Amazing
Chapter 6
After I called Edward to tell him that I'd enjoy spending more time with him, he immediately made plans for the weekend.
And that's how our relationship began.
It was Spring Break and we were all going to go to Texas.
We were going to South Padre Island and we all hoped Jasper would show, if we made the effort to come there.
I was a little nervous because I knew he'd be pissed about Edward and I.
Hell, Emmett was pissed and Edward was his best friend.
We reserved a condo and had a great time.
Rose called Jasper and asked him to at least meet us for dinner one night, but he said he was to busy.
I felt bad, because I knew he wasn't coming because of me.
"Hey, I'm going to fly home for a couple of days and see dad, that way Jasper can at least have time with you guys. I feel bad he can't even see his family." I shrugged.
"Bells, you can't go to Forks. Jake's out now and I'm sure he'd just love for you to show your face." Edward growled.
"Look, I'm a big girl and I'll be fine." I pressed.
"No! You're not going Bella." Emmett stepped in, glancing at Edward.
"Fine, then I'll just go back to my dorm, no biggie." I shrugged.
"Bells, that's not fair to you either." Rose shook her head.
"Really, I'll be fine. I've got a huge paper due in a few weeks anyways." I smiled.
"Fine. But I'm not happy about this." Edward pouted.
"I'm sorry." I hugged him.
The next morning I bid my family and friends farewell and headed back to school.
JPOV
I can't believe she left, so I could see my sister and cousin.
If I wasn't dating Maria I would have went with them, but I didn't know how they'd take it.
I met my friends and family for lunch and introduced them to Maria.
They were polite, but I could tell they were pissed, especially Edward.
"So, you have to send Bella away, just to bring your new girlfriend around? That's so not fair, dude! My girlfriend had to leave, just to bring yours around!" he shouted.
I sat there in shock for a moment and all eyes were on me, while it registered.
"What? Bella is with you now?" I spat.
"Yes she is! And it's wonderful!" Edward spat back.
"Fuck you Edward. We all know you've had the hots for her and vice-versa. She was probably with me, because you were taken by Alice." he shouted, causing people to stare.
"Look guys, stop! You've both moved on, drop it." Alice whisper shouted.
"I'm done." Edward stood up and walked out.
"Sorry. We shouldn't have came." I stood up to leave, but Rose put her hand on mine.
"You and Maria don't have to leave, but it would have been nice if you told us about her." my sister smiled.
We finished lunch with little talk.
I hugged everyone goodbye and told them I'd keep in better touch.
The next three years would have plenty of ups and downs.
Here it was graduation day.
I looked out to see my family and friends, everyone but Bella.
I thought about her often, she still held a special place in my heart, I'll never forget the first time I laid eyes on her in the Forks High parking lot, her bandaged wrist and the ordeal she had to go through that year.
"Jasper Whitlock" my name being called startled me out of my daydream.
I walked across the stage, stopped and smiled, my family and friends yelling and clapping.
Finally the day was over and we all headed to dinner.
During dinner I pulled Rose outside with me while I grabbed a smoke.
"Shit Jasper! When did you start that?" she smacked me.
"Last summer Rose. It's been really tough and they help me calm down. But I need to ask you something so please…" I begged.
"If it's about Bella, I'm not answering. She's going through a rough patch right now and is just awaiting graduation, so she can move." she stated.
"What kind of rough patch?" I asked, already pissed.
"None of your business! You disregarded her and now Edward has, so she's moving away and I'll leave it at that." Rose snapped.
"Rose, don't." I grabbed her arm and stopped her. "What the hell happened?" I asked.
"Look, you left her and gave her no closure, Edward broke up with her at the beginning of this year, saying he was tired of her crap. She's apparently been having nightmares ever since Jake showed up at her dorm last summer, while we were all in Florida." Rose held back a sob.
"What? Why wasn't I told about this?" I shouted.
"Why would we tell you? All you care about is Maria, fuck, you don't even call, unless I guilt you!" she was crying and right then the door opened to a very angry looking Emmett.
"What the hell Jasper?" he asked.
"Rose just told me about Bella, I'm sorry man." I said.
"Whatever. She's too good for any of you. Leave her alone!" he growled and led Rose back inside.
What the fuck!
I was so confused it wasn't even funny. Why was I feeling so many emotions right now.
I put out my cigarette and stood outside for a few more minutes before walking back in, just in time for dessert and for Maria to stand up and say "Jasper, everyone, I'm pregnant." FML!
BPOV
Ever since last summer, I can't get over the feeling of being watched.
I'm always paranoid and all Edward and I did was fight after that, because I was to scared to go anywhere.
Our last fight was the worst.
"You know Bella, you can't hide for the rest of your life. If Jake wants to find you, he will.
I can't handle the sitting inside shit all the time. I care for you, but after that happened, you don't want to do anything. Hell, you won't even make love to me anymore! We've dated for two years and this seriously sucks! I'm tired of it, I'm done. Sorry." he said as he slammed the door.
I guess it wasn't technically a fight, considering I just sat in the chair and stared at him, tears streaming down my face.
I didn't call and tell anyone, they'd know soon enough, I'm sure.
I was brought out of my downward spiral from the phone ringing.
"H-hello?" I answered.
"Bella. Hey! We missed you today sis!" Emmett yelled into the phone.
"Do you mind turning the volume down a notch Em, I'm not feeling well." I stated.
"What's the matter sis?" he asked concerned.
"Same 'ole, same 'ole Em." I cried.
"Oh sis, I'm sorry. I'll be there next week to watch you graduate and then I'll be helping you move, we'll have the entire summer together, well, 3 weeks at least." Emmett said.
"3 weeks? I thought you were staying longer?" I pouted.
"Well, I was going to wait until I saw you, but I got drafted to the Denver Broncos." Emmett sighed.
"Oh my God! Emmett, that's wonderful! At least you'll be kind of close." I shouted.
"Yeah and Rose is of course coming with me. I'm asking her to marry me after your graduation. You are the only 2 who know, so keep it that way, about the draft and you're the only one who knows about the engagement." he chuckled to himself.
"Wait, so does Rose know where I'm moving to? I mean, I love all of them, but I just need me time." I sighed.
"Yeah, sorry sis. But she is keeping it to herself, even though it's killing her. Alice is busting at the seems to know. You do know she's moving to California too, right? She got signed on with Vera Wang." Emmett said.
"Yeah, I know and after I get settled, I'll contact her. I just want to start my life off, .OWN." I stressed.
"I get it, I get it!" Emmett laughed.
"Well, go have fun and I'll see you next week. Tell dad I love him too." I said.
"Love ya sis! Take care." and the phone clicked.
Alice had e-mailed me a few weeks ago telling me she'd sent her transcripts and portfolio to every high class designer in the states and several of them wanted her, but she picked Vera Wang, she always loved Vera.
I had been recruited by MFA architects in LA as well, so I know we'd see each other soon. I just had to get myself together before I told anyone bedsides my family.
I had already flew out and got an apartment at Broadcast Center Apartments. They were pricey, but they were safe and recommended by my employer, luckily they had one that would be available by the time I moved.
All I was taking was my clothes, I'd have to furnish it when I got there.
It was a nice one bedroom with a loft and a patio. I was making the loft into my office/guestroom.
I sighed and got up from my desk, opting for bed.
Finally graduation.
I was so happy to see everyone, even though Edward kept his distance with his new girlfriend.
I just ignored him and spent time with my family and friends, everything was going great, until Emmett let it slip "Man, we talked to Jasper the other day and he says Maria is the meanest pregnant woman he's ever known, he said she…" Emmett didn't get a chance to finish before Rose smacked him upside the head.
"Wh-What?" I asked.
"Shit, sorry Bells. I didn't mean for it to come out." he bowed his head.
I excused myself from the table and asked for no one to follow me.
I walked to the bathroom and sat in the lounge area and cried.
Jasper was going to be a dad. I couldn't even fathom that, I felt like part of me had been torn out, I know I was crazy for still feeling that way for him, but I did.
The door opened and in walked Esme.
"Bella, I'm so sorry sweetie." she hugged me.
I just held her and cried.
"Please Esme, just don't tell anyone." I cried.
"Bells, I think they'll know." she pointed to the door and Alice and Rose were standing there.
They walked over and gave me a hug too.
"Bells, it'll be O.K., there are other fish in the sea." Rose whispered in my ear, I just nodded.
"We're here for you Bella, you know that." Alice smiled at me.
"Yeah, thanks. I know. I love you guys." I hugged them all.
"Dry your face and lets get dessert." Esme smiled.
I nodded and washed my face and went back to the table.
Emmett stood up to hug me, but I waved him away, Edward looked at me and the pity in his eyes was too much.
"You know, I don't think I can eat anymore. I'm just going to take a cab back to my dorm." I stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
Once back in my room, I laid on my bed and cried myself to sleep.
I was pretty much a zombie when my dad, Emmett and Rose arrived the following day.
"Snap out of it Bella, you're going to start a new life, in a new city and you're going to have fun and meet new people, men!" Rose laughed.
"I know Rose, but that news shook me up. Here I am 23 and single. The longest relationship I had was with a guy who beat me. What the hell?" I shrugged.
"Bella, it'll get better. I promise." Rose hugged me and then went back to helping me pack.
Once we were done, Rose and Emmett took the boxes to UPS to be shipped.
My dad I cleaned the room and took my bags I was taking with me to the rental car.
By the time we finished, Rose and Em were back, we went to dinner before heading to the airport.
The flight was long, but I read, while everyone else slept.
When we finally arrived at the apartment, I felt a little more peaceful and smiled.
"See, this will be good for you." Rose hugged me.
I wandered around the apartment, happy to see it as a blank slate.
And even happier that my apartment overlooked the pool and city, not the parking lot and that I was up 10 stories wasn't so bad either.
I went out shopping with Rose, the guys were hanging out in the empty apartment, they said they might go to the store, since there wasn't any food either.
Rose and I found an awesome furniture store and bought everything from there.
It was all going be delivered in the afternoon, so we'd have to stay in a hotel for the night.
We went home and told Emmett and dad the good news.
We showed them pictures of everything and Rose and I talked about layout of everything before leaving for the night.
We opted for 2 hotel rooms, so Emmett and Rose could have their own.
The next morning we ate breakfast before arriving back to my apartment.
Rose was marking where all the furniture went, so it was easier for the moving guys.
By 5pm, we had everything put up and just had to make my bed.
Rose was going to be a fantastic interior decorator, I was her first real project.
She said Alice had called and said she'd be in town in 2 weeks and she wanted Rose there to help her as well.
The following week they were leaving, my firm had asked if I'd start early and I couldn't resist and I knew Emmett and Rose had to get their place together as well, promising they'd be back soon.
The next few months flew by, I was so busy working and trying to impress my bosses, that I didn't realize it was my birthday until I got a card in the mail from my dad.
It was the first time in months that I'd actually stopped and really thought about anything other than work and my stupid thoughts drifted to Jasper.
I decided not to torture myself with those thoughts and went to my loft, I was going to work on some of my designs, I had a few houses I was drawing, one being my dream house, most certainly not here, but for Forks, I missed home and knew I'd go back someday. Jake couldn't haunt me forever. I wouldn't let him.
California was beautiful and sunny and kept me busy, which is what I needed, but it wasn't comfortable and homey.
I received a call from Emmett and Rose and Alice for my birthday and of course Esme and Carlisle.
Alice was begging to know where I was at, I told her I'd see her soon and I was sorry for being so vague.
She pouted of course but said she still loved me.
I finished working on my designs around midnight, before finally crawling in bed.
At around 3am, my phone rang, scaring the crap out of me.
"Hello." I answered sleepily.
"Oh, I'm so sorry I woke you." the voice I longed to here whispered into the phone and I sat straight up in bed.
"W-what, why are you calling?" I asked confused and to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
"I had to wish you a happy birthday. I feel like such an ass for ignoring you all these years. Please, forgive me." he sounded like he was going to cry.
"Jasper, is everything alright?" I asked.
"Bella, just know that I truly did care for you and I'm so sorry for hurting you. Have a happy birthday darlin'" and the phone went dead.
I sat in bed and was shocked for a moment and then started crying.
He still cared for me, he did care for me, whatever the case, I felt like a ton of bricks was lifted off my shoulders, I laid down and fell fast asleep.
I called Rose the next day to let her know what happened and she was surprised.
"That Maria chick is suffocating him! Now that she's got him by the balls with a baby, she doesn't let him do anything. I'm surprised he got to call you." she sighed.
"Well, whatever the reason, I feel so much better Rose, I'm ready to move on. I need to know where Alice eats, I want to surprise her." I smiled.
"Well, I can set up a fake meeting through her work and tell them I want her to meet me for lunch to go over some dresses I'd like made." Rose suggested.
"Perfect! Set it up for tomorrow. I'll be out running to different sites tomorrow, so I can do lunch whenever." I said.
"O.K., I'll text you with the details." she said in a sing song voice.
Later that day I had all the info. for my lunch with Alice, I couldn't wait to surprise her.
I finished work late, I was working on an upgraded design for a house we were building and my one boss James really liked my work.
Sometimes he was creepy, he was the bosses son and older than me by three years, but the way he watched me sometimes, I felt like I was his next victim.
I was in my office when a throat cleared behind me.
I spun around "Oh, hi James. I thought I was the last one here." I smiled.
"Nope, I was finishing the meeting with the Westbrooks for their house in the Hollywood Hills they want redone." he shrugged.
"Oh, yeah, I heard your dad talking about that, it's going to be a huge remodel." I smiled.
"Yeah and I think I'm going to ask him to put you on my team. I love your ideas." he smiled.
"Oh, well thanks." I shrugged.
"How about we grab some dinner and we'll share a cab home. You only live a few floors below me." he smiled.
Hmmm, I never knew that, so he truly does watch me. I decided to give him a chance.
"O.K., but I'm paying for my half of everything." I insisted.
"Sorry Isabella, that's not how a gentleman does it." he smiled and took my hand to kiss it.
"James, it's just Bella." I sighed, I told him every time.
"Yes, but Isabella just fits you even better." He smiled.
I shook my head, I wasn't going to argue with the bosses son.
Dinner was nice, we talked about different projects, about where we grew up, of course he was from California and it showed, he looked like a beach bum, but a very well dressed beach bum and he was actually quite intelligent.
I told him about Forks and he asked if there was anyone special, I could for the first time in a long time answer no, and it was true.
"I'd like to see you again Bella. Outside of work and the stuffy clothes, maybe a nice weekend lunch?" he asked with a smirk.
I agreed to go out with him again, as long as he called me Bella and gave my own smirk.
He accepted and walked me to my apartment.
"You know, I didn't know you lived here until last Saturday. I saw you coming in from your morning jog, I was just coming back from the gym." he smiled.
I felt a little better knowing he wasn't stalking me.
"Yeah, I don't jog everyday, but when I'm stressed or need to think, I do." I shrugged.
"Well, if you ever want a partner, I'm available. I live on the 15th floor." he smiled and kissed my cheek as he walked away.
I know I stood there looking shocked, not by the kiss, but the 15th floor, that was the penthouse and it was suppose to be huge. It took up the entire floor and had the private roof deck.
I went inside and decided on a nice long shower.
I had a lunch date with Alice tomorrow and a soon to be weekend lunch with James.
Maybe he'd be different once we were in a more neutral setting.
I was bouncing off the walls when I woke up.
I couldn't wait until I met Alice for lunch and I made sure I wore an Alice approved outfit, which I kind of had to for work, but still.
I opted for a pair of simple black dress pants with purple pin stripes and a purple halter top and black heels. I had my jacket, but unless I was in a business meeting, I didn't have to wear it. The bosses understood it was hot in California. I pulled my hair into a bun, since I was going to be visiting sites that were under construction, I didn't want my hair all over the place, grabbed my bag, which housed my laptop and headed to work, where I had to pick up the company car to drive, which was a blessing, because I didn't have a car. I'd sold mine when I left college, because I knew I could pretty much take public transportation everywhere or walk.
I walked into the office and noticed the secretary giving me the stink eye, which she's never done before, as were a few other women.
I walked into my office and saw why.
James had sent several dozen flowers to me.
I don't know if they knew they were James or if they were just jealous because I now had a florist shop in my office.
I closed my door and read the card.
Bella~
Thanks so much for a wonderful dinner. I can't wait until our weekend together. You are the most interesting woman I have ever spent time with. Not like these fake bimbos out for just my money, you're truly a genuine person.
Kisses~ James.
I smiled when I read the card.
It was so sweet.
A knock on my door startled me.
"Come in." I said.
"Well, look at this. Someone has a secret admirer.
It was James' dad, Mr. Hunter.
"Good Morning Mr. Hunter, to what do I owe this surprise." I smiled and shook his hand.
"Well, it looks like you've caught my sons attention and for that, I'm truly happy." he smiled and my jaw about his the floor.
"Oh, um, I don't know about that." I shrugged.
"Bella, I see him watching you. He usually will go up to any girl and they fall all over him, but you were different, you are a true young woman, not a bimbo." he smiled and I laughed.
"What?" he looked at me smiling.
"I think your son does see me, like you." I showed him the card and he chuckled.
"Well, if he's learned anything from me, I hope it's about how to treat a woman, his mother and I have been married for 35 years. And I still worship the ground she walks on. Now, I'm not saying my son is perfect, he's had his share of problems with the ladies, but when he really likes someone, he'll give her the world." he smiled and hugged me before walking out the door.
I sat on my couch and just stared for a few minutes.
I slowly stood up and shook my head, hmmm, I might have a chance for love again.
I smiled to myself and pulled out my phone, taking a picture of my office and sending it to Rose.
"OMG! Who and what did you do to get all those?" she text.
"I just went to dinner with James, you know the one I told you about." I wrote back.
"Oh and how did it go? Was he good in bed?" she wrote back.
I dialed the bitch this time.
She picked up laughing.
"I knew you'd call if I said that." she giggled.
"Um you think? Don't let Em see that. He'll be beating his ass before I CAN actually sleep with him." SHIT! I didn't mean to say that.
"Oh, so you are attracted to him?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, he's handsome, rugged looking, it has possibilities." I smiled.
"Good! You need to get laid, it's been almost 2 years." she laughed again.
"Wrong! It's been over 2 years." I corrected her.
"Damn! How do you do it. Wait, no… I don't want to know." she laughed hysterically.
"Love you Rose, gotta go! Kisses to Em." I said and hung up.
I went to several sites before lunch with Alice. I checked my hair and makeup, put on my sunglasses and walked into the restaurant, telling them I had a lunch meeting with Alice Cullen.
They took me to her table where she was frantically texting away.
I cleared my throat to get her attention.
"Sorry. Please have a seat I just need to finish this to my stupid EX." she replied and waved her hand.
"Which one?" I asked and her head whipped up so fast, I thought it might snap off.
"BELLA!" she screamed. "What are you doing here?" she asked still attached to me.
"Um, I'm your lunch date, surprise!" I smiled.
"What?" she looked confused.
"I had Rose set it up… I wanted and needed to see you. We live so close, yet so far." I smiled.
"Why? Where do you live?" she asked.
"Here. I work for MFA architects." I smiled.
"No shit? Really?" she was smiling, then frowned.
"How long have you been here Bells?" she asked.
"Um, longer than you." I put my head down and whispered.
"Look, before you get all pissed, I had to work some things out. Between Jasper and Edward, I was feeling like shit! I just needed me time and to get on my own two feet." I grabbed her hand and squeezed. "I needed to move on and I finally have." I smiled.
She smiled too.
"Well, that text was to Edward. Apparently his girlfriend is pregnant, BUT he doesn't think it's his… He thinks she's been cheating on him." she sighed.
I shook my head.
"Sorry Bells, I know that 2 of them." she smiled sadly.
"That's O.K., I've moved on." I showed her the pictures of the flowers and the card, we talked for two hours.
"Shit, I've got to go, I've got a few more sites to visit, but here's my address and phone number. I can't wait to see you again." I smiled and hugged her.
"Um, Bella? I live in the SAME damn building! How have we missed each other for months?" she asked.
"I don't know. Rose never told me where you lived here, punishment for my not telling you I guess." I laughed.
"Yeah, I'm on the 3rd floor." she smiled.
"Well, nice to know you neighbor, stop by anytime." I smiled as I left.
I finished up the site visits and brought all my notes back to work, to put into a report, I'd been typing for the last 2 hours.
"Working late again Bella?" I jumped when I heard the voice.
"You've got to quit sneaking up on me like that." I pouted.
"You've got to stop pouting or I won't be able to control myself." James smirked.
"So, you working late to?" I asked.
"Yeah, you know, executives son, I have to work twice as hard, to show there's no favoritism." he shrugged.
"Oh, thanks for the flowers today." I smiled.
"Nothing less for you." he smiled and crossed the room to kiss my hand.
"Thank you. Would you like to order pizza with me?" I asked.
"Sure, you're still going to be awhile?" he asked, taking off his tie and unbuttoning his shirt a little.
"Yeah, the Hawking site is a mess. They screwed up the dimensions…" I was saying before he captured me in a kiss a great kiss too.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." he smiled.
I just blushed and said "Um, yeah no problem, so about the pizza…"
It was now Christmastime and James and I had been dating since September and Alice and I were having a blast too.
James' father had put us on the Westbrook home together and I must say our minds thought a lot alike, this house was going to be beautiful.
"So, I think I'm going home for the first time in years, for Christmas, my brother and soon to be sister in law are going to be there because he's got a game in Seattle the day after Christmas and Alice is going home as well." I smiled.
"Oh, I thought we could spend it together? My parents always go somewhere different every year, so I don't spend it with them. Besides, what if that ass Jake shows up or any of his friends." anger flashed in his eyes. He'd been pissed when I told him about that ordeal and showed him the pictures.
"Why don't you come with me? My dad won't mind. Promise." I smiled.
"If you're sure?" he asked.
I nodded and kissed him.
The firm closed down for 2 weeks at Christmas and it was a paid vacation, so James and I were going to Forks, I called my dad to tell him.
"Dad, guess what! I'm coming home this year and I'm bringing James with me." I stated.
"Bells, you know that Jake could show up and what about when he sees you with this James? I mean I want to meet him, the man who made you smile again, but is it worth it?" he asked.
"Yes, it is. I'm not going to let Jake ruin my life and keep me away from my home." I stated.
My dad sighed, knowing I was right, we said our goodbyes and told him I'd call him with the details.
The day we're set to leave, James tells me that he'd taken care of everything and that Alice was flying with us and he'd arranged for a car, so my dad wouldn't have to drive.
We get to the airport, which James had a limo pick us up and I ask where we're going.
"On a plane silly." he laughed.
"Um, we're going the opposite way James." I said.
"I said A plane, I didn't say which one. We're taking my dads jet and there will be a limo at Sea-Tac to take us the rest of the way." he kissed my forehead.
Alice squealed like a little girl, her and James got along good, which made me happy, but the real truth came with my dad and Emmett.
We finally arrive at the house and Emmett and dad come busting out the door, with Rose and Sue shaking their heads.
I stepped out and Dad grabbed me and swung me around while Emmett grabbed Alice.
I introduced everyone to James and my dad and Emmett went in for the kill right away.
Pulling him into the living room, while us girls went to the kitchen.
A little while later, my dad pulled me aside.
"Bells, I think he's an OK guy, just protect yourself sweetie. And you told him about Jake, that was good. He said he'd protect you." dad smiled.
"Yeah, he is a nice guy and his family is great too." I smiled.
We enjoyed a nice dinner and James and I went to bed early, Alice had left to go to her family and see them.
"You know, your brother and dad are pretty good guys." James said as we laid in bed.
"Yeah, they've been through everything with me and are pretty protective, so you did something right, to not have Emmett punch you." I laughed.
We fell asleep fast after that.
I awoke to soft kisses all over me.
"James, it's early babe." I snuggled back under the covers.
"Yeah, but we have to go shopping for your family, remember?" he said in a Duh, voice.
"Yeah, yeah. I'm up." I hopped out of bed and dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.
"Damn, you look sexy in something so simple. I love it." he smiled and kissed me.
"You too, Mr. Grunge." I joked with him.
"Hey, it's not everyday I get to dress down, I enjoy it when I do." he smiled.
Emmett was going shopping too, so we took Rose to Alice's so they could do their version of shopping and left for Port Angeles.
We had a blast shopping together, Emmett and I bought my dad all new fishing supplies and we got Sue a gift card at Target, so she could redo the kitchen, like she was hinting to dad about.
"We need to split up now, so we can get each others gifts." I suggested.
"Uh, sis. No way! You're taking one of us w/ you and then we can switch. I'm not taking any chances." Emmett said.
"I'm with your brother on this one." James smiled.
"No! I'm just going to a few shops, we're all in the same mall, it can't be that dangerous." I snapped.
"Fine, just keep your cell phone handy." Emmett said, I nodded and walked off.
I'd found James a few t-shirts and was looking for Emmett's present when I felt two large hands around my waist, I knew it wasn't James or my brother, I took a deep breath and pushed them off, turning around to see Jake smiling at me.
"So, you finally decided to ditch the A&F model?" he asked.
"What are you talking about?" I asked.
"The one who you pulled up to your house with in a fucking limo." he snapped.
"What part of, stay away from me, don't you understand?" I asked.
"Baby, I'm only getting started. You came back on my turf." he smirked.
"No, I didn't, Forks is my turf, you belong with the rest of your dogs in La Push!" I snapped.
"Bitch, don't get started with me. We both know I can take you down. You're mine, don't you ever forget that." he grabbed my arm and started pulling me.
Luckily, Emmett and James must have finished, because the next thing I know, Emmett grabbed me and James punched Jake in the face.
"Don't you ever fucking touch her again!" James shouted and punched him a second time, before him and Emmett escorted me out and into the car.
"Bells are you OK?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah, just a little shook up and a bruise." I smiled.
"Bruise?" James' head whipped around.
"Yeah." I pulled up my sleeve to see Jakes finger marks across my arm.
"We're taking you to dad and let him decide what to do." Emmett sighed.
Needless to say, dad was pissed and a warrant for Jake was put out.
We went home and I went straight to my room, I needed to rest.
The rest of Christmas break went by fine.
They found Jake and he was processed and let go.
Alice had left before us, because she had meetings to get to, James and I left Christmas night along with Emmett and Rose, we all rode to the airport together in the limo.
When we arrived home, I just crashed, I was worn out.
Thank goodness I had tomorrow off.
