Chapter 37: Bella’s Letter

(JPOV)

It wasn’t long after I returned to Peter’s and settled in; that I sat down to read the letter that Bella had left for me with Carlisle. I should of known with Bella’s abilities that she would have some foresight into these happenings before hand. Which in a way pisses me off more cause she could have warned me about Alice, but I understand why she didn’t. I always hated it when Alice meddled in others business and futures with her visions. Oh well, let’s see what Bella left for me in this letter. I opened it slowly to see Bella’s feminine script sprawling across the pages.

Jasper,

I know why you ran. I just don’t understand why you didn’t run to me. We have always been able to tell each other anything. I know your angry and I understand completely, your stay with Peter and Charlotte should help. I can’t wait to meet them. Tell them I said hello. I went with Simon to Italy to deal with some stuff, I’m sorry I left without saying goodbye. I guess we’re even now huh. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. Not sure I believe that but hey who knows until we try. Just know I will miss you. I will call when I get the chance, please take care of yourself while I’m gone. See you soon.

Yours truly,

Bella

I reread the letter twice. So she knew I ran. That’s why she left with Simon to give me space and time. We did always tell each other everything, I see I hurt her by not telling her anything. Angry is beyond an understatement. I can’t believe she didn’t at least call and say goodbye. But again she is right, I didn’t give her that courtesy either. I guess we are even. Distance makes the heart grow fonder my ass, my heart hurts not having Bella around. It aches in ways I never knew before. Oh how I miss her. She said she would call. She has been gone two days already, what could be taking so long. What kind of business did Simon have with the Vulturi. She said she was Mine! I think my dead heart just skipped a beat. Oh Bella why did you have to go?

“Because your pussy ass ran off to the Canadian wilderness, and now your hiding out with us.” Peter chided.

How the hell does he do that? I would swear he could read minds.

“Nope. Just know shit”

“Whatever Ass. Bella said to say Hello to you and Charlotte.”

“Smart girl you got there Major. Don’t let her get away. Oh wait she already did, she’s in Italy with another man.”

“Peter you ass, you don’t know what your talking about. I trust Simon with not only Bella’s life but my own. So shut it.”

“Wow this Simon must be one bad ass vamp if you trust him with your life.”

“You have no idea.”

“Will I get to meet this Simon too?”

“Most definitely. Him and Bella are kind of a package deal. Along with her brother Emmett.”

“Whoa wait two humans?”

“I thought you knew everything?”

“Don’t fuck with me Major. Spill what am I missing, you know I don’t get everything.”

“Okay well Bella and Emmett are pretty much orphans. Their mom died before they moved to Forks. Their dad died one year later on the anniversary of her death. Fucked up, yeah I know. So we all became close. Emmett got the hots for Rosalie but I told you this already, then Bella and Edward hit it off. They are more like family to us. Now before you ask Simon and Bella met in Russia when she was kidnapped by that Riley fellow I told you about. They have been inseparable ever since. But there is way more to that story then I can tell you because it’s not my story to be telling. If you want to know everything you are going to have to warm up to Bella and make a good impression so she will tell you her whole story. It is actually a good one.”

“So your saying a family of vamps adopted two lone orphan humans, a twisted love story ensues and the girl gets taken hostage by a rouge vamp, saved by another who by the way no one knows anything about. The girl then turns out to be your soul mate, you catch your soon to be ex-wife cheating on you, even though you were breaking up with her. You got pissed off, ran away and your mate went on an extended vacation with this mystery vamp and your all okay with this?”

“Why yes Peter, I’m okay with all this! No you dumb ass I’m not okay with this. The woman of my dreams and soul mate is in Italy visiting the Vulturi with her friend and my soon to be ex-wife is shacking up with her human friend.”

“Just asking you don’t have to get all bent out of shape Major. So your divorcing the pixie bitch then?”

“Nope I thought I would just let her continue to be married to me while she is shacked up with the human. Yes Peter the papers where sent out before I left home. Carlisle already had everything drawn up all I had to do was sign on the dotted line.”

“Good. I never liked her anyway. Now on to more important things, Bella said Hello to me and Char?”

“Yes it’s right here in this letter she wrote to me and left with Carlisle before she left.”

“How did she know you would be with us?”

“Bella is really special. You’ll see when you meet her. I will ask her to play for you on the piano, it’s like nothing else on earth. She makes Edward’s playing seem like child’s play.”

“Wow she that good huh.”

“Yep she is special.”

“Jasper?”

“Yeah Pete”

“Your phone is going to ring in about 5 seconds. 4…3…2…1”

Ring…Ring…Ring…

“Bella”

“I’ll let you take that lover boy and tell Sweet lips I said hello.”

“Go to hell Peter”

I reached over for my phone as Peter left the room.

“Bella?”

“Jasper?”

“Oh Bella I’m so sorry I took off with out saying good bye.”

“Jasper It’s okay. I understand why you did. Simon explained a few things to me about why you took off. The second he mentioned the Major I understood why you didn’t come to me. How are you feeling now?”

“Like shit. My ex-wife cheated on me with a human. My brother is a mopey dick. My other siblings screw all the time so the lust at the house was sky high. Peter is being a know it all prick, and Charlotte is overly worried about me.”

“I see.”

“Not to mention I’m missing my best friend.”

“Oh, and who would that be?”

“You. You silly girl. I know I was wrong in not saying good bye and I’m sorry. Yes we are even now so let’s not do that again. Peter said to say hello.”

“Hi Peter”

Peter chuckles from somewhere in the house.

“So are you staying with them until I get home?”

“Yes. Just for the sake of my sanity, when could I expect you home, we have a lot to talk about you know.”

“I know Jazz and I’m sorry I took off on you too. I was just so angry with you for not talking to me. I thought there were no secrets between us?”

“There isn’t sweet heart and you know I would have come right to you if I wasn’t so angry.”

“Jazz. Did you just call me sweet heart?”

“huh did I?”

“Yes Jazz you did.”

“Oh. Oh well it fits.”

*chuckling* “It’s okay Jazz you can call me anything you want to.”

“So…where is Simon? And what is this Mission in Italy all about?”

“Well Simon is out doing what ever it is that Simon does when he is out, and as for the Mission, let’s just say Simon isn’t happy with the way the Vulturi is handling things since he was last awake. Not to mention the thoughts that were circling during the meeting we had..”

“What meeting? You mean you were already in to see them?”

“Yes Jazz earlier today. We met them at dusk. Aro isn’t happy with me not wanting to join the guard, nor is he happy that he can’t read my thoughts anymore then Edward could. He doesn’t know I know you guys though. Simon keep most of his memories from Aro using his mental blocky thing.”

“Well that’s good to know that they aren’t going to be knocking on the door anytime soon. As for you being able to block Aro, well that’s no surprise to me. I always knew you were a shield of some type.”

“You did?”

“Yes Bella. Remember when you were angry and Simon kept trying to read your mind to see what was wrong and he couldn’t. Well that was you using your shield to block him. So of course Aro won’t hear your thoughts.”

“Oh Jazz I knew I could count on you to help me figure this out. I was so baffled. Even Simon wasn’t sure. He said even he doesn’t have the shielding ability.”

“Wait what?”

“Simon isn’t a shield. He has a mental block but Aro could read his thoughts just fine.”

“Wow I was right you are special.”

“Who did you tell I was special?”

“Peter. You even baffled him with your premonitions. He couldn’t believe that you knew I would end up being here with him. I think he’s jealous cause your better at this knowing stuff then he is.”

Peter growls from somewhere in the house.

“I heard that Peter!”

“Damn Major that girl has good hearing”

“Yep. So you better watch yourself Peter.”

“Jazz why does he keep calling you Major? I thought that was only used when you were really angry. Your not still angry now are you?”

“No Bella honey, I ain’t mad any more. Peter just calls me that from our time in the war together. He was my Lieutenant or second in command. Don’t pay him no mind what so ever Darlin’”

“Whoa Jazz talk about southern. Have you always had the accent or is it a new thing?”

“No Darlin’. I guess it is just starting to show more now that I am more relaxed up here with Peter and Char. They know how to keep their emotions in check round me.”

“Well I like it. It’s rather sexy.”

“Really now.”

“Major. Don’t you go startin none of that with us still in the house. You know how you project while all horned up. I don’t think this house could take me and Char.”

*Laughing* “Fine Peter I will try and keep it down to a minor lustful frenzy just for you. Is that okay?”

“Sure Major.”

“Now Bella where were we?”

“Your sexy southern accent.”

“Ah yes. How bout we see what I can do for you while on the phone in another country while also not upsettin poor Peter’s libido.”

“I would love to spend all night on the phone with you talking dirty and all Jazz but I still need to sleep we have several days of sight seeing before Simon is going to see the Vulturi again and I want to be well rested so I remember everything I see. I want to be able to tell you all about my trip to Italy.”

“I can’t wait to hear all about your trip Darlin’. I will let you get your rest then. Please feel free to call me when ever you want to talk. I miss you Bella”

“I miss you too Jazz. Good night”

“Sweet Dreams”

She hung up the phone after that and I listened to the dead air for a moment before hangin my own phone up. I guess I never realized that my accent was starting to become more prominent since being around Peter. I knew that man was no good for me. Although Bella did say it was sexy so it can’t be all that bad of thing could it?

“Yes Major it could. Your little minx must really be something special if the Vultures want her.”

“Now Peter is that any way to talk bout our government?”

“Yes and you know it’s true.”

*Chuckling* ” Yeah Peter I guess your right.”

“I’m always right.”

“Don’t get a fat head now. You know how pissed Char gets when you go all magic eight ball and shit.”

“Peter David Whitlock. What have you been told about that fortune telling bull shit. I can’t stand that Pixie bitch doin it and I won’t stand for it in my house. Now Jasper you get your ass out there and hunt, you haven’t gone since Peter found you. Now get.”

“Yes Ma’am” we said in unison.

We both know better then to piss Char off. She is all piss and vinegar to start with. I can’t wait to see how her and Bella get along. Bella is a Hell cat if I ever seen one. Those two together ought to be a force to be reckon with. Oh boy are Peter and I in a world of trouble.

“You said it brother”
