Hopeless Devotion ~ A Jasper Hale Story

Chapter 3 - Edward's stupidity

Wednesday, September 16th, 2005

I got up and wandered down, I know to keep a close eye on bella and have asked to speak Edward this morning.  Bella may not like my decision on how this is going about, but honestly she could do a hell of a lot better than Edward, my sister is too much of a people pleaser to be with him. Honestly if She gave Jacob an actual chance I tthink they could be happy. Based on the Jacob I grew up with he would follow her anywhere. Go down to her door and just whispered, 

"Edward?"

No response.

So I wander down stairs and step outside under the patio of the eback porch, Dad had already left for work, for a early shift and wouldn't be back till late.

I called him.

Ring. 

Ring.

"Tiffany."

"Edward."

"Alic-" I interupt him (edward)

"I am past trying to convince you, beccause you don't avtually give a shit because you ans I both know he feels all ya'lls thirst. I swear to go if Alice is right ans you strand her in the fucking woods knowing good and well she is A. directionally challenged and B. Clumsy as Fuck. I am sure Jasper will give away your location to beat his ass." I nearly scream into the phone.

"What?" He sounded suprised. (edward)

"Don't you fucking what me." should I be this pissed probably not, he is just breaking my sisters' heart knowing exactly what it's going to do to her. "You're stupidity is the reason I am in this mess, How am I supposed to leave for if my sister is a fucking zombie?!"

"Jasper is one his way-" I could litterally hear the fear in his voice,

"Oh does that mean you're driving her to school and you better get her some fucking earbuds and have icecream stocked in the house." I respond 

"Also rose, Alice You guys better spend the day with me." I say

"Edward, this is not a warning. I already met Kate and She would love to tase you... Be smart." I say as I felt overwehmingly calm and cold arms wrapped around me.

"end the call, my love." His voice was stern but  icould hear the amusment in it too His eye were honey colored

I press the red end button on my phone.

"He has to do this carefully, Jaz." I looked at him.

"Dad will send a search party and the tribe has the wolves." I cried, "He is going to pissed off more people than Charlie."

"I know love." He responds but he doesn't, 

Alice has an inkling but the problem is they won't be the one having to change thier life around bella after they move they can continue on thier immortal lives without her and I her sister get to live the 'new Bella' the Bella that will have no life to her.

I pace now noticicing the sun coming up and knowing Bella would be coming  downstairs she gets ready seeming down and deppressed and I look at Jasper whom she does not notice adn as she walks to the door I tell her "Tomorrow you and I are going to Port angles to the Book and news store, There is also the odyssey Bookshop.." leavin no room for her to say no

Bella looks at me and smiles a little "okay," and then leaves to go to School.

I look up at Jasper "We need to go grocery shopping and I grab my purse and lock the house door as Jasper starts the car. 

We collect mine and Bella's favortie Icecreeam flavors and I grab some of Charlie's too, I then stock us up with snacks and food for the week. Jasper asn I fill up the car with groceries and Jasper did a decent job of helping while staying 'human'.

Once Home I packed everything up and Grab orange hiking tabs, Nails, and a hammer to show a trail hoping Bella would come back to the house knowing it would be useless.

Jasper read alloud the new Half Blood Prince book that came out this summer,  we had started it a while ago so after we finished the last Chaper Jasper and I said our final goodbye's as It was starting to get dark and I started looking for Bella.

I grab my coat, and extra coat for Bella, just in case ans way too many hand warmers. I place everything in a small backpack and grab a flair gun and a flashlight leaving a note to charlie that I have proper matierials and am going to look for bella. And Yes, I have my Phone.

Could this be a stupid idea? Yes. 

Am it doing this anyways? Yes.

I start trecking out  calling our for Bella.

BELLA!!

BELLA!! 

I could tell where she was headed based on the movement of the leaves on the ground, but otherwise ther was no Sign of Bella.

I continued screaming, and gained no response. untill I saw a green jacket lump on the ground 

"Bella!?" I screached 

She didn't move, I 

try to move her she acts as dead weight, and to be honest I am not sure if she is awake or not, however she was breathing, cursing Edward with every other word. I was tempted to send a petty "you are dead to me" and a "Hope you burn in Hell." to him but had other things to focus on.

I activate the Hand warmer and made her hold them. 

So she was awake, but numb to the world.

"Bells, please I need your help to get back. Can you hop on my back?" I ask

She moves sluggishly with my help and with hand warmer in hand I sllipp the bookbag on her and and start to carry their back towards the house, I don't know how but were were miles and miles from the house. 

I am not as strong as you think so after ra while I set us down hoping to her the sound of help, because while I know the way bella's refusal to move on her own accord, which I personally blame Edward. 

Alice saw this happening and he still did it.

I slipped the extra coat on bella and brushed her hair and braided it the placed a hat over her head.

Eventually we did hear people calling for our names. I pull out the flair gun and shoot it through a hole through the trees where you could see the moon.

That's when I decided they would find us quicker if I made us stay put and let them find us.
