Saturday nights were never an uneventful time for me. There was always something to do. And even if there wasn't, my friends were always there to keep me preoccupied. I can't remember the last Saturday that I didn't have mapped out. Until now.

I slammed the phone back onto the cradle on the wall after getting Seth's voicemail for what seemed like the millionth time. I had already tried calling Emmett twice as much, only to get his voicemail as well. A boring Saturday night is an unfathomable concept for me, but I was dangerously close to having one of them.

I rubbed my hands down my face out of irritation and picked the phone back off the cradle a little too aggressively, nearly causing the damn thing to be ripped off the wall in the process, before dialing Emmett's number again.

"You have reached Emmett McCarty's dating service. If you like the strong, irresistible type, then please leave your name and what time you will be available for a date at the sound of the tone...except if you're a dude. Sorry. I don't roll that way." Beep. I rolled my eyes at his message.

"Emmett McCarty! Where the fuck are you? I've been trying to get a hold of you and Seth for the past few days! I'm starting to think you two are avoiding me!" I sighed and leaned against the wall.

"Could you please just call me back? You guys are starting to make me worry," I admitted, not liking their lengthy, unexplained absence. "And does that message actually work in getting you dates? I'm just saying…" I laughed, attempting to ease my worries about their whereabouts, as I hung up.

I sighed as I made my way over to the kitchen table and plopped down in one of the chairs. Now what was I supposed to do? I was itching to do something or go somewhere. I mean, it's Saturday night for fucks sake! But Emmett and Seth have apparently disappeared off the face of the earth. Not to mention that Jake and Leah were still on their vacation in France, leaving me with absolutely nothing to do.

I had already memorized my lines from the new script and preoccupied myself with cleaning every surface of my house, allowing my OCD side to come out. By now, the house actually sparkled. I even went for an hour jog and took a bubble bath in my Jacuzzi style tub when I got back.

My feet were bouncing with my inability to sit still for long, as my fingers drummed a steady rhythm on the table. If Leah had been here, I would have just dragged her to Eclipse for a night out, but since she's not here and I couldn't get a hold of the others, I seemed to be on my own tonight. I groaned out loud. It's Saturday. I should be doing something, not cooped up in my house moping around since no one is here to keep me company.

I huffed in irritation as I stood up from my perch at the kitchen table. I wandered around the house aimlessly for a bit, before plopping down on the cushy couch in the living room in front of the huge flat screen TV and grabbing the remote. After clicking the TV on, I flipped through the channels mindlessly. I smiled when I stopped on a channel, hearing the familiar theme song playing as the opening credits of the show began.

Blue skies calling on blue skies
Don't take them away boys
Don't take them away
'Cause I'll never stop

I've been to both knees
Raise my hands up to the sky, forgive me

Is something out there far beyond the clouds
I'm asking help me
Help me to see the world
Through baby eyes and hold me closely
I need a fresh start on the roller-coaster made for coasting

It's time to wake up
Time to make up
Time to shake these memories
It's time to leave the past in the past and lace up a new set of shoe strings

I want the world to know
I've got your back
Through up and down see
So we can sit together
Side by side through amazing

As the theme song was playing, I watched as I appeared on the screen with my name, followed by Jasper, Alice, and the rest of the cast before the show began. It was a rerun of the episode when my character's stalker disappeared without a trace.

I watched the beginning of the show, smiling as Jasper and I interacted on the screen. I remembered how hostile we had been to each other after certain scenes were wrapped up on set. I thought back to this morning and how things have changed so much between us. Before, I always imagined Jasper to be some arrogant asshole who couldn't keep his dick in his pants. Now, I see a whole new side to him that caught me completely off guard.

Flashback

The sunlight streamed through the windows in my room, waking me up from the deep sleep I had fallen in after that disastrous dinner with Mike. I still didn't understand why Jasper was acting so weird last night. I shook those thoughts off as I got up and stretched. It was way too early to analyze the oddity that is Jasper.

Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I traipsed downstairs to brew a pot of coffee. I would be practically dead the rest of the day if I didn't feed my caffeine addiction with my usual cup of coffee in the morning. It was then, as I was filling the coffee maker with water, that I looked out the window into the front yard and saw a familiar car sitting in the front of my house. I stared in shock at Jasper's car being here.

After I had turned the coffee maker on, hearing the gurgling sound of it starting up, I put some shoes on and went outside to see what he was doing here.

It took all my effort to keep from laughing my ass off at the sight before me as I stopped by the driver's side window of his car. Jasper's face was pressed up against the glass, drool leaking out the corner of his mouth, the glass fogging up every time he exhaled. Letting my curiosity get the better of me, I knocked on the window causing Jasper to jerk upright with wide, wild eyes. He relaxed when he saw me.

"Jasper, you're not stalking me now are you? Because you'll have to wait in line." I was astonished at the reaction I got from saying that. Jasper's eyes darkened and anger set into his features.

"I'm not stalking you!" The biting tone of his voice caught me off guard.

I instinctively took a step back. He looked pretty intimidating at that second. After a moment, he groaned and turned his gaze away from me as he explained what he was doing outside my house. Wait. He was worried?

"You. Were. Worried?" I repeated his words slowly, making sure that I had heard him right.

What kind of alternate reality did I step into? I could just picture this weird phenomenon being investigated over at the Pentagon right behind the Bermuda triangle and the UFO sighting in Roswell, New Mexico. I mentally sniggered at the image in my head about the army guys running around the Pentagon trying to investigate the cause of the strange disturbance in Los Angeles, California. Jasper Whitlock worried about me, Bella Swan.

I shook my head, trying to get my overactive mind to shut up. When I glanced back at Jasper, it looked like he was avoiding my gaze. He seemed almost embarrassed. It was actually really sweet of him to go out of his way and come over to my house this morning to check on me.

I couldn't keep the smile off my face as I thought about him actually caring about what happens to me. My reaction seemed to surprise Jasper when he next looked at me, because his eyebrows scrunched together in confusion in the cutest way. Wait. Did I just put 'cute' and 'Jasper' in the same sentence?

I shook that thought off as I asked him if he wanted to come in for breakfast. I mean the least I could do is give him a meal after he came all the way over here to see if I'm okay.

I was amazed as we fell into an easy conversation while we ate, astonished with how comfortable we seemed to be with each other at the moment. What shocked me even more was how much the two of us seem to have in common, although there were some significant differences too.

I found myself fascinated with the stories he told me about when he was in high school. Having never gone to a public school in my life, his stories interested me more than they probably should have. I listened intently while he talked, trying not to give much thought to how he would look in the tights he said he had to wear for his part in his high school's production of Robin Hood.

Even a few hours after he had left, I found myself thinking about the conversation we had. Who knew he could be so easy to talk to?

End of flashback

I smiled thinking about that conversation we had this morning, half thinking it was all some bizarre dream. I always had him pegged as the shallow, thinking with his dick, type of guy. But after last night, he completely shook my original thoughts of him out of whack. And then when he asked if I wanted to go skydiving with him, I think my brain short circuited. I don't know whether I trust him enough to jump out of a plane with him…but we're getting there…maybe.

Growing bored with watching a rerun of the show, I changed the channel, trying to find something that would hold my interest. After a while, I stopped on an HBO channel when I saw that the next movie would be The Grudge. I had wanted to see it for a while now, but I had figured I would just watch it with Leah.

My friends are well aware of how I get after watching horror movies. Emmett finds it hilarious how paranoid I get after watching them. Jake and Emmett have made a game of it over the years, betting on who can make me shriek the most until I chase them out of whoever's house we are in at the time, while Seth and Leah stand to the side laughing their asses off.

I turned my attention back to the TV screen, seeing that the movie was just beginning.

"When someone dies in a grip of a powerful rage…a curse is born."

I shuddered, drawing my legs up to my chest as I read the words on the screen. I could tell I would be freaking out by the end of the movie.

"The curse gathers in that place of death."

I eyed the remote, calculating whether I should just change the channel and save myself the paranoia that would surely come with watching this movie.

"Those who encounter it will be consumed by its fury."

Why am I still watching this? Shit! Did that guy just jump off the balcony? I clutched my legs tighter to my chest and stared wide eyed at the screen.

I shuddered as the movie got to the part where the girl is crawling down the stairs, popping her joints along the way. That is some creepy shit! By the end of the movie, I had one of the pillows from the couch clutched to my chest as my hands trembled slightly with my knees curled underneath me.

Just now noticing my dry throat, I uncurled my legs and stood up slowly, stretching out my stiff joints in the process. Ignoring the prickling in my legs from them waking up, I headed towards the kitchen to get a glass of water, looking over my shoulder every couple steps I took to make sure the creepy girl from The Grudge wasn't standing behind me. I think I would piss myself if that happened…

After filling up a glass with water, I walked over towards the kitchen table, staring out the window that led to my front yard. I made my way over to it to shut the blinds, when I stopped dead in my tracks.

I shook my head and squeezed my eyes shut. I'm just seeing things because of that movie. There's nothing there. I kept repeating these thoughts in my head before opening my eyes, convinced that it was in my imagination.

I froze when I looked back out the window and dropped the glass, vaguely hearing the glass shatter on the tile of the kitchen floor. My mouth opened in some kind of silent scream as I stared out into the night. The figure that was standing there and staring at me a few feet away was definitely not in my imagination. The figure had been farther away a few moments ago, making it easier to think of as a hallucination, but now whoever it was stood with his face mere inches from the window. The only thing separating us was the pane of glass.

I stood rooted to the spot, paralyzed with fear as I maintained eye contact with the stranger. The darkness from the night prevented me from making out his features, but I could tell he was wearing some kind of hoody and had the hood pulled up over his head. My eyes widened when he placed a large hand on the glass that was keeping him out.

At this, my senses seemed to return to me and I unfroze. I barely registered the sharp pain that shot through my foot as I ran out of the kitchen and took off in the direction of the living room, heading towards the stairs. I stumbled over my feet as I ran up the stairs, shaking as I made my way into my bedroom. I flicked off the lights before locking the door and sliding down it until my ass hit the carpet of the floor. I drew my knees up to my chest and tried to slow my breathing as I tried to clear my panicked mind.

What am I doing? I need to call someone! I almost smacked myself upside the head with that thought. I glanced up from my knees, and spotted my phone on the dresser. I crawled over to it, as if standing up would be a disastrous thing to do, and reached a trembling hand up, wrapping my hand around my phone.

I flipped through my contacts and called the first person that came to mind, hoping he would pick up. He answered after the third ring, much to my relief.

"Bella?" Jasper's voice asked uncertainly. I exhaled a shaky breath, relieved that he answered.

"J-Jas-Japer," I stuttered, my voice breaking on his name.

"Bella! What's wrong?" Jasper asked frantically, having caught onto my panicked state. My breathing sped up as I thought about the guy still being out there.

"There's someone here," I whispered, my hands shaking as I said the words.

"What?" Jasper yelled. I could hear the jingling of keys on his end of the line. "I'm on my way. You're at your house, right?" I could tell Jasper was trying to keep his voice controlled as to not freak me out anymore than I already was.

"Yeah," I whispered again.

"Alright, where in your house are you?" He asked in that same calm tone.

"My bedroom," I answered shakily.

"Okay. I want you to stay right where you are until I get there," he said in a strained voice. I nodded before realizing he couldn't see through the phone.

"O-okay," I breathed.

"I'm going to stay on the phone until I get to your house, alright?"

I was about to answer him, when a sudden thumping noise caused me to jump and shriek, making me drop the phone. I placed a hand over my hammering heart as I realized it was just the tree outside my window which was tapping against the glass. As I slowly calmed down, I realized that Jasper was yelling my name into the phone which was lying on the floor beside me. I picked it up with a shaky hand and put it back to my ear, grimacing as he yelled my name again into the receiver.

"Bella, talk to me," Jasper said in a panicked voice, his calm facade had long since been abandoned. I released a shaky breath as I brought my knees up to my chest.

"H-he was right there," I whispered. "He was right fucking there, Jasper," I said in a slightly stronger voice. "H-he was just standing there, st-staring at me through the w-window." My breathing was increasing with every word I spoke. I knew I was on my way to hyperventilating. My breathing was coming in shorter and quicker, until I was gasping for air. I was vaguely aware of Jasper talking to me still on the phone.

"Bella, I need you to calm down," Jasper drawled, his accent stronger than usual. I briefly wondered if his accent came out more strongly in stressful situations.

I closed my eyes and forced myself to take slower breaths. After a while, I was able to focus more on what Jasper was saying.

"Shh Bella, it's alright darlin'. I'll be there soon. I just need you to calm down for me. Can you do that?" My breathing was slowing down even more as I focused on the soothing sound of his voice. There was a calming presence that Jasper seems to exude that I have noticed a lot lately.

"I'm almost there," Jasper said, bringing a huge amount of relief to me as he said those words.

I relaxed slightly as I realized that I wouldn't be alone much longer with that creeper outside my house. With that thought, I focused on Jasper's comforting words as I waited for him to arrive.

AN: The theme song I used for the show is called Blue Skies, by Blue October. I heard that they played this song at the Breaking Dawn concert in LA.

My midterms are basically over, so updates should hopefully pick up. Fanfiction is seriously annoying me though. It took me almost an hour to update this story because sentences kept getting moved around and other stuff kept happening whenever I would save the changes. Ugh I'm so annoyed with this site right now! Grrr... Sorry for the mini rant, but I almost gave up on updating today. Gah! Is anyone else having problems with this site?

I am officially a review junkie, so go on and press that button down there and feed my addiction! Teehee ;)
