Jasper x reader

Pass on Baseball

A/N I cringed so hard when I was writing this. Just bear with me.

Passing the days at home seems to be the highlight right now. I only see Jasper at the library. It's almost like I don't exist at school. I won't lie. It hurts. Sometimes I see him at school staring at me and it's as if he can tell that I am scared that he doesn't really want to be around me.

But then I'll see him in our spot at the back of the library, and I'll forget all of the hurt that he has caused. I'll just want to catch up with him and tell him about my day.

Then, he invited me somewhere. He said that he wanted to take me to his family's home. I didn't feel comfortable with that. Even before I could answer, he must have read it on my face.

He immediately assured me that it was ok, and that maybe we should do something on our own first. Something official.

(Sorry, I'm lazy and don't want to write the date itself, just picture it as the perfect date in your mind.)

It was amazing. Where he took me. The places we saw, and the conversations we had. I didn't realize there was so much to do in such a small town. At the end of it all, we went to the forest right in my backyard. We found a fallen tree to sit on, and we kinda just sat there.

There wasn't much to say. I had some questions, but I had so much fun on what I thought was a date, that I didn't want him to think I was crazy.

Bells had some theories that she shared with me. She hasn't said a word about them now, but for some reason, they keep boiling up inside me. She never just drops something like. And she is still hanging with Edward, so she must have said something. I know my sister, and she is a very stubborn person once a thought is in her head.

I look over at Jasper, and he is already looking over at me. I frown a bit and I get this weird feeling he knows exactly how I'm feeling and what I'm thinking.

I take a breathe to forge into this weird topic when out of nowhere-

"Yes"

I stare into his eyes with a confused look, and all I can think of is, no.

"Yes. It's true."

Realization dawns on me, and I naturally lean back from him, ever so slightly.

Hurt crosses his face, before he leans forward, words rushing out his mouth.

"Please, you have to believe me that I would never hurt you. I only want what's best for you. I want you to be happy and safe."

"But your a-"

" I know what I am. It isn't something that I can change, although I would in a heartbeat in order to have a normal life with you. But the best way in my mind to keep you safe would be to be there to protect you from anything else."

"This is all happening very fast. I don't really know what to think. I mean, we just went on a first-"

He lights up with hope. "Say it was a date. Say that you feel what I'm feeling here. It can't just be me. I know it isn't"

"You know?"

He becomes sheepish. "I can feel others' emotions. It's a gift that came with it all."

"And your entire family?"

"All of them. But they don't all have gifts."

I nod and look in front of me. Thinking. Somehow I knew something like this was coming. I could feel it.

There were too many odd things happening.

For some reason, this was what made it all add up. It's what made the most sense.

With acceptance, I turn back to him.

"Ok."

I smile and he visibly relaxes.

"Ok. Umm, well, uh, would you like to come with me tomorrow, and uh, play some baseball with my family?"

"Isn't it supposed to rain and thunder tomorrow?"

He grins. "Well that's kind of the point darling. If you come, you'll see what I mean."

"Baseball. Not really my thing."

"Ok, maybe another time then."

We stood up and walked back to my house.

As I walked back into my house, I felt the foundation of my life changing once again. I never thought it would change as much as it did when I moved out here, but here I am, being proven wrong, and being glad about it.
