Twilight is the property of Stephenie Meyer. I just like playing with the characters, especially Jasper.

This is a drabble.

I was a quick wet boy

Diving too deep for coins

…

Have I found you?

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you?

-Iron & Wine

Part 16

Bella and Jasper went straight to the small building housing her rental post office box. Bella was in and out and back on the street in a few minutes, where Jasper was waiting for her, leaning against the car. She paused as she left the building, still getting used to his beauty. However many times she saw him, he took her breath away.

Just before getting back in the car, she heard a gasp. She turned to see Him staring at her.

"Bella?" he said.

What was He staring at? That His handiwork on her face had been erased? She felt rage boiling up inside and clinched her fists. Then she saw herself in the building's window. She couldn't believe she was seeing her own reflection. Bella reached up, touching her cheek, watching the mirror image doing the same.

She felt Jasper touch her arm. "I told you that you were beautiful," he whispered. "Didn't you believe me? But we need to leave now."

She looked at Jasper and saw he was staring at Him.

"We can come back tonight," Jasper continued.

"He's not worth it. Hurting Him won't make my past pain go away." She put her hand on Jasper's. "Let's go somewhere and create new memories."

Jasper leaned over to kiss her before starting the car. When he moved back he grinned mischievously.

"He's watching," Jasper remarked. "Jealous. Wants you back."

"Should have been more careful when he had me," she muttered without looking back. Bella smiled at Jasper, leaning over to put her head on his shoulder. "This is where I belong."
