This is the second update today.

Sorry for any mistakes.

Chapter 26

Jasper is Suspicious

"I'm not sure, Alice," Jasper muttered, looking out of the large window wall at the back of Alice's walk-in closet. His wife was planning outfits, her new favourite pastime since they'd joined the Cullens. She loved that they had money now, that Carlisle and Esme were willing to pay for whatever she needed and wanted (within reason, of course). Jasper knew that she liked having possessions. It had been so long since Alice had truly had anything to call her own. They were stealing, constantly. Mainly clothing.

So having her own closet, twice the size of the bedroom they had, had made Alice so happy. Which was why Jasper worried about what reaction his next words were going to elicit.

"Something about this just screams danger. It's not that I don't trust your decision making, darlin'. I just don't trust these vampires. We know next to nothing about them. And that blonde girl-,"

"Rosalie."

"If you say so." Jasper rolled his eyes at her interruption. Like he needed to know their names. "She already doesn't like me. It's safe to say that he hates me. All it would take is for her to express her distaste to the coven leader-,"

"Carlisle."

"- and he can get rid of me like that." Jasper clicked his fingers, ignoring her interruption this time. He sighed, closing his eyes for a moment before walking over to one of the chairs that had been placed inside the closet.

"Are you worried?"

"Not worried. Cautious." He corrected, watching as she pulled a dress over her head. She danced across to him a few seconds later, settling herself onto his knee. He smiled softly as she placed her hands on his cheeks. She'd taken to doing that shortly after he'd told her about how Maria would grab and pull at his face to get him to do what she wanted. He figured she was showing him that people could touch him that way and it not mean that danger or pain was coming.

"I know it's hard for you to accept right now, but I know we'll be safe here. I wouldn't have come otherwise." Jasper nodded. He knew that, deep down. But that didn't help him relax. "I've had visions, Jazz. You'll settle in. It might just take a little while. But we'll persevere, and we will get there."

Jasper couldn't accept her assurances just yet. But he nodded once more and then smirked, his eyes falling on the clothes littering the room.

"Look at the mess you've made."

"My closet." Alice teased, sticking her tongue out at him.

Thank you for reading.
