&& new beginnings are what help the world go round...

Bella Havstad sat in the quiet little diner boothe at exactly 7:30 AM on that Friday morning. Her muss of blonde curls was pulled back that morning into a light pony-tail. She wore a pair of jeans, a light green t-shirt, and a pair of black Converse tennis shoes. Before her was a cup of coffee, a sketch book, and a pencil. Her hand scratched rapidly across the surface of her paper. Bell was at work once more.

She scarcely looked up from her notepad in distraction. Her mind was busy elsewhere. She was too busy caught up in her flurry of thinking. What was she going to do? She didnh't have anyone anymore. Lynaya was so sick that she hardly ever left the house anymore. Dean was gone. She didn't have many friends. Worse yet, her father was trying to contact her again. What was Bella supposed to do? She felt as thoguh her life was getting caught in a rut. Who would save her now?

&& could you bottle it up??

It was one of those days that made Jasper crazy to be in his house. His brother was upstairs painting, and his mom was out in the garden. Jasper was the kind of person who hated just sitting around, doing nothing. He did have options. He could call up one of his 'friends' and shoot some hoops. Or, he could get a quickie from one of the cheerleaders. The brunette shrugged off those ideas, though, and decided that he was hungry. Only one place to go to tame that.

Jasper made the short walk over to True Blue, his favorite restaurant. Well, there wasn't much a selection, but they still had good food. He entered the shop and immediately a blonde head. With a smile, Jasper walked over to the table and sat himself down. "Fancy meeting you here, babe."

Bells looked up from her sketchbook to spy an all too familiar face. Jasper Rhodes ahd been one of her oldest friends. He always seemed to be there, he always seemed to know what was going on with Bell. She was more than happy to see him there.

"Well, if it isn't Jasper Rhodes! Don't you have some sport practice to be hitting? I mean, really, hell with Summer, you're the busiest guy I know." She teased. She knew that Jasper was one of the biggest jocks around. See, there was always this sort of, chemical connection between Jas and Bells. God only knew what it was or what could explain it. She only knew that she'd always had a tiny crush on him. Now that Dean was definitely over, Bells felt a few oppertunities on the rise. She did feel bad since she was still in love with Dean. She ahd to try and let it go though; that was what his happiness depended on.

"Coffee?" She asked pushing her cup towards him. It was strange, knowing someone since infancy. Food was shared, thoughts were shared. If anyone knew Bells, it was Jasper. She could still remember their youth, shoving the kindergarten's mucky mac and cheese in his face because it was funny.
