My Cowboy ~ Jasper Hale

No Trolls here

One year ago

Victoria along with Alex and Jason stand in the rain stalking local boy Riley, as he exits a bar walking through the alley ways. The three vampires start to toy with Riley, leading him away from other humans in the area.

"Who's there" Riley calls out looking around frantically as he tries to catch his breath. He's then thrown towards the docks.

"What do you want? Why are you-" he yells as a redhead comes inhumanly fast at him, holding his hand up he realises that she had bit him.

"Lets go boys, we got plans to make" she announces walking away. One word can describe how Riley was feeling.

Pain.

Elody POV

As Jasper and I sit at our spot at the cliffside he lays his head in my lap, running one of my hands through his fair, the other hold up my English book as I read out my poem.

Before I became strong, I knew what it was like

To be weak,

How difficult it is to love yourself,

To find the wholeness that you seek.

Before I knew the light,

I have had my fair share of darkness, too,

Where my world fell into a hopelessness

And I didn't know how to get through.

For I have known the tears it takes,

The courage to stand up again,

When you are broken down and bruised

And you know nothing but the pain.

You forget to appreciate love,

If you haven't seen the hate,

Till you forget the meaning of smile and laughter,

And your heart is left abate.

I have known the strength and courage

It requires to get it right,

To face the things that hold you down

And hold your head up and fight.

Before I was who I am now,

I was someone I didn't want to be.

I was lost, battered, and defeated,

Before I knew how to be me!

Looking down at Jasper he watches me with a smile on his face.

"What do you think Jas, it's for my end of year English paper" I ask him.

Before he says anything he brings his hands around my neck and pulls me down connecting our lips, I let out a gasp as I always do. Being with Jasper is like a dream, I never really understand why he's with me but I'm alway hopeful that he will stay. Moving my body to lean over his, he runs his hands up my side making me pull away to giggle.

"That tickles cowboy and that wasn't an answer." I laugh as I hold his face in my hands.

"It was beautiful darling,  just like you" he whispers, I pull him into another kiss, forgetting all about my English paper.

As things start to get heated I pull back to smile at him as I was sitting on his lap with my jumper on the floor next to us.

"I have to be back by 4" I whisper looking into his eyes. Since me almost dying and Bellas little trip to Italy we had been grounded, everyday we had to be home by 4 or we would have more rules.
