Chapter 26
Jasper Pov
I sat up in my hospital bed staring at six pairs of curious eyes. Bella, Edward, Alice, Charlie,Carlisle and Esme stood there with a mixture of emotions flashing across each of their faces.
"Are you sure Jazz? I mean I know you and Jacob never really got on all that well but...I mean.." Bella trailed off.
"I don't think Jake is capable of such a thing. I mean he's a good kid. He has no motive" Alice flashed Charlie a dark look as he continued "I can't believe it was him"
"I do" everyone turned to face Edward but he simply stared back at me not meeting Bella's gaze.
"Of course the current boyfriend believes it was the ex-boyfriend.." Charlie mumbled under his breath which earned him a dark look from Bella.
"I believe you too Jazz" Alice said as she skipped to my side and took my hand.Her small hand intertwined with mine as if they were made for each other.
Carlisle and Esme traded glances with Charlie. "Well I suppose I'll have to bring him in for questioning" Charlie sighed.
I noticed Edward still wasn't meeting Bella eyes as he stared at the floor. Charlie left, as did Carlisle and Esme all going back to work. Edward Bella and Alice all had to get back to school and it wasn't long until I was alone. Just me and my thoughts. I was 99 percent sure it was Jacob. He had always hated me. He wanted Bella all to himself and saw me as an enemy when I was simply a good friend.He played nice in front of Bella but I could see it in his eyes every time he looked at me.
I tried to sleep but there were too many thoughts bouncing around in my mind. It was no use anyway cause I knew I would have the reoccurring dream that has been haunting me. I lay back staring at the white ceiling tracing invisible patterns on it with my eyes. A nurse entered the room then startling me. She smiled at me as she checked my chart, just then I heard a booming laughter coming down the hall which caused both our heads to snap up. She looked at me with wide eyes as the laughter got louder and louder. I couldn't stop the smile that was forming on my lips as the door flew open causing the nurse to jump and quickly exit the room.
Emmett took one look at me and doubled over in laughter.He stood at the end of my bed still trying to keep a straight face.
"Dude have you seen yourself?..Carlisle told me you got beat up but he didn't tell me you..." he trailed off as he burst out laughing again.
When he noticed I wasn't laughing along with him he tried to stifle his laughter.
"What are you doing here Emmett?" I asked
"Well I figured I'd drop by. Rose is back home going over wedding stuff and organising our wedding shower..whatever that is and I just had to get out of there. I mean I don't care what kind of centre pieces we have or if one of our potential bridesmaids got fat all of sudden..." he sat down at the end of the bed which caused the whole bed to move, I tried to interrupt but he kept talking. "..and now she has to buy a new wedding dress just because I walked in on her wearing her other one. I mean she looked real hot and I wanted to take her right there and then.." his eyes flashed to my face as he cleared his throat "..anyway I didn't know planning a wedding would be this stressful. I mean not that she lets me do anything anyway, well maybe that's cause I broke the little bride and groom that sit on top of the cake" he laughed suddenly shaking the bed "I stood on it and snapped the brides head off. I tried to glue it back on but she still noticed"
I tried to interrupt again "Em.." but I was unsuccessful.
"And now she needs Edward and Alice to get their tux and bridesmaid dress fitted.Plus I have to work on my vow's. C'mon Jasper I'm not the most poetic guy in the world and Rose tells me to write what I feel. Some how I don't think she'll be happy with..Rose I love you.You're hot especially when your mad and I want to spend the rest of my life making you mad..I should ask Edward for some help, he's real good at all that mushy romance crap yeah I could ask Edward. If I could get him alone for five minutes, him and Bella seem to be a package deal" I got the feeling he had forgotten my presence and was just talking to himself. When he finally stopped I jumped at the chance to interrupt.
"I meant what are you doing here as in the hospital.." I watched as he remembered my original question.
"Oh right yeah, Well I needed to speak to Carlisle and I figured I'd call in and see the patient" he said chuckling. "You look like hell man"
"Thanks Emmett" I said rolling my eyes.
"So any idea who kicked your ass?" he asked
"So nicely put! but actually I do. He's being questioned right now.He's also Bella's ex boyfriend" I was surprised by his reaction.
"Bella really knows how to pick 'em huh?" he said laughing again.
"So what did you ever do to this guy?"
"Nothing but be Bella's friend. We've never seen eye to eye when it comes to Bella though" I replied.
"So what's the deal are you gonna mess this kid up when you get outta here?" Emmett asked raising an eyebrow.
"It's not just him, he's got some loyal friends down there at La Push and they're big guys"
"If that's true why the hell did they hit you from behind. That's pretty lame."
"Yeah pretty sore too" I laughed which caused my ribs to ache "Ow ow ow." Emmett sat there laughing at me.
"So I'd say Alice was a wreck" he asked and I couldn't help the goofy smile that spread across my face at the mention of her name.
"Yeah she found me and sat right here and waited for me to wake up" I said a little happier than I should.
"Dude you've got it bad for the little pixie." he said mocking me and then his tone suddenly turned serious "If you hurt her I'll kick your ass and I'll finish what those La Push or La Shove guys couldn't" I wanted to laugh but something in Emmett's expression stopped me.
"I wont.." it came out in a raspy whisper. I cleared my throat "I wont ever hurt her Emmett. I love her"
He stared at me for a few moments and I held eye contact with him. His face remained serious until a big grin broke out across his face.
"Are you for real?" he asked and I nodded my head in confirmation.
"Good for you man!" he said as he punched me in the arm. When I winced in pain he jumped off the bed causing the springs to bounce again.
"Sorry man I'm gonna go find Carlisle before I kill you or something" he laughed again as he headed for the door I watched as he burst through the door and filled the hall with booming laughter once more. I let out a deep sigh as I held my arm and went back to tracing invisible patterns on the ceiling. It no longer amused me and I began to get restless. I wanted to know what was going on. If Jacob had confessed, if Charlie had arrested him, what Alice was doing right now. I smiled again. This bed felt empty without her tiny frame pressed up against me. Her smell was still on my pillow. I breathed in. It would have to do until she got here. Her face flashed in my mind as I drifted to sleep.
Jacob POV
I wasn't surprised when Billy got a call from Charlie asking that I come down to the station for questioning. I had heard Whitlock had woken up and I knew it was only a matter of time before he pinned the whole thing on me. Pity he had no proof.Quil and Embry had believed my story and it wasn't long before we had Seth in on it too. When we arrived at the station Billy was dumbfounded as to what was going on. My dad was my alibi and he didn't even know it. He thought I was in the garage working on the bike and hanging out with Seth, Embry and Quil. When really Seth was in the garage covering for us just in case and me,Embry and Quil were waiting for Whitlock to finish practice. It worked better than I thought it would the parking lot was almost clear by the time he made his way out. He didn't suspect a thing and he went down with one blow. We kicked him on the ground making sure to hit him in the face so he wouldn't get a good look at any of us.He was in pretty bad shape when we left him but he was breathing so we took off. I heard from Charlie that his little girlfriend found him unconscious which made me smile on the inside but I had to fake horror when Charlie told me.Maybe if we had stuck around a little longer we would have gotten to see that scene.That would have been awesome. Now I had to work on my plan for Cullen. The thing that's most stopping us is trying to get him alone. He is always with Bella or that little fairy. Maybe I should just take my frustrations out on that shiny car of his. Or maybe I should keep Bella preoccupied while Embry and Quil get him alone, although I really wanted to do it my self.
I contemplated this as Billy and Charlie droned on and on about violence and kids today. I internally rolled my eyes. I asked Charlie about Whitlock's currant state. He was on heavy pain medication which made him drowsy and weak and I knew he was alone because the fairy, Bella and Cullen were still in school so I decided to have some fun.I left the station scot free since they had no proof and couldn't pin anything on me and I made my way to the hospital. I chuckled to myself as I walked through the doors. Show time.
Jasper POV
I was awoken from my slumber by a searing pain in my chest. I doubled over which caused me even more pain as I tried to reach for the button that would summon the nurse.She hurried into the room and just moments later I was perfectly at ease. My body felt numb, as if I were as light as a feather just floating on a cloud. I had a goofy grin on my face that soon faded as my eyes focused on the person entering my room. It took me a moment to come to a decision that he was real and I wasn't imagining it. Jacob stood at the end of the bed with a stupid grin on his face.
"Jeez Whitlock you look like hell. What happened?"
"As if you don't know" I said watching him with narrow eyes.
"I have no idea what you're talking about" he stated faking ignorance but still had that smug grin plastered on his face.
"So I'm guessing Charlie didn't believe me and they didn't have enough proof to arrest you?" I started to feel dizzy but I wouldn't let the argument drop.
"Arresst me? What are you talking about Jasper?"
"Jasper? You never call me that." I'm sure I was slurring my words at this stage. My eyes focused on Jacob coming closer.
"I should have stuck around to see that pretty little girlfriend of yours" he said as he laughed darkly.
"You son of a.." he interrupted me
"You went down so easy. You didn't even put up a fight." he chuckled and the room started spinning.
"I'll kill you when I get out of here Jacob" I heard him laugh again as I struggled to press the button.
"Listen to me Whitlock. Stay away from Bella ok she's mine now."
"What if I don't?" I slurred
"Let's just say we wouldn't want anything to happen to that little girlfriend of yours. Alice is it?"
"Leave her alone I'm warning you" I shouted finding a inner strength. My words were drowned out by the sound of the door bursting open. My eyes flew open with shock. I saw Jacob's eyes widen as he took in all of Emmett. All too quick he had Jacob by the throat and he slammed him into the wall. Jacob's feet dangled a bit off the ground. Emmett tightened his grip and Jacob let out a gasp.
"So I couldn't help but over hear your conversation." Emmett said slamming Jacob against the wall again. "What was that you were saying about my little sister?" When Jacob didn't reply Emmett proceeded to bash his head off the wall. Jacob howled in pain like the dog he is.Emmett then loosened his grip so Jacob could talk. His feet were still dangling trying desperately to touch the ground.
"Who are you?" he managed to choke out. Emmett smiled before he replied.
"Emmett Cullen. Please to meet you." then his fist collided with Jacob's face and he slid down the wall. He didn't stay down for long before Emmett gripped him by the neck and pulled him back up only to have his fist meet Jacob's face again causing blood to stream from his nose. He slid down the wall again and this time he left him there howling in pain.Emmett then turned to me.
"How many broken ribs did they say you had Jasper?"
"Um four" I croaked.
I watched Emmett kick Jacob four times in the stomach, my only regret was I wasn't doing it.
"Although Jasper four by two equals eight. Emmett kicked him another four times while taunting him.
"Who's the tough guy now huh?" and another kick "What was it you were saying about my sister?" another kick. He gripped him by the neck again and slammed him against the wall. Jacob's head flopped forward.
"So what's that Jasper? A fat lip and a black eye. Ok" he punched Jacob in the eye and the mouth mirroring my injuries. My lids began to feel heavy.
Although they didn't miss Alice's entrance, as Emmett explained to her I seen her tiny fist balled. Emmett positioned him against the wall as Alice kicked him right between the legs causing Jacob to collapse. I smiled as the medication took me over. Revenge is sweet.
