Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight, this is basically just a little fun to do :) I own plot :)
Please read! Thanks! :)
It was definitely Edward Cullen. He looked scared shitless as he scrambled up his sheets to cover himself.
"Who the hell are you?" He shouted, reached for his phone on the side table. I put my hands up.
"H-how did I get here?" I asked, panicked, and pushed myself into the wall. Edward ran his hands through his hair, and looked around.
"Nobody has ever passed security...I'll give you that." He grabbed his phone and started dialling.
"Wait!" I stopped him. "Where am I?" Edward raised his eyebrow, but answered anyway.
"Um...Vancouver?"
I shook my head. "I didn't take geography, thank you very much. Where's Vancouver?"
Edward shook his head. "Er...Canada?" Canada. Canada. Canada...
"WHAT!" I jumped up, startling Edward. "CANADA! There's no way in hell that I'm in Canada. Fuck- where are the freaking cameras!" I looked around, and went around the corner, when I came back unsuccessful, I found Edward on the phone.
"Yeah. What shall I do? Hurry." He caught my eye and slowly put his phone down. "You know, your act is quite believable. But one thing- care to explain why you end up in my room? And you obviously recognise me, and you can't randomly end up here."
"Edward, I'm from England."
"I can tell." He muttered.
"Huh?"
"Accent." He nodded.
"Oh, well anyway. I was just in England, oh shit!" I stepped forward. "Can I use your phone?" Edward nodded silently and threw it lightly into my hands. "How do I call England? What's Canada's exit code?" After that fuss, I found myself on the phone to Tia.
"Hello?" I heard a panicked voice. Tia.
"Tia? Oh my god what happened?" I sat down. Edward was looking at me uneasily but I waved him off, and tears pooled in my eyes. "Tia." I sniffled.
"Oh my god! Bella! You just...disappeared! Like a flash, you were gone! Where are you? Where did you go?"
"Tia...I'm in Vancouver..." I paused. "...Canada." I held the phone away from my ear as I heard her screeching. Suddenly the phone was out of my hands. I turned around, shocked, and saw Edward wrapped in his quilt, holding the phone to his ear.
"Excuse me? Um...Tia please stop crying..." I felt a tear slip down my face, and Edward put one hand against my cheek, soothing me, as he spoke to my sister. Unfortunately, his quilt slipped, and he snatched his hand back, bending down so the quilt wouldn't fall so fast. I looked up immediately, trying to ignore what had happened.
"Yeah. Edward Cullen." He dropped the phone, and I stifled a giggle as we heard the screams still.
"She's 14." Edward nodded, and suddenly the door swung open, revealing a muscled man with his hands up in front of him. Emmett McCarty.
"Slow down, Missy." He warned me, and I put my hands innocently behind my head as Edward dropped down to pick up the screaming phone.
"Um...Edward." I mumbled, kicking him slightly with my foot. He looked up, and turned around to a questioning Emmett.
"Em. Speak to this girl." He went to give him the phone but I put my hand his shoulder to stop him.
"Let me talk to her. I know her." He passed me the phone calmly, and went to talk to Em and get changed into some boxers as I spoke to the teary girl.
"Tia please calm down. I need to sort some stuff out, find a way home. I'll call you asap. Get contact with Mum and tell her I'm ok."
"Be careful, Bells." I nodded.
"I will. Promise." I hung up and turned to the pair of boys, who were conversing worriedly. "So...what have you figured out yet?"
Emmett took on a protective stance. "It's impossible that you just...appeared. You must be crazy if we believe that."
I sighed. "Ok then, find me someone crazy who will believe me. We'll get further than we are so far."
Edward frowned. "We can check the security cameras..."
I decided to step in. "Why don't you call my school to see if I was there? I'm sure they'll love to tell you."
"Do you know their number?"
"Er...no. Why would you think I knew my school's phone number?" I shook my head. Boys...
"Well why offer it?"
"Why don't you search it?" I raised my hand to the laptop, and Edward went and opened it up. "Do you think I would lie about it?"
Emmett stepped forward a little. "Well if you were us what would you think or a stranger saying all the stuff you are right now?"
I shrugged. "I'm not in your position, so it isn't my obligation to answer that."
"Edward hurry! And you-" He pointed at me, "-don't go anywhere!" Edward starting clicking, and I spelt out my school's name. I handed him the phone and he started dialling.
"Are you sure they'll be there?" Edward mumbled, and then he started speaking. "Hello, I would like to confirm that..."
"Bella Swan." I whispered to him.
"...Bella Swan was in school yesterday... or today. I'm from America, but please for the best interest of us all call back, or leave a voice mail message. Thank you." He sighed. "Looks like we'll have to find someone to babysit you while we can get the right info." He scratched the side of his neck and turned off the laptop. "Bella. Seriously, this is not funny, or a way to try spend time with us, is it?" I shook my head, very seriously.
"Positive."
"And you don't know where you are?"
"Negative. Besides what you've already told me. What part of Canada is Vancouver?"
"The cool part."
"Cool."
"Hey, Eddie, Jazz and Bree are on their way here." I frowned.
"Are they a couple?" I wondered, disappointed.
"No. Bree is his bodyguard, and she wanted to see you for herself. She has a way of finding things out." I nodded slowly. I'd laugh if she diagnosed me incorrectly. The knocking soon arrived and Emmett opened the door warily.
"Hey Jazz, Bree, hows it going?"
"Who is she? What do you know?" I heard soft whispers, and Emmett replied almost as quietly.
"Bella Swan. She's trying to convince us that she like...magically appeared here. It's impossible in every way." A dark haired girl barged through the door, and her dark eyes flashed to mine, and she smiled lightly. You couldn't tell she were dangerous at all. She wasn't extremely muscled or large, or a defensive stance. She stuck out her hand, and I shook it calmly.
"Hi. I'm Bella."
"Bree. Can we talk for a second outside?" I slipped off the table and followed her out. And what had made and ruined my day, was I passed by Jazz, and my arm brushed against his chest...but when he saw me, his eyes widened dramatically and he went as close to the wall as possible, avoiding me. I was immensely hurt and offended. What was wrong with me? Was I the opposite of a magnet? A repeller? Bree shut the door behind her and smiled at me.
"Bella. I know what happens when a girl sees one of these lads, and believe me. I know. And we sometimes do get people who manage to tackle down security or pass them entirely, and even some who've tried to climb up the balconies. But...you do not appear on any of the videos. Not even in disguise, as nobody came down this hall before Em. How did you manage?" My mouth fell open.
"People climb balconies to see them? Holy shizzle." I stood in amazement. "But honestly, I was in my kitchen with my younger sister, no less than half an hour ago, in England, and now- where am I? I would think if this was a huge prank that someone stupid has done, but I wasn't led anywhere from my kitchen! I just...blinked. And here I am!" I sank to the floor, depressed. "You don't believe me, do you?"
"Have you ever tried acting?" I shook my head.
"When we had drama in lesson I never had a important role, just a background thing. Never even got a chance to try. I tried out for the school play in primary school but I didn't get through. Just because I was a kid." I closed my eyes and willed myself to go back home. This wasn't what I wanted. I wanted my Mom. Bree leaned down and patted my shoulder.
"There there." She soothed. "We'll try to get you home, but if you story is true, I doubt we can. We have deadlines to meet, and if you don't turn out to be a stalker, then you can stick around for a while. Depends." I didn't give myself any hope. "Wow. Usually someone will be screaming right about now. You're a weird child."
"I'm just not in the mood to be happy right now." I heard the door open, and someone cleared their throat. Bree got up and hushed whispers were heard, but I couldn't pick out any words.
"Bella? Do you want to come in?" I stood up and walked forward, and Bree directed me to the sofa.
"Actually, do you mind if I take a breather outside?" She nodded and opened the patio door. I felt her leave and I walked to the edge of the balcony and looked down. We must be pretty high, as people were the size of ants, and cars were the size of small dinky car toys that someone would play with. Surely someone would notice if they saw someone climbing these. I sighed and let the cool air take control of my mood. In and out. Breathe in and out. I heard the patio door slide open, but didn't bother to look around to see who it was.
"Do you want some company?" I heard, but couldn't believe my ears. My eyes widened slightly and I looked at Jasper Whitlock, in the flesh.
"O-okay." He looked relieved and stood a few centimetres away from me, leaning on the bar also. "So what are you working on here?"
"Um...we're working on the sequel to Vampire, have you seen it?" I nodded.
"I kind of have a poster of it in my bedroom." He gave me that gorgeous crooked dimpled smirk, and my heart fluttered in my chest.
"That's funny." He mumbled. "We're on post production at the moment. Meaning a few months getting fit, training for our stunt scenes, and doing a few here. We then go to Washington to film some main scenes."
"Do you believe me?"
Jasper sighed. "I have no idea. The idea isn't very plausible...traveling through time and space. It's like believing vampires do exist." I shrugged.
"Who knows?"
"Who knows." He repeated. He then turned to face me. "Jasper Whitlock, but call me Jazz." I smiled and shook his hand, feeling a shock go through my arm and up to my shoulder. He let go almost straight after I got the shock, and he shook his hand.
"Ha, you gave me an electric shock." I laughed with him.
"I felt that too." I waved my hand about a little. Jazz gave me an odd look. "What?"
"I don't believe that you are what everyone thinks you are." He whispered, and put his hand to my cheek, and I stiffened slightly. He removed his hand.
"A-a-and what do they think of me." Jazz's eyebrows raised minutely.
"Well...they think you are some crazed fan who crept into Edward's bedroom to perv on him while he sleeps." He laughed weakly.
"I am." I blurted out. Jazz gave me a panicked expression, and I laughed it off. "I'm kidding." Jazz kept on giving me slide glances. "Sorry. I tend to blurt things out in the wrong situations. I honestly can tell you...not to even save my horse would I try climbing up these." I gestured to the columns of balconies. Jazz's eyes brightened.
"You own a horse?" I nodded. "What's it's name?"
"His name is Dart." It was sort of an inside joke, I smirked as I remember the day I got him. I won an immense game of darts against my friends, and especially their champ, Liam, so I wanted to rub it in his face, so I named my horse Dart. It's also a easy way to call him. Dart! Dart! C'mere boy!
"I have a horse too. Her name Doll." I nodded.
"That's lovely." Jazz smiled as I said that.
"Yeah, Doll's a beauty. She's gorgeous." We jumped, startled as Edward knocked on the glass.
"Bella. Your alibi has checked out. You were at school, but that doesn't mean you didn't catch a flight..." He looked behind him. "Ok we know you didn't get a plane from any England airports. You should still be in England, and a boat won't get you far in time." He frowned. "Do you have a visa? If not, technically you shouldn't be allowed in the country."
"I have a visa. It's back at home." I pouted. At home. Not in Vancouver.
"Well we'll have to get the authorities to allow it, since you do own one." He stepped back inside, and Jazz led me back, I was getting slightly cold. A new woman was in the room, and she gave me a shocked expression. I gave Jazz a questioning look.
"This is Esme. She wrote the book." My mouth fell open. The Esme?
"Er...I have all of your books.." I muttered incoherently and reach out to shake her hand. She sent me a speculating look as I stepped back.
"Edward...who is this girl?" I was slightly taken a back, but she didn't say it in a cruel way..." She looks just as I pictured Alice's character to be..." All eyes turned to me. Huh? "In my image of the book...this was how I saw her..." I raised one eyebrow. What? She pulled Edward to the slide and I wondered in my mind on what she meant.
"Was she saying I should be Alice's character?" I gave Jazz a expression words cannot describe. I mean, the movie is worldwide, every household should know of it. It made me believe in the existance of love again...and was she saying that if I had turned up at auditions...I would be playing the main character? Oh my god.
"Bella. Shush. Calm down." He rested his hand on my arms, and my breathing slowed down dramatically. Esme arrived after a minute and put her phone back in her pocket.
"Bella. Since you obviously aren't the stalker we thought you were- but how you got here still needs some explaining...I've asked the company if we can add a cast member, as it would be a huge honour to have you in the film. You are exactly how I pictured my girl and I can't rid Alice of her role, so I'll settle for the next best thing." I was speechless. "Say yes?"
"Er..." I gave everyone in the room a look, then my eyes went back to Esme's "huh...Okay?" Esme screeched and jumped up to hug me, and I gave her an awkward hug. Emmett smirked and put his arm around Edward's shoulders, pulling him to him to ruffle his hair. I beamed up at Jazz and his eyes danced with emotion.
"Okay...question one...how do you act?" Esme's smiled faded.
"You can't act?" She gave Jazz an uncertain look.
I shrugged. "I've never tried, to be honest."
Esme sighed. "We'll see when we get there, okay? The script writer will have to fit you in..." She went flying through the door and the boys followed, and that left me and Jazz alone. I felt more uncomfortable, since when I was on the balcony, the group were in the next room. This seemed, more intimate...Jazz took a hold of my hand and squeezed, tightly.
"Come on, let's follow them." He pulled me through the door, shutting it as we went, and then through a hallway, down a elevator, through more hallways, and then I found myself in a sort of...conference room. I recognised the boys and Esme, as well as Rosalie Hale and Alice Brandon. My mouth dropped, and Jazz took that opportunity to close it for me, smirking at me.
"I'd close that if I were you. You don't want to catch flies."
I smiled. "I'm sure they aim right for me. Usually it's the wasps that come for me though. Sometimes bees, and one time a hornet." Jazz's eyes widened and I nodded. "On holiday, it came for me and I put my cup over it, put my magazine under it, and moved it. The cup fell when I put it on the floor from the wind, and the hornet came for me and my magazine! I remember the magazine being scratched from where the hornet had attacked it, and I dropped it and jumped in the pool." It was silent for a moment, and then the room burst out laughing. I couldn't help but smirk.
"Bella...you are a t-target for danger.." Jazz mutter as he clutched onto me for support, and I helped him to a chair. I sat next to him as he wouldn't let go of my hand, and once the room calmed down the meeting began. I saw Rosalie and Alice give me warm smiles when I noticed, and some other unfamiliar faces.
"We have a new actress on board, Bella Swan." A man began. "Bella, we're so sorry, but we can't send you home yet... even if you weren't acting on it, because as Bree said she explained about our deadlines, and it's all extra costs to send you by yourself, and you will need someone to accompany you...when we all head to England for the premiere...we can take you home then. Edward gave me the number you dialled and we've arranged it." I nodded. "Pre production begins in two days, so we want you to eat as healthy as you can, actors and actresses, and we need to get you fit for a months time when we begin filming here. Those under 18 will have a tutor come in this evening, and every other day. As the same from the first film, whenever we're on a break, we'll try fit your tutoring in." The meeting adjourned after half an hour, and I followed everyone out of the room and the direction Jazz was going. Alice skipped to my side, and Rosalie linked her arm with mine, forcing Jazz to let go. I pouted, and Rosalie smirked.
"Come on. We've got some catching up to do." She and Alice pulled me to what I assumed was their rooms, and products and clothes were everywhere. We landed on the bed, and they sat cross legged in front of me.
"So...Bella Swan. Tell us about you and we'll do the same after you!" Alice giggled excitedly, and I couldn't help but feel her hyperness.
"Um...I'm from England, and I have a 14 year old sister...I'm 16..."
"Boyfriend?" Rosalie asked, interrogating me.
"Not exactly." Alice jumped slightly.
"Spill." I sighed.
"There's this guy called Sam-" Alice squealed, and Rosalie waited patiently. "- we're...I don't know what we are. But obviously not going to be much seeing as I'm here for a while." Rosalie sighed.
"So is there anything going on between you and Jazz?" She asked me, and I felt my lips turn upwards.
"Um...well I'm not sure either. He held my hand." Both nodded vigorously. "And we had a cool chat earlier-" Alice opened her mouth to interrupt, but I blocked her voice before it could come out. "- but we've only just met, and I've known him much longer than he has me. I think he's the most gorgeous out of the guy cast..." I sighed dreamily. "But doesn't he have a girlfriend?" Alice shook her head.
"Nope. Rumours." Rosalie shrugged as Alice spoke. "Neither are me and Edward dating...Rose and Em...well..." Rosalie smacked her arm playfully, smiling. "the get up to no good business often... but the paps go crazy if we don't tell them if we're dating, and it's recommended to boost our careers if we just let their minds wander, no harm done really." Alice's head turned to Rosalie.
"I'm Rose, that's Alice,we sometimes call her Brandy, and we are your new besties!" She laughed and high fived Alice. From what I knew, Rose was 17 and Alice 16, Emmett 17 and Edward and Jazz 16. If you wanted to know, Esme is 35.
"So what is pre- production then?" I asked curiously. They looked at each other, then back at me, both shrugging.
"We didn't really need it before, but this one is going to be more exciting and full of our own stunts, so we'll need training and to keep us fit and hot!" She raised a hand in the air to hoot. I smirked. This may be more than fun. "It's basically like a long sport lesson with all of you friends and it's much more fun, and you're paid for it, in money and results of the workout." She laughed and stuck out her toned leg. "See? Well worth it!" I grinned at her.
"I'm sure I'll be the most unfit out of all of you then."
"Doubt it. Honestly, we're fat on the inside." Alice laughed gleefully. "Oh my gosh!" We turned to face her.
"Uh oh, back away, Bella. Run for your life!" Rose dramatically whispered to me. I raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"You don't have any clothes, do you?"
I looked to my outfit. Oh great, I had been wearing my pajamas in front of absolutely everyone. Good job I wore a bra. "Oh...er...yeah I kinda do need some clothes..." Rose face palmed. Alice clapped her hands in glee.
"Great! We can go shopping!"
"Alice! I can't go out in PJs!" Alice tutted at me.
"Did you think I would let you go out in that?" She shuddered, and I smirked as she got up and went to the wardrobe and started sifting through the racks of clothes. My eyes widened as I saw how much was in there.
"You look like my size. Here." She passed me some clothes, and I changed outfits. As I pulled my top over my head, the hair that was covering my shoulders and neck bundled around me, so I flicked it behind me. That was when I heard a gasp.
"My my my, look what we have here. Bella, could Jazz keep his hands off you? I mean..." Alice turned me so Rose could look, and I realised what they were on about.
"That wasn't Jazz." Rose shook her head. "He wouldn't do that like out of the blue..." I nodded.
"That was Sam. He came to my house just before I came...here...and he gave me it. Can you cover it up?" Alice rolled her eyes.
"Of course I can! Who do you think I am?" She scoffed.
"Make sure Jazz doesn't see that." Rose pointed out. "Don't want him getting the wrong idea..." I nodded.
"When do we leave?"
"As soon as I'm done with your makeup." I groaned and prepared myself for a long day.
...
I was tired. Exhausted. Flabbergasted. Knackered. Sleepy. Drained. What other words could describe this one feeling as I carried bags and bags of shopping up to my new hotel room. Alice kept talking, which in a way was bad, as she hadn't shut up all day, but also was good, as I knew what direction to go, because I couldn't see through the bags above my head.
"These are going to look so good on you! I bet you're tired from your jet lag, or whatever lag you have."
"I think it's more Alice-lag if you ask me." Rose commented, and I giggled.
"Yep. That's the one!"
"Hey! I'm doing you a good deed. I'm giving you a complete make over as well as getting you something to wear besides that piece of material!" She opened the door, and I walked through.
"Where do I put these?" I wondered, and saw from the corner of my eye an empty space, so I dropped the bags on the floor and walked back to Alice. We were meeting the other people now for dinner. We would have got changed, but Alice spent so long, we were already late from shopping. I followed Alice with Rose as we made our way to the function room, which was separate from the main hotel's restaurant due to statuses. I saw Edward, Emmett and Jazz wave us over, who were with a few other people on a table. Jazz smiled as I walked up to him, and offered me the seat next to him, which was next to Edward.
"Hey, guess Alice took you shopping." He smirked and kissed my cheek and pulled the seat out for me. I blushed and looked down as he sat himself down. "You know, we've learnt to develop a way of making her not ask us to go shopping..."
I gave him an urgent look. "Tell me. For the love of God, tell me." He laughed and stared directly into my eyes.
"Stand your ground. Say no." I sighed.
"That won't work. I have the same amount of will power as someone with a very small will power." I pouted.
"I'll cover you next time then, shall I?" We were told it was a buffet, so we got up to find our grub. Emmett was before me in the queue, and I was amazed at how much he managed to balance onto his plate! I continued to stare as we got back to our seats, and looked at how much I had taken. Did American's have a bigger appetite? I glanced at everyone else's plates. Nope, it was just Emmett.
"I'm a growing man, Bella." Emmett smirked, taking a mouthful of food. I bit my lip.
"Fair play." I nodded, and picked up my fork and knife. Emmett let out a chuckle, which made me smile more.
"Ok Bella, introductions. I'm Jazz, as you know...Brandy, Rose, Em, Eddie, Seth, Jake, Brady and you'll meet the rest later on." I nodded, knowing it would be a few days before I could remember them all. We started eating, and we began a mindless banter.
"Hey Jazz did you figure out when your period started?" I choked on my food, and I swore Jazz growled at Em. Jazz put a hand to my back, and lightly tapped it.
"I'm ok, Miss." I burst out laughing, and Jazz's eyes narrowed at me playfully, as his lips turned up at the corners.
"Um...Em...did you figure out a way to tell my little sister why her swing broke last time you came over?" I stifled a giggle and covered my mouth. Jazz wore a cute smirk that emphasized his dimples, and I wanted to kiss him right there and then.
"Hey! You were on it too! How come everyone blames me for that?" Em exclaimed through a mouthful of more food.
"Because you're the one who wanted to see if you could jump on it as well as swing" Jazz shot back. Em waved him off.
"It could have worked..."
"It could have, but now my sister is missing a swing." He mocked.
"So, how did you get the job, Bella? Heard that they made an extra slot for you." Seth asked over the table. All eyes turned to me and I shriveled against it. Jazz put an arm over my shoulders and kissed my head.
"Esme just said she had the look, so immediately wanted her in." Jazz helped me answer, and I just nodded. I didn't want them to know that I 'appeared' here, because I didn't want them to see me as a freak. After dinner, the gang and I went to the larger bedroom, and we sat on the sofas and bed to chat. The gang consisted of Edward, Jazz, Em, Rose, Alice and myself. Jazz had held my hand ever since we finished eating, and I couldn't help but have those feelings increase further. We sat on the love seat, and I cuddled up close to him as I inhaled the scent that was all Jazz. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me closer, so I had my head resting on his chest, which rose up and down slowly. Alice smirked as she sat down next to Edward and put her legs over his lap, and Edward laughed quietly and pulled on her legs, so she fell down on the sofa in a huff. Rose sat on Em's lap on the bed, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Hmm look at us. All coupled up." Rose smirked and I saw Alice look oddly at each other with Edward, btu they both shrugged and turned to me and Jazz. I didn't want to move away from Jazz, and it seemed that he didn't want to either, as he puller me tighter to him.
"What?" Jazz defended and I smiled quietly to myself.
"Nothing." Edward grinned, and Alice slapped his chest.
"Hey, Alice? What sort of clothes are in that huge wardrobe?" Everyone groaned, beside Alice, obviously, and Jazz, who chuckled and sat up. As Alice was about to begin Jazz picked me up and walked out of the door.
"Be back later!" Jazz shouted over his shoulder, and I giggled as he took me to his hotel room and swung the door open. He kicked the door shut and ran me to his bed and put me down. We laid next to each other, staring into each others eyes, when Jazz spoke.
"I wanna say...I really do like you." I smiled and whispered the same thing to him, and then he leaned closer and rolled me onto my back as he dipped his lips to my own, and we kissed sweetly. My first thought was, Oh my gosh I'm kissing Jasper Whitlock! The second thought was, I'm with Jazz, who likes me too. A soft moan left my lips and he pressed himself closer to me, cupping my jaw with his hand. How did I get so lucky? He rolled over on top of me and trailed the tip of his tongue along my lower lip, and I more than willingly complied to open my mouth for our tongues to make contact. When we ran out of breath he gave me and Eskimo kiss, and I giggled. He rolled back on the bed and pulled me to him.
"I've wanted to do that for a while..." He mumbled against my hair, looking at my eyes carefully.
"It's been longer for me." I stated, and he chuckled.
"I hope not too long." My eyes started to slip closed and Jazz noticed.
"Sleep, Bella. Sleep, but not in those jeans." He pointed out my skinny jeans, and I groaned.
"I don't want to sleep." I muttered, inhaling his scent in. He laughed.
"I'll be here when you wake up." He breathed, and he didn't give me a good case to argue for. I huffed and got out of bed, pulling my jeans down. When I turned around, the covers were pulled open, and Jazz was lying on the bed, shirt off, waiting for me as I jumped on him. He spooned me and whispered sweet nothings in my ear until I could drift off. My last thought was wondering if life could get any better.
...
I woke to sun streaming through the windows, a sort of calm atmosphere, and Jazz's steady breathing. I was tucked up into the crook of his shoulder, and I watched his peaceful face as he dreamt all things magical. I'd be the luckiest woman on the planet- this moment. Right here. His eyes fluttered open, and he took in a sharp inhale of breath, and his arm tightened around me. He blinked for a moment, looking around them room, and he sighed and turned his head slightly in my direction.
"Mornin' Bella." He smirked, resting his head on mine. My whole body was so warm and relaxed, I didn't want it to disappear.
"Morning." I smiled and kissed what skin was next to me. He stroked my arm unconsciously. "What's on the schedule today?"
"Hmm...well I need to brush my teeth..."
"And me." I added.
"And then I'll tell you." He smirked, and picked me up, heading for the bathroom. We took turns in using the toothbrush, and I left the room while brushing my teeth as Jazz had to...relieve himself. Soon we were back on the bed, and I gave him an accusing look.
"So, schedule?" He grinned and kissed my lips with a vengeance. I caught on. Kissing, kissing...and what else did we have to do today? Oh yeah- kissing. I was first to run my tongue along his bottom lip and he smiled slightly as he opened his mouth, tongue dancing with my own. When I ran out of breath, Jazz kissed along my jaw line, and then down to my neck...and he stopped. Or more froze. I leaned back, questions firing at him silently. His eyes stayed on my neck. Oh fuck.
"Jazz?" I asked worriedly.
"What is that?" He asked rhetorically. The hickey. Love bite. Whatever you call them these days, he knew what it was.
"Um...I can explain." In a quick movement he was off the bed, and glaring down at me fiercely.
"Do so." He muttered, and I scrambled to my feet.
"Shit...so back in England...-"
"-You had a boyfriend? But because this was one in a lifetime opportunity for Jasper Whitlock to be with you, you led me on?" He interrupted, and I shut my mouth, waiting for him to calm down. The once serene atmosphere was now tense, full of hurt radiating off Jazz.
"Back in England..." I repeated. "I went to a party. I made out with this guy, when I was drunk. I thought he was good looking. The night I came here, he came to my house without permission and we kissed." Jazz scoffed. "Let me finish. I wouldn't go any further and made him leave. Happy?" Jazz looked down at his feet.
"No. Why didn't you tell me?" His eyes were pleading with me.
"Because he isn't important in my life. We've known each other like for a few days. I don't even know him." Jazz shook his head incredulously, putting a hand to his head, as if he was ready to bolt. "Jazz- don't!" Too late. He grabbed the shirt that was on the counter and made a run for it. I choked back a sob as he slammed the door shut. "Jazz." I ran out of the room. "JAZZ!" I screamed, clutching my shirt. I ran back inside to find my jeans. I did a quick skinny jeans dance, not even bothering to button them up, and I ran forward. It happened in slow motion...the phone cable was slightly looped above the carpet, disguised by the colour of the material. My foot just happened to coincidentally slip inside that loop, and I tripped, knocking my head on the wardrobe door and then the floor.
...
"Bella. Bella wake up." I slowly opened my eyes, looking into the dark eyes of Bree. My eyes focused, and I sat up, getting head rush. I winced.
"Ouch, my head." I groaned. "What happened?"
"You tripped on the phone cable." She nodded to the hotel phone.
"Does anyone know?" I wondered out loud, and Bree shook her head.
"I found you here just. Nobody knows."
"Don't tell them." I muttered, and Bree nodded. "I don't want them to worry about me."
"We should get you checked out by our doctor, you may have a head concussion. That looks like a nasty bump." She pressed her hand into the swollen part of my head, and I yelled in pain.
"OW! I'll wear a hat to not cause suspicion." Bree nodded and helped me untangle myself and stand up. I went to my room with her to fetch a hat, and she led me to the lounge where everyone was.
"I'll fetch the Doc." I nodded once and went through the door. Rose noticed me enter and wave me forward, giving me a hug.
She whispered in my ear. "You okay? Jazz seems pretty pissed." I nodded and took the seat next to her. Jazz was standing next to the window with Edward, and I saw the tense jaw, but faint movement of lips. I watched Jazz as he nodded and looked down into his drink, and he seemed to sigh, his jaw loosening. Edward was speaking, and Jazz turned and glanced around the room. His eyes met mine, and they looked like they had softened slightly, then went sold once again. I pouted and turned to Alice describing something I hadn't heard the beginning of. I noticed from my perspective that Edward and Jazz took a seat next to Emmett, who was next to Alice.
"...and then Seth was like 'holy shit!' and he jumped 10 feet into the air! It was hilarious! Seth can jump high!" Alice grinned, and gave me a cautious glance. "Hey Bella, you alright? You don't look great." I shook my head.
"I-I'm fine." I quickly caught a glimpse at Jazz and Edward, who were both frowning slightly. I heard a throat clear, and Bree motioned for me to come with her. I looked back at Jazz, who had curiosity in his eyes, but no worry. I sighed and went to Bree.
"Doc will see you now." She smiled and led me through a door. Seth was outside, and two of his fingers were strapped together. He smirked ad gave a odd wave with that hand as I passed.
"Hey." He mumbled.
"Hey. What happened to you?" I smirked. Seth laughed lightly and analysed his bandage.
"Oh, nothing, just messing around with the boys. It won't last long. What are you doing here?"
"Um...just getting a check up..." He nodded slowly, and winked.
"Of course." I knew he didn't believe me.
"Don't tell anyone." I warned.
"Won't tell a soul." He raised his hands up in front of him, and I smiled.
"So, Alice said about something funny you did." He grinned.
"Oh yeah? What was that?" I shrugged.
"Go find out for yourself." He went off and I went into the room, where 'Doc' was.
"Hello Bella. I'm Carlisle." I shook his hand. "What can I do for you today?"
I looked down. "I tripped and hit my head. Bree said it was best if I got checked out..." Carlisle nodded and looked into my eyes with a light, then softly pressed the distinct bump on my head that popped out like anything. He hummed as I fiddled with my hat.
"Well I think your vitals are fine, but take some aspirin for the pain." I nodded and left. I saw Esme pass by me and went into Carlisle's 'office' and I went back to the lounge, putting my hat back on. Seth looked sheepish, and my eyes narrowed at him, just as Jazz jumped up in front of me.
"What were you doing with Carlisle? Why are you wearing a hat here?" He snatched it off, and took a step back. I groaned, covering my head and glared at Seth.
"What happened to not telling anybody?"
"It slipped out!"
"And how did it slip out?"
"Well I asked Alice, and said you mentioned it, and she said I was just at Carlisle's to fix up my finger, so they put the pieces together! Don't hurt me!" I groaned and made a dash out of the room.
"Bella!" I didn't want to hear from Jazz. Not now. He caused this bump. I took the elevator to my floor and ran into my room. I heard the pounding on the door just a few seconds after I had slammed it.
"Bella! Come on! Let me in? I'm sorry for freaking out earlier!" I ignored him, sliding down to the wall as I listened to his pants. "Bella." He breathed heavily. "It hurt so much to see that mark on you. I really like you and I wanted to spend this day with you. But not like this, no." He sighed and must have sat down, as his voice was lower, physically. "Bella. Please let me in. I can't..." He paused. "Bella?"
I sniffled, and wiped away the tears that ran down my cheeks. "Bella, are you crying? Why did you go to Doc's? How did you get that bump? Bella, please don't cry." I wiped my eyes and stood up, hand hovering above the door knob. I then walked at a quick pace to my bed, and tokk off my trousers, jumping in. I sobbed until I was tired enough to fall asleep. Why was I like this? The rejection from Jazz still stung from earlier like a bite. His hard eyes- he hated me in that moment. I couldn't bear to think about it. But then Jazz begged for my forgiveness...he ran for me...he worried about me...he said he really likes me. Not just like, but really likes. Too late to turn back, as the next thing I knew It was darker. I must have fallen asleep. Where was Jazz? I took a shower and got into a summer dress, and put on my flats. I slowly opened the door, and there was a note on the floor, titled 'Bella'. I picked it up cautiously and found myself tearing open the envelope, reading it greedily.
Bella,
I sincerely apologise for my behaviour today. I felt as if I knew you longer, and found out you had been cheating on me. It hurt so much, and I completely ignored your feelings at hand when I stormed out. Edward helped. He convinced me to see your side and if I was in your position. I owe a lot to him. He's saved my ass multiple times, and he's my best friend. And I really, really do like you Bella, and if you can find it in you beating heart to forgive me, then would you please be my girlfriend?
I await your reply, Jazz 3 :) xxx
I didn't have to think twice. First I ran to the main group spots to see if he was there. Secondly I went to his bedroom, and knocked on the door, waiting. Thirdly he opened the door, amazed to see me standing there. And finally, our lips crashed together in a frenzy of mixed feelings, as I pushed him backward, kicking the door shut. He gasped and removed my sun dress in a blur as I attacked his neck. He ran his hands all over my body, freeing me of my bra and I popped open his jeans button and pulled down his fly, as we fell onto the bed in a haze full of lust and emotion...
...
I woke up to an alarm buzzing in my ear. I groaned at slammed my hand on it. The time said 5am! What? I couldn't figure out how to turn it off, and so Jazz rolled on top of me, and pushed the apparent snooze button. I gazed at the beautiful man that was Jazz Whitlock. How did I manage to find a guy like him? He smirked at me and pecked my lips sweetly.
"Hi." I whispered, and his smile widened a he caught my lips again in another kiss.
"Hello. Nice sleep?" I nodded.
"Until the alarm woke me up." I mumbled as I rubbed the back of his leg with my foot.
"You're beautiful." He whispered, dipping down to kiss my neck and shoulder. I wrapped my legs around him, linking my feet together, and Jazz groaned.
"I'd love to...but we have to get down for brekkie in 10." He pushed off the bed and walked around the corner to the bathroom. I sighed and sat up, finding my underwear thrown across the floor. I put them on, knowing I'd go back to my room to get dressed. I put on my dress and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Jazz? I'm gonna go back to mine- get changed. Have a shower, you know." Jazz gave me puppy dog eyes, but the toothbrush in his mouth didn't help his case. I grinned and stroked his cheek softly, then left the room quietly. I had a quick shower and got changed, and tied my hair up to dry itself, then went downstairs to the bright function room to eat brekkie. Jazz saved me a seat and took my hand immediately, kissing me softly on the lips as I sat down with my plate. I noticed eyes on my face but I didn't make eye contact with any of them, and pretended like it was normal as I ate my food.
"So...where do we go for training?" I asked to anyone in general. "Does anyone know what I'm playing yet?" I picked on my bacon, and Jazz softly cleared his throat.
"Bella. You need to eat more if we're gonna be training all day." My eyes widened. All day? Seriously?
"Er...we're going to this place in the city. And no-one knows about your role. I'm guessing it'll be Jazz's. Ahem. Mate." I looked up at Edward, and he awkwardly sent me a smile.
"Oh, that's cool." I mumbled under my breath.
We finished breakfast and in half an hour our car would take us to the centre which we would go to almost everyday to get back into shape for the upcoming film. Jazz held my hand as we walked back to his room.
"We have half an hour." He smirked at me. He didn't need to say anything before I kissed his lips fiercely...
...
"We're all going on a, summer holiday. No more working for a, week or two!" Emmett sung to the radio, which was playing a kids cassette. He waved his arms in the air, and soon we were all joining in, having a right blast. I giggled as the song switched and Barney played through the speakers and Emmett yelled in happiness.
"I LOVE YOU! YOU LOVE ME!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.
"We're a happy family." I sung along awkwardly, thinking he was mad. "With a great big hug." We all did dramatic hugs with one another. "And a kiss from me to you." We pecked each other on the cheeks. "Won't you say you love me too!"
"WE LOVE YOU!" We all boomed, throwing our hands in the air with jazz hands. Jazz wrapped me in a huge hug and smiled against my skin widely, and I put my hand on his cheek, grinning.
"Mmm I loved Barney as a kid." I laughed, cuddling closer to him.
"You don't anymore?"
"I still do. I wish they put it on TV again."
"Same Bella, same." he shut he eyes and squeezed me tightly. "I'm so glad I've found you."
"Or was I the one to find you? Since I'm still meant to be in England..."
"Oh right, how did you get from England to here?"
"It's...difficult to explain."
"Oh yeah? Try me."
I paused. He'll think I'm mad. "Didn't anyone tell you? I think everyone knew what I said."
He shrugged. "I know. But I want to hear it from you."
I pulled back slightly. "I don't know how it happened. One moment I was at home the next in Edward's room. I can't put it into any more detail than that really." I knew he wanted to hear it again. I recall him talking to me on the balcony. Sure he knew, but it was still mesmerising to be in Canada, not back home.
"We're here!" Alice screeched and clapped her hands in glee. We all filed out of the car and Jazz took my hand once again.
"I trust you, Bella." Those few words made my eyes brim with tears, but I forced them back.
"I-I trust you too Jazz." I whispered, and he smiled down at me.
We were led into a large room, enough to fit a wedding ceremony of a few hundred. There was everything! A gym to the side, a boxing ring, mats laid out in a square for anything, and also two trainers to kick start everything off.
"Morning Actors!" A woman clapped her hands to get our attention. "My name is Chelsea, and this douche bag is Alec." Alec smirked and laughed.
"Good mornin'" He waved once, and I snickered. "So, who is the new girl?" Jazz squeezed my hand, and I cleared my throat.
"I'm Bella." I waved with my other hand. Alec looked me up and down and I felt myself blush slightly. We were told to wear stuff we'd wear when jogging, so Alice got me something good. I wore this strappy grey top and baggy shorts and leggings. Alice told me Jazz would love me wearing it, and it showed. Jazz slapped my ass as I went off with Alice, and I smirked, giving Alice a high five.
"It totally worked! Jazz is so checking you out, especially your ass!" Alice giggled and we got into a circle with the whole group. I looked at Jazz from across the circle, and he gave me a smug smirk and tilted his head up slightly. Alec called out to the group.
"OK, we did this last year, and we have some new faces, so we're just going to refresh ourselves with every ones names, yeah?"
We said each others names, and then we did some stretches before heading off to do a bit of excercise. I headed over to the bikes with Alice, and we pedalled until we were exhausted. Alec came over to the two of us and encouraged us to keep on pedalling.
"By the end of the month it'll be all worth it." I huffed as I started again, gulping down another mouthful of water.
"So we'll be here for a whole month?" I groaned, and hung my head as I pushed. I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"It'll be worth it. Believe me." Alec walked off and I slowed down.
"That's just Alec. I remember last time he was all over Rose, before she started dating Emmett. And boy did he want to stay away from Emmett once he claimed Rose." She huffed and pedalled a bit more.
"Well I'm with Jazz, so that's OK. Sorry Alice. Guess you're his target now." She smirked.
"I can handle myself babe." she took another gulp of water.
"I'm sure you can." I laughed weakly.
We then went to run on the treadmill for about 10 minutes, and then did some weights as we took a break. It was noon by now, and we were going to get some energy food. Jazz walked up to us, eating a protein bar.
"Hey." He sat down on the floor opposite us, and I grinned in response.
"Hey Jazz, what you got there?"
He shrugged and glanced at his bar, taking another bite. "Protein bar. Good for boosting your muscles." I nodded, and put the weight back where it came from.
"Come on, let's go get something to eat." Alie followed us and we headed past our trainers. Alec was in conversation with Chelsea, so I didn't say goodbye to them.
We went to this cafe that was in the centre, and took a seat with Rose, Em and Jake.
"Hey Jazz, can I talk with you...in private?" Em stood up, and Edward took his seat and smirked.
"He won't be getting that back." Rose slapped the back of his head, and he cringed. "OW! Hey!"
"Sorry, I have to hit someone." Rose shrugged, and I laughed.
"Wonder what they're talking about." I mumbled, and Edward coughed.
"I don't know." He said under his breath. Rose looked around awkwardly, and I narrowed my eyes.
"What is it?"
"Well...we wanted Jazz to protect...Alice if Alec starts to try make a move on her. We remember Alec, and we're wondering why he hasn't been fired yet. We had complain, but Alec told us it was in our heads. And Alice is the only single one here out of us girls. We worried about you, honey. "I looked at Alice.
"I will too." I declared. "My lil A can handle herself though." I added when Alice glared at me. Jazz came back and put an arm around me, and Em stood next to Edward.
"Here, Edward, I'll sit on your lap." Edwards happily got up and sat in Alice's chair, and Alice sat on him. I thought to myself, did they know they were like this? Were they just friends, or hiding their feelings away?
"What's on the menu?" I asked, reaching for the laminated paper in Rose's hands. She handed it to me, and I chose for a simple chicken, bacon and sweetcorn half baguette. Yum. We ate, and then took a few minutes extra break, just chatting, and then we went back to the training. I passed by Chelsea and smiled genuinely at her.
"Nice lunch?" She smiled at me.
"Yeah. Yum yum." I giggled and Jazz beamed at me, spinning me in a circle and I walked off to do some things on the mat. I stretched my muscles and bent down to touch my toes. I groaned, not being able to reach down far enough. Alice laughed at me.
"Hey! Be supportive! Help me?" Alice shook her head.
"This one is all you." Alice laughed, and went to do some sit ups on the next mat. I saw Alec through the mirrors come over.
"Hey ladies...Bella, do you want some help?" I looked over to Jazz, who Chelsea was talking to next to the rowing machine, counting how many strokes he did. I nodded, and he parted my legs with his foot. "If you're trying to be more flexible, try separating your legs first, then inch your legs closer together as your muscles get used to it. He told me to bend down, and took a step back, pushing a hand on my back until my fingers touched the ground. "See?" He moved his hand to my hips, and moved my legs closer together until I felt the pull of my muscles. Alec inched his hand closer to my ass.
"Alec." I bent my legs and stood up, turning to face him.
"What?" He replied. "Don't you want to be flexible?"
"I think i'll be more comfortable having Chelsea help me, if you don't mind." Alec took a step forward and leaned into my ear.
"Why is that then?" He whispered. I put a hand on his chest to push him off me.
"Leave, Alec." I heard Alice threaten. "Or we'll get your ass fired." Alec laughed.
"Your bosses hired me for a reason. Remember that." Suddenly a hand connected to his jaw, and he was shoved backward. I screamed, and everyone turned to look at us. I fell backward, and saw Jazz standing above me.
"Get the hell of my girlfriend, you pervert." He spat, and Alec smirked. I saw from the corner of my eye one of the guys from our company standing at the entrance to the hall. I wondered why they hadn't intervened yet.
"What are you going to do about it?" He stood up and confronted Jazz.
"Jazz. Don't." I begged, and Jazz shook his head.
"No. I need to put this guy in his fucking place." He gave Alec a shove, and Alec regained his confidence, dodging his next attack.
"Go on then, save your little innocent girlfriend. I bet she's a good fuck, isn't she?" Jazz lunged for him, and knocked him to the ground. I was in shock. I looked to find Emmett or Edward for assistance.
"JAZZ!" I yelled, grabbing Alice's hand to pull me up. "We have to stop this, Alice!" We went up to the guys throwing punches at each other, and I grabbed onto Jazz to pull him off of Alec. Alice helped. "Jazz get up. He's not worth it." Jazz had taken one hit from Alec, and it was starting to swell on his cheekbone. He threw another hit at Alec, ignoring me. "Jazz, please." He sighed loudly and stood up, kicking Alec. Jazz then grabbed me and pulled me into a hug.
"I'm so sorry Bella! He was just all over you. I couldn't handle it." he choked, and I sniffled. Chelsea sighed and shouted.
"You see that? God, it's so difficult for Alec, trying to be subtle about this stuff." We turned to look at her incredulously.
"What? Your partner-"
"-We were paid to be your trainers, but we wanted to test the best of you to see you react to a psycho. Bella. You're the new one. Last year, we tested the ones we expected would get the most attention, Rose and Emmett. This year, we were planning on testing Alice and Edward, but then you arrived, and we couldn't help ourselves." What?
"I'm not following you." I admitted.
"We wanted to test how well you can defend yourselves. Alec was basically trying to be a dick to see if you'd let it go, or whatever. He gets paid more to take the hits." She shrugged. "And obviously you couldn't take care of yourself. What will be next? A proper psycho? You can't rely on your bodyguard, your boyfriend. You need to be confident that you can take on the unexpected, and make it out alive. We had to worry about the main cast. Sure, we could worry about the main stars, Edward and Alice, but we know they can handle themselves. I mean, have you seen that video of Alice at the shoe shop? She took on two crazed bitches for that pair of heels." I turned to Alice, who covered her mouth, which was a bright smile. "And Edward- well our bosses told us that he could fight anyone." I looked over to Edward, who had stiffened, and his jaw was tense. How do they know that? What was Edwards past? "So we looked into you and Jasper. Jasper had a history of being in the baseball team, and did a small amount of boxing...but you, you need to get a move on. Train up. Because in the real world, it is tough, and they will kill you." Jazz froze at my side, and I leaned into him. "You're not back in England now. You're going to be a celebrity, and have you seen what these people have to deal with? We have to train even the smallest characters, since Vampire is such a huge film".
Silence filled the air, and Alec got up, wiping a bit of blood on his shirt.
"I can tell you box." Jazz growled deep in his throat at Alec, and Alec put his hands up. "Woah woah, it's my job. Do you think I want the repetition of a perv? No thank you."
"So...this was all a set up?" Alice asked, carefully looking between our trainers. They nodded, and Alice frowned. "So was there any point in doing it the second year, after the films release?" They both shrugged.
"It's part of the job."
"Right...and you don't mind checking us out at all, Alec?"
"Can you blame me? I am a guy after all. Just not the psycho kind." I tugged on Jazz's arm.
"Let me see the damage." Jazz breathed out loudly, and bent down so I could check his face, wincing when I pressed into a soon to be dark bruise. "Don't you ever do that again."
"But-"
"-NO! I don't want you to be hurt."
"Would you rather I let you be tormented by a stranger?"
"I'm going to be training, and I will learn how to defend myself without the protection of you." I loosed my grip on his arm and turned around to see most people back into their workout.
Jazz scoffed. "You caused your own bump on the head. You'll need a lot of training." Ouch. I shoved him back and stormed off to the cafe. I needed a drink. The screaming did it for me. I sat down and fidgeted with the ice cream I had gotten with that. I heard the seat next to me be pulled out before I saw Jazz inch his chair to mine.
It was silent for a few minutes, besides me slurping on my drink and chewing on the icecream.
Jazz broke the silence. "Look...I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't mean for it to come out like that..."
"What did you mean for it to come out as then?" I put him on the spot.
"I wasn't thinking straight when I had said it-"
"-it's not that that I am upset about."
"...oh!" He muttered. "What is it then?"
It was silent for another minute. "I can't bear to see you in pain. Or fighting. You should have seen it from my angle...you looked...threatening a-a-and dangerous." He looked like a skilled fighter, tearing Alec up, throwing punches at his face. I hadn't seen Jazz like that before. It was like Alec brought out his offensive side. It scared me. Could I handle that? Jazz wrapped his arms around me, and I leaned into him. His cuddle was soft, loving, and I knew that anger wasn't the real him. I imagined him like his character, and I could see why they chose him. His character was a fighter, and was protective of his family.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted you away from that guy. Why is that part of the job?" He sighed and rested his head on mine. "He looked at you...so like...I'm not sure...like a controller...like...I don't know..." He squeezed me, and inched his face closer to mine, and I let him kiss me quickly. I suddenly wanted more, as if this brought me closer to him, I intensified the kiss, pulling him to me. "Oh god, Bella." He groaned. "Bella..." He sighed. "Not here. Theres workers here." He mumbled, and I glanced at the waiter, who was trying to not look, but failing miserably.
"Ok..." I whispered, pulling him up from his chair to take me back to the centre. "Later, yes?"
Jazz laughed, and whispered in my ear. "Yes."
