Chapter 4:
BPOV:
Alice was going to die. She had the worst possible timing. I stomped angrily into the house. I looked all over for that short little moment ruiner. Finally I found her sitting at the top of the staircase. She looked upset, and all my anger went out the window. I climbed the stairs and plopped down next to her.
"Whats wrong Alice?" She just shook her head slightly, tears streaming down her face. I was even more confused. What happened to make her cry? I put my arm around her to comfort her. She turned into me and just kept crying. I put my left around her too, and rubbed her back. I saw Jasper walk in and glance around the party before he spotted us sitting on the stairs. He looked at me his eyes asking, 'what happened?'. I just shrugged my shoulders to show I didn't have a clue.
Jasper came up the stairs to us. He crouched down to look at Alice.
"Ali darlin' whats wrong?" She sniffed and buried her face even deeper into my shoulder. It was starting to hurt. Who knew someone so small could make you hurt so bad. I bit my lip and just looked at him worried. Was she upset because of us? He stood up quickly, shocking me so much I jumped. He pulled Alice from my arms and carried her towards a bedroom. I stood and watched him go.
"Bella, come on darlin'." I didn't need him to tell me twice. I walked after them to see if he couldn't get to the bottom of Alice's breakdown. We went into a large bedroom, that was over the top girly. I quickly realized this was either a guest room or his mom's room. The flowers were starting to annoy me. I was already buzzed. I was suprised I had walked up the stairs so gracefully. Then again, I had a goal.
"Alice," my words were already starting to slur. Shit, I didn't drink that much yet. "Whats wrong sweetie, tell us." I needed something to drink. I looked around but Jasper didn't bring anything upstairs with him. Damn. Would they think I was completely rude if I left quickly to find a drink. I bit my lower lip and tried to look for an escape. Man, I was a damn bitch. Alice had a problem and I was wanting to drink, and get even more drunk.
"Bella, just go." Alice startled us all. I turned to her, and she was staring at me with runny make up going everywhere. I shook my head. "It's alright. You don't know me, and I can forgive you for wanting to go downstairs and drink." I was at a lost for words, how the hell did she know I was wanting to do that. I knew my jaw was on the floor. I tried really hard to lift it, but it wanted to stay on the floor. Alice and Jasper laughed at me. That snapped me out of my stupor.
"How the hell did you know thats what I was thinking?"
"Alice is just like that. She always knows." That threw my for a loop.
"Alright you have my attention, but what was wrong?" She sighed and looked down at the bed she was sitting on. She started picking at the covers.
"I was jealous." At first I couldn't hear, she was talking so quietly. Jasper sat next to her. He took her hand and prodded her on.
"Why were you jealous darlin'?"
"I went to talk to Emmett, he completely ignored me. He was all over that slut Jessica. Why was he flirting and being kissy kissy with her? I thought he liked me damnit. So then when I went to find Bella to vent to her, I saw you guys kissing. It just hit me hard. I want that again. With someone. Anyone, well maybe not Newton, but you understand Jasper don't you?"
I felt like I was intruding on something very private. I looked at the ground, hoping to tune her out.
"I do darlin', but we had this conversation before. I'm trying my best to find someone, and maybe I have. I think you need to go down there and tell Emmett how you feel. Unless you rather I did it?"
"No thanks Jasper. I'm sorry for interrupting you guys. If I'd known I wouldnt have gone outside. I'm gonna go hunt down Em and talk to him. Maybe punch Jessica in the nose." She giggled at that, and jumped off the bed and went into the adjoining bathroom. I looked up at Jasper sitting there, he was staring back at me smiling. I couldn't help but smile back.
"Want to go do some more shots?" I bit my lower lip and nodded. He got up and I flew out of the room, racing him back to the kitchen. He caught me half way down the stairs.
He grabbed me around the waist and lifted me up. I was kicking and trying to get down. He threw me over his shoulder and walked slowly to the kitchen. I had a great view of his ass
this way. I reached down and smacked it quickly and started laughing. He chuckled and sat me down on the counter.
"Damn Newton, he finished off Jose. Are you cool with vodka? Oh wait, there is some patron left. You want that instead?"He was rummaging around the liquor cabinet. I thought about it and decided I didn't really care.
"Which has the most left in it?" I repeated it to myself to make sure it sounded ok, because everything was sounding funny to me now.
"Shockingly enough, the patron darlin'." I nodded to it then. I started to dance a little bit to the music in the background. It took me a minute to realize who it was. Then it dawned on me. They were playing Lady GaGa. I smiled, and took the shot glass from Jasper's hand. I clinked mine to his.
"Cheers." I threw the shot back. It burned all the way down. It was rough, not nearly as easy to shoot as Jose. "Ugh, thats awful." Jasper nodded at me, and poured us another.
"What are you doing? I thought we just agreed that it was bad?"
"One more, then we can have some more beers. Do you want to go swimming?" He handed me the next shot. I took it quickly, and it wasn't as bad, but it still burned.
"That sounds like fun. I don't have anything to swim in though." I looked down at my jeans and shirt. I noticed I was barefoot. Where did my shoes go? Oh hell, I'd worry about it tomorrow when I headed home.
"We can go in fully clothed, in our underwear or naked your choice." I bit my lip and then smiled big. I jumped down. and headed outside.
"Come on Jasper, lets go swimming." I called from the open doorway. He came out behind me wondering what I was going to do. I tried to remember what I had on beneath my clothes. I had on black boy cuts and a matching black bra. I pulled my shirt off and jumped into the deep end. I could feel Jasper joining me. I came to the top for air, and he was right there also.
His wet hair hung in his eyes, and he raised his right eyebrow at me. I swam to him and when I was about a foot away, I splashed him. Laughing I turned to swim away. He grabbed my ankle before I could get far and pulled me back to his body. He wrapped his arms around my back holding me there. I wrapped my legs around his waist and crossed my ankles. I leaned towards him, and he leaned in too. We were about to kiss when a splash interrupted us.
