Hideaway
Jasper POV
Bella had fallen asleep on the bed so I had gone to hunt and clear my head. This time when I returned she was still there. I could feel her pain and fear through me like a poison. I walked upstairs to mine and Alice’s room. She was still on the bed only she was struggling in her sleep. She was having a nightmare of some sort. I sent calming waves her way and she stopped struggling and screaming. She was still crying though, and I could still feel the pain from her.
I went slowly to the bed and reached out my hand to hers. Her hand was burning hot against mine. This time she did calm down. She turned towards me.
“Thanks Jasper.” She murmured, still half asleep. She never opened her eyes she just drifted back to sleep. I was surprised that she knew it was me. I moved away and went down to Carlisle’s office.
I sat in there and read for the next few hours until I felt Bella’s emotions sparking up again. I could feel fear before anything else. I went straight to her before it got worse. I watched her from the doorway. I sent her a few waves to calm her down and went to stand by the window.
I spent the rest of the night there sending her waves when she needed them and watching her sleep. Part of me wished I could just lie down and go to sleep myself, to have time to switch off and not think for once.
Bella POV
I woke up to bright light almost hurting my eyes. I realised I was still in Alice and Jasper’s room. The Cullen’s didn’t seem to have much in the way of curtains, only some in the downstairs rooms, so my eyes stung from the bright sunlight.
Then my eyes fell on Jasper stood by the window. He sparkled in the morning sunlight, he was every bit as beautiful as Edward, maybe even more so, nearly as beautiful as Carlisle even. I blushed when I realised I was staring.
“You stayed here all night?” I asked shyly. He nodded. Then dread filled me. “Oh my God I stayed here all night!”
“Calm down, Bella.” Jasper said. “I think you really needed a good night’s sleep. You look much better.”
“I feel much better.” I admitted, and I knew it was him helping me sleep. “Thanks.” He just nodded in response and left the room.
Jasper POV
Bella left not long after getting up to go home. It was Saturday and the Chief would probably still be home wondering where she was. I hoped she wasn’t in too much trouble.
Charlie POV
I had been sat around the house, agitated and worried for the past few hours, since I realised Bella wasn’t actually here. I heard her truck pull up and instantly I was livid. How could she be so irresponsible?! She hadn’t even left a note.
When I saw her walk through the door my anger fizzled out into nearly nothing. She looked like Bella. For the past month all I had seen of her was a tired girl, with skin so pale she looked dead and her eyes had been dark and sunken. She had literally looked like a zombie.
I looked at her stood in front of me. Her skin was normal, a slight blush covered her cheeks, her eyes even had some of their life back. I wasn’t sure I wanted to know where she had been. I didn’t mind as long as Bella was back.
“I’m so sorry dad! I was at a friend’s and we got talking and it was so nice to finally catch up...I’m sorry.” She blurted.
“Just leave a note next time OK or call.” I told her. “Just stay safe Bella. Let me know when to expect you home. It looks like you had a good night and I’m glad.”
“Actually...I slept really well. I was wondering if I could stay the rest of the weekend.” She said hopefully. I wanted to tell her no but I wanted to do anything that helped her. “I’ll take my school stuff for Monday of course and be back straight after school Monday.”
“You’re going back to school?” I asked in disbelief. She nodded. “Sure Bella. You can stay this weekend, but be back on Monday, I don’t want you overdoing it.”
“Thanks dad.” She replied, smiling and heading upstairs.
Bella POV
That went better than expected. In fact it didn’t seem like Charlie at all but I wasn’t going to complain.
I went upstairs and showered. I stood under the shower for nearly an hour just enjoying the feel of the warm water running across my body.
I dug out a bag from the bottom of my closet and filled it with a few sets of clothes. I found my school books and put them in too. Then I headed back out to my truck. As I pulled away from the drive it surprised me how happy I was. I had been around Jasper two days and suddenly I felt like I could get through the day without clutching my chest to keep myself tearing apart.
It just felt like having a piece of them back. I had chosen my entire life, my entire future...it had walked away from me, slipped out of my reach and Jasper was the only thing left. He had also been left, but he had lost his entire family. We needed each other.
Part of me figured he could probably get by without me just fine, but I wanted to make him feel better, I wanted to keep him company, the way he had done for me so far.
I stopped by the shops on my way to get some food for my stay. Unlike some I couldn’t go days without my food source.
Jasper POV
I got home from yet another hunting trip and instantly knew she was there. I couldn’t see her truck, it must be in the garage. I had been hunting more regularly recently, a lot more regularly. Not because I was thirsty, but because I was nervous that I hadn’t been tempted by the smell of Bella’s blood as much as normal. I didn’t want my thirst to creep up on me without me realising it. I found her upstairs in the kitchen. She was cooking something that smelled wonderful. Shame I wouldn’t even know if it tasted as good as it smelt.
“Hey, welcome home Jasper.” She greeted me, looking up with a beaming smile. Happiness and warmth radiated from her, drawing me closer.
“Wow, the kitchen is actually getting used for once.” I said, as I came to stand nearer her.
“Well, unlike some people I have to eat three meals a day.” She replied warmly.
“It smells good.” I told her honestly. I didn’t mention the fact that I could see that she hadn’t been eating three meals a day recently, she was eating now and that was the important thing.
“Well, it’s no grizzly bear or mountain lion but for us measly humans it’ll have to do.” She said, dramatically rolling her eyes. She looked me up and down. “You look a mess.”
“Mountain lion.” I grinned.
“You shouldn’t play with your food.” She scolded. I had to laugh. She was so happy and it was rubbing off on me. She was stood in the kitchen , spatula in hand making jokes about me killing a mountain lion and drinking it’s blood. She really was something. “Is it OK if I stay until Monday morning?”
“I said come and go whenever you like didn’t I?” I replied evenly, but secretly I was thrilled that she wanted to spend time here with me.
“Yeah I just wanted to be polite and check.” She said, pushing her dinner onto a plate. “I just slept so well last night I thought if I could get a good weekend of rest, I could face going back to school Monday.”
“I had wondered when or if you were going to go back to school.” I mused, looking at her blush creeping across her face.
“Yeah it’s just...it’s hard you know, when I see certain people aren’t there.” She said quietly. I felt sadness from her like a ripple, starting something small and then gradually building until it hit me like a tidal wave. She had turned away from me now and I knew she was crying.
“Sorry.” I said awkwardly, reaching to touch her arm to make her feel better. What actually happened was something different. As soon as I touched her arm she span around and threw herself against me. I never got the chance to calm her before she was clinging to me as if she would die if she let go. I could feel every one of her emotions; pain, sadness, loneliness, fear, anger, sadness, loneliness, warmth, embarrassment and it was then she started to pull away and her emotions felt slightly less powerful. I calmed her then.
Bella POV
I suddenly realised I was clinging to Jasper as if my life depended on it. I had buried my head in his chest and clutched his shirt. I felt safe and warm there, but I felt a bit awkward that it was Jasper to was throwing myself at. What must he think of me. Then I suddenly began to feel calm and I knew exactly why.
I looked up into his eyes and froze on the spot. I couldn’t look away and I couldn’t move. Jasper had me dazzled in front of him.
“Sorry...” I managed to say quietly, pulling my eyes away from his and by now I knew my face was probably purple, not only that I was sure I could hear my heart pounding and it I could he definitely could.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, his eyes looking amused.
“You um...dazzled me.” I admitted, still looking at the ground.
“Sorry.” He chuckled. “Do I do that a lot?”
“A few times.” I shrugged, then playfully smacked him on the arm. “Stupid vampires.” Although I could have hit him with all I had and it would have felt like a playful slap to him. He laughed aloud and his musical voice filled the room.
“I apologies for dazzling you, Bella.” He smiled. “But I have to admit it is so much more interesting having you around.” I blushed even more. If he didn’t stop I’d be stuck with a permanent blush before long.
I turned away from him to pick up my plate from the counter and when I turned back to him, plate in hand, he was gone. Stupid vampire speed.
I ate my dinner in the living room, in front of the TV. I flicked through the channels while I ate, after cleaning the kitchen I returned to my channel flipping for some time before Jasper reappeared.
He came and sat wordlessly next to me on the couch.
“What you watching?” he asked.
“Friends.” I replied. “There’s nothing else on...shame these are all reruns I’ve seen them so many times.”
“Did you want to do something else?” he asked.
“Like what?” I enquired curiously.
“Well...I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to buy a car. I don’t have one so...I was thinking we could go see if we could find a new one at Ruddell’s in Port Angeles.” He said.
“You want me to come with you to buy a car?” I asked. He nodded. “Sure. Let’s go.”
Author’s notes: Well I hope you’re still enjoying it, sorry there hasn’t been much romance yet but I thought I’d better give it a little time since he was trying to eat her a month ago. It is coming I promise xx
