Here it is, chapter 22!
I don't own Twilight, I just hear voices in my head. S. Meyers boys' voices that is!
Jasper took his bag and locked his car. He was early, his first class wasn't for another 30 minutes. He wasn't the only one being early, he saw Bella's truck turning into the parking lot. He really didn't feel like another pity party, so he turned and headed for the school. "Jasper! Hang on! Jasper!" Bella got out of her old Chevy and ran to catch up to him. "You're in a hurry. What's the rush?"
He shrugged his shoulders and kept walking. "Jasper Whitlock!" his momma's voice rang through his head. "That is not a way to treat a lady, and certainly not how I raised you!" With a deep sigh he stopped and turned around to face her. "Hey Bella, how are you?" She smiled at him. "I'm good, but how are you?"
It had been over two weeks since the kiss, since his accident. A week since he got out of the hospital. Jasper knew he should stop feeling sorry for himself, they'd only just met when it happened. It's not like they were really dating. "Fine Bella, I'm just fine!" He said, a little harsher than he had meant. "Sorry, I'm just frustrated." He sighed again and resumed walking.
"Yeah I get that." Bella said. "You know what I really don't get, is Alec. Weeks he doesn't give Edward the time of day, treats him like shit from what I understand. And now all of a sudden he's there, being all sweet and caring. And Edward just sucks it up, acts like it was never different!" She ranted. Jasper really didn't want to hear it. "Please Bella, I so do not want to talk about Alec. Can we discuss something else?"
They had reached the school's entrance and he held open the door for her. "Well, we could talk about school I guess. I hear Angela's dating Tyler. I was a little surprised by that. I mean Angela's sweet and a little shy. Tyler is just, well Tyler I guess." "Yeah, sorry Bella, I don't mean to be rude, but I'm not really up for school ground gossip either. I'm just going to go do some reading for English. I'll see you at lunch."
Bella stared at him as he walked away. I liked the girl and all, but all that chit-chat was driving him up the wall. He just wanted to be alone. He went to his now favourite spot on school. All the way at the back was a stairwell no-one ever used. He sat down on the stairs and took out his book. After reading half a page he put it back down.
"Who am I kidding. Fuck!" It wasn't Bella and her chit-chat. He was going out of his mind thinking about Alec taking advantage of Edward's memory loss. And it wasn't going to change by just moping about it. "I have to do something, and fast!" He stood up and left the stairwell. "But not before first period calculus." he thought when he saw the clock in the hall.
.
When he entered the biology classroom Alec was already there, talking to Lauren. Jasper gave him a once-over. "He isn't all that impressive to be honest." he thought. The guy was shorter than him, and a bit skinny. "I could definitely take him on!" Alec noticed him staring. He leaned into Jasper and whispered in his ear; "I feel flattered, but my hands are full of Edward at the moment." He pulled back and smirked, before returning his attention back to Lauren.
Jasper felt the anger rising throughout his body. He clamped his hands together in an effort to keep them from beating Alec to a pulp. He quickly sat down in his seat nest to Jessica. The girl started talking the minute he sat down. She was usually annoying, but today she sounded like a little woodpecker pecking away at his brain. He definitely needed to do something fast, or he wouldn't be able to keep himself together.
.
When the bell announced lunch-hour, Jasper picked up his bag and left class quickly. He planned on eating lunch outside. Maybe a little fresh air would calm him down. When he left the building he heard his name. "So Jasper, are you stalking me now? I'd have to say it's a little pathetic. Can't get Masen so you stalk after me?" Jasper could no longer control the rage racing through his veins. "I'd be really careful if I were you Alec.!" He warned. "Ooooh, I got the little sissy boy angry. What do you plan to do? Scra..."
Before Alec could finish his sentence, Jasper's fist hit his jaw. "You filthy little dickhead! The way you're using Edward disgusts me!" Another fist hit Alec's face, this time against his cheekbone. "Jasper!" Mike called out. He took hold of Jasper from behind. Holding his arms so he couldn't lash out again. "Let go of me Mike!" he struggled. He fought himself free and rushed to his car, forcibly bumping into Alec's shoulder as he passed.
"Fuck!" he shouted as he jerked his car door open. He got in, started the car and took off.
Go Jasper!
Hope you enjoyed reading that as much as I enjoyed writing that! Let me know by reviewing!
