Jasper:
Rose helped me stand and sat me on the edge of the booth's chair.
"Thank you." Rose whispered, taking the ice pack from the waiter.
Rose brought it towards my cheek and held it against it.
"You deserved that…" Rose sighed, causing me to snatch the ice pack from her hands..
"I'm just trying to help you out!" Rose snapped back, as I pushed her away from me.
"I don't need your help!" I exclaimed, holding it against my face.
"You do need my help Jasper! You just don't like to admit it!" Rose asserted, sliding into the other side of the booth.
I turned to face her and saw her staring out of the window. Maria sat quietly resting her back against the back cushion of the booth.
"I know you don't like Mariah." I spoke up, seeing Maria doze off.
Rose snapped her head towards my direction and glared at me.
"You went into my room!" Rose shouted, as the manager came over.
The manager stood in front of me, grinning widely.
"Excuse me, would you two please leave. You're disturbing our other guests who are trying to eat."
"You don't have to ask me twice!" Rose spat, gently shaking Maria to wake her up.
I watched Rose slid out of the booth, place a blanket over each car seat and then grab them.
"Maria hold on to my purse." Rose directed, giving me one last eye roll before heading towards the door.
No! She can't get away that easy! We're going to get down to the bottom of this once and for all! I stood up, threw the ice pack at the manager and followed her out the door.
"Admit it!" I yelled, stopping her from getting into her car.
Rose looked down at the babies and Maria inside the car, before she closed her car door and approached me.
"Admit you don't like Mariah!" I clarified, banging my fist against the trunk of her car.
"Be quiet!" Rose scolded, glancing towards Maria, who was falling asleep inside the car.
"Admit it Rose! That's all I want you to do! Admit it!" I pushed on, as she pulled out her car keys.
"Admit it!" I repeated, as she whipped towards me.
"Fine! I don't like her!" Rose bellowed, throwing her purse into the passenger seat.
"Why?" I implored, as she slammed the door.
"She stole you from Alice! Alice is my best friend, well was my best friend before you got through with her! And Mariah…. Mariah is nothing but a whore, who can't find a decent man who isn't taken!" Rose retorted, crossing her arms, and rolling her eyes at me.
"I'm glad I know how you truly feel about her." I whispered, resting my head in my hands.
"That doesn't mean I don't still look up to you Jasper. I just don't look up to you as much!" Rose replied, walking towards the driver's seat.
"If you accept Maria, then you have to accept Mariah!" I shouted, stopping her from getting inside her car.
"That's different-" Rose started, before I cut her off.
"No that's not! It's the same thing! Just because Maria shares our blood doesn't make her less apart of our family than it does Mariah!" I proclaimed, leaning against the driver's door so she didn't get in.
"You need to go home and sleep. You need your sleep Jasper." Rose sighed, reaching for my hand.
I quickly snatched my hand away, and pushed her away from me.
"You're my sister, and you suppose to approve…" I whispered, feeling a headache approach.
"I did approve…of your relationship with Alice. You and Alice were so happy, then Mariah came into the picture and destroyed everything! Don't you feel some remorse for Alice!" Rosalie screamed, on the verge of crying.
"Alice is fine! She even said it! We're both in good places in our life!" I shouted, in return, seeing Maria stir awake.
"I can't believe you! Her fiancée left her on the day that's suppose to be the happiest day of her life! Do you think she's completely over that? You need to make things right!" Rose hollered, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"All of this advice coming from the woman, who was stupid enough to get knocked up by the biggest bachelor in Forks, and rather have people think she's a slut then tell the true paternity of them!" I asserted, causing her to push me from in front of her car.
"Take Maria home with you! Mariah is there!" I shouted, as she turned the key in the ignition.
Rose didn't even acknowledge that she heard me. She quickly backed up and pulled off.
