*~*~*Bella's Point Of View*~*~*
"Bella? Are you okay?" Edward asked me. I laughed, as if anything could honestly be wrong. Well physically at least.
"I'm fine, I'm just thinking back. Remembering my life before I was changed, you know?" I told him, leaning against his shoulder.
"Ahhh…Any memory in particular this time?" Edward wondered.
"The first weekend I got to spend with the best babysitter ever," I said thinking back...
***********************************************************************
"I love you Bella. I'll be back Monday morning before you wake up. Emmett and Jasper are staying with you and I'm just a phone call away," Edward said, kissing my forehead softly. I hate it when he leaves me. I know it's necessary though. His eyes are evidence of that. Edward's eyes could give coal a run for it's money.
"I love you too Edward. Don't worry about me. Emmett and Jasper are sure to keep me from killing myself. Go…The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll be home with me," I told him, pushing him gently. Even if I couldn't move him, I could make sure to get my point across.
Edward ran out of the house with Carlisle, Esme, Alice, and Rosalie. Emmett and Jasper continued to watch the Georgia Bulldogs cream the Florida Gators on TiVo. It was going to be a LONG weekend. I feel depressed.
"Bella it's going to be fine. Edward will be home in just 3 short days and I promise I'll keep out of biting distance," Jasper said, forlorn. I instantly felt guilty. I wish Jasper and I could get closer.
Emmett's phone rang loudly, jolting me from my silent desires.
"Are you sure Ali?" I heard Emmett say into his phone. He looked puzzled while Jasper looked downright frightened, his light butterscotch eyes wide. I felt scared too, wondering what could be happening now.
"I'm on my way," Emmett said, rushing out the door.
I turned to Jasper, dumbstruck. My main babysitter had just run away, with no explanation. I can't wait to be a vampire. Then I would be in the know.
"Alice had a vision…of us," Jasper said quietly. "I know you want us to be closer. I just couldn't live with myself if I were to kill you. Edward hasn't been the only one effected by you. The whole family loves you. Even Rose…in her own unique way. You truly are the little sister I've always wanted."
"Can I give you a hug?" I asked as the tears fell silently.
Jasper held his arms open, letting me give him the hug I've always wanted to. I felt the love pouring off of him. In this moment, he truly became my brother.
"I love you Jasper. I know you worry about hurting me but I have faith in you. I believe in you," I whispered. Jasper smiled softly. I returned to my seat and returned the smile.
"I love you too Bella. We have all weekend together to prove to the rest of the family that I won't kill you. Mainly Edward. But first I believe the human needs sleep, does she not?" Jasper whispered back. I blushed. Ah yes…my over-protective boyfriend. I mean over-protective fiancé. I'm shocked he had aloud Alice to call Emmett, leaving me alone with Jasper.
I yawned involuntarily as if proving Jasper's point. I stood without responding. Jasper followed suit and together we walked up to Edward's room. Thankfully I only attempted to visit the floor once, and Jasper gracefully stopped that from happening.
"Goodnight Bella," Jasper whispered from the doorway.
"Goodnight Jasper," I whispered back.
I fell asleep mere moments after my head hit Edward's oh so soft pillows.
I wasn't asleep for long when the nightmare began. I woke up scared, screaming bloody murder. Jasper was by my side an instant later, holding me close and rubbing my back as I sobbed.
"It's okay Bella. Shh…It's okay. Edward will be home Monday," Jasper whispered.
"Jazz will you stay with me? I don't think I could handle being alone. I'll understand if it's too much for you to handle though," I whispered. I knew I would never get any sleep tonight unless someone stayed with me.
"Of course I'll stay with you Bells," Jasper whispered. I suddenly felt a lot calmer and slipped under once again.
The next time I opened my eyes the sun was streaming through Edward's window and Jasper's cold arms were still wrapped protectively around me.
"Morning Bella. How did you sleep?" Jasper asked cheerfully.
I stretched and said, "Much better. Thank you for staying with me. Was it very hard for you?"
Jasper chuckled and squeezed me gently. "Silly Bella after almost 2 years it's gotten a lot easier. Besides, I love my little sister to much to kill her."
I laughed along with him as we headed downstairs. I was starving and Edward would be pissed if I skipped breakfast.
"What would my favorite human like to eat this morning?" Jasper asked.
"Hmm…How about I hunt and you watch?" I suggested. Jasper nodded, smiling and I wondered idly if he had ever cooked a meal in his entire existence.
I went to the cupboard, grabbing my Fruit Loops. I looped over to the fridge, snatching the milk and orange juice.
As I assembled my breakfast, Jasper's phone began ringing.
"Hello Edward…Bella's fine…She's hunting up her breakfast…Umm, Fruit Loops I believe…Yes, everything is perfectly fine…Not even once…No Edward, I'm not lying. ..If I can't handle it, I'll call…I have no idea what Alice is hiding from you…Okay…Sure…Tell Alice I love her…One second," I heard Jasper say, before passing the phone to me.
I put down my spoon and spoke into the receiver, "Good morning Edward."
"Good morning love. How are you today?" Edward asked, his velvet voice making my heart skip the usual beat. Jasper chuckled on his way out. I assumed he was going back to whatever game I interrupted last night.
"I'm quite well. Jasper's on his way to being my favorite babysitter. Are you being good or is Rose on the verge of killing you again?" I asked, sipping on my orange juice.
"Emmett is keeping Rose bust so I don't annoy her. Alice and I have been alternating between hunting and watching your future but now Alice is keeping something from me. I must say, I'm very proud of Jasper…Well Alice is glaring at me so I have to go. I love you Isabella," Edward said.
"I love you too. Go bag a mountain lion for me," I said.
I finished the rest of my breakfast as soon as we hung up. I was excited to spend more time with Jasper.
As soon as I was done, I rinsed my dishes and ran into the living room. Jasper sat playing Skate 2, growling softly as he biffed it.
"Losing Jazz?" I asked mockingly. Jasper simply growled louder, causing me to laugh.
"So what would you like to do today?" I asked him as he biffed it yet again.
Jasper gently chucked the remote at the wall. It still shattered into a million pieces. I was shocked. I had never seen Jasper break anything without Emmett involved.
"Well after the dream you had last night, how about we get a trampoline?" Jasper asked. I looked at him, dumb founded. Jasper wanted to buy a TRAMPOLINE?!
"You do remember who your talking to right? This is Isabella Marie Swan, queen of the danger magnates. I can trip over NOTHING!" I reminded him.
Jasper laughed, pulling me towards the garage. "Don't worry Bells. I won't let anything happen to you. Besides, I think this is one physical activity you won't fail at."
We got into Carlisle's Mercedes and sped towards Seattle, home of the nearest Wally World. We really need to get a Wally World closer to home or maybe even a mall. Hmm…I wonder if Alice could convince someone to put a mall in like Port Angeles.
"So are you scared Bella?" Jasper asked me quietly. I sighed, knowing exactly what he was talking about.
"I'm just worried he won't love me anymore after I'm changed," I admitted, blushing deeply. My voice was barely a whisper in the wind, thankfully I was riding with a vampire.
I felt waves of reassurance pouring over me as Jasper said, "Bella nothing is going to change except you will no longer make him thirsty. Edward loves you for so much more than your blush and your heartbeat. He loves your beautiful mind though he can't hear it's marvelous secrets, your eyes that tell him what your mind won't , and your smile that some home manages to make his dead heart skip a beat. It's not just your voice that makes his heart soar, your sleep talking that entertains us all, or your clumsiness that is so heartwarming. Edward loves you for the simple reason that your YOU."
A silent tear fell from my eye as Jasper gave me a one armed hug.
"Thanks Jazz. That really means a lot to me. I'm so glad we get to spend the weekend together. Emmett would have spent the weekend laughing at me after I tripped going to bed last night," I said laughing as I wiped away the tears.
********3 LONG Hours Later********
We finally had the trampoline at home and set up, safety net included. I was staring at the monstrous creation as Jasper laughed.
"Feeling a little anxious Bella?" Jasper joked. I turned to glare at him.
"Shut up Jazz," I muttered.
Jasper picked me up and together we jumped OVER the safety net, bouncing about 6 times before we lost momentum. Stupid showoff-y vampire. Note to self: strangle him after I turn!
Oddly enough the bouncing was fun and not very hard. After a little practice, Jasper let me jump without his guidance. It was exhilarating…until I overshot a jump and went sailing into the safety net. Jasper was reading and apparently didn't sense danger in time to save me.
"So much for something I can do," I grumbled as Jasper helped me up and into the house.
"Oh Bella…" Jasper chuckled.
