ever hear the saying 'Forgive and forget'. Well Emmet is exactly that. He acts like I am the most trusted guy on earth and like I haven't done anything wrong. That's why he worries me. He thinks that he is safe around me but I have even proved that he isn't but he still hangs around me like I'm his best friend…or brother. At least his strength would help if I ever get out of control again like my first hunt here. I wasn't keen on his touch but I was grateful at the same time.
As much as I hated his mind reading skills, I'm happy that Edward seems to be the only one to understand me. That's why it was him that I showed my scars to. Rosalie would have just spat out venomous words at me, Emmet would have seen them as something to be proud about and Dr Cullen and Esme would have felt sorry for me yet Edward…he jut seemed to be the most reasonable.
Esme was very sympathetic and I didn't like that but she was a very nice person and I noticed that she did her best to play the role of a mother. I appreciated that because Alice had needed her like she needed the rest of the family and I couldn't believe that I had been selfish to almost take that away from her.
If this was any other coven, I wouldn't have been here. I would have been kicked out but Dr Cullen appears to be a lot nicer than he should be which was confusing me. He should have hated me after I injured his son but I didn't feel a single wave of anger from him. If this was an act, he wouldn't have felt like that would he? Maybe they're not faking it. Maybe it's for real. This isn't your typical coven. Not the sort that I was expecting. No, this was much more. They were family. The one that Alice had promised. The family that Alice had quoted 'perfect'.
I thought that it would be a good idea to give you a rough idea on how Jasper sees the family now so yeah, I hoped you liked it. Like I said at the beginning, there will be no updates tomorrow so sorry about that
