Chapter Three: A Hint Of A Smile

Bella's P.O.V

I walked through the halls numb as usual. I stared at the ground ahead of me. I felt their eyes on me but I just kept walking. It was lunch time. I was halfway through the day. Only a few more hours and I could go back to sleep. Just curl up in my bed and fall into darkness. I walked into the lunchroom and all the talking fell into hushed silence. I kept starring down as I felt my cheeks get hotter as I felt their eyes on me.

I sat down at the end of the usual table ignoring the looks from Jessica, Mike and them. I ducked my head so my hair hid my face and started eating. Out of habit I glanced over at the Cullen's usual table. But I knew no one would be there. That I would forever be lost in this sea of looks and whispers. To be alone. But wait…

I stared at the table. It wasn't empty. On the contrary a blonde haired boy sat at the table starring at a tray of untouched food. As if he felt my eyes were on him he turned towards me. The golden eyes bore into mine. Jasper.

I stood up quickly and almost sprinted to the table. He smiled at me and stood up next to me.

"Hello Bella." Tears filled my eyes and I threw my arms around him. I felt his body stiffen in surprise.

"Jasper," I sobbed. "You came back! Where's Alice? Where's everyone else?" Jasper stepped back and looked at me. His hands were on my arms. I was vaguely aware that everyone was starring and tears streaked my face. He reached up and brushed a few tears away.

"Bella," he said in a sort of constricted voice. "Let's go somewhere else and talk." I nodded and let him lead me out of the cafeteria.

Jasper's P.O.V

I kept looking at Bella. By seeing me she thought everyone else was coming back to. Looking into those big lost brown eyes I found a spark of hope. I felt horrible that I was about to take that spark of hope away. After we got outside I turned toward her and took a deep breath. She hugged me again and I held my breath against her scent.

"Jasper I can't believe your back! I thought I wouldn't see any of you guys again." She sobbed into my shoulder. I felt even guiltier and I sent calming waves towards her. She stopped crying. "Thanks." I nodded

"Listen Bella," I said hesitantly. Why did I have to crush her one last hope? "The others aren't coming back. It's just me." She stared at me blankly for a few minutes than slowly realization struck her.

"Just you…Meaning no one else is coming." I shook my head. Her face instantly fell and she was back to being dead Bella. I searched my mind for things to say to give her back that spark of hope. But she spoke before I had a chance to. "Why are you here?" her voice was empty, devoid of any emotion. Crap, what should I tell her? Just then my phone vibrated. I opened it up to see a text message from Alice.

Tell her the truth.

I sighed and flipped my phone closed and Bella looked at me curiously. At least she was showing something.

"Alice?" I nodded. Bella just stared at me waiting for me to explain.

"Alice was the one who sent me. She had a vision and was really worried about you. And I don't know why she sent me nor do I know what was in the vision. I'm sorry Bella but Edwards not coming back. At least not yet." She looked down at the ground and I saw the tears falling. "Oh Bella…..What has he done to you?" Her head whipped up and she looked at me with a lost and hurt look.

"He didn't do anything! It's all my fault! If I wouldn't have cut my finger, if I wasn't as a stupid fragile human with irritable blood none of this would have happened!" She sobbed and fell to her knee's crying. I knelt down and rapped my arms around her pulling her close to me.

"That's not true darlin'. That's not true at all." She shook her head. "Bella honey look at me." She kept crying her head down in her hands. I sent more calming waves to her. "Look at me darlin'." She slowly raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes were red rimmed and the circles under her eyes were more dominant. Her pale skin was slightly flushed and her lips looked chapped and bitten. I put my hand on her cheek brushing the tears away.

"Bella you being human is what makes us love you. It's because you're clumsy and selfless that we love you. It's because you're fragile physically that you are strong mentally." Her eyes widened and then slowly dimmed. She looked back down. I was confused why I felt her sadness increase.

"Then why did he leave?" she said in a barley audible whisper. Anger consumed me. That stupid selfish bastard. The little self-confidence that Bella had had was thrown away, diminished.

"Because he's a selfish idiot Bella. He thought he was protection you but he was really protecting himself. If he thought that this was better for you than he doesn't deserver you Bella." I wrapped my arms around her. It was strange that I didn't feel the need anymore. I could feel her blood pulsing under her skin but yet I don't feel the draw of her blood. Unknowingly a smile spread across my face. Alice was right. I wouldn't hurt Bella.

As if Bella knew what I was thinking she pulled back and looked at me her head tilted a little to the left. She had that openly curious look on her face.

"You didn't try to bite me." I shook my head smiling even bigger.

'You're not as much of a drug as I thought you were Bella!" I saw a hint of a smile on that haunted face of hers. With that hint of a smile I felt hope that she still had some life left in her. I slung my arm on her shoulders.

"C'mon Bella your going to be late to class." She nodded and we walked back into the school.

My phone vibrated in my pocket and I reached in and pulled it out.

Told you so.

I smiled. That tricky little Pixie.
