We Meet Again

Chapter 2

Jasper

Sitting in my room I start thinking back to a year ago when the pains in my chest started. I was no longer around Bella and I don't know why I cared. I think about the night we left Forks.

"We will be leaving tonight," Edward announces walking through the door.

"What do you mean," Esme asks?

"Bella broke things off. She doesn't want anything to do with us. Not after what she went through tonight," he says glaring at me.

"That makes no sense son. She seemed to be really worried about Jasper when everyone hauled him out of here," Carlisle says.

When are these people going to ask me what really happened, I think forgetting Edward could hear it.

"Jas, why did you just disappear from my visions?" Alice asks.

"If we have to leave then I'm heading back to Texas. Before you even ask Alice no you are not coming with me."

"Why can't I go with you?"

"Alice, would you like to explain what is really going on? I have a feeling everyone will eventually see the truth for what it is."

"What is he talking about Alice?" Rose asks.

"There's nothing to tell them Jasper."

"Well, to answer your question Alice and I are not mates. I also know that Edward is lying when he says Bella broke things off. I'll be packing and after I leave this house I do not want to see any of you again."

"Jasper, please don't say that." Emmett looks at me.

"Em, I'm sorry but I will not stay here. We'll talk when I get to Texas."

I had gone to Bella's house to find that every police car was out front. I kept running not stopping until I hit Texas. I applied at the Texas Southern University and got a job as a History Professor.

Yesterday, we got the names of the students that would be in our classes. When I reached my only freshman class I saw a last name I never thought I would see again.

"You've got to be kiddin' me!" Peter yells.

"Peter, I don't know what has gotten you all excited but stop it!"

I hear him tell Char that she is here and I look back down at the student list. Swan, I. Marie. Swan. The last name of Bella. It had to be her and if that was the case how far behind is Edward. I put the papers up and head down the stairs. I don't hear a heart beat so I assume he means that she's in town. I walk past them and out the door. I thought a scent in the main office smelt familiar earlier but I couldn't be sure at the time.

I walk outside to see a green truck sitting outside the gate. I start walking towards it and when the person sees me coming they back out. Once they do I catch the same scent of Bella Swan. I speed back inside as Peter puts the phone up to his ear.

"Isabella, why didn't you stop and say hello?" Peter asks.

"Is this Peter Whitlock? The one I got a letter from?" I hear her ask.

"Letter? Captain what letter did you send her?" I ask a little louder than I should have.

"Jasper is the reason I didn't stop and say hello." I raced out the door.

I sped down the road and when I got closer to her scent I slowed to a walk. I knew she wouldn't be expecting me and knew I would probably scare her but none of that really mattered. I opened the passenger door and hopped in. I shut the door making her look at me.
