The Life of Julie Swan Book II

Chapter Two

I smiled as Alice burst into the room. 

"It's time!" She squealed grabbing both Bella and I's hands. 

I laughed as she pulled us downstairs to a beautiful decorated living room. On the piano was a cake that could feed about twenty people. I smiled letting go of Alice's hand and skipped over to Rose hugging her. She laughed hugging me back. I was blinded by a flash and turn to see Alice holding my camera.

"I found it in your bag." She says sheepishly.

I giggled and Rose and I posed for a cute picture. Once that was taken she turned grabbing Bella's camera from the piano and snapped a picture of Bella and Edward. 

"Happy late birthday, Ju-Ju Bean." Emmett says pulling me into a hug.

"Thanks Emmie Bear." I laughed. 

After Esme and Carlisle hugged Bella and wished her a happy birthday they walked over to me and Esme squeezed me into a tight hug.

"Happy belated birthday, dear." She smiled kissing my cheek.

Carlisle gave me a tight squeeze while wishing me a happy birthday. Alice came skipping over with a bunch of gifts in her arms. 

"Present time!" She squealed handing two flat boxes to both Bella and I.

"These ones are from Carlisle and Esme." She says.

"You girl's have been looking a little pale lately." Esme grinned. 

Bella and I go to open the gifts when she hissed I quickly look towards her. 

"Ow." She mumbled. "Paper cut."

I was pulled back towards Carlisle and Esme. It all seemed like it happened in slow motion. Edward shot his arm out throwing Bella across the room into a shelf of vases as Jasper launched to attack my sister I watched as Jasper flew through the piano before Cree and Emmett grabbed him by the arms trying to calm him down. 

I quickly rush over to Jasper gently nudging Alice out the way pressing my hands to his face. 

"Jasper shh." I whispered. "It's only a little..."

I trail off smelling human blood. I slowly turn my head as does everyone else. Bella sat on the floor holding her arm as it bled profusely. Carlisle rushed over to her to inspect it.

"Let's get Jasper out of here." I say turning back around. Cree and Emmett where stood frozen. "Now!"

They snapped out of their daze and quickly pull Jasper out and I follow after to make sure he's alright. Once we were far enough away Emmett and Cree released him. Jasper fell to his knees in front of me and pressing his face into my tummy dry sobbing. I shush him gently running my fingers through his curls. 

"Jasper, it's not your fault." I say gently. "No one blames you."

"Speak for yourself." Edward growled. 

I quickly shot my head around glaring menacingly at him. For some reason I had the idea to say one word. "Pain."

Edward fell to his knees screaming in agony as if he was tortured. I snap my eyes off of him as I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Jasper. He pulled me close to him. I turn around and bury my face in his chest. I let out a sob. What did I just do?

Jasper shushed me kissing my hair. "It's alright my darling." He says. "I think you may be a sponge."

I clutched him as I cried. He gently swayed us from side to side while kissing my hairline. Soon I finally calmed down. 

"I love you darlin'." Jasper says.

"No matter what?" I asked. 

"No matter what." He whispered. "I'll come to your room tonight."

I nodded looking up as I faintly heard Bella calling out for me. I gave Jasper one last kiss before rushing off in the direction of the house. We climb in her truck with her in the middle, Edward driving and I in the passenger seat. 

-

I walk into the house as Bella talked to Edward. I peek in the living room to see dad half asleep on the couch watching tv. I walk over and press a kiss to his head.

"Night, dad." I say before heading upstairs to bed. 

I smiled at Jasper who laid across my bed with a pained look on his face. I motion with my fingers to turn around so I could change. Once he rolled over laying face down I giggle and quickly change into just one of his tshirts and a pair of panties. I climb on top of Jasper's back running my fingers through his hair. He sighed happily before rolling over onto his back as I stayed in place on him. 

I rub my hands across his chest.

"What's wrong?" I asked gently.

"They want to leave." He whispered. "Edward I mean." 

"Don't go." I whisper looking down at my hands. 

"I have to." He sighed.

"No you don't." I shook my head. "You are you're own person and if anyone says otherwise that you have to move they can hear from me."

"Where will I stay?" He asked. "I don't want to stay in that house all alone."

"I have an idea." I say. "Call me."

I climb out of bed slipping on some basketball shorts. Jasper reluctantly does and I answer it before rushing out the room and downstairs into the living room where dad was shutting off the tv.

"Dad." I say. "I have a big favor." 

"What is it sweetheart?" He asked.

"Jasper," I say motioning to my phone that I had put it on speaker. "His family is wanting to move away but he doesn't want to leave me and he's nineteen do you think he can sleep in the spare room?" 

Dad sighed holding his hand out for the phone. I reluctantly hand it to him standing and waiting. He shooed me away so he could talk. I rolled my eyes heading to the kitchen. Soon dad enters handing me my phone.

"No funny business in my house not until you're married." He says sternly. "He'll be here tomorrow after school with his things."

I hug dad thanking him multiple times before rushing off upstairs to go to bed. I can't believe dad agreed to let Jazz move in.
