Unpredictable but Wonderful
Chapter one:
****************************Jasper Pov***************************************
I clutched the straps of my backpack so tightly my knuckles turned white. My older brother Peter smiled over at me.
"Nervous?" he eyed me up and down quickly before returning his eyes to the road.
"Yeah a little, you?" Peter scoffed
"Na, I've been waiting for this day for years." Peter had studied medicine in college and when he heard of an opportunity to study under Dr. Carlisle Cullen he couldn't resist.
"Dr. Whitlock, it has a nice ring to it." Peter agreed and put the car in park in front of forks high school.
"Get going Jasper, you can't be late on your first day." I groaned as I slid from the high truck seat to the ground, I had woken up multiple times during the night. I had written it off as nerves but now it felt like I was catching a cold. That would be just great, a cold on my first day at a new school. I coughed into my arm when the cold air tickled my lunges and hurried towards the door, determined to push through whatever I was sick with. I reached my homeroom just as the bell rang, everyone stared at me not bothering to say anything. I took a seat in the back and slouched down as low as I could, the slight ache in my back hindering my hiding a bit. Homeroom passed quickly, no one said a word to me and I was too nervous to say anything to any of them. My first period was on the other side of the school so when the bell rang I was the first one out of my seat and half ran towards pod S. the icy air hurt my chest and half way there I had to stop and cough. In a effort to contain my germs I caught my cough in my arm. In the process I dropped all my books on the ground, my papers scattered and my map blew behind me back across the parking lot.
"You need this?" a melodic voice asked. I turned and was face to face with the most beautiful boy I had ever seen. He had piercing green eyes and strange bronze hair that seemed to shine, even in the dreary light of Forks. His hair was messy, like he spent too much time running his fingers through it. He was about my height and thin, but I could see the outline of muscles through his long sleeved shirt.
"Uh… yeah thanks" I mumbled blushing like a fool, this guy was amazingly hot and he was talking to me. my social skills flew out the window and It was all I could do to not stare at him. I was gay, I had known since my friend Andy in freshman year back at Texas. Andy knew and so did Peter but no one else, it wasn't something I wanted to advertise. The boy cleared his throat and stuck his hand out with a smile.
"I'm Edward Cullen, you must be new?" I nodded, partly in recognition.
"Yeah, I'm Jasper Whitlock. Are you Dr. Cullen's son?" he smiled
"Yup, and your Peters brother." It wasn't a question. In a town this small everyone here probally knew my name already. Before I could say anything Edward crouched and picked my books up, he straightened and handed them to me along with a pocket pack of tissues.
"I saw you coughing, you might need these more than I do." Fuck that was embarrassing, I felt my cheeks heat up as blood rushed to my face. "Don't be embarrassed." Edward said, reaching out and cupping my cheek in his hand. A tingling sensation ran through my body at his touch and I shivered involuntarily. He ran his thumb softly over my cheek bone and rubbed back and forth. "That blush though, is so fucking sexy." His hand lingered on my face for a moment more before the ringing of the bell broke us from our trance. I was shaking slightly from our prolonged close proximity and with a furtive glance downward realized that I needed to adjust myself before Edward noticed my boner.
"Shit, were really late." Edward muttered "You're going to Biology with Mr. Tanner right?" I nodded and a smile graced his god like face. "Awesome! We have the same class." We walked together, me in silence secretly trying to adjust myself, him filling me in on all the school Drama from the past few months of class. Edward pushed the door to S pod open with more force than was necessary and gave Mr. Tanner a satisfied smirk when it crashed against the wall.
"Cullen, you're late, again!" Edward sighed and ran his fingers through his bronze locks. Something about the motion my body found extremely sexy and I could feel myself hardening again.
"Mr. Tanner I apologize, but in my haste to get to your class I ran over poor Jasper here and I stopped to help him gather the things I knocked out of his hands." Tanner didn't seem to believe the story but gestured for Edward to sit down.
"You may sit Mr. Cullen, and Mr. Whitlock, since you seem to have met Mr. Cullen and you two seem to be so close you may take the seat beside him." the class snickered and Edward scowled.
"Sorry about him." Edward whispered once we were seated. "He hates me because I'm openly gay. I nodded, unable to form words. Was I hearing right, did this god like boy say that he was into guys? My heart leapt at the chance of being able to be with him, my dick leapt too. "Does that bother you?" he asked sounding slightly concerned.
"No not at all." The smile returned and he lounged back against the uncomfortable plastic. I tried to mimic him only to find that my back screamed in protest and I shifted to a more comfortable position. I chalked it up to the cold thinking that maybe I was catching a flue. Biology passed quickly, it helped that Edward whispered hysterical things that Mr. Tanner should do in my ear the entire time. When the bell rang we walked out of the room together, much to Mr. Tanner's disgust.
"Can I see your schedule?" Edward took the paper from me and scanned it. Then he laughed. "This is so cliché storybook, our schedules are the same." I laughed along with him secretly jumping for joy. I got to spend all day with this boy. As we walked to 5th period English Edward was bombarded by both boys and girls seeking his approval.
"it's crazy." He whispered in my ear "They all know so much about me and I hardly know all their names. Let alone who there friends are and what they like to do." He glanced out over the heads of the girls in front of us, "I'll introduce you to my true friends at lunch."
"or you can introduce me now." A gorgeous brunette said with a warm smile. Edward rolled his eyes.
"Jasper this is my best friend Bella Swan, Bella this is Jasper Whitlock." Bella flashed me a stunning smile.
"I heard about you from Dr. Cullen, he sais that you brother is going to make an amazing Dr." she turned to Edward with a disappointed look. "Late to Tanner's again? The guy already hates you so why do you have to push his limits?" Edward chuckled
"You know me Bell's, I'm always pushing the limits." Bella rolled her eyes and sat fluidly down in the seat next to mine, she leaned over the desk and whispered
"I'm watching you Cullen." I must have looked scared because she pulled back with an apologetic expression. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. Edward and I have been friends for years, since we were in dippers. So it's basically my job to keep an eye on him."
"I can look after myself." Edward shot back. Bella gave him a look that said 'sure you can' and turned her attention the front of the room. Lunch came after English and Bella walked with us to the caff. Edward introduced me to his older Brother Emmett and Emmett's girlfriend Rosalie. A girl with spiky black hair turned out to be Bella's girlfriend Alice. The group chatted for a while before getting up to wait in the lunch line. I stayed at the table, I wasn't very hungry anyway.
My days passed in a blur, the first two weeks of school had flown by. I looked forward to my time with Edward but I also enjoyed talking to Emmett and the girls. For some reason I wasn't able to shake my cold, or flue thing. If anything, over the last two weeks it had gotten worse. I was exhausted so when the others were in line for lunch I let my head rest on the table. The sounds of the lunchroom faded away and I dozed off. The next thing I was aware of was Edward shaking me.
"You need to get up Jay, we have to go to study hall." I groaned in protest but pulled myself to my feet and followed him out of the cafeteria. "Did you not sleep well?" he asked concern in his eyes. I shook my head.
"I keep waking up, it must be this stupid cold." He laughed.
"Yeah colds suck ass." I nodded in agreement and plopped down at the first empty table I saw. Edward pulled out his sketch pad and began to work on whatever drawing he was creating at the moment.
"Have you ever taken an art class?" I asked. He shook his head.
"No those people always want you to draw certain things. I like to be spontaneous." He glanced up at me than froze. "Jasper your nose is bleeding!" my hand flew to my face and a few drops of blood splattered on the table. Edward jumper up and grabbed a tissue box of the teachers desk, I took the wad he handed me and pressed it to my nose. Edward tugged my hair, pulling my head back and running his fingers through my blond curls. "Do you get nose bleeds a lot?" I shook my head. Edward got the teachers attention and she gave us a pass to go to the nurse. Edward told me to keep my head back and guided me through the building with a hand on the small of my back. "You feel real warm Jasper. Are you ok?" I shrugged. Truthfully my head had started to pound and my vision was slightly blurry. Edward laid me down on the couch in the nurse's office and went to check me in. a bubbly red head came out with fresh tissues moments later and stuck a thermometer in my ear.
"Awww you poor dear, you have a fever so I'm going to call your brother and send you home." She handed me a Dixie cup of ice chips to suck on and turned to Edward. "You can go back to class." Before he could say anything I interrupted,
"Can he please wait with me?" the nurse gave me a smile and nodded, she hurried into the office and I could hear her phoning Peter.
"Well you look like crap." Edward told me honestly. I sighed.
"Thanks for that." he smirked at me.
"It's what makes me so loveable." Peter arrived less than five minutes later and Edward headed back to class after making me promise to call him if I wasn't coming in to school the next day. Peter helped me out to his truck and boosted me up into the cab.
"You don't look so good Jasper." I whimpered and let my head fall back against the seat,
"I don't feel good either." Peter snorted something about how he didn't think so and left me to doze the rest of the ride. He helped me inside and I sprawled out on the couch. He brought me a glass of water and an aspirin and sat down on the edge of the sofa.
"You look tired Jasper, just rest for a while." I hummed my agreement and closed my eyes. The last thing I remember was Peter draping a quilt over my achy body.
"Jasper , Jasper! Wake up!" when my lids fluttered open the first thing I noticed was that Peter was in front of my face with the pen light from his doctors bag. The second thing I noticed was that my shirt felt like it was wet. Oh god did I drool in my sleep? I wondered. "Jasper you need to sit up!" Peter sounded scared so I struggled into an upright position. Peter steadied me with an arm behind my back. The room seemed to spin dangerously and I felt something warm running down my chin. I brought my hand up to my face and it came away covered in blood. I tried to ask what was happening but I gagged on the blood that seemed to be coming from my mouth. I felt my eyes widen and I stared at Peter in horror. What the fuck was happening to me. Peter had a cell phone in his hand I then noticed and he was speaking into it rapidly.
"He's bleeding, from the mouth. Fever too, along with the bruises." He paused as the person on the other line talked before he continued. "It can't be, oh God please don't let it be… Fuck I'm bringing him in." he flipped the phone closed and ran into the kitchen, returning with a dishtowel. He handed it to me and I placed it over my mouth in an attempt to gather some of the blood. Peter grabbed the truck keys, and lifted me gently from the couch. He hurried for the truck not even bothering to lock the door to the house. He placed me, quilt and all in the front seat and hurried around to the driver's side.
"It's ok Jasper; everything's going to be ok. Carlisle will take good care of you." He floored it all the way to the hospital. Fear was making me light headed, or maybe it was the loss of blood, either way the fever wasn't helping matters much. I was terrified as peter carried me into the emergency room. a blond man, who must be Carlisle Cullen was waiting for us with a rolling bed and a clipboard.
"Put him there Peter," he instructed. Once I was situated he pushed the bed down the hall. "Jasper son my names Carlisle and I'm going to examine you so we can figure out what's wrong."
"What's happening to me?" I pulled the towel out of my mouth to speak and blood poured from my lips down my chin. Carlisle grabbed some gauze and mopped the blood up expertly. "I'm not sure yet Jasper, but I promise that I'll find out." he pushed the bed into a private room and ushered Peter out so he could examine me. I felt weird standing before him in just my boxers but Carlisle soon put me at ease. He told jokes as he examined me and asked a few questions.
"You have a few bruises on you back, has it been hurting lately?" I nodded and he continued. "Also Jasper have you been having trouble urinating?" I blushed full out when I nodded but He said nothing and just helped me get dressed and wrapped me back up under my covers. Carlisle called Peter in and then expertly drew a few viles of my blood to be tested.
"Try and get some rest Jasper, you will probably be her all night." I dozed off and on till about three in the morning when Carlisle came in with a chart. Peter wrapped his arms tightly around me and I gave Carlisle a questing look. He sighed and stood before me.
"Jasper, I'm sorry but you have cancer."
