Ch 8
JPOV
They've been gone for a long while now and while I trusted those women it made me nervous to have Bella out there. I was sitting in a tree on the edge of our yard trying to make some sense out of this whole fucking situation. There were too many variables and only a few facts.
Fact one: I could only get glimpses of Bella's emotions. When they were strong they were there but only really softly, almost tickling me with how subtle they were. It drove me crazy not to know what was going on in her heart. Hell I didn't know what was going on in mine.
Fact two: Edward and Alice were not so freaking subtle. Eddie boy was pumping out want towards Bella like an oil rig gone crazy and I didn't like it one damn bit. I guess Alice didn't like me disliking his intentions towards Bella because she's been doing her best to let me know that the door is still wide open for me when it comes to her. That shit was just not gonna happen.
I couldn't help but make comparisons between Alice and Bella which wasn't fair to either of them I suppose. Alice was all over the damn place popping up like a creepy clown in every conversation. Bella was more reserved and only spoke when something needed to be said. She was feisty too. The way she went off at Carlisle in the woods, well let me just say my thoughts were less then gentlemanly when she let loose with her fiery temper.
But fuck me sideways and call me Susan she was beautiful. The change didn't do much, but there was already perfection there before the venom. Her long dark hair swept past her body like a river and constantly made me think of her soaking wet. Her big brown eyes were crimson now but still held an innocence, a sadness, and a fire all at once. Those lips of her drove me fucking crazy too, a dark rosy bow that swelled out of her perfect face just begging to be kissed.
"I don't think you should be thinking of her that way Jasper."
I spun around to see Edward walking towards me with his hands balled into fists. Damn him and his mind reading bull shit.
"Oh yeah? And that lust I felt from you earlier was for what Eddie? We don't have a piano here for you to stick your dick into."
He stopped five feet away from me seemingly debating whether to take on a fighting stance. I wish he fucking would. Give me an excuse to set his little pussy ass straight. "She's meant to be with me."
If I had blood in my veins it'd be boiling at this little boy's words. As it is though I don't so instead the venom pooled in my mouth. Every muscle in my body tightened ready to spring before I heard someone approaching. My body stilled testing out the different threats around me.
Peter walked right in between us. He stood taller then normal and had removed his shirt to display his scars trying to declare dominance of the situation. Whatever he was here for he meant business.
"Well hi there boys. I was sitting up in a tree and couldn't help but hear what sounded like two douche bags fighting over my daughter. My newborn daughter that has a helluva lot to adjust to. Jasper I'm telling you this because I love and respect you like a brother. Edward, well I don't wanna make your mama cry. You boys should be thanking your lucky stars that it was me that heard this bullshit and not Char, because neither of you would escape with your peckers attached."
Edward and I both straightened up knowing he was right, about Bella's newborn status and about Char conducting medical experiments on our manhoods.
"That's better. Now I can see that this might pose a problem so let me say right now that ya'll need to tone it down. There will be no mention of one of you two fuckers trying to mate with my baby girl till I say she's good and damn ready. You two wanna kill each other go right on ahead, but do it away from the house. Burning vamp smells like shit."
With that he calmly strolled away, back into the woods. I turned back toward Edward who had a smirk on his face that I wanted to throw a big ass boulder at.
"Now now Jazzy, you heard what the man said. We must be patient. I'm good at being patient. I've saved myself all of these years until I found the right one. You can't say that can you? Wasn't too long ago you were still diddling my sister. Nor can you deny what a monster you are. Do you think Bella will be able to look passed it? Past the years of you being nothing more then a murdering beast? It's written all over your rotten body with those grotesque scars. How could you even consider polluting her purity with your sullied self?"
He spoke at me with disgust, pushing it towards me. But I was already filled with it for myself and so it consumed me, saturated every pore of my rotten being. I slumped to the ground holding my guts, knowing that he was right. She was too damn good for a monster like me. The pain that knowledge brought me was indescribible. I'd rather suffer the burn of changing every day of my life then feel this.
As I drowned in my guilty pain I heard footsteps approach and looked up to see the women come through the trees. They all shared a look of concern at what had to be a confusing sight. Bella pushed passed them taking in the scene with wild eyes. Alice came to my side immediately.
"Jazzy? Oh Jazzy what is it?" Her tiny hand flittered over me looking for visible damage, but I looked passed her annoying frame to see Bella approach Edward.
"Edward what happened?" Her voice was shaky but held a piercing accusation.
He looked at her inncocently. "Nothing love, we just had a little disagreement and Jasper was never good at losing."
Her eyes looked back to me, then to Alice at my side. A look of something colored her features before I felt a small sigh of resignation flow from her. She looked down at the ground hiding her face but Edward put his finger under her chin to raise her eyes to his.
"Let's go inside Bella, and leave the couple to each other."
He was giving her a warm smile but I felt the victory coming from him in waves. She smiled back at him and my heart broke watching it but hope seeped in when she pulled away from him and walked over to Char.
"Actually I have a few more questions for Charlotte. Could we go somewhere and talk in private, mom?" She stuttered out the endearment and my guilt was washed away by the pride Char was feeling. I started to push myself up, hoping to get a word in, but mama bear beat me to it.
"Of Course we can sug. I know just the place." And off they ran together into the woods, leaving me with some very confused Cullens.
