Chapter 29

I woke up to the phone ringing turned and looked at the clock I had 2 more hours before I was needed to get up. I rolled over grabbed my cell and answered the call without looking at the number.

"Bella this is Jasper Hale. I don't know if you remember me or not, but I wanted to know if I could come over and talk with you about something very important." He said this so fast I am not sure I understood everything he said.

"Jasper, your Alice's boyfriend and Rose's brother right?" I asked.

"Yes that's me. I would really like to speak to you, it is kind of important." He stated.

"Sure I don't have to leave for work until 6:30." I stated back to him.

"I will see you in a few as I am already headed your way." He told me.

I went ahead and took my shower and got dressed for work. I had no clue why Jasper would want to talk to me. I did not know much about him. He had seemed nice on Saturday when we meet. I could tell he really loved Alice, and she felt the same way about him. Thinking of Saturday made me start crying again. The pain was still too fresh. I had just gotten my crying under control when there was a knock on the door. I went and answered it and there stood Jasper, but he also had Edward with him. I felt like slamming the door in their faces. However, instead I stepped a side and let them in.

"Why is he here?" I spat out with venom, as I was not mad.

"We are here to talk to you about your court case." Jasper said with this huge grin on his face.

"What about it?" I still was mad and my voice told them that.

"Well you see I am a Lawyer a very good one at that if I may say so myself." Jasper told me.

"So you're a Lawyer. What does that have to do with my case?" I questioned him.

"Bella I pulled the transcripts from the court house, and I can see that you Lawyer never believed in you from the beginning he was in it for whatever little money you had. I think we can get this reopened, and you have a great chance in clearing your name. Which also makes the college obligated to let you back in." Jasper said.

"What you really think this is possible?" I asked.

"Yes it's all possible all you have to do is sign this piece of paper giving me the permission to reopen the case, and I can get the ball rolling." Jasper stated while he was handing me the paper to sign.

"Whose idea was this?" I asked.

"Bella it was Edward's idea and that is why he is here. He called me this morning to ask if this was possible, and it took me most of the day to locate your case. He was walking out of the office when I called him and told him that I wanted to talk with you. He said that he wanted to be here, and I could not argue with that since it was his idea." Jasper told me.

'Thank you both for this." I told him and I smiled at Edward for the first, since he had walked through the door of the apartment.

I signed the paper and told them that I needed to get to work, but before I could leave Edward spoke to me.

"Bella I know I hurt you and right now you don't want much to do with me, but the job offer is still there if you want it." He said this in a tone I did not recognize. It was as if he himself was in pain.

"Edward thank you, but the job, I have is good enough for me." I stated without looking at him. As I knew if I looked at him, I would melt right back into the place I did not want to be at this moment.

I stood and this time I walked out leaving the two guys sitting there. I went to work thinking about the piece of paper I just signed giving Jasper a chance to reopen my court case. How was I going to pay him or was Edward doing this to show me how much he cares. My mind was going in so many different directions that I missed my subway stop and had to back track two stops, so I was late for work. Great late for work what is the boss going to say to me now.

I clocked in and headed up stairs to my floor. As I cleaned, I still could not get what had just transpired at the apartment out of my head. I did not even notice when it was time for lunch, so I skipped it. When I went to clean the bosses' office, I was not nervous about going in or how I would find it. I emptied the trash then I decided to read the note.

My Dearest Bella,

I know that you really don't want me to call you that as you have gone back to being so formal with me, but I can't stop how I feel about you. I understand where you are coming from, and I will do what I can to earn your trust. I understand that I need to take a step back and wait until you are ready to see me in person. I am not mad at you for not showing up for coffee today; I will not ask you again to meet me for coffee. I will wait until you ask me to meet you for coffee. I hope that day will be soon as the longer I am a part from me the more my heart breaks. I know that your heart is in pieces, and I will do my best to pieces it back together. You are the keeper of my heart, which is also in pieces right now, and only you can piece it back together. I will do everything in my power to piece yours together, and I hope that you will be willing to let me.

Yours always now and forever

Mr. Edward

Ok so he is in pain just like me. Maybe I should give him a break after all he is trying to straighten out a big mess for me. I know that he would only do this if he deeply cared for me. Was I ready to let him back into my life? Maybe, I am not sure. If we took it slow and started off as friends that might work. It would be nice to have coffee with him before I head home for sleep. As I am not ready to change my job yet. I needed to see more change in him and see that he really is changing for the right reasons and not just for me, they need to be genuine.

Mr. Edward,

First I want to say thank you for asking Jasper to help me. I know it will cost big money. Money that I don't have now or in the near future, so I assume that you plan to pay for this. I will only let you pay for this if you will let me buy you the coffee in the mornings. Since you will be reading this on Wednesday day let's start meeting again say next Tuesday. As I still need a few more days to get my mind in the right place to be around you for any length of time. This is not easy for me, I have always worked for everything I have and letting you pay for a top-notch Lawyer for me just don't seem right so you will have to let me pay you back when I can. So please keep records of all the money you pay Mr. Jasper. Thank you again. You have a great day.

Ms. Bella
