Chapter 9
Bella
Jasper made Peter make sure Alice and Trent left leaving the two of us alone. Jasper put me in the wheelchair and I wheeled myself to the bedroom. I couldn't be alone with Jasper right this second. Once I was in the room I climbed into the bed without needing help.
"Bell, ya know that I'm not leavin' don't ya?" I hear Jasper's voice ask from the doorway.
I close my eyes and make myself even my breath. I did need to rest and might as well do it now. I hear the door close shortly before hearing the front door close. I start crying because of course I'd lose the ones I care about soon. Peter and Char had their own lives. Jas would be finding his true mate. The Cullens would probably leave if Edward were to die.
"Sug, can I come in?" Char asks.
"Yeah," I whisper knowing she could hear me.
"Sug, why ya cryin'? Why is Major out there destroying the forest?" She asks sitting on the bed.
I shake my head and bury my face in the pillow. I hear the front door open and boots stomping to the bedroom. I roll over just as Peter enters the room.
"Damn that pixie to the pits of hell." He turns after one look at me and stomps out the door.
"What happened while I was gone?" Char asks.
"Alice and her mate were here after Jas and I got back from my appointment. Alice then asks me what's going on with me and Jas. I tell her nothing, then she tells me her and Jas aren't married anymore. She said she seen his true mate. I know when I'm better you all will leave and I'll be alone once again." I look anywhere, but at her.
"Cryin' out loud. Look, Major is gonna kill me for this, but I think ya need to know," she says.
"Know what?"
"Major will not be leavin' ya after ya get better. Y'all are stuck together like glue. Pete an' I will never leave ya. If the Cullens leave then so be it, but ya will never be alone. Major never told ya that he came down here while they were all in Alaska and felt what ya were goin' through, but ya will never feel like that again." She gives me a stern look and I nod.
Jasper
After I say that and get no response I head out the front door. I go deep into the woods and start tearing up anything in my path. Peter comes out and asks if I'm alright. I kept destroying things ignoring him because I was pissed. Bell thought I was going to leave her when in fact I couldn't leave her even if I tried, which I wouldn't. Alice had to go and stick her nose in something that didn't need it. She pissed me off more and I couldn't believe that I was married to her for so long.
"Major! Ya need to get back to hon in there. She's very upset and needs ya," Peter tells me.
"She doesn't want to be near me. She wouldn't even look my direction after I asked ya to leave." I throw the last branch.
"She's upset and confused. Ya comin' out here like that especially when she's upset makes her think you'll leave. She thinks once she's better we're all leavin' her. Char an' I have tried reassurin' her, but ya are her mate and can reassure better than us."
"She doesn't know that shes my mate," I say looking at him.
"Then ya need to tell her. It'll be better if ya tell her now rather than letting her find out when we question Eddie," he tells me.
We head back to the cabin and as we get in view we hear Char and Bell in the living room. I look at Peter and he shrugs his shoulders. We walk in the door to see Bell and Char sitting on the couch watching a movie.
"What are y'all doin'?" Peter asks.
"Watching a movie since we got bored waiting on the two of ya," Char says not looking up from the movie.
"Can I get you anything to drink darlin'?" I ask Bell.
"No, but can you take me to the kitchen. I want to make my popcorn, but I don't want to push myself. I walked to the living room without using my chair," she says.
I pick her up bridal style and carry her to the kitchen. I sit her on the island and grab a packet of popcorn. I popped into the microwave and set the timer. I then walk towards Bella.
"We need to talk," I say.
"About?" She asks.
"Us."
"What about us?" She asks mumbling under her breath, "I wish there was an us."
