Beta for this story is the most wonderfully patient:

Beautiful Banner moved to chapter 1 due to Google requirements

(It all started with a Tweet on 01/11/2014.) Bella's had enough of being a zombie and her handsy "friend" Jacob. She leaves town, and the memories, to head for sunnier, vampire-free climes. No destination, no plan, just a desire to go. Who'd have thought she'd run into our favorite Major in Louisiana?

New-kid-in-school Bella is on a delicate, yet highly dangerous, mission. A mission to break and seduce one of the members of the Cullen-Collective - those pretty, pale, (possibly extraterrestrial) rich kids at Forks High. Her target? The mysteriously silent, stone-faced, long-tall-and-lickable, Mr. Crankypants - AKA Jasper Hale. AU, language, adult situations. 1st Pl Best One Shot in the 2014 Non-Canon Awards!

"Don't you understand, he'll die if you dont't!" Iz just shrugged a light sholder at her, "I understand perfectly. What you fail to understand is how little I care. What happens to him is in no way my problem."

You're in for one hell of a ride!  Bella and Jasper's worlds collide as they find solace and comfort in one another as friends.  However, as Bella's dreams begin to unfold and she begins gaining certain abilities...it seems that maybe everything that's happened to lead them here, was all part of an intricate plan.  Can road trips, fun times in Vegas, and a crazy Peter help them find their Heaven?

Suddenly I realized the family had it wrong. I had it wrong. Jasper was not attacking me and Edward was not protecting me. AU OOC Rated NC-17 to be safe
