The Life of Julie Swan Book II

Chapter Four

"It's been three months, Jasper." I whisper biting my finger anxiously as I watch Bella.

She sat staring out her window practically everyday since he left her. She's taking it so hard. I mean I get it. If Jasper ever left me I'd be devastated. Jasper pulls my finger away from my lips as he sent calming vibes towards me. 

"It'll be okay." He says gently. "It just takes time. We better get ready for school."

I nodded kissing his cheek before heading upstairs to my room and change into a black Henley and pair of skinny jeans and my chucks. I throw my hair into a messy bun before heading downstairs and to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

Once I finished I head downstairs to grab something for breakfast. Dad and Jasper sat at the table and I kiss each of their cheeks before grabbing an apple sitting in the extra chair. I look over at Jasper. 

"Are we riding in my truck or your Corvette?" I asked.

"Truck." He smiled at me before checking the time. "We better head out."

Both of us get up and I gave dad a kiss before throwing away the apple core and followed Jasper to the door and smile letting Jasper help me put on my coat. We walk out the door towards the truck. As I climb into the drivers side I watched Bella and dad walk out the house. I didn't want to be in this so once Jasper got in I took off towards school.

-

It was lunch and Jasper and I sat with Jessica and them. Jessica and I still don't like each other but we kept our thoughts to ourselves. Jasper leant down whispering in my ear.

"I'm going hunting tonight." He whispered. "But telling Charlie that I'm going to the old house to take care of the yard."

I nodded pecking him on the lips before turning to Angie listening as she talked about our quiz in English. This is our life for now.

-

I was with Bella and sadly Jessica. We just went to the movies and ate something. I blocked out Jessica's constant talking stopping when Bella stopped. I watched wide eyed as she walked towards men with motorcycles. 

"Isabella Marie come back here this instant!" I cried out and let out a annoyed sigh as she got on the back of a motorcycle.

"Oh my god." I groaned before turning and slapping Jessica. "Shut the fuck up." 

Sighing in relief she shut up as Bella came walking back over. I shook my head at her heading towards the car not wanting to deal with this.

-

"Are you freaking insane?" I asked Bella once we got in the house. 

Luckily dad wasn't home to hear me go off on Bella. She scratched the back of her head.

"I saw him." She whispered.

"Saw who?" I asked. 

"HIM." She pressed. "When I started walking towards the thugs he told me to turn around."

"Bella, you do realize that it's your figment of imagination?" I asked glancing towards the stairs hearing Jasper's light footsteps.

She sighed nodding her head sadly. "Yeah."

I pulled her to my chest and she clung to me crying while gripping onto my shirt. 

"Can Jazz calm you down?" I asked gently. 

She nodded into my chest and I lock eyes with Jasper who focuses on calming Bella. Soon enough she was calm enough to walk upstairs and go to bed. I sighed walking into the living room sitting down on the sofa with Jasper beside me.

"What happened, Darlin?" He asked. 

"She went up to some thugs on motorcycles and as she was going to them she saw Edward like in her imagination." I say.

"That's not healthy." He sighed. "I really hate Edward right now." 

"I do too." I sighed. "I'm going to bed."

I press a kiss to his lips before heading upstairs to bed. 

-

I woke up in the morning to someone shaking me. I pop one eye open to see Bella standing there dressed and ready to go somewhere.

"Where are you going?" I asked tiredly.

"Jake's." She sighed. "Jasper wanted me to tell you that he's going to be at the other house cleaning."

I nodded rolling over falling back asleep. 

-

I woke up to cool fingers running along my cheekbone. I open my eyes only to meet Jasper's gold eyes. He smiled at me leaning over pressing his lips against mine. I smiled closing my eyes inching my hand across his cheek and into his hair. I pulled back after my lungs started to burn.

"Sorry, still half human." I giggled. 

He smiled kissing me once more before climbing out of the bed holding out his hand. I grabbed it letting him pull me out the room and downstairs to the first floor. He leads me into the living room where Nightmare on Elm Street was playing on the tv and a bowl of popcorn. He sits down pulling me down with him. I smiled snuggling into his cool side as he played the movie.

-

Halfway through the third movie someone walked in the door. I look up to see Bella walking into the living room looking.. happy. I smiled patting the sofa beside me. She walked over and climbed onto the sofa snatching the popcorn from me causing me to giggle. I laugh as Bella let out a squeal jumping slightly before hiding her face in my shoulder. 

"Chicken." I smirked causing her to smack my arm. 

"Shush." She says.

--

I let out a yawn once the movie finished. I look down noticing Bella is asleep pressed against me. I groaned looking up at Jasper for help. He laughed about to stand up when dad walked into the room. 

"Dad!" I hissed. "Help!"

He laughed walking over and lifting Bella with a slight struggle and headed upstairs. Jasper and I cleaned up the living room before we headed upstairs. I gave him a kiss goodnight before heading up to my room. He won't come up to my room until after dad goes to bed and he's out of my bed and in his right before he wakes up. I changed into one of Jasper's shirts before climbing into bed and going to sleep.
