A Game Gone Wrong
Let's put it this way, if I owned any of these characters, I wouldn't be typing on a laptop that likes to crash or twisting the story around for my own amusement
Ch 5
Bella continued walking until she reached her truck where she slumped against the front fender, all her bravery suddenly gone.
"What did I just do Jasper? Those two are all I have left of the people I love!"
3 years earlier
She walked in her front door after having spent the evening celebrating her high school graduation with the Cullens. Closing the door, she turned to the living room only to see it already crowded with people. Seated around the room was everyone she held most dear in the world, the Cullens excluded. Renee, Charlie, Jacob and Billy Black, even Angela were sitting with grim looks on their faces, waiting for her to walk through the door.
"What's going on guys?" she asked.
"Bells…" Charlie started to speak but trailed off, unsure how to start like always. When no one else seemed willing to speak, Jacob began.
"Bella we're all here as an intervention. You can't just run off with that leech and marry him. He'll kill you!" When everyone looked at him oddly, and Bella stood glaring, Billy tried to smooth things over.
"Honey, what Jake is trying to say is he'll drain the life out of you. He's no good for you and we can't just let you go with him."
"How can you all say that? Edward is the best thing that has ever happened to me!" she shouted indignantly.
"What about when he left you Bella? You nearly died and then you might as well have! You weren't here; you were a shell, a zombie! He destroyed you and then when he came back you didn't even give him a slap on the wrist before giving him another chance! You let that monster back in your life when he should have been taken out into the woods and shot for hurting my baby girl!" Charlie had finally found the words he had been looking for since Edward had come back all those months ago.
"Charlie, Dad, please. You don't know what happened." She was close to tears. Renee spoke now, her voice cracking with emotion.
"Bella, you have to make a choice. We won't watch him destroy you again. It's us, or him." Bella looked at the faces she loved most in the world incredulously. She was moved in with the Cullens by the next morning.
"Bella, they aren't the only ones left. You still have Carlisle, Esme, Emmett…even Rose in her own sort of way. And you have me too, if you want me around." She looked up into his topaz eyes and saw the sincerity held there. Slowly, a smile spread across her face.
"Of course I want you around Mr. Whitlock. Who else is going to help me make those two absolutely miserable?" Jasper grinned.
"I have no idea Ms. Swan. So how do you suggest we make them miserable first?"
"Get in." With a mischievous glint in her eye, Bella hopped into the driver's seat of her truck and headed toward town.
20 minutes later
Jasper looked at his surroundings, slightly confused.
"Bella, where are we?" She smirked.
"Don't tell me Alice never dragged you out clubbing Jazz. This little hole in the wall is my favorite club in town. It's perfect for getting over our little problems at home."
"Bella, this probably isn't a good idea…"
"Well too bad because tonight, I think it's the perfect idea, and if you don't come with me I might go completely insane. Please Jazz?" She looked up at him with those big brown eyes and he was completely helpless to refuse.
"Let's go." Her smile was big enough to outshine the moon and he was inundated with her happiness. She quickly grabbed his hand and dragged him into the little club that he now saw was named Midnight Sun.
Inside, the club was packed with people. Bella dragged him through the crush until she reached the bar on the far side. The bar tender turned around when Bella called to him.
"Sam, hey Sam!" The Alpha of the pack smiled when he saw who was calling for him.
"Bella you're back! I haven't seen you in weeks loca. How've you been?"
"Pretty suckish Sam. Can we get two shots of Jack to toast the lack of significant others?"
"Lack of? You mean you finally dumped the leech?" Jasper hissed at the term, worried that someone had heard.
"Calm down Jazz, no one heard and if they did I really doubt they'll connect the dots." Bella just nodded her head at Sam to allow him to see her affirmation. His smile got bigger and he handed over their shots.
"Congrats then Bells. Be sure to visit the Res next time you get a chance. Christmas is coming up soon." Then he turned and tended to his other patrons. Jasper took his opportunity to ask his question.
"What's Sam doing working here? Doesn't he need to patrol on the reservation?"
"Ever since Victoria was taken care of, Sam's had some spare time on his hands. He decided that Jake could handle the pack and Emily wanted a change of pace. She's working on publishing a romance novel starring a werewolf and I told her about the editor we met at the college last year. He needed money for living expenses and the wedding, so he's been working here a few nights a week for the last 3 months. Normally I'm here at least once a week but with Alice stepping up the wedding plans I haven't had time to get out here. Now come on, time to drink up!" Quickly, before he had time to ask another question, she tilted her head back and drank her shot, watching him expectantly. Shaking his head, he took the shot, grimacing at the taste.
"That tastes worst than skunk." Bella laughed and dragged him out to the dance floor.
All around them couples were dancing, if you could call it that. Jasper thought it looked more like a mating ritual, with all the bumping and grinding. Once Bella got him into the center of the floor, she seemed to realize who she was standing with.
"I uh…you don't…I mean, if you don't want to…" Jasper smiled; apparently she hadn't had enough liquid courage to ask him to dance with her like those around him. Instead of answering her fumbled attempt at a question he grabbed her hand and pulled her body close to his and began to sway his hips in time to the music.
As more songs played, and a few more shots were had, none he had to participate in thankfully, Bella began to relax and dance more freely with him. Although that probably was more of a torture for him than a good thing. The more she relaxed, the more she seemed to forget that just this morning she had been completely in love with his brother. Now her hips were grinding against his in the most delicious manner and he was having a hard time remembering that this was Bella, the innocent little human that was supposed to be his sister. And then his torture got worse as her favorite song came on.
Shawty got them apple bottom jeans
Boots with the fur, with the fur
The whole club was lookin at her
She hit the flo, she hit the flo
Next thing you know
Shawty got low low low low low low low low
Bella began to bump and grind against him with a new fervor, her ass up against him one moment and then close to the floor the next. Watching her writhe the way she was, and feeling her heat against him was becoming too much for Jasper. He grabbed her hips in an attempt to stop her but all it did was drag her hot little body closer to his.
Them baggy sweat pants
And the Reeboks with the straps [With the straps]
She turned around and gave that big booty a smack [Ayy]
She hit the flo [She hit the flo]
Next thing you know
Shawty got low low low low low low low low
Her back was to him, her hips swaying to the music, her arms wrapped around his neck. His hands had fallen into place on her hips holding her close or ready to push her away he wasn't sure. A sudden brush against him had him hard as a rock and he prayed she couldn't feel it.
I ain't never seen nuthin that'll make me go,
This crazy all night spendin my dough
Had a million dollar vibe and a bottle to go
Dem birthday cakes, they stole the show
So sexual, she was flexible
Professional, drinkin X and ooo
Hold up wait a minute, do I see what I think I
Whoa
Did I think I seen shorty get low
Ain't the same when it's up that close
Make it rain, I'm makin it snow
Work the pole, I got the bank roll
Imma say that I prefer them no clothes
I'm into that, I love women exposed
She threw it back at me, I gave her more
Cash ain't a problem, I know where it goes
He knew his wishes were useless as she began rubbing against him more frequently and the scent of her arousal reached his sensitive nose.

He spun her around after she rose back up from the ground again, bringing her face to face with him. His hands began to wander as she lost the pretense of dancing and began merely to grind herself against him. His eyes were locked on hers, lost in their own little world.
Until someone bumped into them with enough force to send Bella tumbling into him and he had to catch her. When she looked back up at him, a blush stained her cheeks. Then she saw how dark his eyes had gotten from his lust and her blush deepened.
"Maybe we should…" she trailed off, glancing at the door.
"We probably should." He recovered himself as he felt her embarrassment seeping through the lust. He offered her his arm in a gentlemanly fashion, "Come with me ma'm and I'll escort you home."
The drive back to the house was silent as each tried to work through the night in their head. When they finally made it home, the lights were all still on, but that was unsurprising considering the inhabitants. Remembering the purpose of their evening, both joined hands and entered the home smiling. Well, he was smiling. Bella was giggling and stumbling around, the alcohol in her system finally catching up to her.
After the 4th step and 4th stumble, Jasper gave up on Bella ever reaching the top of the stairs by herself. He swept her up into his arms, and a second later stood outside her bedroom door.
"Edward's not inside. He's going to be in Carlisle's study for the time being. You should get some sleep."
"Thanks Jasper. For everything." She went into the room, smiling at him before softly close the door behind her. Jasper himself was confused though. Why did her smile make his unbeating heart suddenly flutter?
A/N I apologize now for two things, one the delay on this chapter and two if it reads oddly. I wasn't sure exactly how to make this chapter work, only that I wanted Jasper to begin feeling unbrotherly feelings for Bella. Review
