Prologue- "The NOTEBOOK?!"

Summary: What if Bella had to be "Babysat" by Jasper while Edward was away with the other Cullens? Jasper and Bella become friends, but there's something that happens between them. Jasper feels such pure compassion and love radiating from Bella, love for Edward; A love so sweet that when Jasper feels it from Bella, he wishes it was for him. Jasper and Alice love each other, but maybe not like Bella and Edward do. Bella realizes the many good things about Jasper, and feeling guilty and confused, they start to fall for each other.

Bella's POV

"No Edward, I'm sorry, I'm not going to agree to this, I'm NOT!" I slammed the door of my aging red truck and looked at Edward. "Edward lets be reasonable. I'm sure I'll be safe at Charlie's, I mean, how much trouble can I possibly get into while you're out?" I looked at his beautiful, carved crooked smile. "Okay, I guess with me being a magnet to destruction, I might get myself hurt BUT it's not fair to Jasper, Edward." I walked over to him and grabbed his hand then gave him a reassuring smile. He grabbed the tip of my chin lightly and caressed his lips against my cheek.

"You're blushing, love." He looked down at me, my cheeks burning with heat from his touch.

"One of the many things that happens to the human." I smiled at my own remark.

He leaned forward and whispered into my ear. "Charlie's on his way. Alice will come pick you up in an hour." Before I could analyze what he'd said, he was gone. I sighed and stomped my way to the porch. After opening the door, I heard the cruiser pull up into the driveway. I dropped my bag on the recliner in the living room and ran to the kitchen to put some spaghetti in water.

"Hey Bells, I'm home." I heard the door shut.

"Hey Dad, how was work?" I asked casually, putting the spaghetti sauce in a bowl, and then sticking it into the microwave.

"Mighty fine, everything's gone good today. Hey Bells, can I ask you something?" I heard a set of keys clanging against each other.

"Sure, I'll answer as best as I can." I turned around and reclined against the kitchen counter, getting my jeans wet. "Ugh." I ignored it then turned my attention to Charlie.

"Gee, sorry Bella, It's just curiosity." He frowned then walked over to the table and pulled a chair out then sat down.

"No, no, it's not that, I um, got my jeans wet." I turned around and sighed when I heard Charlie's reaction.

"Goodness Bella, maybe your attraction to getting hurt has to do with your luck. Phew." He chuckled.

I sighed heavily then smiled and hit my hand against my head as a gesture to my annoyance. "I think you're on to something. But anyway, what did you want to tell me, um, ask me?"

He put his gun on the table and his hat then smiled at me. "Well Bella, you know his err, Edward's, brother, what's his name… Emmett?"

"Yeah." I looked at Charlie's frown and automatically had to hold back the laughing.

"He kept prank-calling the station today, and you know how the guys down at the station react to those sorts of―" I interrupted him.

I realized that I'd been present when I accidentally recommended that Emmett prank Charlie. I guess he had too much fun to stop at that.

"Don't worry Dad, you know boys will be boys." I smirked at my own words.

"Yeah, kids to that a lot these days, but he does it every 15 minutes, has been doing it since two nights ago. That boy should have a stern talking to; Dr. Cullen must not be around to criticize him on his actions with him being a doctor and all. He's a good kid though, can't say the same for―" I interrupted him again.

"Edward and all the Cullen boys are good kids Dad. Don't worry about Emmett, he's just looking for fun. Besides, haven't you guys ever heard of caller ID, I'm pretty sure the station has one, so just block out the Cullen Residence." I shrugged and headed upstairs. "Dinner will be ready soon; I'll go pack, okay Dad?" I looked at him expecting him, and wanting him, to object. I stopped at the stairs.

"Ah, yes. Alice got a hold of the cruisers communication from the station; I guess the boys finally got Emmett to go down there." He laughed. "She said that you'll be staying at her house for some sort of sleepover. Have fun Bells!" He grabbed the news paper from across the table and began reading it.

"But Dad, it's a week long sleepover." I said casually.

"Yeah, Alice is a good girl, you guys have fun!" He looked at me for a moment then turned to his newspaper again.

I sighed and headed to my room.

I packed eight random shirts, and two pairs of jeans. The pair of sneakers Alice gave me is probably the only ones I'll need. They look more like flats than anything, they looked expensive too. If she was a mother, she'd probably be the kind who buys her daughter 80 shoes from Paris every week. I shook my head and laughed. When my bag was ready, I headed downstairs and put it on the recliner along with my school bag. Since Edward wasn't upstairs, he was probably off hunting already.

I dunked the spaghetti into a strainer then put it in a bowl and mixed it with the sauce. Charlie was still sitting there reading his news paper.

"Dinner's up." I put the bowl in the middle of the table and grabbed two porcelain plates and some forks from the silverware that Alice had bought Charlie for his birthday. The porcelain plates were from Renee'.

"So Dad, what do you want to drink?" I looked through the fridge and found a carton of Orange juice and a pitcher of lemonade.

"What's the menu for beverages Bella?" He chuckled.

"Umm, Orange juice and Lemonade." I turned my attention to him.

"Orange is fine."

I grabbed the carton of Orange juice and put it in the table along with a tall glass crystal cup. I grabbed a cup for myself and filled it with water.

We both ate in silence until there was knocking at the door. Charlie was halfway through while I was already almost done eating.

I rushed over to the door, tripping on my feet twice but avoiding impact against the floor.

As soon as I opened the door, Alice had a smile spread across her face, her inky hair was wild and shining. "You ready Bella?" Her eyes were dark; she was forcing herself.

"Umm, I guess. I looked at Charlie then turned to walk, but was stopped by Alice's hand.

"Charlie, me and Bella should get going before it gets too dark; you know there are dangerous people out at night." She put on an angelic face then smiled at Charlie.

"Bella, she's right, you better get going. I'll take care of the dishes tonight, go have fun."

Before I could react, Alice pulled my bags out of the recliner and pulled me out the door. She was driving Edwards's car, which was parked in the middle of the street, with lights on and the motor running.

"Is Edward?"

"No, he couldn't wait. It took us half an hour to convince him to let me escort you home. Leave it to Edward to be overprotective like that." She rolled her eyes while walking towards the drivers' seat, throwing my bags into the back too fast for me to see. I gulped and sat down next to her, then put on my seatbelt.

"Bella, do you mind if I go a little fast today?" She pouted. I nodded and shot her a convincing smile knowing that she was probably really thirsty, and in desperate need to go hunting. I closed my eyes through the whole time she spent driving, only feeling the vibrations of the car being driven at over 70 mph.

After about 3 minutes, the car stopped. "Were here." Her voice was high and cheerful. I shrugged and stumbled out of the Volvo. "Come on Bella, don't be so pessimistic about this, what's the worst that can happen?" I smiled at Alice and got my bags out, then slammed the door.

"Good luck Alice." I waved as she parked the car into the driveway and walked into the forest. By now, I was used to this.

I couldn't say no to Edward, he's been trying so hard and he finally found a way to be sure that he can leave me alone without me hurting myself. He can finally hunt without his biggest distraction in the way. Me.

The deal is that he would be gone for a few days every once in a while, so would stay with Jasper. I felt like a prisoner, but if it made Edward happy, I would do it.

Alice told me that Carlisle would be visiting Tanya and her clan while they were at it, so they would be back in a week. I guess Edward wouldn't go without me having a babysitter, and who better to do it than his brother?

I knocked the Cullens front door and rang the bell. Jasper probably heard my footsteps, but I rang either way.

He opened the door and smiled at me. "Hey Bella."

I entered the house and put my bags on the floor then smiled at Jasper.

Ever since a few weeks back, I and Jasper have become really good friends. He no longer needed to stay away, controlling himself was getting easier. We weren't like Alice and I are, but maybe some brother/sister bonding time would be good for us.

I looked at Jasper for a long while then walked over to the couch and gazed at the television. Jasper had been watching The Notebook, which was nearly starting.

"The NOTEBOOK?" I asked accusative.

He grinned. "I like it, is it too much of a surprise? Do I seem like Emmett to you?" He chuckled then sat beside me on the couch.

"I'm just dumbfounded is all… You know, this movie is really cheesy and I quote 'Illogical' from Edwards's perspective, but I love it. The book is even better." I store at the screen, watching the way that the boy risked his life just to get a date from the girl.

"I have all the books from Nicholas Sparks in my library. He's quite an Author." I turned to him, smiling. He surprised me every time I spoke to him.

"So what do you think of Wuthering Heights?" I smiled attentively at him and took off my shoes to sit on the sofa holding my feet.

"One of my favorite books. Although, I say that about a lot of books, so don't take my word." He grinned. His voice was like a calm swaying of the wind; it was icily sweet yet warm. He reminded me of Edward.

"So Jasper, what torturous things are in store for me in our week of bonding?" I asked laughing.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, and you have the whole week off from school," I moaned, "So I guess we'll just have to go with the flow." He laughed.

"Boo! I mean… Yeah! Double Boo!" I laughed.

"You're right; you might trip over the flow." We both laughed.

I realized that I'd been meaning to ask him something. "Hey Jasper?" I pouted. He stopped laughing then his beautiful smile turned into a frown.

"What's wrong?" He asked, looking straight at me.

"What's been going on with Alice?" I looked at my fingers, twirling around each other on my lap.

"She hasn't had a vision in two weeks, it's because she's had a lot on her mind. She's been blocking off all visions, not purposely of course, but her tiny body will keep doing it for a while, at least a few months."

I gasped.

"Don't worry, her powers aren't gone, she's not flawed, you could say she's just stressed." He patted my shoulder, smiling.

"Y-yeah. I hope she's okay though…" I frowned then turned my attention to the movie. I was thinking of Edward throughout the movie. About how much I loved him, how much I would miss him, and how I would survive through a week without him. I can't stand the thought of him leaving me, but I can't hold him down.

I wanted to kiss him, for him to hold me, and for him to break his stupid boundaries. I wouldn't get hurt, he'd never bring himself to do it. I wished that he would be here tonight to hold me while I slept, with all my heart I wanted him to be here.
