Hushed Secrets
Chapter 7
It's been two months since I've moved to Seattle with my brother and Jasper.
They had to go back earlier, since they were in classes and I didn't have the OK yet to leave home.
I was currently the cook and house keeper.
Edward had a busy class schedule and was also volunteering at a local shelter, for women and their children. I went with him at times, it felt good to give back and help out, even if it was with homework.
Jasper, he was busy with classes and baseball. He was the starting pitcher and was being scouted by some teams already. I just made sure everything ran smooth in the house and kept the boys inline.
I'll be starting school next semester, and I can't wait. It'll be nice to start learning again and not be home all the time.
"Bella, you really need to start using the weight room." Edward teased.
"Screw you Eddie boy!" I stuck my tongue out at him. This has been his joke since I moved in here, especially if I was eating my ice cream.
"Leave her alone Edward, she's beautiful just the way she is." Jasper snapped at him.
"It's OK, it's how we joke. You know that." I said as I kissed his cheek.
"It's not OK! I'm tired of hearing it!" he snapped at me. Edward jumped up and got between us.
"Bells, go to your room." Edward said calmly, I followed his request, and Jasper had been acting weird the past few days.
An hour later Edward is calling and saying the pizza is here and Jasper is nowhere to be found.
"Uh, what happened?" I asked.
"Jasper is letting off steam in the weight room, I ordered pizza and he'll be up soon. He's got a lot on his plate and he's just stressed." Edward sighed.
"And he plans on sharing this with me, when?" I asked.
"He will, but its Jasper." He shrugged.
It has been two weeks and Jasper is still quite moody, I've taken to sleeping back in my room, I can't deal with his late nights practice and homework and to top it all off, he keeps ignoring me when I ask him what's wrong. We haven't even made love in two weeks, that really pisses me off. Just a peck here and there.
Edward and I went to Jasper's game on Wednesday night and sat behind the dugout as usual.
We knew a few of the people sitting around us, but one lady really stood out. She had on a grey pant suit and had her laptop with her. I just shrugged to myself and concentrated on the game. Jasper was on fire tonight, he almost pitched a complete no hitter, it was awesome. The team won 6 to 0, he was the star of the game.
We waited on the benches, as everyone left, knowing Jasper always showered after the game. But, what happened next, threw us for a loop and me running for the car.
The dressed up lady walked onto the field, hugged Jasper and kissed him on the cheek. Jasper was all smiles, none of his stress from the past few weeks was there, she made it all go away. I was pissed and I'd be going away soon as well, he just didn't know it yet. Edward stayed behind, long enough to punch him and then driving us home.
I ran into my room and locked the door, into my bathroom, locked the door, stripped down and sat in the shower and cried.
I sat there until the water ran cold, then I laid in bed and cried myself to sleep.
Jasper was fucking cheating on me and right in public! How fucking humiliating!
I heard him knocking on the door later in the night, but ignored him and cried myself to sleep again.
I should have known better than to give my heart to someone again, especially so soon.
