As her eyes flutter open Olivia can hear the steady beeping coming from right above her head  and she can see the slightly blurry figure with golden locks hovering above her.

'Jasper' She sighs in content knowing that they were both okay.

"Liv." He whispers as he gently rubs her jaw with his thumb.

"Jazz." She mumbles with a closed mouth smile.

Jasper nearly beams at her smile and nickname. Glad that his last and first memory of her calling him that wouldn't be one of her bleeding to death. "Yeah, it's me Darling. I'm here."

She covers his hand with her own and squeezes it for comfort. "Where's Bella? What happened?"

He slightly straightens his back as everything replays in his mind. "Edward got there before anyone else, you were on the ground unconscious and Bella had been bitten."

Olivia frowns but he lifts her chin to force her to look at him. "Edward saved her in time, he sucked the venom out. She's not in transition"

"And James?" She holds her breath, Jasper notices because her heart monitor had started going faster. He lightly flicks her nose, reminding her to breathe.

"He's gone, for good." He promises.

She lets out a long breath as he kisses her forehead. "You scared me, I don't think I've ever been more scared in my immortal life." He softly admits.

"I'm sorry." She genuinely means it. She never wanted to hurt him, she just wanted to save her sister. Not that it helped much because her stubborn sister ended up following her anyways.

He lays his forehead on her own. "Please don't ever do that again."

"You saved me." She looks into his eyes with an adoring look. One that makes him feel like if his heart was beating he'd have a heart attack.

"Always." He gives her a crooked smile.

"Are my parents here?" She looks towards one of the chairs where she sees a familiar purse sloppily sat. She was surprised neither of them were hovering over her, not that she minded at this particular moment.

Jasper's chuckles only confuses her. "It seems Edward doesn't have your fathers favor quite yet. He won't let Edward stay in the room alone with Bella and your mother doesn't want him to hurt Edward while Bella's asleep so she's in there as well."

"My dad likes you." She beams happily.

Jasper's smile widens as he stares at her. "You're so beautiful."

For the first time ever, he sees her blush and chuckles. She smacks his arms and places both palms on the apples of her cheeks. "I think they drugged me up too much." She argues.

"Maybe." Jasper hums back in agreement and she smacks his arm.

His face turns serious. "Quite a few of your ribs are broken, you'll be bed ridden for a few weeks."

Olivia groans and places her hand on her stomach where she can feel a large bandage placed. "What about my stomach? I-I remember a piece of the mirror was stuck."

"Glass was embedded into your abdomen." He confirms apologetically.

She grabs his hand into her own and squeezes. "I'm so proud of you Jazz."

"You almost died." He deadpans. "What are you proud of?"

"You were covered in my blood, and you were okay." She reminds him. "And you're sitting in a hospital right now."

"The thought of never seeing your eyes open again was enough to curb the craving." He sighs.

Just then Renee walks into the room and smiles wildly at the sight of Olivia awake, let alone smiling and cuddling up to the blonde she had met while she was asleep.

"Oh, my Olivia." She cooes, Jasper takes a seat back on the chair as the woman comes and sits on the bed holding her hand. "Always saving your sister from her clumsiness, huh?"

"Hm?" Olivia groggily replies.

"You don't remember? Bella fell through two flights of stairs, you tried to grab her but then you both went through a window." She sighs at the thought.

"Yeah... that sounds like Bella." She responds with a small smile, Jasper replicating it.

Suddenly her face brightens up. "Oh honey, you are gonna love Jacksonville. It's sunny every day and we found the cutest little house, you and Bella have your own bathrooms."

"Mom..." Olivia interrupts. "I wanna stay in forks."

She runs a hand through her hair and sighs. "Your sister said the same thing."

"Can you go get a nurse? My head hurts." Olivia changes the subject and her mother nods, giving her a kiss on the forehead and then leaving the room with a nod to Jasper.

"Are you sure you don't want to..." Jasper begins but Olivia cuts him off with a scoff as he comes to her side once again.

"When I finally want to be near you, stay with you, you're ready to send me away?" She crosses her arms in annoyance.

Jasper chuckles at her blatant attitude and lifts her arm to kiss her hand. "Never."

"Hmph." She rolls her eyes.

"You have another visitor." Jasper announces and swiftly leaves the room.

"Jazz." She calls out in confusion but stops when Edward hesitantly comes into her sight. "Edward." She sends him a small smile.

"You want to stay as well." He concludes with an exasperated sigh.

"Is that a bad thing?" She narrows her eyes at him, annoyed.

"You Swan's are so stubborn." He scoffs as he scoots a chair to her bedside.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." She waves him off.

"You're different." His eyebrows slightly raise as he analyzes her.

"What does that mean?" She tilts her head.

"I'm not getting a headache from trying to read your mind..." His eyebrows furrow as he concentrates. "I still can't hear your thoughts but instead of a headache I feel, calm. At peace."

"Stop being a weirdo." She huffs in mock anger and he smirks when he realizes she's trying to create a false facade.

He grabs her hand in between his own in a loving way, much like a brother would. "What happened?"

She falters. "I-I realized that I didn't want to die anymore. I didn't want anyone to hurt if I were to die and I couldn't imagine leaving Jazz behind."

"You saved Bella." He admits, continuing when she sends him a confused glance. "I had to suck the venom out of her system... there was a point where I couldn't stop." He pauses. "But then your eyes finally fluttered open and you made eye contact with me and snapped me out of it."

She sends him a lazy smile. "We'll I'm glad. I would have to kick your ass if you killed my sister."

He chuckles shaking his head. "Oh, Olivia Swan. I think I'm better off not knowing what goes on inside your head."
