I woke up to a room of darkness, the only light that was visible in the room was the light from the hallway. I looked down to my left where Alice lay, her head resting on my shoulder where there were no bruises. Her hand resting against my stomach, her eyes were shut and I listened to her breathing.
She looked so peaceful asleep, my arms were still wrapped around her small body. It wasn't until the moment my eyes focused in the darkened room that I noticed Alice was only wearing a tank top and a pair of shorts, and that I was only in my boxers.
Someone must have come in whilst we were asleep as I saw a blanket covering Alice as she laid onto of the bed covers that I was under. I ran my fingers through her short soft hair gently, making sure I didn't wake her. She felt a little cold, she was shivering slightly in her sleep, so I pulled the blanket that covered her around her body more to cover her body a bit more.
After a short while of me just watching her sleep, she started to move gently and her eyes slowly opened.
"Jazz" she muttered sleepily.
"Hey" I whispered into her ear softly. She lifted her head up slightly to look at me.
"How are you feeling?" she asked me.
"Better, thank you." I told her quietly, I looked at the clock on the wall and noticed the time, 12:47am. Every one would be asleep.
"What about you?" I asked her, as my eyes went back to her tired face.
"Sleepy, and a little cold." she muttered. I didn't really think when I spoke.
"Do you want to get under the covers? Its really warm under here." I offered softly. I could tell she blushed, even though the light was poor I could still see a faint red glow on her pale cheeks.
"Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you." she said sounding worried.
"No its fine, I don't bite, and I don't want you to feel cold." I said quietly.
"Ok" she muttered and she got under the covers slowly so that she didn't cause me to make any sudden movements. I wrapped my arms around her and brought her back up against my body, as I was generating a lot of heat.
"Your really warm" she muttered, I chuckled softly and pulled her even closer. Alice wrapped her arms around me again and laid her head on the pillow beside my head. Our noses almost touching. I looked deep into her angel eyes, she was so perfect it was almost impossible to believe that someone could look so beautiful. I leaned forward and kissed the end of her nose gently, Alice giggled softly and then rubbed her nose against mine playfully, I chuckled gently.
And then without thinking I pressed my lips up against hers, I pulled away slowly and looked at her surprised expression, she obviously hadn't seen that coming. My mind soon caught up with me, I could feel the blood rush up to my cheeks quickly.
"Alice I…" I was cut short as she quickly captured my lips with hers, her lips were so soft and warm. Time seemed to stand still for those short seconds until she pulled away shyly.
"I've been waiting to do that ever since I first laid my eyes on you." she whispered softly to me. I put my hand on her cheek and gently caressed her skin with my fingers before I leaned towards her slowly. I hesitated a little when there was only a few millimetres between our lips, I could feel her breath upon my lips as she breathed heavily.
Alice placed her hand on the side of my neck and pulled herself closer to me, closing the small gap between us. I parted my lips slowly and sucked on her bottom lip, I soon felt Alice part her lips to allow me entrance. My tongue slowly caressed the inside of her mouth, she tasted like strawberries, so sweet and succulent. I was in heaven, and my perfect angel was kissing me passionately.
Our kiss soon went from slow and hesitant to passionate and lustful, as Alice shifted herself so that her body was pressed up against mine. We parted for a short moment to catch our breath, and then our lips met again very quickly.
I gently rolled us over so that she was practically underneath me, her hands found their way to the back of my head pulling me deeper into our kiss. Whilst my hands went down to her waist and under her tank top, her bare stomach touched mine and I could feel a small spark as the contact of our skin made a small lustful fire inside both of us.
My thumbs rubbed her skin softly, I felt her moan quietly against my lips and I couldn't help but smile slightly.
We had to part again for more air, we looked into each others eyes whilst we tried to steady our uneven heavy breathing. I was almost gasping for air, I leant my forehead against hers gently so that I didn't hurt my head.
"Alice, tell me I'm not dreaming" I whispered to her as my breathing became even again.
"Your not dreaming" she said softly whilst smiling up at me.
"Good" I muttered before pressing my lips against hers again.
I could feel the warmth of the sun on my skin as the light shone through the open curtains, I opened my eyes slowly to let them focus properly. I looked to my side to find Alice nuzzled up against me, her head was rested on my pillow close to my neck and her hand was rested on my chest, she smiled as she slept which caused me to smile to myself.
My arms where wrapped around her waist, our legs where almost tangled together so that neither of use could move without the other knowing.
I then heard someone clear their throat quietly, my head turned to look towards the door where Alice's dad stood. He was grinning widely at me.
"Morning Jasper, sleep well?" he asked me quietly as he walked over to the bed.
"Umm yes thank you." I stuttered I was unsure about what he was going to say or ask, like why was his daughter in the same bed as me.
"Good, how are you feeling?" he asked me.
"A little better, still a bit sore though." I said trying to sit up, but I was struck with a sharp pain going up through my chest and my body collapsed back down on the bed.
"Steady Jasper, maybe sitting up isn't a good idea." he said rushing over to my side of the bed.
I groaned at the pain.
"Ah your awake" a male voice came from the door, my eyes quickly shot to where the voice came from, Emmett.
"Well I can see you and Alice have had a good night sleep" he said laughing rather loudly, causing Alice to shift next to me.
"Emmett keep your voice down, cant you see Alice is sleeping" his dad said calmly.
"Not anymore" a tired voice said from next to me, we all looked at Alice who was slowly lifting herself up and glaring over at Emmett.
"Morning sleepy head" Emmett said chuckling. Alice just groaned slightly and rubbed her eyes.
"Morning Alice" I said softly.
"Morning Jazz" she replied looking down at me as she sat up in the bed.
"Alice maybe you would like to go and fetch Jasper some breakfast whilst I just give him a quick check up." her dad said softly smiling warmly at us both.
"Ok" she said happily, then leaning down and pressing her lips against mine softly before getting up and walking out the room, with Emmett following her.
I was blushing furiously at the fact that her dad just saw her kiss me, I slowly looked over to him as he chuckled softly.
"Now I can see why she likes you so much, you make her so happy" he muttered softly before helping me sit up slowly.
"Now then, I think its time we changed those bandages of yours." he said placing a first aid kit onto the bed next to me.
"Thank you Dr Cullen, I cant thank you enough for all of this." I said politely, he smiled down at me.
"Your welcome Jasper, and please, call me Carlisle" he said softly before slowly removing the bandages that were all over my upper body.
Once all the bandages were gone I could see how terrible my cuts really were. All the cuts that were covered were still bleeding, and they looked rather deep.
"Hmm, some of these may need stitches, but most of them will heal on their own they just need a bit more time." Carlisle said softly before placing new bandages over my wounds.
"Now lets look at your head, I did put some stitches above your eyebrow when Alice and Emmett brought you round." he told me, he placed his finger against the top left of my forehead, where I winced in pain.
"Sorry" he said softly.
"Its ok, guess its still a bit tender" I said to him. We sat in silence whilst Carlisle finished putting new bandages on me, once he was done he put all his stuff away and sat down next to me on the bed and took a deep breath.
"Jasper, if its alright with you, I would like to ask you a few questions." Carlisle said to me.
"Ok" I said, I suddenly felt nervous.
"Ok, I would like to know what happened exactly. And how you ended up like this." Carlisle asked.
I was silent for a long time until I could answer, I didn't know if I could tell him I mean I knew I should tell someone. After all this has been going on for almost 7 years.
"Well, before my mother died my step dad started drinking a lot, and when ever he was angry or drunk he use to and still does, beat me." I said feeling a little ashamed of myself.
"Have you ever told anyone about this?" Carlisle asked me looking very concerned.
"No, you're the first person I've told." I admitted.
Carlisle sat there thinking before he turned to me.
"Jasper, we need to put a stop to this because one of these days your going to end up in a worse condition than what your already in. Your very lucky that you haven't got any internal bleeding." Carlisle said looking at me.
"I've had internal bleeding before, when we were living in New York. He, he kicked me with steel toe cap boots repeatedly in my stomach." I said, the pain of the memories that were being brought back.
"I just don't know what to do, I mean I know he's done this to me, and he's done it before and probably will again, but he's the only family I've got." I said, I was feeling slightly scared, now that I'd told someone something must be done, and then I'd have no one.
"I guess I'm just scared Carlisle, I mean I just feel that if I spoke to someone about this then I might be taken away from him, from Forks, from Alice." I said looking down at myself.
"Hey" a soft voice said from the doorway. I turned around to see Alice at the door with some food.
"Hey" I replied, she walked over to the bed and sat down on the other side of me, so that I was in between Alice and Carlisle.
"I couldn't help but over hear" she said softly, placing the food on the bedside table and taking my hand in hers. I looked down at our fingers as they entwined themselves. She leaned towards me and kissed my bruised cheek gently.
"Don't worry about a thing Jasper, we'll sort everything out, your old enough to take care of yourself, and if it makes things easier for you, you can stay with us for as long as you want." Carlisle said to me.
"I couldn't, you've already done this much for me…" I started.
"Yes you can, we're happy to help. You've made Alice so happy, and I know that if something worse was to happen to you she would never forgive herself. And I don't like seeing people hurt." Carlisle said. Placing his hand on my shoulder and smiling at me.
"Now, I'll give you two some privacy." he said standing up and walking to the door, he turned to give us both a warm smile before walking out the room and closing the door behind him.
"Your dad is far too kind." I said to Alice as I removed my hand from hers and placed my arm around her shoulders.
"He's always been like that, he does everything he can to help people. That's why he became a doctor, to help." she said resting her head on my shoulder and snuggling up to me.
