Chapter six: Sup?


(BPOV)

I was lying in bed replaying the events of the day before and how amazing it was.

Yesterday had to be one of the best days of my life.

After Rosalie had told Esme that I was back and she told Carlisle they called back asking us where we were. Rosalie gave the address and ten minutes later they were banging at the door. I got up to open the door and was greeted by two very, very happy vampires.

"Bella! Is that really you?" Esme had asked me.

I smiled and nodded. She looked back at Carlisle and their smiles widened. They both then enveloped me in a hug and I could feel them both dry sobbing.

"Hey, hey, guys don't cry. This is a happy moment no need for tears." I told them. Carlisle let go of me and just stood watching me and Esme in our embrace.

"Sweetheart we are so sorry for leaving you, we never wanted…" I cut her off there. I already knew the story; I didn't need to hear it again.

"Esme, its ok I already know and I already forgive you all. I'm just happy that you're all back." I told them, hoping to reassure them. Carlisle smiled at me and ruffled my hair, such a fatherly gesture, and made his way into the living room where he was introduced to Sila and Matthew.

After Esme and I made our way into the living room, everyone started talking about everything under the sun. Sila and Matthew really seemed to get along with the Cullen's and I was thankful for that. Every once in a while I would participate in their conversations but mostly I just sat back with Pikachu on my lap, thinking. I was thinking about my new family mostly. I could never stay angry with them, they had to do what they had to do and I'm happy with that. They're back in my life now which is more then I could ask for. Just having Sila and Matthew in my life was everything to me, they were my rocks. They brought me out of my gloomy and depressing lifestyle. And now I have my second family back, which is now turning into just one big happy family. My immortality was defiantly starting to look brighter.

Unfortunately my thoughts moved onto Edward. I was angry with him but I also wasn't. I just didn't care about him anymore; whatever he did was his choice, sure it affected me drastically but as the saying goes 'Shit happens'. It irritated me that he left to go be with someone else and didn't even tell me. He just left without a second glance and left me to pick up the pieces. But I'm going to be the better person in this; I'm not going to be hostile or disrespectful towards Edward nor Tanya, if their happy then I'm happy for them. I was taken out of my reverie by Jasper. He was looking at me with his eyebrow raised; Oh crap, my emotions. I smiled sheepishly at him and mouthed a sorry to him.

Pikachu was starting to get restless in my lap and I could tell she was getting hungry. I excused myself and took Pikachu into the kitchen where her cat food was located.

While I was pouring some dry cat food into a bowl someone coughed behind me. I twirled around and realized it was Jasper.

"Oh, hey Jasper; what's up?" I asked him.

Smiling he said "Oh nothing. It was getting a bit boring in there and I just wanted to speak to you, see what's been happening."

In between giggles I asked him; "Did you just say 'What's been happening?'"

He just stared at me, but I could see the corners of his mouth twitching. Finally he gave in and started laughing. "Ok I admit it that was quite sad."

Once we both calmed down we took a seat at the dining table. "Firstly I want to apologize for what I did on your 18th birthday. After I nearly attacked you I took some time away from the family and was on my own trying to figure things out. I've gotten a lot better at controlling myself now, and for the past two years I haven't even been tempted to drink from a human." All I could do was smile at him. I was so proud and I'm sure he knew it because soon after he started grinning like a mad man.

"I'm sure you already know this but I'm so proud of you!" I told him while jumping up to hug him which he happily returned.

This is a first. I've never been close to Jasper and I'm hugging him now? It's amazing how nice he smells; I've never really taken any notice to how he smelt but wow. It smelt like cinnamon and honey, delicious and sweet. It took all I could in me not to giggle at my silly thoughts but of course Jasper being the empath, he could feel it. He looked at me skeptically but shrugged it off.

"So anyway;"He continued after we sat back down, "I was on my own for honestly too long. At the start Alice kept calling me and telling me to come back home. She kept telling me that it wasn't my fault, that I don't have anything to be ashamed about etcetera etcetera. But I just couldn't, I had to find a way to help myself. No one can help me but myself I kept telling her but she wouldn't listen. So I stayed away for roughly sixteen years. And when I came back the family welcomed me with open arms; except Alice." My eyes widened. What? How is that even possible, she would be the first one to welcome him back. I'm defiantly missing something.

"She told me she had a vision of me and another girl, we were in a… intimate position. When I came back she questioned me about it, accused me of cheating on her in the near future, but I 100% would never in my entire existence cheat on her. It took her a while to believe me but I'm glad she did, she's still my best friend no matter what. So after that we started speaking about our future. She told me she had a vision of herself as well. It was similar to the one she had of me, couldn't see the persons face but it defiantly wasn't us together. So we came to an agreement; we would end our relationship." I gasped. WHAT!? This is so bullshit.

I started laughing. This can't be true, Alice and Jasper were soul mates, they would never end their relationship. "Har-har Jasper, you got me there. You're pretty convincing you know that? I actually thought you were being serious." I continued to laugh while he just blankly stared at me.

"Oh you're shitting me!" I sighed.

"Can I continue?" I nodded. "Well it wasn't a rash decision. It took us nearly a year to finalize it. But we're both fine with it. We're still best friends. The family is ok with the decision. They just want us to be happy and we both just want each other to be happy so… yeah." He concluded.

I sat there staring at him and I'm pretty sure my mouth was hanging open. We sat like that for what seemed like hours but were probably only a few minutes.

"Oh, my, god!" was all I could get out.

We just sat there for a further ten minutes; not speaking a word.

"I-I-I… no…why…how…huh?" I stammered. Wow; go me.

He chuckled. "I know it's extremely hard to believe. But it's happened; we're just great friends now."

"ALICE!" I screamed out. A second later and she was standing next to me and the others were scattered around the kitchen. "Is Jasper telling the truth? You and him are officially over?" I asked her.

"Yup" She answered simply. Wow I guess they are over.

"Wow" was all I said.

"So, this is kind of boring. Just a tad bit so want to watch a movie or something?" Matthew asked.

Everyone agreed and we all went upstairs to our theater room to watch 'Mirrors' (that movies actually coming out soon (: )

Sila and Matthew had taken one love seat while Carlisle and Esme took the other. Emmett and Rosalie were leaning against the love seat Carlisle and Esme were sitting on while Jasper, Alice and I were sitting amongst the cushions which were situated on the floor.

I couldn't concentrate on the movie as I was preoccupied with my thoughts. So much had changed in the past seventeen years; it was, for a lack of a better word, weird. I couldn't believe Jasper and Alice had broken up. They were inseparable. Two peas in a pod; and yet they had broken up, and are possibly going to be with other people in the near future. I don't think I would be able to see them with other people, it would look to absurd.

I couldn't believe that things had changed so much in seventeen years. I scanned the room slowly. Carlisle and Esme were the same; amazing parental figures. Loving, caring, sweet just all round genuine vampires, the only difference was that they had grown in the past few years. Emmett and Rosalie were still the same carefree vampires they once were. Both are still beautiful and strong, caring, sweet and adventurous and of course they have grown as well. The only ones that had changed drastically were Alice, Jasper, myself and oh Edward. We had all grown in different ways. Us four have all gone through our own struggles and problems to get where we were today. Every one of us, Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, Edward, Jasper and I have all grown and experienced new things in the past seventeen years.

I scanned everyone individually, lingering for a few moments when finally I looked at Jasper who was watching me. We locked eyes, something we had never before done. His eyes burned with such intensity it could be frightening to any person. But I found it comforting. This vampire who I was never close with - while I was a human because he wasn't the best at controlling his thirst – was now starring at me. Who had tried to kill me on my Eighteenth birthday because I was a fragile and weak human being with appetizing blood. But now was different. I wasn't fragile, flimsy, weak, little Bella anymore. I was a strong, physically powerful, dominant, indestructible vampire who took shit from no one. Cross me and it will be the last thing you do.

We kept staring at each other, just looking into each others deep eyes. Waiting for each other to break the gaze. His eyes held so much depth; like a pathway to his history and his struggles. I wanted to look away, but something was telling me I should hold on for as long as I could. His honey-blonde hair fell roughly across his forehead and slightly in his topaz-blue eyes and his lips were relaxed and slightly parted. His facial structure was so strong. His cheek bones were prominent and jaw line defined. Eyes deep and strikingly beautiful, his nose perfect in place and hair; his gorgeous hair which sat disheveled on his beautiful head. He was extraordinary beautiful even for a vampire.

Unfortunately the lights went back on and we turned our gaze to the screen only to see that the credits were showing. How long had we been staring at each other? I wondered. Doesn't really matter though it was far more interesting staring at him then watching the movie.

"BELLA!" Sila screamed, breaking me out of my daydream. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for school?" She asked, one day this girl will make me deaf.

"I am ready Sila I was waiting for you and Matthew remember?" I told her. Poor girl, for a vampire she can be pretty forgetful.

During our drive to school Matthew played 'Lean like a Cholo by Down Aka Kilo' and turned it up as loud as our super-ears could handle. For the entire 3 minutes and 20 seconds of the song we were dancing with our 'Elbows up' and moving 'Side to Side' which was highlarious for us and anybody watching. When we got to school the song hadn't finished yet so we sat in the car dancing until the end.

When we finally got out of the car the Cullen's were cracking up and attempting to stay standing by leaning against their car. Sila, Matthew and I started laughing and took a bow. "Thank you. Thank you" we said.

I looked at us all smiling and laughing and realized how happy and beautiful they all were. There smiles added even more perfection to each and every one of them.

After we all calmed down we made our way to class. The day passed pretty quickly and we all agreed to meeting at the Cullen house an hour after school finished. When we got home all three of us made our way to our bedrooms to freshen up and change into something more dry and comfortable as it had been raining for most of the day.

I put on a purple strapless, baggy dress which had black patterns on the right side. Plain silver hoops hung from my ears which stayed pierced even through my transformation. Score one for the good guys. I had three bangles on, two on my left and one on my right and I also had on black strappy platform heels. A big change from when I was a human. I wasn't much of a fashion person but when you go shopping with people such as Sila and Matthew, they really know how to make it fun.

I went downstairs and hung out in the lounge room with Pikachu while Matthew and Sila got dressed. Sila was wearing a strapless military style dress with a belt clenched at the waist. She had on black platforms with a bangle on her left arm and long dangling earrings hanging from her ears. She looked sexy. I smirked at her and she smirked back; we were both waiting for Matt to walk down next and see his beautiful wife.

Not long after Matt walked down sporting a blue dress shirt which were rolled up to his elbows and black skinny leg jeans. He had on black plaid vans and a dog collar around his neck. He took one look at Sila and stopped walking.

Minutes passed and he still hadn't moved an inch.

"Ok Matt, we get it she looks stunning now can we get moving?" I asked.

"Can I have about… 7 and a half minutes with my wife?" Matt smirked. Oh no I don't think so; I knew what he was up to.

"And do what Matt?" I feigned confusion.

He only glared at me and proceeded towards the door.

"You know if you just answered me I would have waited." I told him; hey I'm not that big of a bitch. I smiled at him in which his glared deepened.

On our way out Sila and I grabbed our trench coats and headed out to the car.

The ride there didn't take very long and before we knew it we were outside of the Cullen mansion.

We knocked on the door and was greeted by Esme. We walked into the living area and noticed two new additions to the household.

They both just starred at me, shocked. Mouths hanging open and eyes wide. I bet they never expected to see me again.

"Sup?" I smiled at them.
