Love you guys! Now, lets just head into the chapter! Don't forget to check out my other stories!


Bella POV:

When we all wake up, we are in the living room. Jasper and I fell asleep on the couch, me on top of him. I wake up first and see that everyone else is asleep and I look on my phone and it is Monday at 4:30 am. I get up and head to get ready for the day. It supposed to be warm and sunny (they aren't sparkly vampires in this story, should've addressed this sooner) perfect weather. I take a nice long shower, treat myself nice since I have the extra time. When I get out, I put on my rob and head out to choose my clothes. I see that everyone else has gotten up and getting ready, it is about 5:15 now. I decide to wear my white Jack Rogers sandals with some nice dark wash skinny jeans. I pick out a nice flowy purple top. I put that on then put on my jewelry, which are my piercings. I have one hold in my ears then a cartilage piercing. I simple monogram necklace, and a ring that Jasper gave me when we were both human. Nice and simple today. My makeup is just concealer, a little bit of eyeshadow (nudes and a light pink), eyeliner, mascara, and blush. Since I like to be human more, I do have human consequences like under eyes. I look at the time and it is only 5:40. I decide to curl my hair and pin back a few strands to get it out of my face. I run into Jasper who is dressed in blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a black t-shirt.

"Well, don't you look handsome, my cowboy." I saw as I wrap my arms around his neck.

"well darlin' you look absolutely gorgeous." He smiles down at me. I quickly kiss him then just hug him. We just stay like this for a little bit. It's comfortable.

"babe, let's head downstairs, and get ready to leave."

"okay," I grab my bag and my purse and head downstairs. I prepacked a lunch, since we can be just a little bit human. When we get downstairs, I see that everyone is enjoying a nice breakfast.

"Hey Bella and Jasper" Everyone says

"Hey guys, enjoying a little bit human life?" I say as I laugh and I grab my lunch and water bottle out of the fridge.

"Yes Bella, thank you so much sweetheart." Esme says

"It's no problem Esme" I smile at her, she is like a mom to me.

I grab my stuff and Jasper grabs his. He gets my hand and we go to his truck after saying bye to everyone. We head off to school to begin the day. We park where all of the other Cullens park and just stay there talking.

"This weekend went by pretty fast." He says as he grabs my hand.

"Yeah it did" and I smile at him

"I am so happy you came back to me and now back into my life Isa, you are by far the greatest thing that has happened to me" If I could cry, I would be.

"awe Jasper, that is the sweetest thing you have ever said to me!" I lean over and kiss him, full of love.

"Is that the ring I gave you before I left?" He grabs my hand and looks at the ring. I look at him and nod and he seems thrilled.

"After all this time, you kept it with you?" He looks surprised, and he shouldn't.

"Jazz, I thought you were dead all these years, I held onto everything." I told him, as I looked straight into his eyes.

He looks at me with so much love, it warms my cold heart. We were just about to kiss when I hear a knock on the window of the truck that scares me half to death. I turn around to see that it is Alice, oh joy.

"Alice, you scared me half to death! I give her my best glare, but she ends up laughing so much.

"sorry Bella, but the bell is about to ring for class." Oh that is important.

"oh, okay." I lean over to Jasper and kiss him and grab my stuff. Before I know it, he is on the other side opening the door for me.

"Awe, what a gentlemen" I smile at him taking his hand getting out of the truck.

"You me Isa, I was born and raised this way." We hold hands till we get to my first period, we only have two classes together. He walks me to my first period when the bell for first rings, he walks me to the door and kisses me.

"Bye darlin', see you at lunch. I love you" With that he leaves to head off for his own day of classes.

I whisper under my breath so no human could hear me, "and I love you Jasper". I see him perk up, knowing well that he heard me. I walk into class before he can turn around with a huge smile on my face.

Everyone comes into class, one by one, and sits in their designated seats. I have a window seat, so I can soak up the sun all class period. I take out everything I need, and just mindlessly take notes for everything needed. My mind drifts to Jasper, my mate. I love him and I've been in love with him for over 250 years, I can't wait for so many more. I think of our human times, running through the meadow in Texas, and then my mind drifts to Charlotte and Peter. I haven't seen them for over 100 years. Surprise visit soon, it needs to happen.

The rest of the day till lunch passes by quickly. Lunch is here, I literally almost start running to the lunch room. I get to our table and in a matter of seconds, Jasper is right next to me. I automatically lean into him, and he kisses my head.

"I've missed you, its been a long day." I say, I feel calm when I'm around him. Not because he is an empath, because he is my mate.

Same here darlin'." With that, the other Cullens join us for lunch, and we start talking.

"Guys, since spring break is in two days, can we take a trip somewhere?" I ask

"Ooh, where Bella? Hopefully somewhere that there is a mall there!" Alice says. Edward just gives her look and smiles at he. He kisses her head.

"Alice, calm down dear. I think you have enough clothes right now. Maybe later." He says while laughing, then we all start laughing.

"I was wondering if we could... maybe... quite possibly.. go to... " I look up at Jasper when I say this.. "Texas."
