I know a lot of you are wondering why I'm here. Here in Forks, that is. Why didn't I go find Char and Peter? I can't face them either. Peter calls me often and tells me he understands which I know he means it, but I don't know. He knows my secret. Hell, he's the one that told me. Yep, Peter knows things. Don't ask me how, because I have no idea. It's just one of his gifts. He drives me crazy with his gift though. Always calling and leaving me cryptic messages and I never have any clue what in the world he is talking about. I trust him, though. I trust him with my life. He's the reason that I'm here in Forks. Called me up about six weeks after we left Forks, told me to get my big ol' butt back here.

Flashback

"Jasper, I love you. You know I always will, but right now. I just can't be around you. It just hurts too much." Alice paused and slowly raised her eyes to look at me. "I just can't forgive you for trying to take Bella from us. If Edward hadn't read your mind and reacted as fast as he did..."

"I would have killed her." Alice, still looking at me, begging me with her eyes to understand what she was trying to say.

"Jasper," She said calmly "I just don't see you in the same way anymore." I felt my non-existing heart stop. She couldn't really mean it. "Jasper, I really mean it." I'm an idiot. She meant it. "I think maybe you should think about calling up Peter, stay with him and Char for a while?" I knew in my heart that she was right, but I didn't want to leave the Cullens, I needed them. I needed their love, support...forgiveness. Although I could never ask, because I don't think they would mean it. At least not right now and them giving me forgiveness without meaning it...would be worse.

"Okay Alice, I'll call Peter." She smiled grimly at me, slowly nodded her head and walked away. I waited until I heard our bedroom door shut before I pulled my cell phone from my pocket. I dialed Peter's number and listened for him to pick up.

"Pet-" Before I could even finish his name, he interrupted me.

"Go Back to Forks." I had to of misunderstood him

"Forks? Why would I go back there? You know why we left, Peter."

"Stop questioning me, Major. Not get off your phone and pack a bag and get your big ol' butt back to Forks." With that, he hung up on me.

*End flashback*

So here I am back at the crime scene. With my victim not even 20 feet from me. I really need to hunt; Bella's blood is smelling better by the minute. I couldn't imagine what it would be like if she were MY singer. She already smells amazing as it is. Well, I should get myself up and go for a hunt. It's Saturday, Bella never leaves the house on Saturdays, and so I know she'll be here when I get back. I look back up at her window and send a few more calming waves at her. Then I take off.

I love running. One of the perks of being a vampire is that running...it's like flying. Our senses keep us from running into tree or tripping over logs. When you stop and look around seeing all the branches, trees and moss covered logs and you are just like 'How did I not run into you?' I swear we're flying.

I wait here for a minute and listen to the sounds around me. I can hear birds singing their morning songs and a creek flowing about 5 miles away. This is my favorite time of day. It's so peaceful, well at least until I start a hunt. I hear it. A heartbeat. A grizzle, that'll do. He sounds real pissed too. I take off running and I see that my new meal is distracted by something in the water. He will be an easy target. I take him down in one swift move and break his neck. He doesn't need to suffer any more than he has to. I quickly bite into his neck and devour his blood. Yes, I waited almost too long to hunt. A grizzle should satisfy me, but I'm still hungry. I hear a doe and her little ones, I spare them. I just can't kill them. They're too sweet and too innocent. I know y'all probably think I'm weird for saying that. I can have a soft side too, ya know. A buck isn't too far away. I will take him down.

After I've had my fill all I want to do is to get back to Bella, but I stink. So, I head back to the Cullen house. We left so quickly after the accident that most of our belongings are still there. The girls were more than okay with. It meant they got to go shopping again. Oh man did they shop. I have never seen so many bags when they got back from their shopping trip. Women, I just don't get what the fuss is all about. They spend money on an outfit and wear it once and never even look at it again. Me, I just want a couple pairs of pants and a few white t-shirts and a good pair of boots. I don't want to be here in the house for too long, so I head up to my and Alice's old room and quickly shower and change into clean cloths and my favorite pair of cowboy boots. I've been thinking about it a lot today and I've decided that I need to talk to Bella. Today. I've been here long enough now and it is about time I go and talk to her. I head back to Bella's; she should be awake by now.

When her house came into view, something was off. I skidded to a stop and looked. Her truck was gone. Now, I know it has to be Saturday, because yesterday was Friday, Friday is always exam day. Bella is always more stressed on Fridays, but where did she go? She never goes out on the weekends. I know, I have to find her, but I have no idea where to begin. So, I start heading in towards town. My phone rings. Peter.

"Hello?"

"Oh don't you 'hello' me like you don't know who's calling!" I have to chuckle at that. I love Peter; he really is like my brother. Him and Char, they're good people.

"Hello Peter! How's are you and Char?"

"Now, that is better. We're good, brother. We miss you."

"I miss you guys too. Now why are you calling me, Peter?"

I hear him chuckle "You're going the wrong way."

"What?"

"I don't know what you're doing, but I know whatever it is, that you aren't going the right way."

"Thanks Peter. That's helpful."

"My pleasure, Major!" I can picture him bowing as he says this. Oh Peter, what a character.

"Bye Peter. Give Char my love!"

"Oh I will give her more than that!" I hang up. I do not need to hear about THAT.

I didn't realize that while I was talking with him that I had started walking towards the high school. I thought I would look there, but I guess I'll turn around. I take off running, hoping that I will find her relatively fast. I did. And I didn't like what I saw. I caught up with her right as her truck crossed the treaty line. She's going to La Push. I want to panic, because I just do not trust those wolf boys. They're dangerous, more so than the "cold ones". At least, we can calm ourselves, well usually. I realized that I'm standing in the street. If Bella looked in her rearview mirror, she would see me. I duck into the trees. I really hope she didn't see me. Her truck keeps going and disappears out of my sight. This isn't good. I can't protect her over there. I have no idea what's going on. I feel that panic starting to rise again. I think about crossing the line, but I can't. Those wolves are stupid and wouldn't even give me a chance to explain myself before they ripped me apart. All I can do now is wait and pray that Bella is okay and will come home soon.
