Chapter 14

Jasper P.O.V

The first thing I heard was an alarm clock beeping. Someone switched a light on, I closed my eyes tighter. I didn't want to get up, I didn't want this day to come. I wished it was a dream, that I was dreaming I was about to have to wake up. Today was sure to be the worst day of my life,

"Jasper?" Alice whispered, I felt her shake me, "Jazz, it's time to get up," she said it a bit louder now, the shaking was stronger. I sighed and opened my eyes. It was lovely to wake up to Alice every morning, no matter how early it was,

"Mornin'" I whispered, my accent stronger than usual, Alice smiled widely,

"Come on sleepy head, get dressed we need to leave in half an hour. I nodded and got out of the warm bed, I heard Alice get clothes out of her wardrobe and she ran past me to get to the bathroom. I smiled whilst I changed into my clothes, when Alice came back out I went in and brushed my teeth. My hair was a complete mess so I just left it,

"I love how curly your hair is," Alice said as she pulled her fingers through my mane, I chuckled,

"Thanks," I wrapped my arms around her and finally got the kiss I had missed out on yesterday. It was a soft warm kiss, it lasted a few seconds but it felt like hours. I noticed how our lips moulded together, like they were meant to go together, meant to be,

"Come on Ali, I am sure Esme has created something amazing for breakfast." I pulled her out of the bedroom and we walked hand in hand to breakfast. We feasted on scrambled eggs and toast, Esme had to go and make more because Emmett ate most of the first portion she left out. Rosalie looked pale and withdrawn today, she didn't meet my gaze, like she was avoiding me reading her expression properly. There was no time after breakfast to do anything, much to Emmett's upset. Thankfully Rosalie was riding with him and I wouldn't have to listen to him moaning about not getting to watch his programme. Alice rode with me in my car, the drive was silent. She looked at me the whole time and I kept glancing at her, she was concerned, I could feel it. Every now and then she would touch my hand on the gear stick, like she was comforting me. I couldn't help but think she was getting suspicious, and I couldn't blame her. Not only was I hiding my home life from her, I was also hiding the fact that I was going to find out what Jessica Stanley had attacked her. She would probably hate me when she found out I was doing all of this behind her back. I found myself hoping she would hate me, so that she would be safe, but I was too selfish to let it happen. I knew she would forgive me. When we arrived at school we met up with Emmett and Rose. They were holding hand, I felt sad, I had missed Rosalie and Emmett's relationship change because I was so wrapped up in myself,

"Aw look Jazz," Alice giggled, "Emmett and Rosie, sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G," she burst into fits of laugher, I chuckled along with her,

"You are such a child Alice," Emmett said, Alice shrugged,

"Well I am the youngest," She said through laughs, Rosalie smiled broadly, I was glad to finally see her happy,

"So I think I will drop Rosalie home," Emmett began, I cut him off,

"No Emmett I will drive Rose home, you take Alice." I looked him straight in the eye willing him to understand. It was too dangerous for Rosalie to go home without me, goodness knows what would happen. He seemed to understand because he nodded. Alice was about to complain when the bell rang. We ran to class.

Emmett text me first period, requesting a meeting. We agreed to get out of class second period to talk. I told Mr Powell halfway through English that I was going to the toilet. He nodded and I left, Alice was looking at me suspiciously as I left but I quickly avoided her gaze. Emmett was leaning against my locker when I rounded the corner. I nodded in acknowledgment at him, and walked to join him he immediately started talking,

"We need to get the Jessica thing sorted,"

"I know, but how?" I was still completely confused with the whole Jessica situation,

"Well, how about you talk to her?" he suggested, I snorted,

"Do you really think that is a good idea?" his eyes widened,

"Oh of course, how silly of me. If I leave you two alone she will probably pounce on you," my pressed my lips in a thin line,

"Not funny Em," he shrugged,

"Hey male rape is nothing to be ashamed of," I sighed loudly, frustrated,

"Is this really the time?"

"Oh right, sorry. Well what do you suggest?"

"How about during lunch you and I go and speak to her? We'll tell everyone we are going to the bathroom," I let him decide the rest,

"And you can go out of the canteen and I will tell Jessica you want to talk." I nodded,

"Maybe you should tell Rosalie, she might get a bit suspicious if she sees you leaving with Jessica," he agreed and we went back to class. Alice asked me why I took so long, I told her I went to get fresh air. She didn't seem to believe me but she dropped it. The rest of the morning passed far too quickly for my liking and before I knew it, the lunch bell rang. I walked as slowly as Alice would allow me, to the canteen. She walked, though it was more like danced, to the lunch table and joined Rosalie, Emmett, Edward and Bella. I grabbed our lunch, like everyday, and sat down across from Alice. I tried to engage in the conversation but my mind kept wandering. I had no appetite and let Alice eat my fries, she asked me what was wrong but I lied and told her I wasn't feeling right. Before I knew it Emmett gave me the signal. I quickly tried to look pale and lifted my head up to look at Alice,

"I'm just going to the bathroom, I don't feel well," I seemed to convince her because she nodded,

"Okay," she smiled weakly and then through herself back into conversation with Bella. I left the canteen and as I turned around to look behind me I saw Emmett walking over to Jessica's table. I let the door slam behind me and I walked to the empty English classroom that Emmett had arranged to meet me at. I perched myself awkwardly against a desk and shoved my hands deeply into my pockets. I waited, growing more impatient until I heard Emmett's thundering footsteps coming up the corridor. I looked up to see him enter with Jessica. My I scrunched my face up as I got a huge whiff of her perfume. I closed my eyes and let Emmett begin. He closed the door behind him,

"Are you not going back to the canteen Emmett?" I was looking straight ahead but I could feel her gaze upon me,

"No Jessica, we need to clear something up," Emmett cleared his throat, my turn,

"I wanted to speak to you, Jessica," I turned to see her, I gagged internally at the lovey-dovey look on her face,

"Of course Jasper, what do you want to speak about?" she smiled flirtatiously,

"I, wanted to ask you something," excitement lit up in her dull, unwelcoming eyes,

"Ask away," she breathed. I looked at Emmett and then continued,

"A few days ago, at lunch. You attacked Alice Cullen, why?" she replied immediately,

"Oh, that," she giggled, "Well she needed to know," I was confused,

"Know what?" I asked,

"Know that your mine," she smiled broadly and walked over to me, running her hand up my chest, I flinched away from her,

"What do you mean, Jessica?" she laughed again, but it wasn't a giggle like the last time, it was more malicious,

"You are mine Jasper. I knew the minute I saw you, I would have you. I love you, and you, well you love me too. We were meant to be," I looked her straight in the eyes, it seemed to me like she actually believed what she was saying,

"What are you on about? I love Alice, my girlfriend," I emphasised to last word, she laughed again, it sent shivers up my spine,

"No, Jasper, you love me," I shook my head and looked at Emmett, he looked completely confused,

"No, Jessica. I honestly don't know where you are getting all of this from, but I don't love you. I am sorry but I love Alice, she is my girlfriend," she screamed, I jumped not having anticipated it,

"No!" she screamed again, " I am your girlfriend!" and then many things happened. It was like a whirlwind, Jessica screamed louder and louder, punching her fists on me, the table. She kicked chairs, ripped posters, going completely mental,

"Dude, the chick's crazy!" Emmett yelled at me,

"Em, go get a teacher!" I yelled back, he didn't need to be told twice. He ran out of the room and left me alone with a very unhinged Jessica. I didn't know what to do, should I try to stop her destroying the classroom? I decided against that, I didn't want to provoke her. So instead I tried to blend into the background and await Emmett's return. He came back about 5 minutes later with a very out of breath nurse and our head teacher, MR Greene. They tried to calm Jessica down but then she saw me and started screaming bloody murder. In the end she started to get too aggressive so the paramedics were called. Jessica was strapped to a stretcher and wheeled into the ambulance. She seemed to be very distressed, trying to get out of the bindings. I felt a small pang of guilt, did I lead her on? But Emmett assured me that I didn't, she was obviously ill. Emmett had called Esme and she had Alice, Edward and Emmett pulled out of school for the rest of the day. I got Rosalie and I excused as well and Bella called her dad. Alice drove back to her house with me, the ride was silent, just like this morning, except she didn't look at me at all.

We all sat in the living room, Carlisle was working and he managed to get us updates. Apparently, Jessica was extremely violent when she got to the hospital so they had to sedate her. She was now under observation. Emmett decided, and announced, that Jessica was mad as a hatter and that they should lock her up and through away the key. Esme scowled at him, no one laughed. Carlisle told Esme that Emmett and I would need to speak to the police about what happened. Esme called the police station and Bella's dad was on the way to the Cullen's house right now. Everyone got comfy, watching television, Esme drifted out of the room murmuring something about snacks. I looked at Alice, she looked at me and then pointed to the stairs. I nodded and we silently went to her bedroom,

"What happened?" she pressed me,

"Nothing," I shrugged my shoulders,

"Something happened, people don't go nuts for no reason," I decided to just tell her, it was done now and I didn't like lying anymore,

"Well she text Emmett yesterday and, it was a little threatening," I looked away from her and looked at my feet, "So Emmett and I decided that we needed to find out why she attacked you,"

"You could have just asked me," she whispered, I looked at her, and got lost in her violet eyes for a second,

"I didn't want to upset you," I had avoided speaking about the attack ever since it had happened,

"Don't be silly, it wouldn't have upset me," this girl was like steel!

"Well we went to ask Jessica and she went like weird," I laughed quietly at my wording, "She said that I was 'hers' and that I loved her, and I said that I loved you," I blushed and Alice blushed too,

"Thank you, Jazz," she smiled and kissed me tenderly. I hugged her tightly to my chest and then Esme shouted me downstairs. Alice took my hands and squeezed it reassuringly. Bella's dad was as awkward as she was, I told him my story and then he spoke to Emmett. He promised Esme that nothing would happen to either of us, that it was clearly Jessica that needed help. Esme offered for Rose and I to stay another night, and as tempting as it was I declined. Rosalie and I had been living a dream the past few days, but dreams don't last forever. It was time to wake up, and smell the coffee.

The lights were on inside the house as we pulled up. On our way back from the Cullen's, I had stopped to get Matthew and Daniel some beer. I thought that it would maybe sweeten them up a little, hopefully. Rosalie was visibly tense, I wished that I was stronger, that I could fight back and look after her the way I should be able to. But I was nothing, a weakling. I got out of the car first, and got the beer from the boot. I shifted the boxes so I could hold Rose's hand and we walked to the door. It was unlocked, like I had assumed and we walked in. The first thing I noticed was the smell of cleaning products. I scrunched my brow together, did I miss something? I put the beer in the kitchen, Rosalie tagging along beside me, equally as confused. The place was spotless, but what worried me was that the furniture was gone. The whole place was empty, stripped, nothing but the carpet was left. Had he gone, fled? I felt hope bubble in my stomach but I pushed it back down, I wasn't that lucky. I took Rosalie's hand tightly in mine and we walked upstairs. As we walked I could hear voices. I looked in my room, everything was gone, my eyes bulged. I checked Rosalie's, hers was empty too. Matthew's room was cleaned out as well. Rosalie and I were silent as we grew closer to the room the voices were coming from, I pushed open the bathroom door to see Daniel and Matthew packing the towels away in boxes,

"What are you doing?" I whispered, Rosalie hid behind me,

"Oh hello kids, back so soon?" Matthew had a malicious look in his eyes. I repeated myself,

"What are you doing?" I was louder this time,

"We," he pointed his fingers at all of us, "Are moving."
