It was a normal Saturday in the Cullen household. Rose was in the garage working on her beloved car. Alice was in Seattle shopping and won't be back in a while. Edward was out hunting and I was in the living room watching Emmett and Jasper fight over a bet.
" Pay up Emment if you ever want to see your precious jeep again," Jasper threaten. I bit back a laugh as I saw the fucking look on Emmett's face. He looked completely horrified.
"You wouldn't," he had the 'Holy-Shit- Imma-Fucking-Piss-Ma-Pants' look glued on his face.
Jasper just raised his eye-brow and sneered, "Cut the crap, I would do it and you know it." I shivered, but it wasn't out of fear. There's something about the little twickle in his eyes while he said that. He looks over at me with a confused expression probably because he doesn't get my emotions. I smiled and walked over to them.
"Come on Emmy don't be a fucking sore loser. Now this can go two ways. Either you give Jazzy his money or I'm helping with your jeep." Shit, where the fuck did that came from. They must of thought the same thing. They were staring at me like they were fish out of water. I snapped my fingers. " Hellllloooooo, anybody home?"
"But Bellllllaaaaaaa, I thought I was your teddy bear. Why are you siding with Jasper!" He whined, looking like an over grown five year old.
"Oh quit your whinin'! You made a promise to pay this bet if you lost and you are going to fulfill that promise. Do you understand me Emmett?" Silence, " I said, DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND ME EMMETT MCCARTHY CULLEN?" He looked scared shitless. Jasper was on the floor laughing so had that if he was human he without a doubt would have had tears streaming down his face.
"Y-Yes," Emmett stuttered and handed me a wad of bills before walking away muttering, "Me and rose are going hunting". By then Jasper calmed down and picked himself off the floor.
"I believe this belong to your, Major." I handed him the wad. He gave me a unsure smile.
"Thank you, Darlin'. But I've gotta ask ya somethin'." He spoke with a bit of a sourthern accent. Darlin'? It's sweet, i thought.
"Ask away?" I smiled.
"Why help me 'stead of Emmett. You two are closer than you an I," He said shyly.
"Jasper you are part of this family! Of course I'm gonna help you! I know we aren't that close because of Edward's overprotectiveness, but I know you wouldn't hurt me on purpose! I cut myself in a house full of vampire! I bet you weren't just feeling your own bloodlust! You were feeling everyone's combine and with Edward's bloodlust in the mix I bet that just sent you over the egde. I am his singer afterall! It was not your fault, Jasper and you need to stop blaming yourself because of that! I would say I forgive you, but there's nothing to forgive," I huffed in frustration after my speak. Why does he keep blaming himself? It wasn't his fault!
"You right Bella, I need to stop blaming myself. I can't always be on edge in fear to be near you just because of what happen on your birthday," He winced. I took at step closer to him, placing a hand on his arm trying to sooth him. Weird? He doesn't feel cold, he feel kind of warm actually.
"Why don't we try being friend? We'll get to know each other and maybe you won't be afraid of being near me," I said. Edward's going to kill me...
"That'd be nice. I would love to be your friend," put his hand over mine, which was still on his shoulder. I smiled.
"Well Texas, what do you feel like doing?" He gave me a confused smile. Why is he confused? Did I say something? I reveiw everything I've said so far in my head. I haven't said anything out of line. Wait I said Texas didn't I? Ugh I don't want him to know that I know and how I know! I was going to tell him later!
"How'd y'know I was from Texas an more specificly how'd you know I was a Major?" I said Major too? Dammit! What's with me today?
I let out a tired sigh and sat down on the couch motioning him to join me," Well Jasper I guess I'm gonna have to tell you. When I was litte my mama neva liked being in one place for a long amount of time. We moved alot. I've been to Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Missisippi, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Arizona, an now Washington. I met a lot of people, but their were only two that I was really close to and kept in touch with." I paused, " Their names are Peter and Charlotte." He stiffened immediately. "They told me the most interesting story after I figured out what they were. Most of 'em about their past, about that bitch Maria, The God of War, their escape, coming back for you..."I trailed off. I never told anyone about Petie and Char. Not even my own mother, she would never have been able to handle this. Plus she would have had me commited if I ever told her anythin about vampire. Even after I met the Cullens' I decieded not to tell them I knew. Char and Petie were human drinkers, Edward would have made me stop talking them. I laugh internally. I wonder what he'd do if I told him they've visited me here. Jasper cleared his clear, breaking me from my thoughts.
"Why have you never told us?" Of course that'd be the first thing he'd ask.
"Don't you think the family wouldn't have minded me knowing two human drinking vampires?" I retorted. He hesitated for a minute.
"I wouldn't 've minded. I've known Peter and Char for a while now. You sound really close to 'em and they would neva hurt someone close to 'em. But I do understand were you're comin' from." He wasn't lying, I could see it written on his face. He understood.
"Sooooooooo do ever get to see the great God of War in action," I've alway been curious about this.
"Sure but perhapes later. But Edward should be here ssoon and I know he'd kill me or at least try to if he eva finds out about me showing you?" He smirked. Damn thats like a badass cowboy smirk. I loved it so I could help but smile back.
"You betta hold yur word cowboy," I said with a southern accent.
"Well Darlin, I am anything if a man of ma word," He gave me another badass cowboy smirk which made me giggle. Did I seriously just giggle? I never giggle! And of course I tried to hide my blush from Jasper but he put his hand under my chin, making me look at him. "Don't hide yourself, Sugar. There's nothing to be ashamed of." I brushed even deeper and giggled. I never seen this side of Jasper before. He was alway so withdrawn and quiet. Not that I'm complaining! I like him like this!
"Yur right nothin' to be ashamed of. Thank you for understandin, Mr. Whitlock." I kissed him in the cheek and lean back on the couch turning on the TV. As I'm flipping through the channel, my secret phone buzzing signaling me that I have to go somewhere private.
"Jasper I need some air I'll be back in a while, " I jump up from the couch and speed watch to the back door. Once I've walk for enough in the woods that I knew there was no way anyone would hear me. I dig into my pocket and call me the person I've hated with even part of my being, making sure i'm covered by my sheild; can't have Alice easedropping.
"Ah Bellatrix!" He spoke with excitement.
"Hello Aro..."
