Chapter 5:
Jasper's POV:
I can't believe I'm holding Alice's hand in front of my own family. We don't even show affection in front of them. How embarrassing!! I thought to myself and I realized that Edward was twenty feet away so I look over at him to see if he was staring a me. This time he was laughing slightly and shaking his head. I automatically looked around the room to see if anyone was looking at him. They must be used to his silent outbursts of laughter about our thoughts.
Edward if you speak of this to anyone I willkill you, and I won't regret it. I said it as loudly as possible in my head. This time he completely turns his head at me. I automatically drop Alice's hand.
Edward slowly and gently rises so not to startle Miss Human Bella. All the while he is still staring at me. Some hunter instincts raise, that I have to fight, when he gets into a small crouch position. A playful growl escapes from Edward's chest.
I then use my powers to make him happy, but he fights it slightly. Now everyone is staring at use. I hear Alice giggle beside me. She must know the outcome of this stand off.
"Boys! Will you please settle down," Esme's shrill startled voice broke the tension, "we can't have that now with Bella here. Her wedding is in a month and we don't need her in a body cast being wheeled down the aisle." She finished with a laugh.
"Esme! Jasper said he was going to kill me." Edward said like a small child complaining to there mother.
Just then Edward ran across the room and put me in an iron tight head lock. This time I was the one growling. Edward cut it out now. I screamed in my head.
"You could use your own powers to calm yourself right now, Jasper." He said in a low voice only I could hear.
I did the only defense I could in this situation. I played with his emotions. That must have been what Alice was laughing about. I first made him extremely happy. Then I made him excited. I proceeded with anger, jealously, and then love. He let go and ran faster then ever across the room. He then picked up a small table and threw it at me. Emmett ran in front of it and grabbed it and threw it back at Edward.
"He started it," Edward atomically answering Carlisle's unanswered question.
Carlisle and Edward both looked at me. Carlisle looked stern, but Edward looked playful. I knew that look. That was the look like he planned this all. Him and Alice knew about this. So I decided to play along.
"Edward is harassing me again, Carlisle." I added quickly in that same small child tone.
Carlisle could only reply with one comment, "Edward, don't tell others what goes through the minds of others. Jasper, just no extreme mood changes unless it is important." He sounded defeated and he couldn't really say anything else.
Edward and I shook our heads and then laughed silently . We went back to our original positions before that little outburst.
