Chapter 12 (JPOV)

I woke to feel a small bundle of pure hyper jumping on my bed. I waited and pretended to sleep and then when she came down I grabbed her and pulled her under the covers with me. I started tickling her sides and she squirmed and laughed. She eventually rolled off the bed dragging my covers with her, landing with a muffled thud.

I leaned over the bed smiling down at her. Her hair was a mess and covered most of her face. Her left eye was visible and glaring at me. I smiled innocently at her and reached my hand down to help her. Alice struggled to free herself from the blanket prison my covers incased her in.

When she was finally sitting beside me again after ca long fight with my covers she turned to me and smiled brightly. "Happy birthday, Jazz." She handed me a medium sized flat box. I opened the lid of the box to reveal a picture of her and me sitting on the couch sleeping. A smile immediately crept on face. I leaned down and pecked her lips gently.

"Thank you, but you shouldn't have bought me anything." I felt like complete shit. Not because I was ill, but I felt immense guilt for what I did to Bella Saturday morning. She didn't deserve what I did. It wasn't right, but then again neither was what she did . . . . . . . . . Or planned to do. I mean she was going to make fun of the fact my sister was dead . . . . . . . . Right? God, I was so confused. I mean I heard her disagreeing and saying no, so maybe she wasn't going to do anything, but she was planning too.

Alice's face turned and twisted in pain and anger. I knew she hated it when I was upset and I hated it when she was, but I couldn't stop myself this time. I looked down ashamed of my actions, of letting everyone down. Alice grabbed my chin and forced me to look her in the eyes. "Jasper Swan, what happened was not your fault. Bella was the one who is at fault here, she was the one who planned to torment you and flaunt the fact that your sister died. All this is her fault and not yours." She said it with such finality that even I couldn't fight or argue her words.

I sighed and placed the picture on my night stand. "Okay, thank you for the picture, it's beautiful." I leaned down once again and kissed her on the lips. She kissed me back eagerly and I slide my tongue along her bottom lip, begging for entrance. She pulled back and laughed while shaking her head.

"No, no, none of that. We have to get ready for school. Now, come on." She stood up and skipped into my closet. I groaned and dug my face into my pillows.

"Leave me be, it's my birthday and I want to stay and sleep." I felt as she ripped the rest of my sheets of my body and left me to shiver in the cold morning air. I glared at her.

"Listen close, Jazz. If you do not remove that cute little butt of yours off that bed in five seconds I will call Emmett and I let him wake you up." She said as if she was punishing a two-year-old.

I jumped off my bed and straightened up. "No need to get Emmett." I grabbed my clothes and ran to my bathroom to change. I could hear Alice laughing as she walked down the stairs.

I groaned as I came back from my wonderful dreamland. I rolled over onto my back and looked at the ceiling. It was covered in glow-in-the-dark stickers in the shape of stars. My foot throbbed and I glared down at the huge cast that was wrapped around my left leg. My stomach was doing flip flops, my throat felt like it was on fire, my nose was stuffed and my chest was soar from coughing so much.

Jake came bursting through the door with a smile so big it looked painful. "Guess what happened?" He was bouncing with excitement.

I groaned and sat up straight; I immediately fell back down from vertigo. My head spun and I started coughing. Jake smile was clear gone as he walked over to me. He handed me the water bottle that was sitting on my night stand.

After a few minutes I looked up at Jake. "So what's up?"

Jake's smile came back on his face and he jumped on the bed landing next to me. "I just got a call from the band and they said they booked us a concert in Seattle." He squealed like a girl.

I rolled my eyes. "You know Jake you squeal more than I do, not to mention you sound like a girl when you squeal." He glared at me.

"Watch it, B. or I won't let you come with me this Saturday to the concert." He threatened.

"Oh, fine, I'm sorry you big stupid dumb butt."

Jake looked down at his backside. "You know I think my butt's cute and it's not big or stupid." Jake said seriously.

I started laughing, but it soon changed into another coughing fit. "Okay, so concert Saturday, got it. I'll come with you."

Jake hugged me. "Thank you, thank you. I don't think I would have gone if you weren't."

"Whatever, Jake. Now do you think you can help me get downstairs so I can eat something other than chicken soup?" I raised my eyebrows and shot a pointed glance at the dish on my night stand. Jake laughed and nodded. He walked over and picked me up, I tried to protest, but he told me to shut up and be a god girl and let him take me downstairs. I then frowned and screamed ' I'm not a baby.' In which he laughed.

JPOV

I drove my bike to school, while thinking the entire time on how I would react when I saw Bella again. Would I start yelling again or will I break down and apologize? God, emotions were annoying. I sped up a touch and reached the school.

I parked beside Edward's Volvo. Rosalie had her hands in the air as if choking someone that was standing in front of her. I took off my helmet and started listening as she ranted to Emmett, Alice and Edward.

" . . . . . . When I get my hands on her. I'll beat some sense into that pretty little head of hers. Teach her a lesson on messing with my friends and family. God, when I'm done with her she won't be able to walk for two weeks." It was then I decided to make my presence known. I cleared my throat. Emmett looked over at me and smiled. Rose hugged me and wished me a happy birthday. Alice wrapped her hands around me and I pulled her tight to my chest. Edward though, he gave me a death glare before turning and walking away.

"What's wrong with Edward?" I asked watching his retreating figure.

Alice sighed. "He had a crush on Bella and now she probably won't even talk to him because he's your friend."

"You really think that?" I asked wide eyed.

"No, that's what he kept mumbling all morning as he glared at anything that moved." She chuckled quietly.

EPOV

I was in a foul mood, to put it lightly. I glared at anything and everything that got in my way and just basically prayed to see Bella before she ran away again. Jasper was way out of line on Saturday. He may think it's justifiably, but there is no justifiably reason for hurting a girl like he did. She ran out crying and I hadn't heard from her all weekend.

The rest of the morning past by slowly and without incident-well, in my classes at least. I walked to the cafeteria ignoring when someone called or when the girls threw themselves at me. I just wanted to see Bella. I walked in and my eyes looked around the entire cafeteria-no Bella.

I looked at the line, again no Bella. I felt my face twist in confusion. Finally I decided to just by some lunch and see if she was just running late. I walked over and sat beside my sister. She was facing Jasper and whispering sweet nothing into his ear. My heart sank further because I wanted to whisper sweet nothing in Bella's ear and hold her, but Jasper ruined my only chance with her.

As I opened my mouth to say something I would probably regret later Tanya and her cronies came up to our table.

She batted her eyelashes at me and then turned to Jasper. "Hi, Jasper. I like just wanted to like thank you for like getting like rid of my like cousin." I don't think I had ever heard the word 'like' so many times in one sentence.

I stared at her confused. "What are you talking about Tanya?" I asked. Bella can't be gone. She would come back. If not for us for her aunt and school . . . . . . Right?

Lauren stepped forward. "I was walking past your house when Bella came running out crying and I told Tanya." Lauren voice was pain on any ear, plain and simple. It was like someone scratching a chalk board.

"Then, like, my mom go a, like, call saying Bella's, like, staying with a friend and, like, won't be back for, like, a while." I stared open mouthed at Tanya.

I stood up and turned her to face me. "Where did she go?"

Tanya looked startled for a second, but I didn't miss the way she stepped closer to me or how she wiggled, trying to be seductive. I had to hide my gag. "I don't, like, know. Some, guy called and said she, like, won't be back for at least, a week and a half."

"What guy?" I asked impatient. For god's sake, some guy could have kidnapped her and this monster wouldn't even care.

"I don't know, something like, Joe, Josh , Jay, something, like, along those, like lines." She batted her eye lashes up at me.

Stood up straight with my hands at my sides and looked down at Tanya. "Thank you, Tanya, now if you'll excuse me I must finish my lunch." I need some excuse to get her to leave.

She sauntered off trying to sway her hips, but looked like a penguin. I turned to Jasper and glared at him. "You better hope Bella's okay." I said in my most deadly voice. It was calm, yet scary and that is why when Jasper flinched and shrunk back a little I wasn't surprised.

I stood up and walked out of the cafeteria and out of the school entirely. I got into my Volvo and drove around trying to see if I could find Bella.

JakePOV

I watched as Bella slept and once again felt the anger rise in me. Jasper had absolutely no right to do this to his own sister. Granted, he didn't know, but he still shouldn't have reacted like that.

Because of him Bella can't walk and is sick. I stood and walked over to Bella. I tucked the covers under her chin and kissed her forehead. I loved Bella, but only sisterly love and when someone hurts my sister I hurt them back.

I quickly scribbled a note to Bella saying I would be back. I looked at my watch, 3:30. They should be home by now. I drove down to Jasper's house and saw him just getting off his bike. I got out of my car.

JPOV

As I stepped off my bike I heard someone walking up behind me. At first I thought it was just Edward, but then I felt hands push me roughly to the ground. "What the hell?"

The person didn't answer, but instead picked me up by the collar and threw a series of punches to my stomach. I was choking and my head was spinning from lack of air. "You think you can get away with what you did? She doesn't deserve someone like you as family and she doesn't deserve to be treated the way you did. I ought to kill you for what you did to her, but where's the punishment in that?"

I recognized the voice as Jacob from Friday night. I kicked him off me and he flew back. I stood up and tried to catch my breath. "What the hell Jacob? I didn't do anything to you." I then doubled over in pain. My stomach was throbbing and it felt like someone had brought a wrecking ball down on it. I saw from the corner of my eye Jacob get up. He tackled me to the ground and started hitting me in the face. I could feel the blood pouring from my cheeks.

I felt tired, but I knew I had to get Jacob off of me. I was about to try and kick him again when he was thrown off me. I looked up and saw Emmett hitting Jacob in the stomach on the ground. Jacob was hitting Emmett's back and they rolled on the grass. I quickly ran over grabbed Jacob and pulled him off of Emmett. He then once again hit me in the stomach, but before he could do further damage Edward grabbed and held his hands behind his back.

Alice ran over and held me up before I could fall over. Rose went to Emmett and started calming him down too.

Rose turned on Jake and punched him on the face. "What the hell? You're that guy that was hanging out with Bella weren't you?"

"Don't you talk about her. None of you deserve Bella or her kindness." He yelled.

That set the anger off in me again. "Kindness? She was going to fake being my dead sister and trick me. That's not kind, that's a sick manipulative bitch." I screamed at him.

Jacob struggled even further against Edward. "You bastard, you really think she was kidding? You do don't you? For god sakes open your eyes. Your mother was the one that lied to you. She took you and left Bella with your real father and told you they were dead. For god sakes I've known you since the day you were born because I lived next door to you. My father died in the same crash as yours and I went to live with her and Marcus." He yelled in one breath. "Bella is your sister, Jasper and now you probably lost her forever because you jumped to conclusions."

I shook my head in defiance. "No, you're lying."

"Go ask you mother if you don't believe me. Tell her Jacob Black sent you to ask."

It was at that moment I remembered seeing a Jacob Black when I was little. He was there playing Candy-land with me and Bella the day of her birthday.

It was also then I realized I had just made the biggest mistake of my life . . . . . . . . . . . .

I'm finished with this chapter. I wanted Alice to do something mean to Bella, but decided she'll have to just settle for ruining Tanya and Lauren's slumber party ;)

Anyway R&R or I will murder Jake, Edward or Jasper in their sleep.
