Chapter Five

The movie was about two hours too long. I have no idea what it was even about. I just watched Alice the whole time. Edward and Bella kissed through most of it, no surprise there, but I didn't want to be ungentlemanly so I kept my hands, and my lips, to myself. When it was over, we all got up and started heading for the exit door. Bella and Alice ran ahead of Edward and I while we were walking to the car. There was a group of about 10 guys hanging around our car and Alice, being Alice, politely said excuse me than waited by the passengers' side door with Bella on the other side near the back door. The guys, who were clearly drunk, started getting closer and closer to Alice. One even put his hand on her. That set me off like a firework. I sprinted over there, grabbed the guy and shoved him up against the car by the collar.

"You think it's respectful to touch her like that?!"

"Uhhh....s-s-s-sorry. I wasn't going to do anything. I swear."

I pushed him further up against the car and heard his collarbone crack. I would have completely ripped him apart right there if Edward hadn't caught up and grabbed a hold of me. He yanked me off the guy. The guy stood up and stumbled forward running away with his friends.

"Jasper, its fine man. They weren't going to do anything." Edward said. I turned to him and glared. My eyes were pitch black, blacker than the night sky, and I let out a fierce growl from deep in my throat. Edward stumbled back and put his hands in the air, showing he meant no harm. I wasn't myself right now. My instincts had taken over. It was a part of me made to protect. I walked over to Alice and hugged her. We just stood there for a minute while Edward and Bella entered the car.

"It's okay Jasper. You heard Edward. Nothing was going to happen and he is the mind reader in the family."

"I don't care. I should have ripped that man apart. His friends are lucky I didn't go after them too." I whispered. I was afraid if I spoke in anything louder, my instincts would take over again and would run after that guy.
"But that's not you, and I know that. So you're protective of me…that's okay. I love that about you. Just as long as it never gets too far. So thank you Jasper. I knew I could always count on you when I needed you most. You're always saving me."

"I wouldn't want it any other way."

I looked down at her and kissed her more passionately than ever before. I love this girl and I have a feeling I'm going to be stuck with her for all of eternity.
