The Differences Between Us Make Us Special

Chapter 24: Thank you to Isabella.

Jasper had felt sorry for hanging Alec out to dry, but there was no way that he was gonna willing get in the way of Alice’s wrath. Jasper entered his study and made for his desk. He began to think of what to tell Isabella about the camping trip with Emmett and Alec. Taking out a sheet of paper he started to write.

Dearest Isabella,

I have taken your advice and gotten to know Alec some. He is very insightful for a newcomer. He has told me many things that I didn’t know about myself. It seems that Alec, Emmett and I have plenty in common. Emmett and I sorta kidnapped poor Alec and took him on his first of many male bonding trips. Alice was angry. I can still feel her anger even now as I sit two floors above them. But she will be fine, and she will forgive him. However I don’t think Emmett and I will fare quite as well. I look forward to your letter and I know you have yet to reply to my last one but I hope that all is well. Tell Edward I say hello. Take care and hope to hear from you soon.

Your friend,

Jasper W. Whitlock

p.s. Alec says thank you and to pray for him…Shopping with Alice!

Jasper sealed his letter in an envelope and placed a stamp on it. He took off to the mailbox only to be intercepted by Esmé coming in from getting the mail.

“Oh Jasper there is one here for you from Isabella.”

“Thanks Es-mom.”

“Es-what?”

“Nothing.”

Jasper grabbed his letter and took off toward the mail to post his newest letter. After dropping it off in the box he decided to go for a run. Finding a place in solitude to read his newest letter from Isabella. Placing the letter into his pants he thought a hunt was in order first. Taking down a few deer and a large fox he was finally full and took off to find his place to read in peace.

It didn’t take him long to find the perfect place. It was a place he came to often to be alone. The small fern grove was covered in greens of all shades. Moss made the forest floor soft, and the trees let just enough light filter through to give everything a yellow-greenish glow. Small flowers poked up erratically throughout the undergrowth in shades of corals and purples. It wasn’t a waterfall or peaceful meadow but it was beautiful in its simplicity. It reminded him of Isabella, or at least his idea of her. Settling himself down on the moss covered ground he leaned against a fallen log and took out his newest letter from her.

Dearest Jasper,

I too am glad that you agreed to write to me. I’m happy I can bring even a small amount of happiness into someone else’s life. Thank you for your kind words. And I agree that something’s in life make some horror movies seem more like comedies.  I was surprised to find you have lived so long. I know that Carlisle said you were the oldest of his children but your experience and life span is almost as long as his. Okay not really but he is really old isn’t he…shh don’t tell him I said that.

Back on topic. So the civil war huh. I love that period in American history. Everything was not so black and white. No pun intended of course. Everyone had different views but everyone thought they were right. I understand that your family probably had slaves seeing as how you were from Texas. But I don’t see you being a abusive owner. I think you would have treated them like family. Am I right?

As for your real family, I’m sorry to hear that you don’t remember them clearly. I hope I have not caused you any sorrow in dredging up such memories. Now Peter he sounds interesting. Is there any chance that I may be able to one day meet the man who saved you from your own personal horrors? And if you believe that Charlotte and I would get along wonderfully, then we probably would. I hope they are well and that you do hear from them soon.

I will be sure to remember that Emmett cheats playing monopoly, wouldn’t wanna get caught off guard. I wish I had more to talk about but I have less time at nights now with helping out here and there. But I have little time to even think, so for now I must say farewell and I hope to hear from you soon.

Yours truly,

Isabella.

Jasper reread that closing three times before placing the letter back into his pocket. That was the first time she had closed her letter with anything other than ‘your friend’. Jasper didn’t wanna look into it to far but couldn’t help the giddy feeling he was getting in the pit of his stomach. Jasper jumped up from his spot and started to run home. He was about a mile out when his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID he gave a chuckle and answered.

“Peter you fucker you where have you been and how is my Char?”

“You’re Char?”

“You heard me.”

“Well we have been all over the place and MY Char is well.”

“G-wizz can’t you just once play along you’re so moody. I’m the empath remember, aren’t I supposed to be the emotionally unstable one?” Jasper joked.

“Well…well what has gotten into you? You seem far to happy for an emo? What you on? Is it a new drug that vamps can use? Did Carlisle come up with a way to get drunk? Did you get laid? Is it a girl?”

“Whoa Peter calm yourself. Nothing has gotten into me. Yes I’m happy, I’m not on anything, no drugs, still can’t get drunk, nope still bluer then a smurf, and it just may be a girl. Did I answer them all?”

“Wait you said it may be a girl?”

“Yes”

“Do we know her?”

“No”

“How old is she?”

“Uhh..”

“Major what ain’t you tellin me?”

“A lot but I can’t right now. I will ask her and if she gives the okay I can give you more info…she wants to meet you and Charlotte.”

“Well now I’m liken this girl already.”

“We will see about that Peter. Like I said there is a lot I can’t tell you.”

“That’s fine we are comin to visit soon anyway and I would love to meet the woman who can get you all giggly like a freshman girl drooling over the senior high school quarter back after he asked if she could pass the ketchup in the cafeteria at lunch.”

“Okay then well I will see you when you come then?” Jasper asked as a question.

“You can bet on it.”

The call ended and Jasper made his way back to the house. He went straight to his study to put Isabella’s newest letter with all the others. He was glad that Peter seemed to approve of his relationship with Isabella even if he didn’t know how to define it just yet. And that not only did Isabella want to meet his family but his family wanted to meet her too. Now if only he himself could meet her.
