Hideaway
Bella POV
I opened my eyes. It was still light. I had fallen asleep in Edward’s room. I looked at my watch. It was nearly six, Charlie would be home soon. I got up, not seeing Jasper around the house I left. I got in my truck and headed home.
I got home fifteen minutes before Charlie. I finished making his dinner for him in silence and then went upstairs. Charlie didn’t say anything, he obviously didn’t want to push things and send me back into my room for the next week.
I curled up in bed and it wasn’t long before I slept. I just wanted tomorrow to come, Charlie to go to work so that I could go to the Cullen’s house.
Jasper POV
She had been crying in her sleep too, I heard her from my room. I she woke up and I felt her confusion, disappointment and then emptiness. She left the house and I heard her drive away.
Us leaving Folks had done Bella no good at all. Even I could see that, and I was the one who was dangerous to her.
I knew she’d be back. She seemed to think holding onto the house was holding onto a piece of Edward. I would have to go hunting again if she was going to be around, just in case.
Then next day after returning from hunting...
I could saw her truck on the drive and I could smell her in the house. She was already here. She hadn’t gone to school at all. I went straight to my room, avoiding Edward’s completely.
I opened the door, I could smell Bella in my room. I looked around and found her curled up on the bed hugging a jumper of Alice’s. I made a special effort to make some noise so that she heard me approach her.
She jumped and looked up at me. Her face turned bright red and she quickly dropped the jumper and stood up.
“Sorry I-” she said quickly. “I just- You weren’t here- I didn’t know this was-“
“Don’t worry.” I shrugged. “This is or rather was mine and Alice’s room. I’m not mad but why are you in here exactly?” She blushed again.
“I walked past the room and saw her jumper crumpled on the floor...I only came in to pick it up and fold it up but it smelled like her...it reminded me of her hugs...” Bella’s emotions were erratic now, her voice began to crack. “She was one of the best friends I had...and she befriended me no questions asked...” I tried to calm her, it seemed to work a bit. She let out a deep breath.
“You really don’t just miss Edward?” I asked her.
“No! How could you think that? I miss all of you.” She replied. She looked up at my doubtful expression. “Every single one. Even Rosalie.”
“Bella...I am sorry about that day.” I told her awkwardly but honestly.
“Jasper it wasn’t really your fault.” She said. “I was clumsy and you didn’t actually do anything so it doesn’t matter. Really I don’t blame you.”
“I should have had more control.” I replied, I could feel my own anger building. “I screwed up everything.” I suddenly felt a warm feeling fill me. Bella was stood right in front of me, her hand against my arm, huge brown eyes filled with concern. She had squashed my anger in a second with her compassion.
“It’s ok Jasper.” She said softly. “They didn’t want me either...” I wanted to tell her that they did, but I knew right now she wouldn’t believe me and it wouldn’t help. I would save that conversation for another day. “It never did make much sense that I could fit in with your family. You’re all so graceful.” I smiled at that.
“You did fit in. Right from the beginning. You’re an amazing person, you didn’t see us for what we were but for who we were.” I said. I grinned. “Maybe in my case that wasn’t such a good thing.”
“When will you listen? I missed every single one of you.” She said insistently.
“I wanted your blood Bella. I attacked you.” I told her seriously. “And yet you’re stood right here in my room with me.”
“I’m not afraid of you.” She said, simply.
“Not at all?” I smirked. She shook her head. We fell into silence.
“Jasper?” she said uneasily, her voice barely a whisper but she knew I could hear her. “Did Edward really not love me?”
“He loved you Bella. He left for you.” I replied. “He decided that was what was safer for you. Ironic that after I screw up and the family leaves Folks and kicks me out that I get over my bloodlust.”
“What do you mean?” she asked confused.
“I don’t even feel tempted by your blood.” I replied. “I still get thirsty, but it’s not hard to stand right next to you anymore. Ironic, one month after they decide they’ve had enough of it, I get over it.”
“You don’t sleep...” she said, not a question, just a fact. “What have you been doing the past month?” I couldn’t help but smile at that.
“I will admit I’ve been very bored.” I replied. “To begin with I stayed in the corner and sulked, the classic moody vampire image you humans seem so fond of. Then I started hunting one a week or so and more sulking, thinking... I just didn’t think I’d be able to hold control my thirst anywhere but here by myself. What about you?”
“Me? I spent the past month...I’m not really sure to be honest it’s been a blur.” she replied uneasily.
Bella POV
What had the last month been like for me? I don’t remember. It wasn’t even like hell. More like purgatory. There was not point to me. I clutched my arm across my chest as it once again felt like it was going to rip open from the pain. I felt the pain begin to ebb away. I glanced up at Jasper, I knew he was helping me. I smiled slightly up at him. I felt him take my hand and the pain washed away.
“How did you-” I started.
“For some reason my ability doesn’t work as well on you as it does for my kind...but it works a lot better if I touch you.” He shrugged.
“Thanks.” I said.
“Edward thought he was doing the right thing by leaving...it didn’t do any good at all did it?” he asked.
“Of course not.” I replied. “So...do you want some company? You can still have alone time if that’s what you want I just...I wanted to know more about you.”
“About me?”
“Well, because of your thirst we never really got to know each other...I wondered if since it’s just us here now...” I stumbled over my words.
“It would be nice to have someone around the house.” He replied. “I can’t say I’ll be the best company for you but I’m here most of the time, feel free to use the house as you wish. My room and Rosalie and Emmett’s room have beds in if you want to sleep. That couch can’t be very comfortable. Esme and Carlisle had the nicest bed but they took it with them.”
“Thank you.” I replied. I wasn’t sure how I felt about sleeping in Rosalie’s bed or Jasper’s bed. I relaxed a little and sat back on the bed. Jasper stood and talked to me for the next few hours.
Jasper POV
It was surprising how good it felt to have a conversation. I had missed my family so much. Bella wasn’t the same but she was fascinating and caring. I had to easy her emotions a few times but other times I enjoyed the caring, concerned and content waves coming from her.
I saw her beginning to slump on the bed. She was getting tired. I looked over her figure. She was a lot slimmer than I remembered. I could pretty much guess that she had spent the past month crying and sleeping. It was a nasty rut to get into. She didn’t feel like eating when she was upset, when she was upset she’d cry, crying makes you tired so she’d sleep, then wake up feeling bad.
I looked over again a few minutes later when waiting for a reply, she was asleep. Not eating had obviously made her exhausted and ill. I thought about getting so food in for the kitchen. I decided not to in the end because someone might see me.
I walked out of the room. Maybe I should call Edward and tell him everything. Not that he would listen. None of them would. I shook off the idea for now. What harm would it be to have her around? I could see why Edward liked her so much, she really was fascinating. She was so interested in everything I had to say. She was hurting inside and yet what she wanted to do was talk to me and make me feel better...and it was her genuinely wanting to make me feel better that made me feel better. It was like having a little piece of my family back.
