Chapter 5
BPOV
"You love her! You leave her alone in the woods, devastated and heartbroken and you have the cheek to turn around and say you love her!" Jared stood up impressing his height and I could see the anger swelling up inside him.
"Jared calm down" I knew if he got angry enough his power would activate and we didn't need that in the middle of the cafeteria. "CALM DOWN, remember where we are!" The Cullens all looked at each other with confusion obviously trying to work out the meaning behind my words. Jared seemed to realise and his 'breathing' steadied.
I turned to Edward and made eye contact with his topaz eyes for the first time. "Look Edward it doesn't matter anymore how you feel, I have moved on".
The bell signifying the end of lunch went and we all silently made our way to our next classes. The rest of the day passed without anymore incidents and to be honest I was glad our first encounter had gone so smoothly, I knew if Jared got really angry how bad it could have been. I love him dearly but sometimes his anger worries me, I know he would never hurt me but he could easily kill so many. As the four of us made our way back to Jared's jeep I realised that the Cullens new silver Volvo was the car next to ours as they were in the middle of getting into it. When they saw us Alice came over in her usual graceful manner.
"Izzy, I am sooooooooooo sorry about earlier, you know Emmett he speaks before her thinks" I heard Emmett growl at the comment but then he gave a laugh as if realising how true it was. I could see in Alice's eyes that she meant what she was saying and immediately forgave her.
"Oh Alice I have missed you!!" I gave her a hug and a big smile before letting her go.
"Brilliant, although I knew you had!" she said with her usual sparkle in her eyes, both of us knowing what she meant.
I knew that Jared, Hannah and Olly had tensed when I gave Alice a hug so I turned to then and gave them a reassuring smile, showing them where my heart truly lies.
"Look why don't all of you come over to ours later and we can discuss everything I am sure you have a million and one questions to ask me?" she nodded as I gave her our address and made my way over to the passenger side of the jeep.
On the way home the jeep was silent and I knew it was mainly to do with my actions in the car park. "Jared, look at me. I. Love. You. Always will and Edward being here won't ever change that" I said looking straight into his eyes with as much love as I could.
"I know that, I am just worried about you and angry with myself for nearly exposing us to the whole cafeteria just because of them!" as he spoke I could hear the sadness in his voice and vowed to make it up to him when we got home.
Marie and Russ were waiting in the living room for us and Marie immediately pulled me in for one of her bone crushing (if I was still human) hugs, she may not have any powers like the rest of us but she always knew when we needed her. We explained how the day had gone including the incident with the Cullens and they remained silent the whole time.
"Well I think it's a great idea Iz, you inviting them here, it would be good to meet them. We can get everything out in the open and the maybe" Russ then moved his focus onto Jared "we could be friends". Jared nodded at the last comment and went upstairs to our room, I decided to follow and starting making it up to him for this afternoon.
A few hours later Jared and I were making out after our making up session (wink wink) when I heard the doorbell ring. We both knew who it was; Olly had called up earlier telling us exactly their time of arrival. Jared pulled me closer to him and started kissing me with more force as if to remind me I was his, I returned the sentiment.
"Welcome to our home" I heard Marie greet them and show them into the living room. "I will just get the others although I expected them to be here we knew when you were going to arrive, my husband Russell is just out hunting he has been working at the hospital and sometimes he finds it harder than others to control the urges. Olly and Hannah areā¦. behind you" she laughed as she said this as I knew Hannah had just used her power of teleportation to sneak her and Olly up behind the Cullens. "Sorry about them two, they may be over 160 but sometimes they act more like they are still 16!"
Jared and I hadn't stopped kissing yet, he had moved down to my collarbone and was just making his way lower when Marie called up to us.
"Izzy, Jared it's rude to ignore guests especially when you have invited them Izzy!! She tried to come across as the authority figure that we all knew she didn't have in her she was just too nice to be mean.
"We are coming, just give us a moment" Jared called back and I was glad to see his mood had lifted. We quickly redressed and I reapplied my makeup and gave my hair a quick brush while Jared looked like he was concocting a plan to embarrass me.
"No, don't even think about whatever you are thinking about" I warned him having had previous experience if when he was in a playful mood. Before I could get to the door he had pulled me onto his back and was giving me a piggyback ride down the stairs! I couldn't help myself I burst into laughter totally forgetting the Cullens were sitting in the living room in which the stairs came into.
When Jared finally put me down I regained my composure to find all of the Cullens looking at me, Emmett and Jasper looked as if they wanted to laugh, Rosalie looked uninterested, and Alice and Edward looked upset. Lastly I saw the couple who had become second parents to me before I was changed Carlisle and Esme stood there with smiles on their faces and I crossed the room in 2 strides and gave them both hugs.
"Carlisle, Esme I missed you! Have you met the whole family?" I asked eager to show them how happy I was.
"We have met Marie and Hannah and Oliver tried to surprise us but we have yet to meet Russell and Jared is it?" Carlisle responded looking up at Jared.
"Oh of course I am so rude, this is Jared my husband of the last 125 years, Jared this is Carlisle and Esme but I suppose you already worked that one out" I said, I had told the family everything about my past when I joined them so they were fully informed on everything I had gone through. Jared politely shook Carlisle's hand and we took a seat on the sofa opposite where the Cullen's were sitting.
"Dad should be home in precisely 2 minutes 10 seconds" Olly announced to the room earning himself a number of stares from the Cullens, especially Alice.
"Wait, can you see the future too?" she asked clearly getting excited at the prospect of meeting someone who shared her ability.
"Yes but unlike yours I don't 'see' it I know it, I just know what is going to happen even before the person involved has made the decision or has even thought about what decision there is to be made" he answered trying not to sound smug.
Alice looked taken aback with this statement but chose to carry on the conversation anyway. "Oh, ok can I test you?" when Olly nodded she carried on "so tell me what is going to happen in five minutes, I have foreseen something occurring but don't know the outcome as a decision has not been made yet."
Olly thought hard for a moment as if deciding whether to say anything or not. "Ok, in five minutes Jared is going to get very angry causing his power to activate and he will only calm down once Izzy gets close enough to him to calm him down again" Everyone turned to look at Jared including me who looked slightly annoyed at all the attention.
"So how do I know that you saying that is going to cause Jared to get angry, I saw us backing out the room from him but don't know why?" Alice said asking the question I knew everyone was thinking.
"You don't, but let me tell you this, all of us know that Jared would do nothing to hurt Izzy and when his power activates she is the only one who has ever been able to calm him enough for it to stop but doing so causes her some pain, which being a vampire you must know is very hard to do" Olly replied quite slowly and deliberately.
Edward looked at Jared with disgust, the others gave him a look of apprehension trying to work out which power could cause a vampire physical pain.
"So you shouted at me earlier for leaving Bella for her own good but when you get angry which judging on what I have seen seems quite often you can cause a vampire physical harm which you inflict on her!" Edward was glaring at Jared by now, Jared's breathing was getting faster and faster.
"Look Edward you know nothing about Jared and his past, so leave him alone, I know he doesn't mean me any harm and in fact he has asked me not to put myself in harm's way but I can't stand back and watch him suffer because I love him!" I wrapped my arms around Jared now to show him I meant every word.
