My blood roared into my ears as Jasper burst out laughing. His laugh was loud enough and made him so beyond handsome that some people openly began to stare. "You've been coming for me since the time we've met yet me being direct does this to you?"

   "You shocked me." His eyebrows raised at that. "I don't know everything, Jasper." I felt as though I was trying to speak through a giant lump in my throat. "The visions I have don't tell me everything. Sometimes they don't even happen."

   "You have visions? Of the future?" His eyes widened in surprise.

   "Your mind-reading brother didn't tell you?"

   Rage temporarily crossed Jasper's face before evaporating. "We haven't exactly been on the best of terms lately." He admitted slowly. "With him wanting to kill Bella and obsessing over her and all."

   A comfortable silence passed over us as food arrived. Steaming steak, Mac and cheese, and plenty of French fries. I went to town without thought. My shoulder burned from my scrapes which made me wince as I reached for the A1 sauce. Jasper watched me silently with a content look on his face even as his cool hand touched my shoulder lightly.

   "Ow!" I slapped his hand away while I glared at him. "What was that for?"

"Sorry. Just checking if it's as bad as I think it is before Carlisle takes a look at you after dinner. We should be able to get you home at a decent time and it'll let me switch vehicles." He tucked my hair behind my ear gently.

   "Okay." I shoved more food into my mouth. A checkup was the last thing I wanted, but I'd finally get to meet the family that kept visiting me in my dreams. "Why a vehicle though?"

   "I don't want Chief Swan shooting me for dropping you off on a motorcycle. Hardly seems smart." He shoved his plate towards me since my plate was emptied.

"Did you like barbecue when you were human?" My dreams kept telling a ton. Like how Emmett will keep trying human food to everyone's disgust.

His mouth twisted a bit. "Oh yeah. Doesn't come through so clear anymore, but I can remember Ma making stuff like this."

   The statement made me frown. "Your memories as a human fade?" The idea of not remembering Bella, Mom, or Charlie was awful.

   "Almost immediately, but depends on the vampire. Rosalie remembers the most." At those words, I'd finally maxed out on food. I pushed it away from myself as Jasper quietly paid the bill. Since I'd quit my cashiering job to move out here, it was much appreciated.

   I was running out of shopping funds pretty quickly since I'd been helping to fuel our monstrosity of a truck.

Jazz grabbed my hand as we walked out into the night. Charlie had given me and Bella a midnight curfew so it didn't look like it'd be a problem. The night life of Port Angeles had come to life, reminding me that it was a Friday. Everything seemed so unreal, and the throbbing in my shoulder just seemed to heighten the issue.

"C'mon let's get you a helmet."

I tried to suppress my groan at the thought of what that would do to my hair.

"You have a ten o' clock curfew?" Bella groaned in despair. Angela and her stood outside the movie theater where Angela had agreed to meet for her dad to pick her up. "I could've taken you home, you know. There's no need for him to go all this way."
