"hey guys this is Connor" I blurted nervously
Suddenly a feeling of overwhelming calm washed over me curtesy of jasper. After shooting him a grateful glance I continued
"she is an old friend who's gunna be staying for a while"
"it's really nice to meet you guys" Connor expressed formally but with her signature grin, "I always wondered who captain would move on to"
"why'd you keep calling her captain?" jasper drawled
"ah that is a story for another time" I cut in whilst shooting Connor the look
"well must be off, got a hotel to find" sighed conour
"what?" I screeched "no way, you're staying by my side whilst you're here. Understand. You know that's a reckless idea but..."
"I know it was stupid, sorry babe" she jumped in
"good" I huffed
"I really should go though, I need to run a few errands. Will you be ok here?"
"hey, where's your faith in me babe" I joked
"just don't want to see you hurt" she whispered whilst pulling me into a tight hug. "missed you"
"missed you to darlin" I ever so slightly drawled in return
Jasperpov:
God, I have so many questions. Who is she, what's with the name, even her voice changed when this Connor came along? Maybe we should invite her and Bella over tonight.
"that's a great idea jazz" whispered Alice
"would it go ok?" I asked worriedly whilst glancing at a pissed off Edward and back
"he'll hate it, but it's for the best" she sighed
"hey wait up, Connor, right?" I called
"that's me" she grinned back
"do you and Bella want to come over to our place tonight, we would love to learn more about you" I drawled
"yeh sure" she squealed happily before giving Bella one last squeeze and disappearing.
Bellapov:
"please can you not ask questions yet" I sighed before looking up at the Cullen's for the first-time sine conour arrived.
"but bellaaaa" moaned Alice childishly
"but aliceeeee" I replied I the same tone
"please Bella, tell me what she was thinking isn't true, that its some made up fantasy" begged Edward suddenly
"well that depends love, what did you see?" I asked nervously
"everything, she thought about you two the whole time"
"well you know what Edward, fuck you" I said confidently whilst standing up.
"what" he exclaimed, mirroring the shocked faces of the other Cullen's
"you heard me" I stated in an overly calm voice, "you have no right to judge the way I lived my life, especially when you obviously didn't see the much worse part"
"what worse part"
"like hell I'm going to tell you now" I shot back angrily "I'm going home, we'll be over at four"
"Bella" a chiming voice called, "be careful"
"thanks, Alli" I mumbled before leaving
Jasperpov:
Woah Bella has never blown-up like that. Ive always seen my little sis being so calm and collected like me, I guess eve I can lash out though when provoked. But what is it that our Eddie boy saw that could piss her off so much?
"you should follow her jazz, just you" Alice whispered to me whilst gripping my hand.
"why me?" I asked
"because" she sighed like it was obvious "your Switzerland"
"and that is?" I chuckled at her term
"it means neutral jasper" Edward huffed, "now go"
"fine bossy jeez" I gruffed
After successfully avoiding Edward death glare and making it outside I watched Bella climb into that rust bucket of hers. Don't get me wrong it's a great car but if only she would let one of us get the damn thing restored. Enjoying the moment of fresh air, I greedily gulped it down before following after her.
"hm not the way to your house" I pondered aloud after Bella had made her fourth left turn. Finally, she pulled up outside and old looking cabin. It was small but looked well built, as if it could stand through a nuclear attack let alone a blizzard. Watching silently from the trees I saw her stumble out of the cab and climb up the side of the building. With my sharp eyesight I caught the small silver key that she clutched in her hand ever so tightly. Once at the top she unlocked what looks like a padlock on a trap door then slid in.
"thank god" I sighed as I watched her slip out cautiously with a large metal box. Relocking the trap door carefully and sliding very gracefully back down she hopped back into the truck, never once losing focus on her surroundings or letting go of the box. In another swift motion she has started the track back to her house.
"did you have to follow me jasper?" she sighed whilst unlocking the front door
"how did you?" I started stepping out of the shadows
"you're not as quiet as you think you are" she finished smugly before making her way inside with me following closely
"sooo... what's in the box?" I drawled
"none of you concern" she drawled right back
"wait what's with the accent?" I cried, felling way to confused at the situation
"jazz, go home. I'll be fine here I promise till four then I will answer all your questions ok?" she sighed gently
"ok" I murmured dejectedly almost too low for her to here before making my way towards the still open front door
"jasper" she called right as I was about to leave, "the box stays between us"
Nodding I closed the door and headed back to the now at home family.
