Emmett had to all but drag me out of Jasper's room when Mom had told us to wait in the hall for her. I was really surprised her and Dad hadn't started yelling at us yet. Whoever had called them had just told them that an ambulance had been dispatched to our house; I'm sure some kind of privacy laws prevented them from finding out more. They hadn't even gotten to their hotel before they were heading back to the airport. As much as I would have liked a little more time before my social life ended as I knew it, I was much happier that my dad was here. He was a great doctor and Jasper needed a great doctor right now.

I peeked back into the room through the window in the door. Poor Jasper, he was paler than the sheet covering him. I didn't like the puzzled expression on my dad's face. He wrote something down in Jasper's chart before sharing a look with my mom and walking towards the door.

"Come on munchkin" Emmett took my wrist gently and led me to one of the chairs along the wall. I was about to sit down the moment the door opened. My dad let out a sigh and ran his fingers through his hair; it was something he always did when he was stressed. His eyes settled on me and Emmett, he walked briskly to me.

"Are you okay sweetheart?" He placed his hands on my shoulders and looked at me for a moment. I nodded feeling tears well in my eyes. He sighed pulled me into a hug; I melted into his arms, sobs overtaking my body while I buried my face into his chest.

"Is he going to be okay Dad?" I stammered out boarding on hysterics.

"Absolutely" I trusted him but I think he was saying it more for his own benefit than mine. He rubbed my back for a moment before we finally parted.

"Alice, do you know if Rosalie called her father yet?" my mom took her place beside my dad and he took her hand instantly; after nearly twenty years of marriage they were as affectionate as ever.

"She hasn't since we got here" Emmett answered for me.

"She needs to call him" Mom let out a sigh as a frown shaped her face. "We need to talk about what happened tonight" her voice took a sterner tone as a new look of disappointment took over her features. I just nodded. "In your father's office, come on" Mom and Dad took the lead as we headed upstairs. Once situated in the comfortable chairs in Dad's posh office the onslaught began.

"What were you thinking Emmett? Someone could have been killed. Jasper could have been killed!" My mother's voice had started soft but she was screaming now.

"It wasn't just Emmett" I couldn't allow him to take all of the blame for this. He shot me a glare as I opened my mouth, he was happy to fall on this sword alone.

"Do you understand how lucky we are that Tyler spent a summer lifeguarding? Is that a phone call you want to make to Jasper's dad? You think you'd ever be able to look at Rosalie again?" Her eyes bore into Emmett on that last one.

"We know!" Emmett's voice rose but he looked like he regretted it immediately. "Mom, we know. It was stupid" his voice softened substantially as he looked at her feet.

"Was there alcohol involved?" My dad sat on the edge of his desk as he looked at Emmett. Emmett opened his mouth to speak but thought better of it and pursed his lips, trying to decide to tell our parents. "Emmett don't lie to me, was Jasper drinking? Be honest with me, I need to know so I can find out what's wrong with him"

"He had a drink, maybe a whole drink over about three hours" We were lectured for about another fifteen minutes before the obnoxious beeping of my father's pager interrupted. He looked down at the offending device and frowned. He got up and took his seat behind the desk as he picked up the phone.

His fingers moved effortlessly over the keys "What happened?" he asked the moment he was connected. The other voice was muffled, I couldn't tell who it was coming from or what was being said. "What's his temperature now?"

I felt like I was on autopilot, he was talking about Jasper. I stood up in one rapid motion; I didn't need to hear anymore. I must have been running because I was downstairs in no time. A nurse was exiting his room when I reached the door, my breath left me quickly as I took the sight in front of me in. They had Jasper flat on his back and a plastic oxygen mask was strapped to his face. The only sounds I heard was the beeping of one of the machines hooked up to him and Rosalie's nearly silent tears.
