Thanks again for all your kind reviews. I hate that I can't update as quickly but thanks for bearing with me.
Also, since most of you have made a comment about it, I'm not sure of where this story is going so I'm not sure if I'm gonna make the parent's find out about what happened between Jasper and Alice but I can promise you that it won't affect Jasper's stay at the Cullen's.

Alice's POV
Four days have passed since than night and since then, Jasper has been irritating me by trying to get my attention. The first night with the lock on my door was annoying as I still struggled to get some sleep as well as everybody else in the house because Jasper had spent the whole night howling.
Even when he doesn't sleep at night, he manages to stay awake for most of the day which is spent following me every time I leave my room to get a snack. I try to pretend that he's not there but it's easier said than done when he begins to dig his nails into my skin.
That's another reason why he has started to irritate me. He's getting rather harmful because I am completely ignoring his presence. He is pinching me, grabbing my wrist tightly and even chewing my sleeve as I try to walk away from him.
Dad has caught him in the act so Jasper had spent a whole ten minutes on the mat. It was originally only going to be for three minutes but Jasper began to get lethal with dad, too and even had a screaming fit. I kind of felt bad for him. He didn't deserve this ignorant behaviour from me but it was the only way he would stop acting the way he does when he's with me.
I had to convince dad once more that I was fine when he questioned my behaviour with Jasper since he won't leave me alone. Dad's now spending every minute of his free time keeping Jasper busy just to stop him annoying me. I know that he feels like he's neglecting the rest of us with attention since Jasper has stolen it all but we're not little kids any more. A parent's attention isn't as important to us as it was when we were younger; well not for all of us anyway because I know that Edward is secretly jealous. I mean, he isn't obsessed with attention from dad but he definitely prefers it.
Lately, Jasper has been spending night times sulking in his own room with dad waiting patiently for him to fall asleep which he hasn't done so far. He says that he will soon because his lack of sleep will eventually make him feel exhausted so Jasper will have to give in and sleep. Mom and dad have tried to stop him sleeping in the day but Jasper's like a hamster; if you wake him up, he'll bite you. Okay, he hasn't exactly bitten anybody but he has nipped at Emmett's skin when he shook him awake and again when mom did the same a little later. It's like he doesn't want to hurt us so he doesn't bite but he still wants us to know that we are trying to prevent him from doing something he wants to do.
I sigh at myself as I hear whimpering by my door again. I just can't seem to catch a break. Oh well, it's one in the afternoon so Jasper's second nap is due in an hour. Jasper sleeps 5 hours a day which is 10am-12am and then 2pm-5pm but mom and dad have made it their mission to keep him awake for as long as possible during the day so he'll feel drained by night time.
I suddenly heard a loud bang and I just knew the noise was caused by Jasper throwing something at my bedroom door. So he was trying to break my door down now? And there the noise goes again. It's easy to tell when my dad is at work or not because when he's at home, Jasper stops bothering me and when dad is working, well I think you can guess where my dad is now.
"Ali! Ali open!" Jasper shouted from the other side of the door.
I just ignored him and continued to write in my notebook.
"Ali please! Me sowy"
He sounded like he was about to cry. Oh no! Please don't. That'll make me feel even worse
"Ali…Ali me need you..me sad"
His voice was getting quieter and quieter but he was sounding more and more emotional. Damn it, Alice! Ignore him!
"You not want me anymore" he mumbled quietly.
That was the last I heard of him. I couldn't even hear further movement but I was afraid to open the door to check just in case he was still there. Instead, I went back to jotting things down in my notebook.
Rosalie's POV
I noticed that Jasper had disappeared once again. It's something that he has been doing a lot lately. One minute, he's with me drawing and colouring and the next, I find him harassing Alice whether its outside her bedroom or tugging on her clothes as she comes down stairs. Why is she spending so much time in her room? That's the only reason why Jasper is acting this way. He's desperate for her attention but she isn't giving it to him; it really confuses me.
I go and search for Jasper once more, sure to find him outside of Alice's room again but he's not there.
"Jasper" I call.
Sometimes he answers but most of the time he doesn't. Oh well; it was worth a try. I find a few objects scattered on the carpet in front of Alice's door which tells me that Jasper has been here after all so where was he now?
The clue was in the thrown objects. I recognised them as the things found in my parent's room so he has either been in there or he is still in there. With a sigh, I walk towards my parent's room. Like most families, the parent's room tends to be the one place that you're not allowed in but one of the negatives of dad spending a lot of his time with Jasper is that it encourages him to look for dad in the middle of the night once he gets bored of begging for Alice's attention.
Last night, dad had left Jasper in his room after figuring out that no matter how long he was in there, Jasper wasn't going to sleep so once dad was in his own bed, Jasper had followed him in there and tugged on his arm to get him back out of bed. That's not the first night either and unfortunately it's affecting dad, too because lately he has been looking very tired.
As I walked into my parents room, I saw Jasper curled up on the bed, fighting to stay awake. His cheeks were wet and his eyes were red which means he had just been crying.
"Oh Jazz" I whispered as I move onto my parent's bed and sat beside him.
His eyes opened up a little bit more as he watched me. I ran a hand through his hair because I knew that he liked it when I did it the way a cat likes to have his fur stroked.
"You wanna tell me what's wrong?" I questioned him.
He shook his head at me and then pushed my hands away from him. He was hurting but I wasn't sure why; I just wanted him to tell me. I slowly moved my hand into his hair again but he didn't push my hand away this time. We both remained in mom and dad's room for about another ten minutes when Jasper licked his lips which is what he always does before he speaks.
"Aw you gowin to…" he stopped to think of the right word for his question before he started speaking again. "Aw you gowin to not let me in your woom no more?" He innocently asked.
I was confused at first but then I realised what he was really asking; he just wasn't familiar with many words yet. What he was really asking was 'Are you going to lock your bedroom door at night too?'
"No. You haven't given me a reason to lock you out" I answered.
It then occurred to me the real reason why Jasper was upset. It wasn't because Alice wasn't acknowledging him; it was because she was literally keeping him out. Deep down, I feel like it was more than some chewed up clothes as to why Alice wanted that lock on her door.
"What did you do Jazz?" I whispered to him.
He looked up at me curiously and then shook his head again.
"Me not do nothing" he innocently stated.
"So why doesn't Alice want to see you?" I asked him.
"Me not do nothing" Jasper repeated in a whisper.
And with that, he jumped off the bed and ran out of my parent's room. I sighed. Jasper was still rather inexperienced with life as an average human so he was still unaware of when he was doing something wrong but perhaps he really didn't do anything. I won't know until Alice tells us the truth; I knew she was hiding something. I can understand putting a lock on her door to stop Jasper from chewing things up but that didn't explain the way she was avoiding him.
Since there was no other reason for me to be in my parent's room, I walked out and looked to see where Jasper had run off to but this time, I found that he had run into my room; again, in the same position curled up on my bed. The only thing that was different this time was that the tears in his eyes were fresh.
"Me want daddy" he cried.
I suppose that was why he was firstly in my parents room; he had been waiting for the moment dad got home as being in his room would certainly get his attention. I know that mom has been trying to interact with him but although Jasper does respond every now and then, he still views her nothing more than another 'creature' living in our 'territory'. Perhaps it would help if I talk to her around him more often so he will hear me call her 'mom'; that is what made him realise who dad really was.
When Jasper was four, he wasn't clingy to neither of our parent's; it was just me so I was unsure why he preferred dad to mom. It might be because he was the first of the two who interacted with him or because he had personally offered him food first and that mom just goes along with it….or perhaps that's just it. Our family is like a wolf pack to him. Dad is the alpha male and we all listen to him. A wolf pack has an alpha female too but I guess the males still overpower them.
"Jazz, daddy's at work" I told him.
He ignored me and continued to cry. "Me want daddy! Go get daddy!" He demanded as the tears fell heavier from his cheeks.
I tried to comfort him but he kept pushing me away. His loud distressed voice alerted mom as she appeared in the doorway of my room, looking at Jasper a little worried.
"He wants dad" I whispered to her.
Mom walked towards him and crouched down in front of my bed so that she was at eye level with Jasper who was still curled up into a ball on my bed.
"Jasper sweetie, daddy will be home a little later. Do you need anything?" Mom asked gently.
"Want daddy" Jasper repeated in a mumble.
I sighed at him. I just couldn't get through to him. Why couldn't he understand that dad can't be with him every second of the day.
"Well he isn't here" I stated, sternly.
That earned me a glare from Jasper and the next thing I knew, he jumped of my bed and began to throw my things around; messing my whole room up.
"Jasper, stop" mom spoke in a stern voice.
He just pretended that he couldn't hear her as he jumped up to my dresser and smashed my mirror with his fist.
"Jasper, stop it!" I yelled at him.
I tried to move forward in an attempt to restrain him but mom pulled me back. She was aware that he could get violent when he was like this but then again, if I didn't stop him, he would hurt himself further. He had already cut open his hand.
As the glass shattered onto the floor, Jasper's attention moved onto the scattered pieces; looking rather fascinated with them. He picked up a piece and looked at it carefully. Worried that he might accidently cut himself, I moved forward and took the piece off him.
I understood what he seemed amazed with; how one big piece of glass turned into many smaller pieces.
"Oh god, your hand" I muttered as I grabbed it carefully and raised it in front of my eyes. Mom crouched beside him too and moved away the pieces of glass to avoid further injury.
"That wound may need stitches" mom commented, concerned.
"Then we have to call dad because we can't take him to the hospital" I stated.
I have no idea how that would turn out but one thing was for sure, he would only leave with more injuries than he had come in with. He was too curious around dangerous object and he would probably end up swallowing any drugs he could get a hold of and possibly use needles to defend himself with.
"I'll call him and find something to stop the bleeding" mom said before she rushed off.
Jasper was watching the blood drip from his hand and watched it curiously. It confused me because it couldn't have been the first time he saw blood drip from his body because he had a few scars on his body that made it clear that he has been hurt before.
It's almost as if Jasper had intended to get hurt just so that we could bring the Dr back home for him. Surely he wasn't that smart, was he? No, it was just a coincidence. He was going to have a lot more accidents from where that came from.
Just to let you know, were getting closer to the main chapter that I had planned from the start (The majority of this is improvised) and it will be a chapter you will hate me for. (Unless you like it when Jasper's in pain because he's gonna be in a lot of it).
I am aware that Jasper needs some serious bonding with Esme to help him realise that she is the 'mother' figure so I don't mind hearing a few suggestions if you have any.
