Jasper

As I make my way up the stairs, I hear Peter leave the bathroom toward the bedroom. Listening closer, Robyn remains in the bathroom stepping back into the spray of water. Taking a quick detour, I lean against the doorway watching Peter tug on a pair of boots. He's in a dark blue shirt with the sleeves pushed to his elbows while straightening his jeans.

"You do understand why we're being protective, right?" My voice is low. Being a vampire we don't have to scream and everyone can still hear us.

Peter looks up at me, his eyes even darker than before. He desperately needs to hunt. I hate how much he's been putting it off for both of us. Sometimes I wish I could convince him to try the animal diet, just to avoid this, but I would never force him. Both him and Robyn have been extremely supportive of my choice to continue the diet. I know Robyn only did the diet for now, too worried she could hurt someone.

"I know, Jas, it's fine." He turns his eyes in the direction of the bathroom. "I just hate leaving her. Feels like I just got her back before leaving her again."

"You aren't leaving her, Peter. You're not leaving either of us. I'll never let anything happen to her. Sometimes you need to think about yourself too." I speed to his side, fingers at his chin to lift him to me.

His eyes soften into mine, grinning up at me. "I know that, Jasper." Suddenly he leans toward me, kissing my cheek, before his lips rest at my ear. "Whatever happens, happens. You get your chance, I get mine later. I know she held back for me. She's a lot smarter than we give her credit for."

I raise an eyebrow as he sets back, resting on his heels. There's an idea of what he may be talking about, but I let it pass. Lifting my hands, I cup his face in mine. Since they found me again, we actually haven't been apart a while. Back in Texas, he'd never let his thirst get so bad. Only ever gone for a couple of hours, but I always had Robyn next to me. Then, her transformation distracted me from his absence. Now, the Volturi are after us, and I know we're not safe. If anything we've been followed since Texas. Robyn doesn't know this, but she picked up on the nervous energy from everyone earlier, demanding that Peter stay safe.

"Stay safe. Anything happens, call immediately. Don't try to fight it on your own. Promise me." Cupping his cheeks in mine, I can feel the Major pacing in the back of mind. He doesn't like Peter going even with Garrett. It's not enough protection, but I keep him back because I trust Peter. He knows that if something happens to him, it would devastate both Robyn and me.

"I promise you, both." He cheekily at me knowing that Robyn must be listening. We share a quick kiss before Garrett yells up the staircase.

"Okay, stop sucking face! Pete's not the only one hungry!"

I roll my eyes, pulling back from Peter who can't help but laugh. "Are you sure we can't take away a couple fingers from him for a while? He might behave for a little while."

Peter shakes his head at my attempt at a joke. We both know that we need Garrett. He might be a little much to deal with sometimes, but he's family. "Garrett and I will try not to be gone too long, though. I appreciate not going into detail with Robyn until I get back. Maybe you should go through the tour with her this time. I got that privilege in Texas." He surprises me once more pecking my cheek and winking. "See you soon." He grabs a hat from the closet before speeding down the stairs.
