A/N:
Worked the night shift again sorry for the delay. Hope you enjoy my latest chapter.
Previously:
I hopped back in the truck and followed the road until I reached a driveway that had a sign stating "Whitlock Ranch" I turned the wheel and came up to the house I turned the key and made my way to the door as I raised my hand to knock I heard a shatter come from inside. Worrying that Edward had been hurt I hurled through the door and followed the distant sound of yelling. When I reached the stairs the sound of another object shattering sent me flying up the stairs Edward had his hands raised to Jasper. Jasper was standing on the other side of the room chugging a bottle of whiskey he collapsed to the ground a picture in his hands it was small and unprotected by the lack of a frame. Sobs racked through his body. My heart shattered at the scene on front of me, never had I seen someone so broken. I walked over to Jasper and sat beside him wrapping my arms around him. He turned his head into the crook of my neck and let the sobs rack through his body not caring who could hear.
Edward walked out the room and returned with a washrag I hadn't noticed that blood was running down jaspers knuckles I took the rag from Edward and began to clean Jasper up. After about fifteen minutes Jasper began to nod off I grasped his hands and pulled him towards his bed and tucked him in kissing his head and walking over to Edward. By this time it was about 8 o'clock in the morning and all I wanted to do was go home and have Edward hold me.
I hopped in the truck I had brought and drove home Edward following close behind…
My feet hit the ground with a satisfying thud, we were finally home Edward held the door for me then we made our way to the den. I plopped down on the couch and pulled the quilt up to my chin, Edward walked over handing me the remote to the TV and kissed me on the forehead as I flipped through the channels I couldn't help but wonder who was in that picture Jasper was holding and why did they mean so much to him.
"Well I have to go work I'll be back at around 7:30-9 o'clock" He stated.
"Okay I'll be here"
He once again grabbed his hat placing it over his head and walked out the door. I didn't get the chance to ask him about the rude girl down the street nor did I get to ask him about the picture. After watching reruns of Law and Order: SVU for a couple hours I decided to start writing again. At this point my book was about a woman who divorced her husband after he decided he wanted to move to his family's ranch after his father died and five years later he sees her at a horse action and finds out he has a son. That's about as far as I had gotten. By this time it was now 6 o'clock Edward would be home soon and I decided that I would cook dinner since he had worked all day and made me breakfast this morning. Looking the kitchen was like a treasure hunt, I found a marinade that still looked good so I peeked my head in the garage fridge and found that it was completely stocked with meat I grabbed two hefty looking steaks and took them to the kitchen to thaw after applying the marinade multiple times I cooked Edwards rare and mine medium rare. By the time I had cooked the steaks, peeled, boiled, and mashed the potatoes, and steamed the greens Edward walked through the front door hat in hand and exhaustion written all over his face. I was then glad I had cooked dinner otherwise I would be going hungry by the looks of it.
"Hey babe you okay?"I asked.
"Yeah, Just tired and hungry," He stated "Did you make all this?"
"Yeah I thought you would be tired and you made breakfast so…" I trailed off.
I fixed our plates and sat his down first.
"I made yours rare I didn't know how you liked it so I guessed."
"It's actually my favorite so thanks," He explained. "So…What did you do all day?"
"Well, I watched TV for a couple hours then decided to start writing again and when I stopped I realized it was kind of late and I decided to cook dinner."
"Did it take you long to find the meat freezer?" He questioned.
"Only about fifteen minutes but it was worth it wasn't it?" I teased.
He didn't answer do to the fact that his mouth was completely full of food. I began cutting into my steak and lightly munching on it, the marinade was pretty good and the greens weren't as bad as I thought they'd be. Growing up in the city you don't really tend to eat greens and you never drink a bottle of beer at dinner when you're a lady. Looking back now I realized I missed out on a lot as a child. After my parents divorced my mom decided she wanted to move to the city and act like she was ten years younger that she really was and because of that I had to grow up fast. I mean I talked to my dad over the phone and saw him over the summer for a couple weeks but after my thirteenth birthday my mom didn't want me to go back she met a new guy Aro, He's Italian and he was going to be my father now. Needless to say they only lasted two years as a couple before they broke up when my mom caught him sleeping with his assistant Jane. On my seventeenth birthday I decided I needed a change in scenery and moved in with my dad in his small town. I made a lot of friends but nothing really ever happened except for maybe a new student or some kid's party would get busted.
It took an entire year before people stopped staring at me I was the "New Girl" for far too long Alice was the Alice and Rose were next to be the new girl's they got shipped here after the old logging company was opened again we met my Senior year and had a blast. I stopped hanging out with Jessica after she thought I was trying to steal Mike from here, Psycho. So after graduation I decided I would go to college in the city and when I found out that Alice, Rose, and I had picked different college's Alice came up with the plan to go to Vegas. So technically if you think about it its Alice's fault I got married in Vegas. Drunk if I might add because ALICE told me to let loose you see what happens when I let loose. I peeked up at Edward he was finishing off his potatoes and starting on his greens he looked at them hesitantly poking them with his fork.
"They're not poisoned if that's what you think." I told him.
He glanced up at me then back at his greens he poked it with his fork again and looked back at me. I couldn't contain my huff of annoyance, what could possibly be wrong with the greens.
"It's not that I think you poisoned them it's just…I don't think I can trust a Yankee to cook southern greens." He explained.
I dropped my fork a hefty clank resonated through the walls and I stared at him he honestly didn't even want to try them. I watched as he took his fork and moved on to the stake I couldn't help but feel a little hurt was this how it was always going to be. Would he always think of me as "His wife the Yankee"? Why couldn't I just be Bella? I plucked my napkin from my lap and dropped it on the table and ran up the stairs. I heard him yell after me but I was too hurt to listen to his excuses I grabbed my laptop off our bed and went to a room across the house and locked it tight. Edward could wait till' the morning, when I could look him in the eye. I sat my laptop on the bed and went to the bathroom. I washed my face with water and looked into the mirror. All my life I looked for acceptance and to know I couldn't get that from my own husband hurt. Yes we had gotten married only a couple hours after we met but still he was my husband.
As I looked at my reflection I finally saw myself. The girl who wanted to be loved, the girl who wrote about happily ever after but never believed it would happen for her, the girl who was stupid enough to fall for a man she had nothing in common with. Tears started rolling down my face, I did my best to keep from letting the sobs rack through my body. After a couple hours I woke up on the bathroom floor the lights where still off and the house was silent. My stomach began to growl, I didn't get to eat much of my dinner. I pulled myself up and padded over to the door I pressed my ear agents it till I was sure he wasn't waiting outside. I unlocked the door and made my way to the kitchen…
