Chapter 3: Explanations.
*Jasper Pov*
I could instantly feel panic when Emmett asked her that.
After she calmed down we all went inside, something was different... but I couldn't place it.
We sat on the couch, she buried herself between us, I knew she was still afraid we would leave.
"Bella talk to us. What has happened since we left?" I asked.
She tensed, then she looked at a picture of her and Charlie, thats when it hit me.
His cruiser wasn't in the driveway.
I couldn't catch his scent anywhere.
"Bella? where is Charlie?" I asked, then she broke down. "he was killed. at work. some guy came into the station drunk, he was going crazy." I looked at Emmett and instantly sent calming waves to Bella.
After she calmed down a little she told us everything.
Charlie was killed barely a week after we left.
Renee stopped talking to her after they got into a fight.
The kids at school have been tormenting her relentlessly.
How has she survived this?
I swear I am going to rip Edward to pieces for making us leave.
"J-Jasper?" Bella looked at me with wide eyes. "dude chill" Emmett said, then I realized I was growling. "sorry" I said, Bella instantly relaxed.
Then she bolted up. "Whoa! Where are Rosalie and Alice? and Carlisle and Esme?" she asked, Emmett and I looked at each other. They would be getting back right about now and find us gone. "They don't know we are gone. They went hunting" I said. She nodded.
We talked for a while after that, until Bella started drifting.
She refused to leave our sides so we both sat next to her as she fell asleep.
Thats when the trouble started...
