Bella MacLeod's Twilight Fanfiction

An Imperfect Life

By Midnight Dreamer

Chapter 31: Un passo piu vicino alla sorte (one step closer to fate)

(SPOV)

Oh what a mess we have found ourselves in. Jasper is in love with Bella, Bella is in love with Jasper. Edward is heart broken. Alice is confused because she knows nothing that is going on. Edward won’t tell her anything. He is afraid if he does he will alter the future and Alice will leave Jasper and Edward will have no chance to get Bella back. Little does he know he will never get Bella back. Jasper has only been gone a day and already I can see the changes going on. Bella is worried about how Jasper will react to the new developments around the house here, I’m worried he will run off and leave Bella. The bond they have is strong but is it strong enough to keep him here? I know he said he loves her but I don’t know what this will do to him when he finds out. I can’t leave and go fix things in Italy until things with Bella are settled. If Jasper doesn’t take to the things going on here and he runs, I think I will ask Bella to accompany me to Italy and give Jasper the time he needs to come to terms with the changes. This way her mind can work through things as well. Okay so back up plan is in place. Jasper will be home in a few hours, Bella is sleeping still. Thank god for small miracles. I hope Bella was serious about helping me to find my soul mate. I would love nothing more then to settle down and stop hiding. It will shake the whole vampire world down to its very foundations once I resurface. The brothers will be down right livid when I show up there in a couple of days. But what else can I do. I can’t let them continue to run things this way. It is not how I wanted it to be. They have twisted and warped my vision into something unthinkable. Vampires shouldn’t have to hide from humans. I never have in the past and I’m not going to start now. But then again they glitter and I don’t. *chuckles* I can’t believe they glitter. That really is some kind of sick twisted joke. Evolution has a sick sense of humor. Then again it works to my advantage doesn’t it. I can stroll through the streets of Italy and never be known for what I really am. I wonder if Bella will glitter or will she be like me. It won’t be long before we find out. I hope she will be okay attending school in the next couple of weeks. Her changes are going to start coming on much quicker now that she is closing in on the proper age.

*****Dream*****

I was pacing the front porch of the house waiting on any news from Simon or Jasper. Simon was expecting him early in the morning. He made sure I wasn’t there when Jasper showed up. He didn’t want to put any pressure on him. Suddenly I could hear the sounds of running coming toward the house. I couldn’t tell at the moment who it was but they were coming fast. I branched out with my thoughts and that’s when I heard Simon.

“Bella!”

It didn’t take him long to be standing right in front of me.

“Simon what is it? What has happened?”

“Bella, Jasper came home this morning as you know and I met him at the door. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen and after saying our hello’s we entered the house. Esme of course was there and threw her arms around him to welcome him home. Emmett and Rosie were next to come down to see him.”

“Get to the point Simon!”

“Okay okay. Once all the hugging and stuff was over he asked to see Alice. Esme said she was in her room. As Jasper started to ascend the stairs he caught a whiff of the visitor Alice had in her room. He took off before I had a chance to talk to him. He is really fast when he is pissed off.”

“Point Simon”

“I’m getting there. Anyway so he opened the bedroom door to see Alice all draped over your friend and I thought he was okay at first until I saw his eyes go from gold to onyx in a split second. His thoughts were not his own. I know Jasper has had a rough past but I never expected to see this kind of anger.”

“The Major!”

“Who?”

“I’ll explain later continue.”

“Okay so anyway like I was saying he got so angry at what he saw. Alice jumped from the bed so fast I could have sworn she would rival Edward with his speed. She stood in front of the bed so Jasper couldn’t get to her new lover. Jasper must have planned his strategy as he was standing there cause what happened next was so quick I wasn’t even sure it happened.”

“what? What happened?”

“Jasper dove over Alice and almost had your friend almost completely drained before I got a chance to pull him off. Alice went to work quickly injecting him with venom so he wouldn’t die. After Jasper calmed down enough to realize what happened he was so upset with himself for not controlling his temper better he took off. I couldn’t stop him Bella. The only thoughts running through his head was to get as far away as possible.”

“Oh no. Simon.”

“I’m sorry Bella. He’s gone.”

“Is he coming back? Did he say anything about me?”

“No Bella he didn’t say anything about either.”

***** End Dream*****

NNNNOOOOOOOO! No it can’t be, this can not happen. I just found him and now he is going to leave again. Damn this stupid future seeing dreams. I was surprised that day after I spoke with Simon about Jasper to hear a knock on my door. I was thinking maybe Emmett had forgot his key and went to open it only to find a very happy looking Davey on the porch.

***FLASHBACK***

“Bella. It’s so good to see you. I have missed you so much. How is everything? Where is Emmett?”

“Whoa Davey. Calm down. I’ve missed you too. Everything is okay. Emmett is with his girlfriend.”

“oh why does that not surprise me. She is probably some hot cheerleader type too huh?”

“You could say that.”

“I knew it. So can I come in?”

“Oh yeah sure sure. Come sit down in the living room. Would you like something to drink, eat?”

“yeah thank you Bells that would be great.”

“No problem I spent most of the morning baking anyway.”

“Baking! Bella what is wrong. The only time you bake is if your upset about something.”

“Well I kind of broke up with my boyfriend, only to find out I love his brother who is also my best friends boyfriend. I told him this after I kissed him in front of the boyfriend I broke up with. Then he took off to Seattle for the weekend so he could sort through some stuff, and I’m worried about him.”

“OH”

“yeah. So anyway how are things with you? How is everyone back home?”

“Well Nicole and Joey are going steady. I graduated early, and Amber is still a stuck up Bitch.”

“oh so nothing to spectacular has happen since I left.” *chuckling*

“Nope nothing at all. How about here? Anything new to report. How’s Charlie?”

“Oh, yeah I guess you guys wouldn’t know huh.”

“wouldn’t know what Bells?”

“Well Charlie was killed in a shoot out not to far back. It was on the one year anniversary of mom’s death so it hit double hard.”

“Wow Bells I’m so sorry I didn’t know.”

“it’s okay Davey. I didn’t expect you too.”

“But if Charlie is gone who is taking care of you?”

“Well you see since Emmett is 19 now he is in full care of me. At least until my birthday. Charlie and Mom left us enough money to take care of each other and everything else so were are good.”

“that’s good to hear Bells. So what is going to happen with your house in New York and college? Are you still planning on going to NYU?”

“Well Davey the house is mine, Charlie made sure to leave it to me. Emmett and I both own this one, along with the rest of the family properties. As for college I still plan on attending NYU. Mom and Dad set up a college fund for both of us so we are taken care of that way. All we have to do is graduate high school.”

“So is Emmett starting anywhere in the fall?”

“No he is going to wait for me to graduate and then we are going to go off to college at the same time so I’m not left here alone while he is off gallivanting around some college campus.”

*laughing* “You sure got him pegged don’t you. I figured you and Emmett were both going to attend NYU?”

” No he changed his mind, he got several offers from many prestigious colleges out here on the west coast and I don’t think he wants to leave behind his girlfriend Rose.”

“her name is Rose.”

“Yeah and it fits her perfectly.”

“did Emmett use the Garden pick up line on her?”

“Yeah he did. But she bitch slapped him and sent him on his way. It was hilarious to see. But then we all got to be good friends and now they are all like a part of the family.”

“Speaking of Family. Is it just you and Emmett left now that your dad is gone?”

“um…No not really. My Uncle Simon is here. He is staying with us now.”

“Uncle I thought your mom and dad were only children?”

“Oh they are, he is my dad’s cousin. But we call him uncle.”

“oh I see. When do I get to meet this Uncle?”

“OH um I don’t know. How long you staying for? And where are you staying?”

“I’m here for the week, and as for where, I’m at a hotel in Port Angeles.”

“Well perhaps you can come back later tonight for supper and I will introduce you to the whole gang.”

“that would be great Bella”

So here I sit with Emmett, Rose, Simon, Carlisle and Esme, Alice, and believe it or not Edward. We are all waiting for Davey to arrive. Just as the clock strikes 7 a knock on the door startles everyone. How does he do that? No one even heard him coming. So much for super vampire hearing. I wonder if it is just them being nervous about Davey? As I open the door there stands Davey with a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of wine.

“Good evening Bella. These are for you.”

“Thank you Davey. They are very lovely.”

“I wasn’t sure what you were making so I brought red wine.”

“That will go perfectly with the pasta. Would you like to join everyone in the dining room.”

“Thank you kindly Bella.”

I watched as he walked into the dining room and went to the kitchen to check the food and put the flowers in water. I listened as Emmett said hello and introduced everyone. Even Uncle Simon. *chuckling* I swear I could hear him roll his eyes.

Oh Bella I will get you back for this Uncle stuff you know that right?

Oh suck it up it is only for one night. What else was I supposed to tell him. Oh by the way Davey this is my great however many times grandfather Simon but you would know him better as Dracula. Oh and yes he is a vampire! Would you like to join us for dinner later? That would have gone over like a lead balloon.

Okay, okay. Point taken. Now get in here I think Edward is going to have a hernia soon with the things Davey is talking about. Not to mention what he is thinking about you.

I’ll be right in.

Oh great that is all I need a jealous vampire who I don’t even love that way anymore, thinking of ways to kill my very human best friend. Okay here goes nothing. I entered into the dining room carrying the large pan of Ratatouille.

“Wow Bells that smells Delicious” Emmett

“Yes Bella Dear that smells simply marvelous” Esme

“I haven’t had your cooking in forever Bella but I can only imagine that it tastes as good as it smells” Davey

“Shall we eat then?” me

“Yes Lets” Simon

So here we all sat eating around my dinner table. Emmett was oohing and ahhing along with Simon. Davey was silently enjoying the meal. while all the vampires in the room were quickly disposing their meal into napkins on their laps. I on the other hand was just simply moving mine around the plate. I was still to worried about Jasper to eat anything. Simon kept stealing glances at me. I questioned him with my eyes and he silently responded.

Bella I think we may have a potential problem here.

What now Simon.

I believe your friend here is Alice’s soul mate.

What?

Yeah look at them. Then read their emotions and thoughts. I know you can do it. If you need comparisons look at Carlisle and Esme or Emmett and Rosalie.

Okay here goes.

I looked at Davey then at Alice who was locked into a staring competition with him. I closed my eyes and listened to the thoughts and feelings swirling around them.

Oh he is so handsome where has Bella been keeping him locked away? I wonder if he likes me? Wait what about Jazzy? Oh I don’t care we haven’t been together that way in a long time now.

Oh wow she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my entire life. I thought Bella was beautiful but this Alice is gorgeous.

Oh my ewe. This is so not happening. Jasper is going to be heart broken. I don’t know if I should let this happen but then who am I to stop them. I can’t control what other people do. Especially if one of them is a vampire.

Well you could but it wouldn’t be right.

He has a point.

Hey Belle where have you been during all this fuckery?

Hiding. It’s not safe in your head anymore.

Good point. I would like to hide too.

Well you can’t. so what are you going to do? Let this happen and hurt Jasper, or stop it and hurt everyone?

Have I told you lately you suck?

No why?

Cause right now you really suck.

You don’t mean that.

Oh but I do. You really suck. What you just said is that I either have to hurt the man that I love or hurt everyone else.

Yeppers that’s it in a nut shell.

YOU SUCK!

Love you too.

So Bella what’s it going to be? Hurt Jasper or Hurt everyone else?

Simon you suck too.
