Chapter 9 - Sweet Dreams & Sour Mornings

A/N - Hey! I'm so sorry it's taken so long to upload! I've been really busy lately! Who went to see Breaking Dawn and how many times? It was amazing! I went opening night, I just couldn't wait a second longer hehe!

I hope you all had a very good Christmas too! - Enjoy this chapter!

I couldn't believe I just kissed Bella, I was shocked at my courage to even kiss her and her reaction.. I felt her body melt into mine.. She returned the kiss.. It was perfect. Never have I felt a kiss like THAT. I thought I would regret kissing her that soon.. But why would I ever regret a kiss that good.

After I said goodnight, I had started walking back for a good 15 minutes, I was passing the party when I bumped into Tanya who looked like she had drank a few too many.. She stumbled over to me, her mumbles slurred. I could barely hear her over the blaring music.

"Ed..ward, will you take me back to mine? I don't feel good" I knew if I took her back to her house she would start begging me to stay with her, but I didn't want to leave her in this state, God knows what could happen. I spotted Emmett walking away with Rosalie, maybe he could take her home?

"Emmett!" I shouted, when he looked up, I ran over to him, hearing Tanya's stumble/run behind me. "Hi Rosalie" She smiled at me.

"Sup bro?"

"Could you please walk Tanya back to hers? I really don't want to take her back again, not after last time" I begged.

"Is Tanya that really drunken slut over there?" Rosalie nudged her head in Tanya's direction.

"Yeah.. perfect description babe" Emmett said, kissing her nose. "And yeah bro, 'course I will, I know what trouble she can be for you"

"Thanks Em, I owe you. By the way, the key for the house is under the mat. See you later Rose"

"By the way, I seen Jasper heading back to the house earlier on, so no need to worry about him" Emmett said, good job he told me.. I didn't even see Jasper leave. I was too absorbed in Bella.

I sneaked off so Tanya wouldn't see me and headed home as fast as I could. I checked my watch as I reached the front door and it was nearly 2am. I quietly got myself in, being careful not to wake my parents and Jasper and changed into my pyjama shorts and got into bed. I kept thinking about that kiss. I touched my bottom lip, I missed Bella's lips on mine. I hoped we could talk tomorrow and see what was next for us. I wanted to be her boyfriend, to be hers and hers only. I wanted to get her number. I set my alarm for 8am, got into bed and fell asleep, having sweet dreams of Bella.

I woke up a few hours later to the loud ring and vibration of my alarm. I didn't want to get up, my bed was too comfortable but then I remembered I was going to pick Bella up at 10. I didn't know what to do.. I wanted to have a casual day at the beach with her, but since that kiss.. I knew I wouldn't be able to act casual with her any longer. I jumped out of bed and got into the shower. After I got out, I decided to quickly towel dry my hair, leaving it a bit messy but mostly neat. I got changed into dark blue top and some light jean shorts and headed downstairs, finding my mom and dad sitting around the breakfast bar. My dad was reading the newspaper and my mom was reading Wuthering Heights.

"Morning son" my dad said, lifting his head up from the newspaper.

"Edward! How's Emmett? Is he still sleeping? I still haven't seen him! I didn't even hear you boys come in last night" My mom asked.

"Mom calm down. He didn't get in till god knows what time and its only half 8. He doesn't get up till at least 11am. I'll wake him up now yeah?" I offered. Dragging Emmett out of bed this early would be a pleasure.

"Okay, thanks sweetheart. I'll make a start on breakfast. Go wake Jasper up also, Ok?"

"Yeah, be right back" I ran up the stairs and ran to Jaspers room, knocked on the door and walked in, but he wasn't in bed.. I heard strange noises coming from his en-suite and I ran in to find him violently throwing up into the toilet.

"Jaz! Are you ok? Whats wrong?" I began to panic, he was my little brother, why wouldn't I.

"Please.. Don't.. Tell" He began to throw up again. "Mom and Dad"

I rubbed his back. "I wont, but I'm gonna go get Emmett, Stay here"

I quickly ran to Emmett's room and burst in, throwing back his covers and shaking him.

"Em, wake up, Jaspers sick but he doesn't want mom or dad to know" He just moaned at me. "Em! He's throwing up and everything come on!" I grabbed his legs and yanked him out of bed as he fell onto the floor on his stomach.

"Ouch! What the..? Thanks bro, I appreciated that" He shot me a glare as he stood up.

"Boys, what was that bang?" called mom, from downstairs.

"Nothing" I replied. "Emmett fell out of bed" I heard them both laugh.

"More like yanked" he mumbled. "Now, what the hell did you get me out of bed for?"

"Its Jasper, he's being sick. I don't know whats wrong with him, but he doesn't want me to tell mom or dad" I told him, he was showing no emotion in his face.

He groaned and ran into Jaspers en-suite, where we found Jasper sitting on the floor, his head resting on the toilet seat.

"Ew Jaz, you're a mess" Emmett moaned and sat Jasper up against the bath and flushed the toilet. My brother was so caring.

"Whats wrong with him?" I asked, still worried for my brother.

"My head is killing me" Jasper moaned as he crawled to the toilet and start being sick again.

"That explains it. He's got a hangover." Emmett said calmly.

"What! Jasper, you were drinking last night? You only just turned seventeen!" I flipped. Seventeen.

"Edward, chill out. Mom and Dad will hear you and look, it was one time, right Jaz?" Emmett asked, seeming a lot more awake.

"This is my first time.. Getting drunk.." He threw up again, then rested is against against the toilet seat again.

I filled the glass that was on the sink with cold water and made Jasper take a sip and put it by his arm that was holding him up.

"I don't want to see you this drunk again Jasper. Not for enough 4 years, Ok? This is out of order. I didn't even see you all night, drinking at seventeen and you weren't even being watched. Jasper, I thought you were more smarter than that. Anything could of happened" I said, Jasper was a clever kid, but being drunk can leave you very vunerable and not knowing whats going on.

"Ok, I think Jasper understand now Bro, k?" Emmett huffed and sat on the edge of the bathtub. "We need to figure out how we can get him downstairs without throwing up in front of mom and dad. Something tells me they wont like seeing Jasper hungover"

"Just tell them the truth" Jasper said, rising from the toiler and sitting up against the wall.

"Really Jaz? They will go bazurk!" Emmett warned, he was right.

"I don't want to lie to them. Dad's a doctor, he'd see that it's a hangover surely?" He mumbled, his head drooping. "Besides, mom will baby me all day until I feel better"

"You sure Jaz?" I asked.

"Yeah, let me clean up and I'll come down." He said, standing up, still holding onto everything he can get support from.

I huffed and went to walk out of the room. "Ok, see you in a while Jaz, feel better, just please, don't. do. It. Again."

"Trust me, I wont" He breathed.

I chuckled and headed downstairs, finding breakfast and my parents already at the table. Pancakes and fresh blueberries and syrup, yum. Emmett followed me not long after I sat down at the table, my mom gasped and ran to him.

"EMMETT! I've missed you so much! I'm so glad you stayed tonight! I made your favourite breakfast! How have you been? I hope you've been behaving yourself! If you haven't, you know what I'll do." She hugged him tight then pulled back, giving him a very concerned, serious look.

We all chuckled at mom. "Mom, chill. I'm fine. I'm great actually!" He responded with a great big grin on his face and walked to the table, sitting between my father and myself. Mom joined us and sat next to my father, leaving a seat for Jasper between us.

"Um, sweeties, wheres Jasper?" Mom asked, she looked confused.

"He was still in bed, he's just got to clean himself up and he'll be down." I said, not too quick, but quick enough.

"Oh, good" She smiled.

"So, whats got you so great then Son?" My dad asked Emmett, raising an eyebrow then winking.

I knew exactly why he was so 'great'. I knew exactly why he had a huge goofy grin on his face right now. Rosalie.

"I'm just really good right now. I've got a great family, great friends, hosted a great party last night.." He trailed off, taking a bite of one of many pancakes on his plate.

"Don't forget meeting new people.." I said, pouring myself a cup of orange juice out of the jug in the middle of the table. Mentally laughing to myself.

Emmett sent me daggers. Revenge is sweeeeet!

"What does he mean by that Son? Have you met a lady friend?" My mom asked, her eyes widened and a soft smile falling upon her face. Emmett blushed immediately. "She must be a very lucky girl!"

"…and blonde Son?" My dad asked, raising an eyebrow again.

Emmett smiled widely. "Yeah, she is. But that's not what I like about her. She's amazing. I really like this girl" He smiled wider, if that was possible. "Infact, I asked her to be my girlfriend last night and she accepted"

I almost choked. "What? Woah bro, congrats!" I fist pumped him and we all laughed as Jasper came and joined us at the table.

Mom raised her eyebrows when Jasper pushed away his plate and took a sip from the ice water he just fetched himself.

"Jasper? You okay sweetie? You don't look too good." Mom asked, all signs of concern showing on her delicate face.

"Not really mom" He said and took a deep breath. "Truth is.. Last night at the party, I drank. As it was my first time drinking, it got to me more than it should of. I never drank any water got home either, like you always tell Emmett and Edward. I'm sorry that I let you down. I know I'm only seventeen, but I've already been scolded by Edward. No need to worry. I know not to do it again" He said, his head drooping. Poor Jasper, he looked so worried, as if our parents were going to disown him.

"Aw sweetie!" My mom got up and ran over to him and hugged him. "Its okay dear, you look so ill!"

"Your not mad at me?" Jasper asked, confusing showing on his face.

"Well, I am a little mad. Your only seventeen. But, I'm your mother, im supposed to look after you. Go upstairs, get back into bed and I'll bring up some dry toast"

Jasper got up and headed upstairs, we all said our "see you later"'s and "get better soon"'s. I looked at the time and it was already half nine. I told everyone I was going to meet Bella and headed out to get her from her house. I was more excited than nervous. I just had to wish myself good luck.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!

I'll see you next year! ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
