JPOV:
"Jazzz! Jaazzz!" Someone called softly in my ear while pushing me.
"Unghh." I muttered unintelligibly before rolling around and trying to go back to sleep. Well I was trying to until I felt my comforter being dragged off me; leaving me exposed to the freezing cold Forks 'summer' air. I shot up and glared to my right where the irritating voice was coming from. I found Emmett looking at me with a huge smile on his face.
"Em, do you know what time it is? Why the hell are you waking me up at…10:15 on the first day of vacation?" I paused in the middle of my sentence to check the time on my phone.
"I'm bored and I wanna do something. I refuse to be sitting at home like a lifeless person during summer vacation!" He exclaimed loudly, waving his arms around for emphasis.
"Well why didn't you wake Edward up?"
He just gave me an exasperated look before he started talking, "You think I didn't try? He's such a deep sleeper; he's even worse than you! I called his name like 90 times and nothing! Zilch! Nada!"
I couldn't help but laugh as Emmett's exasperated face and he took that as his cue to start plotting different ways to wake Edward up.
"We could dump cold water on him, or we could slap him! Or… or… or… we could jump on his bed, or we could push him off his bed, or…!" he kept going on and on clearly excited.
"Em, why don't we try calling his name first?" I suggested.
"Fine! Ruin my fun, why don't you?"
I rolled my eyes and walked over to Edward's room with Emmett trailing behind me.
"Edward. Edwarddd. Hey Eddie!" I called trying to get him to wake up.
Em interrupted, "Well we tried. Now what do you want to do?"
"Hmm." I said as we started brainstorming. Suddenly I had a brilliant idea and I whispered it in Emmett's ear just in case Edward was awake and he was just pretending to be asleep.
Emmett clearly liked my idea because he cracked up and said, "That's amazing! That'll definitely wake him up!"
I smirked, proud of my genius idea, and fiddled with Edward's iPod to find the right song before I set it in his iHome and blasted the volume.
Suddenly music started blaring and all I could hear was, "Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy. Got my glasses, I'm out the door. I'm gonna hit this city. Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack, cause when I leave for the night I ain't coming back."
The music was interrupted by Edward's high pitched scream.
"AHHH!" he screamed as he jumped and fell out of the bed. At this, Em started rolling on the ground laughing and I was shaking where I was standing in my silent laughter. Edward growled and stomped out of the room causing both of us to laugh even harder.
When Em finally picked himself up off the ground we started to go downstairs.
"Man that was priceless."
I chuckled.
Em agreed, "I know right? Guess who I am. AHHHH!" He yelled the last part in a high-pitched voice causing both of us to start laughing again.
As we walked into the kitchen I smiled as I noticed Edward's scowl grow deeper and Carlisle's face brighten as he started smiling.
"Well sons, do you want to tell us why you're both laughing so hard and why Edward looks ready to kill you?"
At Carlisle's words I turned to look at Edward, and he did in fact look furious. I chuckled quietly as I looked at Emmett and waited for him to relay the story.
"Edward… Ke$ha…bed… fell…funny…face." Emmett tried saying, but he kept laughing in the middle making it impossible to understand him. I shook my head at him in shame before turning to face Carlisle and Esme.
"Well you know how Edward's a deep sleeper. Em and I were bored so we decided to wake him up so we could do something."
"You could have called my name!" Edward interrupted, sounding annoyed.
I rolled my eyes and continued, "We tried that around 20 times but it didn't work so I blasted 'Tik Tok' by Ke$ha and Edward screamed and jumped and fell out of his bed. It was so funny; the look on his face was priceless!"
By the time I was done, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett and I were all laughing. I barely noticed Edward storm out of the room, Esme sighed but then got up and followed him out.
The three of us were still laughing when Esme finally came back in, followed by Edward. Esme said something to Carlisle and he tried to pull himself together so he could talk.
"Boys, that's enough. We have something to tell you." He started still laughing. "Your mother and I have decided to send you on a tour of Europe as a present for graduating college. Chief Swan's kids are joining you also." As soon as he said that I zoned out.
I could see that he was still talking but I was too busy trying to figure out where I had heard Chief Swan before. I racked my brain, but I came up with nothing. I would have to think about it later.
As I came back to the conversation at hand I heard Edward and Em yell, "Yess!" really loudly. Huh. I wonder what I missed.
"Well you boys should go eat lunch now and then you can go pack your stuff for the trip." Carlisle said.
The three of us nodded our heads in agreement before quietly getting something to eat. I fixed myself a simple sandwich and sat down to eat. We ate in silence and I'm pretty sure the other two were too busy thinking about the trip like I was to say anything.
After we were done, I thanked Carlisle & Esme before we all raced upstairs to pack our things. Apparently we were leaving on the 22nd which meant we had tomorrow to pack and then we left the day after. This should be fun.
I'm pretty sure Emmett was the most excited considering he kept doing the happy dance and I'm almost positive that any minute now the house was going to collapse. The three of us went to our rooms and got all of our clothes and met in the guest room where our suitcases were.
As we were packing Emmett asked, "Hey Jazz, we'll be back in time to start looking for jobs right?"
"Yea Em, we decided to start job hunting September 8th, remember?."
He looked confused, "Then why are we coming back so early?"
"The tour is over August 22nd."
"Bu-"he started, testing my patience.
"Emmett just shut the hell up and pack your stuff." I said exasperated.
In response he stuck his tongue out and went back to packing all of his stuff. After a while Edward said, "Hey do you guys know what countries we're going to so I know what to pack?"
Both of us shrugged not really caring and in response Edward rolled his eyes and went downstairs to ask Esme and Carlisle.
"Hmm, I wonder where we're going. All I know is that we're going to Europe." Em said suddenly.
"I know. Huh, hopefully we're going somewhere really cool."
As soon as I finished talking, I heard Edward calling for Em and I to come look at something. Both of us looked at each other confused but we went outside to see what Edward was so excited about.
When I saw the piece of paper all I could do was stare at it shocked, I distinctly heard Emmett screaming with joy and bounding down the stairs, most likely to hug Esme and Carlisle. Sure enough as soon as he went downstairs we heard screaming.
"Emmett McCarthy Cullen, hugging us to death is not the way to thank somebody for giving you a vacation!" Esme shrieked.
"Sorry mom, I forgot you and dad don't like those." Emmett said.
Edward mumbled, "They're not the only ones." And I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my lips. Soon enough, Emmett came back up the stairs and we looked through the schedule again.

We looked at each other and smiled. "This is a hell of a lot better than just sitting at home all summer long." Both of them nodded in agreement.
Emmett being Emmett said, "Hey, maybe we'll meet some pretty girls on the trip." Edward rolled his eyes and I shook my head.
"Oh please," I said. "If anybody gets a girl it will be me!"
"Not a chance, who would pass up this?" Edward asked pointing to himself. Yup, definitely conceited.
"No me!" Emmett said.
We kept going back and forth until I had a brilliant idea again. "How about we have a competition to see who can get the most girls' numbers by today night?"
Both of them looked at me clearly interested. Emmett asked, "Mall or club?"
We debated for a while before deciding we didn't really want to go to the mall. Besides, if we went to a bar we could celebrate going on vacation.
"Well who's the driver today?" Edward asked.
Em winked at me telling me to play along. In unison both of us said, "You."
He tried protesting but Emmett told him it was his turn and to shut up and stop whining like a 2 year old. Edward then tried pouting but it was a lost cause. There was only person who could get me to change my mind by pouting and he was definitely not her.
"Be ready in 10. It's already 7:30. Wow that went fast." I muttered. "Anyway, we'll leave in a little while so we can be there at 8. The competition ends at 12 and that's when we'll leave."
They both agreed so all of us left the guest room and went to our own bedrooms. I pulled on a pair of black jeans and a blue shirt that matched the color of my eyes. I tried to fix my hair, but it was a lost cause. Throughout the day I had been running my hands through my hair succeeding in creating a blonde mess on top of my head.
I went downstairs to wait for Emmett and Edward. Less than a minute later Em came running down the stairs. Now we just had to wait for Eddie. I swear he spent more time on his hair than most girls did. Finally 5 minutes later he walked down the stairs still trying to tame his wild bronze hair. We went to the kitchen and told Carlisle and Esme we were leaving.
"Be safe." Esme called. "Who's the designated driver today?"
"I am." Edward said.
"Alright, don't stay out too late."
"Kay." The three of us chorused.
Carlisle said, "Have fun boys. Bye."
It took me 10 minutes to get us there with my driving. Before we walked inside I tossed Edward my keys since he would be driving on the way back.
"There better not be as much as a scratch on my car Edward. If there is, so help me God…" I trailed off giving him a menacing glare. He actually looked kinda scared and he just nodded at me.
"Remember the competition." I told them as we walked inside.
As soon as I walked in I saw a pretty brunette at the other end of the bar. I walked towards her hoping she would help me win the competition. Right as I was walking up I saw her reach into her purse to get her money out. I put my hand on her arm to stop her before I pulled money out of my wallet.
"Now what kind of a man would I be if I let someone as pretty as you pay for your drink?" I asked rhetorically as I slipped the bartender 10 bucks.
She smirked at me before replying, "A normal one."
I leaned forward so my lips were almost grazing hers as I whispered, "Well it's a good thing I'm not normal."
As soon as I finished my sentence she was on top of me. Her lips were all over mine and she jammed her hands into my hair making it even messier than it already was. I pulled away slowly and smiled at her. I made up an excuse about how I had to leave, but she stopped me and handed me a piece a paper. I smiled at her and walked away before I read what was on it.
Nice! On the piece of paper was her name and number. I sat down at the opposite end of the bar and ordered a Jack & Coke while I waited to see someone interesting to talk to. The night went on and I flirted with a bunch of girls and I got almost all of their numbers.
By the end of the night I was exhausted and had drunk enough that I was still sober, but it would definitely cause me a headache tomorrow morning. Emmett on the other hand rarely got affected by alcohol but he looked tired too.
When I found him both of us went in search of Edward. "Come on Edward. It's 12, let's go."
He nodded and got up. The three of us walked back to the car in complete silence. As Edward got in the driver's seat Emmett ran to the front so he could ride shotgun. I rolled my eyes and got into the back.
I got in the car and I let my exhaustion overcome me. I was worn out from the events of the day and the sugar high from the alcohol had run out, effectively draining me of all my energy. My eyelids were drooping and I was fighting to try and keep them open. I had my head leaned back against the head rest and I was staring at the ceiling tiredly trying to will Edward to drive faster so I could get home to my comfy bed.
As soon as he pulled up I was out of the car, walking up to my room. As I walked I dragged my heavy feet behind me and tried to keep my eyes open so I wouldn't run into a wall.
"Night Jasper." "Good Night Jasper." I heard both of them call.
"Night guys." As soon as I got in my room I crashed onto my bed not bothering to change. The minute my head hit the pillow, I was asleep.
The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that my head hurt like hell.
"Uggh." I groaned. "My head is in immense pain. I am in serious need of an Advil."
Edward replied cheerfully, "No problem!" I glared at his cheerfulness causing him to laugh before he went downstairs. Wait, why was Edward in my room?
"Ugghhh." I groaned again, while clutching my head in pain. As if on cue, Edward walked in with my water and Advil. After I downed the pill I turned to look at Edward.
"Thanks Edward. By the way do you know who won our competition?"
He mumbled the answer while staring at the floor and by now I was pretty certain I had won so I decided to tease him.
"What was that, I didn't hear you?"
"You." He mumbled again, a little louder this time.
"Sorry, still can't hear you. What was that?"
"I said you!" He all but yelled giving me an annoyed look.
"That's what I thought. Not so cheerful anymore, now are we?"
He huffed. "Whatever, I'm gonna go take a shower. See you later." As he left he made sure to stomp on the ground as he walked, making my head pound. I refused to show him how much that hurt so I settled for glaring at the back of the idiot's head. When I was sure my head wasn't about to explode I got up and went to take a shower in my bathroom.
After I was done I got out and changed into more comfortable clothes. As I was leaving my room I noticed that Edward was still in the bathroom. What a girl. I went downstairs to get some breakfast, I was starving. However eating proved to be impossible when I got downstairs and saw Emmett hogging all of the food.
I tried to steal something from him but he was too strong. My stomach growled loudly in protest and since I evidently couldn't eat I settled for trying to glare Emmett to death. My one-sided glaring competition was interrupted when I heard Edward laughing. I turned back to look at Emmett and he seemed to be done eating. Hallelujah!
I quickly grabbed some food before Emmett changed his mind. I sighed in relief when I finally got some food into my system. My headache was about gone and I almost cheered in joy. When we were done we had nothing to do and I was already bored.
"Well, what do you want to do?"
Em thought for a while before saying, "I don't know. Why don't we go somewhere?"
"Kay, cool. Where?" Edward asked.
"Let's go to the beach!" Emmett yelled excitedly.
"Yea! I think they're having fireworks there today night for some unknown reason."
All of us got our swimming trunks and of course Emmett being the little kid he is brought all of his stuff to build a sand castle. We took my black Lamborghini Murciélago after I inspected it to make sure Edward hadn't damaged it.
Mine was probably the best car of the three considering I was a car fanatic. Edward had a silver Volvo S60R. Em had a Jeep Wrangler but he wasn't allowed to drive that locally so for Forks he had a black Lamborghini Reventon.
When we got there I surprisingly really wanted to build a sand castle and so did Emmett, however Edward really wanted to swim. I pretended I wanted to swim too just because I wanted to hear Em beg.
"Just help me for 10 minutes and then you can swim. I promise! Please? Please? Pretty Please?" Em pleaded.
Finally both of us gave in; after all, it's not every day you see a 21 year old begging you to help him build a sand castle. When we were done the castle looked pretty damn impressive.
"Come on. We're swimming now. Jazz and I helped you with your sand castle now you have to swim." Edward said.
"Fine." Em said. I smiled at Edward and then we all ran to the water to swim. After a few hours, naturally Emmett got hungry.
"Hey, let's go somewhere really good for lunch." Em suggested.
"Kay. I'm gonna call Esme or Carlisle and let them know." I heard both of them say okay in response. After I got off the phone we looked around for some place good to eat. There was a diner nearby that looked like it had good food so we decided to eat there. The waitress at the diner shamelessly flirted with all three of us at the same time and it was kinda sad to watch. I found myself wishing B was here to scare the waitress off. I watched as she came back to take our orders.
"I'll have a triple cheeseburger with a large coke and a large fries." Em ordered.
"I'll have a hamburger with coke and fries please."
Lastly Edward ordered, "I'll take a chicken burger with sprite." The waitress nodded and said she'd be right back with all of the food. As we waited for our food we started talking about the trip to Europe.
"I can't believe we're going to Europe. This is going to be so much fun!"
"I know! Mom and dad are the best." Emmett agreed.
"Hey, why don't we do something to thank them?"
"That's a really good idea." Edward replied. "What can we do though?"
"I have an idea. I think today evening we should plan a dinner for both of them. We should cook it ourselves." Em suggested.
That was actually a really good idea. "I'm the only one that can cook, so I'll make the food and how about both of you guys send them somewhere while we're preparing and then decorate the house?"
"Good, I think that will work. Now we have to decide what to cook and how to distract them. Jazz, what do you cook the best?" Edward asked.
"Hmm. Pasta, lasagna, baked ziti, pasta, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, garlic bread, salad, cake, gelato…" I trailed off.
"Mom loves Italian so why don't we make an Italian meal? Can you make pasta, salad, garlic bread and gelato?" Em suggested.
"Sure. Not a problem."
"I think I know how we can distract them." Em said. "Mom and dad's favorite band is performing in Port A today. We can buy them the tickets and tell them to go. The show starts at 3 and ends at 5, so they'd have to leave at 1:50 and they'd be home at 6ish. That should be enough time for you to cook everything right Jazz?"
"Yup, I think this will work."
"Me too." Edward agreed. "It's 12:30 now, let's go get the tickets after we eat and then tell them to go. Oh and we have to remember to tell them not to eat dinner on the way because we want to eat with them before we leave tomorrow.
"Perfect."
"Sounds like a plan."
After we ate and bought the tickets we went home to tell Carlisle an Esme.
"Mom? Dad?" Em called as we walked inside.
"Yes Emmett." Esme replied.
"Where are you?"
"Kitchen."
"Kay." We called back as we made our way to the kitchen.
Once we were in Esme's line of view she started talking, "What is it?"
"We have something we want to give you as a thank you for sending us to Europe. We got you two tickets to your favorite band." Em said.
"The show is in Port Angeles and it starts at 3 and ends at 5 so you might want to hurry."
Edward finished with, "Have fun at the show and could you come home for dinner so we'll be able to have dinner with you before we leave tomorrow?"
By the time we were done Esme looked like she was going to cry. "Oh boys, this is too much. You know we don't expect anything in return."
"We know, but we wanted to thank you."
She called, "Carlisle! Come here, you won't believe this…" then she told Carlisle what she knew of our plans.
"Thank you. This means a lot to us, and we'll definitely be home for dinner." Carlisle said. "Come on Esme, let's go get ready."
They left the house around 1:45 and as soon as the car was out of sight the house erupted into a flurry of activity.
I immediately went into the kitchen and started cooking. I knew this would take the longest and I wanted to make sure it was done so Esme and Carlisle would be surprised when they got home. Emmett and Edward came into the kitchen repeatedly asking if I needed help and I kicked them both out. Em tried to steal some food but I made him leave before he ate all the food. Em and Edward left after a little while to buy decorations for the house. I heard Edward playing piano as Emmett was decorating and I figured he was recording his playing so we could listen during dinner.
By the time we were done with everything it was already 5:30 and they were due home any minute now. The three of us went upstairs to change into better clothes. I sped downstairs once I was changed to go put some finishing touches on the food.
At 6:15 Esme and Carlisle returned and I noticed the exact moment Esme saw the decorations because of her audible gasp.
"This looks absolutely beautiful!" Esme exclaimed.
I heard Emmett and Edward chorus, "Thanks mom!" and I chuckled quietly from inside the kitchen.
I brought out the food and set it down on the table right as everyone was starting to sit down. Edward went to go play the CD he had made and it sounded really good. We finished dinner around 10:30 and we all went upstairs to our separate rooms. The plane left at 8:30 am tomorrow so we would have to be at the airport around 5:30. We would arrive in Belgium at 5:30 am the next day Belgium time. I couldn't wait till we left, I was going to miss both Carlisle and Esme but I really wanted to see Europe. I had a really good feeling about this trip; I couldn't describe it but I felt like it was going to change my life in a good way.
