I'm disappointed in you guys... I hardly got any reviews! Sigh well, I guess I should go on with the story.

Previously on ch. 20

"So Bella, Tell me how you've been!"

"I will if you tell me how you have been! I see you got married... and didn't even bother to invite me, your best friend." I said pointing to the wedding ring on her left hand and putting my hand to my chest in mock hurt putting on a puppy dog face.

"I'll tell you all about it Bellsy!"

Chapter 21

Adam POV

I can't fucking believe it! Bells is so different! I knew once she found her mate that she would get better but I didn't know it would be this much!

I'm not gonna miss a word of this story.

Bella's POV

I sat next to Edward and looked at Arlene and Adam. "You first." I said impatiently. I really wanted to know what happened.

Jasper chuckled sensing my impatient feelings and sent me more. I noticed and sent him feelings of extreme paranoia. He started fidgeting and I smiled. I have never been one for revenge but he had it coming.

Edward smiled his amazing smile reading Jasper's mind. Alice noticed Jasper and sent me a glare. I stopped the feelings and went back to A and Adam. This all took only a second and A and Adam just shook it off and started telling their story.

Arlene's POV

"Okay, well, I'm sure our story isn't as fun as yours but here it is..." I began and took a breath preparing to talk.

"When we left Maria when the Volturi came we went to search for you. We got to the cabin but you weren't there but we didn't look for you. I'm sorry. We thought you would need space and that someday we would meet you again. So we moved. After a while we came across the Denalies. They liked us. They were nice but not our type of people if you get what I mean." I said pointing to my eyes.

The others looked like they had just noticed the color and I chuckled. "Don't worry, we only get evil humans like rapists and murderers." My smokin husband said.

"Anyway. We turned down their offer to join them and went to vegas. Haha well we decided to get married. Neither of us wanted a real serious one so we had this guy in an ape outfit wed us. Huh he was fun!" I smiled remembering first seeing him.

"So we were married and had a honeymoon that could make a moon covered in honey jealous! Two months!" Adam said. I didn't even understand his first sentence. But the honeymoon was fricken awesome.

"After that we just came here. We picked up your trail and followed it to the house." I finished and twiddled my thumbs.

Bella's POV

"It sounds like you guys had a good time." I said brightly and slightly jealous that my story wasn't that happy.

"And, how do you know Bella and Jasper?" Carlisle asked.

Arlene explained everything and answered his questions then looked at me.

I sighed knowing I had to tell them. "Well, my story is neither fun or happy, and it certainly is not short." I said sadly.

"When you left, so did I..." I retold my story. When I got to the part with James I got angry and hurt. Pain ripped through me about it and I shut my eyes taking deep breaths. Edward and Jasper helped me out.

I finished the story and A was in shock and Adam was in shock mixed with rage for the things that happened.

Arlene came over and hugged me sobbing dryly into me. I hugged onto her while she said how sorry she was for leaving me. I just sat there comforting her. Some people just can't handle horrible things like others can.

When she got up Adam held her on the luvseat, "I'm so sorry Bella." was all he said.

I waved him off and an awkward silence filled the room. Broken by Esme. Her motherly side taking over. "Would you like to stay with us? We will be moving soon and you could come with us if you need a place to stay."

Third person POV

Arlene and Adam shook their heads. "We don't really stay in one place for too long or in a coven. More of wanderers sorry, but if it's okay, could we maybe stay a while to spend some time with Bella?" Arlene asked Esme.

"Of course dears! Me casa es you casa." she said laughing.

Bella stood up looking at Alice. Alice got the hint and grabbed Arlene's right arm while Bella gets the left.

No more Bella Barbie! Arlene get a makeover. After all she is going to be staying here a while and I haven't decorated a new person in too long!

Jasper filled Adam in and he laughed, "Okay Bellsy but I want you down soon. I want to see if you still fight as good as you did then!" Adam yelled as the girls disappeared.

"I would say she still fights pretty good." Jasper informed.

Edward started making his way up the stares to Bella. Of course.

Bella's POV

A, being a good sport, didn't even fight us as we took her upstairs.

"Okay so first I want you to take a shower. You can use the one in my room." Alice ordered and sent Arlene on her way, throwing her into the bathroom practically.

"Quick Alice, help me find her some clothes." I said going through the rack of clothes Alice bought for A, having already learned her sizes from the visions.

Alice made her way over then froze glaring at something behind me. I spun around but ran into something and started falling. I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact and let a little scream out when instead I felt a pair of arms around me.

James!

I opened my eyes and sprang backwards into a crouch.

Edward. Oh. "Oh Edward I'm so sorry you just gave me a little scare... sorry." I said ducking my head in embarrassment.

A fake contentment passed through me making the embarrassment fade away. "Thanks Jazz." I said loud enough for him to here.

I just heard a chuckle in reply.

"Sorry for scaring you Bella." Edward said pulling me into a hug.

"Nah, it's okay, it's my fault." I said smiling a little at him.

He opened his mouth to object but Alice but in, "Okay enough of this! We only have a little longer. Edward, out. Bella help me."

"Can't Edward stay?" I said

Alice sighed and agreed.

Edward went to sit on the bed and I went to the closet.

Alice and I eventually came up with three outfits and held them up to Edward. He might as well help with something.

He picked out the outfit in the middle. Black heals with a white leather mini skirt and a strapless hot pink tube top completed with a thick silver fang necklace ironically.

It probably wasn't his favorite or mine but it was much better than the other outfits. Frills, sparkles, and who knows what else!

"Bella, there are no clothes in here!" A shouted from the bathroom. "Sorry I'm coming!" I said back and rushed the clothes to her.

Once she was decent Alice and I went in. I got her hair and Alice got her make up.

When we were finished Arlene had straitened emo/punk hair and her make up was green eye shadow, mascara, and purple lip stick.

Needless to say Alice and I were feeling a little hyper and in the partying mood. Haha

Either way, she was hot.

Once we emerged from the bathroom Edward looked at Arlene and his eyes got huge. "You girls did very nice. I feel bad for Adam, he's gonna have a hell of a time keeping his hands off of you." he joked and came over and gave me a kiss.

I happily obliged.

We pulled apart and went downstairs.

Edward went down first then me, A, last Alice. The guys smelled us and looked. When Adam saw Arlene his eyes practically popped out of his head.

"Damn," Emmett said. Apparently him and Rose had gotten back. The right on cue, SLAP!

"Ow Rosie."

"Wow." was all Jasper said.

"You look very nice dear." Esme said and Carlisle nodded.

We sat down and I noticed Adam squirm and kept looking longingly at Arlene. I looked at Jasper and he had noticed too.

I gave him a look and that's all it took. Jasper and I understood each other well.

He sent a wave of lust at them and Adam shot up.

"Um, um, Bella-I" Adam stuttered.

I smiled, "Just go, we can wrestle later." I giggled out.

Jasper, Edward, and I laughed and soon Adam and Arlene left.

"Maybe we shouldn't dress her that way again." I mumbled to Alice but of course everyone heard it and laughed.

…...

After everything calmed down Alice ended up dragging me on a shopping trip saying that Jasper and Edward need to talk...

Jasper's POV

Only Edward and I were home and I felt Edwards emotions all flustered and like he wanted to ask me something.

"What is it Edward?" I asked softly from my room.

"I should have known he would feel my emotions." I heard him mumble then come up.

He knocked on the door and I let him in.

"Jasper, I want to ask your help. I-I want to ask Bella to marry me." He rushed out and I sent him a wave of calm.

"I will help you as much as you need on this as long as it makes Bella happy." I replied. Bella just couldn't get hurt.

"Thank you!" He said sending off waves of gratitude.

"But I want you to be careful with her. My sister has been through a lot and if I ever find out you hurt her I will personally rip you to pieces and one by one light them on fire." I threatened.

"If I ever hurt her, I will welcome it." he replied.

"You really care about her don't you." He said more as a statement. Shoot I must have been projecting.

"As much as I care about Alice, just in a sisterly way." I said.

"If you're looking for my blessing you have it." I said as I noticed Edward struggling for words.

"Thank you Jasper..." Edward said.

"So when are you planning on asking her?" I asked excitedly. Yes, I, major Jasper Whitlock get's excited.

"I have no clue, I want it to be special." Edward said

I thought about it for a while. A few years back I had found a place while hunting, I hadn't ever brought anyone there, it was perfect. It was Bella.

"I have a place." I stated and jumped out the window. "Come on Edward!" I shouted up and Edward jumped out the window.

I ran and he followed.

Okay, it is getting harder and harder to keep the chapters interesting but I am trying my best.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while.

Luvs!
