“No, Jasper,” Edward said.

“I’m coming, too!” Emmett called from the couch.

“Edward, I can’t just do nothing! I have to protect Alice. She said they want to kill her, I cannot sit around and do nothing,” I told him.

I hoped I wasn’t affecting his emotions with my anger; but it didn’t seem that way.

“No,” he answered simply.

“I’m going whether you like it or not.”

“Oh, come on, Edward! Give it a rest!” Em yelled.

“Emmett! Shut up!” Edward shouted.

“No, Edward, you’re the one who should shut up,” Emmett responded.

I laughed.

“No, you shut up,” Edward told him.

“You shut up!” Em bellowed.

“Em, just shut up!”

“No, Edward, you should shut up already!”

“No, you both should shut up!” I barked.

I stepped in between them. The only way I’m not going is if Alice tells me not to.

Edward smirked and walked away. 

“No, Edward! Don’t.”

“Ha! Like I’ll listen to you!” he scoffed.

“What’s he doing?” Em asked.

I bit my bottom lip, “Going to tell Alice.”

Emmett laughed.

“Oh, wait! That means…”

“Yep, no more going to Volterra.”

“Damn kid,” Em snarled.

I snorted.

A few minutes went by. Alice walked into the room, “What the heck were you thinking!?” She stepped on my foot.

“Alice, do you really think I wouldn’t go? You said they want to kill you.”

"I want you to stay here.  I'm not going to let you get yourself hurt because of me."
