The front door is opened and shut aggressively and I groan. "Bella's home." Sure enough I was right when I hear foot steps bound through the house and up the stairs into the room across the hall where the door is forcefully closed.

"I should probably go check on her." I say sitting up and away from Jas. He sighs. "Yea of course Darling. Do you want me to wait for you?" He asks giving me these puppy dog eyes that won't ever allow me to say no not that I'd want him to leave anyway. "Of course I do. I'll be back in a few." I say as I lean down and capture his lips with mine. We pull apart and I get up pulling on a pair of my favorite fuzzy pants. I exit my room making sure I close my door behind me.

I make my way over to her door and knock. "Bells? It's me, can I come in?" I hear a muffled 'Yea' and I enter the room.

I close the door behind me and make my way over to my sister who is sat at her desk with her laptop open and the book she bought out.

"How'd your time with Edward go?" I make sure to phrase the question correctly as to not scare her even more than she already seems. She's like a jumpy cat that just needs to be quietly spoken to so as not to spook her.

"It was fine I guess. I'm not really sure just yet." She says blankly. Something's up.

"You wanna talk about it?" I ask hesitantly. She spins toward me in her chair and sighs. "I feel like there's something going on with Edward and the other Cullens, Jasper included. There's something off about them and I'm determined to figure out what it is." I sit down at the end of her bed while im trying to decipher her words. Obviously she knows something otherwise she wouldn't be making a big deal out of it. She's gotta have a clue.

"What do you think is going on?" I ask curiously already having a suspicion.

"I know it sounds crazy but hear me out." She swivels back to her computer and shows me what she has pulled up. 'Cold One' 'The Immortal Drink' 'Scourge of The Ganges' 'The Demon's Dismemberment'. She highlights certain words in the texts with her cursor, 'undead' 'speed' 'strength' 'cold-skinned' 'immortal' 'drank blood'.

"What are you getting at Bella?" I ask. "I think they're something supernatural. Everything I've found online and in this book and everything I know from what I've seen, heard or felt has me thinking vampires." She says almost like she's expecting me to think she's insane, which if I didn't know what I know then I probably would think she's insane.

"Let me see what you got and tell me everything." I say in a skeptical tone as to not give away that what she's thinking is actually true. Come on Bella you got this. I silently root for her to come to the conclusion so I can stop lying to her. I hate lying to her.

"When we were in that accident, Edward and Jasper were no where near us. And the force Edward's hand had on the metal vehicle was not just an adrenaline rush. Tonight when he was driving me home we both reached to turn the heat down and when I touched his hand, it was ice cold. Not just your everyday winter cold, it felt frozen, touching ice frozen." I take in her words nodding my head along. "His eyes the first day we met were black and the next time I saw him 2 weeks later they were a honey color. This can't all be coincidence. I think him and the rest of the Cullens are vampires."

I take in her words allowing the realization that she's finally got it to sink in. In my head I'm jumping for joy but I maintain a calm composure. "Have you mentioned this to Edward or talked to anyone else?" I inquire.

She shakes her head, "No I've only talked to you and this is the first time I've said it out loud."

I sigh. "You gotta talk to him, tomorrow at school. Tell him what you're thinking and let me know how that goes." I say as I stand up and make my way to the door. "Wait." She says stopping me as my hand makes contact with the door knob. I turn back to her. She's looking at me with furrowed brows. "You don't think I'm nuts for insisting the Cullens' are blood sucking immortal vampires?" She inquires raising an eyebrow. I shake my head. "I'm not sure what to believe but I trust you. You're not just making this up."

And with that said I exit her room and enter mine quickly. I see Jasper still on my bed with one of my books now in his hand and he's reading it. 'The Red Queen' a really good series that I've read at least 3 times. He seems to be almost done with the first book. Maybe a chapter or 2 left.

I close the door allowing my presence to be known even though he probably already knew I was there.

I sigh and lean against the now shut door. Jasper looks up at me upside down and notices my expression.

He immediately stands up and makes his way over to me.

Worry and concern painted across his face as he tries to figure out what Bella and I talked about. I push away from the door and wrap my arms around Jasper's neck going up on my tip toes in order to reach his height better.

I smile against the skin of his collar and nuzzle in contentedly. He brings his arms around me and pulls me closer. "She knows." I whisper. "She figured it out, Edward didn't tell her and I have half a mind to kick his ass for not telling her but she knows and that's all that matters to me. She's confronting him tomorrow." I say barely getting a breath in. Jas gently runs his hands up and down my back comfortingly as I sigh once more pulling away.

"Alright, so she knows. Edward won't hurt her you know that." He says trying to decide what it is that I want to hear. I nod my head at his words allowing everything that's happened this evening and new pieces of information to sink in and become blank thoughts.

"I'm gonna try not to think about anything. I just want to sleep and I want my boyfriend and mate to cuddle me while I do." I say as I get out of the pants and back into the comfortable bed. I feel Jasper get in behind me and pull me close once again. This time allow myself to be consumed by the comforting feeling of drowsiness and sleepiness to overtake me and my blank thoughts.
