florence thought moving to forks would give her a break from the supernatural and the unknown but being a demigod, she should've known there was no such thing as a break from anything.

jasper had tried to ask florence what her mother had said but she refused to tell him.
nobody knew except edward (unfortunately), alice and her fellow demigods.
there wasn't much they could really do.
nothing good came to those who tried to go against aphrodite. she liked things her way and her way only.
especially for her children.
it's been a couple weeks since the battle and in that time, the demigods spent practically all their time with the cullens.
edward and bella announced their engagement to the family so florence and alice were busy planning, which only aided her in avoiding on telling jasper what happened between her and her mother.
"to be fair, jasper is in fact a southern gentleman. he's practically parent proof, flower! maybe you're just thinking too much." alice said as she and florence looked through cake flavors.
"i guess you could be right, maybe i am being a bit of a worrywart."
"see! now, how does red velvet sound? that sounds good, seeing as i've never had it" alice chirped, pointing at it in the catalogue.
florence agreed, trying to not let her growing worry and anxiety show.

"i know you may have your reasons for not telling me, but i can feel your anxiety."
jasper had cornered her while she went outside for some fresh air after an intense uno game with emmett and alister.
"i-i don't know what you're talking about"
"your hands are shaking and i can hear your heart thumping. what's wrong? i'm worried." jasper asked softly, taking her hands into his icy ones.
florence took a deep breath before meeting his eyes, willing the tears that threatened to coat her eyes to stay back.
"i don't think i'm ready to tell you. my mother, she can be.. difficult, you could say." florence breathed, a shaky laugh leaving her.
she felt herself calm slowly, it felt like cool water was being washed over her body, soothing her.
"thank you." she mumbled, leaning into the vampire as he took her into his arms.
"my pleasure, darlin'" he said, giving her a small squeeze.
florence could almost hear the smile in his voice. she felt bad for not telling him and worrying him but she didn't think it'd do any good telling him.
she had heard stories of her mother's meddling from the few siblings she knew.
she didn't want to put jasper through that.
and she'd do anything to protect him from it.
