My day was different in some aspects. Angela spent the day chatting with me in lessons I had with her as had been the norm lately, and I sat mostly in a dazed world of my own thinking about the kiss I shared with Jasper. Lunch time was different though. Although recently I had opted to sit with Angela as she was kind enough to sit with me, I was dragged off by the evil pixie named Alice to once again sit with them. I'd have to apologise to Angela for not sitting with her.

I constantly wanted to stare at Jasper and was trying to make more of an effort not to, though he was blatantly staring at me. Every time I looked towards him I was presented with his entrancing eyes staring back at me. Fortunately Emmett was too amused by the food in front of him to actually notice. I was so very thankful for Emmetts love of all things food at that moment.

I couldn't help the flutter in my stomach as he winked at me. What was that supposed to mean? Oh god the possibilities…

My thoughts were interrupted by Emmett suddenly speaking.

"So right I was thinking, I know is middle of the week and everything but I can't be assed with this shit. Schools stressful and I was thinking we could all go to one of the clubs tonight. Relax a bit, y'know? You too Bells." He declared. I knew none of them would disagree. Something I noticed about the group was when someone suggested something, especially Em, they go with it. They unanimously nodded.

"Em, I don't really feel like going out. Reckon I could stay back…that doesn't mean you can't go, I'll be fine at the Cullen's." He looked torn. I really didn't want to ruin a night out for him.

"I'll stay with her Emmett…" Jasper whispered carefully.

With that small sentence Emmett looked just about ready to blow. He looked between everyone at the table first and finally his eyes landed on Jasper. "Outside. Now. We need to talk." With that he pushed his chair out and Jasper followed suit. I made to get up but was forced back down by Alice.

"They'll be fine. They need this." It didn't stop me worrying…

They had been outside awhile when Alice spoke to me again.

"Time for you to go split them up." I ran outside to see what was happening between them.

Damn I think I'm going to die. Why, why did I have to say anything? I should have kept my big mouth shut. Now Emmett is going to made me a bloody pulp. In all honesty I don't know why I followed him. I could have just backed down but no, I have to follow and make a bigger deal out of it all. We came to a stop outside on the edge of the forest out of the view of any onlookers.

"Why?" Huh? Well that's vague. He must have noticed the befuddled look on my face and continued. "Why the hell do you want to babysit my sister?" Damn it. Now he looks more aggravated.

"I just thought it would make sense. Going to the club usually entails me being left alone, which I wasn't exactly looking forward to. Isabella wanted to stay behind and I thought maybe I could keep her company instead of being left alone in a club with a bunch of drunks." That made him snort.

"No"

"No?"

"I don't believe that. There's something more to it. That's not you…" What?! I cut him off. I was pissed. Majorly pissed.

"How the fuck would you know what I'm like?! You've spent more time fucking your girlfriend and getting drunk than having any time to 'know' me! You were too fucking busy to even notice what was happening to your own sister!" He punched me. Damn that hurt. Mind I deserved it. Black eye in the morning…

"You know nothing about that so shut the fuck up Jasper. I know what you're like. Getting drunk, fucking girls. That's the Jasper Whitlock I know." Wait…he can't know about… "Yeah Jasper. Quit with the pathetic look. I know all about Maria."

Well that explained his dislike of me. The look of disgust on his face was enough to tell me that. What pissed me off was how he knew. Alice was the only one who knew. That evil pixie and I have to talk.

"You know nothing…" It was his turn to cut me off.

"I know everything you dick! Alice told me everything. She might have been drunk but Alice never lies. You never bet against Alice." Yeah, we need a serious talk.

My eye was throbbing. Emmett sure knew how to punch.

"Maria was a mistake dude. I'm not trying to just fuck your sister." Another punch. Very black eye in the morning.

"Stay the hell away from my sister!" I was about to reply when I heard her angelic voice.

"Emmett Swan! You have absolutely no say in who I see and don't see! How dare you?! I can judge a person well enough myself thank you!" I turned around to see the little angel flushed red in anger from head to toe.

To say Emmett was shocked it a huge understatement. He moved his jaw to speak a few times but said nothing. Bella stalked off, but not before I saw the tears streaked down her cheek. I didn't care if Emmett was going to kill me. I had to comfort her.

"Izzy!" I ran after her and didn't look back though I'm sure Emmett was as flushed as Bella just had been. When I caught up with her she was sitting on a bench bawling her eyes out. I grabbed around her and held her in my arms rubbing my hand across her back consolingly. She buried her face in the crook of my neck and continued to cry. I could still hear her mumble though.

"I'm so sorry about Emmett. Lately he's taken the role of protective older brother too serious."I continued to rub her back.

"Don't worry darlin'. I bet he'll always be like this with me. He's come to his own conclusion about me before, you know that." Some of them are true, to some extent, but not exactly what he thinks.

I held her in my arms until the lunch bell sang. "Darlin' we've both got lessons to get to. I'll walk you to biology alright." And I did. On the way I spotted Edward and Emmett walking up to me. Shit, I didn't need another black eye.

Edwards dragged Bella towards biology stopping her from hearing what Emmett was going to say… or do.

"Fine." He was being way too vague again. "You can stay with her tonight." He turned to leave, but suddenly, making me jump, turned back around. "Any funny business I'll rip your limbs off one by one. We're getting a cab there and back so we'll be home earlier than usual. It's a school night after all. I don't need a pissed Esme on my ass. If you're going to leave the Cullen's, you tell Esme what you're doing." With that he tried to run off.

"I would never hurt her Em... I really wish you'd give me benefit of the doubt." He stiffly nodded and walked away without further answering.

Even with Emmett's attitude I couldn't help but be ecstatic that I was going to be spending another night with Bella.

Fucking dick! He's up to something I'm sure. He has to be. With his reputation, but my sister had to trust him. I never for one moment thought she was a bad judge of character, but now? Jasper fucking Whitlock. It was bad enough getting back to the lunch table and have everyone agree I should give him a second chance. He had looked after Bella last night just fine. Benefit of the doubt. I'd done that the whole time I've known him. I'd never once called him out on shit. Granted I never asked him what was happening…

My own sister siding with him though. Makes me wonder what kind of bullshit he's been feeding her. Only I can't stop her from seeing him because she'll say I'm being interfering and over protective. Screw it. I'll let him screw up himself.

But…If he harms one hair on her head I will kill him. She is my little sister after all.

"Edward get off my arm." Damn it I wanted to know what was happening between Emmett and Jasper.

"Cool it will you! I've been told to tell you something and I won't tell if you won't calm down." He refused to take his vice grip from my arm. I would have never guessed Edward was strong just by looking at him, but the pain in my arm disagreed that we was in any way weak. I relaxed somewhat and looked at him expectantly. "You will be spending your evening with Mr. Whitlock." He smiled and let go of my arm.

What? Emmett backed off? I couldn't help but smile and continued to smile for the rest of my day. Spending time with Jasper made me happy. It really did. Especially after he kissed me last night, I'm ecstatic.

Leaving my last lesson I quickly made my way towards the parking lot. Emmett seemed to have already left and there I saw Jasper waiting, leaning against his car. He looked up and smiled at me muttering something about how lucky it was he brought his car today. He looked so breathtaking smiling at me. I could get lost in his beguiling blue eyes. He helped me get into the passenger seat of his car and gently closed the door behind him. Jasper made it to the Cullen mansion in record timing and once again helped me getting out of the car.

Esme was, as usual, in the kitchen when we entered the house. Jasper smiled politely and offered to help her with whatever she was doing. Although she declined you could tell how pleased she was that he had offered. Feeling the call of nature I left them both. On my return Esme kissed me on the cheek and told me she would see me at eleven the latest. Noticing the befuddled expression I was holding Jasper told me we were going out for a little while. It wasn't long before we were out of the house.

"So where are we going?" I asked, still somewhat bewildered.

"We are going to my house. If that's ok with you of course." He turned to look at me awaiting a reply. I nodded slightly. "My mom likes meeting my friends, and if I'm totally honest, I can't wait for her to meet you. She'll love you." He gave me a lopsided smile and drove along the roads of Forks I had yet to travel along.

It was a bit of a drive from Edwards. It too was hidden in the middle of forests, but other than that differed greatly to Edwards. I preferred it. It was smaller and enchanting.

"Different huh? Its just me and mom. We love this little place." He admired his home with a small smile gracing his lips.

"So do I" I breathed. I made my way out of the car to Jasper who was standing just in front of it, holding his hand out for mine. I smiled at the contact. We walked in and were greeted by Mrs Whitlock. She grabbed me in a hug muttering about changing her boy.

For a while Jasper and I sat talking to her. I had never felt so loved by a stranger before. The moment I had walked through the door she had loved me, and for that I loved her. She accepted me immediately, no questions asked. The whole time we spoke Jasper held my hand with a look of pride in his eyes. We also had dinner and I was pleasantly surprised at her cooking.

She allowed Jasper and I some privacy as we went to his room. I hadn't failed to notice my hand he had been holding had been let go of as we both made to sit on his bed. We both sat in silence for a while, speechless. I decided to break the silence.

"Thank you for bringing me here Jasper"

"The pleasure is all mine darlin'" I smiled at him again. "You're…you're really beautiful when you smile, you know that?" he laughed at that. "and that was really cliché for me to say right?" I joined him as he continued to laugh.

He stopped laughing and stared at me. Reaching across he caressed the side of me face bringing a blush to my face. "Y'know I also love it when you blush" With that his hand moved to the back of my neck and pulled me gently towards him. Our lips came crashing together with such need. Our lips moved together rhythmically as though we were both meant to be together. Now that sounds somewhat cliché. He, reluctantly, pulled away and gazed into my eyes. I smiled at him once again encouraging him to kiss me again.

This time we were interrupted by Mrs. Whitlock calling telling us it was getting late.

Jasper took me home and when we arrived got out of the car with me. He pushed me against the car and captured my lips in another passionate kiss.

"Bella, Will you go on a date with me?" I smiled, this time pulling him into a kiss.

Let me know what you think =]
