Jasper POV
I fell asleep for a long time after Bella left. When I was woken by Alice, I could sense that hours had passed.
"Jasper," she whispered. "Wake up, sweetie. Emmett brought you back a bear. Are you still thirsty?"
Hardly waiting for my answer, she took my hand and pulled me out of bed, helping me stumble downstairs. They'd put the blood in the fridge but to Alice's dismay, I could only drink half of it.
"Drink the rest, Jazz," she coaxed.
"I can't, I'm full."
"How are you full?" she tried to protest, but Rosalie cut her off.
"He said he's full." Rosalie cut her off. "He's sick, let him go back upstairs." Her tone left no room for argument.
Not waiting for Alice, she put her arm around my shoulders and guided me back toward the stairs. I was feeling like shit again, so I didn't protest being treated like a child.
Rosalie put me back in bed and tried to tuck me in, but I complained that I was too hot. I didn't want the blanket anymore.
"But you'll be cold later." Rosalie was used to getting her own way, and didn't agree with me that I didn't need a blanket. And then, completely ignoring my wishes, she pulled the blanket over me. I kicked it off.
"At least use the sheet."
I allowed her to put the sheet over me, mostly so that she would just go away, and turned onto my stomach, closing my eyes. A minute later the door clicked shut.
The next time I woke up, Emmett was with me. I flickered in and out of consciousness, and each time I woke, someone was there. It was usually Alice.
Occasionally, no one would be there. It frightened me when I was alone, and I was afraid that they'd abandoned me, not wanting to keep me in my weakened state. On some level I knew that they would never do that, but my mind was hazy and I was unable to think straight.
Edward must've been alerting them every time, because one of them always came running to soothe me until I could sleep again.
I had such a difficult time waking up sometimes. My eyes were so heavy and I felt so tired. I could often feel Alice's pain and sorrow, and hear her asking me to come back, but I just couldn't.
"Jasper, please wake up. Don't do this, don't leave us."
And I would try so hard to open my eyes, but I rarely succeeded.
"Jasper, wake up."
Again, strange place to end it, but I need to begin the next chapter with what I have written in my notebook, because if I put it in this chapter, I wouldn't be able to end the chapter very well. So was this better? Worse? Please review!
