Bella POV

Jasper woke me up in the morning with a kiss. I mumbled to myself and snuggled into him.

“You have school today.” He said quietly.

“Urgh.” I groaned sitting up.

“You have less than four weeks left Bella.” He said softly. “We’ll help you with your finals next week too.”

“I know...” I sighed. I stretched, feeling the aching and stiffness of my body. When I stood up I noticed some purple bruises on my hips and blush.

“I’m sorry about those.” Jasper whispered, kissing my hand.

“Don’t be. They’re nothing.” I said. He obviously felt my fear because he didn’t look convinced. He thought I was scared of him now? “Jasper...I really don’t mind about a few bruises, they’re no worse than I get from falling over. Please don’t leave.”

“Bella I wasn’t going to leave you.” He chuckled. “We’ll just have to take it easy next time.”

“Next time?” I asked.

“Unless you don’t want to...” he replied.

“No, I do.” I said quickly.

“Good.” He said, kissing my hand again. “Because it was incredible and I would very much enjoy a repeat.”


Later that day


School was boring. It felt empty. I had alienated myself from my friends probably not beyond repair but I would be leaving so I way as well leave things as they were, the less people to suspect the better.

I just wanted to be back at the Cullen’s house with them, but I couldn’t even do that because I promised Charlie I’d be home today.


Later...


I climbed out of my truck and headed indoors. I put my school stuff down on the sofa and headed into the kitchen to make dinner. Charlie came in right on queue and looked at the meal on the table in shock.

“Are you going to eat the fish on your plate or just do an impression of it?” I asked, smiling at him. He sat down to eat and smiled up at me.

“It’s about time you made an appearance.” He said.

“Me?” I asked confused.

“Yes Bella.” He replied, with a mouthful. “The real Bella, not the zombie Bella that’s been hanging around here recently.”

“Sorry.” I mumbled, sitting to eat with him.

“I know you didn’t mean to.” He shrugged. “But you really did have me worried for a bit there Bells.”

“I know.” I mumbled. “I’m sorry dad. I’m much better now, I promise. I was actually thinking about what college I wanted to go to...”

“Really? Why the change of mind?” he asked, eying me suspiciously. I figured I could tell Charlie a half truth.

“Actually, it was Edward’s brother Jasper who convinced me that my life wasn’t over just because Edward had decided to leave me.” I told him. He stopped eating.

“Is that so?” he asked evenly. Now for the not so true part...

“Um yeah, we were emailing and stuff when the Cullen’s left and he actually came back to visit this weekend with Alice...sorry I didn’t tell you before Dad really but I thought after Edward the Cullen’s would be a bad topic.” I blurted.

Charlie turned a little red in the face and then after a moment of silence he spoken carefully.

“Bella, I never thought you would be able to think about any of them let alone talk about them and see them. The Cullen’s are nice enough people. Carlisle is a good man, I expected better of Edward and it even crossed my mind he broke up with you because they were leaving, a clean break you know but I really never liked Edward.” He replied. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. “The improvement I’ve seen in the past few days is remarkable Bella and to be honest I don’t really care who the reason is for it. Just be careful Bella. I don’t want the same thing to happen again.”

“OK dad.” I said. “I’ll be careful I promise. And if you’re worried about me getting involved with Edward again don’t worry. I think I’m over him.”

“This brother of his. Is that going to cause any family issues?” he asked, I knew what he was really asking.

“I wouldn’t know. Edward left his family to go find his biological parents. They haven’t spoken to him since about two days after they left.” I replied, standing to wash the plates.

I didn’t talk any more to Charlie. After I’d cleaned up I grabbed my school bag and headed for my room.
There was a familiar figure led outstretched on my bed. I looked at the perfect figure in front of me and grinned. I would never tire of seeing a sight like that. Not even if I spent the next century or two looking at it. Or even eternity.

“Hello beautiful.” He said smoothly. I blushed and dropped my bag into the corner. “Happy to see me?”

“You know I am.” I replied quietly. He gestured for me to join him and although I blushed and I was certain he heard my heart speed up, I was more than happy to comply. I led down next to him and snuggled into his side.

“So you had a chat with Charlie did you?” he asked smirking.

“You listened to that?” I asked sheepishly.

“Just the end of it. Very creative.” He replied. “I’m impressed.” He leant over and kissed me. “My naughty minx.”

“Moi?” I asked innocently, feigning hurt. Then I giggled as he covered me in little kisses. If I was to die now, not that I would want to, but if I did I would die happy, very happy.
