The next morning I wanted to walk around the house, get some fresh air; so around six in the morning I changed into some warm clothing and left. I walked the path to the bunker and back. The walk to the bunker is about twenty minutes at a normal pace. I was feeling sluggish and my walk took around forty minutes.
I was thinking about all that has happened to me in the past so many months. I watched my best friend die. I was almost killed…several times. I meet Jasper and Edward. I fell in love.
I approached the corner before the trees and the house property meet. I noticed everyone around the house yelling at each other and looking for something. They seemed exasperated and at a loss.
"Hey guys what's wrong" I said stepping out of the trees. All five heads whipped to the sound of my voice. Angry faces formed on three of them. Edward, Boris, and Mark were pissed off. Tyler and Jasper looked relieved.
"Where the hell were you?" Edward yelled at me.
My mouth fell open in shock, he really never go this mad before. "I-I"
"Well princess?" Boris asked crossing his arms.
That stunk. I wanted to cry but I was so mad. I turned around and started walking back to the bunker.
"Bella!" Edward, Mark, Tyler, and Boris yelled. I ignored them. I continued to walk off. Screw them.
Jasper ran up beside me and walked at my pace.
"You know Edward was just scared right, I was too." Jasper said looking at the ground. He seemed shy.
I huffed and kept walking.
"Bella, understand that our only reason to be here is to keep you safe. When Mark set off the fire alarm this morning and you didn't come running we went up and checked on you. We all panicked, you weren't anywhere." He took and a deep breath and continued "Not to make this about work but how would it look when we call the office and tell them five of the best agents couldn't keep one girl safe, we lost her."
I looked up into his sad, old eyes. I felt childish and horrible for how I acted now.
"I'm sorry Jasper" I mumbled thought the tears. Jasper stopped in his tracks and pulled me to him. I curled in him and sobbed, overwhelmed.
What is wrong with me?
"Don't cry. I hate to admit this but you are special. I see you as a part of this family Edward and I have."
He was so sincere. The honesty in his eyes made me feel safe and warm.
"Thank you Jasper. I love you too" I said.
We walked back to the house after our heart to heart. When we arrived back at the house no one was in sight. I walked up and in the door. Jasper flopped on the couch as I went to my room and changed out of the clothing I had on into pajamas. I headed down to the kitchen and found Edward and Tyler talking with Mark. They all stopped as I came in.
"Talking about me?" I asked as I went to the frigged. I didn't give time to answer as I left and went to my room for the day. I was bored but the hell if I was going out there and facing them. At dinner Jasper brought me a plate when I didn't come down.
Around two in the morning Edward came in my room. He crawled in bed and shook me awake.
"What?" I asked. His arms curled around me, holding me tight.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you. I was so scared…I thought someone got to you right under my nose" his arms somehow got tighter to the point where I could hardly breathe. I kissed him softly and apologized too. We made up and fell back asleep around four.
"Edward, get your ass up now" Jasper hissed pulling him out of bed. I was shaken awake by them tussling the bed and covers.
"What's going on?"
"Boris is having a mandatory meeting before he goes." Jasper said yanking him away from me.
"Me too?" I asked softly. Jasper looked at me and frowned.
"No"
After an hour and a half Mark and Tyler came up to say goodbye. Boris wished me luck as he left. He had this small glint in his eyes. I couldn't make it out but it unnerved me. Boris was always my least favorite house guest but he never made me feel like this. I feel like he is irritated by me.
The week was up. They were leaving and Edward and I could finally be us again. I was so happy. The second the car was gone I hugged Edward hard and didn't let him go all day.
I know it's short and late but Review. I promise the next chapter is worth it.
