"Why would you do this?" Jasper asks angrily as he flings open the front door. "You guys are such jackasses!"
"Dude, relax." Emmett sighs.
"Yeah, calm down." Edward adds on.
"Don't tell me to calm down! We're in deep shit because of you two!"
"Hey, we didn't know Carlisle would whoop you." Edward says with a huff.
"You don't get it, do you? The punishment is going to suck but what we did is unforgivable. We disobeyed a direct order." Jasper stresses, his brow pulled together and his muscles clenched.
"Don't give me that direct order crap. You're not in the army anymore. Give it a rest." Edward waves his hand at Jasper to dismiss his comment. "You're so damn dramatic."
"You guys lied to me! You guys tricked me into going against Carlisle's rules!"
"Jasper, listen man," Emmett says, clasping his hands on Jasper's shoulders. "I'm sorry. Truly. I thought Carlisle loosened up. I never meant to get us in so much trouble."
Emmett looks Jasper in the eyes, expecting to lighten Jasper's mood. Instead, he makes it worse. Jasper scowls at him.
"Why would you mean to get me into any trouble at all?" Jasper yells.
"Jesus Christ, shut the fuck up! We're all in trouble, army brat. You can stop acting like you have to report to a big bad Lieutenant in your stupid army." Edward groans.
"Now you're just being disrespectful." Jasper growls angrily. He tries to take a step towards Edward, but Emmett locks his arms on him to keep him away. Jasper growls louder, his lip snarling to expose his teeth. Edward takes a nervous step backwards.
"Edward, shut the hell up!" Emmett demands. "Lets all just shut up and do as Carlisle told us. We don't need anymore trouble."
"Fine." Edward mumbles. He shoves his hands in his pockets and shuffles off to his side of the entry way. Emmett Pats Jasper shoulders before doing the same. With one last warning growl before he leaves the area, Jasper goes up the steps and to the end of the hall, so he is as far away from his brothers as possible.
"Explain this!" Esme demands as she holds up Edward's phone, showing the message that was supposedly from her.
"I don't know anything about that, ma'am." Jasper answers, sitting rigidly on the living room couch. Edward slouches with a scowl and Emmett leans forward with his elbows on his knees and his head bowed.
"Edward, Emmett, explain!"
"First, Edward changed his contact information so that when I sent him a text from my phone, it showed up as Carlisle's name. And then he did the same so it came up as your name." Emmett explains.
"And what in the world would make you two think that's a good idea?"
"I don't know, Ma." Emmett sighs.
"So it was only you two who were behind the lying texts?" Esme asks, pointing her finger at Edward and Emmett.
"Unfortunately," Edward murmurs.
"Jasper, back upstairs. Now." Esme says firmly. Jasper stands, thanks Esme and hurries back to the corner he was in before Esme came downstairs and demanded to see all of them in the living room. Apparently, Carlisle gave her a call to inform her of her stolen identity, and she's far from happy. Jasper buries his face into the corner, his jaw clenched. Stupid Edward. Idiotic Emmett.
"What were you boys thinking? How dare you! I don't even know where to start!" Esme lectures. "And why in the world was it so important for you boys to tell Carlisle your spring break ideas the moment you made them? You truly have all the time in the world but no, you had to tell him right away!"
Edward and Emmett just sigh and take the lecture. They both know that arguing with her will only make her more angry and she will let Carlisle know if they gave her any trouble. And of course, the last thing they need right now is more trouble.
"And how dare you two lie to your brother? What could he have possibly done to earn that?" Esme continues.
Jasper clamps his eyes shut. She should be asking him how he could be so stupid. He should have known better, he should have thought it through. He deserves everything Carlisle dishes out and more. The ridiculous amount of rules that were broken today runs though his mind. Edward skipping school, Edward 'texting' Carlisle at work, showing up at the hospital...
Lost in indulging in his worries, Jasper doesn't even realize Carlisle arrived home until he heard the front door slam shut. Carlisle stops to the living room and gives Emmett and Edward a harsh, disappointed glare.
"I told them to stay in the corners until I came home." Carlisle says harshly to Esme. "Why aren't they there?"
"Because I told them to get on the couch so I can talk to them, Carlisle." Esme shoots back with an equally acid tone, shocking Carlisle and making all three of the boys tense. "Is that a problem?"
"Um," Carlisle says before clearing his throat. "No, of course not. Proceed."
"Thank you. Now, why don't you boys explain to Carlisle how our names ended up on fake texts."
"We changed the information on Edward's phone so your and Esme's name would pop up when I text him from my number." Emmett explains again. Carlisle sighs.
"Where's Jasper?"
"He's upstairs." Esme answers. "He's the only one who isn't completely at fault for this whole disaster. These two tricked him."
The angry couple look at Edward and Emmett with heavy sighs. Carlisle shakes his head.
"Jasper, get down here!" Carlisle demands. Jasper is in front of Carlisle in an instant, and Carlisle turns to Esme. "Can you handle these two while I take this one for a ride?"
"Of course. They may be getting their rear ends busted by me while you're out." She warns.
"Do what you have too. Jasper, you're coming with me. Go get in the Mercedes." Carlisle commands.
"Yes sir," Jasper says, ducking his head before running off. Carlisle points his finger at Edward and Emmett.
"If you giver her any trouble, I will whoop both of you into next week." He threatens before storming off.
In the garage, he notices Jasper in the back seat of the Mercedes. With a sigh, Carlisle opens the back door. He knows Jasper picked that seat in fear being disrespectful by taking the passenger seat.
"Front seat, young man." He says.
"Yes sir."
As soon as the both of them are settled in the front seats, Carlisle opens the garage door and pulls out. Jasper keeps his head down, his mind racing and his stomach twisting over his anxiety. Once they're on the road, Carlisle sighs one more time.
"Jasper, what were you thinking?"
