~Chapter Eleven~
Standing in the lunch line, the next day, with Jasper behind me, carrying a tray like I am, he is so close behind me that every time I put something unhealthy on my tray, he picks it up, puts it back, and puts something healthy on it, causing me to glare at him, his tray piled high with junk food and such. "Jasper." My tone is warning.
"You can pick off my tray, darlin. Ain't no sense in two of us having fatty, junk food." He states, paying for both of our meals, causing me to wince, mostly at his words, as we exit the line. Just as we're about to join Alice, Emmett, and Rosalie, I notice Edward and Bella are sitting together, as if in their own little world, which I shatter completely as I set my tray before one of the two chairs, on either side of them, loudly sitting down as Jasper follows.
"Hey, Bella. What'd you get for number seven on today's Spanish pop quiz?" I ask, causing Edward to clench his jaw, rolling his eyes as he sits back.
"Uh. beg your pardon?" She shakes her head as I snicker under my breath.
"Number seven? Pop quiz? Today? Spanish?" I slowly specify. 'Get your head out of Eddywort's ass for a minute, Bells.' I think to myself, I catch Edward's glare. "If you don't like my thoughts, stay out of my head." I snap at him, my eyes are hard, he sighs as I look a Bella expectantly.
"You don't have Spanish." She states, her tone is evidently confused.
"I am disappointed that it took you this long to realize that." I state as I snatch up the plate of chocolate cake from Jasper's tray, along with the fruit roll-up. "Eddy, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't hypnotize my best friend, got it?"
"Hypnotize?" Edward's brow furrows.
"Yeah, just cause you vamps have lovely eyes that can scatter anyone's thoughts if you look at them in a certain way, doesn't mean you can use them on Bell-Bells." I teasingly use the nickname that I came up with, on one of the many days where Bella had given me a ride.
"God, I hate that nickname." Bella groans as I smirk at her.
"Lovely eyes?" Edward is even more confused, causing me to look him in the eyes, my face dead serious.
"Do not screw with Bella's head, or I will screw with yours." I threaten, suddenly he gets a far off look in his eyes, before he blinks, looking at Bella.
"Your friend is nuts." He states, his face is completely serious, causing me to scowl as Jasper punches Edward's arm, glaring.
"That's my soulmate you're talking about!" Jasper snaps.
"Soulmate?" Bella asks.
"We've decided, the phrase boyfriend and girlfriend is too juvenile, especially for something such as this." I motion between Jasper and I. "The phrase just doesn't seem right fit Jasper either, as he's definitely NOT a boy, anyway you look at him. So, we are using the term soulmate, and I believe that it is fitting, after all... we connect on a mental, emotional, and physical level that could only belong to soulmates." I lean into Jasper's arms, once I've finished my explanation.
"That is sickeningly sweet." Edward says, grinning as I glare at him,then look over at Bella.
"Edward watches you sleep at night." I state as her eyes bug, looking sharply at the boy across from her, as he glares at me, and I grin at him, completely smug as I take a bite of my cake.
"You what!?" Bella demands as Jasper chorkles under his breath, placing his arm over the back of my chair, touching my back to maintain some semblance of contact as I continue to eat.
"Honestly, Edward," Alice's voice causes us to look up, she, Rosalie, and Emmett are now joining us, having brought over spare chairs. "You're as bad as Jasper, sometimes." She sits beside me, the two of us smiling.
"Bella, these are my "siblings", Alice, Rosalie, and Emmett." Edward uses airquotes around the word siblings, causing me to snicker into my hand, he directs a glare at me as I look at him, innocently batting my eyelashes, before I look down at my plate, snatching up a tomato, which I chuck at Emmett, who is currently looking away. It smacks him in the face as I drop the rest of the tomatoes on Edward's tray, Emmet's head snaps at me as I point at Edward, causing Emmett to growl as he picks up a celery stick, chucking it at Edward, who blinks rapidly before throwing one of my tomatoes at me. "Don't tell him that I did it, when it was you!"
"Hey!" Alice throws a handful of raisins at Rosalie, who bursts into laughter, chucking a handful of French fries at her, only for them to hit me in the face, my eyes narrow as I throw my tater tots at her, some hitting Bella, who in turn, throws her empty milk carton at me, before it's an all out food fight at the table, all of us laughing all the while as Jasper just sits back, and watches.
"I am dating a toddler." He states, loud enough for me to hear as I gape at him, picking up a piece of chocolate cake, and smear it across his lips and cheek, causing the food flinging to stop, everyone stares at the two of us as Jasper bursts into laughter, flinging a pat of butter at me. By the time the excitement dies down, we're all covered in food, laughing as Jasper places his forehead against my own, chuckling as I press a kiss to his chocolate covered lips, licking my lips free of the chocolate that comes away.
"Yum." I tease, he laughs as the others roll their eyes.
"Oh my lord, Lilith!" I jump to my feet, turning to find Jason and Jennifer standing behind me. "Sheryl and Matthew will be pissed if you come home, covered in food like that!" Jennifer states, causing me to laugh.
"You worry too much, Jenni!" I state as she rolls her eyes, looking at Bella, and the others, that are covered in just about the same amount of food as me.
"Just, clean up some." I nod, behind me the air is suddenly tense as I hear a chair creak.
"Alice?" I hear Jasper whisper. "Alice, what is it?" I turn to find Alice is slumped back in her chair, eyes far away as I turn back to my siblings.
"I'll see you at home." I state, causing them both to walk away as I sit down, placing a worried hand on Alice's shoulder, she blinks, looking at me. "Are you okay?"
"Who is she?" Alice suddenly asks, gesturing to Jennifer.
"My foster sister, why?" I ask, causing her to nod.
"I just saw something about her," She smiles. "that's all." She stands with her tray. "We should all go clean up." Without any arguments, we all follow Alice to dump our trays, and duck into the bathrooms to clean ourselves up, before Alice and I start toward gym, Jasper joining to walk me to class, the rest of the day, my mind is on Alice's vision of Jennifer, worry eating at the pit of my stomach.
Later that night, laying beside Jasper in my bed, after my shower, dressed in a pair of black sweats and my favorite green and black striped tank top, his arm is behind my head on the behind, trailing my fingers across the planes other his other in immense interest. "Jasper?"
"Hmm?" He opens his eyes, looking at me with those molten ocher orbs.
"Was Alice's vision, today, about Jenni being in danger?" I ask, my worry is evident.
"No, quite the opposite. Alice saw your sister's wedding, to one of Carlisle's friends." He answers, causing me to blink in surprise.
"Is this friend an..." I look at him, feeling slightly helpless.
"Vampire? Yes. Don't worry, she doesn't see Jennifer being changed." He strokes my cheek as I let relief color my face, he chuckles as he presses his forehead to my own, before I peck him on the lips, hugging him as I curl into a ball against him. "You worry too much, about your family."
"I love them." I admit, my eyes prick with tears as he wraps an arm around my waist, pressing a kiss to my forehead.
"I know." He trails his hand up and down my spine, leaning his forehead on mine. "I know, that you do. You're okay, you know? They're not going to give you up, they love you." He states, causing a smile to stretch across my lips, curling my fingers into his shirt.
"Hey, Jazz?" I look up at him.
"Yeah, Darlin?" I blush as I bury my face in his neck, causing him to chuckle as his arm tightens around my waist.
"I love you." I murmur, causing him to stiffen, causing my heart to sputter, fear floods my veins as he pulls away, looking down at me as he strokes my face.
"I know how much it took, for you to say that, when you are so protective of your feelings, and I will never hurt you, I promise you that." He grabs my hand, placing it on his cheek. "You are the love of my life, I love you with my entire being. I have waited centuries to meet you, Miss Michaelson." He murmurs, kissing my palm as I look up at him, tears blurring my eyes as he chuckles. "What're you crying for, darlin?"
"I-" My voice breaks as I palm my eye, my tears falling before I can stop them. "My chest hurts." I sniffle out, causing him to pull me closer.
"You're such an over emotional girl." He teases, causing me to laugh tearfully, shoving him in the arm.
"Shut up!" I sniffle, smiling at him as I wipe at my eyes, once more. We lay in comfortable silence for a few minutes more, before I speak up. "Do you have to be dying, to become like you?" I suddenly ask.
"What?" He shakes his head. "No, that's just Carlisle, he changed Edward first, then Esme, before he changed Rosalie and Emmett."
"What about you and Alice?" I ask in confusion.
"Ah, that... Alice doesn't remember how she was changed, exactly, she woke up alone, where as I was changed by... a woman named Maria." He states, I note the pause in his sentence, the hesitation to speak of her. as though it pained him. Sitting up on my knees, I examine his face, before biting my bottom lip, looking away.
"You loved her, this Maria woman." I look at him, he sighs as he sits up.
"It's complicated, Lily." He states, his eyes raking over me as I pull my knees up, wrapping my arms around them, and rest my chin on the backs of them.
"I can keep up." I state, he gives a mirthful chuckle, looking at me.
"Where should I start?" He asks me.
"Beginning. You said she's the one who changed you?" He nods.
"Let me see... I was the youngest major in the Texas Calvary, during the Civil War." My eyes brighten at that, my head lifts a bit as he chuckles. "Ah, see though that'd catch your attention. I hadn't seen any combat, but I did help with town evacuations, that's how I met Maria and her sisters. They were covered in blood, barefoot, I had thought they were in danger, or injured, so I stopped to help them, and that's how I was changed."
"Ever the gentleman, until the very end." I tease, causing him to give me a mirthlessly look as I pull one of
"But, Maria wanted more than me to be changed, she wanted an army, someone to train them, and I was perfect. Armies were common in the south, back then. Wars were fought, over territories, and Maria won them all. She never let the newborns live, past their first year, because she saw them as weak, she had me dispose of them, because they trusted me, I could manipulate their emotions to the point where they were completely relaxed around me, then I could strike." He looks away from me as soon as I feel my mouth drop open a bit, surprise clear on my face. "I did whatever she asked, because..."
"Because you... loved her." I look down, my finger trailing across the quilt on my bed, tracing the pattern as I feel my heart ache a bit. "Do you still, ya know... have feelings for her?" His head snaps over, to look at me as I keep my gaze low, feeling my eyes prick with unshed tears.
"No! At least, not in the way you think. I despise her, with a burning passion." His words bring little comfort as I rest my chin on my knees, tracing a triangle on my sheets. "Darlin, are you upset with me?" He suddenly asks, I look down, refusing to answer, when his index finger and thumb capture my chin, lifting my face to look at him, as he leans over me on one arm. "I do not love her, Lilith." His darkened ocher orbs are burning into my blue ones, emotions swirling in them, but absolute truth is at the forefront, causing my heart to lighten as I feel heat spread to my cheeks.
"Could you?" I ask.
"Could I what?" His brow furrows.
"Love her. I mean, if I wasn't alive, if I hadn't existed?" I ask, causing him to sigh, lowering his head to rest on my shoulder.
"No." He suddenly lifts his head, cupping my cheek to press his lips to my own. "You are the only one for me, Lily." He murmurs, resting his forehead against my own, causing me to smile. "Now, do you want to hear the rest of the story, or not?" He asks, stroking my cheek lightly.
"Yes, please." I answer, lowering my knees to fold them to my side, laying back as he leans down on one arm, staring at me as he continues.
"Anyways, even with all of the deaths on my hands, and training the recruits, I never lost a fight, if never effected me, until Maria had commanded me to kill Peter- we had been allies, fought in the war together, and recently, he'd fallen in love with a girl from the new batch of vampires, Charlotte, and they were my friend. So, I let them go, and Maria tried to have me killed, I wasn't going to be able to fight all those newborns myself, so I ran. I ran so fast and so far and for so long, that I ran into Alice." I look at him in awe. "This annoying pixie hugged me, and introduced me to herself, as though we'd known each other for years. She saw me comin, of course."
"Well, I'd expect nothing less of her." I state, causing him to smirk.
"She spoke of a young woman, that I'd meet in the future- with dark hair, tattoos, and piercings, she told me that she'd be worth all the pain of my past, she'd accept me, and love me for who I am. She warned me that this girl would be lonely, stubborn, and a bit difficult, that she'd feel that she'd never have a place to belong. She also told me, that she'd be my angel, my saving grace, and I would never be alone when I'm with her." I stare for a moment, lovingly up in his eyes. "As she spoke, I felt hope, and I knew, that I'd find this girl she spoke of, no matter what." He leans down, nuzzling my cheek affectionately, while pressing a kiss to my neck. "And I did."
"Me? You've know about me for this long?!" I ask, causing him to chuckle.
"Who else?" He smirks that sexy smirk, causing me to blush as I press my lips to his, before nestling into his side, he hums as he strokes my hair. "So, you see? We're destiny, nothing so big or so small, will take you away from me. I love you, Lilith Michaelson." He states, causing me to blush as I look up at him, reaching up to stroke his face.
"I love you, Jasper Hale." He wrinkles his nose at that.
"My real name is Whitlock, ma'am." He states, causing me to look at him in surprise.
"All this time, and you didn't tell me that!?" I demand, straightening out my laying position, so I can properly pout playfully.
"My apologies, darlin." He kisses me, causing me to let out an actual giggle.
"Well, let me amend my earlier statement. I love you, Jasper Whitlock." I murmur, his eyes darken a bit, pupils dilating at that, causing surprise as he rolls over, laying on top of me, his legs trapping mine, his arms on either side on head, all of his weight on them as he leans down, kissing me passionately, my arms winding up, around his neck for my fingers to tangle in his hair. He pulls back from kissing me, to smile at me, that breathtaking smile causing my chest to ache, and he looks down at me as he moves off me, sitting up.
"You might as well as said something filthy to me, the way that just affected me." He states, cheekily, I let out a light laugh, hitting him playfully, before letting out a large yawn, and he looks over at me. "Why don't you get some sleep, darlin." He wraps his arms around me, pulling me close so my head is resting on his chest, I listen to him breathe, allowing me to fall asleep, peacefully.
