Return to Forks
Chapter 7
BPOV
I awoke in my bed at home.
Jasper asleep in my rocking chair.
I tried to sit up and gasped at the pain.
"Bella, what are you doing?" he asked.
"Trying to sit up." I winced.
Jasper ran over to my side and helped me sit up.
"Would you like some water or food?" he asked.
"I'd love some water and soup. I don't think I can actually chew anything right now." I smiled.
"O.K., I'll be right back." he smiled back.
I sat there for a few minutes before I realized I had to pee. Shit, I couldn't move, how was this going to happen.
Jasper came back in with a tray.
"Um, is Sue or anyone else here?" I asked.
"Oh, no sorry. They're still packing up Sue's house and asked if I'd sit with you." he smiled.
"Um, I need to go to the bathroom, could you help me to the bathroom?" I asked, blushing.
"Would you like to shower while you're there? It's been a couple of days or I can run you a bath." Jasper blushed now.
"Um, actually that sounds great. I feel grimy. Um a bath would be to hard, I'll eat my soup first and then if you'll just get my stuff together and help me in there and unwrap me I should be O.K., but you'll have to rewrap me after." I smiled.
"No problem." he squeaked out.
I instructed him on what to get out for me, I had him get pajama bottoms and a tank top for me, I finished my soup and he just carried me to the bathroom, standing me inside the shower.
I showered and dried off as quickly as possible, I couldn't dry my hair, washing was painful enough, I'd have to ask for Jasper's help.
I walked out and he stood up from my bed with a fresh wrap.
"After you do that, can you dry and brush my hair, please. It hurts to bad." I smiled.
He wrapped me up and helped me to bed.
He sat behind me brushing my hair.
"Jasper, would you like to watch a movie or something, I'm not really tired right now." I smiled at him.
"That would be great." he smiled back.
We ended up watching old classics all afternoon and falling asleep, until we woke up to giggling.
"Bella, we've got an audience." Jasper whispered in my ear.
I went to sit up and cried out in pain, causing Jasper to grab my arms and coo to me, that everything would be fine.
Felix and Alice came into the room all smiles.
"So does this make you two a couple?" Alice asked.
"Alice!" Felix chastised.
"What? I'm asking a perfectly honest question." she smiled.
"No, we're not a couple." Jasper sighed.
Rose was glaring at me from the bedroom door and stormed away.
"Felix, can I get my pain medicine please, I think it's time." I gave a small smile.
The next few days passed in relative quiet, everyone went back and foorth between our place and Sue's to get her and Seth's things and I was able to move a little on my own, so I could at least go to the bathroom and such, so they just made sure I had snacks and drinks before they left.
Before we knew it, it was time to go back to school.
I now had 3 brothers protecting me.
Seth was worse than the others, even though he was a few months younger, he was still in the same grade as Felix and I.
They felt I needed an escort to every class.
Jasper and I stole glances at each other throughout the day, but I just wasn't attracted to him in that way, he was sweet and nice, but he didn't do it for me.
When lunch time came, Alice drug me to the table and said the guys would bring enough food for all of us.
We sat at the far end, Felix sitting by her, Seth across from me, everyone else filling in around us, Jasper sat a few down from Seth and stared at me all through lunch, which I tried to ignore, I didn't want to lead him on and I'd already told him as much as well as Alice during Spanish, because she said he wanted to take me out this weekend.
Several weeks had passed and Jasper finally quit staring, he was just brooding now.
I apologized to Alice and Rose was a little friendlier towards me, since I wasn't sending 'mixed signals' his way.
The Cullen's were having a party tonight and I was being forced to go.
Alice had me all dressed up and said we were going to find me a man tonight. I rolled my eyes at her and her crazy thoughts.
She was so in love with Felix that she thought everyone had to be in love.
As we were walking down the stairs we heard yelling from one of the rooms.
"Damn it, they've been doing this for two weeks now. She just needs to leave!" Alice whisper-yelled.
"Who?" I asked confused.
"Tonya." Alice shook her head. "She's been pressuring Edward since Christmas for a ring and he told her she's crazy. He wants to finish high school before he even thinks of that." she smiled.
"How long have they been dating?" I asked.
"On and off since middle school." Alice smiled.
"Holy Shit." I said.
"Yeah, now enough about them, let's get you a man!" she smiled.
