Slap me on the hand...

Disclaimer: Need I bother saying it?


"What the fu…"

Jasper's hand clamped over my mouth.

"Don't swear in public, honestly, Bella, be a lady"

His eyes followed my gaze.

"What the fuck!?"

"Jasper what happened to not swearing in public?"

"Screw it that was before Edward Cullen "-Jasper spat his name out like it was poison-"showed up".

The bronze haired head turned in our direction; there was a look of shock and horror on his face as he saw me with Jasper, who still had his arm around my shoulders.

"Are you two dating now?" he said as if it was the most horrible thing in the world. "You seemed to move on pretty quick, Alice and I only left about three weeks ago"

"You son of a…" I started to say when Jasper covered my mouth again

"I'll handle this Bella"

He went to punch him in the face but Edward stopped him before he could.

"Jasper, I don't want to turn this into a punch up, we're in a restaurant, do you want people to see a" I dropped my voice to a whisper "vampire fight?"

"I guess not," Edward said, Jasper just shrugged and grunted. How childish.

We turned to leave when Jasper suddenly stopped and turned around

"Just one question, what are you doing here"

A small man in his mid fifties coughed slightly and shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Jasper said nothing; just stared at the balding man who stared guiltily back at him.

I thought he was going to kill the man, but he turned and dragged me out of the restaurant without a second glance.

The drive back to Forks passed in a cold, stony silence as cold as Jaspers own skin. It seemed to drag on forever. Even though he didn't need to even bother, Jasper kept his eyes trained on the road and looked at nothing else. I was too scared to speak to him; I didn't even tell him to slow down when he went way past the speed limit.

After what seemed like an eternity, Jasper pulled up outside my house. I looked at him, confused.

"Don't I usually stay with you on Saturdays? I asked him.

"Yeah, you do. And I'm going to stay" he answered "We're staying here tonight"

"But Charlie…" I pointed out the obvious

Jasper smiled and leaned over to open my door, my heart started beating frantically. He flashed a charming, heart stopping smile at me that showed off his perfect teeth.

"Don't worry about Charlie, I'll be extra quiet" he whispered so low I could barely hear him. "I'll wait till he's asleep, then I'll meet you in your room. Good night for now".

I stumbled out of the car and sighed. I turned around to see Jasper's car turn the corner and disappear.

"About time you came home" Charlie scolded me from the lounge "You may be eighteen, but you still have a curfew".

Not wanting to hear any more I hurried upstairs and got changed into a T-shirt and some old sweat pants. I flopped onto my bed and waited for Jasper to appear at the window. I must've fallen asleep sometime while I was waiting. I woke up the next morning and Jasper wasn't there. Sigh.

I went downstairs to find an empty house and still no Jasper. It was the first time I had been left alone for the night and I was beginning to feel rather lonely. I decided to keep myself busy and make breakfast, instead of wallow in self-pity.

As the day progressed, Jasper didn't return. I was bored with cleaning the house after I'd scrubbed the kitchen floor for the third time. It was so clean I could see my reflection. I check the clock; it was only 2:30 p.m.

"Bella" a voice like wind chimes said from behind me. I glanced down at my reflection to see Rosalie standing over my shoulder.

I screamed in shock, and stood up a bit too quickly. I stumbled backwards and tripped over the bucket of water, making the floor slippery and causing me to slip over. Fortunately Rosalie caught me before I hit the ground.

"Um, hey Rosalie". I wondered briefly why she was here, then turned to find something to clean up the dirty water which was now all over the kitchen floor. I would have to clean it again.

"Bella, sit" she commanded and I obeyed, sitting at one of the mismatched chairs at the table. Rosalie didn't sit; instead she stood as far into the corner of the kitchen as possible. We both said nothing for a while.

"Bella," she started "Carlisle sent me to tell you that Edward and Alice have returned... they're married"

I hid my shock as well as possible, my shock turned to rage, then despair. Edward and Alice were married; my best friend married my fiancée. 'Ex fiancée' I corrected myself. I felt a bit betrayed when I realised that it wasn't Jasper who had delivered this news.

"Are you okay?" Rosalie's voice broke the silence; her hand was on my shoulder. I hadn't realised that I'd started hyperventilating, then, everything went black.


I opened my eyes to see a large white room and five figures standing over me. My eyes finally focused and I was able to see properly. Jasper was standing closest to me; I flew into his arms straight away, clinging to him like a leech, ignoring the low chuckle that came from Emmett. I looked around at Emmett and hissed. Not a proper vampire hiss, but the kind that would come from an angry human when someone laughed at them. Everyone looked at me, stunned, except for Emmett who was now rolling on the ground in hysterics that shook the whole house. I turned back to Jasper, his shock melted and a wide grin appeared on his face.

"That's my girl" he congratulated me.

"Wow" a familiar voice said from the top of the stairs. "Jasper what have you done to her?"

Edward appeared by me. I wrapped my arms and legs around him even tighter, so tight that a normal person would have choked to death by now. But Jasper only pulled me closer.

"Okay, I seriously think you two are dating. I mean, Bella, just look at the way you're clinging onto him, I thought you only did that with me" Edward said

"Don't flatter yourself" I spat back at him.

He smiled my favourite crooked smile; usually that would have me weak at the knees by now, but this time it had no affect on my whatsoever. I was just too angry with him.

Edward realised that his smile had no affect on me and it vanished.

"I guess I'll see you at school" he said and he melted away.
