Chapter thirteen
Friday 7th December
Jasmine was super hyper today about it being her birthday tomorrow and her party. I have to admit i was pretty hyped up too about seeing Jasper in his uniform.
"You remember it starts at 7pm right?" Jasmine said for the fiftieth time this lesson.
"Yes, as you've told me a million times!" I said scribbling something random down about the civil war the teacher had just wrote on the board.
"And you've got a costume right?" She said grinning. I simply nodded at her.
"Wow! You in a dress...this is going to be amazing!" Jasmine said as i looked at Conner and he started to try and calm her down.
The day past quickly and soon i was headed with Jasper to his house to stay the night. Rosalie and Emmett had been invited too and she wanted to make sure i slept ok so she can Esme could attack me with make up tomorrow although i doubted either of them had been around in this time period, well actually i knew they hadn't but they wanted to attack me anyway. Esme was baking some concoction in the kitchen; i could hear the cooking channel blaring out to her as she hummed. Esme always made such an effort for me with food. There was always something in the oven baking when i was round, i made the mistake of showing her how to make chocolate chip cookies for Nessie, i swear the amount she made for me was going to make me fat!
I kicked off my shoes when we got inside and i handed my bag to jasper who disappeared only to reappear seconds later. The super speed thing was very useful at times. I skipped off into the kitchen and sat down at the breakfast bar and smiled to Esme.
"What you cooking?" I said as Jasper sat next to me. Esme was covered in flower and was smiling.
"I'm cooking a cake," She said and continued to hum to herself. I smiled and then hopped off of my stool and went to help myself to a drink of fruit juice.
Jasper dragged me upstairs to complete our homework. I stared at my math problem and my head hurt. I hated working out the points for cubic graphs from the equation of the line. I glanced up to Jasper who's pen was whizzing inhumanly fast over his page.
"Jaz?" I said hopefully crawling up from my end of the bed to sit next to him. He glanced at me and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes?" He said with a small chuckle.
"Math is evil... help me!" I said pouting slightly and giving him the best puppy dog eyes i could muster. He smiled at me and took the maths text book off me studying the questions.
"Differentiation? Ok..." He said and worked through the first problem with me showing me how everything worked and amazingly i, the person who NEVER got maths, suddenly understood it. It really was simple, how on earth i'd been confused i'd never know. Jasper really was a good tutor. I quickly worked through the other nine problems and then moved onto my chemistry homework which was easy.
Soon i was lazing around playing on my phone and watching Jasper read his book. Jasper liked to read a lot, and i swear he'd read every book. Well accept the books i read, well used to read. Vampire fiction was not any fun now i was friends with the real thing, it just seemed to silly and unrealistic i generally got bored of it on the second page if not before. I'd moved on the werewolf novels now, much to the dislike of Jasper who said they where smelly and stupid, but i just think he's jealous i'm not still obsessed with Vampires. I think it gave him a bit of a kick before to think i was fascinated by him, which i am, but i'm not going to tell him that.
I saw Jasper raise his head slightly and then turn to me.
"Esme says dinner is ready," He said closing his book, not bothering to mark the page. Jasper had like photographic memory or something, his memory was fantastic. Well his memory from before he was changed into a vampire, he had told me some of the parts he remembered from his human life, the funny bits and the happy parts. I knew there were other memories he hadn't told me but he would tell me some day if he wanted to, a man as old as him was entitled to his few private memories.
We made our way down to dinner, jasper headed off to the kitchen and i sat down in my seat only to look confused at the person opposite me. He was HUGE! No it wasn't Emmett. This boy looked to be of Native Indian heritage with short spiky black hair, about early twenties and from what i could see he wasn't wearing anything.
"Who are you?" I said doing a double take.
"I should be the one asking the questions here!" He said his face as confused as mine.
"Why aren't you wearing any freaking clothes! This is Alaska!" I said incredulously.
"What! I'm wearing pants you moron!" He said glaring at me.
"Well soooorrry! From here you look butt naked!" I said gesticulating wildly. Rosalie and Emmett walked in laughing at us.
"Wow there! Lizzie this is Jacob, he's a friend of Bella's from Washington. Jacob this is Jasper's giiiirrrrllllffrrriiieeenddd," Emmett said earning him a sharp whack on the arm from Rosalie.
"GIRLFRIEND! IT WAS FREAKING BAD ENOUGH WHEN THE ONE WITH CONTROL WAS DATING! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU LEECHES!" Jacob said groaning. I stood up and glared at him.
"Say that again..." I hissed at him glaring. He looked at me and smirked.
"What part?" He replied.
"Jacob play nice," Renesmee said running in and sitting up the table next to Jacob. The look on his face made me sick.
"Oh god he's a paedophile!" I said looking to Rosalie who just laughed.
"Says the one dating the bloodsucker," Jacob muttered with a smirk.
"One, i'm not dating Jasper, Emmett likes to joke. Two, if i hadn't have known about them you'd be in deeeeep shit right now and three look who's talking child molester!" I said holding up my fingers as i counted my points. He just grinned at me.
"Ah touché!" He said laughing.
"Don't worry Auntie Lizzie, Jake can't say much as he is a werewolf," Renesmee said smiling to me. My eyes went wide.
"THAT'S FREAKING AWESOME!" I said and he just grinned and looked to Jasper.
"Do you lot always attract the weird ones?" Jacob asked Jasper who just chuckled and sat down next to me, placing a glass of cola in front of me. I pouted to Jasper.
"I'm not weird am i?" I said giving him the puppy dog eyes; damn these puppy dog eyes were becoming a bad habit. He smiled to me and then smirked.
"After what you've let me do to you i wouldn't call you normal darling," Jasper simply said as Esme came in with our food.
I had never seen anyone eat as much as Jacob did. I mean where on earth did it go? He was like a bottomless pit. He was on his fifth plate of food by the time i got half way through my plate. Renesmee was having trouble getting the spaghetti to stay on her fork which was quite cute. I just watched in amazement as Jacob got onto his sixth plate and i had finished.
"Where does it go?" I whispered to Jasper making everyone laugh. After Jacob had finished devouring enough to feed the five thousand Esme brought in her cake which was of course decorated elaborately. She cut it up into slices for us. I took some of my slice onto my fork and ate it. It was delicious.
"mmmmmm! This is amazing Esme!" I said quickly eating more. Esme smiled seeming pleased with my reaction.
Jasper dragged me into the living room after dinner and of course there sat Jacob, taking up a whole sofa. Jasper sat down on the other sofa and i sat next to him. Jacob looked at us with a raised eyebrow.
"If you two aren't going out than i morph into a were-hamster," He said with a smirk.
"Well Hammy you better tell Emmett to build you a wheel onto the side of the house because we are not dating," I said in a sing song voice. Jacob looked at Jasper who just gave him a nod.
"Fine then what is you two? Friends with privileges or something?" Jacob said before Bella came in and dragged him out, forcefully. When she came back in she let out a sigh.
"I apologise about Jacob, unfortunately he IS usually like this and it's just something you get used to," Bella said with a sheepish smile. I just smiled and laughed.
"It's fine...it's nice to have someone other than Emmett to piss off," I said with a grin. Bella looked relieved that i wasn't pissed off and left.
I sighed and rested my head on Jasper's shoulder; i felt two arms wrap around me and his chin rest on the top of my head, i slid my arms around his middle and smiled happily.
"Why are you so happy?" He whispered into my hair. I let out a small laugh.
"Because i like to be close to you," I said softly and breathed in deeply. He smelled really good, it was a sweet smelling smell and it was addicting. I loved it. I heard him chuckle.
"That is a very weird thing to say..." He said leaning back; i was pulled so my head was rested on his chest, i began to trace patterns on his chest softly.
"Well as you said earlier...i'm not normal," I said and smiled up to him. I heard someone snort and mutter something as they walked past the door and i wondered who it was.
"Not a couple," Jasper said simply answering my thought. Jacob.
It was odd how Jasper seemed to be the magical cure for my insomnia. Every time i stayed round here i fell asleep before three am and didn't wake up until about half nine which for me was good sleeping. By the time we had watched I Am Legend and The Under Dog i was starting to fall asleep on Jasper.
"Bed time i think," Jasper said, i looked up to him sleepily and nodded. I made my way up to his room and went and changed into my night dress in the bathroom before coming back to his room and climbing into bed.
Jasper didn't stay in the room with me when i was asleep all night. For one thing it was boring and another Edward always got suspicious that he was suddenly going to become an uncle. I personally thought that what Edward thought about 24/7 was summed up in what he thought WE where doing 24/7. Which we obviously were not otherwise i'd be in deep shit.
When i woke up in the morning there was a note from Jasper on the pillow next to me saying that he and the others had gone hunting and wouldn't be too long. I yawned and got washed and dressed before i made my way down stairs and grabbed a bowl and had some cereal with milk before heading into the living room. Jacob was watching some horror film. I was going to turn around and go somewhere else when Jacob motioned for me to sit down with him. I edgily sat down next to him.
"I love the saw films," He said grinning as someone had there rib cage cut open. I whimpered and hid behind a pillow. He looked at me and started to laugh.
"You can sleep in a house full of blood sucking Vampires yet you can not watch a horror movie?" He said laughing.
"Jacob don't be mean!" A now golden eyed Bella said walking in and switched over the channel to spongebob. Renesmee smiled and sat on Jacob's lap. Jasper pried the pillow from my hands before giving me a hug. I hated horror movies, i really hated them. I hugged jasper back and was instantly calmed down. I sighed slightly and rested my forehead on his nice cool hard chest before i pulled back.
Jasper pulled me back up to his room and sat me on his bed before he looked very sheepish.
"I got you a present," He stated with a smile. I raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" I said to him looking confused.
"Well...open it and then i'll tell you," He said handing me a box wrapped in gold paper. I got excited then and quickly undid the wrapping paper and opened the box. Inside where three smaller boxes. I opened one to fine a pair of diamond and white gold earrings. My eyes went wide as i opened the other two boxes to see a matching necklace and bracelet.
"Jaz these must have cost a fortune," I whispered to him picking up the bracelet to look at it.
"Don't you like them?" He said with a small frown. I looked to him and put the box on the bed before launching at him and hugged him tight around the neck.
"I love them!"I said and kissed him lightly on the cheek, "But why?" He hugged me back and nuzzled my neck with his nose making me giggle.
"Because you didn't have any jewellery to wear with you dress for tonight," He said with a grin. I rolled my eyes and laughed hugging him again. Trust Jasper to spend a fortune for a party. I swear those earrings alone must have cost over $1000 and the price of the necklace and the bracelet i couldn't even comprehend but they truly where amazing and i loved them, like i love him.
