Edward's POV

After Alice had half dragged Jasper up the stairs, Carlisle turned and looked at me disapprovingly.

"What's going on Edward? You're usually the most reasonable person in the house" he said.

"Yeah dude, what's got up your ass?" Emmett teased.

I sighed and look towards the stairs and then back at them. I absolutely hated the idea of Jasper staying here with us. Why did Carlisle take him in? He isn't anything special. Alice has no idea what she is getting herself into. It just confuses me why she felt so drawn to him.

"He's just...I don't...There's something about him that I don't like. I don't know what it is but..." I stuttered.

"You're Jealous" Emmett interrupted.

"Of what? I'm happy with myself and life. What is there to be jealous of?" I asked.

"Your sister's attention" Emmett answered.

"Emmett, your mouth is full of..."

"It's true isn't it? Jasper stole Alice from you and now you're missing the bond that you always had together. You hate that Alice has finally found a guy she likes other than her brother" Emmett said as-a-matter-of-factly.

It may have been the smartest answer that he has ever come up with but it's not true. I'm not jealous.

"Emmett, I swear to god, if you don't shut up, I will..."

"Enough Edward" Carlisle intervened. "You may not like it but Jasper needs somebody to look after him for the time being. A place where he feels the most comfortable and preferably with somebody that makes him feel that way" he explained.

"Your just encouraging him" I muttered.

"Encouraging him how?" Carlisle questioned.

"Alice is my sister, your daughter; not his bodyguard" I stated.

"Alice isn't his bodyguard, she's his angel" Rosalie suddenly whispered.

I turned to look at her. Was she insane?

"I don't even know what you guys are thinking anymore" I said.

"No Edward, you make it sound like were the ones changing our attitude. You're the one that is changing" Emmett noted.

"Look Edward, the whole point of this is to actually knock some sense into you. I need you to promise me that despite your dislike towards Jasper, you will not say the slightest thing to him that would upset him in anyway" Carlisle firmly begged.

He was only worried because he knew how easy it was to scare Jasper off. If I was to just threaten him, he would go running back where he came from; wherever that was.

"That's a very difficult task" I sighed.

It really was. It was so tempting to just go up those stairs and yell at him to get out of the house right now.

"Promise me, Edward" he said a little louder.

"Fine, whatever" I raised my hands in surrender.

I don't understand why Carlisle even care so much about that anti-social idiot. Yes, he is a doctor and cares for many people but I don't like the way he is starting to treat Jasper as his own child.

"If anything does happen, Edward and you break that promise, I would be very disappointed in you. You know how delicate he is and saying such negative things to him will damage him" Carlisle warned.

"Ok, I get. No bad comments to Alice's nervous shadow" I sighed annoyed.

"Good. Now, all of you make sure that your homework is completed before your mother serves dinner for you" he advised as he stood up, ending the meeting.

I chose to head to my room. Maybe my piano will take my mind off things. I ran up the stairs and went into my room. As soon as I was in there, I lifted the lid off my piano and sat down so that I could play but just as I began to press the first note, Alice barged in without knocking.

"What the hell do you think you were playing at?" She asked angrily.

"Not you too" I complained.

"Yes, me too. What has Jasper done to deserve such a horrible behaviour from you huh? He's a good person Edward and he is special to me. Stop trying to destroy that" she continued.

"Alice, he's using you as a shield from others like he thinks that everyone is going to hurt him. He doesn't see you the way you see him" I argued.

"You know nothing" she replied quietly. "Just... just stay away from us".

He really was taking her away from me. It just hurt to hear her say it.

"Alice, get out of my room" I whispered.

She glared at me before storming out acting the way Rosalie usually does when she can't get her own way. I sighed at myself. I'm not the sort of person who would get into physical fights but I really wanted to hit him. I wanted to scream in his face and tell him how he was beginning to ruin our lives.

I placed my finger back on the key, playing a tune on the piano and then I started to extend it. Just as I was about to play the 2nd chorus, I was interrupted again.

"Hey. You. Me. Xbox. Now" Emmett demanded as he barged into my room.

"Not now Emmett, I'm busy" I replied grounding my teeth together.

"Busy sulking" he mumbled back.

"Go away" I hissed at him.

"Come on dude, stop being boring. Give me just a few games of modern warfare 3 and then I'll leave you alone" Emmett begged.

"Fine" I sighed

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo xoxoxoxox

Despite Emmett asking for a few games, we spent the next few hours killing each other and Emmett complaining about constantly getting owned.

"Dude, come on stop camping. I hate people that do that" Emmett said as I got a head shot.

"I'm not camping. I'm just, you know, hanging around in the same place" I said killing him again.

"Alright that does it, I'm using a sniper. Here comes the quick scoping pro" he bragged.

Rosalie walked into Emmett's room, turning off the Xbox.

"Awww, babe you serious?" Emmett complained.

"Dinner's ready" she stated and then walked straight back out.

I put the Xbox controller away before leaving his room making my way downstairs and into the kitchen.

Alice POV

Me and Jasper had spent the rest of our time sitting silently together, letting him play with my hands which was another habit that he had but it was as cute a his head tilting one. There was a light tap on the door which was opened just a second after.

"Dinner is ready. Jasper, my mum has done you soup, is that okay?" She asked him softly.

He didn't seem to notice Rosalie's voice. He just looked down at my hands, tracing the pattern.

"Jasper" I said.

He lifted his head up to look at me.

"Is soup Ok?" I repeated Rose's question.

"Not hungry" he whispered and then looked back down at my hand again.

I released one of my hands from his grip so that I could lift his chin with my finger.

"You have got to eat Jazz or it'll only get worse" I told him.

He then turned around and looked at Rosalie who was still standing in the door way. He held a long stare at her and then turned backed to me.

"She safe?" He whispered.

"It's okay Jasper, everybody in this house is very nice. Even Edward will be soon, just give it a few days" I assured.

He nodded in an uncertain way.

"What soup is it?" He asked me.

"Mushroom soup. Do you like that stuff?" Rosalie answered, hearing his question.

He turned to look at her a second time. I guess he was just confused as to why she was being friendly since he is only use to me and Carlisle talking to him. He nervously nodded at her. I couldn't tell whether he either actually hated mushroom soup but was too afraid to say so or he hasn't even tried it before due to lack of food that he has been given. There couldn't have been much of a variety of food that he has eaten. It made me feel sad for him. To Jasper, food was just something you eat. Flavour wasn't important; it was just filling up your stomach.

"Ok" she said, smiling sympathetically at him before she walked away.

"We should head downstairs" I spoke.

Jasper took a deep breath before he spoke, meaning what he was about to say was a nervous thought.

"He scares me" he whispered shamefully.

"Edward?" I questioned.

He nodded.

"You'll sit next to me" I assured.

"I don't like it when he looks at me" he admitted.

I think 'glared' is the word he is looking for. I loved the fact that he was opening up to me and not afraid to tell me about what is frightening him. He should definitely do that more often.

"Wait there just a second" I said as I rushed out of my room and down the stairs to where Esme is.

"Mum, can me and Jasper have our dinner upstairs?" I asked her.

"I don't know sweetie. I don't really like you lot eating in your rooms" she replied.

"I'll bring our plates straight down once we have finished eating them" I begged.

She thought about it.

"Please mum, Edward has really freaked him out" I admitted.

"Alright, fine" she gave in. "Oh but one more thing. Despite last night, now that Jasper is staying with us, he isn't going to be staying in your room" she warned.

"So where is he going to sleep?" I questioned.

"Well, certainly not in Edward's room but I should be able to convince Emmett to let him in his again until I sort one of the spare rooms out so that it's suitable for him" she said.

I nodded at her.

"Okay, I'll let him know" I replied as I picked up my plate and Jasper's bowl of soup to take up stairs.

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I ate my food slowly so that I was matching Jasper's pace. I noticed that he kept curiously looking at me food every now and again like he was comparing the differences.

"What is that?" He suddenly asked.

"This?" I questioned as I pointed at my half empty plate.

He nodded.

"Lasagne" I answered.

"Oh"

I was a little confused. Did he not know what lasagne was.

"You haven't had this before?" I asked.

"I don't know. Maybe when I was younger" he guessed.

"Do you want to try some?" I offered.

He shook his head at me and then placed the spoon back in the bowl to show that he was full. He hadn't eaten much but I guess he has a very small appetite. I smiled at him and then thought that I should tell him about the whole sleep thing as it was now dark outside.

"How do you feel about my brother Emmett?" I started.

He shrugged. "You keep me safe"

"I mean... without me" I corrected hesitantly.

He looked at me with panicked eyes. "Don't go. Don't leave me. Alice, don't leave me" he began to shake.

"Hey Jasper, listen to me. I'm not leaving you okay.

"You protect me. Alice, they'll hurt me. They'll hurt me if you go. Please don't go" he panicked.

Tears began to roll down his cheeks as he got increasingly nervous. I chose that moment to wrap my arms around him so that he was close to me. He gripped the back of my shirt, holding on like there was nothing left in the world.

"Shhhh, it's okay Jasper" I hushed.

After a moment of silence, he relaxed and let go so I pulled back from him, looking through his beautiful eyes.

"You're not allowed to sleep with me tonight" I whispered sadly at him.

"Should I sleep at home?" He asked.

"No. No Jazz, how many times do we have to tell you this; you are never to enter that house again, understand?" I ordered firmly.

He nodded

"I'm sorry, I just... Emmett? Is that where umm..."

"Yeah, would you feel comfortable in his room tonight? He's a really nice person Jasper, he wouldn't hurt a fly" I assured.

"But I need you" he firmly stated.

His eyes gazed into mine and it was like they were hypnotising me; forcing me to listen to him. He did need me and I would have let him sleep in my room again tonight but it wasn't allowed.

"I'll stay with you until you're asleep" I offered.

"But who will protect me when I am asleep?" He asked curiously.

I sighed at him.

"Jazz, the whole family is here to protect you" I told him.

"No. Only you" he said confidently.

"You won't sleep in this house unless I'm with you yet you're willing to sleep on your own in a house that you share with your abuser?".

I immediately regretted saying that as I noticed Jasper shut down on me as he moved away and moves his eyes away from mine and looking down at the floor. He was focusing hard on his breathing but he kept taking glances at where my body was to make sure that I wasn't moving any closer.

"Jazz"

"I want to go home" he demanded darkly.

"Jazz, that isn't possible"

"I said I want to go home!" He repeated louder.

"Jasper, what is wrong with you? After everything that he has done and you still want to go back?" I questioned.

"He did nothing wrong!" He shouted.

"Jasper, calm down" I told him.

"He is the only person that actually treats me the way I should be treated" he continued.

"You know that's not true Jasper. Nobody deserves to be treated like that" I said, trying to get him to at least quieten down but I didn't do it fast enough as Edward suddenly slammed the door open making Jasper back towards the wall.

"What's going on?" Edward asked glaring at Jasper.

"Get out Edward" I ordered him.

"No" he refused, not taking his eyes off the tortured soul.

"I said get out" I repeated.

"And I said no".

Edward began to walk into my room, getting closer to Jasper.

"You're gonna make him hurt me" Jasper stated.

"What?" Edward asked.

"No Jazz, you know I wouldn't do that" I replied firmly.

I noticed that Jasper began to lower his body into the corner of my room and place his hands above his head like he was expecting Edward to hit him. He was now shaking uncontrollably although miraculously, he was keeping his breathing even. Edward crouched to his level.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Edward nastily asked.

"Edward, leave him alone" I demanded.

"Look at yourself. Is this how your always gonna be when you aren't clinging onto my sister?" He continued.

"Edward, just walk away" I interrupted.

He had no idea about Jasper. He had no clue that he was making himself look like an abuser right now.

"What are you gonna do once they send you away huh? Because Alice won't be there" he whispered.

Jasper looked up at Edward, and then I noticed what he was doing. Without us noticing, he had managed to slip one of his hands in his pocket. I was horrified at the following sight. The pocket knife that he had yesterday was pulled out and then he exposed his neck. Moving his gaze on to mine he pressed the sharp blade against it.

Cliff hanger...
