I do NOT own Twilight or any of the characters
What the heck was Jasper doing here? Why is he showing up NOW? Where are the others? Questions buzzed through my mind at the speed of light as I looked, no, stared at him. He looked different then when I had seen him last. He didn't look so…stiff? It was more that he looked more natural. Last time I had seen him he had been wearing a freshly pressed shirt and slacks, most likely chosen by Alice, and hair tamed by a multitude of hair products. Now he looked…cowboy. He wore scuffed up, light brown cowboy boots and faded old jeans. The rest of what he wore was a white button-up shirt, rolled to his elbows and tucked in, and a Confederate flag belt buckle. All he needed was a cowboy hat and he would look exactly like a cowboy. Neither of us spoke, we were too busy taking each other in.
"Changed your look," I said. I stated the obvious, but hey, I haven't seen him in years and he just pops up out of nowhere.
"You too," he said looking at the jogging clothes, eyes pausing a little too long on my chest. I put my right hand in front of my bust and slowly moved it up, dragging his eyes up with it. I snapped in front of my face.
"My face is here, Cowboy," I notified him. He had the decency to look embarrassed. If he could have blushed I swear he would've. He quietly cleared his throat, not that he needed to just an ingrained reaction I guessed. "So what are you doing here, Jasper," I asked. Could you blame me, I was curious. He didn't answer, he just stood there. "Jasper," I questioned. I shook my hand in front of his face and he jolted back to reality.
"What? Sorry I spaced off for a second," he said.
"I said 'What are you doing here, Jasper'"
"Oh. Right. That might be something you'd want to know, considering I burst into your house and all." I nodded.
"Speaking of which, you need to repair the door. You did realize that you were going to have to do that when you busted the deadbolt, right?"
"Of course,"
"…so why ARE you here?"
"…Alice…" he hesitated. I felt the dread coming back. They all left when Edward left, both times, so why was anyone here. Why was Jasper acting like this? Why did I get that awful feeling of dread when he hesitated and THEN said Alice's name? Here comes a migraine. I pinched the bridge of my nose in an attempt to stop the pain, but I did not succeed in ridding myself of the pain. Jasper looked at me curiously, probably wondering at my odd behavior and erratic emotions. I shook my head to convey to him that it was nothing that he should be concerned about. I motioned for him to continue.
"She…SAW…something," he said. I waited for him to continue. A few moments passed and he still hadn't continued.
"She SAW what exactly," the dread was growing stronger and my heart was doing the nervous fluttery thing.
"" he speed-babbled.
