Eternally Yours

Chapter 5

Come with me now to see my world

Where there’s beauty beyond your dreams

Can you feel the things I feel right now with you

Take my hand

There’s a world I need to know

“This is weird.” I stated as I stepped off of Jasper’s motorcycle, pulling the helmet off and seeing everyone in the car park staring. Jasper had insisted we ride his bike today, and though I objected he felt how excited I got about it and lifted me onto it, handing me a helmet with kitty ears that was painted like the Cheshire cat.

“Did you expect anything less? Just ignore them darlin’, they’re all jealous.” I smiled, waving at my sister who was grinning at me like crazy from her truck. I stood beside the family, Alice going on to me about a new dress she wanted to buy, until I heard the screeching of tires and spun to see a truck about to crush my sister. I felt Jasper tense up and knew he was about to go to her when suddenly Edward was already there, stopping the van with his bare hands. “Let’s go.” Jasper shoved me back onto his motorcycle as the others drove away and I held onto him. He waited for a few moments until the ambulance showed up and loaded Bella up, before driving after them, stopping at the hospital. He was about to shut the engine off but I stopped him.

“Go be with your family Jasper, I don’t want you to have to be in a hospital, the blood has to be hard for you.” He shook his head as I stepped off the bike and handed him the helmet back.

“Your blood calms me. As long as you’re close by I don’t have as much of a problem.” I hesitated but nodded as he shut the bike off and followed me inside. “By the way, the helmet is yours, I had it made for you last week.” I stared, shocked for a moment but sighed, knowing I would have to get used to him buying me things. I’m fine with it as long as he knows not to go overboard.

“Hey Bella, are you okay?” I asked, running in a hugging her tightly, seeing Carlisle look her over with Charlie standing beside her. I walked back over to Jasper after seeing him stiffen and allowed him to nuzzle into my neck like he always does. I’ve grown accustom to it in the day and a half he’s been doing it and I don’t think I would ever want him to stop.

“I’m good. No broken bones, mild concussion, that’s all.”

“Thank god.” Carlisle smiled when he looked at his newest son. He had expressed to me this morning just how glad he was that I was here for Jasper, he seems to think I really balance him out.

“Are you alright Hope?” Charlie asked, looking from me to Jasper and I nodded.

“Of course, I was across the lot with Jasper. Alice drove me to school this morning and Jasper brought me here behind the ambulance.” He nodded but didn’t say anything else, not seeming to care too much, which I didn’t mind.

“Jasper, Hope, can we talk please?” I nodded, grabbing Jasper’s hand and pulling him out behind Carlisle to see Edward and Rose standing at the end of the hall.

“You shouldn’t have done it.” Rose growled as we got there.

“What was I supposed to do, just let her die?!” He snarled and I flinched back, making Jasper growl at Edward, who took a step away from me.

“If he hadn’t moved I would have, I won’t let my mate’s sister die.” Jasper spoke to his ‘twin’.

“Yes, well, your decision affects us all, be careful with your next move Edward. We were very lucky that Hope took this so well, she’s Jasper’s mate, she’s entitled to know. Bella is not.”
