"Nothing really changed you've got my heart.
I found a new place but it's not a brand new start.
I guess I'll be alright with it,
Can't fight with it.
Looks like you're coming here tonight."
Must-Have by, Joni Payne
Jake and the pack left soon after with Bella right on their trail, Edward stalked off somewhere. The Cullens and I however all sat in Carlisle's office, a radiating tension could be felt in every corner of the room. Jasper's grip on my hand tightened, and his face was fixed with dread and anger. I eyed Rosalie for a second, hoping she would get the message I was trying to send.
"Hey, why don't we give these two a moment to talk?" Rosalie suggested. The rest of the Cullen's nodded and left the room, closing the door quietly behind them. I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Not really no." He replied I could sense a tinge of attitude in his voice. He stood up and paced around the room.
"Dumb question I know..." I didn't really know what else to say, he had told me how he turned when he revealed he was a vampire to me. It had to bring back some bad memories.
"Newborns are...deadlier than any other vampire, no matter how powerful the gift of another vampire is."
I fought the urge to roll my eyes, sighing again instead...
"Ugh was I really going to get this lecture again?" I thought to myself.
"I know Jasper." I tried to say it in a way that wasn't rude... but from the look on his face it came out quite, dryly.
"Don't start that." He snapped and stopped pacing to look at me.
"Don't start what?"
"Every time I explain the basics of a newborn you act like that."
"Jazz..."
"Don't "Jazz" me!"
"Look... it's only because I already fucking know what they are... I don't know if you forgot but am one."
"And?"
"And!? I don't need to be reminded of how unpredictable I can be! I get it in the beginning when I was first changed but...I can't stand to hear it anymore...you make me feel like a monster."
"You need to know the things you're capable of."
"I KNOW WHAT I'M CAPABLE OF YOU TELL ME ALL THE TIME!" I said standing up and stopping right in front of him.
"Obviously you don't," Jasper replied, his voice was riddled with anger.
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"I mean you are still living with your father... you're going to tell me you haven't been tempted by his scent once?"
I didn't say anything... I knew what I wanted to say would be a lie.
"Yeah... I thought so."
"I do know something..." I snide in a condescending tone.
"Yeah? What's that?"
"I have more control over my blood lust than you... That's pretty transparent to everyone else here. You would rip out my Dad's throat out if he as much as scrap on the arm."
I couldn't stop myself from spewing those words out, but I was hurt... I felt the need to protect myself. He hit below the belt for me so I tried to do the same thing with him. The look on his face proved that it worked. Regret soon filled my body, the anger simmered down.
"Jasper..." he stormed off before I could say anything else.
"Oh, man..." I muttered to myself, I slid back onto the couch and rested my head on both of my hands, my engagement ring was in my line of view. It made me feel even worse.
"Fleur?" It was a voice I didn't hear often, I looked up and saw Dean looking at me.
"I really screwed up this time Dean." I heard him shuffle beside me.
"You were protecting yourself...you thought the words he was saying at first were an attack on you."
"Who wouldn't be hurt by someone describing things so vile that are true about you Dean? I mean... the number of times I've been tempted to completely drain the blood of my father and friends around me is horrible... I am disgusting..."
"You're not disgusting, you're just learning...and I am too still to this day. Moping about it isn't going to help you, we all saw where that got us with Edward a year ago."
"I know you're right...but."
"But what?"
"The things I said to Jasper...you should've seen the look on his face... I really hurt him."
"Fleur, he's a big boy... he just needs to cool off. You do too, talk when you both are a bit more level-headed."
"Yeah... that's probably a good idea... I'll see you guys tomorrow, I'm going to go out for a drive." I hugged Dean and made it out of Carlisle's office.
The looks on the faces of the Cullen's told me they heard what happened. I didn't even acknowledge them and soon left. Mountains of frustration and anger had finally been taken out inside of me. It was like a powerful earthquake hit, the fake facade of each inch on the mountain crumbled to the ground. I took it out on the wrong person... one who was just trying to help me. I texted my father telling him I would be spending the night at the Cullens so he didn't wait upon me. I didn't even know where I wanted to go, so I just drove around aimlessly on the highway in complete silence. It was calming to be by myself for a bit. But the anger and guilt still crept up behind me.
I tried to justify why I said the things I did, he sounded like a broken record to me. Constantly reminding me of the things I hate about myself... It felt like I was going insane. But... I knew his past going into a relationship... how he was changed, the things he was forced to do. What was happened now must've brought something up that he was constantly trying to forget. It must've terrified him, we didn't even fully know who was behind it, there were too many suspects to decide who it really was. That probably didn't help with anything either. I knew tomorrow we would have to train the wolves to fight this army... hopefully everything would go well.
Timeskip: A day later.
I arrived later than everyone else, the only one that was missing was Edward. Jasper and I met eyes quickly before I darted them down to the ground. I walked and stood next to him, before I could say anything to him he walked away.
"Emmett... come here, why don't we warm up before the wolves get here."
"Bring it." Emmett said, a smirk was on his face and he was cracking his knuckles.
Three seconds later, Emmett was flying through the air and landed hard on the ground. I walked over to Rosalie whose face was in shock.
"I guess he's still mad then?" She inquired.
"Yeah..." I saw Edward and Bella pull up next to my car.
"He sure is..."
"AGAIN!"
