A/N: Voila. The next chapter is here!!! I'm trying to figure out how to wrap this up...
Catching Up:
BPOV:
I glared at Maria, how dare she do this? Doesn't she understand, Jasper is mine, and only mine. What if she has come here to take him away? My eyes began to sting with the tears I would never be able to shed, and Jazzy looked over at me. His eyes were full of comfort, warmth, love, and somehow, I was reassured.
JPOV:
Maria? Seriously, why is she here? I thought I ditched her a long time ago back down South...
Bella was feeling very anxious, worried, and heartbroken. Why would she feel like that? God I wish I could know the reasons behind the emotions. I would kill whatever was making my Bella feel so terrible!
"Jazzy, why are you so quiet? We've got many decades worth catching up to do!" Maria giggled, and glared at Bella. "Why don't you go busy yourself with something else dear? This'll take some time, we go back far don't we Jazzy?"
Oh dear. "Um. Yes Maria. We... do go back." She's not going to tell Bella about...us is she? Oh god no. Maria go die in a hole!!!! Hearing my thoughts, Edward smirked and grinned like the crazy boy he is.
"No, it's okay. I think I'll stay here with my Jasper." With that, Bella leaned over and gave me a gentle kiss on my lips. It felt like she was about to pull away, so I wrapped my arms around her and held her to my chest. I chuckled and looked down at her.
"You like that, don't ya?" I slipped in to my Southern accent.
"Sure do, baby." She giggled and sat on my lap. Maria looked bored, but I could feel lust, want, jealousy, and pure hatred emanating from her. What was that supposed to mean? Lust and want for me, she wanted me. But can I really blame her for wanting me? Yet again, Edward looked over and rolled his eyes.
I stuck my tongue out at Edward and Maria had a look of bewilderment on her face.
"What are you doing Jazzy?"
"Nothing, nothing. Never mind." I looked at Maria, and saw how she had changed. Her face had taken a sadder look, and she dressed very gloomy. It was all gray and dark blue. Wonder why that happened...
"So Maria, one big question. Why are you here?" Not trying to be rude but really, what the heck was she doing here?
"Well...okay. So I had all my land down south when you were still with me, but when you left... it went haywire on me. Everything started to fall apart, and I just couldn't find anyone as good as you. My heart throbbed for you and I couldn't spend a day without wondering where my Jasper was now. I would always be sad, wishing that I could see your beautiful face once more... and after many years of depression I decided I would start a new life up north." It felt like she was editing something out, but I let her go on.
"So I headed towards here, and that's when I caught your scent! So I followed it but first I hunted. And you found me while I was hunting. So that's pretty much what I've done. So... tell me about you, honey. Looks like you got loads going on!" Maria chuckled darkly.
I told Maria much of what happened, and she was very intrigued by the war between us and the newborns. She was also appalled of our truce with the werewolves, and the fact that she would have to abide by it until she left here. Bella was listening to my story intently.
"So this is your new mate, Jazz?" Maria asked curiously.
"Yeah, she is. I love her so much; I wouldn't give her up for anyone." I close the matter with that sentence. I could feel how angry Maria felt, and I hoped she wouldn't do anything rash...
"Jazz, I'm going to go upstairs. I'll be back soon, okay?" Bella was leaving me downstairs, and I saw that I was going to be alone with Maria.
Oh god.
A/N: I'm probably doing 2 or 3 more chapters. And then...it is done!!! (: Reviews please. I know, this chappie was boring. I'll make the next one better. PROMISE!
