(JPOV)
Today was the day my little sister Alice, my best friend Emmett Swan, his little sister Bella, and me are moving to our new house just outside of Forks. I wish sometimes Alice would be the normal type of little sister who sleeps in on occasions like this but of course she drags me out of my peaceful sleep at 5 O'clock in the morning to do the finishing packing. But just my luck we finished early and Alice gets impatient fast.
"Jasper, I'm so bored when are they getting here?" Alice was pacing up and down the hall now. She and Bella were best friends, they do everything together. I have no idea how Bella puts up with my sister but some how she does. Emmett and I have known each other for ever and so have the girls. Emmett is protective of Bella and Alice and so am I so there was no way we were moving with out them. When we told the girls Alice of course had to take Bella shopping dragging us along of course.
"Another hour Ali, I told you we shouldn't have woken up so early" I was right of course when it came to this kind of time. Alice always wanted to start early saying 'Better safe than sorry' but most of the time we end up waiting for hours.
"Better safe than sorry Jazzy" See like I said" Oh Jazzy they're here!" Alice started jumping up and down clapping her hands. I heard the down open and close and footsteps coming upstairs to the living room. "Oh Bella you're here!" Alice yelled in her soft pixie like voice running to the stairs attacking Bella. Luckily Emmett was behind her so she didn't fall back when Alice engulfed her in a hug.
"Hi Alice" I heard her say. I look up from the TV and laughed seeing Bella look surprised. She always surprises me more and more everyday. Bella is only a year or two younger than me and only a few months older than Alice. She doesn't think much of herself but she has the whole male teenager population with the exception of Emmett of course, and myself . . . right? I mean of course me too I think of her as a little sister like Alice. But even I have to admit she is extremely beautiful. I mean come on at high school when Bella and Alice first came to school Emmet and I was batting the guys off like flies. No body dared to mess with them because they all knew they would have to deal with us. Neither of them will ever have to get their hearts broken if we have any say in it.
"Bella, are you nervous about moving?" Alice and Bella were now sitting on the couch across from me. I knew deep down Alice was worried about moving. She always thought nobody liked her because no one asked her out at Forks high. I told they were just scared that you would turn them down, and it worked of course.
"Not really. I mean yeah I'm nervous about going to a new school but not the new house part cause I won't be by myself." Alice squealed and hugged Bella again knocking the wind out of her. Emmett slapped me on the back, it hurt a little but not like I would say that out loud. I looked up at my friend seeing he had already made himself at home and was eating my food.
"Sure Em make your self at home, have some food" I said sarcastically only to hear him booming laughter as he sat next to Bella and Alice. I shook my head and laughed; only Emmett would not take that personally.
"Thanks man, I'm starved" He said whiling taking another bite of his sandwich
"Em, how can you be hungry you just had like a school bus of a breakfast not longer than an hour ago." Bella laughed staring at her brother in amazement but that was normal. Emmett looked like a bear but he would not hurt even a fly unless someone messed with his family which included Alice and myself.
"What can I say Bells, I'm as hungry as a bear" He said while he had food in his mouth. He loved picking on Bella and Alice. They were easy targets of course.
"Ewwww! Emmett close your mouth!" Alice screamed grossed out, Bella giggled and wacked her brother with a pillow. Alice burst out laughing as did I. Emmett glared at all of us and pulled Bella over to him and attacked her sides. She burst out laughing; her laugh was like music to my ears. This was my family, Alice, Bella, Emmett, and me.
Alice hit Emmett with a pillow trying to save Bella. "Let her go Emmett!" she shouted in her pixie voice. I continued laughing "Jazzy, don't just sit there help" she said to me. I laughing and got up only to grab her around the waist pulling her back and tickling her sides like Emmett is with Bella. "Not . . . fair . . Jazzy" She said in between giggles
"Take that back Bella and I'll stop!" Emmett yelled to his sister her was beyond laughing now. Alice was the same as Bella.
"I take it back!" she screamed out seconds after. Emmett stopped and I stopped with Alice. They glared at us for the longest time. They looked at each other and that confused me they were planning something alright. "Not! Alice run!" They got up running and went out the front door, Alice grabbing she shoes on the way out the door. We could hear their laughing then the car doors slamming shut seconds later.
"Oh no they don't! They better not hurt my baby!" That's what Emmett refers his Jeep as. I laughed as he went running out the door. I grabbed Alice's millions of bags first and went outside. I heard the girls screams of laughing, I chuckled knowing Emmett got inside the Jeep.
I quickly put the bags in the back of the jeep with Emmett and Bella's bags then went back to get the rest of Alice's bags. It took at least fours trips all together to get of mine and my sister's stuff and it just barely fit. I bet they didn't even realize I did this. I looked to the lawn of my old home to see that Emmett had Bella over his shoulder and is running after Alice. She must have put on her shoes once she got to the car because she was no longer barefoot.
"Jasper HELP!" Alice yelled while running in a circle to get away from Emmett. I laughed and jogged over to them, I picked up Alice over my shoulder and she started banging her fist on my back "Not fair you always take his side" she whined as Emmett and I laughed
"We better get going" I suggested and we walked over to the Jeep not putting the girls down. I went on one side of the Jeep and Emmett on the other. We put the girls in the car and buckled the up as they pouted "Don't feel bad you two. We have the advantage, we're bigger and faster than you" I laughed only to get them sticking their tongues out at me. We shut their door and got in upfront, Emmet of course driving and I was navigating.
It was an hour and a half long ride and we only got lost once. Emmett apparently needs to learn his left from his right. We got to the house with no trouble. It was only noon, and luckily clear skies. It was still chilly out but no rain. We all got out and the girls watched as we man did all the heavy lifting. Once we were done we went back outside to see them just talking.
"Thanks for the help you two!" I shouted over to them as we approached them. Emmet was annoyed with them I could tell he wasn't making a joke. They just laughed at us.
"Sorry guys but we didn't want to break a nail. Plus we girls aren't as big and strong like you men" Bella said twisting my words from earlier. Alice started giggled and slapped five Bella. Oh they were going to get it now. I looked at Emmett he had a idea of course on how to get them back
"Get them Jasper!" Emmett yelled and the girls squealed. They took off running, but Emmett cut off Alice but Bella slipped passed him running for the house. "Get her Jazz!" He yelled to me. I took off running after Bella but she got a head start making it a little bit harder to find her
"Run Bella!" I heard Alice yell from behind me. Emmett had her so she couldn't help Bella. I got into the house and heard Bella running upstairs. I heard she fall a couple times and laughed as I made my way upstairs. I heard a door slam shut and went to find where it came from. I listened to see if I could hear her at all. Not long after I heard her heavy breathing and quietly opened the door. She was looking out the window her back facing me. I silently tip toes behind her putting my hand over her mouth and wrapped an arm around her waist. She tried screaming and fighting me off but as she said earlier I was a big strong man.
"Shh Bella. If you promise not to scream I'll remove my hand. You promise?" She nodded her head and I hesitated for a moment but removed my hand. Not long after the room filled with her screams. I quickly moved my hand back over her mouth so now all I could hear were muffles of her screams "Now, that wasn't nice Bella you promised" I laughed and picked her up a little and walked out of the room and down the stair carefully. She stopped fighting long enough for us to safely get down the stairs but them she started again not long after.
I walked into the living with Bella in my arm still fighting me. I didn't mind I would be scared if she didn't fight me back. I quickly shut the front door with my foot and moved us over to the furniture part of the living room. I let go of Bella and blocked her escape. "No fair!" She laughed. She smacked me when I wouldn't let her pass "Jasper come on!" she giggled again, she went to smack me again but I caught her wrist and wrapped my arm around her waist pulling her close against me. She looked into my eyes as I did with her; it was like we were stuck there.
I hadn't heard Emmett walked in the room with an angry pixie over his shoulder hitting his back. I was too entranced with Bella. "What do you think you're doing with my sister?" I heard him behind me. Alice went silent automatically once Emmett spoke. We broke apart faster then normal; I stared at Emmett not knowing what to say
"Em, it wasn't what it looked like" Bella blurted out. God I think I'm going to have a heart attack soon if Emmett doesn't say something.
"I think it's exactly what it looked like Bells." Oh shit I'm dead "Jazzy caught you . . . and now . . . it's pay back time!" Oh thank god he didn't think anything of what ever just happened between me and Bella. "Jazz get her!" I returned to reality and swung Bella around and we ended up on the couch and I attacked her sides. Emmett did the same with Alice. The house was filled with their laughter quickly.
We stopped when they gave up. Alice made Emmett help her cook lunch, leaving me and Bella but we didn't noticed. I was still on top of her. I smiled down at her as she smiled at me. I got lost in her deep brown eyes. "Jazz . . . Jazzy . . . Jasper" I shook my head coming back to the real world and heard her calling my name
"Yes Bella?" I laughed. She started giggling again soon after I started.
"Jasper, you're crushing me" I saw that I was completely on top of her still. I felt the heat rise to my face as I tried to quickly get off of her but ended up falling onto to the hard floor. She burst out laughing at me, now I knew I must be deep red by now. "Jazzy, you hurt?" She said to me looking down at me from the couch
"No, Bella I'm fine"
"Well that's good, because now I can run!" She bolted off the couch and ran up the stairs laughing. It took me a moment to realize she left then I got up and chased after her. But Once I got to the stairs I heard Alice shout "Jazzy, Em's stupid I need some help!" I groaned and went to the kitchen to help Alice and Emmett. Not long Bella came back down and took a sniff
"Smells awesome in here Alice need anymore help?"
"Actually yeah, Bella go help Jasper, he seems clueless on how to cut the onions correctly." Oh great I'm going to be hearing that for the rest of my life now. Bella came over to 'help' me with the cutting.
"Poor Jazzy can't cut onions right" she mocked me and giggled.
"It's harder than it looks Bella"
"Yeah sure, sure. " She slipped under my arm and put her hands on top of mine. I felt a shock of electricity when she touched me. I heard her take in a sharp breath, meaning she felt it too. "Just follow my lead Kay Jazzy?" I nodded my head and she began to help me cut the onions. We finished soon after and she moved her hands away and twisted around so now she was facing me "See now that wasn't so bad" She giggled but didn't move. She was wedged in between the counter and me and looked like she was comfortable. She put a hand on my chest and smiled. More electricity shot through her touch.
"Hey Bella, Let's go shopping. I'm sure Jasper can finish up dinner with out us" Great Alice always ruins the moment. Bella patted my chest with her hand and slipped back under my arm and left to go with Alice bringing Emmett with them. What the hell is wrong with me today? Why am I thinking of . . . Bella like more than a sister? That's all I see her as . . . isn't it? Oh god I need to sit and think about this.
(APOV)
I need to get out of that house. I needed to talk to Bella only Emmett had to come. He doesn't let us ever go alone unless it's down the street but even then either him or Jasper has to drive us. Today has been so weird. Like when Emmett carried me (unwillingly) into the living room. Thank god we put a mirror on the wall so I saw how they were standing. Jasper had one arm wrapped around her and the other holding her arm. They were extra close almost too close to me. Jasper got lucky today Emmett doesn't think a thing of it at all. I heard Bella run up the stairs after a crash. I heard Jasper start running to go after her but I told him to help me. Bella came back down soon after and asked if I needed any help. I've known my brother had a thing for my best friend for like a month now even if they don't know it he does not sure about Bella yet but with a push in the right direction she will. So I told her to help Jasper with the onions.
I saw the look they gave each other when they touched it was like a fairly tale happening before my eyes. But like in every fairly tale there's a problem. I saw their awkward moment just standing there facing each other with her hand on him. I didn't want Emmett to become the fairy tale problem so I suggested to Bella that we were going shopping and that Jasper could take care of the food while we were gone.
We got to the mall and I was shocked in horror it was so small. Hopefully there was a closer one in a near by town or something because this will not do not do at all. I look at Bella and smiled she's joking around with Emmett in the front. "So Alice what do you think of the mall so far?" I heard Bella say breaking me from my thoughts
"It looks small" I mumbled quickly not liking this mall so far. Emmett and Bella laughed at my comment about the mall and he parked the car. We got out and went inside the entrance. I gasped in more horror seeing how small the inside of the mall was. Bella laughed at me and wrapped her arm around my shoulder
"Come on Ali, it's not so bad" She's just saying that because that means she thinks I won't be able to drag her to as many shops now. But she is sadly mistaken I WILL find a mall big enough and so prove her wrong.
"Be happy while it last Bella" I mumbled and she laughed and kissed my cheek as we took off to find some clothes. I went in shopping mode once we entered the store. Of course Emmett would wait out front of the store while we shopped. The first time we let him come in he went in overprotective brother mode and dictated MY taste of clothes. That did not settle well with me I made him stare out of any stores we went in to shop.
I tossed clothes at Bella left and right for her to try on and picked some really cute stuff for me to try on. We found some really adorable clothes and headed to the dressing rooms. Bella went first of course we took turns last time I went first. She tried on the green dress. It was strapless and mid- thigh length. She came out and did a twirl for me it looks so hot on her. Next was a silky dark green shirt puffed sleeves and low cut. Her shoulders were bare and she had skinny jeans on. Also super cute. She tried on a few more outfits only one or two were rejects now it was my turn.
I tried on the white strapless knee length dress. It was cute too. Then I tried on a light green top with elbowed long ruffled sleeves and not really low cut but it was fine. I had on a pair of designer flared jeans. This went on for another 10 minutes. Only one outfit I didn't like. We ended out with 20 outfits for Bella and 40 for me. We went next to a shoe store. We got about 25 pairs of shoes altogether. No bad. Emmett complained he was hungry and I sighed and gave in. We left to go back to the house. Hopefully Jasper didn't burn down the house. I haven't gotten to get a good look at the house yet so none of us have picked our rooms yet so that is on the list to do.
W got back to the house in record time. Emmett must have been really hungry because He raced out of the Jeep and grabbed as many of our bags from the trunk and ran inside "Emmett you better be careful with those!" I yelled as Jasper came out and waved at us. I saw the look he was giving Bella even if she didn't I knew he liked her but how do I react to that? She's my best friend and he's my older brother? I heard a crash from inside the house "Emmett you're dead if anything happens to those!" I screamed as I ran to the house stopping at the door "Jazzy, Bella will help you with the rest of the bags. Bella I'm going to go kill your brother now" she laughed and I ran inside the house "Emmett Swan I'm going to kill you!" I screamed from inside the house
(JPOV)
I heard the Jeep pulled up and no sooner Emmett running into the house with many bags. "Hey Jasper go help the girls. I'm to hungry to get the rest of the bags" of course there were more clothes then what Emmett had brought in.
"Sure, sure" I got up and heard Alice screaming. I got to the door and waved at them I missed Bella. Wait what did I just say I missed Bella? She wasn't gone long and it was just her I missed the most. Alice looked at me like she was in deep thought. Knowing my little sister she probably had everything figured out before I even know anything. I heard a crash come from inside the house, Emmett's in deep crap now.
"Emmett you're dead if anything happens to those!" I heard Alice screamed as she ran pass me to the house stopping at the door and turning back to Bella and me "Jazzy, Bella will help you with the rest of the bags. Bella I'm going to go kill your brother now" she laughed and ran inside the house "Emmett Swan I'm going to kill you!" I hear her scream from inside the house. I laughed he was so dead now. I turned and looked at Bella she was laughing so hard
I walked over to the Jeep and grabbed some bags as did Bella. Our hands touched and we both pulled back from the shock. I looked at her as she looked at me. Oh shit this can't be god. Not good at all
