You Promised Forever

A/N: This story was adopted from I-Have-A-Dark-Side. I will be revising some of the chapters before finishing it. We both hope that you enjoy the story! Read and Review!

Chapter 21: Reprimanded
(Jasper's POV)

Bella and I were both stressed to the max at the thought of the Cullen's arriving just about any minute now. She sat on the couch in the living room as she fiddled with her fingers, her clothing and anything and everything that was in reach while I continued to pace the length of the room. Trent, Chase, Peter and Char all sat on the couch insisting on being here when the time came for the confrontation as moral and - if needed – physical support against any out of control vampires. Most of the wolves wanted to be here as well, but understood when I told them that we needed to do this alone and that they could have their say after that. We were to meet up with them this afternoon for a training session.

"How much longer do you think?" Bella asked as she gnawed on her lower lip.

Seeing this, I appeared before her and squatted down on my haunches before bringing my hand up and using my thumb to coax her bottom lip from in between her teeth. "Any minute now, darlin'." I told her as gently as I could.

She sighed before reluctantly nodding.

It was then that we heard the sound of car engines as they turned on to the drive and drove down towards the house.

"Here we go," Trent mumbled to the room causing Bella's heart rate to pick up as she picked up her head to look over at him and then toward me for confirmation. I nodded to let her know that she was right in her assessment and she took in a deep breath before rising to her feet and coming over to stand next to me. I took her hand in my in order to give her a sense of comfort and as a silent way of telling her that I was here for her. She returned my sentiment by squeezing my hand and giving me a small smile as her way to show me that she was there for the same reasons.

I looked around the room at the others as they stood and watched as they either gave the two of us small smiles or nods of encouragement as we got ready to face our pasts.

._.-;'~0~';-._.

The front door opened and Emmett was the first one to fly into the room and stop in front of Bella and I before ripping Bella from me and crushing her into one of his infamous bear-type hugs.

"Bella, I'm so sorry! I had no choice, but I know that I shouldn't have listened and I've missed you so much! Please, forgive me?" He mumbled against her stunned little body. I could feel the grief and remorse coming from him and I knew that Bella knew how serious that he was as well, though she clearly was having trouble breathing due to the tight grasp that he had on her.

"Emmett, man, she can't breathe." I told him placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Sorry," he murmured as he reluctantly released her as he gave her a sad apologetic smile.

"Look Em," Bella sighed. "I was really hurt by what you guys did to me, so much that I wasn't right for the longest time. I mean, you didn't even say goodbye and made me feel as if I never really meant anything to any of you."

"That's not true, Bella," a feminine voice spoke from the doorway. She smiled slightly in my direction before she approached Bella. I moved to stand slightly in front of her, knowing that Rose was never Bella's biggest fan. "Relax, Jasper, I'm not going to hurt her." She said in my direction with a roll of her eyes and a flip of her hair. I could feel the sincerity coming from her and begrudgingly obliged as I moved slightly out of her way.

"Emmett was crushed that we had to leave, most of us were, especially him." She began as she gestured to her mate. "He truly sees you as a little sister and he fought tooth and nail to stay in your life one way or another. But seeing as everyone thought that you were Edward's mate, Carlisle allowed him to make that decision even though he highly didn't agree with it. He said that there was many times in which he moved for us for one reason or another and it's only fair that we honor his wishes regarding you as his mate."

"But I'm not Edward's mate," Bella objected.

I snorted with a bit of a growl towards the end. "No, you most certainly are NOT!" I snapped causing everyone to look at me in surprise because of my outburst. Bella raised an eyebrow in my direction. Now was certainly not the time to tell her about us, but I knew that it would have to be sometime soon and before the battle.

Emmett cleared his throat uncomfortably before he spoke, "We didn't know that at the time."

"Yeah," Rose nodded. "You see, he's never shown interest in anyone the way that he had you, so we had no choice to believe that you were for we thought that only his mate would actually draw him in that way. You understand?"

Bella sighed and nodded, "Yes, I understand, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that you all brought me in to your world and called me your family and tell me that you love me, but then you up and leave me without even so much as a goodbye! And if that's not bad enough, you did something similar to Jasper," She ranted and gestured to me. I reached forward and wrapped my arms around her and placed as kiss on top of her head as I let her continue to let it out. "You let Edward bully him out of the family too! And then continued to tell him that the only way that he would be allowed back was if he changed his diet! What kind of family does that? What kind of family kicks a member out and then makes stipulations for them to be allowed back in? If this is the way that you treat those that you love and care about, I don't want nor need any of you!"

By the time that she finished there were tears in her eyes and the room was quiet. I could see Carlisle, Esme and Alice were near the entryway and they all had had the decency to look ashamed. I knew that if Esme could cry, she would have as she heard Bella's rant and Emmett looked completely crestfallen with remorse and shame. Even Rosalie was feeling guilty.

I held her tighter to me and buried my face into the crook of her neck and began to nuzzle her and purr to her in order to calm her and make her feel better. I heard gasps and an intake of breath from the majority of the Cullen's who must have not known that Bella was my mate. I guess Alice had kept that bit of information to herself. Peter, Char, Chase and Trent just smiled or gave each other knowing looks. They were all very proud of Bella for standing up for

I looked up at the rest of the room and gave them a look before mumbling in vampire speed so that Bella couldn't hear, "I haven't told her yet, so keep it to yourselves." They all exchanged glanced before slowly nodding their consent.

I looked down at Bella and she nodded up at me before I looked back up that the Cullen coven. "We do not forgive you by any means, but appreciate you coming to our aid and the same is said with the wolf pack who will be along later. If you wish to earn forgiveness or earn back our trust, I must warn you that it will not come easy. We are both deeply hurt by what all of you have done to us with your abandonment. Family is supposed to stick together." I told them looking in each other their eyes.

It was then that I noticed that someone was missing, someone who deserved to hear all of this more than any of them. It was the person who had gotten us in to this mess to begin with.

Just as I thought this, a new figure appeared into the entryway. "Hello Bella," he said leveling his gaze on her causing me to growl.

She narrowed her eyes at him and I could feel the anger beginning to build within the both of us. "Edward."

A/N: Uh oh! The culprit has arrived! What do you think will happen next? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Also, if any of you still want to still vote for which route you want me to take regarding Bella, you are free to do so now! The choices remain the same and are the following:

Choice B. Something happens where Bella has to be changed in order to save her life because of a life threatening incident.

Choice C. Jasper is convinced into changing Bella before the battle.

Choice E. Bella remains human, but discovers that she can manifest her gift as a human and help her family that way.

Please let me know what you think should happen in my reviews. I have great ideas for all of these choices. Thank you! Read and REVIEW!

If you have any questions or comments, please post them in my reviews and I will answer them in my next Author's Note.
