Chapter 12

Jasper POV

This was going to be a long day. I thought to myself as I climbed the stairs. I could already feel the anger radiating off EJ.

"EJ let me in please I'm only here to help." I said as I quietly knocked on his door.

EJ opened the door and walked away. "EJ you need to talk to someone about this. You know you can talk to me I already know how you feel." He shot me a look

" you have no idea how I feel" he screamed at me. His words didn't hurt as much at the anger coming off him. I grabbed my chest.

"So sorry uncle jasper I forgot for a minute." He stepped towards me.

"It's okay really I'm fine." I reassured him. I didn't need him feeling worse because he had hurt me." He sat on his bed.

"It's just hard. Every time someone brings that girl up I think about mom. It's not that I hate mom I'm just mad that I didn't get to know her. I'm not like Elizabeth and I can't read it out of everyone's mind. Do you realize we never talk about her?"His emotion had flipped from pure anger to sadness.

"I know we don't talk about her cause it hurts dad but sometimes it feels like we are all just trying to pretend she didn't exist." I walked over and sat on the bed next to him.

"Well your dad isn't here right now what do you want to know?" He looked at me with a puzzled look.

"What was she like?" "Well" I said grabbing his hand. "Your mother was something special. You look a lot like her and your grandfather Charlie." I felt his become very curious.

"What was Grandpa Charlie like?"

"I only meet Charlie a couple of times. He was a very quiet man. Your aunt Alice adored him. He was the sheriff of the little town you were born in. But I thought this was to find out about your mother?" I stood up and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"To get something I'll be right back." I went to mine and Alice's room and got the photo book she had hidden there. When I can back to the room he was on pins and needles wanting to know what was up.

I opened the album and showed him a picture of Charlie with Alice. "this one was taken when your aunt had gone to stay with them after your mother attacked. Though Charlie thought she fell down two flights of stairs and out a hotel window. It was believable because that was your mother always such a klutz "

"What happened?" I smiled I could see this was helping his mood had became happy and very curious.

"It all started when a Vampire named James wanted to kill your mother. He tracked her down to where aunt Alice and I had taken her and tricked her into coming to him. Luckily your father showed up before he killed her. She ended up in the hospital for a while." As I stared into his eyes it was almost as if I could see Bella there telling me not to scare him.

"But Uncle Emmett, Aunt Alice and I took care of him. this one." I said as I flipped the page I had seen this book so many times with Alice that I knew every page like the back of my hand.

"was taken on your parents wedding day. Your Aunt Alice had planned the whole day down to the last second. She was a nightmare the whole time. Your mother was so beautiful that day. I remember your grandfather walking her down the aisle. This one is of your mom and dad on her eighteenth birthday. I guess you can say that wasn't a good day. But at least the actions of that day brought about an event that brought Jacob and Leah into our lives." I started to turn the page hoping that if I was fast enough he would ask the question I was pretty sure was on his mind.

"What happened that day" he asked. I guess I was wrong. "Well it's not a pretty story. You see we were having a party for your mom and I was still very new to the diet of just animals. I had spent over 100 years drinking nothing but human blood until I found your aunt Alice and your grandparents. And I didn't have very good self control back then so I usually kept my distance from your mom. But as she was opening one of her gifts she cut herself and I smelled the blood and something took over. As I charged for her your father threw me back and in the process knocked your mother into a bunch of glass that cut her deeper. Your uncle Emmett had to drag me outside." I hoped that he wouldn't think too badly of me for attacking his mom.

"You attacked mom. Wow so how did that brink the wolfs into our lives?" He was so full of questions. "Your father had thought that being around me and our family wasn't good for your mother so he left her and we went away for a long time. And in the time we were gone she had become good friends with Jacob." I was going to leave it at that I didn't know if he knew that his mother had loved Jacob more than just a friend or that Jacob's feeling were also more than friendship feelings and I wasn't going to tell him.

I flipped the page. The next picture was of Jacob and Bella dancing at her wedding. "That is Jacob and your mom and her wedding. And here she is a graduation with your dad. Aunt Alice had grabbed her diploma and ran didn't want your dad to read her mind. Your mother was the only everyone safe from him back then. It used to drive him crazy not to be able to read her mind. Your dad was so protective of her back then. He had to be sometimes she really knew how to get herself into trouble. He tried so hard to save her from death so many times. I think he blames himself for not saving her when you two were born. Your mom would have said that her number was up the first time he saved her from almost getting hit by a van and that death was always coming after her." He looked at me funny.

"Let's see in total id say your father saved your mother from death." I sat and pondered a minute. There was really way too many to count. "Too many times to count." I last picture was of Alice and Bella. This picture was much worn I had a feeling that my little monster had handled this picture a lot.

"This one is of your mom and Aunt Alice just before she left to go on her honeymoon with your father. This is probably the last picture we have of her before she died." I suddenly felt very sad but couldn't tell if it was coming from him or me.

"But if this picture was taken months before she died why's it the last?" I could tell now that the sadness was coming from me I really did miss Bella.

"When your mom and dad returned from their honeymoon she was pregnant with you guys and it was taking everything she had. She was so sick and frail. It was actually an idea that Jacob had that keep you all alive until your birth. You three were starving and nothing we gave your mom helped and he thought about blood and that's all it took. But do me a favor if you ever have any questions about her feel free to ask anyone and tell them that I told you to. Let your father deal with me." I tussled my hand threw his hair.

It was kind of sad that this hadn't happened before now. A hundred years is a long time to go without really knowing anything about your mother.

I love this chapter think its one of my personal favorites.
