"Why can't we just drive into our driveway?" Rosalie asked the human girl as the family walked up their driveway, towards their house.
Theresa walked in front of the Cullen's, not wanting them to see the house first. Mostly scared of their reaction when they see the home.
"Um, you know," Theresa said, pausing to try to find the right words to say, "There's some glass. I didn't want your tires to be cut" She said, turning around to smile at the family.
"Glass?" Carlisle asked Theresa but answered his question as he saw the house.
The Cullens stood still in shock as Theresa's lips formed a straight line and nodded.
"Yeah, just some glass," Theresa said as if on purpose, one of the railings fell off of the porch.
"In her defense," Esme said as Carlisle looked at the house, mouth open in shock, "I asked you to fix that."
"I'm sorry everyone," Theresa said, apologizing. She didn't need to have special empath powers like Jasper to tell that the family was upset that their home was destroyed.
Carlisle took a deep breath before speaking, "It's okay Tess" He said, placing a hand on her shoulder, "We left you, and your emotions mixed with your powers took over. I don't blame you."
"I do," Rosalie said, glaring at her before walking towards the house, kicking glass aside with her shoe as she did.
Emmett cleared his throat before speaking, "I'm going to follow her."
Everyone watched as Emmett ran after Rosalie, "Rose!"
Everyone stayed quiet, looking at the house. Theresa jumped as a hand touched her shoulder. She turned her head to see Alice smiling at her.
"It's okay," She said, comforting the girl, "We'll help you control your powers. I've seen it." Theresa nodded, not saying anything.
"I think I'm going to go home now. Charlie gave me a curfew that I have to follow" Theresa said, Alice removing her hand from Theresa's shoulder.
"Drive home safe sweetheart," Esme said, walking towards Theresa with open arms. Theresa felt the woman wrap her arms around her. Theresa hesitated before hugging her back. When the two stepped away from the hug, Esme gave the human girl a small smile before walking into the house hand in hand with Carlisle to assess the damage done.
Alice smiled at Theresa before wrapping her arms around her, "Text me" She said, dropping her arms and waving bye before following after her adoptive parents.
After Alice left, Jasper was the only Cullen left outside. He stood behind Theresa, hands in pockets, as he looked at her.
Theresa felt him staring at her, but she refused to turn around, knowing the second she did she would run into his arms and forgive him.
"Tess, I-" Jasper started to speak, but was cut off by Theresa turning around , "I don't care what you have to say. If I listen to you, I might forgive you, and right now...you don't deserve that."
Theresa finally made eye contact with him. Her eyes were watery with tears, some already escaped, falling down her cheeks.
"What is a mate?" Theresa asked him, wanting to know what it meant after Aro said that she was Jasper's.
"It's a connection," Jasper said, "Between our souls."
"Did you know?" Theresa asked, brown eyes looking into Jasper's golden ones, "Yes."
"You knew that we were mates and still left me?" Theresa asked, tears freely flowing down her cheeks.
"I left because of that!" Jasper yelled, "I left to protect you."
"No," Theresa said, shaking her head as she walked over to him, pushing her pointer finger into his chest, "You left because you're scared."
Jasper just looked down at the girl, jaw clenched tightly.
"Mate or not- you hurt me. And I cannot forgive you, Jasper Whitlock Hale."
With that being said Theresa walked past the vampire towards her truck, getting in and driving away, not saying another word. Leaving the Cullen vampire thinking of ways to win back his mate.
