Chapter 3

You're old but you are shining like you've never done before.

There's something here changing

~BELLA'S POV~

After a tiny argue with Edward about me being with Jasper I managed to get him out of my sight so I could study for the big test. With Edward always around, treating me like I was a fragile porcelain doll, the ability to concentrate weren't the best. Actually it was quiet tricky to concentrate at all with me still being irritated with Edward, and then hearing Jasper constantly plucking on his guitar downstairs.

I had my glass with milk and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a plate next to me in the bed. Edwards's luxurious king-size bed made a perfect space for me, and all my books about Forks history, my math books and philosophy.

- It wouldn't be that bad with Jasper here as well -

I caught myself drifting away, and drifting away at something completely wrong.

I took a deep breath, shook myself a little bit to loosen up and buried myself in that book again. History of Forks, history of Forks, history of...

Alice was giggling downstairs, playfully and flirty. Emmett and Rosalie was walking around in the back yard, talking with each other. Jasper was still downstairs, making music. But where was Edward, he wasn't in my room, and not outside, or with Jasper.

"Edward, do NOT tickle me again," Alice said with a teasing voice. I could hear everything. A high laughter again, and then another warning from Alice. He was probably just playing around with his sister; after all, I had shoved him out of our room.

I threw my history book away and picked up the math. Difficult numbers at once welcomed me, and tasks the book wanted me to solve. The book was thrown away too. "Stupid, nasty, irritating.. Gah"

I took the plate with bread and my glass of milk and went downstairs to find Alice and Jaspers door open. I peeked in where I could see the blonde male vampire sitting with his guitar, still making wonderful music.

A glance towards the aisle to see if Edward was near, when I didn't see any track of him, I opened Jaspers door and walked in. He was still focused on the instrument and didn't give me any notice, or he just didn't realize I walked in.

"Alice, I told you not to sneak up on me like that," he murmured. His southern accent was noticeable underneath his soft, and dark voice. He was insanely beautiful, and for a slight second I envied Alice. He looked up and his smile faded.

"Weird that I didn't smell you." He snapped shortly and putted the instrument away. "Your smell usually fills the whole house." He stood up and walked towards me.

"Maybe you should work with your multitasking. Smelling humans and playing guitar at the same time can be pretty effective for a bloodsucker" I answered with the same attitude as he had. "Or maybe your vampire-powers starts to get old?"

He snorted and shoved me out, closing the door.

"At least I would be polite enough to knock before entering. Or aren't today's teenagers manners as good as they used to be?"

"You were the one shoving me out before asking a lady politely"

I had my comeback, I could see his eyes narrowing and he looked kind of amused.

"Are you still playing games with me, human?"

"Did I ever stop?"

I walked away, leaving the dishes, then back to my and Edward's bedroom.

NEXT DAY

I woke up by Edward gently nudging me, his eyes were black and he looked really tired.

"Darling? I need to go and hunt with Alice; I'll be back tomorrow. I promise. Rosalie and Emmett will be here to look after you." He whispered gently. He had a washer of breakfast in his hands, roasted toast, orange juice and cheesecake as dessert.

"Thank you." I yawned and sat up. "Why can't they all come with you? Don't all of you need to eat?" I received what he was holding, taking a sip of the orange-juice.

Edward smiled. "Jasper will take you to the school today, he has the same class as you this afternoon". Eat well and I'll se you tomorrow. I love you" He kissed me on the forehead and then he was gone.

He had never answered my questions, but I didn't think more about that, it was pretty common for him not to answer what he was asked.

After breakfast I came down to the living room with my bathrobe on. Turned on some cartoon channel and laughed for my own. Mostly making grunts and ugly sounds while I was laughing at the ridiculous things on the shows. The clock was only 09:30, and my only class for today was with Jasper. Thinking of Jasper, I hadn't seen him all morning.

I turned down the music on the TV and tried to listen for any music, but there was none. Maybe I was all alone in the house? Rosalie and Emmett had been gone for school early this morning and wouldn't come home yet in a few hours, and Jasper didn't seem to be home at all. I wondered if he'd been gone to some friends...

I turned off the TV and went for a shower, the door wide open and singing at the top of my lungs, massaging shampoo into my hair and getting my skin red because of the heat.

After I'd cleaned myself I decided for a bath in the big tub. Filling it with water, I leaned back and just relaxed. It was pretty neat to not have Edward home, or anyone home for that matter. Just relaxing, thinking about myself..

~JASPER'S POV~

Edward had giving me the task to drive Bella with me to school today. I hated it as much as he did, but when she sat down beside me in that car, fixed up with a little bit of make up, a new pair of jeans and a top, she almost looked as gorgeous as Edward had first described her. But her clumsiness, breathing and stutter were still irritating as hell.

"Don't make this a habit." I snapped.

"Don't worry, it's not like I want this either," she turned on the music, fastened her seatbelt and rolled down the window. Her scent went on me like a comet and I grabbed the steering wheel a little harder. Focus, focus, focus, focus.

After a few minutes Bella plugged in her iPod to the radio and something weird and electronically came on. She said the band was called Saycet, and was pretty new.

Awful.

"Jasper, look out for the moose." Bella shrieked. "JASPER, WATCH OUT"

I woke up and saw that gigantic animal on the road and I had to stomp at the break. The animal just stood there, staring at us like we were idiots. I muttered all the curses I could possibly came up with in that second. If Bella had gotten hurt, I would be dead.

Bella leaned over me and pushed at the horn. But the moose just stood there, still staring. He didn't seem to have a rush anywhere. Then I felt Bella's hair right underneath my nose, her scent hugged me like I was a baby just crying for more food. To have her...

Bella leaned back in her seat. She took her hair into a bun and secured it with a rubber band. It was actually pretty hot in the car. But then I saw her throat, her gorgeous, pale neck with blood pulsating inside. I gazed down her collarbones, saw her heart pounding inside of her chest, her breathing was calm. She didn't wear a bra.

"You call me impolite, at least I'm not the one staring at someone's boobs." She snapped her fingers before my eyes and I cached her eyes. I growled and leaned closer to her.

"Then start wearing a bra." I caressed her arm teasingly.

I could feel that she went nervous and backed a little.

"Don't be afraid." I seduced.

~BELLA'S POV~

In a second, Jasper had managed to lock me in the seat. He was sitting bend over me, in what, at least looked like, a very unpleasant position. He had a grip at my hair with one hand, holding the other hand at the roof. Leaning closer. Closer.

"I thought you've learned what things like me do with girls like you when they tease." He murmured. His voice was thick and dark; he was ready for something.

"You mean, nasty vampires?" I spitted out.

"I don't think you find me nasty at all, Bella. You find me attractive, and you hate it. You want me to do things with you; those things Edward won't give you. You need it. And when I am near, you can't help but wanting it more." He whispered into my ear and my mouth opened, making a moan.

I blushed in shame. I didn't want to feel like this but why did this man have to be so perfect. So straight forward, and dominant, everything Edward wasn't.

His lips touched my earlobe, and I shivered in his grip.

"Now Edward can't stop me from doing everything I want. And Alice doesn't seem to bother us... You should be scared, are you?" He chuckled and moved his one hand to my lips and caressed them with his thumb. "I would be a scared little girl if I were you."

His cold lips moved over my cheek, heading for mine.

His lips bruised over mine with the lightest touch.

"You humans are so easy to destroy, too bad you have to be so pretty" he whispered. "I could kill you so easily..." He took a firm grip around my neck.

I opened my eyes

"Jasper.. The moose is gone." I grunted and he looked back, and then at me again.

"Shit" he muttered, heading back to the drivers seat.

I didn't know If I was seconds from being killed or being kissed.
