Hushed Secrets

Chapter 12

"Bella." Jasper all but whispered. "Are, you alright." He held out his hand to help me up. "Fine, I'm fine." I snapped out of my little world and felt all the negative roll over me, but quickly pushed it away. I didn't want him to know I even remotely cared for him. "Where's your keeper." I snapped. "Huh, funny I should ask you the same." He replied.

"Sam is NOT possessive or controlling or think he's better than anyone else." I snapped. "Oh, really? That's why he told me to stay clear of you if I valued my life?" he chuckled humorlessly. "Pfffttt… Sam has no claim over me, he knows that. "I laughed. "Oh, so you want me then?" he quirked a smile. "What? No!" I shouted, causing passer-bys to look our way.

"So what does that make you two?" he asked. "It makes us a couple with no delusions of what will happen once he leaves for California." I shrugged. "Oh, so he's a fuck buddy." Jasper snapped. "You know what Jasper? You have NO right to come back here and act like you're all high and mighty and have some kind of claim on me. Go back to your little bitch and leave me alone." I snapped and jogged off, not wanting him to see me cry, yet again.

I hadn't seen Jasper since that day and I kept it to myself, not wanting Rose to castrate him, like I knew she would. Things between Sam and I were strained, Emmett finalized the deal and he'd be moving in less than a month to get everything started. He was upset I wouldn't even consider the move, but I was open and honest with him. I cared for him a great deal, but I wasn't IN LOVE with him.

Sam gave me a hug and kiss on top of the head. "I've enjoyed my time with you Bella. Take Care." And he walked out. That was two weeks ago. Luckily Jasper and she-witch had left a couple days ago, Jasper's break was over and she had to get back to doing nothing.

The next few months went by rather slowly.

School was going good, Olivia was growing like a weed and learning so fast, it took all my energy to keep up with her. Rose had her spoiled beyond belief and wanted to start her in modeling… Her and Edward recently found out they couldn't have children, so she was determined Olivia be spoiled. I nixed the modeling, but agreed to let her be the face of Alice's new clothing line she was developing. "Ally" was going to be for girls ages 5-12 and was tasteful, yet cute girl clothes. Alice could take her the days she'd need her and I wouldn't have to miss school or teaching.

Emmett and Rose had talked me into going to one of Jasper's games, I reluctantly went, seeing has I hadn't been 'out' since Sam and I broke up. We had seats right behind the dugout and when I asked Rose where she-witch was she laughed and said she didn't come to the games, it's too hot or buggy or anything, but sitting on her ass at home. Rose had laughed.

Jasper came out to practice with the catcher and the catcher was Mike Newton, Emmett told me. Mike had smiled and winked at me, causing Jasper to cuss him out and tell him to pay attention. Emmett and Rose burst out laughing and I wanted to punch them both.

"Jasper has a horrible jealous streak. Especially when y'all aren't even friends, much less dating.' Rose smiled. "Shut it Rose." I snapped.

All was going good, until top of the fifth, Jasper was throwing a perfect game, when all of a sudden, and he went to throw the ball and screamed in pain.

The doctors took him off to the locker room, with all of us following close behind.

We had to wait outside until they were finished, when we were let back, we walked in to Jasper picking up a chair and throwing against the wall and then letting out an excruciating scream.

I tried to walk up to him, but he turned on me and laughed "I don't need your sympathy Bella. Get the hell out!"

Rose looked at me and I ran out the door, I wouldn't let him see me cry.

AN: Sorry this is a crappy chapter, but I wanted something…

Bad migraine.
