Anyway on to the story.

Chapter 11

It was the next weekend when Jasper decided my training would start. He told me that he would never leave me unprotected. He told me that with my abilities I could fight, kill and survive vampire's. He told me he'd train me to become my own protector.

It was Saturday afternoon when we started, he told me to wear something comfortable that I could move in easily, so I wore a tank top and joggers. We stood in Jasper's huge back yard, him on one side me on the other and it was strange how clearly I could hear him even when he was so far away from me.

"Okay, Bella, I'm gonna throw you in at the deep end. I'm going to come at you like a newborn would, it is the simple and primary way to fight, a lot of vampires still fight this way because they have never been trained in any other area." He was pacing. Taking ten steps forward and then ten steps back. He would always end up in the exact same place, he would never go any further. "Newborn's rely on complete strength and we know you can beat me when I'm caught off guard when I'm using my complete strength it would be like when a newborn attacks a normal vampire." He dropped down into a crouch which would have made him seem feral and scary, except the smile on his face never faltered. "Just go with your instincts, don't worry about anything." I nodded feeling myself getting shaky with nerves.

Following my instincts and I crouched like Jasper. I saw him smile at my actions and then his face changed, it turned predatory. I stayed completely still waiting for the time that I'd have to react. It seemed that Jasper had turned into a statue and for a moment I couldn't believe that he was anything but a marble representation of himself, then stupidly, I blinked. It wouldn't have been more than a nanosecond later when I realised that Jasper had attacked. I tried to push him away but he was too strong.

I felt us crashing into something. I felt and heard the sickening crack came from my shoulder upon impact. I cried out, a strangled scream erupted from my lips and then Jasper was nowhere to be seen.

I looked around, everything seemed to be moving slower as a tear rolled down my cheek. I cradled my left arm which is where the pain was emanating from. As everything moved slowly it seemed to take minutes rather than seconds for him to get to my side. His face was a mixture of worry and pain as he looked over my shoulder. I looked into his eyes as I watched his mouth shut tightly as his nostrils flared. His lips then formed the words "I'm sorry," but I didn't actually hear the words come from his lips.

He came closer to me and quickly put his arms around me, picking me up. The world began moving normal as I screamed from the pain of being moved; it felt like my arm was being ripped from my shoulder.

I felt something comfortable beneath me and was surprised to realise that I'd closed my eyes. I knew we were in Jasper's new, beautifully furnished living room. I felt more tears slip down my hot cheeks as I panted through the pain.

"Bella. Bella? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I really didn't. Please answer me, please tell me where you hurt, Bella, where do you hurt?" His voice seemed calm but I could feel the worry and self-loathing that fell off him in waves. Put my okay hand on his shoulder letting him feel that I didn't blame him.

"I'll be alright, just tell me what's wrong with me." He looked reluctant for a second before touching my arm feather light. I looked down at my shoulder for the first time since I'd hurt myself and almost vomited. It looked dislocated and there was a part of my bone in my forearm that had broken and was now popping out my arm. There was a lot of blood.

"I can't put your shoulder back in the socket until your bone is back in the right place." He looked at me completely seriously and I felt his familiar soothing calm wash over me. "I'm going to do two things, which means there will be two moments now where you will be in excruciating pain, I will do all I can with my gift to take that pain away but it won't be all of it, actually, it probably won't be a lot of it." He looked at me and I don't think I could have spoken so I just nodded. "Okay, on the count of three." I nodded again, waiting for the unbearable pain that I knew would make me scream in agony. "One, two-" He lied. He didn't wait for number three. After two he pushed down on my bone and I felt more than heard myself scream. The pain was worse than anything I could have imagined and I was glad when it was over. I looked down to see my skin stretching back over the newly healing bone. The blood started to disappear and all that was left as evidence was the bright pink line that was running down my arm.

"Liar!" I cried out and laughed to show him I didn't mind he lied. Actually, it was nice not knowing when the pain was going to come.

"I'm sorry, I really will do it on three now." I shook my head once he spoke.

"No! Don't count, just do it!" Before I could even register his nod he was pushing my shoulder back into place. I didn't scream this time, but another tear did slide down my face.

"How do you feel?" Jasper asked after a long silence. I moved my shoulder and touched one finger lightly over the fading pink line. Nothing hurt. I wouldn't have believed it had actually happened if I didn't have the sticky track marks of tears down my face.

"I feel great, totally normal." I grinned up at Jasper, the pain almost completely forgotten. He looked at me speechless for a moment before he burst into laughter. He grabbed me and scooped me up, placed me on his lap and buried his face in my hair, inhaling deeply and still chuckling happily.

"Oh, Bella. I am so sorry, I never meant to hurt you I thought you would be better prepared or at least more durable. I promise we'll start with something less, like testing your speed and strength on other things. I'll teach you how to fight when I know your body can handle it." He pulled his face from my hair and looked down at me. There was no hint of a smile on his face now, there was only pain in his eyes and it hurt me more than any injury to see it there. "Bella, I don't know what I'd do if I ever hurt you again, please forgive me?" I put my hands on his face and made him look into my eyes. The pain in them almost killed me, so I kissed his lips softly and spoke.

"Jasper, I have nothing to forgive you for, you were trying to train me and neither of us could have anticipated this, so it is not your fault if I ever hear you blame yourself so help me God Jasper-" He put his finger over my mouth and smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"I know you don't believe it was my fault but it was and I will forever be making up for it and apologising until I know you truly forgive me." He took my hands off his face and kissed both my palms. He kept his eyes away from my face as he spoke. "I am sorry. I would kill any person who would ever try to hurt you and then hurting you myself," he shook his head, disgust colouring his tone. "I couldn't stand myself if I ever hurt you again. Please, if you can, grant me your forgiveness." I sighed and peppered his face in light kisses.

"To give you closure I do forgive you, but I also don't blame you for anything." He released a breath I hadn't known he was holding.

"Thank you." Finally he lifted his face to look at me. "You are so perfect Isabella." He touched my face with the pad of his thumb, softly brushing it against my lips, my cheeks, my eyes. "So beautiful, caring, forgiving. You are more precious than immortality and I would give up my immortal life if it meant that no harm would ever come to you." I was blushing madly by the end of Jasper's sentence. My heart was pounding tenfold in my chest and a feeling of complete serenity and fulfilment came over me when he kissed me.

It was a passionate kiss, full of longing and unspoken emotions. I was beginning to feel more for Jasper than I wanted to admit. He made me feel like no one else in the world mattered, that I was the only person who existed. He treated me like royalty and gave me all the freedom that I asked for. He said I was perfect, but he clearly didn't realise how truly perfect he was himself.

I deepened the kiss, trying to show him how I felt with every moment that our lips touched.

He took his lips from mine and rested his forehead against mine. We both were breathing deeply, Jasper taking in unnecessary oxygen. I opened my eyes to see that his were still closed, but he was grinning widely.

We spent the rest of the day going over my math homework as Jazz wanted me to take it easy. He decided he was going to make me dinner to make up for the injury. He cooked some chicken breasts covered in breadcrumbs with a salad on the side. It wasn't much but it was delicious and he made enough for me to take home for Charlie.

"Where did you learn to cook like this?" I asked as I ate.

"My mamma taught me and it was one thing I never forgot, also something I still enjoy just like I still enjoy eating the food as much as I enjoy making it." He grinned and stole a bite of my chicken. After dinner I looked through Jasper's DVD collection. I gasped when I saw one of my favourite films.

"Jasper," my voice was stern and he looked at me concerned. "How come you never told me that you had the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films?" He laughed, very hard and very long.

"Because no one in the family like them, do you?"

"Hell yeah, lets watch one." So we watched a TMNT film, it was awesome, Jasper could recite every line and both of our favourite character was Michelangelo. It was just past seven when I decided to go home. Jasper drove me like he always does and he kissed me in the car.

"Call me if you want me round tonight." And he was gone. I went inside to find my Dad sat on the couch drinking a beer.

"Hey Dad, you ate yet?" I asked as I walked through the kitchen and into the living room.

"No I was waiting for you." He looked around and grinned at me. I went back into the kitchen and started to heat up the chicken for him.

"Well Jasper made dinner for me but I brought some home for you, he says hi by the way." Dad got up off the couch and came into the kitchen and leaned on one of the counters.

"Oh, how is Jasper?" He asked while sipping his beer and watching me.

"He's great, he's a real big help with my math homework." I put the salad on a plate and waited for the chicken.

"Good, good. You and Jasper have been seeing a lot of each other lately." I had a feeling that this conversation was going somewhere I didn't want it to.

"What's your point dad?" I asked putting his chicken on the plate and placing it on the table. Instead of going to the table Dad put his empty can in the bin and got another two out the fridge.

"Here Bella come sit down and have a beer with me." He put the beer in front of my seat at the table and gestured for me to sit down. I sat, popped open the can and took a sip. It had a bitter taste but it wasn't too horrible so I took a second sip. "Bella, Jasper's a good lad, and I see that I just don't want you getting hurt by another Cullen, especially so soon after breaking up with his brother." I smiled at my dad and took another sip.

"Dad, I promise you that I won't let anyone do that again, especially not a Cullen. And anyway Jasper's not a Cullen technically." He let it drop after that and finally informed me that I had a message on the answering machine.

"It was from Leah Clearwater, she asked you to phone back, her numbers on a piece of paper on the table." He finished eating and washed his dishes then went back into the living room. I went over to where the phone sat on a table and dialled the number Charlie had scribbled on a little piece of paper.

On the second ring someone picked up.

"Hello?" Seth's voice rang from the other end.

"Hey Seth it's Bella Swan, is Leah in?"

"Oh hey Bella, yeah I'll go get her for you." I heard Seth put the phone down and shout Leah's name. "She'll be here in a sec." I heard some mumbling and Seth say "ow" and then Leah picked up.

"Hey Bella."

"Hi Leah, what's up?"

"Well, you see, my cousin has asked me to hang out with her and some of the guys at first beach tomorrow 'cause it's gonna be sunny, but my cousin is kinda engaged to my ex and it's gonna be really uncomfortable so I was wondering if you'd come along so we can hang out and I won't feel like a total outsider freak." I could hear the slight smile in her voice at the end of her sentence and I liked the fact that she didn't try to pretend that her reasons were selfish.

"Alright I'll be there." Leah squealed on the other end and I laughed.

"Great, I'll pick you up at about 12 and don't forget to wear a bikini. Okay? See ya tomorrow Bella, and thanks." We said goodbye and hung up.

I have to say, I was definitely looking forward to hanging out with Leah, I just wasn't looking forward to telling Jasper where I was going.

Okay that's it.

Thanks for reading. Leave your thoughts.
