A/N:sorry for the wait. As always I do not own twilight I don't even own any twilight movies. Hope you enjoy the chapter things are about to get interesting. Thank you for all your support.
I woke up to fingers curling in my hair and arms wrapped around my neck. She was half asleep with a small smile on her face.
"Bells, time to get up." I whispered into her hair tighten my grip around her. She giggled and hugged me tighter.
"No, bed comfy" she said without opening her eyes. Her legs were tangled up with mine and I needed her to get off of me before things got awkward.
"Come on it's the fourth." I said a little louder and tried to move her.
"Fine" She pouted as she got up. Her hair was a mess on top of her head. My shirt was falling off her shoulder. I could get use to waking up to that sight. She made a nervous smile. "I'm a mess I know." She jumped off the bed ran to the bathroom. I heard her turn the shower on so I knocked on the door.
"Hey I'm going to go up to the trailer." I said. As I got into the trailer Emmett was on the couch eating cereal.
"Hey man, how's Bells?" He said as I joined him. "Hung over?"
"Not really, she didn't want to get up." I didn't really want her to get up.
"Yeah I'll tell him, thanks I'll have him call Charlie." Rose said as she came out of their room with a small robe tied around her. She waved at me as she poured some coffee as mom kept talking to her. "Love you too. Okay I'm hanging up now. Bye. I love you." She came over and fell into Emmett's lap.
"That was mom, apparently dub U called you need to be at the school for training camp by the 7th." She said poking Emmett in the chest.
"They said the 17th I swear." He started to pout a little.
"Well they just called your parents and let them know it changed. You have to be there or forfeit your scholarship. Your parents are calling the airline and changing our tickets now. I said you'd call them when you woke up." She got up and went back to her room to start packing.
"Shit, well let's at least enjoy today. We'll probably have to head back in a couple of days." Emmett whined as he followed her. The back door opened as Emmett slammed the bedroom door.
"What are they fighting about now?" She asked still wearing my clothes but with wet hair. She went to pour some coffee in a cup and sat down at the table.
"The college called, Emmett has to be there by the 7th or lose his scholarship. " She looked upset so I went and wrapped my arms around her. "So we're going to enjoy our last day here okay?"
"I guess, just sucks I thought we had at least another week." She whispered into her coffee cup.
"I know darlin, now go get changed so we can get a move on the day." I ordered as I left to go back to the shack. As I left I heard Bella call her dad and started talking to him.
This was great, my last day with her. I can't believe our luck. I quickly changed and marched back in the house to see Bells sitting on the couch in a white dress. She had little red sandals tied around her feet.
"You look nice darlin." I said as I sat down next to her she grabbed my hand and laid her head on my shoulder.
"Can't I stay here with you? Please, I'll cook and clean." She whispered to me. I kissed the top of her head and squeezed her hand.
"If only darlin, but I think Charlie would say no." I said. "Besides it's our senior year. You'll have fun I promise."
"Not without you." She was in a sad mood.
"Let's go." Rose yelled jangling my truck keys as she walked out the front door.
I got up and held my hand to her and she took it. We drove out to the docks and I just picked Bella up this time to put her on the boat. It went a lot better than trying to convince her to get in. She giggled and yelled but was happy to not have to get on herself.
"Let's go to that island papa use to take us to." Rose said as she went below to start making some sandwiches for lunch.
I drove us to the island and we ate on the boat. After a while the girls decided to swim to the beach. Bella bathing suit today should be made illegal. It was strapless and had a circle between her large chest. It was like a bug zapper. All look at me I'm so pretty don't you want to get you're dead. My sister is punking me.I grabbed Rose's arm after Bella got into the water.
"What the hell is that thing." I hissed at her. Rose looked and laughed.
"I don't know she picked it out herself, that one has nothing to do with me." She got out of my hold a jumped into the water.
"You let her out of the house in that thing." I half yelled at Emmett who was still below eating some chips.
"I have no control on what she wears, I do know she hide that one from Charlie." He laughed as he got up. "Dude relax it's our last day here try to enjoy it." We went onto the deck as the girl walked up to the beach. Bella had towed a raft with some drinks and a couple of towels. They set up under a tree on the beach and lay down in the sun.
"You want to go bug them or fish?" I asked as I opened up one of the seats to get the fishing gear out.
"I've learned to let them be when they go off like that. Probably plotting our deaths or some shit like that." Emmett said as he grabbed a pole. We fished for a couple hours while the girls tanned and swam then tanned again. We put our gear up and we swam over to them.
"About time you joined us." Rose said as she wrapped her arms around her bear.
"How was the fishing?" Bells said as I sat down next to her. I shook my head splashing the water from my curls unto her. She laughed and hit my shoulder.
"Decent. You excited about tonight?" I asked as I lay down to dry out in the sun.
"What do you have planned?" She lay down and propped her head up with her hand. I did the same so I could look at her pretty face and try to avoid looking at the sinful body she had. This summer has been kind to her, she seemed to glowed. Her pale skin was almost golden now making her freckles more apparent.
"Jas?" She said nudging me back to reality.
"Go to that restaurant for dinner then watched the fireworks from the middle of the lake." I smiled I hope she'd enjoy it.
"That sounds really nice." She rolled back on her back and stretched out those impossible long limbs. Her dark hair had lighten a few shades from the sun and made a halo around her as she laid down.
"Hey bro can you drop us off at the restaurant, Emmett and I are going to go that under twenty one club for a concert." Rose said with a wink and she started swimming back to the boat. Bella and I gathered everything back unto the little float raft and swam it back to the boat. Once we were back on the boat the girls went down stairs to change and I drove the boat to the restaurant. When we got there they came back up and Rose and Emmett hopped off to tie the boat down.
"Now Bells I can't carry you off, can you manage getting off by yourself?" I said as I killed the engine and locked everything up. She smiled uneasy and manage to get on the dock without help. Rose and Emmett waved as they walked off towards the club as Bella and I went inside the restaurant. We sat by a window and watched the sunset as we ate.
"It's so pretty here I don't want to leave." She whispered as she sipped some water. She was looking out at the lake. Even though she was just across from me she looked like she was a two thousand miles away. I reached forward and touched her cheek to turn her head back at me.
"Hey, darlin. I promise we can come back every summer." I whispered at her without taking my hand from her face. She blushed and took her eyes off mine. She looked back up with a smile and biting her lip.
"Promise." We had a small laugh and she said we should probably head out to the boat. I paid our ticket and joined her on the dock. She held out her arms and waited for me to pick her up. I shook my head but did what she wanted. My arms grazed the back of her thigh though her dress it sent chills to my spine. She laughed as we step unto the boat.
"When does the show start?' She asked unfolding a blanket from the cabin. She laid it out near the back of the boat. She grabbed a couple of the dry towels and put them on it like a pillow.
"About five minutes." I killed the engine and dropped the anchor so we wouldn't float away. She had already laid down on the blanket so I joined her. She immediately went to lay on my chest. My arm went across her middle. We heard the show started and the sky filled with lights and color. Bella grabbed my hand and I could feel her flinch slightly with every boom.
"Hey darlin, I'm here, nothing can hurt you." I whispered into her ear as I squeezed her hand and kissed the top of her head. She sighed and relaxed against my chest as the firework continued above us.
"I like the blue ones. They aren't as loud they make a cool crackling sound." She said pointing to the latest one that lit the sky.
"I don't know, I'm a fan of the old school gold ones, the ones that sound like a cannon."She tickled my side and called me a punk.
Once the show was over we picked up our sibling from the dock to bring them home. We had to pack so they could leave in the morning. Once we got to the dock we left out I had Emmett go get my truck and bring it to the water so I could get the boat back in storage. Bella and Rose got everything off the boat and waited for us on the shore. The boat was loaded and we headed to the house, everyone took a shower and then got into pajamas. I heard Rose bitching from her room about having too much to pack. I helped Bella take her bags out to the car. She decided since tomorrow they would be mostly driving she's just wear her pajamas all day.
"I don't want to leave." She said as I slammed the trunk down. I wrapped my arms around her.
" I know darlin. I wish I could go with you tomorrow but I have to make sure the trailer is locked up for the winter and then go pick up that bull." I heard her sob a little so I walked her into our little shack. I picked her up and she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"I know I just miss you and papa and everything. This has been the best summer of my life."She was bawling into my neck as I laid her down and spooned myself around her body.
"I'm sorry darlin, I promise I will back before you even notice I'm gone." I whispered into her hair holding her tightly. She clung to me like she was drowning in her own tears.
"Bella, baby breathe please. Everything is going to be alright. Please darlin calm down." I stroked her back as she slowly calmed down. It was a long few minutes before she calmed down enough to talk.
"I'm sorry I'm ruining our last night together." She sniffled into my chest. I gave her a little squeeze.
"Don't worry, this isn't a good bye. This is more of see you later thing. Just like every summer." I kept stroking her back.
"I hate every summer." She whimpered out. I kept rubbing her back until she relaxed and fell asleep in my arms. I wish I could keep her with me. I'm getting use to having her in my arms as I slept. The next morning was hell. I heard Rose barking orders at Emmett outside. Then her banging on our door demanding I release Bella.
"Go away" I yelled as I held her tightly to me. She woke up and returned my tight hug.
"Guess I have to go." She said as she got out of the bed. I took a minute to memorize everything about her. The messy hair the bright eyes her small smile.
"Jasper Daniel Whitlock if you do not give me Bella I will make it impossible for you to ever have children." Rose yelled as she continued to bang on the door. Bella laughed as she put on her shoes and opened the door. I followed them outside and walked to Rose car.
"Hurry back home bro, I'm starting to lose it with all these females around." Emmett said as he fist pumped and gave me a half hug.
"I'll try man, but I got to help papa out." I said as Rose gave me a big hug.
"I miss you already, you better call me punk." She said as she released my hug and got into the car.
"Please come back soon, and take care of Astrid." Bella held me close and mumbled something into my chest. I kissed the top of her head. "Text me every day, and hurry back."
"I promise darlin." I hugged her one last time and let her get in the car. They drove away taking a piece of my heart with them. I went back into the shack and laid on the bed. It still smelled like her. My phone made the TARDIS noise. I grabbed it and looked at the screen.
I miss you already-bella
I quickly typed out a message.
Missing you more.-jasper.
I walked to the fridge and got the rest of the beer out. I then proceeded to get pissed ass drunk and wallow in our bed. I fell asleep or passed out. It was finally morning and my head was throbbing. I looked at my phone. I had six missed messages.
I really doubt it.-Bella
Thank you for a great summer-bella
Are you there?-bella
Jasper is everything okay-Bella
Asshole check your phone, bells is tripping.-emmett
Please call me when you wake up.-Bella
Shit I called her without looking at the clock. She answered the phone in a tired but excited voice.
"Jasper you're okay I was worried."
"Sorry darling just fell asleep. Don't worry." I said rubbing my eyes.
"I have to go we're boarding the plane, I'll text you when we land." She said in a hurry as she hung up her phone. I got some Tylenol and a bottle of water. I got everything out of the shack and took it up to the trailer. My phone started ringing again it was papa.
"Hey papa" I said as I went though the fridge taking out all the perishables.
"Hey son, just got back from taking them to the airport. That Rosie reminds me of your grams. A spit fire with a heart of gold." He said sounding exhausted.
"She was still mad about leaving early?" I said putting everything in the burn barrel and lighting it.
"A little, but I think she was mostly upset about you leaving thing unresolved between I'm disappointed with you. She's a wonderful girl and its obvious that she loves you, son what are you waiting for?"
"Papa" I stopped I had run out of excuses and time. "I don't know, I think it's just fear now. What happens if we break up, she's my best friend." I fell down into one of the chairs on the porch.
"Do you remember when you got Ciarra?" He asked after a few mintues of silence.
"Yes, she threw off and I dislocated my shoulder." I replied rotating my arm from the memory of it.
"What happen after the hurt?"
"You popped my shoulder back in and I got back on her." I replied.
"Were you scared you'd get hurt?" He asked I could tell he was smiling his old man smile.
"Terrified."
"Then why'd you get back on?" His voice told me he already knew the answer.
I thought for a second and gave him the truth." I was more scared of not getting on and spending the summer missing the ride."
"After the hurt you have to go on or else you could miss something amazing." He said in a very serious tone."Now I've jabbered on long enough make sure you get the boat and trailer locked up before you leave." We said our good byes and hung up and I finished locking the place. I called Mr. Plummer and asked if I could come get the bull. I hitched up the trailer and headed to their farm. When I got there had the bull near the gate.
"Hey son where's that pretty young filly of yours, the wife was looking forward to visiting with her." He helped me lead the bull into the trailer.
"She had to head back early, she left yesterday. How was this young Romeo?" Hoping we could switch topics.
"From what I saw I should more than half a dozen calfs in the spring. He was a very busy boy."
"I'm glad he worked out for you. Well I need to hit the road thank you again for taking care of him for me." We shook hands and I got into my truck and looked at my phone.
We landed, its freezing here-bella
I laughed it was probably seventy but after being in this heat it probably felt like thirty degrees.
Just left the plummers they said hi. I'm melting from the heat.-jasper
I threw my phone back in the seat and headed toward the ranch, without Bella next to me it felt like it took another six hours. I finally made it back to the ranch and unloaded the bull and headed into the house.
" are you hungry?" Maria asked as I tried to sneak to my room. I nodded and eat something while she asked about the trip. Papa came in and asked about the Plummers, I told him how it went. He reminded me that vacation was over, we start early in the morning. Finally I was able to make it upstairs to my room and collapsed on my bed. I spent a few hours tossing and turning until I heard my phone go off.
Can't sleep. My pillow is in Texas.-bella
Sorry, I'll look for it tomorrow and mail it to you.-jasper
I didn't remember her bring a pillow but I'll asked Maria tomorrow. My phone made the worp worp noise again.
Didn't know you could fit in mailboxes.-bella
Lol, sorry bells. Tried to get some sleep darlin.-jasper
Nighty night-bella
I smiled as I tried to fall asleep. I looked at the clock and saw it was four am; I gave up and got dressed. Going down stairs I started my chores for the day and took Ciarra for a ride. The sun started coming up and I stilled Ciarra as I watched it. I rubbed her mane and she snickered. Papa was right if I had been too scared to get back on I would miss this. As soon as I see her next I'm kissing her and telling her everything. To hell with what if.
