Shattered

Seventeen

-Jasper's Point of View-

. . .

I was laying in the bed in my room, Alice had instructed us all to wear night outfits to give the illusion that we actually sleep. I put on the pajama pants, they were a thick material, I didn't like it and as I'm just up here in my room I opted out of wearing the matching top at all.

I listened with open ears as the girls interrogated Emmaline.

I liked her idea of a perfect guy, but the boys today wouldn't hold a match to her standards.

I wondered if she would end up settling for someone just so she wouldn't be alone, she shouldn't have to.

The girls went quiet and soon the house was filled with sounds of sappy music and "I love you' as the girls started watching their romance movies.

"Let's do something." My niece stated clear as day. Then Emmaline suggested a children's game with a slight twist. I listened on as everyone got up and shuffled about, not too long after a light knock rapped on my door. I got up and answered it.

"Oh." She sounded.

I listened as her hear beat accelerated, and felt as her emotions went all over the place.

I looked down at her intently, I could swear I felt her turned on for just a split second, but as quick as it came was as quick as it left. regardless that same pull deep inside me began to stir because of it.

I also couldn't help but notice her outfit of choice, 'is this what she normally wears to sleep?' I wondered as I looked at the thin clingy material of her racy pajamas. The small top only had thin straps holding it up as it showed off not only her flat stomach but her busy as well, the shorts weren't any better as they only just reached her thighs, her legs are short but very shapely.

Of course I was checking her out before I realized that she was doing the same thing to me.

"W-we're all going, um, well we're all going outside to play." She said, she then closed her eyes and shook her head, "it's gonna be cooler than it sounds."

I chuckled as I watched her look up at me and blush.

"J-just." She closed her eyes again and sighed, "just put on your shoes and come on."

"Come on in, I gotta find some sneakers." I admitted, Alice does all of the shopping but I doubt I have any sporty type shoes.

I rummaged around the closet and finally found a pair, I walked out and found her sitting in my desk chair playing with her cellphone. I was already wearing socks so I threw the shoes on and also grabbed a plain baseball T.

"Ready?" I asked.

She slowly looked at me, she seemed so unsure so I offered her a smile which she returned and jumped up from the seat. I grabbed my cellphone and put my shirt on as we made our way down the stairs.

"Took you two long enough." Emmett grumbled, he's always so competitive.

"Okay, rules first." Emmaline said getting everyone's attention. "Does everyone have their phones, you'll need it for the flashlight also if you get lost we can send someone to find you."

Nessie and Emmett ran upstairs to get their phones but the rest of us had ours.

When they returned she continued, "you gotta stay in the forest, no running back and hiding in the house, first person to get found is the next person 'it' and so forward, lastly whether you're the hider or the seeker anytime you want to quit you have to either yell or text everyone 'olley olley oxen free' that way everyone knows you give up but the game can continue without you. And that's it."
