OK this is my story Sweet Home Alabama in Jaspers perspective. Yes if you haven't already came to the conclusion, I did get the idea for the title from the werewolf book 'Blood and Chocolate'! My reasoning is, who can resent chocolate? Its one of the things you love but its bad for you, so that's my reasoning! I am not making this go along with Breaking Dawn. And no Alice and Jasper are not together!
I sat on the couch in my new room looking at the ceiling, we had moved again. Bella was now able to be around humans, which apart of me loved but another part hated. It took longer for me to get used to human blood but Bella was already used to it after only three years. However I liked having her as a vampire even if she was stronger than I was, because right after Alice for me was Bella and Esme, I couldn't choose just one. Bella and I had become like Alice and Edward, they were the freaks we were the young ones. It was hard now, to believe that when Edward first told us about his relationship with her, I hated her.
I looked out the small opening I had where my dark curtains hadn't gone down all the way. It wasn't very sunny outside just a few sun spots every now and then, but it wasn't really the cloud cover we moved here for. The tree cover was the big hitter, plus the population was only like 400 something so if Bella had a mishap it wouldn't be a seriously big problem. The most curious thing was the fact that we were in Alabama, I had been here before and its usually hot and sunny, but Elkmont seemed to be the exception.
As I turned my thinking away from the town, I focused on my family. As always I focused on Alice first, there was nothing romantic with our relationship but she was the most important thing to me. Excitement and happiness were radiating off her, she was most likely fixing her room or something. Then I found Bella, she was embarrassed by something Edward was doing, and Edward in return was getting great amusement from it. Rosalie was being annoyed but apart of her was enjoying it, I didn't have to think, even for a second about why she felt that way. Emmett was always the source of those feelings, among others that I am not going into at this time, or preferably ever. Esme was simply content and happy, she was working in her garden as she had been all morning. Carlisle had been called in at around five o'clock this morning so he wasn't here. Then I felt the emotions of some one else… someone I didn't know. I sat up and tried to smell any humans near by, but none of them were close enough. These emotions were of stress and anxiety, this person was dreading something.
"Jasper we need to get to school." I heard Alice said outside my door. I could hear Emmett and Bella talking down stairs, Edward was starting the Volvo, and Rosalie was starting her BMW. I then heard Alice in the kitchen with Esme. I shook off the extra set of motions which seemed to be set, it was like I couldn't stop being in tune with this persons emotions. I stood up and in a second I was down stairs and in front of Esme. She gave me a hug and kissed my cheek.
"Be careful." I nodded and held in my displeasure for that comment, if it had been any one else to say that I would have voiced my opinion but Esme was only concerned. I truly did hate being told that, I knew I wasn't very strong, and that just kept reminding me of it. Once I arrived in the garage Rosalie and Emmett were getting into her BMW and Edward and Alice were in the Volvo, Alice and I rode with Bella and Edward to school most of the time.
"My first time going back to high school. How fun!" Bella said from behind me.
I laughed as she walked in front of me and opened the passenger side door of the Volvo. "Yeah, well its boring, after a while." to me that was an understatement, I hated it. I already knew what I needed to and it was a tough place to be, with all the humans around, we always went hunting the day before starting a new school. I slid into the back seat next to Alice as Edward laughed.
"After a while?" he asked. "Try after day!" I laughed a bit.
"I think its kinda fun!" Alice's perky voice said. Edward rolled his eyes and sped out of the garage. They were having a conversation about something but I was quiet, as I preferred to be. All along the sides of the road was forest, we drove to a stop sign and I continued to look into a fairly clear spot with a road leading to a house a little bit into the distance. The emotions of this new person were heavier then ever, this person was happy but sour over something. I looked closely at the house and saw someone in a black Chevy truck and another person.
The one in the truck I could tell was a male and the other I could see perfectly, she was a girl, not much if at all taller than Alice, her face was a bit round but she wasn't big, her body looked perfect. She was laughing and trying to pout her full lips, her skin was like porcelain, and just as breakable. Her hair was raven black and it was up in a weird style that Alice called Scene, I'd seen some pictures of people with that hair style and it didn't work, but it suited this girl to a T. Her eyes were stunning, they were Hazel, mostly green and gold, but I could see flecks of blue in them. I felt Edward take off and watched the girl as long as I could. I hadn't realized we had pulled up to the school, I was still thinking about the girl. Humans looks never seemed appealing to me, well no one did really, but this girl was something else. I knew Edward was going to talk to me about it sometime, but I hoped not in front of Alice or Bella. The school was small, it had the same brick layout that I had seen so many other times before. This school was different than others I had been to because it held all grades, so there would be little kids in the same school.
I saw Bella and Alice walk over to Rosalie and Emmett. "So do you know her?" I rolled my eyes.
"No do you?" I wasn't really in the mood to face the inevitable. I grabbed my bag and started walking to the office. We had gotten here late for registration so we needed to get our schedules.
"I'm not the one who was thinking about her like you were." He pointed out. We entered the building and walked past a classroom full of kindergarteners.
"Edward, don't bug me with this!"
"Bug you with what?" I heard Emmett ask as the other joined us. I looked at Edward and he smirked.
"Oh just some of Jasper's thoughts." I was ready to kill him.
"Oh about what?" Rosalie asked looking at me smiling. I opened the doors to the office ignoring Rosalie.
"Oh just some girl." Edward said. I heard Alice giggle and Rosalie and Bella's quiet laughter.
I was about to telling them something when a tall woman who strongly resembled a horse walked over to us. "Cullen's and Hale's I'm guessing?" Her southern accent was very thick just as everyone else's in this town. I nodded as she went through a cabinet and took out six pieces of paper. "Alice Cullen." Alice took the paper. "Edward Cullen," Edward grabbed his. "Emmett Cullen." Emmett took his. "Isabella Hale" Bella nodded and took hers. "Jasper Hale." I grabbed the paper and walked out of the office. As Rosalie took hers they followed me out of the office.
"So Jasper was finally thinking of girl!" I glared at Emmett who was still smiling.
"I'm going to class." I said as I walked off. Then I realized I didn't know the direction of my first class, I looked down at my schedule, room 23, Ms. Hayter, Biology. I looked at the room numbers, 23, I guess I just got lucky.
Classes were boring and full of people, who were ether, intimidated, staring in awe, curious and a number of other emotions. Lunch was the same as always until Edward came up to the table. "Her name is Joanna McCarty." I looked at him for a second trying to figure out what he was talking about. "The girl from earlier." I rolled my eyes, I didn't want her know her name. "Yes you did." I kicked the leg of his chair.
"McCarty?" Emmett said thinking. "Hey we might be related! If we were it would explain why Jasper thinks she is hot."
"I do not!" I said "Besides how would explain it?" He smiled. "Because any one related to me is good looking." Rosalie reached out and smacked him lightly on the back of the head.
"So Alice, care to tell us about Dominic?" Edward asked looking at her. She looked up smiling.
"He is really nice, and looks really good!" I looked at her, there must have been something else to this boy. "La Tuna Cante" ((If that's not what they called it tell me!)) We all looked at her. She had resisted it, and we didn't even know. Alice was always able to resist things, better than most of us, her resistance I would almost compare to Carlisle's. "He is Joanna's twin brother, and he gets a lot of crap like she does."
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"They dress different and act different so they are picked on a lot." I could believe what Edward had just said, she was the same girl as earlier, how could anyone find anything wrong with her. As the bell rang I looked at my schedule and found out that the art teacher wouldn't be here until next week so I was put in the choir room until Mrs. Jenkins arrived.
All of my afternoon classes were as boring as the others well almost. The only class, which I expected to be boring but wasn't was History, with Mr. Woods. This guy simply radiated fun and excitement, he played little game just to see how much people remembered facts about what ever event he asked them about, I was asked to give a bit of information on the Civil War. I figured I would have been the best but he compared me to a junior girl named Joanna, at the mention of her name people started laughing, I knew it was the same one Edward had said people pick on, as well as the beautiful girl I had seen earlier. When the final bell rang I walked out of class before anyone else, I found my siblings, minus Alice, waiting for me. We had to go back to the office, and hand in our schedules. They told me Alice was going to be in Mr. Woods class for a bit so she had gave Edward her schedule so he could turn it in.
Once we arrived in the office I mentally groaned, the tiny office was full of parents and teachers, as well as a few screaming kids. The people I could deal with, I could even deal with the cramped space, the thing that got to me was the emotions. It seemed everyone wanted to get out of there, all were so anxious to get home, which caused me to want to go home. As I waited in line I remembered how the emotions of the stranger got stronger, it was like I was close to this person, but I wasn't close enough to tell who it was. It seemed the most peculiar thing about being here was the smell, human food smelled terrible, and tasted just as bad or worse, but the smell of chocolate kept filling my nostrils. It wasn't like normal chocolate, this sent was mouth watering, a very strange thing for human food. It seemed like we were the last people that got attended on, well frankly because we were. By the time we were talked to the parking lot was practically empty, and the halls were.
"Jasper why are you thinking of chocolate?" Edward asked were only I could hear him. I simply shrugged and looked around for Alice. As we approached a hallway I could hear Alice's voice mixed in with two others, one was a male who was getting angry, the other person with her was the older of the emotions I felt all day. I didn't have long to think on that though, the send of chocolate was overpowering now, I could almost taste it, it burnt my throat, I wanted what ever was making that smell. I saw Edward look at me shocked and I tried to think of other things but it wasn't working, I tried shaking my head to get the sent away but right then the girl from earlier, Joanna, fell in front of us and my throat burned like fire. It was Joanna that was making that sent or her blood, should I say. She looked so scared as she looked into my wild eyes, and instead of being ashamed as I usually was, it excited me, it made me want to drink from her even more. I felt Edward and Emmett pull me back, 'No!' I yelled in my mind, ' I had been good for a long time, why could I not enjoy the taste once more? How could they try to keep her away from me! Not only did she smell better than anything in the world, she looked appealing to, I wouldn't let the pretty girl suffer!' ((A.N Okay that was kind creepy to write!)) I felt Rosalie and Bella pulling on my shirt as well, then I was angry with Alice for the first time, she pulled Joanna away. Alice was gone for only a minute before she came back.
"Jasper, stop it!" she hissed I still fought against them.
"Your stronger than this!" Edward said. "All your hard work , think about it!" I didn't want to! I just wanted her blood! Alice was now holding me back as well, once they pushed me outside and into the forest, I was thinking straight. If I wasn't angry at my self before I was now, I could feel Joanna's emotions once again. She was scared out of her mind, and I had done that to her, I was the reason she was still afraid.
"You wouldn't like to hear her thoughts then." Edward said as I grabbed fist fulls of my hair and screamed.
"How stupid am I?" I looked at the ones who were with me, Edward, Bella and Alice.
"Your not stupid Jasper!" Bella said trying to comfort me. " You didn't kill her, you resisted to some point!"
I let out a harsh laugh "Only because I was being held back!" I saw Carlisle and Esme walking towards us with Rosalie and Emmett. Esme was at my side in an instant, she had me in a bone crushing hug.
"Jasper, you did better than we expected!" I saw Carlisle talking to Edward. "She is still alive and she is unharmed, Jasper don't beat yourself up for this." I knew she had heard me scream.
"Do you think we need to leave?" Carlisle asked me. He was leaving this dissension up to me? I looked at the ground, I didn't know if we should or not, I didn't want to leave. Not because I would have another chance at Joanna but because I needed to make her unafraid, and if I could handle it then we would leave. As I told Carlisle my answer we started on our way back home, Esme, Alice and Bella were around me as we ran home. Once we arrived home I ran up to my room and laid on my couch and thought about Joanna, why did it matter to me if she was afraid? She should be afraid of me, she should run for the hills at the sound of my name! But I didn't want that.
