"Bells, what about the Volturi?" I asked. She clung to me for dear life.
"They're going to want me, Jasper. They're going to try and make me one of them!" I wrapped my arms around her as she tearlessly sobbed on my chest.
"They'll never take you away from us, never." I whispered gently. Then Emmett stepped in as stole her from me and pulled her into hug, her feet didn't even touch the ground. I growled he just ignored me.
"Bells, nobody can make you do something you don't want you to do." She sniffled.
"They're stronger than me!"
"Bells, you can control their minds, I'm pretty sure you are like the strongest vampire out there." Alice said. My angel laughed, Edward growled at my thoughts, and she turned to me.
"Awe, you call me your angel in your head! That's so sweet!" She kissed me. Then she blanked out. "Oh no!"
"What is it? Bella, what did you see?" Emmett asked frantically. I swear ever since Edward and Alice had 'died' and Bella hit her head he is way too over protective. She picked up our driving speed and he was in the car with her. He almost had a heart attack when she hit 100 MPH and kept going. Bella completely ignored his question and looked at Alice with frantic eyes.
"Oh god, Alice no!" What was that girl planning? Bella sighed, "I can't tell you, she threatens to make me stay a day with Edward if anyone finds out." I growled at Alice.
"Oh calm down, you're as bad as Eddie here was." She chirped. I heard Bella growl from my arms, Edward spoke.
"Bella, don't be that way. Surely we can deal with one day alone." Bella went to lung at him; with her being a newborn it took Emmett, Rosalie, and me to hold her back.
"I told you its Isabella to you! I would never want to be alone with you, ever!"
"Bella!" Emmett screamed. "Why don't you and Japer go hunting?"
"I'm not thirsty." She replied with a huff. "You make him go hunting. I want to spend time with Jasper."
"Ooo, Jasper and Bells sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, ow!" Emmett looked around, "Edward why the hell did you throw a shoe at me? Wait that's one of Bella's heels, or Rose's I don't know who's really… but still!"
"I didn't throw anything at you!"
"Emmett, he lies!" Bella said in a hiss like whisper. We all started cracking up laughing. "Now Emmett take him hunting." Emmett nodded and she turned to me, "See look now Emmett's out of the way." She ran her fingers down my arm. Oh God, Emmett will please leave already! She laughed and Edward growled, as normal we ignored him.
"Why do I have to be out of the way?" Emmett whined.
"Cause you have a habit of walking in on us ruining our moment." Bella simply stated.
"Ooohhhh, so you two would have already if I didn't walk in all the time?" Bella and nodded, he looked and felt triumphant, "Score one for the big brother!"
"No Emmett, you are going hunting!" She replied to his thoughts.
"Awe, but I thought it would be fun to stay here!" Bella was furious, when did she get such a temper? "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Emmett screamed while running away.
"Sweetheart what did you do?" She laughed.
"I told him I would get him on prank day." Everyone except Edward and Alice started laughing.
"I don't get it." Alice stated. Bella walked over and flung her arm over Alice's shoulder.
"Well, you see I have a reputation for bringing harm to the vampires in this house on prank day, and that was when I was human."
"How could you have been so stupid?" Edward roared at her face. I growled and pulled him away from her.
"Stay away from her!"
"And you! How could you let her do that type of stuff? She could have been hurt!" Bella came up behind him and threw him across the room. He slammed into one of Esme's new table's.
"Edward! God damn it stop being so damn over protective! It has nothing to do with you! " She screamed.
"Why? You don't care when everyone else is this protective! Like Emmett."
"Because I love them, especially Emmett, he's my big brother. He's always been there! He and Jasper never left side when I was in the hospital way back when. Now, one of them is always at my side!" She turned to Esme's, "I'll buy you a new table, sorry mom."
"Bella, what exactly did you do? Why were you in the hospital?" Edward asked softly. Bella was on the verge of sobbing. She doesn't like talking about this that much. I rubbed soothing circles on her back.
"Jasper, stop," I stopped trying to make her happy and let her emotions be. Emmett came running back in.
"Bells, what do you need?" He took on look at her and swept her up into his arms, holding her tightly to his chest. "Shh, it'll be okay."
"Jasper, I don't know how to start because I don't remember." I nodded and started her story.
"When you two 'died' Bella went into this depressive state. For most of a month she didn't eat or sleep. She was as pale as we were and never talked. She was always crying. No music was ever played and the TV was never on. She couldn't bear to look at the things you gave her or go in your room. We were always holding her and I was always with her to try and keep some of her pain away. I remember how she use to stare at her wedding band for hours just crying." Bella cut me off.
"I really use to be like that?" She started sobbing and Emmett started rocking her back and forth.
I'm slipping into the lava
And I'm trying to keep from going under
Baby, you turn the temperature hotter
Cause I'm burning up
Burning up for you baby
Gah! What was I thinking, the Jonas Brothers? She started laughing.
"Baby, I didn't know that you know the Jonas Brothers." I shrugged.
"It was the first thing that came to mind." Rose stepped in.
"Anyway, one day she started talking to Emmett because he threatened to go down to LaPush. And she went to bed with Jasper and she had him sing her to sleep. The next day she woke up and his arm was around her." Bella sighed contently no doubt remembering waking up in my arms, "She came down and she looked more like Bella. I took her shopping and asked her what was going on between them and she said that she loved him for a long time, even though she loved you more when you were around. I told her to go for it and she said she wasn't ready yet. So I waited patiently… all while planning an amazing way to get these two together." She said pushing me towards Bella. "It took her a long time though, but I was only able to make it better. Two whole years after she started getting over you two she wanted to start dating Jasper, and I was prepared to make it something they would both remember." She sighed in utter bliss. "It was magical, Bella had on the most amazing outfit and the living room was amazing." Emmett stepped in this time.
"We came in and asked where she was and just as we asked my little sister comes walking down the stairs looking like a bombshell. The living room had a stage in it and the only three humans we had hung with in school were on the drums, bass, and guitar. Then Bella get's up and starts singing to Jasper."
I've gone too long living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start all over tonight
Beginning with you and I
When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken
Hope embraced
And have I told you?
I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leavingI won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you
But have I told you? Have I told you?
Told you that I love you
Wow, she hasn't sung that exact version since that night. I pulled her into a quick kiss. I decided that I would finish the story.
"After she finished I read a poem I wrote for her. After I finished everyone else left me and her alone. We stared at each other for the longest time, and then she started running to me, when she got the stage she tripped and fell. Before I could understand what was going on she hit her head." I shuddered remembering, "I though I'd lost her. She just wouldn't wake up, I was sobbing over her body when the other came in to see what was wrong. Emmett came in and picked her up and started sobbing as well." Emmett looked like Bella really had died just remembering it, he picked her back up and held her like he did that horrible night.
"I thought I lost my baby sister. I felt like if I let go of her that she'd disappear." He stated slowly.
"We never left her side. They said that there was a chance that she wouldn't wake up. She had internal bleeding and bruising on her brain. Emmett and I never left her side for the whole week that she was out. We also took turns talking to her. It's when Emmett mentioned you two when she woke up."
"Oh Bells please wake up! If not for us then do it for Alice or Edward, they wouldn't want you to go out like this." Bella quoted Emmett.
"Emmett, who's Edward and Alice?" Emmett quoted. "She doesn't remember almost anything except for that day really." We all sighed sadly. Alice got up and tackled Bella right out of Emmett's arms and into a hug.
"Oh, Bella! I'm so sorry that you don't remember." Alice wailed, clinging to Bella for dear life. She just laughed,
"I don't want to remember it anyway. All that pain and suffering. I do miss a few things though. I wish I could remember what my first senior prom was like. I wish I could remember my childhood, Renee and Charlie, and most of all… I wish I could remember you Alice." She sunk do to her knees and started sobbing again. Edward came up and hugged her.
"It'll be okay." She sniffled and leaned into him. No! Am I losing my angel to him? It can't be! Edward's emotions were pure happiness and love. I felt the same coming off of her except for the slight hint of sadness. I started sulking off to our room when she sighed.
"You always know how to make me feel better. I love you Jasper." Ha! I win; take that Edward she's still mine! Edward let go of her and staggered back a few steps. She looked up to see why 'I' had let go. "Jasper what's wrong? Why'd you let go?" that's when she noticed that it was Edward standing front of her. "Emmett… did I not tell him to never touch me?" Haha pretty boy's gonna get it! "Damn straight pretty boy's gonna get it!" Edward raised his hands in surrender.
"Can we try and work this out with out you hurting me, please?" He pleaded. She was thoughtful.
"Okay." What no violence? "Emmett, I'll team up with you on prank day and will only prank you as revenge if you be my body guard."
"Deal!" he agreed quickly.
"Get him." Edward took off with Emmett on his tail, they went off in to the woods. "We have plenty of time now, Edward is planning on running to Forks till he will even consider going peacefully." I laughed along with her. Suddenly she grabbed my belt loop and pulled me into a fierce kiss. She pulled away, and started tugging on my belt loop. I picked her up bridal style and ran her to our room.
Sorry, No Lemon.
The entire family, excluding Bella and I, went out in search of Emmett and Edward. Meaning we had a few days alone. Mostly we stayed in our room, wink-wink.
Bella and I were sitting down stairs watching a movie. We really didn't expect the family to come home so I was there in my boxers and Bella was in a sports bra and tiniest pair of black shorts you could imagine… I loved them. We just sat there, with Bella in my lap, not even watching the movie. Suddenly the door swung open and Emmett boomed, "Honey I'm home!" He walked over to the couch, pulling Edward by the ear, "Look I even got him!" Then he noticed what Bella was wearing. "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?"
"My Pajamas, I haven't felt the need to put regular cloths on the past couple days because nobody was home and they were gone only about an hour after I put them on." Suddenly Lust filled the room and I turned to Edward. He stood there, bent over slightly because Emmett still had him by the ear, ogling Bella. I snarled at him and he growled back.
"Oh Jasper can't you just think about what we did these past couple days over and over and still not get sick of remembering." Bella said lovingly as she lightly ran her fingertips down my arm. I caught on quickly; I knew that she couldn't tell me directly in my mind because of Edward. Alice then popped her head in the door and Rosalie followed, they came in and sat on the floor cross-legged looking at us.
"So what did you guys do?" Rosalie asked getting straight to the point.
"Well let's see, I certain nosey pixy saw something and went out and bought to bottles of chocolate syrup." Bells eyed Alice, she just smiled innocently. "So when we were in the kitchen, I went to sit on the counter when I bumped something. An idea popped into my head as I grabbed a bottle of the syrup. I took the cap off and squirted it at Jazzy's face. Then After I kissed it off his eyes and lips he picked up the other one and squeezed half the bottle down my shirt." She went on about the chocolate syrup fight. Alice and Rosalie looked like little kids being told bed time stories.
You're right they do. Oh! Esme was right that will take some getting use to.
"Then we were upstairs in the shower." They looked like they were watching a horror movie and they were watching the part when the killer kills the character that you absolutely hate. They looked like little kids more though. "I'm sorry but this is too explicit for listeners under 17." She laughed.
"But Bella!" They both whined. Then she laughed.
"You could ask Eddy boy over there. He's been trying to block out Jasper's thoughts and he's not been very successful." Alice and Rose giggled. Edward just got up and sulked up to his room.
"Bella I have something for you!" Rose said. Bella giggled.
"I know. I have been waiting for this since I woke up!" Rosalie jumped up and Bella hopped off my lap. I did the little puppy dog face and she just laughed, patted my head, and kissed my cheek. "I'll be right back."
"Emmett! I need you." Rosalie called out. When he was by her side she said, "I need you to get Bella's birthday present." He nodded and a minute later there was a black piano sitting right where Edward's piano would have been if we kept it. Bella got up and started playing something that sounded strangely familiar. Edward was suddenly next to her staring at her in disbelief. Suddenly I knew why it sounded familiar. Edward played it almost everyday back then, it was her lullaby. Bella looked up.
"What?"
"Where did you learn to pay that piece?" Edward asked slowly.
"I didn't learn it. It just came to me one day when I was playing, it's my favorite piece." Edward smiled.
"May I?" He asked nodding at the piano. She looked wary but got up. Edward sat down and started playing from where she left off.
"Where did you learn n that?" Bella asked.
"I wrote it for you back when you were human. It's your lullaby." Bella thought for a moment then turned to me.
Is it true?
Yes he played that a lot. You know how I use to sing you to sleep? Well he hummed this to you every night.
"Okay then, I guess you did write it. Now get up and back away from the piano." He did as he was told before he spoke.
"Doesn't that mean anything to you?" She shrugged.
"Jasper has written me several songs on his guitar. I can play those as well; on both the piano and guitar." He looked defeated. Bella blanked out with Alice. Several minutes later they both squealed as they came to. Bella jumped in my arms and kissed me.
"What's going to happen?"
"We can have the wedding in a year or so! We are moving to Canada next week and we are getting married year after we are there!" She was beaming and I caught myself wondering what I ever did to deserve her.
"You were you." She said lovingly. I kissed her briefly before Alice and Rosalie grabbed her arm and dragged her upstairs.
"OMG, another wedding!" Alice squealed.
Help! She squeaked into my head. Emmett laughed and shook his head. I was debating if I should help her when she walked over and started dragging me upstairs. "You're coming too!"
When we got to our room Alice and Rosalie were sitting in the middle of out bed with tons of wedding catalogs.
"Bella, pick a main color: Pink, lavender, gold, dark blue, green, violet, silver, red, or teal."
"I'll be right back." She grabbed my and ran downstairs. "Jasper: gold, dark blue, red, or violet?"
"Red, it'll match your eyes." She shook her head.
"My eyes will be topaz." We walked into the living room. "Esme, Carlisle, Emmett: Dark Blue, Red, or violet."
"Red!" Emmett…
"Dark Blue." Carlisle…
"I say violet." Esme…
"Thank you." She sighed and ran upstairs I noticed she stopped at Edward's room. She heard my questioning. "Desperate times call for desperate measures." With that she knocked on the door. "May I come in?" Edward threw the door open, his face fell when he saw me.
"What do you need?" He asked in a monotone voice.
"Red or dark blue?"
"For what, may I ask?"
"The weddings main color scheme." His face fell even more, Bella found it hilarious. It was probably his thoughts rather than his expression.
"Dark blue." He turned around and walked back to lie on the sofa.
"Go ahead. If it makes you happy then it's fine with me." Bella said. I searched her emotions to see if I could find even a small amount of doubt in her decision.
"Are you sure? I mean it's your wedding." She stretched up on her toes and kissed my lips briefly.
"It's our wedding. Now ask him." I grabbed her hand and walked over to Edward.
"Edward, I was wondering if you wanted to be my second best man."
"Do I have a choice?"
"Of course you…" I was cut off by Alice who was standing at the door.
"No, you don't."
"Then I guess so." We were at the door when she kissed my cheek.
"Go back and talk to Alice and Rose I'll be there soon." She could sense my concern, "I'll be fine."
