As of now, I was home chilling on the couch, reading one of my love stories when I heard a knock at the door.
Grunting, I grabbed my crutches and struggled to stand up then made my way to the door.
Damn dad, just had to go out for a bit. Something about that station, I don't know, wasn't really paying attention.
I opened the door and to my utter shock there stood Jasper, basking in all his glory.
He smiled when he saw me and held out something.
Stunned to the core, I looked down and saw a thick text like book. Shifting my crutches I reached out and took it from his hands and saw it was a sign language book.
Opening it and skimming through the pages I saw it looked slightly complicated.
I looked up at him.
"Is there one for dummies? Like 'Sign language for dummies'?" I asked.
He laughed and shrugged.
He stood there, as he shifted awkwardly.
"Oh right! Do you want to come in?" I asked.
He smiled sexily and nodded then walked in as I tried to make room for him to walk in.
I turned to see him looking at everything with a keen eye, studying the smallest of things with interest.
He turned and saw me staring at him and he smirked lazily.
"Uh...um...living room" I said as I pointed towards the living area. Nodding he walked in and sat down on the couch.
Walking in I went towards the chair, then struggled to sit down but somehow managed without putting too much pressure on my hip.
I opened the book Jasper dropped off and saw the first few pages were the alphabet in sign...Sign language had the alphabet?
"Oh boy..." I sighed as I looked it over.
Oh well, I was determined to learn it, and learn it well.
Jasper moved up from the couch and sat down on the arm rest of the couch then gently took the book from me. He pointed to the first picture and copied the picture with his right hand. I looked up and he was looking down at me, he motioned for me to try and I imitated the sign he made, which was A. It was actually quite easy. He then did B, and I imitated him once again.
After about half an hour, we went through the whole alphabet and Jasper was testing me. He was making motions with his hand and I had to say what it was. And I only got a few wrong, which was good I thought for only learning it in half an hour.
After another ten minutes and getting none wrong in that time Jasper grinned widely then clapped his hands.
I started laughing in mirth. I knew the sign alphabet!
I didn't know any words but got to start out small right? But at least I knew some sign language.
He smiled but then I heard the front door open and shut as I jumped at the sudden noise. Jasper saw my reaction and looked up just as my dad became visible in the door way.
"Oh hello" Charlie said and looked unsure.
"Dad this is Jasper" I nodded to Jasper, who was still sitting on the chair arm rest.
Jasper stood up as my dad walked towards him.
"Nice to meet you Jasper, I'm Charlie" My dad said carefully and held out his hand for Jasper to shake.
Jasper bowed his head then shook hands with Charlie.
"Well..." Charlie shifted uncomfortably and Jasper wasn't in any better shape either.
"Jasper was helping me actually. Helping me learn sign language" I announced, trying to break the uncomfortable silence.
"Oh, well that's...nice" Charlie nodded and smiled awkwardly.
I then heard a buzzing noise and saw Jasper pull out his phone then he looked over at me and smiled apologetically.
"Got to go?" I asked. He nodded.
"Well, have a safe drive home" I said. He nodded, then nodded at Charlie and left.
Charlie looked over at me.
"Seems like a talkative kid" He nodded and quirked a smile.
"Dad you know he can't talk" I chuckled.
"He's deaf Bella. Not mute. He probably could" He stated.
"I guess your right" I shrugged.
"Pizza?" Charlie asked. I laughed as I nodded.
Charlie couldn't cook if his life depended on it. I seriously have no idea how he lived alone all these years.
Charlie left to go order the pizza.
...
...
...
After a normal, uneventful evening I woke up to my dad harshly shaking me.
"What?" I whined.
"I'm off to the station. You should get up. You have school" He said then left me in peace.
How the hell was I going to go to school? I guess I could try to drive?
Really though, sometimes my dad was senseless...
Rolling over and gingerly sitting up I groggily grabbed my crutches and struggled to stand up, after a few failed attempts I became victorious and was now on my way to the bathroom.
...
...
...
Now, all dressed and cleaned up, I stared down the stair case in pure dread. I had to get down those steep stairs. It was a hard feat just getting up them, never mind getting down them.
I think I'm going to start sleeping on the couch.
Really this was just ridiculous.
A clumsy girl with crutches going down stairs just doesn't work. The law of gravity says it's illegal and will automatically correct me.
Slowly and carefully as humanly possible...or Bella possible I should say, I started my descent (sp?) down the stairs at a snail's pace.
The climb down literally took like ten minutes, but it was successful so I won't complain.
I felt my phone vibrate and winced. It was a habit to put it in my right pocket but I was going to have to change that, it frickin hurt my hip.
Reaching and gingerly pulling it out of my pocket I noticed I got a text from Jasper.
I'm taking you to school. Be ready.
It simply read. But I couldn't help but be a little touched. He was going out of his way to take me to school. But we still had like half an hour...
I didn't like being toooo early, so hopefully he wasn't here soon.
Just after I finished that thought I heard the door bell and a knock.
Oh well...
Damn this hallway is just too narrow!
Can barley move in this lil tube of a hallway.
Finally making it to the door, my crutches only hit a few things on the way I ungraciously open the door and stumbled into the wall on my left side, absolutely losing my balance.
Really Bella, what a way to make an impression...
Jasper shot forward and helped me steady myself.
"Thank you" I said embarrassed and looked away, flushing an embarrassing shade of red.
Jasper just chuckled and pointed behind me, to where my school beg rested...damn, I was going to have to go back that whole six feet to get it.
Mother hell...
Jasper slide by me gracefully and grabbed it for me.
Aw, what a sweet guy.
He then came back to me, gently grabbed my elbow and motioned to the outside.
"One second, need my jacket" I said as I reached over to the coat rack and grabbed my rain coat.
I slipped it on then let Jasper lead me out of the house. He shut the door behind him then held out his hand to me. I thought he meant for my hand so just as I was about to grab his he pulled it away.
Only a lot confused I looked up at him puzzled. What did he want?
He then held up his hand, his thumb and middle finger connecting then he shook his hand, as if shaking invisible keys.
He even mouthed the word 'key'.
Oh right...I need to lock up the house.
"Front small pocket" I said as I pointed to my school bag he was carrying.
He reached down and unzipped the right compartment and pulled out my set of keys.
He held it out for me to pick the house key. Quickly taking them from him, I grabbed the brass key that was for the house then handed him back the keys and he locked the door.
He then walked down one stair and waited for. He then started to assist me walking down the stairs; he actually made it a whole lot easier to.
Once we made it successfully down I looked up and saw his ride.
Holy damn...
It was a fancy black Mercedes.
Must have cost a fortune...Cullen's must be freakishly rich.
Jasper took me to the passenger side took my crutches and helped me into the passenger side then shut the door behind me and put my crutches in the trunk.
Moving his way to the driver's side he opened his door and gracefully slid in.
Wish I could do that...
Whenever I got in I always almost hit my head...
The drive to school was quite...but really what do you expect with someone who was completely deaf? Can't exactly chat it up...well I suppose we could, but Jasper would need to text his reply, and that was dangerous.
And I want to live a little longer thank you.
And since Jasper had a need for speed, we arrived quickly.
Getting my crutches from his trunk then coming to the passenger door, Jasper rested my crutches against his car gently then grabbed my hands in his and I swear to whoever lived upstairs ((no offense. I am Christian, so no offense)) that an electrical shock ignited throughout my whole body.
And it wasn't static electricity, this was somehow different.
It was almost, pleasurable ...
And it kind of scared me, I mean, how do you find electrical shocks pleasurable?
Great, just great.
I'm probably going to be into some weird kink now...
I've touched Jasper many times but never have I felt this...
And when I looked up at him in shock, I saw the pure surprise that was there, which means he must have felt it too.
Oh...then maybe it was just static electricity...?
But it felt so odd yet good...
Jasper cleared his throat then proceeded to help me up and handed me my crutches.
He walked along side me as we walking into the school building.
I felt like I had some weird infestation on my face with the way people were staring at me and whispering.
"Yeah I got hit by a car, what of it?" I snapped at a group of people who didn't even hide the fact they were trying to catch flies.
They froze up, then scampered off to who cares where.
Jasper tapped my shoulder.
I turned to him.
"What?" I asked.
He showed me his phone.
What class do you have right now?
"Oh. I have math" I announced with a sigh.
He nodded then gently took my by the elbow and pointed to the hall.
"Oh you want to take me to class?" I asked him. He just nodded.
"That's okay. I think I remember where it is. I don't want you late for your class" I elaborated but he just waved his hand in a dismissing gesture and started walking in the direction of my class.
Sighing, knowing I lost this little...whatever and started to follow him. He matched his stride to mine as we walked to my class.
As soon as we made it to my math class the bell rang and I shot Jasper a look and he grinned, seemed to lean towards me without even knowing what he was doing and kissed my cheek briefly then ran off to his class I'm assuming.
And I stood in front of the class door way, frozen like a statue. I could still feel my cheek tingling pleasantly.
Damn that boy...
He doesn't even know what he does to me.
"Bella?" I heard my rude ass teacher call me from my stupor.
He was glaring at me from his seat at his desk.
"Would you like to join us?" He said sternly while till giving me a hard look.
I just rolled my eyes.
"Yes sir" I saluted him and made my way to my seat.
...
...
...
Well math class was just fucking horrid.
Mr. Got-A-Stick-Up-My-Ass was giving me a hard time that whole period.
I mean really, I just got hit by a car yesterday, give me a break.
I mean how the fuck am I suppose to know what we worked on yesterday?
I was too busy getting hit by a car!
Grumbling and glowering at my math teacher I made my way out of my class and saw Jasper leaning against the wall across of it, looking bored.
But his whole face lit up when he saw me and he rose from his relaxed position against the wall and made his way over to me.
Jasper stood in front of me then grinned and his smiles were just contagious so I smiled like a fool in return.
He then started to walk in the direction of our next class that we had together. It was nice just walking next to him, feeling the heat radiate off his body and feel his calming presence.
We entered the classroom and took the same seats as we had the last time and waited for the bell to ring.
Just as if on que, the bell rang loudly and our nice female teacher stood up and called the class to attention.
Apparently we were going to have a novel study. On a book called kiss by an angel.
The teacher talked about it briefly, and what we had to do and such.
Just read it and write a 6 page essay. Quite easy actually. I could have that done in a jiffy.
And just like that the lunch bell rang loudly and proudly...Don't know why proudly...it was a horrible sounding bell. As rude as this may sound, Jasper was lucky he didn't have to hear that horrid sound. Sounded like a deformed bird dying an agonizing death.
Well, didn't I feel like a circus freak.
I swear as soon as I walked in, people who were talking to their friends noticed me walk in and started to whisper to their friends like a bunch of old lady's.
Sighing, I hobbled awkwardly around people on my way to the buffet thingy for just an apple. Jasper follow and tapped me on the shoulder.
Turned to him awkwardly I looked at him silently as he typed in his phone. Don't know why he just didn't text me, though this was probably easier and faster.
Do you want to sit with your other friends? Cuz if u want, u can come sit with me and the fam.
I looked up at him stunned. I felt...touched. He just offered me to sit with him and his family.
I mean this wasn't like a big deal or anything...but it sure felt like it.
I then turned to the table seating my other friends and saw Jessica. No doubt would she hound me for answers then spread them and add her own little twists.
"Sure I'll sit with you" I smiled shyly. I mean, I was going to meet his family.
I was nervous as fuck.
He smiled in turn and started to lead the way.
Once he reached the table his family sat up, they looked up upon his arrival and he started to talk to them sing sign language.
He then motioned to me and I felt like a tiny baby mouse.
And it didn't help with the fact his twin was looking at me like I was a bug that needed to be squashed.
I mean like holy fuck.
I saved her twins life yesterday, at least have the courtesy to act like you can tolerate me.
"Hi. I'm Bella" I waved awkwardly.
"I'm Emmett" Emmett grinned, showing the most adorable dimples one could ever see.
I also saw he had hazel eyes.
"I'm Alice" Alice smiled at me as her eyes shone happily. She had stormy grey eyes.
"Edward" Edward nodded and smiled shyly. He had the most exotic shade of green one could ever find. They literally shone like emeralds.
"Rosalie" Rosalie said plainly but still looked at me in distaste.
If she wasn't carful I was going to light that pretty blonde hair of hers on fire.
"Nice to meet you all" I smiled at everyone but rose. I just looked at her plainly.
Jasper pulled a seat back and helped me in it.
"Thank you" I smiled. He grinned as he pulled his own seat out and sat down.
"How do you like forks Bella?" Emmett asked.
"Hard to say...I did get hit by a car in my first week" I smiled sarcastically that sent him into a booming round of chuckles.
"Yeah that does affect one's judgment" He smiled at me.
"And I also think God must not like Forks that much" I said with a 'Matter-of-fact' tone.
"Why do you think that?" Alice asked.
"Well, because he keeps pissing on it" I said like it was obvious.
Everyone at the table started to crack up, even Jasper. And I swear Rosalie even cracked a smile.
"But that must have sucked, getting hit by a car" Edward stated.
Not shit Sherlock...
No, it was a blast, getting bulldozed by a car.
I think he saw my expression so he elaborated.
"So soon. Hell, getting hit by a car period sucks" He said.
Well, wasn't he an intelligent one...
"Naw it's a blast getting hit by a car" I smirked lazily and Emmett boomed a laugh.
Awwww!
Eddie boy blushed!
That's kind of cute.
"Why didn't you just jump out of the way?" Rose said like the big bitch she is.
I looked at her blankly then raised my eye brow.
"Because I was too busy losing my balance like the klutz I am after I pushed your brother out of the way" I stared blankly.
Everyone at the table froze. I looked at everybody confused then turned to Jasper as he let out a sigh.
No one knew I pushed him out of the way?
He turned to me, looking extremely apologetic. He then started to text a message.
No 1 knows. No 1 really pays attention to me. So they didn't notice that i was even there in the path of that oncoming car. They all think it was just u.
I looked up and he looked sad. Everyone treated him like he was invisible and it was really starting to piss me off.
Hell!
His own family didn't even notice he was going to get hit by a car!
Was I really the only one that saw him almost get hit by a car?
I looked around the table and everyone was looking at me wide eyed and jaws unhinged.
I looked at Rosalie and narrowed my eyes.
She was a real bitch and I hope she knew it.
Well, she probably did...but still...
I saved her twins life, and she treated me like a leper.
She needs to grow some respect.
I stood up.
"I think I'll just go to my next class" I announced and turned away.
Well...I had about half an hour to kill...
Wonderful...
I made it to the biology lab and went to a table then sat down and started at the white board blankly.
Well, this was fun...
Just then Jasper walked through the doorway and hesitantly walked in.
I swivelled the stool to the side as he came to stand in front of me.
"I'm sorry" He mouthed.
I looked at him stunned.
Why should he be sorry?
"Why?" I asked him.
"I didn't tell them" He mouthed.
I wished he would talk, just so I would know he sounded.
I craved to know what he sounded like. It was almost a need.
Damnit this was confusing...
"It's okay. I'm not mad" I smiled.
Not at him anyway...just at everybody else.
They need to start treating him a little better.
Hell, a whole lot fuckin better.
Jasper smiled in return then looked like he was thinking over something hard.
He inhaled a breath, and seemed to hold it in for a few second before releasing it in a quite gush.
He then hesitantly brought his hands up, then reached out and gently held my face between his hands.
He softly stroked my cheek bones as I stared back at him.
He better be fucking kissing me.
Because if he chickens out, I will grab him and face rape him if I have to.
He slowly leaned forward and just a breath away from my lips he smiled softly and moved just the slightest more until his lips were just brushing mine. His lips moved, as if he said something, but not out loud, then that's when he kissed me.
It was feathery and soft and gentle. It was perfect.
He pulled away and rested his forehead to mine. I could feel his breath on my mouth but it didn't bug me, in fact as weird as this was. It calmed me.
He pulled back and stared into my eyes.
It was shocking to know I only knew his for a few days, yet feel like this...
But it felt...right
