🌛CHAPTER 8🌜

*Elina's POV*

Bella and I walked towards the restaurant, just as Angela and Jessica came walking out, talking about a salad they just had.

"Hey, you guys, We're sorry. We just..." Bella says, being her awkward self, but Angela cut her off, "Where were you guys? We left both of you messages."

"Yeah, we waited, but we were, like,
starving, so we..." Jessica says, but trailed off when she saw Edward and Jasper standing behind us. "I'm sorry we kept Bella and Elina from dinner. We just sort of ran into each other and got talking." Edward says, with a smile, which Jessica couldn't help but stare at him.

"Yeah."

"No. No, we totally understand. I mean, that happens, right?" Jess says, as her jealousy was showing, I couldn't help, but smirk.

"Yeah, we were..."

"We were, yeah, we were just leaving. So..."

"Let's get this..."

"Bella, Elina, if you wanna..." The two girls wasn't sure what to say, they were actually speechless at the situation.

"I think we should make sure the girl's gets something to eat. If you'd like." Jasper says, asking our permission in the same sentence.

"I'll drive you guys home myself." Edward adds.

"That's so thoughtful." Angela says, probably thinking it was sweet of them.

"It's really thoughtful. Yeah." Jess says, being way to obvious that her jealousy was showing.

"I think that's a great idea, we should definitely eat something." I say, just wanting to rub in her face, it was mean of me, but I had a long night so far.

"Yeah." Bella says in agreement.

"Okay, so we'll see you tomorrow." Jess says, as they started walking away towards their car.

"Okay, yeah."

"See ya."

"Okay."

We ended up sitting at two different tables, which was better in some way, but always not.

"All right, one mushroom ravioli." The waitress says, putting my food down infront of me.

"Thanks." I say, staring down at my food.

"Yeah, no problem. So are you sure there isn't anything I can get for you?" She asks Jasper, trying to get his attention,but he wasn't even looking at her, as he says, "No. No, thank you."

"Let me know." She says, walking away.

"So, you aren't gonna eat." I say, already knowing the answer, but I didn't want him to find out.

"Elina, I know that you know about us, so drop the act." Jasper says, I stared at him in shock.

"How?" I ask.

"That's for another day, right now I want to make sure your okay, because your acting like nothing happened, but there's things that did happen." He says, looking at me, his eyes filled with worry.

"Jasper I'm fine." I says, but I knew he didn't believe that, because I wasn't even sure myself.

"How did you guys know where we were?" I ask curiously, because they got to us pretty fast.

"We might have followed you guys at a very far distance, only planning on showing ourselves when you would need our help, but after feeling their emotions, I couldn't just leave it." Jasper says.

"Feel what they feel?" I ask, confused at what he was talking about.

"Yeah, let's just say there's a lot of greed and lust going around. I wanted to keep you at arms length, but I don't want to do that anymore." Jasper says, I could only stare at him, as my heart felt like it was gonna beat out of my chest.

"Then just don't." I say shyly, eating the rest of my food, after we were done we paid for our meals, and got on the road, back to forks, Edward was nice enough to put the heat up, since it was freezing

"Okay, I think I'm warm enough now." Bella says, reaching for as the same time as Edward, making their hands touch. "Your hand is so cold." She says in shock, but Edward didn't comment on it.

I was holding onto Jasper's cold hand, enjoying the cold temperature of his skin.

We were about to pass the police station, but there was a lot more lights and cars, for something not to be going on.

"Whoa! What is going on?" Bella asks from the front seat

"Dad's still here. Edward could you pull in?" I ask, and he did just that. "That's our father's car on the end." Jasper says, as we climb out of Edward's Volvo.

"What is he doing here?" Bella asks, just as doctor Cullen came out of the police station.

"Carlisle, what's going on?" Edward asks.

"Waylon Forge was found in a boat pout near his place. I just examined the body." Doc says.

"He died? How?" Bella asks.

"Animal attack." Carlisle says, but from the way the three men was looking at each other, it told me that it wasn't an animal.

"Was it the same one that got that security guard down in Mason?" Bella asks.

"Most likely." Carlisle says.

"Well, it's getting closer to town, then." Bella says.

"Elina, Bella, you should go inside. Waylon was your father's friend." Carlisle states, and he was right, dad needed us right now.

"Talk later?" I ask Jasper, which he only nodded at, and I made my way inside the station, Bella following close behind.

"Hey." I spoke up, when I found dad sitting at his desk.

"Hey girls." Dad says sadly.

"Dad, I'm really sorry." Bella says, as we embraced our father in a comforting hug. "I've known him going on 30 years. Don't worry, we're gonna find this thing. Meantime, I want you guys to carry this with you." Dad says, handing each of us a can of pepper spray, I took it, Bella on the other hand was a little more hesitant, as she says, "i don't know if you..."

"It'll give your old man some peace of mind." Dad says, cutting her off.

"Okay." She says in agreement, taking it from him.

"Let's go home." Dad says, getting up and grabbing his jacket. Once we got home Bella ran off to her room, I took a bath and climb in my bed, but I wasn't able to sleep, the events that happened earlier fresh in my mind, and I kept thinking what would have happened if Jasper didn't show up.
