Unexpected || Jasper Hale

Amelia

"Truly oblivious." I shake my head, laughing with Alice as Edward drives off with Bella. Somehow, throughout the entire time we had been doing her hair and makeup she hadn't figured out where he was taking her.

"She might hate us a bit after this." I laugh, rolling my eyes as I slip into my own dress. It was a deep emerald dress, the top half was covered in an elegant lace pattern with little rhinestones. The bottom half of the dress had a slit that went halfway up my left thigh, the ends of the dress just barely dragged across the floor as I walked, despite the three inch heels I had on.

Alice was already dressed and ready before I could get both heels on, struggling a bit with my cast.

"Here." she skips over to me, kneeling down to help.

"What would we do without you?" I laugh.

"Crash and burn." she grins, handing me my purse as we walk down the stairs.

"Jasper didn't come with Edward?" Charlie asks as we make our way into the kitchen.

"We're going to meet him at their house." I explain as he looks up, his eyes going a bit wide as he looks at us, arm in arm with stupid grins in our faces.

"You both look very lovely." he smiles.

"Thanks dad." I release Alice to hug him.

"Thank you Charlie." Alice laughs as he hugs her too.

"Well if you two are driving to your house you'd better get going. Wouldn't want to be late now would you?" he clears his throat.

"That we wouldn't. See you later dad." We wave goodbye as we walk out the door.

"Have fun! Be safe!" he yells after us as we get into Alice's car.

The drive was short as Alice flew down the streets at a speed only the Cullens would use. The whole way there Alice and I discuss how much fun the night would be.

"I may not have been to a dance before, but I don't see what Bella's so hung up on. I seriously think it will be a good night." I shrug as we pull into the driveway.

"That's because you have a little more faith in me." she shrugs.

"I think it might have just a little to do with my date." I add, knowing Jasper would be able to hear us.

"I suppose there's that."

I expect to see Jasper as soon as I'm through the front door as usual but for the first time, he wasn't there.

I look to Alice with raised eyebrows, she only shrugs and skips away.

"Ok then." I mumble to myself, making my way up towards his room. I had yet to see or hear anyone, not even Esme who was usually somewhere in the house humming something.

"Jazz? You in here?" I knock on his bedroom door but hear nothing.

"Jasper? Hello?" I peak into his room but he wasn't there.

"Emmett? Rosalie? Anyone at all?" I wander through the house clueless as to where anyone was. Even Alice had disappeared.

After another minute of wandering I get an idea.

"Worth a shot I guess." I mumble as I take a seat in the living room couch, close my eyes and focus on my breathing.

I picture Jaspers face, slowly creating a picture of him in my head. Breath in, Jasper, breath out, where are you? Breath in, I can see the sky and the trees. Breath out, I see Jasper and Emmett together, they look to be bickering. Alice and Rosalie aren't with them.
