[[To all you team Jasper people. This for all of us:] ]]
I sat on my bed staring at the Biology homework I was SUPPOSED to be doing. And to be honest, I really didn't want to do it. Maybe Edward would do it for me in the morning…
"Hmmm" I wondered aloud, "Doubt it." I mumbled making a disgusted face as I turned the page. A moment later there was a tap at my window and then it was open and the curtain was blowing in. I got up and looked out the window wondering if it'd blown open.
But it slid up. It didn't fold out.
I frowned, my brows knit together in confusion and I turned back towards my bed.
"What I've always wanted, a beautiful boy in my bed." I smiled and laughed. Devon gave a half smile and stood up. I walked over to him carefully and he wrapped his arms around me hugging me lightly trying not to squeeze me to tight. I could hear his breath in my ear and it seemed strained. This frightened me, knowing he did not the breath but he took it anyways. I felt him kiss down from ear to my neck.
-The Woods behind Reed's House-
"Alice! Are we going to make it?" Edward cried running only a foot in front of her and about a foot behind Carlisle.
"BARELY!" Alice replied her hand in Japer's as they ran. Emmet and Rosalie ran in back while Bella had stayed home with Esme.
-Reed's Room-
I stifled a scream as I felt Devon's lips part and enclose on my neck I felt his jaw flex and his teeth part and the suddenly he was ripped away. I was frightened by then and a quiet scream escaped my lips. I was thankful my Aunt was on the first floor and I on the second. I heard a struggle on the other side of my bed and I looked over to see Emmet and Edward struggling with Devon. I took a step towards him but was pulled back a very feminine hand and a very well, unfeminine hand.
Jasper and Alice.
Carlisle stood next to Jasper his hand resting on Jasper's shoulder, his other down at his side. I watched in horror as Devon disappeared out the window. Alice sucked in a breath and Jasper released me to run to her side. She looked over at Carlisle and whispered quietly, "Denali"
"Wait… Alaska?" I whispered still in shock and to be honest I felt slightly paralyzed. I was still staring at the window when Rosalie jumped out, Emmett followed after her. I blinked and looked at Carlisle. He nodded in response to my question looked at Edward. "Will you stay with her tonight?" he asked but before he could answer Jasper said quickly, "I will." Carlisle raised an eyebrow and Alice butt in. "It'll be fine Carlisle. I saw it earlier" Carlisle nodded in approval and Jasper kissed Alice softly and whispered something in her ear ,so quick I could barely see his lips move, and then Alice quickly disappeared out the window Carlisle close behind.
I sat down on the edge of my bed and laid my head in my hands. I looked up to see Jasper as he checked out my book shelves. "If you're looking for something not for a Five year old," I stood up and walked to a box in the corner next to an old rocking chair across from my bed, "I suggest, you look in here" I pulled out several large books and a dictionary before he'd wandered over. He sat down on the opposite side of the box unspeaking.
"Is it really that hard?" I asked in a whisper. His lips parted to answer but he closed them unsure what to say. His eyes seemed deep in thought he sat as though he knew what he should say.
"It's not my place to tell another's story, but Devon has trouble," Jasper said looking at me, "More than others…" I sighed and looked out the window longingly. Sure, I was scared for my life, but I still missed him terribly for some reason.
To bad I didn't know these feelings would disappear quick.
"Is he going to come back…" I asked quietly. Jasper looked at me confused.
"You still want him back after what he did?" He asked cocking his head to the side. I nodded looking at him and biting my bottom lip. "I do" I whispered my voice cracking. I stood up and climbed into my bed. I slid under my covers and rolled so I faced the window. "Good night, Jasper" I said closing my eyes. "Good night" he replied quietly. I heard him settle into the rocking chair and I sighed quietly. I fell asleep the moment Jasper cracked open my worn copy of "Where The Red Fern Grows".
I woke up that morning to find Jasper gone. My book was resting on the chair along with two others.
"School" I groaned flopping back on my pillow. I got out of bed and headed over to my dresser pulling on a faded pair of boot cut jeans, a light blue lace edged cami, and crisp, white, undone button up. I slipped on my white flip flops and headed to my bathroom to do my hair. "Screw Makeup. To lazy" I mumbled passing the window. I fixed my hair. Well, I attempted to anyways. I ended up just brushing it out and fixing my bangs leaving the rest curly. I passed the window again on my way to grab my bag and froze.
Devon was down there.
Just standing there watching.
Watching me.
My eyes went wide and ran down the stairs my bag thrown over my shoulder. I dropped it on the porch and ran out to where he was standing in the middle of the road.
Or where he had been standing anyways. I spun in a circle thankful we were the only house out this far. People might've thought I was crazy, ha. Like I cared. "DEVON!" I screamed spinning looking for him. I stopped and saw him in my kitchen window. I ran back inside as a shiny, classic, silver Volvo stopped outside my house. By the time I got inside he was gone. "No!" I screamed sinking to my knees, I was shaking uncontrollably as Alice, Edward, Jasper, and Bella came running inside.
"He was here, He was here! I saw him! I did! I swear! HE WAS! I missed him! He was right here!" I cried as Alice hugged me tight.
"Damn it!" Edward mumbled running up the stairs to my room and the coming back down a piece of drawing paper in his hand. Hw stared at his hands holding it so tight they were crumpling the edge. I could see the drawing through the paper and I gasped. It was Devon and I. He mouth was at my neck and I was screaming my eyes closed.
I went to scream but suddenly it was like I melted. I calmed and I looked at Jasper, "Thank you" I whispered. He nodded solemnly my backpack now dangling over his shoulder. I stood after giving Alice a quick squeeze to show my appreciation and headed to the bathroom. I cleaned myself up and headed back out. Edward and Bella stood in the front doorway. Edwards arms wrapped around her waist gently and she leaned against his chest her eyes closed. Edward gave me a smile and I forced back another wave of tears. I smiled back and we headed out to the car. I slid into the back seat of the Volvo next to Alice.
"Where's Jasper?" I asked my voice strained from my screaming. "He ran ahead to tell the others." Alice replied looking over at me. I stared out the window. A flash of blonde caught my eye and I thought to myself, "Please, Edward. Please, Please, Please, speed up." Catching my thought he sped up noticeably and the blonde flash disappeared. I sighed out of relief and leaned back in the seat. The ceiling of the Volvo was much less… Blonde. I felt the Volvo stop and I looked out the window at the school parking lot. I watched as everyone else got out of the car.
Jasper hoped had been leaning against one of the trees lining the parking lot but when we pulled up he'd moved to stand in front of our parking space. Alice got out and hugged him tightly her tiny framing shaping to him. I whimpered but shoved away a fresh wave of tears. I got out of the car reluctantly and leaned against the Volvo. I watched as someone stepped out of the shiny car next to ours and saw Rosalie. What she did next surprised me beyond belief to where I thought I wouldn't be able to do anything.
She gave me a sympathetic look. I gave a sad smile and looked back at everyone else.
Bad, bad, bad mistake.
I clearly saw Devon standing at the other end of the parking lot. I cringed as he disappeared. Jasper and Edward looked at me concerned. I shook my head slightly, they had no need to worry. I'd be fine.
Right?
