Jasmine sighed as she stared at the TV. Her head was resting on the floor and her feet in the air. It was thanks to the couch she was able to do this headstand, even if it hurt. Chester was surfing through the channels at a speed a snail could out race. Miguel was currently on the phone with his boss asking for Monday off. It was clear way he needed the day off with those dark raccoon like rings under his eyes.

"This hurts..." Jasmine voiced as the weight of her body was starting to become too much for her head to hold. Chester let out a snort at her statement.

"Then stop you lazy bag of-" His sentence was cut off by a loud bang from where Jasmine was doing her headstand. Chester looked over at her with his light brown eyes. Her feet were resting on the coffee table and her face was in the carpet. Her small hands rubbed the crown of her skull as a moan of pain escaped her lips. "That's what you get when you think you're flexible when in reality... you're not."

"Oh shut up! You're not that flexible either!" Jasmine said standing up and brushing her brother's sweats off. Chester started to laugh at her, just to rub insult to injury. Without warning the seventeen year old lunged at her bodyguard. He let out a cross between a startled and painful yelp with a panicked scream as the armchair flipped over with them.

"Jaz! What the hell!?"

"It's not funny!"

"What isn't- Ow! You bit me!"

"So!? I hurt myself and you laughed at me!"

"I'm sorry! Ow! Damn it Jaz! That's my hair!"

"What type of bodyguard are you?!"

"The type that doesn't like his hair pulled!"

"And laughs at the person he's meant to guard!"

"I said I'm sorry- Ow! That's my eye!"

"What is all the yelling about?!" Miguel shouted over Chester and Jasmine in order to be heard by the two. The spat between the two paused as they looked up at the eldest resident in the safe house. Chester was on his back with his arm in Jasmine's hands and it looked like she was about to bite him. Jasmine was lying across Chester 's stomach with her elbow close to his eye. Their hair was a wild mess and Chester 's free hand was tangled in Jasmine's hair trying to pull her off his arm. They both blinked, trying to look innocent and failing at it. There was a long, awkward pause before Miguel cleared his throat. Chester 's eyes widen then forcibly untied himself from the pile and fled into the safety of his room, not wanting to face Miguel's wrath at seeing him tangled up with his sister like that.

"Sorry about that." Jasmine said as she stood, laughing. Miguel shook his head as her.

"I think you two are going stir crazy. Get out of the house for a bit Jaz; it'll do you some good." He said as he walked over and kissed the top of her head. A serious look masked his face as he whispered to her, "But take your gun and be safe." Jasmine smiled up at her older brother.

"I will, thanks." She said pulling away then grabbing the Camaro keys. "Where's the Walther P99?" She asked wanting her specific gun by her side if she was going out alone.

"In the blue vase next to the door." Miguel said then watched as she walked over and pulled it out. He didn't like the idea of sending her out alone but right now he had to deal with Chester and the position he was in with his little sister.

"Te amas tú hermano." Jasmine said before slipping out with her green raincoat. Miguel smiled hearing her loving words before looking out of the corner of his grey eyes to see Chester trying to sneak out and away from punishment.

"Hold it." Miguel growled.


Jasmine smiled as Taylor Swift sang through the speakers. She shook her head at Chester 's hidden love. That boy was helplessly in love with the young singer and so far had every one of her CD's. As much as she hated to admit it but the girl was a good singer. Jasmine looked out the side window for a second as her hands tapped out the beats on the steering wheel. The rain had let up and surprisingly the golden sun was showing its face to Washington .

"God I've missed you Mister Sunshine." Jasmine said aloud, her skin already feeling better at the mere mention of sun. Jasmine thought she would lose her golden-brown skin without vitamin D soon. Just as You Belong with Me ended Jasmine slammed on her breaks, the sound of it screamed in her ears as the smell of burning rubber invaded her nose. Unbuckling, Jasmine forced the car door open to look at the sight before her. They were cliff diving. Seth, Embry, Quill, Jacob, Leah, and Casey were sending their god-like and goddess-like for Leah, bodies over the sharp rock and cold water below. Jasmine stood dumbfounded with her car door wide open on the road.

"Hey! Spain !" Casey yelled as he waved his arms to get her attention. The group turned to face her causing her cheeks to heat up. They had no idea on how embarrassed she was. Just randomly stopping on a back road to see what the hell they were doing with her mouth and car door open. Sheepishly she gave a small wave back.

"Charlie! Come on over!" Embry yelled just before leaping off the cliff after Leah. Jasmine knew it was Seth who left the group and came trotting over to her. His smile was large, warm and welcoming.

"What are you doing out here at-" He let his sentence hang as he noticed her firearm between the front two seats. "Why do you have a gun?" His voice was heavy with worry and she could feel his gaze on her. A shudder ran through her at the sight of his warm eyes gone suddenly cold.

"Um, no reason." Jasmine said as she shut the door with a little too much force. "What are you doing here jumping off cliffs?" Her voice grew a bit harsh and cold but it was the only way to keep Seth off her back about carrying a firearm. Seth's eyes narrowed before Casey's cheery voice came from behind him.

"Come on Seth! Don't keep Spain to yourself!" Casey said as he pushed his way between them. Jasmine heard Seth give off a low warning growl. What does he think he is? A wolf? Jasmine thought as Casey slung his arm around her shoulders and lead her to where the rest of their little pack was. She cast a look at Seth to see him glaring at the gun through the windows of the Chevy as if he was about to break in and take the gun away.

"Come on Seth, Casey, and Charlie!" Jacob yelled as he watched them slowly make their way over to the group.


Jasmine found herself smiling as they stood in the middle of the road, all of them laughing, except Leah. By now everyone but Jasmine was dry from swimming in the cold water of La Push. Jacob looked over his shoulder at the setting sun with a smile before looking at Leah.

"I promised Nessie I'd visit her tonight." He said then started walking away before turning to look at Jasmine. "Be careful going home. Even with a day of no rain the roads can be dangerous." A smile found its way onto her face at the worry he showed.

"I will."

"Casey, you have school so go home and get some rest." Jacob's words brought forth a whine from Casey but was hushed when Quill spoke up.

"We can head home together; I want to say good-night to Claire." Quill said before the two started to walk away. Leah snorted and muttered something under her breath before giving Jasmine a harsh glare.

"Get your sorry ass home, girl-"

"Leah!" Seth snapped.

"Embry and I'll take first runs," Leah continued still glaring at Jasmine. She felt so small under Leah's gaze. Embry rolled his storm colored eyes.

"Great, I have to run with the bitch." He said loud enough for Leah to hear. She whipped her head around and gave him such a look that Jasmine was sure it could have put them all six feet under. Embry chuckled then took off running, passing Leah who growled and raced after him.

"I'm sorry about Leah, Charlie." Seth said giving her a sad look. Jasmine smiled and stood on her toes to pat his shoulder.

"It's fine, but I think I should head home." Seth smiled then looked back at her car.

"Why do you have a gun?" He asked, dark chocolate eyes looking at her.

"I come from a tough area in Californa, so protection is needed. I just wanted to make sure I'd be safe even in La Push." Jasmine said, letting out a mental sigh as he nodded and a smile returned to his face. "I'll better head home. Be safe on your way back."

"You too." Seth said as he watched her enter the Chevy and drive away.
