Sorry for the long time it took me to update. I'm using and C-map to organize the chapters though, so it might help me update quicker. Really am sorry. Here is a chapter to cheer you up, I hope. A good song for this Chapter is 'What I've done' Linkin Park. Enjoy!
Teddy Bear Bother
Edward Pov
The movie was getting excessively boring, but I continued watching anyway. Bella had fallen asleep with Jasper's head still in her lap. Her hand in his hair. I wonder what it would be like to have her hands in my hair, I thought. I realized that I was staring at them, and turned my head, only to meet Alice's gaze. Emmett and Rosalie had vacated the room not long ago.
"They look so cute don't they?" she asked me. I gave a noncommittal grunt and resumed watching the film. They did look adorable as a couple, I thought before the jealous monster within me reared its ugly head. You and Bella would make a cute couple you idiot!, it yelled. I shook my head as if that would disperse the horrible voice. Alice sighed beside me.
"You would never think anything had happened to either of them." I looked at her questioningly. She had said this without moving her eyes from the television screen. She turned suddenly to look at me a knowing look in her eyes.
"Jasper came here about when he was ten. His parents had both died in a horrible accident." I nodded. This information wasn't new to me. Jasper had told me as much.
"He didn't really like to play with the rest of us and would always say no when we asked him to play. Sometimes he would just sit in the corner of the room and cry. We understood that his parents had died, and they were all he had had in this world. When he was about 14, he started hurting himself. He would tell you when he has the occasion, but it was serious, he would cut himself, scratch, bite and even burn himself. He was admitted to the hospital on a number of occasions because he had done such damage to himself. When he turned 16, he started taking drugs. I won't go into detail here because it's none of my business. Then, when was 17, two years ago, he tried to kill himself."
I turned to look at Jasper, and saw how peaceful he looked. I was surprised that he had even contemplated suicide.
"He was thinking about committing suicide?" I enquired. Alice shook her head and looked even grimmer then she had been when she had started this sad tale.
"He was about to shoot himself when Bella entered the room. She looked at him and stayed calm. She walked towards him slowly and tried to take the gun. Jasper wouldn't let go. She sat down on the floor in front of him and asked him, 'Why?'. Simply, why. Tears started running down his face and he collapsed on the ground, whimpering, 'It's all my fault, they're gone and they've left me alone.'" I
looked down at my feet, then back at Jasper, wondering if his life had been so bad that he had wanted it to end. Emmett and Rosalie came back in at that moment making loud noise which woke both Jasper and Bella up. Jasper fell off the sofa muttering "where's the fire", while Bella glared at Emmett who had been making most of the noise.
"Hey guys! Now that we're all awake and here, who wants to play truth or dare?" Alice said happily. Everyone groaned or muttered their consent.
"Let's play teams! Whenever someone asks a question, both people in the team have to answer! Ok?!" We all got to choose our teams. Bella went with Jasper, Alice and I, Emmett and Rose.
"Ok, my team first! Rosie! Truth or dare?" Alice was at the prime of her game.
"Truth." Rosalie said shortly.
"Your lover has been magically transformed into an animal, and the only way to restore your lover is to mate with them. Here's the question: Which animal would cause you the least psychological damage?" Alice asked without pausing for breath.
Rosalie considered for a minute. "I'd say…a bear." Everyone looked stunned. Emmett smiled very wide and said loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear, "OH BOTHER!" We all looked at him questioningly.
"Hey, she said a bear. Winnie the Pooh is a bear!" We all shook our heads.
"Just answer the question." Alice was getting impatient.
"A lioness." Rosalie beamed at him and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
"Our turn now! Bella, Jasper, who was your first time?" They both looked at each other and said and answered at the same time.
"Bella." Jasper said.
"Jasper." Bella almost whispered.
Everyone looked at them in shock except for Alice, who was grinning.
"OK, OK. Enough of that. It's our turn now. Alice, Edward, Truth or dare?"
"Dare" they both said at the same time. Bella looked pensive while Alice looked scared.
"You have to…kiss everyone in the circle and say how good it was." I felt my body freeze as she finished, and Alice looked as though she would cry. Turned and kissed Alice before she knew what hit her. Then I passed to Rosalie and gave her a quick peck. I looked pleadingly at Bella and she grinned evilly.
"Yes, Edward, boys too." I frowned and closed my eyes. I leaned forwards, and kissed Emmett. It was the most disgusting thing I had ever had to do in my life. I got to Bella and kissed her quickly. She smiled at
me as I left to…kiss Jasper, oh lord save me now. Jasper grinned at me and I saw the scary glint in his eye. I kept crawling towards him, my eyes caught in his gaze like a bird and a snake. Buck up and just get it over with, my little voice told me. I leaned in and to my surprise Jasper leaned forwards to and met me half way! This was no innocent kiss trust me, but it wasn't all bad either. If I forgot it was a guy I was kissing, it would even have been good. I pulled away quickly, Jasper smiling smugly and Bella fanning herself.
"Wow! That was hot, wasn't it Rose?" She nodded, wide-eyed, in agreement. Alice went through it without much trouble. Soon enough, we all started yawning. We all started going up stairs. I was sharing with Emmett, Alice with Rose, and Bella with Jasper. I was slowly drifting into that deep abyss we call sleep when I heard Bella in the next room screaming Jasper's name, and gasping for breath.
"They're worse than me and Rose! Can't they do it at some other time?" Bella soon started screaming "stop Jasper!" very loud. Emmett got up and left the room with me following. We opened the door so slowly, almost slow motion. There, on Jasper's bed we saw…Jasper tickling Bella who looked as though she was going to wet herself any second. So that explains the screaming, I thought wryly.
I thought this chapter was a bit deeper than the rest of the chapters might be. Just so you know Jasper's life story is partly my life story except my parents divorced, not died. I never tried to kill myself but I did try to hurt myself and was often taken to the hospital to repair the damage I did to myself. My girlfriend helped me stop taking drugs later on before college.
