Chapter 3

Bella

I wake up to see Jasper and Carlisle standing by the door talking. I couldn't really hear anything over the beeping machines. Jasper must've felt my curiosity because the two of them turn to face me. Jasper makes his way over to my side and Carlisle says he would be right back with the discharge papers. Jasper asks how I'm feeling and I ask if he couldn't already tell.

"You're nervous, scared, and angry. I'm not sure what you're nervous about. I'm guessing you're scared because of going back to the house where Edward is. I'm sure you're angry because you think we're making up the whole Edward abusing you, but that's not the case. When we get back to the house Carlisle is going to show you the medical reports. If we weren't claiming that Edward is dead then the hospital would've had to call the police for suspecting abuse. We don't need the cops trying to dig around on us. We also don't need your dad thinking he could take Edward in. We'll talk a little more when we get back to the house. Carlilse is taking the day off to help you get settled in. Charlie will be out to visit you tomorrow when he has some time off."

"Why do I have to stay at the house? That's way too close for my comfort. You're right about me being scared because of Edward. I'm angry, but not at you guys. I'm angry at myself for falling for his sorry ass. I mean I remember everything he did to me and I can't believe I found myself in that position. I'm nervous because what if my dad wants me to go home with him. I don't want to be a burden to any one, but I'm not going to be able to take care of myself for a while now," I tell him.

"Look, I've got a cabin close to the house, but not too close. I'll go talk to Carlisle and see if we can't set you up there. Everything works properly in the cabin. There's a T.V. and Wi-Fi. He shouldn't have a problem with it, but I want to make sure it's okay with him." He gets up to leave the room.

I nod because there was no way in the world I'd be going back to that house. Not after everything I went through.

Jasper

I left the room in search of Carlisle so I could talk to him about taking Bella to my cabin. The fear I felt coming from her when I told her we'd be going to the house almost dropped me to my knees. I bump right into Carlisle, which is a shock all on its own since I'm a vampire.

"Son?" Carlisle asks.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Can we speak in your office right quick?"

"Sure," he says.

When we get to his office, he shuts the door, and tells me to take a seat. I sit in one of the seats across from his desk. He takes a seat and puts the paperwork down on his desk.

"What is it, son?" He asks, concern flowing through him.

"It's about Bella. When you said something about her coming back to the house there was instant fear. She's afraid of going back to the house where Edward is. Would I be able to take her to my cabin near the house, so maybe she isn't so afraid."

"May I ask what is going on between the two of you?"

"She's my mate. I've always felt very protective over her. After seeing her in the shape she was in yesterday made the major come out. I've got him under control, but feeling the fear coming off her makes us both shaky. Would it be best for her to go to the house, with him still there, while she's in the shape she's in?"

"No, it wouldn't be best. I agree with you there as her healing may be delayed if she's in the same house as him. We'll take the discharge papers to her room, then you two can head to your cabin. I'll have Rose and Emmett get that set up right away."

My phone vibrates in my pocket and I slide it out.

Tell doc not to worry about it. Char and I got here earlier than expected and shall be setting up your cabin. We're stopping for human food and other things your cabin doesn't have right now. See you soon Major. Peter

"Char and Peter are here. They'll be setting up the cabin. I'm sure Bella would be happy to get out here."

"Are you sure it's wise for them to be around Bella?"

"Carlisle, they don't feed off innocents. You know that for a fact. Bella Will be perfectly safe with them around. If I had an inkling that either of them meant any harm to her then they wouldn't be here." I look him in the eyes.
