Chapter 6

Bella POV

Carlisle looked worried about the answer I was going to give him.

"I mean because you aren't with Edward any more we didn't know if you would want to stay. You are always welcome here though Bella!" Esme said with motherly eyes.

"Well if it's okay with you I would still like to stay part of this family." I said and snuck a peek at Jasper who was smiling hugely. I looked down and blushed.

"It will always be okay with us!" Esme said hugging me.

"Yes! Didn't want you to leave baby Bells!" Emmet said crushing me.

"Emmet...can't...breathe!" I said as loud as I could.

"Oh sorry Bella." He said releasing me.

"I'm happy you will still be with us Bella." Carlisle was the next to hug me.

"I'm so happy your staying with us Bella." Came from the voice I least expected to say that. Rosalie!

"Thanks Rosalie."

"Bella my friends call me Rose! So that means you too! I want to apologize for my behavior towards you. I just knew Edward would do something to hurt you and he didn't deserve you to give up your mortality for him. I'm so sorry!" I was not expecting that!

"I forgive you Rose." I said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I wont dress you all the time. I'll be a much better friend than that bitch of a pixie!" She spat the last four words.

I laughed and my last embrace was from Jasper. It was by far the best. I buried my head in his chest and inhaled deeply. I loved his scent so much!

"Words can't explain how happy I am Bella! I thought you were going to leave us!" He said shaking.

"No Jasper! I promise I will never leave you! To be honest I don't think I could!"

He hugged me tighter. "I will never leave you either." He said softly.

"Jasper!" Esme suddenly gasped.

"What?" He answered scared. He turned round but never let me go. His hand snaked round my waist and gave me butterflies and made me blush. I'm sure he could feel my emotions so that made me blush even redder!

"Your control! I've never seen you like this before!" She smiled ear-to-ear.

"Well it gets easier and easier around Bella every day." He squeezed my hip and can you guess? I blushed.

"Well son I am so proud of you! Your control is almost as good as Emmets!" I sometimes forgot Emmet was a vampire because of how easy he was around me.

"Yay! I'm the best!" Emmet shouted bouncing up and down. He squealed like a five year old girl and we all laughed.

"Well Jasper, the four of us need to hunt." Carlisle said and I realised all of their eyes were black. "Will you be okay here?" YESYESYES! Alone with Jasper! No scary people this time!

Wait. Why was I thinking like this...Jasper was like my brother and like I said. He would never like me like that.

"Yes we should be fine." He looked like he was trying to hold back the worlds biggest grin. Hmmm?

"Okay well we will be back in two days. Have fun you two." Esme said with a wicked grin on her face. I wonder what that was all about?

They all left and Jasper and I stood at the door and waved.

"So." Jasper said making me turn. "What do you want to do this weekend?"

"Well we should tell Charlie I'm here." I was immediately worried about what I was going to tell him.

"Covered. Rosalie called this morning and asked if you could stay this weekend."

"And he said?" I wonder how he felt about that.

"I think he likes Rose more than he liked Alice." He grinned.

"How are you holding up on that?" We hadn't talked about how we felt about it much.

"Alice sent me a yesterday. I snuck home and read it while you were sleeping. She said her and Edward have found that they were always meant to be. They were mates." He didn't even look sad.

"What did you do?" I asked curiously. Personally I didn't care. I had Jasper.

"Well I didn't really give so...Emmet recorded what I did." He said laughing "want to see?" Oh now I was scared.

He left the room and came back three seconds later holding a tape. In five more seconds he had it on the TV and pressed play.

I couldn't contain my laughter at what came up on the screen.

Jasper was doing some sort of voodoo dance on top of the letter and chanting "Don't care bitch!" The camera was shaking with Emmets laughter. Jasper stopped and picked up the letter and threw it in the fire.

"So Jazzy-boy" Emmet boomed through the speakers. "What did she say?"

"Her and Edward are mates. Niether of them deserve mates! I don't give a fuck I'm just worried about how Bella will feel!" Jasper shouted.

The video stopped there and I was still in laughing fits.

"So your okay about it?" He asked.

"Y-yes haha! Jasper I d-didn't know you were into v-voo-voodoo!" I said still laughing.

"Hey don't make fun of me!" He started to fake cry which only made me laugh tol. He started laughing aswell.

Only then did I realize how we were sitting. I was sitting in Jaspers lap with his arm around me bouncing up and down with laughter...oops. I blushed scarlet!

I turned round to look at him but got lost in his deep golden eyes. Our faces were inches apart. So close to kissing him. He started to move forward but suddenly stopped and cleared his throat.

"Want to see my study?" He asked holding out his hand.

"Sure." I said quietly and got up.

Did Jasper Hale just try to kiss me! No. He didn't like me like that. He was jut caught up feeling my emotions. Yes thats it, my emotions were just really strong...uh-oh...does that mean he knows how I feel!

"You okay?" He asked "Your emotions are everywhere." He sounded concerned.

"I'm fine." I said smiling.

Jasper POV

Well she was laughing so that was good. At least she had came out of her depression. I had to admit I did look a but like a bufoon. Dancing around the living room stamping on a letter. She kept having bursts of laughter but I wasn't focusing on the screen. I was focusing on her.

The video stopped and she was still laughing.

"So your okay about it?" I hoped she knew what I meant.

"Y-yes haha! Jasper I d-didn't know you were into v-voo-voodoo!" She said still laughing.

"Hey don't make fun of me!" I started to make wimpering and sniffeling noises and rubbed my eyes. She kept laughing and I started aswell.

Just after that her emotions went from happy to nervousness. She turned round and stared at me with those big brown eyes and I was lost. I poured all my love out. I wanted to kiss her! I started to move forward until I realized what I was doing. I snapped back and her emotions went from lust to dissapointment. Wait what! No. That was just me feeling my own emotions right? Bella wouldn't be dissapointed. She didn't like me like that!

"Want to see my study?" I asked holding out my hand.

"Sure." She said timidly. She got up took my hand and followed me up.

Her emotions were flickering around like mad. Was she okay? Mabye she was sick or I was feeling a mixture of Bella and my emotions at the same time. Or not?

"You okay?" I asked turning round "Your emotions are everywhere." Mabye I put a bit too much concern in that...

"I'm fine." She said with a smile.

We walked up the rest of the stairs and to the last room on the far end of the hall.

"And here we are." I said proudly as I opened the door.

The walls were lined with book shelves in a mahogany colour that were floor to cieling. There was one shelf for classic books and the rest were books on the civil war. Some of them had stuff about me in them. While that was embarrasing it was also interesting to see how accurate/inaccurate they were. And I liked to remember things from my past. In the far end of the room there was a mahogany desk with papers and notebooks and pens covering it. There was a leather chair behind it in the same colour as the desk. Above the desk on the only space on the wall hung a flag.

"Is that..a flag from the actual civil war!?" Bella sounded dumbstruck.

"Yes." I said looking at it. It was wearing away at the sides and there was dirt stains and bullet holes in it. "My ranks flag." I said proudly, letting my southern drawl come in.

"Thats...amazing! Wow it looks so amazing in this room Jasper!" She was the first person to like it.

"Realy?" I asked and she nodded "Emmet laughed at it, Alice thought it was ugly and Edward said it wasn't important enough to have in the house." Anger came from her in torrents.

"Edward. Said. What!" She spat his name. "Jasper never listen to a thing he says!"

"I don't. If I'm honest I dont think he is important enough." I said chuckling. I hoped I didn't offend Bella. She started laughing so I knew I hadn't.

"Can I read one of your books?" She asked timidly.

"Of cource you can darlin'." Excitement went through her when I said "Darlin'". Hmm I would have to use that more often.

She picked up a book and I went and sat in my chair. She took the book and sat on the floor? That could not be comfortable for a human.

"Bella come and sit here." I said patting my lap. Wait oh god I hope she doesn't think I'm too forward!

"Okay." She said cheerily and skiped over and sat down.

I looked over at the page she was looking at and happieness filled me when I saw she was reading the pages about me.

"What colour were your eyes before you were changed?" What were they again...

"Brown." I remembered "But not like your brown, yours are much prettier." She blushed. God I loved it when she did that.

She went back to reading and I swear it could have been days, months, years. I could have sat with her for eternity.
