Chapter Twelve

I woke up on Saturday morning in Jasper's bed, his firm arms hugging me tightly to his warm body.

I wriggled in the iron cage of his arms and he stirred "go back to sleep Pix" he scolded me "no one's coming over today so we can sleep".

"What if I don't want to sleep?"I challenged puling away from him.

He pulled me back to his chest and murmured huskily in my ear "what if I won't let you leave?"I smirked "then I'll tell Jessica Stanley that you're secretly in love with her and you're waiting for her to make the first move".Jasper's eyes widened in mock horror "you wouldn't" he gasped.

I smiled mischievously and he glared at me "you would, wouldn't you?"I nodded before burying my laughter into his chest and pretty soon I could feel his body begin to shake with laughter too.

"You really are a frightening little monster" he murmured and I could hear the humour and affection in his voice.(A/N Eclipse quote LOL)

"Just for you" I responded kissing his throat and revelling in the growl he made.

Just then my stomach had to go and ruin the moment and growl loudly, Jasper chuckled "perhaps I should feed you" he grinned.

I smacked his firm chest playfully "damn straight, I haven't eaten in ages because I've been too frightened that I've had your seed growing inside of me, thank god that's over".Jasper chortled good-naturedly and shook his head at me "Come on then Pix, I'll get you some food".I took his hand and he lifted me out of the warm nest of blankets.

I yelped as the icy cold morning air came into contact with my bare skin and Jasper howled with laughter before tugging his light blue shirt off and tossing it to me, leaving me to ogle his beautifully toned abs.

I moved my eyes up to his even lovelier face and saw that he was looking me over with plenty of lust.

"Fuck you look so sexy in my clothes" he growled playfully and I glared at him "not now I'm hungry and you promised me food" I reminded him.

"I'm pretty sure that I could find a way to distract you from the hunger" he murmured, stepping closer to me so that his lips could trail my collarbone.

I moaned in pleasure before my stomach growled its protest loudly.

Jasper sighed "come on then time for food"I smiled at him "yes food and then I promise that you can drag me back upstairs and ravage me".

I laughed as he scooped me up in his arms and carried me downstairs, placing me atop the kitchen counter before beginning his rummage through the cupboards.

"Aha pop tarts!" he cried triumphantly, putting four in the toaster and turning around to beam at me.

"I found pop tarts" he smiled proudly and I giggled "I can see that".We ate our breakfast quickly and then ran back upstairs to Jasper's room where we spent the rest of the afternoon in bed.

When I eventually got home that evening Emmett and Edward barely said hello to me before rushing out the front door to meet Rosalie and Bella.

They had been doing a lot of that lately, blowing me off to hang out with my best friends.

I rolled my eyes; I had been gone for over twenty four hours and instead of worrying about me my supposedly protective and caring brothers had barely even noticed my absence.

The rest of the weekend continued in much the same way, my brothers and my best friends ignored my very existence.

I guess that Bella and Rosalie clued on that my feelings were rather hurt by their constant ignorance, because on Monday morning they insisted that we drive to school together, just three of us.

This was something we hadn't done since Rosalie and Bella had started dating Edward and Emmett.

"Are you okay with this Alice?" Bella asked me as we began driving.

"Am I alright with what Bella?" I asked, playing dumb.

"With us dating your brothers?" Bella frowned.

"What does it matter?" I snapped at them "it's not like you two could care less about me anymore".

"Al you know that's not true"Rosalie gasped "we love you, you're our best friend".

"Well it sure doesn't seem like it"I told them "you guys are always blowing me off and for my brothers no less, do you have any idea how crappy it feels to be the constant fifth wheel with your brothers and best friends".

"We're sorry Ally, we didn't mean to make you feel that way"Bella looked truly repentant and Rosalie frowned.

"Is that why you spend every weekend with your friend from dance class, are you trying to replace us or something Al?"

I deliberately ignored the mention of my friend from dance class because I knew that she didn't exist and instead I chose to get defensive.

"I didn't even know that you'd noticed that I was gone, you're never out of my brother's bed long enough to say hello or good bye to me".

I knew that my words were harsh but I was letting out some feelings that I had kept locked up for far too long and it felt good.

"Ally we really are sorry, we didn't mean to ignore you and you've been really great about always being the fifth wheel" Rosalie started before I interrupted her.

"Thanks for reminding me how pathetic I am guys".

Rosalie glared at me "let me finish, I know that you've put up with a lot and we appreciate it and we'll try and tone it down with Emmett and Edward and make more time for you".

Her face softened "we love you Ally, you're our best friend".

I could tell that the words were sincere and for the first time I felt remorse for lying to them about Jasper.

They hadn't been ignoring me intentionally, they were in love; and if the sex was half as good as what I had with Jasper then I couldn't blame them.

Then again the sex in question involved my brothers and although I couldn't fault them for falling in love I could blame them for having bad taste.

I looked up, distracted from my thoughts and noticed that we were driving into the school parking lot and Bella and Rosalie were looking at me expectantly.

I smiled at them "I'm sorry too, I've been a bitch and I just wanted you to know that I love you guys too".

We parked and waited for Edward's Volvo, we didn't have to wait long. He was there almost as soon as we'd parked.

I snorted, he never let Bella out of his sight for long, as Bella, Rosalie and I had many admirers at this school.

I hurried off to my History class, I didn't have very many classes with the others and History was one of the ones that I had alone, except for Jasper.

I smiled at Jasper; we were the first two to get to the classroom so he walked to my side and embraced me quickly.

"How was your weekend?" I asked him and he grinned "well my Friday night and most of Saturday were really great but Saturday night and Sunday kinda sucked".

"Really why is that?"I asked, grinning because I obviously already knew the answer.

"Because" he pouted "my Pixie had to go home on Saturday and I missed her".

"This...Pixie"I smirked "she sounds special".

Jasper laughed "oh she is".

I was about to retort with a witty response when I heard Emmett's booming laugh coming from behind me.

I was confused as to why I heard Emmett because he wasn't in my history class but I acted quickly anyway.

I shoved Jasper away from me and growled loudly "I don't fucking care what slut you rooted on the weekend Whitlock, so don't come bragging to me".

Jasper raised an eyebrow at me, his eyes full of shock before he caught sight of Emmett, Rosalie and Bella and his eyes filled with understanding.

"Who says I was bragging Cullen" he exclaimed vociferously "that was my subtle way of letting you know that I'm off the market. I've seen the way that you look at me and I'm so not interested.

"You're an asshole"I snarled, enjoying the show that we were putting on "if I looked at you it would be with nothing but contempt, I fucking hate you".

I felt a large hand clap me on the back and then Emmett's loud voice boomed "thatta girl Alice, you tell this Jackass, although I don't approve of you using language like that".

I turned around and glared at Emmett, barely noticing Bella and Rosalie who were at his side.

"What the hell Emmett, you don't approve of me swearing, you're only a year older than me AND your girlfriend swears a shitload more than I do".

Emmett frowned before realising that I was right and erupting into laughter again, wrapping Rosalie into a hug.

I laughed too, pleased that the attention had been drawn away from Jasper and I.

"So what are you guys doing in my History class?" I asked

Bella rolled her eyes "can you believe the teacher Rose and I have for English forgot her lesson plan so she sent us all too different classes for her lesson. What a lazy cow."

I laughed "that doesn't explain why Emmett is here"

Emmett shrugged "why would I go to Home Ec when I could skip the lesson and spend it with my gorgeous girlfriend, besides Home Ec is a sissy subject"

I laughed delicately, pretending that I was glad for their company in this lesson when truly I was seething that I wouldn't be able to spend the lesson flirting with Jasper.

The lesson went by uneventfully except for a sly wink from Jasper that made me burst into giggles and everyone looked at me as though I was mad.

I had thought that Rosalie, Bella and Emmett had forgotten all about what they had walked in on in History but sadly I was mistaken.

We were all sitting at our usual table in the Cafeteria when Rosalie turned to me and narrowed her eyes "what was that between you and Jasper in History?"

I groaned internally, of course Rosalie would be the one to bring that up as Jasper was her cousin.

"Nothing just a misunderstanding, don't worry about it Rose you know how much I hate that ass, any opportunity to yell at him and I take it".

Rosalie frowned but looked persuaded by my explanation.

"Why do you hate him so much?" Bella asked curiously and I sighed.

She hadn't come to our school until last year so she hadn't seen how Jasper had made my first year of High School hell.

She had just come into our tight knit little group knowing that we all hated Jasper Whitlock, I more than anyone else.

"He tormented Alice all through her first year of High School" Edward explained "and he's been a constant dick to her since then".

"What do you mean?"Bella asked curiously and I sighed "They can explain this to you Bells, I think I'm going to go for a walk".

I picked up my still half full lunch tray and spun around to run smack into Jasper's firm chest, spilling my lunch all over him and myself.

"What the fuck Cullen?" he exploded "can't you goddamn look where you're going; you've spilt this shitty school food all over me".

"Big fucking deal Whitlock"I retorted "just get your rich daddy to buy you some new ones, I'm sure he wont mind".J

asper grabbed my arm and dragged me through the cafeteria, out the doors.

Edward and Emmett stood up and were about to follow us out but one look from me stopped them.

Jasper strode out in front of me and as I stomped angrily behind him.

I'm sure that we made quite the show for the students who were still in the cafeteria but then again people were used to the fights that Jasper and I often got into.

We reached the deserted hallway and I turned to Jasper "I'm sorry about your shirt".

He laughed "I don't care about the shirt; I just wanted to be alone with you".

I grinned "and you deemed it necessary to put on that big show?"

"You can't tell me that it wasn't fun"he smirked.

I laughed "yeah yeah, what's so important that you had to drag me out here like that and probably give Emmett and Edward heart attacks in the process. They probably think that we've both snapped and are finally going to kill each other".

Jasper grinned widely before pushing me fiercely against the lockers and attacking my lips with his own.

I pushed him away, my arms were weak but he sprang back instantly and I smiled knowing that he would never try and force anything on me.

"What's wrong?" he asked and I felt bad at the hurt expression on his face.

"It's not you" I reassure him "it's just that anybody could see us"".

His beautiful face turned up into a frown "so what? Let them see"

"It's not that simple" I protested "we're not dating, we're not even friends. I'll look like a slut and my brothers and Bella and Rose will hate me, especially Rose".

His expression became tender "Pix, you could never look like a slut, but I do understand. I can wait until the weekend; believe it or not I do care about you, very much".

The bell rang before I'd had a chance to reply and Jasper separated from me, disappearing into the crowd that was pouring from the cafeteria.

I turned around and found myself facing Emmett and Edward, Bella and Rosalie at their sides.

"What was that about?" Edward asked and Emmett interrupted with "do you want me to kick his ass?"

I giggled "no that won't be necessary Emmett; if I wanted his ass kicked I'd do it myself".

"You didn't answer my question"Edward pressed.

"Nothing, Whitlock just yelled at me for spilling food on him, he cares way too much about his clothes. He's probably a closet homo." I shrugged, deliberately averting my eyes from Rosalie's face as I insulted her cousin.

Emmett and Edward burst into laughter and Emmett ruffled my hair "that's my little sister".I glared at him for messing up my hair before grabbing Rosalie and Bella and heading off to class.

A/N
I've had some reviews complaining about the italic dialogue I undersatnd now that it is distracting however I'm sorry to inform you that if I have started a story with an Italic dialogue then I can't change it. I'm midly OCD and I just can't change the dialogue in the middle of a story like that. It will quite literally keep me up at night. So for those of you wondering yes I have listened to your complaints and any new stories that I start will be with non italic dialogue just like my new story Control.
