Chapter Six: Jasper
Jasper let out a small breath before speaking. "Chapter six. Chapter six! Chapter six!
"Shut up and read," grumbled Jacob.
The next few days went by much like they had right after the Kiss. And, I will not (repeat: not), whine about it like other guys do and start thinking to myself, "why did I do that?" Because, you know what, I know why I did that. I wanted to. There, it's out in the open. I wanted to kiss Elisabeth Rose Hale and I did. And now it's all awkward.
"Figures," scoffed Edward.
"It was a pretty uncalled for kiss," Bella said in a motherly tone.
"Let me read!"
"Someone's snappy there, Jasper," chided Esme.
Yeah. At least she didn't tell her parents. Rosalie would have killed me.
"Really?" Jacob said sarcastically.
Really.
"Answered," piped Seth. Obviously, he didn't hear the sarcasm in his brother-in-law's voice.
She would have, because she is actually capable of doing so. Lissie can't, which is why she tormented only.
"I can't believe you," Alice screeched, pushing open the door to our bedroom.
"Are you upset?" Jasper asked Alice. She shook her head.
Did she find out? I hope not. I just wanted to forget what I had done.
"No you don't," murmured Alice.
"What did he do, dear?" Esme yelled.
Alice looked annoyed when Esme spoke, and whipped out her phone quickly. Then, I felt a vibration against my butt. She knew.
You idiot! You still aren't talking to each other! Get your girl!
-A
P.S. The girl is Lissie Hale, and you better get her back, or at least get her. It was meant to be. Edward knows it too. Trust us.
No pressure there, Alice, is there? Take note of the sarcasm.
"Jasper," Alice hissed. "Fix this, or I will tell Rosalie. Do you want her to know? Do you want to die before you can confess your love?"
I shook my head, gulping as I did so.
They all had to agree Alice had her frightening moments.
She smiled brightly. "Okay. Now go." She pushed me out of the door, and slammed it shut. And if I opened it, I figured she would would have my head. Then she would hang it in front of our unused fireplace, burn my body, and torture me with pictures from Lissie's wedding, and all of her children.
"I would never so something that cruel," Alice innocently said. But, she did admit she would be cruel.
Yeah... I could kick Alice's favorite dress out of the window now.
Jasper knew that wouldn't be the best option. Alice would kill him. He'd be on the hitlist of far too many female vampires then. Rosalie, Maria, Chelsea from the Volturi because of that little incident 50 years ago, Heidi for not finding her attractive (well, she was rather stupid for a vampire. Poor Demetri and his little infatuation.), Alice... The list just went on. He wasn't very well liked, obviously, in the female vampire comminuty.
Here I go...
I found Lissie about half an hour later beneath Rosalie and Emmett's window at their home. A small smile graced her lips, and all I felt was tranquility from her.
"Surprise, surprise," Leah remarked.
"Hey," she whispered. So she knew I was there, somehow.
"Well," Edward started, "Bella was like that. She knew things from being with us so long, not to mention she caught things no other human did. Maybe it's like that for Lissie too, since she grew up with Rosalie and Emmett."
Esme shook her head, smiling. "You wouldn't have to be like Bella to know when Emmett was coming."
"True," Bella agreed.
"No," she answered my thoughts. "You just happen to be speaking to yourself again."
"Oh." Edward blinked a couple of times, and bit his lip awkwardly. Everyone stared at him for a moment, then Jasper began reading again.
She opened her large purple eyes and looked me straight in the eye.
"If they're anything like Rose's," stated Esme, "then they must be beautiful. Right Edward? Carlisle?"
The two nodded, remembering the shocking shade of eyes the human Rosalie had had.
"I miss her," Jacob sniffled a tad bit. "We fought all the time, and I miss that."
Leah didn't seem so surprised, nor did Edward. But the rest sure were.
The smiled changed a tad bit, and resembled the smirk she liked so much to wear. "It's better than the scowl I always had as a child," she laughed. I must be talking to myself again. She chuckled, shaking her head.
"Lissie," I said slowly, rocking back and forth on my heels. This was going nowhere. Dang. "Elisabeth..."
I must have been annoying her, because she rolled her eyes. "What?"
"Erm... Alice knows." I didn't know how she'd take it, but I was pretty sure she wasn't going to laugh again.
"I know that," she answered. "We spoke right after you left to find me."
Well, that helps a little, I guess.
"Jasper," she whispered. "For your past, you're being a huge coward at this moment."
"So she knows about that too, then," Carlisle noted.
She stood up carefully, and pulled off the leather jacket she never seemed to take off.
"She didn't wear it the day you kissed her," Seth told Jasper.
Until now. Throwing it on the bed, she ran her fingers through her hair.
The innocent look on her face was terribly cute.
"I'm curious what the girl looks like," Carlisle said.
Tranquility no longer flowed from her. Now, only nervousness.
"Wow," said Leah sarcastically. "Her nervous? Holy mama!"
"Jasper," she breathed, running her fingers through her blonde hair, messing it up even more. "What did Alice say to you? She wouldn't tell me everything."
"To find you..." I began, moving slightly closer. She looked me over quickly, and took a longer stride towards me. "And to get you." So close, we were so close. "Because you were meant for me."
"Are you sure you're not coming on a little strong?" asked Bella.
Lissie made the first move and planted a hard kiss on my mouth. She really never was one for being gentle. She pulled away nearly at once, though, while biting her bottom lip.
"Is it wrong to love you?" she asked me.
"No," I answered softly, and pulled her closer to me again. And then, our lips were molded together.
"Awww..." sighed nearly everyone except for Carlisle and Jasper.
"Finally," murmured Bella.
"Hallelujah!" cried Alice quietly.
"I'm not sure I want to read the next chapter," Esme said carefully. "Who knows what will be there."
Alice smiled softly. "I'll take it. Read it. Yes. Of course. Totally." She held out one of her tiny hand's, and the manuscript was placed there.
A/N: It's been quite some time since I've updated, hasn't it. Well, I just got back from Mexico, and it was pretty tiring there. I have never been anywhere like that before. I felt like the only American. Everyone else was European. Anyways, I was surprised that there were so many topless women, and men in pink speedos. Honestly, I didn'y even know they put pink flowers on the things. Wow.
But, the animals there were cool. Monkeys were only 20 feet from the hotel, peacocks roamed free, and these adorable little creatures scurried around everywhere. The things reminded me of squirrels and rats, so I started to call them squirrel-rats. Creative, huh?
Anyways, it would be great if you reviewed!
