Chapter 21
"Jasper" said Alice as they got into the other car.
"Yes Alice" said Jasper
"I don't like Edward and Bella's new found relationship" said Alice.
"Why not?" asked Jasper
"Because, I feel like I'm not as important to Edward anymore" said Alice sadly.
Jasper took Alice into his arms
"It's ok Alice" said Jasper. "They are just amused by the fact that they get to talk to each other mentally."
"I guess" sighed Alice. "I mean, I like that they are getting along but I just feel left out."
As Jasper held Alice in his arms and then he got a text that read:
B: Hey cowboy, your mine tonight ;) xoxo – B
Smiling, Jasper replied:
J: Thanks darling but I think I'm gonna stay with Alice tonight. Xoxo – J
Then they started texting back and forth.
B: WHAT? Why?
J: Because she needs me right now
B: I need you too
J: Yes I know that but she just needs someone to talk to right now and someone to make her feel better.
B: So you'd rather be with your ex-wife than be with your girlfriend.
J: I don't mean it to sound that way darlin but I'm sorry.
B: No don't call me darling! BYE JASPER!
J: Bella, please don't be like that.
…
J: Bella…
Silence….
"So Jasper would rather stay with Alice tonight than be with me." Said Bella sadly.
"I'll stay with you" said Edward. "If you'd like" said Edward opening his arms up to Bella.
"Thank you Edward" said Bella leaning into his arms. "I'm glad that I have you to fall back on."
"Same here" said Edward.
"What are you two mentally talking about back there" said Emmett.
"Jasper ditched Bella tonight to keep Alice company" said Edward.
"Well that's stupid" said Emmett.
"Jasper really can't be that retarded" said Rosalie.
"Apparently he is" said Bella sadly.
"Cheer up Bella, it will be ok. We'll have a girls day when we get to Voltera." Said Rosalie.
"Thanks Rosalie." Said Bella.
"Bella your family. You can call me Rose if you'd like." Said Rosalie
"Thanks Rose" said Bella smiling.
So they arrived in Voltera and were greeted by the Volturi. Bella, Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, and Alec were the first to arrive.
"Isabella" greeted Aro. "I'm so glad that you made this decision." And he opened his arms for a hug as did Caius.
So Bella hugged Aro then Caius.
"If you don't mind" said Bella "I'd really like to be shown to my room."
"Of course Isabella" said Aro "Yours and Jasper's room is right this way"
"Umm…is it ok if I have a separate room from Jasper?" asked Bella
"May I ask why Isabella" said Aro.
"Jasper wants to be with Alice tonight instead of me his mate so instead I want my own room from him because I am not talking to him." Said Bella.
"As you wish" said Aro. "Alec, take her to her room."
"Yes, Aro" said Alec. "Right this way Bella" said Alec extending his arm out for Bella.
"Thank you Master Aro" said Bella. And Bella took Alec's arm and they walked to her room.
"You are in the east wing right next to me" said Alec.
"Right next to you" said Bella smiling.
"Is that a problem?" asked Alec with a smile.
"No, it's fine" said Bella.
"Good so where is my room? Asked Edward.
"You may have the room across the hall from Bella." Said Alec.
"What about Jasper?" asked Bella.
"I believe they just arrived and I will put Jasper in the west wing of the castle." Said Alec.
"Thank you Alec" said Bella as she hugged him.
And then the others arrived and entered the castle.
