**I hope you guys are liking the story so far?? Let me know what you think! And if there's anything you wanna see in later chapters!

Jasper and Alice have volunteered to take Bella to Phoenix, knowing the tracker would follow Edward, and he needs to lead him in the opposite direction. Esme and Rose are wonderful enough to protect my father and help lead Bella's scent away from the house, as the boys try and hunt him down.

And me? I'm stuck at home. On strict orders from Alice and Jasper to not leave the house, that the Cullen's have everything under control...and it's killing me. I haven't heard from anyone since they all left, and I just have to conclude that someone will call when something happens.

It's been a day or so and still nothing, and I know they should be in Phoenix by now, knowing how Alice drives, and I cave, sending Jasper a quick text. He quickly replies with a promise to call tonight, confirming that they have made it to the desert, and I feel only a tiny bit better–my gut telling me something is going to happen... I make it back up to Jasper's room with some crisps just in time to hear my phone ringing loudly.

"Hello?" I answer breathlessly and I can hear Jasper chuckle on the other end.

"You can't have missed me that much already?" He laughs and I roll my eyes, not wanting to admit I have missed him.

"No, I was simply downstairs raiding the crisps when I heard the phone ring. I decided not to keep you waiting." I reply with a giggle, hearing him laugh at my antics, making me smile.

"Well thank you for racing upstairs. I don't know how I would've reacted being second to your crisps."  He says sarcastically, but I can hear the smile in his voice.

"Oh whatever." I roll my eyes before remembering why we're in the predicament. "How is everything?" I ask quietly, almost like I'm afraid the question will blow up in my face.

"Well, we made it here in one piece—"

"Oh please, Jasper. You drive just as fast, but instead on a motorbike. That's much more deadly in my opinion." I giggle as I hear Alice chime in, and I can practically see Jasper's eye roll, making me remember what he told me at coffee.

My head's like steel.

"Sophia enjoys it. Right Soph?" My heart flutters at the nickname, and all I can get out is a hum of agreement, making him chuckle again as I hear him move to a different room.

"Everything's alright Soph, we'll be home once we get the all clear from Edward. You've got nothing to worry about."

"I know, but I do worry because I'm here, and there's been no word on the tracker, or his red headed girlfriend..." I sigh, trying not to overthink everything, but again my gut nags at me.

"Just promise me you'll be safe? All of you?"

"Of course Sophia. I promise, we'll all be alright. Now get some sleep Love, I'll be home before you know it." I grumble as I begin to burrow myself in the sheets that smell like him.

"I hope you're right." He chuckles on the other end, causing me to smile again.

"I—Goodnight." He quickly catches himself from whatever he was going to say.

"Goodnight, Jasper." And with that we hang up, and I'm surprised to find myself quickly dozing off.

Shielding my eyes from the sudden assault of sunlight, I look around noticing I'm in my mother's neighborhood, in Phoenix. The vision quickly changes and I'm inside my mothers house, noticing where things are from the pictures in Bella's room, when suddenly I notice a dark shadow looming in the corner.

Gasping awake, not sure of what I saw entirely, I grab for my cell immediately calling Jasper in a panic for my mother.

"Sophia? Wha—?" I hear his confusion, but my panic takes over and I cut him off.

"My mother. She's in danger Jasper." Clutching the sheets closer to me, I can still see the dark figure in the corner of the room.

"Sophia? What do you mean?" He asks calmly, no doubt trying to calm me down as well, as I try to sort through what I just saw.

"I saw...I saw, someone inside my mother's house, Jasper! I thought she was gone...but someone—"

"Sophia, calm down. Your mother is fine. She's still in Florida." He reassures quickly, but I can hear confusion in his voice. "H-How did you know that? Alice just saw the same thing..." This sobers me up, still not understanding how I'm seeing the same things as Alice, but it comforts me to know I'm not totally crazy.

"I-I don't know..I was sleeping..." I trail off as I look at the time, only for my eyes to widen at the time. "And it's two in the morning...great. But Jazz, I think it's the tracker. I don't think the ruse worked." I quiet my voice as I peek through the curtains in Jasper's room, not quite sure what I'm looking for, but for something.

"I think you're right. Alice is on the phone with Edward. Hey, I need you to know that everything is going to be okay. Your mother isn't here, and we'll protect Bella okay? But I need you to stay in the house, if the red head is still there, I need you to be safe. Please."

"I'll stay here Jasper, don't worry. Just be safe." I mutter and I hear his side begin to shuffle and it seems he's dealing with the changing plans. "I'll see you soon Jasper."

"Goodbye darlin'." The line clicks dead and I snuggle back into the blankets, but sleep evades me for a couple hours, and as the sky lightens outside my eyes finally shut.

~~~

Waking the next morning to the chime of a text message, I blearily check my phone to see that it's Alice and they are on their way home, except for Edward and Bella who are still in Phoenix and Alice will fill me in when she gets home. So trudging down the stairs I am surprised to smell coffee, and it just makes me love Esme that much more.

"Good morning Esme, Rose." I smile while grabbing the wonderful liquid from the counter top, taking a tentative sip hoping not to burn my tongue.

"Good morning, Sophia dear. Sleep well?" Truthfully, I had slept like hell after my phone call with Jasper, and it didn't help that I was up until the sun began to rise.

"I slept alright. How was your night?" Not wanting to worry either woman with my strange dreams, and Rose shrugs before rolling her eyes, and I don't blame her but I am thankful for them both. "Thank you both, again for watching over my dad. I really appreciate it."

"Of course honey, we were happy to help." Esme smiles wonderfully and Rose smiles too, and I know she did a lot of this for me and not for Bella.

"So, it seems the boys are coming back today." Esme announces as I sit on one of the bar stools, and I nod absentmindedly.

"I got a text from Alice this morning, saying Bella and Edward are staying back for a while, but she'd tell me what happened when they came back." I shrug, honestly just glad that Jasper will be coming back soon. I know I should be worried for my sister, but I just can't seem to be..

Suddenly I hear the opening of the back door, just catching Esme's smile as I turn to see who I am expecting come through the door. Setting my coffee down, I'm quickly swept up into a comforting embrace, missing the strength of his arms while he was away. The scent of him envelopes me, and for a second I'm lost, unaware of the people around us, and relishing in the fact it's just us two, together again. He leans down to kiss me, but I'm suddenly spun out of his arms, a tinkling laugh flooding my ears.

"Alice." I pout, giggling slightly at the shocked betrayal presently on Jasper's face, as she wraps me in a tight hug.

"I've missed you too, you know." She throws a sassy look at me, and it makes me smile.

"I know, I missed you too. But there's was a better way of doing that." I laugh and she rolls her eyes, muttering a whatever waving me back to my expectant boyfriend.

"Gotta love her." 

I laugh as he rolls his eyes, shaking his head but not commenting on it as he leans down again for another kiss. This time succeeding in capturing my lips gently to his, and it's something I didn't realize how much I had missed. We pull  apart only when we hear Emmett wolf whistle causing my cheeks to burn red in embarrassment, and wonder if I really missed them all?
