I do not own twilight or it's characters, nor do I own the songs included in this story. PLEASE STAY WITH ME THE CHAPTERS ARE GOING TO GET REALLY LONG! SORRY!
Chapter 11. Jasper and Alice sitting in a tree.
It's 6:30 am on Thursday, and I am eating breakfast in the kitchen alone. That's right, I said it, ALONE! Say it with me, and see how depressed it makes you….ALONE! Undeniably, and pitifully alone. Now that you are in my current mood and state of mind lets move on.
I have been alone all week! Alice and I usually have the same work schedules, but she took off this week to prepare for a dinner party with her parents. Apparently they decided to "play parents" this week, and decided to call their daughter, tis a miracle (insert rolling of the eyes….here)! Alice is currently freaking out and shopping like mad. She wants her Apartment to be "perfect", she has even invited (forced me), to join them for dinner at her place, but not before she gives me a make-over (we will deal with that issue later). I think she just doesn't want to be alone with them, but who could blame her! Her mother calls every six months or so, to "check" up on her, and her father does the same. Now, I understand that her father is a busy man, flying around the country opening up new clubs and such; but, her mother lives in Beverly Hills for God's sake! Her mother works in Hollywood! I am unable to comprehend how she is unable to take some time from her busy schedule and at least call her daughter often! ok, calm down Bella, you are getting riled up again, Alice says it's fine, and doesn't care……but God! How can she feel loved!!!!! It's none of your business! You are going to go, and be nice, and wear a smile! That's it! You will support your best friend, because she needs you to!
Sorry I had to have a little pep talk with myself. Moving on...so Alice took the week off to prepare herself, for her dinner party on Saturday. Emmett is gone, filming in Canada, so I am ALONE….did I mention I am alone? Well I guess I won't be alone for too long, Jasper is supposed to drop by to pick up a few things for Emmett; at least I won't be alone for…like…what…ten minutes? Fuck me…life sucks right now! Jasper is Emmett's best friend, but also his manager. I have only seen him a couple times, he is always so busy. But, he always takes the time to talk to me.(I think it's because Esme tells him to though). He is such a gentleman, with a sexy southern drawl.
His tall, lean but muscular body, seems to have been carved from stone. He has short unruly, curly blonde hair…ok so it's sex hair! Grrrrowl!
But, sticking to Emmett's strict "no dating my friends rule", Jasper and I are more acquaintances than anything else. But one can fantasize though! Having a successful, sweet, southern man as my husband, and the added bonus of Esme, as my mother-in-law. SIGN ME UP! TWICE!
DING DONG "Just come in Jasper, the door is unlocked"!
"Hey Tinker, what's up" Jasper thought that it was hilarious when Emmett called me Tinker-Bells, so he thought is was even funnier to call me Tinker. He even got Esme to start calling me Tinker. It wouldn't be so bad to be called a cute nickname by a sexy man and his mom for over four years, but to be honest, it was just too close to stinker, for my liking.
"Hey Dj Jazzy-Jaz,(I smirked) not much…just wallowing in my loneliness until I have to head to work in about forty five minutes." I smiled up at him from my cheerios, he hated the nickname I had given him. It reminded him of how badly I whooped his ass at guitar hero. Every time! Booyah!
"ok ok I get it, you beat me, A LOT! But, do I have to live with that horrible nickname?"
"Yup!( I winked) wanna, bowl of cereal?"
"Ahhh, a woman who makes breakfast(he smiled wistfully)….I might have to marry you someday" He winked back as I set his bowl on the counter across from mine.
"You know I can't marry you Jazzy Jaz, Emmett and his rules" I waved my finger in the air and pretended to scowl. He sat down and began eating.
"yeah, yeah,…rule number one….Church-Bells cannot have sex in the house EVER! or date Emmi's friends EVER!" He was now waving his finger in the air, while trying not to laugh.
"Shucks…and you're missing out Jazzy Jaz….I would have been an awesome wife…you just had to be Emmett's friend" I was giggling now, and so was he.
"yeah, but I could always dump him(laughing)……I am surprised Esme hasn't told me to, ya know, so I could ask you out on a date…..My mom(shaking his head)…..she won't stop talking about you Tinker….she is always "Tinker this and Tinker that!(he pretended to be annoyed)……I am getting afraid someday soon she will trade me in, and you will be taking my place! Hell, if I don't at least go out on a date soon she might disown me….all she talks about is how I am twenty six, and that I need to find a nice girl and settle down….make her some grandchildren……that's a lot of pressure! Girls here don't want serious relationships, it's that or they are just too….what's the word?…..ummm…I guess, CITY, and they can't even carry on an intelligent conversation, they just want my money, and want to meet "stars"…I don't know what to do!" He was shaking his head now.
"You can't fault her, she is a loving person and just wants you and the mysterious Edward to be happy….don't worry Dj Jazzy Jaz…you will meet someone, it always happens when you least expect it!" I reached over and squeezed his hand.
"So Tinker why are you sooooo lonely?" he looked at me seriously, with true compassion in his eyes.
"Oh, you know…Emmett's gone, and my friend Alice took the week off….I have no one" I placed the back of my hand on my forehead and began to fan myself, pretending to almost be fainting.
"Well, Emmett will be home next week…(he grinned a crooked grin at me)….Alice huh?….you know I have never met her…..she is really cute, right? She's that little black haired filly, in all your pictures?" He was now wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"Hey! This is not "Bella's dating service"!….but yes that is Alice, and she is wonderful….hyper…but wonderful….bossy ….but wonderful….a shopaholic….but wonderful…..a city girl, with a country girls heart…...(I started laughing)You should have seen her the first time I took her back to Georgia….oh my God, it was hilarious…….." I continued to tell him the entire story of our trip to Georgia, from landing in Georgia, to getting home and Alice buying a horse. He was laughing so hard, he had tears streaming down his face.
"Well, I am glad you have such a good friend, even if she almost kills people when she has a shot gun in her hands…or doesn't like people's faces, and proceeds' to tell them (he started a whole new round of laughter)."
"Yeah, I love her, she is such a sweet person, and she has helped me so much….ya know, adapt to all that is LA….I haven't seen her all week! But, so I am supposed to meet her for dinner tonight, then tomorrow morning I am getting a make-over, so I can meet her parents….I am sure you know her mother, she is Mary Branden (he shook his to acknowledge that he did know Alice's mom), and her father is-" I was interrupted by Alice's ring tone.
"And the girls say…save a horse ride a cowboy….everybody says…save a horse ride a cowboy". (I laughed at the ring tone as I reached for the phone, it always reminded me of Alice, dancing in the bed of the truck).
"Hey Alice, what's up?" I said giggling.
"Ohmygodbella! Mycaritstoppedworking!!!…..(crying)whatamigoingtodo?"
"Alice, slow down, what's wrong with your car?"
"IT STOPPED WORKING!!!!!…I am stuck (crying)!….Bella you have to come and get me…I've called Rosalie…but I need a ride…this can't be happening! I. HAVE. SO. MUCH. TO. DO!!!!"
"Alice, why don't you just wait for Rose, and just ride with her back to her shop?" Rosalie, was one of Alice's good friends. Alice had met her when she had first bought her Porsche. Alice had found Rosalie's specialty mechanic shop, on "Craig's list". Rosalie was a 5'9 natural blonde, who had the face and body of a super model, and sometimes the shitty attitude to go with it. But, once you got to know her (which we did), you found out that her "bitchy" exterior was all an act to protect herself. From the stories that Rose had told us, during one of the long days we spent with her, in her shop; she had been picked on her whole life. Guys treated her badly because, they thought she was just a piece of meat with no brains. And girls hated her because, they were, jealous. She had a very hard time growing up, being a tomboy, that enjoyed playing sports and building cars with her dad. Girls basically tortured her throughout her teens years, they thought her "tomboy-ness" was just an act, to get guys to notice her more.
All Rosalie knew was that she loved working on vehicles, so the garage was her sanctuary. She had opened it when she turned eighteen, and now at twenty six, her business has grown and she is able to pick and choose what she worked on, and for who. Alice instantly made friends with her, the first time she came to the shop, and right after I met Alice, she introduced me to Rose. We all spent countless hours in Rose's shop, since, Rose rarely left it (she lived above it) drinking beer dancing to music, and laughing, while Rose, worked on a car. Her business made it impossible for her to take almost ANY days off. In the last four years that I have known her she has taken only three days off! (now back to Alice, freaking out!)
"I CAN'T DO THAT BELLA, I HAVE TO FINISH SHOPPING!….OH MY GOD, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? You have to come get me Bella!" Alice was now yelling frantically.
"Alice, I have to leave in five minutes to make it to UCLA on time….I can't…I have a double load, since you took off…..you know I can't come and get you, I am soo sorry!"
(crying)
"My dinner party is going to be ruined! B-B-Bella,
P-p-pl-plea-please?"
"Alice, I would call Emmett but he is
gone, I don't know what to do…maybe you could call a taxi? You
can have them bring you here and then you could borrow one of our
cars?" I felt horrible, just horrible, she really needed me but,
there was no way I could help her.
"Bella I am in Burbank! It would take forever to get to the house and then drive back! Bella there has to be another way…..PLEASE!" Alice was full on freaking now. And I began tearing up. Suddenly I felt someone grabbing the phone from my ear, and out of my hands.
"Hi Alice, this is Jasper…Where are you…uh huh…ok don't worry Darlin, I'll come and get you…no it's fine, I have the day off…..it's no big deal, really, I have some shopping to do anyway….uh huh, ok….yeah?…sounds great, I am on my way, just calm down Darlin, I'll be there in no time….alright bye" Jasper hung up the phone, with a huge smile on his face. "Well, Tinker! I have a damsel to go and rescue….how do I look?" He was practically beaming. I just looked at him in amazement.
"Uh…..good, you look fine…wait, why do you care what you look like (He wiggled his eyebrows)…you have got to be kidding me Jasper(he shook his head)….ok fine, but if you do anything to hurt her or creep her out, you will have to answer to me!" I gave him a warning glare, and he put his hands up in surrender.
"Hey, now, my mother raised me better than that Tinker…and hey just like you said, "when you least expect it" right?(I rolled my eyes, he was acting like a teenager)…well I have to go, I don't want to keep the future mother of my children waiting(he said with a laugh)….see you later Tinker, I'll just grab that package on the way out, have a good day" He practically ran from the house only slowing to grab Emmett's stuff, that was by the door. Great! Just Great! Alice, gets to be rescued by my fantasy husband, and I am just stuck cleaning his dishes! I rinsed our bowls in the sink and placed them in the dishwasher, and headed out.
I was just pulling into the hospital, as my phone rang. "BELLA, BELLA!" It was Jasper, he sounded out of breath and really upset.
"WHAT"S WRONG, JASPER!" I was getting upset and he had only said my name, twice.
"Oh
my god Bella, it's Alice(a knot formed in my stomach)….we are on
our way to UCLA in an ambulance!" My heart fell to my
ass.
"WHAT!!!!! Whathappenedissheok?" My words jumbled
together.
"I think so, I don't know! she is awake and talking…Oh, GOD BELLA, I pulled to the side of the freeway to pick her up, the tow truck had just left, and then it happened! Oh GOD!" He sounded like he was sobbing.
"WHAT HAPPENED!?????" I was hysterical.
"It hit her, that car hit her!" he was sobbing now.
"OHMYGOD! She got hit by a car!" I was now standing outside of my car in the UCLA parking lot, screaming hysterically into the phone.
"Yeah, she saw it coming so she was able to jump out of the mostly….Oh my GOD Bella, I have never felt so helpless! Her leg has to be broke!….the driver says we are almost there!"
"Ok I will meet you in the ER! Tell them to take her to trauma one…I got to go, I'll see you there" I hung up, and ran from my car to the ER. I called Dr. Madikians and told him what happened, he said not to worry and to take the day off. He also said that he would meet us in the ER. For an ass, he sure can be descent sometimes! As I hung up the phone in the Nurses station, I saw Jasper. He was walking beside the gurney, holding Alice's small hand in his. The Nurse asked him if he was family, he turned to her and growled, "she's my wife, fuck off!" and continued to trauma one.
I ran to them. Alice's petite frame was covered in blood. "Alice, Alice can you hear me? Are you ok?" I searched frantically into my best friends eyes.
"My dinner party is ruined now, Bella….just ruined" She began crying and I began laughing. Oh thank god, she is ok!
"Oh Alice! Forget about the dinner party….you just got hit by a car!" I shook my head at her. The nurse stated that they were going to take her to x-ray and MRI, and that they would be back. I nodded, "Alice, did you hear that (she nodded), ok I'll be here when you get back" She smiled a weak smile.
"No…WE will be here when you get back" Jasper said as he kissed her small hand. She gave him a stunning smile. Then they wheeled her out of the room. I turned to look at Jasper, he looked like he was about to have a mental breakdown.
"Jasper?…are you ok?" I asked him as I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. He turned and threw himself at me, sobbing in the crook of my neck.
"Bella, it was horrible! Just horrible(sobbing)….She was smiling and skipping towards my car….All I could think was how beautiful she was and how she exuded happiness(sobbing)….then her face went blank, and the car hit her…OH GOD B-b-b-be-bella….H-h-how c-c-could someone be so…so…so careless? (sobbing)…..I ran to her, and dialed 911.…she was limp and I thought she was d-d-dd-d-dead! (sobbing)…even with all the b-b-blood she…she….she was beautiful…like and ANGEL…..Then she opened her eyes, oh GOD, her eyes…..she saw all the way to my soul…..I have never felt anything so peaceful….when the ambulance arrived all she said was Bella and UCLA….I couldn't do anything for her Bella, she was so fragile, and in so much pain….once I got off the phone with you , she reached over and grabbed my hand….I never let go…Bella, I never want to let go!(sobbing)" I just held him as he cried. I didn't know what to say or do, so I just rubbed his back and tried to soothe him. An hour later, I saw them wheeling Alice back.
"Here they come Jasper" I whispered. He stood up, and dried his eyes. I stood by the wall as they wheeled her into the room. As soon as the transport team, stepped aside, Jasper dashed over and grabbed a hold of Alice's hand.
"Angel, are you ok?…what did they say….oh Angel" Silent tears fell from his eyes.
"I am going to be fine Jasper, just a few broken bones, lots of bruises, some cuts and a concussion I think, they will probably just put some casts on me" She looked at me for confirmation. I grabbed her chart and nodded. She had broken her right leg from the knee down, he left hand, and had a concussion.
"Alice, I am going to step outside and call your parents, ok?" she nodded and I headed out the door. I called her mother and explained what happened. She actually seemed concerned and I have to say I was surprised. I told her that I would be taking Alice, home with me and that as soon as she could, I would have Alice call her. She thanked me for taking care of her daughter, and said that they would reschedule the dinner party….back to being a heartless bitch. After I hung up, I walked back into the room, to find Jasper and Alice peering into each other's eyes. Feeling like I was witnessing such a private and intense moment I turned around and walked back out.
Once they had cleaned and plastered Alice up, they released her into my care. Alice had two casts. One that went from her toes to her mid thigh, and one that went from her fingers to her elbow. I faxed over her prescription to CVS. I walked into trauma one. Alice was sitting on Jasper's lap giggling at something he had whispered in her ear. Alice was wearing a pair of UCLA ER scrubs that had been cut into shorts, and Jasper's button up shirt; leaving Jasper in a plain white t-shirt. They looked so happy. ok…this is weird, they just met….they look like they are in love, like they have been together forever….creepy…no not creepy!…sweet, super awesome sweet!
"Alice, are you ready to go home?" I smiled.
"Yeah, but Jazz is going to take me, he had one of his employees bring the car to the hospital" she looked at me with pleading eyes, as if to say "please don't fuck this up Bella, please don't go all mother hen and force me to ride with you!"
"Oh, ok, but just take her straight home…I am going to stop at the pharmacy and get your prescriptions, Ok?(she nodded), and Jazz why don't you get the pillows and blankets out of the guest bedroom and make a bed for her on the couch in the den, that way I don't have to worry about carrying her up and down stairs" Jasper nodded at me, and then pick Alice up bridal style and carried her to his car. He slowly placed her in the passenger seat and buckled her in, while placing a quick peck on her cheek. She smiled and her stepped back, slowly shut the door, and then ran to the drivers side, jumped in and sped off. I was left I a daze, just grinning like an idiot and shaking my head.
I headed over to my car, and climbed in, dialed Emmett's phone number after a few rings it went to voice mail, "Hey it's Emmett, and I guess you aren't that important, because I am not picking up my phone!…hahaha, just kidding, I am filming right now, but as soon as I get your message I'll call ya back….especially if you're a female and HOT! growl" BEEP.
"Hey Emmi-Bear it's Bells, it's two on Thursday afternoon. Alice got hit by a car this morning, but she will be fine, she has a broken leg and arm, and a pretty bad concussion. I am headed to the pharmacy to get her meds and Jasper just left to take her to the house…..I really miss you…(I began sobbing, and shaking uncontrollably)….I could have lost my best friend today (sobbing)….I wish you would pick up your phone…I really need to hear your voice!….(sobbing) well, I'll let you get back to your film…I love you Emmi-Bear….and don't worry I…I… I'll be fine, I'm just a little shook up right now…call me when you get this…(whispered) bye" I hung up the phone feeling helpless. The realization of what happened today danced through my mind. Alice, could be dead. I shuddered at the thought. I wiped my eyes, and started the car. Alice was going to need her meds soon, I needed to hurry up and get them to her.
