Don't own it
A/N Okay guys, this is my apology to Jasper for making him an evil prick in my last story. As usual if you don't like it send me a PM and I will get it off and we will forget this ever happened. Also as usual I have no idea where this is gonna go but I hope we will have fun getting there.
PS- Sorry I put Paul instead of Jasper. Got it fixed now
Chapter 1
BPOV
"C'mon Swan. You need to get out. You can't stay on campus for Spring Break. That isn't gonna happen. Get your pale ass packed."
Not this again. I just want to be left alone. Arizona State is a crowded place during the semester. I thought of hanging back and enjoying the campus relatively empty. Just me and nerds like me. My friend, next door neighbor in the dorms and current pain in the ass, Ty, seems to think he knows best.
"I just want to enjoy the quiet. All of you will be gone and I can relax. Have some me time. Besides I will get burned if I go to Lake Havasu. I don't want to get burned. I hate getting burned."
"Then you should have gone to school in Siberia or Alaska or something. Get your ass up. Pack you some SPF 5000 sunblock. Get that little bikini that still has the tags on it and let's go get naked and drunk bitch. Dan is gonna be there." He grinned. Oh good.
"I don't like Dan, Tyrone. I told you that. You need to tell him that." I said firmly. Some guys don't take no for an answer.
"You fucked him in every building on this campus, Swan. Why did you do that if you didn't like him at least a little?"
"Number one, I was bored. Number two I did not fuck him in every building on this campus. He was too afraid to go to the Chem lab. Apparently his aunt or something worked there." That building was still on my list.
"What about Brett? He's comin."
"I don't like Brett. After Dan decided he couldn't take sex in public places anymore I haven't really wanted a boyfriend. They are too much of a pain in the ass. Besides, don't you have enough females to follow you around at the Lake?" Tyrone Gavin, or Ty, was a 6'4 brown skinned shooting guard from Houston, Texas. He had a shaved head, a goatee and was pretty hot. Add in that he was pretty much guaranteed to make millions when he went to the NBA and he had girls following him around this campus. Why he wouldn't leave me alone, I had no idea. Apparently I was the first girl who didn't fall for his shit and he decided we would be friends. He decided. Not me. Still he was a good friend. Probably my best friend here.
"Besides, Heather is going to be there. I have to live with her. A little time alone would be nice. I've seen her half naked puking on top of a guy enough."
"Maybe you could explain the joys of sex in public places to her and you wouldn't have to listen to that shit." Ty suggested.
I took a deep breath. If only I had taken Edward back I would be living the lifestyles of the rich and famous, not worrying about getting sunburned. Course I would be drinking blood and missing out on a lot of sleep. Plus I would have to live with him. That just sent a shiver down my spine. I decided to go to college in Arizona because I wasn't sure he would really leave me alone. He was the kind of domineering ass that would change me and call it an accident.
I would never forget the greatest day of my life. The day Alice, Jasper and Edward showed up at school. I walked into the cafeteria and saw them. Edward smiled and motioned with his finger for me to join them.
I snapped. I lost all reasonable thought. I took a beating from James because of him. Laurent tried to kill me while he was gone. Vicky was still somewhere, God knows where, planning something, I'm sure. I had enough. I always thought I would feel joy if I ever saw him again. Instead I felt anger. Pure unadulterated anger.
Even through the haze of red I remained calm. I walked through the cafeteria line asking for three bowls of tomato soup. The lunch lady was surprised since I never ate but she gave me my requested lunch. I walked slowly to his table, feeling the eyes of the cafeteria on me. Edward smiled. I smiled. Then I dumped each bowl of soup over his head. Ironically he looked like he was covered in blood. I walked away and sat with Mike, and Angela and the rest of my friends. By the time my ass touched the seat the entire cafeteria was on their feet applauding. I should have been embarrassed by the attention but I wasn't. I was pissed and overjoyed at the same time. I figured he would leave. He didn't. I nailed the window shut to my room. I asked Sam to have patrols come by my house to make sure he wasn't around. Apparently he had already been doing this. Vicky stopped coming around but he was concerned.
Edward of course wouldn't go away. He kept telling me that he made a mistake and couldn't live without me. He would turn me. He would do anything I asked. I asked that he keep his promise and make it seem as if he never existed. Still he wouldn't go away. I admit I could have acted more responsibly. But I did make sure Tyler used condoms. It was him or Mike and Mike just wasn't happening.
I made sure we had sex in my room. Let Edward smell that when he tried to sneak in.
I snuck out during class with Tyler and had sex in Edward's car. The look on Edward's face after school when he opened his car door was worth the risk of getting caught. Only Jasper found it funny. He looked at me and winked. It was the first time I really noticed him. Really saw him as a person instead of the vampire who always looked in pain and tried to kill me once.
If he hadn't been with Alice the two of us would have wrecked Edward's car. Alice was another story. She tried to talk me into taking her brother back. She asked me shopping. I told her I would only go shopping with her for matches and she should look into the future if she wanted to know what I planned to do with them.
Graduation finally came. I came to Arizona State, moved into the dorms, got a couple tattoos in interesting places and began having fun. I was a good enough student that I could party and keep my grades up. But after last semester I figured it would be time to calm down a bit. Act more responsible. But I liked to cut loose every now and then.
Spring Break however, is exactly the kind of thing that can bring back my…less than responsible…behavior. Still I had only gone to a few parties this semester. Other than using Dan to test drive every single building on campus I had been a pretty responsible girl. Mostly. I mean the occasional cigarette here or Keg party there. Maybe a joint every now and then. Nothing most college kids didn't do once in a while. It's not like I stole a cop car.
I was just along for the ride. That was all Cody. Just because I played with the sirens doesn't mean I approved.
Thank God we didn't get caught. I would love to explain that one to Charlie.
"Look Swan. I need you to have my back. All those guys won't understand my problem. The girls just want to fuck me. I need you."
Uh oh.
"Why do you need someone to watch your back Ty? What did you do? This isn't going to wind up on SportsCenter again, is it?"
"No. Nothing like that, Bella. Still that was fun wasn't it?" he smiled. Yeah. It kinda was.
"So what? You need me there. Why?"
"I'm kind of being stalked by a girl." He whispered looking at the window.
"So? I figure you would be used to that by now."
"This girl is different. We fucked once and she won't leave me alone. Every time I turn around it seems the bitch is there."
"Okay. Call campus security. Lord knows they do enough for you. Cover up enough anyway." The shit this man could get away with made my green with envy. Luckily I got to be there for most of his escapades.
"Look she is different. She's a white girl like you."
"Yeah that's different." I sarcastically responded.
"No I mean like you. Like pale. And she is hard."
"What do you mean hard?" that caught my attention.
"When I first saw her I was like, damn this girl got a tight body, right? But the more I saw of her, the more I realized something was wrong. But I was drunk and she was willing so we went to a hotel. She paid. I don't mean a motel. I mean a classy hotel. We get upstairs and she gets naked right?"
"I really don't need details Ty. I have books for that."
"Listen. So she takes her clothes off and she is hot. Her body doesn't have an ounce of fat on it. You know what I'm talking about? She's like you only athletic. In shape you know?"
"Uh, you realize you just pretty much called me unattractive?" asshole. Nothing worse than a guy friend who is too honest with you.
"No. You know you hot. But you aren't exactly hitting the weight room woman. This girl had a body like a gymnast. Six pack abs and all. So we get on the bed and I realize she is cool to the touch. Not freezing but cool. Most of my honeys are hot as hell by the time we get to his point. But her skin feels smooth like you wouldn't believe. So I figure all systems go. Anyway we start in and she insists on being on top. Bella I ain't gonna lie to you. This girl damn near broke my dick. She was going slow but, yeah. So she starts growling and holding on to the headboard and the damn thing starts to crumble in her hands. That freaked me out but I was enjoying that smooth skin on her ass and I realize she isn't exactly hot on the inside. You know what I mean? Her pu…"
"YES Ty! I get what you mean."
"Right. So she is hotter there than the rest of her but still kind of cool. So I'm thinking this is kind of weird when she goes to shakin like her lady parts are worked up? The big O? Boom goes the dynamite? You get me?"
"Yes Ty." I sighed.
"Anyway she hops off of me and begins shaking on the bed. I'm glad she did. I could pretty much guaranteed she would have broke my dick clean off if she had stayed on. Especially how she was shaking. I guess she was sensitive or I was just that damn good. Anyway, I get the hell out of bed and grab my clothes. I'm heading to the door when suddenly the bitch is in front of me. I have no idea how she moved that fast. She tells me she fucking loves me. You believe that shit?"
"Imagine. A girl expecting to be loved after sex. What the hell was she thinking?" I rolled my eyes. Men.
"Right. But she is staring to freak me out so I tell her I love her too but I got to get home and get some sleep before practice. She kisses me and starts to tear up and shit. So I look her in the eyes and notice they are fucking red."
Oh shit.
"You didn't notice her eye color till after you fucked her?" I whispered.
"Course not. I told you what kind of body the girl had. What do you think I was lookin at?"
Cold, red eyes, freaky strength and speed. This cannot be good.
"Now I see her all over campus. She smiles and waves. She likes to hang our under trees. She approached me last week at night. She wanted to go on a date. I begged off in my usual smooth manner but she wasn't havin it. Says I told her I loved her and I was hers now. I told her I would go out with her the next night and stood her up. Now I've seen her around campus everywhere. Always in the shade except one time. Bella this is some weird shit but…I swear a ray of sunshine broke through the leaves and she fucking sparkled. She was wearing some body glitter shit all over. That pretty much confirmed to me that this bitch is a freak. I don't mean the good kind of freak either. I mean obsessive, paternity suit filing freak."
Son of a bitch. Motherfucker. Damn it to Hell. Why me? Why? Son of a bitch.
"Anyway I don't know if she is going to show up there. But if she does maybe you could talk to her for me?"
"Uh…why don't you?" I sure as hell wasn't talking to her. Running from her yes. Talking no.
"Who distracted the security guard while you and your 'friend' were getting it on at mid court?"
Fuck.
"You."
"Who pulled you out of the fountain in front of the English building while you were reciting Shakespeare in your bra and panties drunk off your ass?"
Damn it.
"You."
"That time you were about to smoke that nasty weed who took it from you and gave you some of the good shit?"
"You."
"So you gonna have my back on this crazy bitch or not?"
Damn it.
"Yes." I'm not talking to her but I better stay around to keep him out of trouble.
"So you gonna pack your shit? We leave in thirty minutes See you outside. We're takin Brett's suburban. Got a nice big lake house. You will love it. Plenty of shade to make sure no rays of sunshine ever touch you."
"Great." I mumbled.
"Don't forget the sunscreen so your lily white ass don't fry."
With that said Ty pulled me into his problems. Idiot fucked a vampire. Unbelievable. Wait…
"Ty? Did she give you her name or did you even bother to ask?"
"Yeah I asked. I'm a gentleman. Her name is Bree Tanner. Weird name huh?"
Jasper POV
"We await your orders Major."
Damn I loved these. Me. A horse. A sword. Reenacting a battle my side actually won. Second Manassas. Thankfully it was a cloudy day. Since I don't have Alice anymore I have to hope for cloudy days and rely on the Weather Channel. Not that she would have told me about this anyway. She hated these things.
Which is why I didn't miss her. Among many other reasons.
She blamed me for Bella not taking Edward back. Says I traumatized her. Says she couldn't forgive me.
Bullshit. That girl has gone through vampire attacks and fucked werewolves. She ain't traumatized by shit. Single life suited me just fine. I wore jeans and hadn't been to Paris since we broke up. Life was good. Still the girl I traumatized stayed on my mind. She was pretty boring when she was with Edward. But after we came back…damn she had some fire. I wondered what she was doing now?
"Major? Your orders?"
"Attack motherfucker. It's a standing order." I growled. Too bad this wasn't a real war. Fake killing would have to hold me over though. I rode into battle and watched the fake fighting going on around me. We had to hold the line for Stonewall. I wasn't actually a Major today. I was Cnl. J.E.B. Stuart. Course those weren't cavalry men. Mike the plumber just fired the blank load in that cannon. Still I insisted on being called Major. I like to stick to one rank.
My phone buzzed and I pulled it out of my shirt pocket while Billy the carpenter fake fought a Union regiment and was shouting that Jackson was standing like a stone wall. Wrong time for that. It wasn't his line either. I thought of ordering him to shut the fuck up but he was having fun so screw it. I saw my phone sent me a weather report. Damn it!
Sunshine tomorrow. Rain moving to the North. Guess I would be missing the decisive battle and seeing the Yankees run.
"Major? You think you could put the phone up sir? We are in a battle." Some bald headed guy, I think his name was Frank, asked me.
"See that regiment of Yankees, Private? They are a bunch of dentists. I think you can handle them. Now shut up. You're disturbing my horse."
I love reenactments but c'mon. When your phone buzzes you have to see what is going on. Edward might be tweeting about the tragedy that is life. Hate to miss those.
I looked up and saw my troops were performing admirably. I hate that I have to miss this tomorrow. I suppose I would get to hang with the troops tonight though. Pour over some maps with the Generals. Take my leave and promote some lucky guy to being J.E.B. Stuart. I could always go home and…read.
My phone rang. I didn't have to see the caller ID. The ring tone said it all. I got a Brand New Girlfriend by Steve Holy. I didn't have one yet but I was keepin my eyes open. Still the joy of not having to put up with her ass made the song special to my heart.
"What do I owe the pleasure Alice? Carlisle cut off your allowance and you need money to shop? Cause bitch you ain't getting any."
"I can see the future Jasper. I don't need your money. I'm calling about Bella."
"Bella Swan?" What the hell?
"No Bella Prysenksi. I see you haven't gotten any smarter since you've been gone. Yes Bella Swan."
"God I miss your peppy little banter you fucking munchkin. What about Bella?"
"She is in trouble."
"Big surprise. What did your brother do now?"
"Nothing. We aren't around her. He wants to give her space and try again in a few months. Hope she cools down. Bella is going to be face to face with a vampire with red eyes soon. Like in a few days. I need you to protect her."
"Is it Victoria?"
"No. I don't know who. It is a girl though. She looks young. She won't be happy to see Bella."
"I'm confused. You said I was the reason she won't take Edward back. Why do you want me to go now? Why not you and Ed or one of your other family members? Mommy and Daddy busy?"
"If Edward and I go she will be angry that we are interfering in her life. Rosalie hates her so she won't let Emmett go. Carlisle and Esme are in London for the next two weeks. Plus if you can help her maybe she will forgive you and it will help smooth the way for Edward to be back in her life."
"You gotta be fucking kidding me. You think I'm going to go protect her so Edward can be back in her life?"
Damn this little girl had balls. Great big ones.
"Yes. You owe this family Jasper. Bella would be a part of it, if it wasn't for you."
"You are the one who told me I didn't have time to hunt and then didn't see her having a paper cut!"
"I made a mistake. I didn't figure it would be a big deal. You were around her blood in Phoenix."
"Yeah but I was fighting then. You know how I get when I am fighting." I explained for the thousandth time.
"Are you going to go or not?" she asked.
"Yeah. But not so your pansy brother can ease his way back into her life. I'm going to help out someone I respect. Where is she going to be?"
"I'm texting you the location now. It's Arizona so you will have to be careful. Its bright most of the time."
"Yeah I've heard. I do live in Texas you realize?"
"She will be approached at night. I can't see anything after this."
"No problem. I wonder why she went to college in one of the sunniest places in the world? Think that might be sending a message to Ed? He ever get the smell of Tyler Crowley and sex out of his car?"
"He bought a new one and burned his old one."
"Anything else?" I asked, already tired of the sound of her voice.
"How have you been?"
Fuck no.
"I've been wonderful. I live where I want. It's quiet. No fucking classical music every time I turn around. I wear what I want. Got a new cowboy hat the other day. Actually it's used and beat to shit and I love it. Even got a big old rattlesnake hatband for it."
"Tell me you are not wearing that hat, Jasper?"
"Not at the moment but it will be on my head the moment I get back in my truck." I grinned.
"I didn't mean to destroy you like this." She whispered.
"Maybe you missed the part where I said I am wonderful. I wasn't being sarcastic. Single life suits me Alice."
"I can't believe you are dressing like that. How did I not see this coming?"
"Probably because I don't plan my wardrobe. I get up and throw whatever shit smells the least offensive on. Occasionally I do laundry. Then I throw on the first damn pair of jeans and shirt I can grab. Spontaneity Alice. Your mortal enemy."
"Keep her safe Jasper. I want my friend back. She will eventually forgive us."
"Yeah? Well she already forgave me. I never once felt a spot of anger from her towards me. You and Edward? Fuck load of anger. I mean a fuck load. Me…well I won't tell you the feelings she had about me. It wasn't love but there was a bit of lust involved." I grinned. I knew this would piss her off.
"Like you would have a chance with her. She can do much better than some poorly dressed vampire who has forgotten how to speak English. Besides she wouldn't do anything with you. She knows we are married…"
"Divorced."
"Doesn't matter. She wouldn't do that to me. It's against the girl code."
"Alice from what I know of Bella Swan she would fuck me in your Porsche just to piss you off. I gotta go. Got a girl to rescue. See you around chick."
"Jasper…"
I ended the call before she could finish the sentence. You would think she would have seen me hanging up on her coming.
Bella Swan. This certainly sounds like more fun than fake fighting with Mike the plumber.
I wonder what her reaction to me would be without Alice and Edward around. I always wanted a chance with her. Should I take it?
Who am I kidding? Of course I will.
A/N Let me know guys. We gonna continue this train wreck or not?
