Alright so after a long break of not updating (sorry about that), I finally got the chapter up that was the hardest to write. Again sorry about not updating, I have vacation coming up in 17 days-going to the Caribbean, and my mom is letting me bring a friend along, so I spent the whole week hanging with friends and deciding who I should pick-which was very tough-so I had my mind set on a few things. Oh and one more thing-I don't have my document for the first chapter so I can't fix it, keep in mind that Noah (Jasper's brother) is now age 9. Okay I hope you enjoy this chapter!
I WOKE WITH A START; Noah was jumping on my bed. I sat up and pushed him off roughly. "What do you think you're doing in here you little twerp?!" I screamed at him and threw my legs over the edge of my bed. I told him when we first moved in that he was not a loud to be in my room or else I would kill him. He was only a loud when I invited him in which is=never. He laughed like a little girl.
"Ma told me to wake you up. It's after 12." He exclaimed and left the room. My head spun to my digital clock on the desk next to my bed, why wasn't I in school? I yawned and got sweats on-didn't bother to put a shirt on-and let my hair fall flat against my forehead, covering my eyebrows-not bothering to curl it like usual. After I brushed my teeth, I walked downstairs to the kitchen. Anne was waiting at the table with the morning paper in her hand, and Noah was watching his stupid cartoons like always. I slumped over to the fridge; got the carton of milk out, and drank right from it, not bothering to get a cup, and ignoring the disgusted looks coming from Anne as she watched. I cleared my throat.
"So, mom, is school canceled or somthin'?" I asked, my southern accent slipping out a little bit. She handed me the paper and nodded.
"You made the front page." She said-obviously was referring to the car accident a couple days ago. I turned to the front and started to read:
CAR ACCIDENT AT FORKS HIGHSCHOOL BRINGS THREE STUDENTS TO HOSPITAL-On the day of April 13th a sliding van almost collided to two students standing in the parking lot. Teacher tells the details. "Well, the parking lot was filled with black ice from the rain. So when Tyler backed up, he lost control of the van." He says. He also confirms that the students Jasper Whitlock and Alice Cullen slid out of the way with minor injuries. "I didn't even know what was going on before I started to spin out of control!" Tyler says after he was pushed away to the hospital. Unfortunately Tyler had injuries from the impact of the two cars-his van door was also destroyed and was taken away to be repaired. Hopefully future accidents will be prevented.
SCHOOL CLOSED! Forks schools will be closed, as we are expecting dangerous thunderstorms and high risk of flooding. May flooding occur, school will be closed for the time being.
As I finished reading a loud crack of thunder filled the air. I sighed, this was no Houston, and hopefully Alice's family weren't mad at her-but I doubt it, they looked pretty mad when I spotted them. I looked over to Anne, handed her the paper. "Wow, I'm famous." I said sarcastically. She shrugged it off, and continued to read the paper. I sat down on the couch and snatched to remote out of Noah's hand.
"Hey!" Noah shouted over yet another boom of thunder. I smirked as I started to flip through the storm of channels.
"Hey! Shut up." I replied and threw a pillow at his head. He pouted and sat back in the chair, knowing that he would never win the little fight. I rolled my eyes at him and continued flipping. While I was flipping through channels and one with a cartoon came up, he would yell at me to keep it on, of course I always made fun of him and changed the channel. People would call it rude, but I call it: normal life with an annoying little brother.
After finding no channel to stay on, I walked over to the chair and held the remote above his head. "Want it?" he nodded and reached up, but I only brought it higher. "Reach for it then." I simply stated and he continued to stretch his arms up for it. After a while he stood up and started to jump, UN aware of the rocking chair underneath him. I laughed and walked away with the remote, stuffing it in my pocket.
THUD
I turned around to see little Noah face first on the floor. I stared at him for a minute before busting up laughing. Anne scolded me before going to go see if he was okay. I walked up to my room, grabbed my laptop off my desk and headed downstairs. "Jasper, I'm going to work, watch Noah please? And no fighting!" I let out a frustrated groan and nodded. Great now I had to watch the little twerp all day. When I heard the soft click of the door I walked into the living room, set my laptop on the ground next to the chair and glared at Noah.
"Go on, get to bed." I said. He looked up at me like I was crazy.
"But it's only 2 o clock." He said. I drew in a breath of frustration and picked him up but the armpits. I dragged him off the chair and placed him on his bed. I turned off all the lights, knowing he was scared of the dark, and shut the door. How I wished I had a little sister? One like my little cousin, Sarah, she was a handful when I babysat her, but she wasn't a pain like the twerp upstairs. I sighed when I heard his little voice from his room, and trudged downstairs to my laptop. The last thing I want is to have him ruin my day off. "JASPER!?!!?" he screamed, just as I sat down. I cursed under my breath before going up to his room.
"WHAT!" I screamed back. He looked at me for a minute.
"Can I go to friends?" he asked. Amazing, this kid was a little mature when he was calm.
"Who?"
"Taylor." He said. I nodded and took his jacket from his dresser and tossed it to him. He smiled at me and put on his tiny leather jacket.
"Meet me downstairs." I said and left him to put on his shoes. I was never good with kids, only Sarah.
*******************
After driving Noah to his friends, I spent an hour listening to music and talking to friends. A part of me though, longed to call Alice and invite her over. I thought about it; maybe I should, to get comfortable around her more, but maybe I shouldn't because maybe she wasn't ready…I went through those thoughts over and over again, until finally the doorbell rang. I dragged myself up from the comfort of the chair and opened the door. I didn't expect Alice to be there, and she looked a little bit annoyed. "Alice! Um, come on in." I said. She flashed a small smile before placing herself on the counter and turning to me. I leaned on the kitchen table facing her. "Is somthin the matter?" I asked after a while. She looked skeptical, but finally answered.
"No, everything is fine. You know, you could've just invited me over." She said. How'd she know…? Oh right, physic-so that means that she saw my decisions that I was making, over and over again. That's why she looked a little annoyed-it must've bothered her.
"I'm sorry ma'am." I said; my southern accent coming out again. She giggled, and her lips stretched to a large smile. "Well, what do we have planned for today?" I asked. She puckered her lips and her eyes glazed over-I not to panic this time and make a fool out of myself again. After a while she returned to the present.
"Well, there was something that I wanted to try." She said, hopping off of the counter and towards me. I straightened up and looked down at her questioningly. She stood on her toes so our faces were at the same height. Slowly she drew her face closer-I brought my face a little closer. "Be good." She lectured, and pressed her cold soft lips to mine gently. I responded to the kiss eagerly and let my hands fall to her waist, and she moved her tiny arms around my neck; our lips parted. After what seemed like forever, but was only a 5 seconds she leaned back smiling. I smiled back at her.
"Ha, I kissed a vampire, who gets to say that?" I joked. She laughed a little before sighing.
"That was, amazing." She commented and jumped back on the counter swiftly. My smile grew, not replying, but continued to stare at her. "What would you like to do now Jazz?" she asked curiously. Like she didn't know-I wanted to kiss her again and again, to hold her, and call her mine... She cleared her throat, interrupting my thoughts. "I technically am yours Jazz. Well now anyway." She said. I laughed slightly, so she must've seen all the things I was just imagining. Well if I gave her any gift, it would be extremely difficult to surprise her.
"I'm glad then." I replied. She smiled again. "Hmm, I have no idea what we could do." I told her after a while. She opened her mouth, and then closed it again. Then finally she suggested:
"My house," I raised my eyebrows. Was I really ready to meet her 'parents'? I gulped.
"Uh, they probably wouldn't like me." I said. She laughed.
"Are you kidding me? You're worried that they won't accept you, not that you'll be in a house full of vampires (A/N-I had to add that sorry! LOL)? Esme will love you, and you already met Carlisle-he likes you." She said, shaking her head, but smiling all the same. I chuckled.
"I bet the others hate me though." I said quietly. She pressed her lips into a tight line.
"Well, Rose and Emmett…um." She said uncomfortably.
"Okay then, let me get dressed first…" I said looking down at my bare torso. She nodded, eyeing me the whole time I ran upstairs. I made my way to my room quickly and searched my drawers for something presentable. Finally I found a blue button downed shirt, with elbow long sleeves and cuffs, and black jeans. I fixed my collar and moved to the bathroom to curl my hair like I usually kept it.
"Keeping it flat would be fine to you know!" Alice called from downstairs, followed by a small giggle. I decided to keep it that way, and I brushed my teeth again. After I was finished I ran downstairs to the door put my black boots on and slipped on my leather jacket. Alice met up with me by the door and linked her arm through mine. The driveway was empty-except for my car-and I looked at her questioningly.
"Where's your car? How did you get here?" I asked. Surely she couldn't have walked in this rain. She giggled again.
"I ran silly. It's faster, and Rose is fixing my car. Broke down last night." She explained. I nodded once.
"So how are we going to get there? We could use my car." I suggested. She shook her head.
"Running is faster." She told me, and picked me up (A/N-okay yeah I know it's a little weird, but I don't care, LOL. Anyway, I wasn't sure how she would pick him up so I just didn't put it.) "Better hold on." She said, and she started running towards the forest. Everything was flying by so fast it was a blur to me, and I thought we were going to run into a tree or something. Unexpectedly, she leaped over a huge bolder gracefully, barely holding on to me. I closed my eyes, getting nauseous of the flying trees around me, and suddenly she stopped. I opened my eyes and there stood a huge mansion-it must've taken us a good 3 seconds to get here, and I noticed that we were way out of Forks. She set me down on my feet and looked at me. "This is it." She said, and linked her arm through mine. We stood there for a while; she knew I wanted to get a better look at the house before anything.
The gloom of the forest didn't relent, though, for there were six cedars that shaded an entire acre with their vast sweep of branches. The trees held their protecting shadow right up to the walls of the house that rose among them, making obsolete the deep porch that wrapped around the first story. I didn't know what I expected, but it definitely wasn't this. The house was timeless, graceful, and probably a hundred years old. It was painted a soft, faded white, three stories high, rectangular and probably proportional. The windows and doors were either part of the original structure or a perfect restoration. There was no car in sight, and I could hear the river close by, hidden in the obscurity of the forest.
"Wow." I said.
"You like it?" She smiled.
"It's…wow."
She chuckled. "Ready?" she asked.
"Not really." I said, she chuckled again; I tried to laugh but meeting your girlfriend's parents had to be the toughest thing to do-especially if they're vampires. I ran a hand through my hair, thinking it looked like a pigs sty.
"You look fine" she reassured me, and grabbed my hand without thinking. Her cold touch almost made me flinch, but I kept still. We walked through the deep shade up to the porch. She opened the door, and let me go in first. I quietly thanked her and took a look on the inside.
Okay, sorry it had to end on that note. I had 5 pages more, and it was going to be really long, so I just separated them into two chapters. Okay, I hoped you liked it! Please review!!! I love to read what you guys have to say!!
