I woke tangled in a bloody mess with Jasper and pushed my hair back from my face with my fingers, kissing the top of his head sweetly. His eyes opened as I did this and he smiled, "Good morning."
I smirked slightly and shook my head, "Morning Jasper."
He picked me up and I was about to protest but he put a finger to my lips, "Please?"
I sighed in resignation and rested my head on his chest, eyes closed, my arms around his neck. He carried me out to the kitchen and put me on my feet. As soon as I opened my eyes there was Jade, beaming. I cringed, "Oh god."
She danced around the small living room space and sang obnoxiously, "The two little lovers got it on last nightttt! Their screams gave me quite a fright! But that's quite alright! Cause I know that they were screaming with much orgasmic might!"
I dove over the counter and tackled her to the ground, "JADE!"
Jasper pulled me off of her, kicking and punching at air. His eyes were a little wide as he calmed me down and I glared at Jade over his shoulder. She stuck out her tongue and did a little dance. I growled, "At least I don't break a bed frame and the sound barrier every night!"
She stopped mid-laugh, "Touche."
She turned her nose up and marched out of the house, no doubt back to Darius. But, as usual she couldn't resist the last say and yelled from outside, "DON'T DO ANYTHING FUNNY WHILE I AM GONE."
I rolled my eyes and walked back into the kitchen, pulling out a box of cereal and milk. Jasper was leaned against the archway leading into the kitchen, watching me. I got out a bowl and poured my cereal and milk into it, grabbing a spoon from the drawer on my way out, "Is me making cereal that interesting?"
He followed me to the couch as I sat in front of it, eating a spoonful of cereal while flipping through the various news channels. "Yeah, it is."
He sat next to me, barely shifting my position at all as he sat, and put his arm around me. "You know the regular news won't tell you anything that's going on."
I looked up at him, "I know, but it gets my mind off of what's really happening out there."
He spoke softly, "Of what's going to happen."
His eyes were full of hurt and sadness and I stopped mid-mouthful, to put the cereal bowl down and look him in the eye. I stroked his face, "No matter what happens.. There's a reason for it. And if you're better off with me not being here.."
He interrupted, "I'd never be happy with you not here! Don't you get it Sakir? Something is going to happen and I won't be in control of doing it!"
I looked away, "I don't know what's going to happen Jasper. I don't."
He buried his face in my neck and whispered, "Sakir.."
I lifted his head up, "This is eating away at you isn't it?"
He nodded. I started to form tears in my eyes, "You can't be distracted Jasper. You can't. Not when you're fighting. I don't need you to die because of worrying about something happening to me."
He looked away and I shook my head, "You have to fight Jasper. If you don't, I'll certainly die."
His eyes were dark as he looked back at me, "And if I do, you'll certainly die."
My hands curled into fists, "Then so be it! I will not let the entire vampire race be annihilated because you can't bear to see one insignificant werewolf die!"
He stood up, "You are not insignificant! Don't you realize you are the strongest fighting force on our side?!"
I stood up too, my fists rigid at my sides, and my body seething with anger, "YES! I DO REALIZE THAT!"
I reeled myself in out of terror and sat down, looking up at him and speaking softly, "Don't you realize I can't do this without you?"
I stood up and buried my face in his chest, wrapping my arms around him, afraid that if I let go I'd lose him forever to his doubts.
