Chapter 3

(Bella's Point of View)

I was getting used to the whole vampire thing and needing to pretend to do human things.
It started to feel natural, like a habit just like the rest of the Cullen's did. It wasn't hard to close
your eyes at night think to yourself for a few hours, then open them and bam it was morning.
I looked around the room to find Edward no where in sight, and it startled me a bit.
He was always right next to me when I "woke" up. I put on some jeans and an old t-shirt and
gracefully walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs to find Emmett, Rosalie, and Esme
sitting on the couch watching the television. "Hey kiddo." Emmett said looking over his shoulder in my direction.
"Hey…have you seen Edward?" I asked walking over to the couch. "Yes, he went out with Jasper and Carlisle to hunt."
Esme said smiling her warm, motherly smile at me. "And to distract." Rosalie added in. "Distract? Distract what?"
I asked confused raising an eyebrow. "Yeah to distract Jasper from our full proof plan." He said this as if I knew
what he was talking about when in reality I was completely in the dark. "What plan? What distraction?
I'm so bloody confused." Esme smiled again and motioned me to come over so she could talk to me up front.
"Rosalie, Emmett, and I had the idea to take Jasper on a night on the town. Well not Forks, but were going to drive up to
Seattle tomorrow for a night or two. We wanted him out of the house so we could discuss it further."
I sat cross legged on the floor across from the three. A night on the town? I thought to myself.
I wonder what a vampires idea of a night on the town meant. "You still look confused Bella." Rosalie said looking at me.
"Well, yeah. Kinda. What does a vampires night on the town include?" I asked raising an eyebrow again. Emmett let out a deep chuckle
and stood up looking excited. "We're going to take him out to some clubs, make him have a good time. None of us except for Rosalie and-"
He stopped for a second before saying Alice's name in Esme's presence. "Except for Rosalie have ever been to one as a vampire before,
she said they're a lot of fun. I'm not really a huge dancer, but apparently the music sounds amazing, especially with our hearing."
I took a second to analyze the idea, and it actually didn't seem all that bad. Even when I was a human I never had been to any type of bar before.
The whole vampire thing was still pretty new to me even though it had been a couple years, so I still had questions.
"Can vampires get you know, drunk?" I asked. Emmett paused for a brief moment looking like he was considering the question.
"I don't think so, but none of us has ever tried it. But it's highly unlikely." Esme chimed in. "Oh well, that gives me the
excuse to pretend to be super wasted and hit on girls!"
Emmett laughed loudly, until Rosalie elbowed him in the ribs. "Ow, Rose I was clearly joking." He said rubbing his side.
"Well your jokes aren't all that funny." She said giving him a glare. "We've already booked a hotel for 2 nights there.
So everyone should get packing, and we'll break the news to Jasper this evening once he's fed enough so that at least his emotions and temper wont get too out of control."
Rosalie nodded. But that's when something hit me. "Wait," I began, "Remember how Jasper reacted to those humans when he was around any last?
He killed four humans. He's not stable enough to risk taking him to a place where if he really wanted to could slaughter half the people in the club within a few seconds.
We'd be putting so many innocent people at risk." Everyone that was sitting around me paused as if they hadn't even thought of that. "
Yes, that is something we need to keep in mind. But I think we should be fine if he feeds as much as possible today, and all day tomorrow
until we leave. Plus he would be with all of us, Carlisle would never agree to something like this if it would be putting us in danger,
and everyone in the area that we've gone too. If he starts to act uncontrollable for even less then half a second we'll get him out of there and fast."
Rosalie said getting up and starting to walk into the hall way of the beautiful house. "She makes a good point." Esme said pointing back at Rosalie as she walked out of sight.

She was right, and it sounded like fun. I hadn't gotten too many chances or even really thought about what it
would be like to go out and hang out with my family and other people outside of Forks. It was still pretty early in the
morning and I didn't have anything to really do all day. I went into Renesme's room to see if she was awake yet and
sure enough she was. She was sitting on her floor playing with a toy Edward had bought for her the other day. "Mom!"
She yelled at me getting up and grabbing my leg. "Hey you," I smiled at her. "You're going to be staying at grandpa Charlie's for a couple days ok?"
Her smile got wider and more bright. "Really!" She squealed in her wind chime voice. "You bet, so don't ware grandpa out to badly."
I said laughing a little to myself. She always had Charlie on the go, even if he didn't want to run around with her he would, he loved her so
much and would do anything for his little grandchild. Renesme smiled and then looked behind me, all smiles even bigger then before
as she pushed away from me and ran to the door. "Jacob!" She yelled jumping into his arms. "Hey Nessie!" He smiled pulling her closer into a hug.
I shuddered, still not liking the ridiculous nickname. "Hey Jake." I said sitting up. "Hey Bells, what's goin' on?" "Oh nothing much, going to go pack I suppose."|
He looked confused. "Pack for what?" "Oh, we've decided that we're all going to take Jasper to Seattle
for a few days to try and get him to have a little bit of fun." Jacob tilted his head. "Don't you think that's unsafe? It's hard to look at
him the same after seeing him destroy those people limb from limb….well it is for me anyways." I pinched Jacobs arm and gave
him a warning look and then looked down at Renesme. I didn't want her to know what her Uncle had done to those people. Especially in
the way how Jacob described it. "Oh shit, sorry Bells." Renesme looked confused. "What did Uncle Jasper do?" Jacob poked her nose,
"Grown up talk kiddo. So when do you guys leave?" He started to follow me down the hallway to mine and Edwards room so I could start packing.
"I think tomorrow sometime. Charlie will be watching Renesme, so you are more then welcome to go and hang out with them while we're gone."
Renesme smiled looking up at Jacob. "Your gonna come with me right Jacob?" She asked touching his face. "Of course Nessie, wouldn't miss it for the world."
Jacob put Renesme down and told her to go pack her stuff for Charlie's tomorrow. That was the good thing about having Jacob around so often,
he helped us with Renesme a lot, and it was nice to have my best friend around a lot. "So, you guys taking the bloodsucker out to Seattle
to find him some new ass or something?" I turned quickly to see if Renesme was still in the room to hear Jacobs rude comment, luckily she wasn't.
"Clearly not you pervert. We're taking him out to get his mind of things and to have fun." Jacob came and sat down next to me.
"Don't you think doing something like taking him out to party, and have a good time would remind him of something Alice
would have suggested to anyone else who was bummed out? And then that would upset him even more." That hadn't even crossed my mine.
He was right though, any time anyone was depressed, or stressed about something Alice always had these huge
ideas to go and have a party or something else fun to try and cheer them up. Jasper was a very observant, smart person,
and his immense feelings for Alice would surely make our plans remind him of her. I sighed and looked at the empty suitcase on my bed.
"True, that might happen. But it's the only other idea any of us have to help him. It's worth a shot, no one can stand to see him like this anymore."
Jacob smiled and put his hand on my back. "I'm sure you guys will have fun, so you have all my luck on your side."
