Chapter 24: Very long and rather pointless
Jasper was standing by the window as soon as Charlie started snoring.
"Let's just get this over with okay?" I said standing up and then of course falling back down.
"You can't even stand up with the thing on" he chuckled.
"Just get it off please" I whined holding out my hand for him to help me up.
"Oh please Jazz I am not in the mood to be turned-on right now okay, so stop sending me it" I said when I all of a sudden felt like it.
"Sorry" he said holding in his smile.
"What's up with you anyways? I thought you had the hardest time out of all the others with the whole "vegetarian" thing" I asked.
"Well…I don't want to hurt you Molly, when I first met you, when you were only 3, it felt like I had this instant bond with you. I had no thought or want to kill you, or drink you. It felt like…it wasn't love like you and Edward have; it was more sibling or parent love, friendship more likely. It was so hard to walk away from you, to leave you crying on the stairs" he said coming over to help me stand.
"What do you mean "crying on the stairs"?" I asked trying to imitate his southern drawl that was barley audible in his voice.
"Well, as you were only 3, you were crying on the staircase begging Edward not to leave. Your father was the one who didn't want you anywhere near us, he told Edward to stay away from you." Jasper said.
"Turn around" he added.
"Um…I think we should do this in the bathroom…just incase I bump into Charlie upstairs and he wonders why I took it off downstairs" I said then I wondered how I was going to get upstairs.
"I'll carry you" he said probably feeling my insecurity.
"Thanks" I said then waited for him to easily pick me up, I awkwardly sat in his arms unsure of what to do.
"So Molly…what will you do when Charlie notices you don't age in a few years?" he asked as he quietly brought me upstairs.
"well I wasn't going to be staying here that long…just a few years, I guess until I'm done school…though I've already done it" I shrugged as he set me down in the bathroom, I hadn't even noticed getting upstairs or opening the door.
"I sort of figured; your mother was very smart too" he said going behind me. While still sort of holding me up by the waist he took off my shirt with out a problem.
"Did Alice tell you what my future is?" I asked wondering if I could get him to spill the beans.
"I couldn't tell you even if she did…sorry Molly but nothing will go as it's supposed too if you know" he said undoing one of the belts.
"Maybe its better that way…. Not leaving your future to chance. Chance hasn't been very good to me."
"I know how you feel. I spent over 200 years without Alice; those were the worst of my life. I was 16 when I entered the army; I worked my way up and was soon one of the best. I was escorting some civilians out of the city and went back to make sure everyone was out, on my way out I ran into three beautiful women." He said undoing the last belt.
He grabbed hold of it so it didn't fall.
"They were vampires?" I asked.
"Yes…They took me into their clan then, they weren't vegetarians. They killed thousands, millions maybe, and I helped. Until I finally had enough of it, I was sick with myself. I was sitting in a coffee shop when she walked in. she walked right up to me and held out her hand, and I took it without stopping to make sense of what I was doing…and for the first time in almost a century…I felt hope." He said each and every word laced with love.
"That's sort of what happened with me and Edward…when I climbed onto his lap?" I asked blushing for jumping to that when Jasper just told me the sweetest thing and I was only thinking of me and Edward.
"Yeah…you kissed him you know…right on the cheek. You told him he wouldn't hurt you, Edward was feeling so uneasy then, with this little girl on his lap who claimed she was safe right were she was. Anyways…your all done…did you want me to wait outside till your done?" he asked pointing out the little bathroom window.
"That would actually be very helpful of you Jazz…Alice won't mind will she?" I asked holding the belly to my chest as I turned around.
"Um want me to grab you a robe or something?" he asked like the perfect southern gentleman he was.
"Um no I'll just…" I said then I flicked my hand at the stuffed thing and it froze in mid air and I let go of it.
"Okay…just give me a call when your done…I'll be up in that tree in the front yard or something" he said giving me a little nod and then he was gone out the bathroom window.
I took the rest of my clothes off and started the water; I looked at myself in the mirror started with my hair, I should dye it, reddish maybe, get colored contacts and I won't look like mom anymore. There was nothing I could do about the color of my skin I had tried tanning before and it didn't really do anything.
I had gained a bit of weight this week, mostly because Edward and Alice were practically forcing the food down my throat. I was almost a full 90 now and soaking wet I would be at least 93.
I stood under the nice hot water for a while relieving my aching back. I really didn't like the fact my power didn't take care of aches and pains it was only open wounds it healed.
My mother said it was a blessing and a curse, because I would have to want to get hurt all the time for me to be invincible. I never learned how to want to get hurt so it was the only rare occasion that I didn't get hurt when I did something, like when dad taught me how to ride a bike. Him, Grandpa, and Uncle Chris brought us to an old dirt road and were running around holding our bikes up while I yelled for them to run faster.
I fell the second they let go but I was so happy I couldn't even cry.
I quickly washed my hair and body and shut the water off. I slipped my underclothes on and my shorts then called Jasper back through the bathroom window.
"That was quick…I have a feeling we're going to be doing this a lot" he said smiling that cute side smile I usually saw on my dad.
"What did Alice tell you?" I asked playfully glaring at him.
"Nothing" he said still smiling innocently.
"well hurry and put this thing back on me I'm tired" I said I was always tired after a hot shower, as I said before it was because I was always so cold, the hot water made me sleepy.
"Okay" he said then he did everything in vampire speed and I almost fell when he let go so suddenly.
"Sorry…want help back down to your couch?" he asked lifting me and bringing me down without waiting an answer.
"thanks Jazz…now go look after your Pregnant…wife" I said frowning I never really knew their relation ship but with them being alive so long I guess I figured they were married.
"Alright…remember to wake up in the morning" he said and I could see his perfect white teeth smile in the dark.
I fell asleep as soon as he left, when I woke up it was about 8:15 I had to go in 15 minutes. Charlie was already gone I was about to get up and run to get ready but I couldn't stand up.
"Shit, um…EDWARD, JASPER, someone" I said pouting the last one.
I teleported my bag to me and got the shirt Alice gave me to wear, I used my power to get my clothes off and used it to get my clean ones on, I don't know why I didn't think of it before.
I sat there on the couch wondering what to do; I couldn't drive myself to school now. Or could I?
I went over to the window and looked around, everyone was gone, at work, school, and the next house was at least half a mile from ours. No one was walking by so I teleported myself and my school bag into my car.
I was just about getting smashed by the steering wheel; I moved my seat back with much effort.
"I can breath" I said happily to myself. I backed out and went to school.
"What are you doing? I went to your house to pick you up and you weren't there" Edward said partly worried partly angry.
"Relax Edie Boy I'm here in one piece and that is all that matter" I joked grabbing his arm as we walked into school.
"Well I'll see you later" I said once we got outside of homeroom.
"Alice will help you walk…then Jasper, Emmett, probably not Rosalie" he said as he opened the door and out skipped Alice.
"So you're just going to pass me from one person to the other? Boy I feel special" I joked as I grabbed onto Alice's arm.
"You're lucky you have almost every class with at least one of us" Alice said as she turned me to class.
"Bye Edward…" I called back, I wasn't able to get anything else in before Alice dragged me into class and sat me down.
The day was very long and rather pointless if you ask me, I was handed from person to person in the hall way or they were waiting outside my class. At the end of the day I was glad it was my biology class with Edward so I didn't need to embarrass myself with one of the others by tripping or something.
"I have to go home, Charlie's friend Billy and his son are coming over before he gets back with Bella so I have to go let them in" I said as we stood by my car.
"Okay…see you tonight? I'll sneak in the living room window" I whispered in my ear, I almost stopped breathing completely when I felt his hot breath in my ear.
"I'm sharing a room with Bella now…I could wait down stairs for you though…then you can bring me to bed" I said wondering if he's okay with that.
"Whatever you want, I'll leave you time also to bound with your older sister" he joked.
Okay Bella WILL be in the next chapter…please review…there is NO secret meaning g behind the title…this chapter is a little tiny bit long but it IS NOT pointless…. :P :D
XOXO
