Jasper P.O.V.
I was dozing off against the cold hospital wall, when I heard Alice growl. I sat up straight, stretching.
"What wrong angel?" She had a martyr expression planted on her face.
"We need to get out of here! All this sitting is so boring, and I miss my cats!" she said exasperatedly, throwing her good arm up in the air.
"You know what the doctor said. No getting out of bed for another few days. And there are no animals allowed in the hospital." I murmured. I had been saying that many, many times throughout the last 24 hours, and it was wearing on me.
I hated to deny my angel anything. She leaned back, huffing.
Then her expression became confused and curious. I looked around for what could have caused the quick mood swing, when I heard loud banging noises coming down the hall. There was clattering and clanking, and I heard a nurse yelling reproachful phrases.
"It sounds like a herd of elephants are coming down the hall." Alice stated, baffled. I just nodded. Then I heard a bought of raucous laughter, followed by a sharp smacking noise.
I sighed in understanding.
"Looks like we have company." Alice raised her eyebrows. A small crowd formed around the door.
"Shut up, Emmett! This is a hospital you stupid doof!" I heard Rosalie snarl, while Bella and Edward stood off to the side, looking intimidated.
"Sorry Rosie." Then they noticed us staring at them. Emmett strode over, swallowing me up in a bear hug.
"Ewww. You smell like hospital." he stated. I rolled my eyes. He grinned goofily at Alice.
"How's it going squirt?" I smiled at the nickname he'd given her the first time they met.
Rosalie strode over and swatted me. I winced. Her eyes softened as she rolled up my sleeve to reveal a dark bruise.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Jasper, I didn't realize that was there."
"No problem Rosie."
"Now, why didn't you call us! We had to find out from your neighbors, who were worried sick, that you guys disappeared without a trace."
I frowned. "I didn't want you to worry." I mumbled.
"You know Jasper, you really need to learn to let me into your life." I hung my head, ashamed.
"Sorry Rosie." She huffed.
"I hear that too much. If you and my idiot husband would just use your brains once in awhile, you wouldn't have to apologize every ten seconds." she said curtly.
Then she turned to look at my Alice, her eyes gentle.
"Are you feeling any better Alice?" My angel nodded, smiling.
"Much better, thank you for asking Rosalie." I pretended to pout.
"My sister like you more than she likes me Alice." She was about to reply, but Rosalie cut her off.
"No I don't, I love you both. But Alice hasn't done anything stupid yet." she added as an afterthought. Alice beamed.
"Hello Edward and Bella." Alice said sweetly. They were off in the corner, looking like they felt out of place. Edward nodded. Bella ran forward and hugged Alice, a stray tear falling down her cheek.
"I was so worried, I called all of the hospitals near by and when I found the right one all they told me was you got hit by a car." she sniffled.
I heard Alice whisper something in Bella's ear, sounding along the lines of "I'm sorry" and something else. They shared a smile and then Bella walked carefully back to Edward, looking a little embarrassed.
We chatted with Rosalie and Emmett for an hour or so, then I heard Alice sigh heavily.
"I wish I could get out of this hospital for a little while." she murmured glumly. I saw an evil grin forming on Emmett's face. Uh Oh. Then it happened.
"Prison break!" Emmett yelled, jumping up.
"No." Rosalie said firmly. He sulked. I looked at Alice. She looked at me. I saw the excitement and longing deep in her eyes.
"Lets do it." I found myself saying. Emmett jumped up again.
"Booyaa! Operation Smuggle Squirt Out Of The Stinky Hospital Without Getting Caught is about to commence. We can call it O.S.S.O.O.T.S.H.W.G.C for short though."
He held his huge fist out. Alice giggled and put out her tiny fist too. I laughed and held out mine. Rosalie rolled her eyes but reluctantly joined. Bella scampered over and stuck out her fist. We all looked over to Edward, who looked skeptical.
"I'm not so sure about this…" he trailed off.
"Come on Edward!" Bella called, giving him her puppy dog eyes. He sighed and strode over, sticking out his fist with little enthusiasm.
" Ok, on the count of three." Emmett stated.
"One, Two, THREE!" Everyone yelled O.S.S.O.O.T.S.H.W.G.C.. Well, they tried to. Most of the letters got mixed up, but it definitely increased our determination. Emmett looked pleased.
"Now, Jasper and I will initiate phase one."
He walked "inconspicuously" into the hallway, motioning for me to join him. He did some sort of roll around the corner.
I chuckled and followed, walking regularly. My best friend was a lunatic. We walked down the hall to the nurse's station.
Emmett did some fancy hand signals toward me. I shrugged, showing him I had no idea what he meant. He sighed and pointed toward the wheelchairs at the end of the hall. We snuck over and started to wheel one away.
"Crap, we've been spotted." Emmett whispered. An nurse was looking at us.
"What do you need that for, boys?" she asked suspiciously.
"Uhh…uhh… we no speak English good." Emmett said in some sort of weird accent.
"Do you speak Spanish?" she asked.
"Uhh…Si." She started searching for something, probably a Spanish- English dictionary. While she was distracted we made our escape, sprinting down the hall.
"Woo, that was a close one. That was good quick thinking." I whispered to Emmett. Then I froze. Quick thinking?
"Who are you and what have you done with Emmett?" I demanded. He laughed.
"To tell you the truth, I had this planned out since we got to the hospital. Do I know my favorite squirt or what?" he asked smugly. I chuckled. We wheeled the chair into the room, and I helped Alice into it. She immediately started wheeling around the room, circling around everyone.
"I'm mobile!" she yelled. I laughed and kneeled down to kiss her lightly on her soft lips.
"Ummm… are we taking the elevator?" Bella asked curiously.
"Nope." Emmett replied, fluttering his fingers together like a crazy villain.
"Too conspicuous. We'll take the stairs." Alice's eyes widened.
"Don't worry angel, I'll keep you safe." I whispered in her ear. She relaxed. "Rosalie and Bella? Would you guys mind being the lookouts and then meeting us outside in ten minutes?"
"No problem." Rosalie said, and Bella nodded in agreement.
"Edward, Jasper, and I will go with Alice." Edward looked reluctant to leave Bella, but he finally followed after us. I didn't blame him, Rosalie could be pretty scary.
I wheeled Alice to the back stairwell. It was deserted. I propped up the front of the wheelchair, while Edward and Emmett lifted up the bottom. We slowly and carefully hauled Alice and the wheelchair down the stairs, they waked backward and I walked forward. After a lot of concentration and a few muttered curses, we made it to the bottom.
"Do you think there's an alarm?" Alice whispered. I shook my head.
"Visiting hours don't end for twenty minutes." I whispered. We walked out into the hall.
"I don't think we have to worry as much here, no one on this floor will know Alice isn't supposed to leave her bed." I stated.
We found the front doors and slipped out into the cool night air.
"Freedom!" Alice yelled. She took a deep breath, her eyes shining with joy.
I had to admit it felt wonderful to be out of that hospital. I could have left at any time, but I refused to leave Alice alone for one second.
I leaned back against the chilly bricks and smiled, watching Emmett wheel Alice in fast circles while she laughed and looked up at the stars. I hadn't heard her musical laugh very much since the accident. It was a relief to hear it now. Edward was leaning against the bricks also, a small smile on his face, but also a little bit of concern.
Then Bella and Rosalie slipped through the door, and his worry was swept away as Bella wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him softly.
Rosalie came to stand next to me. I saw her smile softly as she took in the sight of Emmett and Alice goofing around.
"You're a lucky man Jasper. Don't let her go." she murmured.
"I don't think I ever could." I whispered back.
"She's my angel. Forever. I wouldn't be who I am without her."
Then Rosalie did something I never expected. Rosalie the tough, independent, kick-ass sister I'd always loved, hugged me. She threw her arms around me and buried her face in my shirt.
"I'm so happy for you Jasper." she mumbled. I hugged her back.
'Love you Rosie."
"I love you too Jasper."
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alice watching us, a knowing smile on her face. She caught my eye and sent all of her love and passion to me, using our magical connection. She told me without words how happy she was that Rose and I finally started to become the close siblings that we always should have been. I grinned back at her, sending love to her also.
Then I felt Rosalie pull back, wiping her eyes.
"Damn it, now my makeup is running." I chuckled. We all hung out for a while, talking about casual things.
Then it was time for them to go, since it was past midnight. I told them I could handle getting the wheelchair up the stairs by myself. We said goodbye and promised to call if we wanted more company or to make another escape.
Then we were alone. I sat down by Alice's feet and took her hand in mine.
"I can't wait until I can curl up against you again." she murmured.
"Me either angel. I love you."
"I love you too, Jasper." We stared up at the stars.
"I love these moments." she whispered.
"The moments when we're just…us. We don't have to pretend to be anything, because we're soul mates." I didn't answer in words, I just looked at my angel and told her everything she needed to know.
