Jasper Point of View
I raced home from school, a plan forming in my head. Even if I knew that it was going to hurt my mother, I had to do it. I was leaving home, taking everything I own and leaving. Going to the apartment that my father used to own, for the times that he couldn't make it home and he wanted to spend some time with me while my mother went out for a while.
He bought it from a friend who was moving out of state, on another fireman job that he was transferred too. The complex was owned by my mother's brother, which made me going there all the simpler.
I focused once more, driving into the garage, and parking it roughly. My anger was already through the roof by the time I reached my room. The fingers itching to hit something, as I passed by pictures on the walls, I truly realized who that was. I ripped apart my room, stuffing cloths, personal effects, and anything that even gave a glimmer that I have lived there before. In all, just two large suitcases, and three boxes, all three fairly decent in size. Glancing at the time I moved even faster, taking the boxes to my truck, next to my motorcycle that I refused to leave behind.
Sighing, I went back inside, just to say goodbye to the one person who would understand, my mother.
I found her in the kitchen, preparing a snack for the guests she was sure to have later. I smiled unknowingly, and knocked on the wall I was leaning on.
She turned her eyes bright and a smile always on her face, she frowned when she saw me standing there. "Why aren't you at school Jasper are you not feeling well?"
"No, I'm fine, I did have a very bad fight with Edward," I moving closer, hugging her tightly. She froze in my arms; she knew what that meant, even if she didn't believe it herself.
"Are you leaving so soon Jasper," she asked, mostly to herself, not prepared for it. I nodded, resting my cheek on the top of her head, missing her already. Her form shook with tears that I felt on my shirt. "Do you have everything you need, money, clothes, food?"
I pulled away, looking into her eyes, "yes mom. Now remember, I love you."
She stifled a sob and crossed her arms, "Of course, I'll never forget that Jasper. Hey just give me a call if you need anything, promise me that," she nodded with herself, already trying to get used to the idea.
"I'll call you every day, and I'll visit too, just when they're not home. You'll know what happened later, but I got to get to the apartment before schools over. I'll call you when I settle down at the apartment, okay?"
"Yes, I'll come over tomorrow, just to help around. The place is probably a mess, with dust, dishes, old linens, the bathrooms probably all gross. I'll clean all of that-"
"Mom! You don't need too," I cut her off, laughing at her antics.
"But I want too," she pouted, glaring playfully at me. "Now don't forget me," she ticked her finger at me, like she used when I got in trouble when I was little.
"I'll never forget you mom," I reminded her, and I turned and went to leave. Deciding against it, I turned "I love you mom." She rushed at me again and hugged me and kissed my cheek.
"I love you more."
"I know," I chuckled, kissing her forehead. "See you later."
She nodded and pulled away, following me to the door and watched me get in my truck.
She waved and I waved back, already turned and driving down the gravel road. I fought the urge to cry and focused on what my plan was. I knew that leaving would be good, but he would think he won, and then he would realize the advantage of not knowing my next move. I could do anything without him knowing.
Chuckling, I pulled into the parking lot of the apartments, seeing my uncle's car next to mine.
Bella Point of View
I had given up after the movie and told Lucy everything. I felt as if she were my sister already. She told me how her dad was always traveling for his own business and her mom just wanted to settle down. So they came to the compromise of staying in Washington. The headaches she had died down and the dry air from other placed burned her nose to breathe, and caused bad 2nd degree burns on Lucy's pale skin.
This place was perfect. Her dad could always know that they were safe and he knew that he could come home, not a hotel room.
I trusted her, I was comfortable with her. I was happy; she let me cry and soothed me. She made me laugh and forget what I was crying about, then let me cry again.
I told her that she could try going to school, I would help her and she was friendly. She had pretty features and a kind heart; she would make a lot of friends. She smiled and said she would talk to her mom.
Not ready to part from her yet, I asked her to go to my house. To just hang out and work on homework, but that never really happens.
I was so surprised with how I took on to Lucy. She was practically my sister; I think we got separated at birth. No that's impossible.
We pulled up to my drive way, confused by the car behind my dad's police cruiser. "Oo, who's that," Lucy asked, but I wasn't certain myself.
I got out of my truck, and with Lucy behind me I unlocked my front door. The first sound I heard was of laughing, my own father guffaws was what surprised me the most.
As I turned the corner to the living room, I was terrified of who was there and I didn't even know who it was. He sounded young, and humorous.
Then I met face to face with Edward Cullen. Literally, I ran into his shoulder, not the most comfortable of all places. I recoiled almost immediately, Lucy had told me of what she knew between Jasper and him. Lucy grabbed my shoulder, barring me from completely running into her.
Charlie was by the television and Edward right in front of him, meaning he was in the way of the entry to the living room. Scowling, I composed my stature and tried to smile.
"Why hello Edward, funny bumping into you again, in my own home," I managed, for Charlie's sake.
"Why yes it is," he responded coolly, making me want to punch him in the face, hard.
I snapped my mouth shut, pressing my teeth together tightly. His face was smug, as if he had won. "Bella, Edward has just asked me, to take you on a date. I agreed."
Then I almost wanted to punch my own father in the face. I gave a glimmer of a smile, which lasted 2 seconds. "Dad, this is Lucy, Lucy my dad."
I pulled her arm then, dragging her to my room. Without letting anyone say anything else. The anger that took over my body was almost enough to make me black out. Instead, I cried, the door closed.
I slide down the door, my hand over my mouth keeping the sobs from escaping as the hot tears ran down my cheeks. This time Lucy watched, from my desk chair, far from me. They shook my body; pain shot up and down, my head to my toes, and back.
That was so unfair, now I had to go with him because of my dad. Jasper would find out and realize that I'm worth nothing.
Nothing was going as I planned, the date on Friday that I was elated to go on, my own father turning on me, and Jasper. He was too perfect, too perfect for me.
I already had strong feelings, and we didn't even get to the first date before it cam crumbling down.
Sorry, but I had to leave it there. It's only getting good…
Don't get discouraged yet!
Jasper has not given up!
Love/ Princess G.F
