SM still owns it all.

I had been here a week. Jasper and I hadn't been in the same room longer than 5 minutes the whole time. Char was becoming a fast friend though. Even Peter was starting to grow on me. You couldn't help but love him and his charm. Course when I say charm I really mean stupidity. He was always doing something to cause me and Char to laugh our asses off.

Peter was driving Char and I to Amarillo today so we could do some shopping. The town of Adrian was now off limits, being as I was the last one with Derek and he was found dead.

"Alrighty, Ladies we are now arriving at the Westgate Mall. Please remain seated and buckled until the all clear sign lights." Peter says pulling into a parking lot.

"I'm so excited, its been so long since I had another woman to go shopping with. How much money did Jasper say you could spend." Char says enthusastically.

"You know Jasper doesn't speak to me. Hehehe, but he did give me this card, and said to get whatever I needed. Wonder what the limit is and how close we can get to it?" I give Char my evil grin and laugh.

"Well, Sugar, I'd say that you would have to be here alot longer than a day, or hell I'd say we could buy every one of these stores if thats what you wanted to do, that card doesn't really have a limit per say. Now which store are you ladies going to first?" Peter informs me.

"Huh, so I can get anything and I won't run outta money?" The gleam in my eye is getting much brighter.

"Yeah, okay, you girls do whatever just call me when you want to meet back up cause there ain't no way in hell that Imma going to go from shop to shop watching you all change clothes all day."

"Huh, and here I thought you would enjoy our trip to Victoria Secret. We do after all have to try everything on ya know. Oh well, you ready to go Char?" I laugh, cause now Peter has a disappointed face on that you just can't help but to laugh at. Char said usually they just ordered everything off the internet to save them the trouble of waiting for a cloudy day to appear.

Char giggled pulling me into the mall. We went to Maurices, Wet Seal, Hot Topic, Hollister, Areopostale, Sunglasses Hut, American Eagle, and we also got our nails done. After getting our nails done, I introduced Char to the wonder that is the ipod store. She said she was enternally greatful. I was so glad they feed me before we got started. Char had called Peter a few times to get him to come and get our bags so we didn't have to carry them around. We also went to James Avery, Zales and Kays. After that Peter refused to leave us, saying we couldn't leave it in the car, and he didn't want any males trying anything. Even though Char could have easily taken care of me, Peter said we didn't need to have a scene. That was fine, we actually enjoyed his company.

When we had everything else we finally headed off to Victoria Secret for our final purchases. We got some pajamas, swimwear, and some bra's and panties to try on. Since they were so busy we got a large dressing room and shared it. As I was trying on some of the pjs we had gotten Char stood there looking forlorn.

"Whats wrong Char?"

"Just don't get scared when you see me, Sugar. I know you can't really see all my scars that well or anything, but I still feel self concious about them." She explained.

"Char, you are a beautiful person, and there is nothing that could make me like you any less. So what you got scars, everyone does. Maybe not as bad as you do, but it doesn't matter. You are a good person and thats all that matters to me. I don't know what I would have done without you these past few days I've beeb stuck here. Imagine me and Jasper alone for a week. One of us would have already met God if you weren't there to inetervene." I laughed out the last part.

"Thanks, Sugar! Ya know you really shouldn't let him get to you. He has a heart of gold. You all just got off to the wrong start was all. Just give him another a chance." She pleaded with her red puppy dog eyes.

"Fine just stop looking like that. I know that face works on Peter, but hell I'm human and you look more like a rabid dog than a poor little puppy." She swung a shirt at me.

"Ow, bitch, you caught my eye, now how am I gonna know what looks good?" I held my eye, shit that hurt.

"Mmmm. lets show everything to Peter, he would love to see you parade around in little of nothing. And it will get him all hot and bothered for me later." She grinned.

"Sounds good, but you gotta, keep him off me, not many can resist this body." I put my hands on my hips and stuck one side out. We both laughed and finished trying on our pjs. We didn't bother showing those to Peter he would see them soon enough.

I tried on a red corset top with a g-string panty and Char had on one similar only in black. We walked out into the hallway where Peter was sitting and I started doing a dance with music playing in my head and Char stepped in and we started dancing to gether.

"Damn, can I come in there and help you ladies. I'm sure those are hard to remove." Peter studdered out.

We both laughed at him and tried on several more sets for him. He approved of every single one. Though there was two out of the whole lot I just didn't care for. They just didn't have enough lift to make me happy. Peter seemed kind of upset that we both had things we didn't like. But he quickly got over it when Char told him she had one more she hadn't tried on for him to see, and that she would show it to him later. I had actually got the exact same one.

After we were done there, they took me to eat once again. Peter told me it was awfully irritating having to stop every few hours to feed me.

I took one look at Char and said, "Can I see your hand for a minute?"

I pulled her from her chair to stand in front of me, grabbed her elbow and pulled her arm back and swung it forward to smack Peter in the face with her hand.

He just sat there with a priceless look on his face, ".."

"Damn, I didn't know what you were going to do, but I never saw that coming!" Char laughed.

Peter finally woke up from his stupor, "Shit Char, you can't tell Jasper. If he finds out a human has managed to catch me off gaurd I will never live it down!"

I just laughed, "Damn are you saying I got something to hold over your head to get what I want there, Petey?"

"Don't call me that!"

"But, Petey, you'd hate for me to tell Jasper I kicked your ass and you just sat there wouldn't ya?" Char giggled at us and sat back down.

"Humph."

Damn this is gonna be so much fun. Who'd ever thought I could bitch slap a vampire! Oh, I am so glad me and Char have gotten to be such good friends. I think we could be best friends if we spend much more time together. Which we will till Jasper gets the stick outta his ass.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Damn man, you missed it. Sugar here had to ride in Chars lap the whole way home. Oh and help her out will ya, she has a ton of bags," and with that he picked Char up bridle style and ran somewhere outside. Few guesses where they were going.

I took what I had in my hands and started up the steps to what I had been calling my room. Japser came in a few minutes later packing some more of my bags. I told him not to worry about it. I'd get the rest in a few minutes. He just shook his head and went out of my room. I walked down the stairs behind him, following him back to the truck.

"You don't actually have to help, Japser. I can get them all."

"No worries, Isabella. If nothing else I am a gentleman when it comes to helping out. I'm afraid my mother would come out of her grave after me if I didn't behave as such." He said in a dead voice.

"Why do you insist on calling me Isabella? I've told you I am no longer that person. And I appreciate you helping me out." He didn't answer my question, just picked up his bags and went back to get some more to bring up.

We had just dropped the last bag in my room when he said, "I call you Isabella, because I refuse to call you by a whores name. You are worth more than that. You are a good person. And I won't stoop down and call you by a name that you don't deserve." And with that he left me alone once again.

I don't know how long I stood there with my mouth touching the ground, but eventually I started seperating Chars clothes from mine. I put her clothes in her room and returned to start hanging mine up. I opened the door to find a huge walk in closet, but it was completly filled. Shit, I had thought this was just an extra room. I hadn't actually spent much time in here besides sleeping. I turned and actually looked around the room to find that I was in fact in Jaspers room. How did I miss that? I mean I had been here for a week and hadn't noticed all the civil war decorations on the walls, and the other various things that were totally Jasper.

I had to sit down and think about all that had happened this afternoon. Sitting on the extremely fluffy bed I thought. And I thought. What Jasper had said earlier about my name was on some level completely true. And there weren't many men willing to start a war over some stripper. Of course, he probably thought he owed me something since he lunged at me on my birthday. That in itself was completly rediculous. I know that he is a vampire, and I knew the risks when I started my relationship with Edward. And how many men would give up their bed, without asking for something in return. I also thought of what Char had said earlier in the day. I was quickly breaking down, thinking I owed Jasper of all people an apoligy. "That Sucks" I said in a whisper under my breath.

I walked out of my bedroom to see Jasper from where I was standing from the top of the stairs. He was sitting on the sofa with his back to me. He threw his phone up against the other side of the room. And started muttering, "Damn it, why do i gotta deal with this shit! I can't just have it easy can I. No piss everyone off thats what I do. Well fuck it all to hell! I am not her keeper, and I am not worrying about this shit anymore!"

I sucked in a deep breath and steeled my self to going on down. I know he was talking about me. But I still owe him a thank you for buying my clothes and other things. So I walked on down the stairs and saw when he finally noticed I was there. Yeah fucker, I heard you. His back stiffened and he took a calming breath.

"Isabella." Jasper said in a defeated voice turning around to face me.

"Jasper, I just wanted to thank you for giving me your room. I hadn't realized, and also for the clothes and everything." I said in a solid voice.

"Its really no problem Isabella, if you need just push the clothes in the back or I can retrieve them if you wish."

"Jasper, why are you keeping me here. I know you dislike me as much as I do you. Why not just let me get on with my life. You know I'm not going to tell the secret, I just want to return to my life. Please, Jasper, please let me go home." I plead.

"No, you can't. Not until we know about the Volturi."

"I don't understand. Do you think the Volturi are worried about me? I am just one human, I am sure they have far better things to worry about."

"Humph," he let out a large gulp of air. "I had to sign a contract that you would live for one year, and promised to never change you. They will check up on you. We just have to bid our time till then. And hopefully I will be able to convince them that you are here for my whims and are treated as such. I'm sorry to say at some point your not going to be aloud to act as you do now. Because pets are never happy, they don't get to do as they wish, and they most certainly don't talk to their, Master, without them asking a direct question.

You Isabella defy me at every turn. What do you think they will do if they happen upon us with your actions the way they are now. Do you not understand the seriousness of your situation. Did you think there was no other buyer willing to pay for you? I can assure you that you are in a much more perilous situation than you think you are little darlin'."

"I..I...I didn't realize I had put you in such a bad postion. I'm sorry. You should have just left me there. Now you have put Char and Peter in danger! Fuck. Why didn't I see that. Damn Jasper, why would you do that. Why not just leave me there, I don't want any harm to come to Char, just cause of me." I started sobbing as I sat down on the sofa.

I can't believe I never put two and two together. Of course he wouldn't go out of his way just to keep me here. I'm sure he probably only saved me because of Edward anyways. I mean what other reason was there, now I've place all their lives on the line. Edward told me all about the Volturi. I swear if I ever get out of this mess, I am never having anything to do with anything that starts with the fucking letter V. Not even fucking Victoria's Secret, which was before now one of my favorite stores. I am swearing off the letter V today!

I am having a meltdown on the sofa, and can't seem to get it under control, I can feel Jasper trying to send me some calm, but I refuse to acknowledge it, it just rolls off of me. It isn't long till Jasper is sitting beside me sobbing.

"Shit, what the hell is going on?" Char asks.

"Get her outta here, Char. That should calm Jasper down." Char picked me up and headed out the door.

"Sugar, I dunno what happened, but you gotta calm down. Jasper almost had me and Peter sobbing he was circulating your emotions around so strongly.

"Hiccup, I am, sniff, trying to, hiccup, Char. Just give me a, hiccup, minute." I don't know how long we sat outside beside a lake I hadn't even known was here.

Finally, calming down i took deep swallows, "I'm sorry, Char, Jasper was just explaining to me what all was really going on, and I just didn't understand before. I mean I didn't see you had all stuck your necks out on the line for me."

"Oh, Sugar, we were more than happy to do it. Your important. You don't see yourself clearly. I know the mask you are hiding behind. And you might fool everyone. But you can't fool me. I use to live with a mask like that to. When I was human I had an awfully hard life.

I know alot of people in my day had hard parents, but I'm pretty sure mine were some of the worst. The reason I am so self-concious about my scars is because I have always had some. Even then my body was riddled with scars." she got a far away look in her eyes, like she was remembering some horror, I guess she probably was.

"Char?" We had been sitting here for some time now and she was still looking a bit shell shocked.

"Sorry, babe. Guess I drifted, huh" she said coming back to herself.

"Yeah, thats okay. You want to talk about it?" I asked.

"Nah." She paused. "Thats a story Jasper should probably be here for anyways."

"Char, is it true, the Volturi will be visiting to see if I am a 'pet'?" I couldn't help be cautious and make sure Jasper wasn't being dramatic.

"Yes. They will come, Isabella, sooner if they find Victoria has been killed."

"Damn. I guess I just didn't get how serious this all was." I wasn't going to cry again, but damn, that truly does suck.

"Okay, enough sulking about for us. Lets have a bit of fun. What you want to do?" Char was trying her best to get me in a more upbeat mood, she isn't use to me being depressed.

"Hmmm. How bout we make use of this big ole pond here. Its hot, and I'd love to go for a swim. I don't think I've done that since I lived with my mom in Arizona. Plus we need a reason to put those bathing suites to use!" I giggled.

Char grabbed me up and zoomed into the house. When we passed the boys she told them to put their damn swimming trunks on cause we were puting the big ol' pond to use. After she sat me down, she ran towards her room. I quickly put on my suit as fast as possible and run down the stairs to meet up with everyone.

"You ready milady?" Peter asked Char. She did a quick head nod and he picked her facing each other. She wrapped her arms and legs around him. "Hmm. Lets see how far we can make it without knocking something over." He started kissing her and walking out at the same time.

"Ummm. I hope one day somebody loves me that much." I whisper to myself.

"And someday someone will." Jasper said quietly. "You want a ride so we can catch up?"

I was considering all my options in my head, I didn't really want to catch a ride with him, but I didn't want to worry, Char.

"Its not a life changing question, darlin'. I'm sure Char and Peter can find something to do if you just want to walk. Its actually not that far." Jasper smirked.

"Okay then, lets walk. I haven't really had any excercise since being here and it'd do my body some good." I laughed.

"Oh, I don't think you gotta worry about that."

"Well its takes a while to get a body like this and I am use to lots of physical activity throughout the whole day. And I haven't even worked out here one time." I grieve over my lack of working out.

"You can always show Peter, Char and I what you got. I'm sure we wouldn't be bored after all. You know Peter and Char swing now and again they might hook up with ya." Jasper gives me a shit eating grin.

"Damn you made a funny. Hardy,har,har." I laugh at him. "Didn't think you had it in you big boy."

"Oh, I got alot in me, and just in case your curious, I'ma big boy too."

"You think you're on a roll don't cha? Hold this." I dug out my ipod and hit play. "Now let me put these in here, now watch." I stuck the ipod buds in his ears.

I heard it start, and Jasper cring to the volume, but figured he would get use to it in a moment. It was Def Lepords 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' . I knew the song by heart. My dad use to play it all the time. I started swaying my hips to the music.
