Short. Nothing compared to what you, my faithful readers, deserve. However at the end of the chapter I had some sad news for you all. For now, enjoy.

Bella's POV

We got into the car early in the morning so we could be back to Forks A.S.A.P. While I personally tried to tell Jasper that it would be okay to stay just a few more days. Jasper decided it would be best if we left now. Peter, Charlotte and Sabrina had decided to come with us; Peter said he just wanted to be able to spend some more time with me even if that meant sharing. Jasper said that we would visit but Peter being Peter wanted to come anyway. I had a feeling that there was another reason Peter wanted to come along but Peter wasn't about to say more than "I just want to get to know Bella better." Charlotte only agreed to go because she didn't want to be without Peter; Sabrina agreed to go because she just didn't want to be left alone.

I was excited they were coming because I was hoping to become better friends with all of them someday and maybe today I would learn some more thing. . .and because there is safety in numbers. Who knew what awaited us in Forks. I was starting to stress out when luckily Peter drew me out with his random blathering.

"On the road again, I just can't wait to be. . . " Peter started singing when he suddenly stopped and said "Hey Bella, we are on the way to your hometown of Forks and you know about 99.6 percent of the worlds population would have no idea where Forks was and about .1 percent would ask if there was a matching town called Spoons. So what I want to know is, is there a Spoons? Or Knife? Or maybe Cups?" Peter pondered as we pulled away from the hotel.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "No Peter, there is no Spoons… is there? I'm pretty sure… then again I had no idea that there was a town called Forks. Maybe we should head to the nearest library and do some research." I said my brow furrowing. Jasper just squeezed my hand a little and sent me some calming vibes. He knew I was hesitant about heading home and he silently let me know it.

"God, Peter, sometimes you're such an idiot," Sabrina said playfully slapping him. The three of them were in the backseat. I rolled my eyes yet again and turned back around in my seat so I was facing the road. I looked over to Jasper just in time to see him look at me. It's amazing how my life has a sort of storybook type quality. (A/N: Oh No She's Onto Us! Everybody abandon your computers of all sorts and run for it!)

I sighed and smiled at him. I really do love him and I'll be thinking the same thing for the rest of my life… I started reflecting on how we got to this place. I was in love with Edward or so I thought. I now realize that I was just infatuated with him. He is a great looking guy and he was in love with me, plain Jane Bella. Who wouldn't think they were in love? I was ready to give away my life to be with Edward when Jasper kidnapped me. He has never told me his real reason for taking me but I'm glad he did. I am who I was meant to be and its all thanks to the man beside me.

"So, Bella, why did you end up in Forks anyway?" Sabrina asked when she noticed the strange silence.

"I was born there. My mom and dad divorced when I was still a baby. My mom took me to live in Phoenix but my dad lives there. My mom got remarried so I moved in with Charlie," I explained going into detail all about Phil and his career and such. When she brought up the question of how I knew Jasper I got a little worried but explained the situation to them anyway. About Edward and James and such and how I never really knew Jasper until a little while ago, because Edward was so paranoid. Okay so paranoid was a little, (I'm talking microscopic here!) bit of a stretch because he was an overprotective, egotistical ass.

Sabrina, Peter and Charlotte listened as I talked and asked a few questions here and there. Jasper also added in some stuff too. When I finished I waited for them to say something. At first, it was just silence as they took it all in. I looked to Jasper who gave me an encouraging look, probably trying to tell me that they were confused.

"Oh. Okay… well…..hum…..that's strange," Peter finally said more to himself than to anyone else. I listened for more but Peter didn't say anything else. I waited for a few more seconds before turning back to face the road again. I felt Jasper's cool fingers thread through mine and I looked over at him and smiled before holding his hand back.

Talking about home and my dad made me finally wonder what Charlie's reaction to all this would be... and I mean all this: Jasper and me, and Jasper kidnapping me etc. I mean how many kidnapped women end up falling in love with their kidnappers outside of stories and fan fictions? Not many. I sighed and looked back at the others.

'What has you so frowns, then sigh, frown, then sigh every few seconds Bells?" Peter asked earring a warning look from Charlotte.

"It's okay Charlotte," I said with a sigh (as if to prove what Peter was talking about), "I'm just worried about what my dad will think." Jasper's fingers slightly tightened around my hand but loosened almost instantly.

"Well I'm sure he'll see it your way," Sabrina said reassuringly. I nodded and looked over to Jasper. One of my favorite things about him was his face. How everything had a place, a perfect spot, and everything was in its place.

I thought Edward was a god. Now I know that he is more of a demi-god, kinda a half or lower god… which, of course, made Jasper, Zeus, the top god. That thought made me feel even safer around Jasper then I had already felt around him, and that was just about impossible considering how much I loved him. I smiled slightly and looked at the road.

The car in front of us was blue and was big enough for a large family, my new family. Well okay my new family was not currently in there but I was thinking that the blue car in front of us could fit us in it. By us, I meant the Cullens and Peter and Charlotte and Sabrina and me. Basically, the place my mind was wondering to was that I don't want this family to be broken up because of the new relationship that Jasper and I formed. That is the last thing I want. Even though I was reluctant to go home, I knew the only way I could know what they were going to think was to get home and see. Sure, I wanted to get home to Charlie and my friends but I also didn't want to have to worry about what people would think. I wanted people to approve but then of course I was so in love with my dear Jasper that I didn't care what they thought (well okay maybe a little bit) unless it was good things. Well now, just a few more hours to go and then we'll see what the Cullens think about all this.

The Cullen's house seemed bigger then I remembered. A whole lot bigger! I briefly considered crawling into Jasper's lap and getting us the hell out of there! Jasper grasped my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze and a smile to go with it. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply; I was regretting this… or at least not looking forward to it. I was seriously getting used to the idea of putting this car back in drive by the second.

The sound of my door opening startled me and I looked over. At some point during my whirlwind of emotions, Jasper had gotten out of the car and opened my door. I blinked twice just to make sure he was really there. Oh right, vampire speed… weird… I'll have to get used to it though I guess.

I sighed and pulled myself out of the car. Charlotte, Peter and Sabrina all got out of the car as soon as I had one foot out the door. Peter looked around and frowned, Sabrina rolled her eyes, and Charlotte scoffed. They weren't used to the idea of such a permanent home.

I took a deep breath and rested one of my hands on Jasper's shoulder. Here goes nothing.

I took one step forward and then another. It took me a minute to notice that everyone was moving with me, they wouldn't move unless I moved first. And now I was really considering just turning back and running while we still could. Who knows what awaits us... probably joy for me and then hate for Jasper. I just didn't like that thought.

Peter shot me a look and I sighed and took another step forward. It was really somewhat funny to see them all move in synchronization with me. If I were to start break dancing to Circus by Brittany Spears I wonder if they would do the same…. I don't know.

Okay Bella, you can do this, just stop thinking about Brittany Spears and move forward. I thought to myself as I took two more steps. Damn it Bella, move!

I looked up and walked five more steps before stopping again… things were quiet, a little to quiet. Sabrina coughed to get my attention and when I looked forward she pointed at the house and did the little person-walking symbol with her hand.

If this weren't such a serious situation, I'd have started to laugh.

Maybe Edwards already read everybody's thoughts and he was so upset they all left, I partially hoped.

But then again the Volvo is still here… and why the fuck doses Edward drive a Volvo when they got enough money to buy a fucking Bugatti? Back to the situation at hand Bella! I screamed internally.

I had to keep moving before I fainted or something. This is all just so nerve wracking! I've changed so much since they last saw me; I've become a completely new woman… one who was sleeping with Jasper at that.

And it was damn good… Bella! Focus!

I just needed to keep moving, just keep moving. Just keep moving. Just keep moving. Just keep moving, moving, moving. What do we do we move, move, move. OH HO, HO How I love to move. When you WAAAAAANNTTT to move you want to move. Ah! Damn you Disney Channel! Damn you all to hell!

Peter sighed and took another step forward, one step ahead of me, "Let's just get this over with."

I nodded and we all walked up the driveway. Jasper stopped breathing. Lucky.

As we got closer, I was really starting to consider just turning back. We could run away and never come back... no one would miss us. Well, no one important would miss us. As long as we were happy. Shit! Why couldn't I have moved here for college instead?

Oh, this sucked.

I continued to move forward, my steps were unsure and a little slow. However, no one moved any faster then me, and I could tell from the look on Charlotte's face she really wasn't looking forward to this. She had told me that she had met the Cullens once before... and it sucked. She said they all seemed so uptight and she could beat just about all of them in a one on one fight.

I didn't doubt her.

Charlotte may be Alice sized and blonde... but she could kick your ass.

We walked into the house and as soon as we were through the door I saw the faces of all the Cullens... they just stood there, looking back at us. I shivered and took a slow step forward so everyone else could file in. As soon as we had the door shut, I opened my mouth to say something but then closed it again.

Alice launched herself at me and pulled me into a tight hug, for a brief second I wondered if she forgot I needed to breathe.

"Oh Bella! I've missed you so much! Are you okay?" Alice asked in a rush, she shot a glare at Jasper, Sabrina, Peter and Charlotte over my shoulder, which made me want to punch her in the face. I'd probably shatter the bones in my hands and arm, however, it would help get my point across.

"I'm fine," I said. She looked me over and I really, really wanted to hit her. She was so obviously checking me for bruises and bites. There's one on my hand Alice! Check there! Maybe if you'd told me that James didn't actually have my mother I wouldn't have it. Can see the future my ass…

I glanced around the room and our eyes locked. No one said a thing. Some expected me to move to him and others thought he would move to me… well probably. Nevertheless, neither of us moved. Nobody was moving. Not even me, the human, who always seemed to be doing some sort of movement. No, I was as still as… well… a vampire.

I blinked once.

Then twice.

Three times.

Four.

Still nobody had said anything and I was positive I was the only one blinking.

Five.

Six.

The silence was really starting to get to me.

Seven.

Eight.

Our eyes were still locked and I couldn't move.

Nine.

Ten.

My voice was a tiny whisper though I knew everyone would hear me. I said, "Edward."

I had decided to end this story. My beta might continue it but if she doesn't want to then it will be on the market for anyone. She gets first dibbs though. I'm so, so, so sorry. Thank you for waiting though. Either she'll pick this up or she can start a sequel... I'm not sure. But goodbye and thank you for reading. I'll let you know what happens next. (In terms of where to go if you want more) If you have it in you review. If you don't... goodbye anyway. And thank you.
