Eternally Yours

Chapter 10

(How I picture Jasper holding Hope, very intimate and almost possessive, knowing she likes to be held close as much as he likes doing it.)

It is not the strongest of the species that survive

Nor the most intelligent

But the one most responsive to change.

“I’ll be going with you of course.” Jasper stated as if it was obvious and I spun around quickly.

“No…no you won’t. I don’t want you anywhere near the people who almost destroyed my family Jasper.” Over the last 2 months I had been making friends with witches and having them help me out with what had happened to my family. They had given themselves up to Marcel for me, so that my mother could take care of me and give me a normal life, until of course she dumped me in the foster system and skipped town, god knows where she is now. My aunt and uncles were all daggered in his house as well as my father who had a cursed blade stuck in his chest.

“And now you know how I feel about you going there by yourself.” He snarled, as we walked into the cafeteria after history. It was the last day before graduation and everyone was really excited.

“Fine, I’ll figure something out, don’t worry about it right now.” He nodded, sitting at the table beside me and letting me eat off his plate. I loved the fact that I could still eat, even if I didn’t need to, and Esme loved it too since she could still feed Bella and I for the rest of eternity.

“I’ve decided to throw a party.” Alice grinned, Derek sitting beside her.

“After all, how many times are we going to graduate high school.” Jasper teased and I giggled as he tickled my sides, making me squirm.

“At your house? I’ve never seen your house.” Jessica muttered.

“No one’s ever seen their house.” Eric spoke up and they all agreed happily.

“Hot off the press, get them while you can. Yearbooks everyone.” Angela declared and I grinned.

“50 right?” I asked, pulling out my wallet before Jasper handed over a 50 to her and she handed him a book, which he gave to me, pulling me to lean against his chest and wrapping his arm around my neck, kissing my head. “I could have done that babe.” He chuckled in my ear and it gave me chills down my spine.

“I know darlin’, but I like spoiling you.” I rolled my eyes, beginning to look through it as he chatted with Alice and I froze on a ‘Most Likely To-‘ page. I pulled out of Jasper’s grip, jumping up and running over to Bella, shoving my book in her face.

“Bella! Look!” I insisted and she read the page, seeing the picture of Jasper and I that Angela took last year of us in a similar position to the one we were just in.

“That’s amazing! I voted for you.” She told me and I stared at her for a while.

“When was this?”

“2 months ago, about the time the Cullen’s came back. A lot of people were happy you were back together.” Bella shrugged.

“What’s going on darlin’?” Jasper asked and I walked back over to him, showing both him and Alice the page.

“Most Likely To Be Together For Eternity.” Alice read and awed at the picture of us. I felt my mate kiss the side of my head tenderly when he realized how happy this made me.

“Why does this mean so much to you?” He asked as the bell rang and I slid the book into my bag.

“Because it means other people see how perfect we are together, and that brings me joy, also I love the jealousy of others, I thrive upon it.” I chuckled and he grinned, pulling me to his side as we walked towards our next class through the fog.
