River Island

Eight

Thalia

There are a thousand and one ways to describe Jasper. You see Jasper is indeed many things. Most of these distinctive characteristics go with who he is. You know the fact that he is the literal 'Prince of darkness', 'Devil's incarnate', 'Evil spawn of Satan'.....the list goes on. So his menacing ways shouldn't come as a shock right? Wrong! Now, i was extremely surprised when he said he pranks people for fun. I actually found it really cute. There was this child-like gleam in his eyes. It was priceless.

Now after the first five people we pranked ended up in the ICU, I realized that Jasper is in fact out of his mind. And to some tiny extent PURE EVIL! You see there's good old pranking and then there's attempted murder. Jasper doesn't know the difference. It took a while to convince him that we should head back to the penthouse. But then he finally budged.

Right now I'm on the couch in the penthouse all snuggled up in a pink sweater and yoga pants. Jasper has stopped his whining about how I'm a total kill joy and is trying to pick a movie. Why aren't we sleeping you ask? One it's too late for that it's already 04:00 in the morning. Two, despite the fact that I am indeed tired, I have a gut feeling that if I fall asleep I will most definitely wake up back on the island. And three, Jasper is f*****g nocturnal. Even if I did go to sleep he wouldn't let me.

"I have no idea what to make you watch." Jasper said still flipping through Netflix. It really had upped it's game since the last time I heard of it.

"For the hundredth time Jasper. I don't care." I said groaning.

"Okay The Conjuring it is." He said. I winced then shook my head.

"Not a horror. I already have you giving me nightmares."

"Flattered" he said nonchalant before throwing himself on the couch next to me.

"Please pick another movie." I said as the movie started.

"Can't we do something i want for once." he pouted. Was he serious?

"Jasper we have been doing what you want the whole freaking night."

"Yeah well you kept cutting it short."

"Unbelievable!" I huffed. "Fine, we'll watch your demonic film."

He just smiled at me then leaned back on the couch. He grabs the blanket from me and wraps himself in some sort of cocoon. I glare at him but he just ignores me. His eyes glued to the screen. I give up. This guy is going to end up driving me completely insane. I could stab him. End my misery. He probably won't die.

Be nice Thalia, the guy got you off that stupid island.

True. But he won't stop irritating me. He was practically begging for attention. I get up to get another blanket from the bedroom, but when I walk in...Surprise surprise. The bed is completely bare. He's crazy. And just when you've reached the bottom of his craziness, there's a f*****g crazy underground garage. I walk back to the living room and Jasper is still on the couch, the picture of innocence. I could start an argument. But I don't. Why? Because I'm sleepy and cold and will obviously loose. So I just sigh and plop down onto the couch. Involuntarily falling asleep.

.........................

Do you know that feeling when one day you wake up and you're in this place. You're in this place where everything feels right. Your heart is calm. Your soul is lit. Your thoughts are positive. Your vision is clear. That calm serene feeling when you open your eyes and find yourself where you know you should be. Gazing at something extremely beautiful. You do? Well I have no idea what that feels like.

Why you ask? Well because I wake up on the freaking roof top covered in what i can only assume is barbecue sauce and.....drum roll please....fucking feathers. I swear I'm going to kill him. I cannot believe he did this to me. I get off the roof and into the elevator. You see, this building is filled with the rich and elite. So you can imagine their faces when they see me.

I get to our floor and get out marching straight to the penthouse. When I get there, to no one's surprise, the door is locked. I feel like I'm stuck with a five year old for the next 3 months. Unbelievable.

"Jasper!!!" I hiss banging on the door. "Jasper open this door right now."

I hear locks clicking on the other side. Then the door is opened. With a completely straight face Jasper scans me then leans against the door post.

"Yes?" He asks.

"Yes? Yes?.....that's all you're going to say."

"I want to answer your question but you seem to have a thing against the word yes." He said now trying to hide a smile. I sigh and shake my head for what feels like the hundredth time with this i***t.

"Just move so I can go take a shower." I say defeated. He smiles and steps out of my way.

I walked in and went straight to the shower to get the sticky sauce off me. When I finished showering I stepped out wrapping myself in a towel. I walked into the bedroom and found Jasper on the bed.

I then made the decision to ignore him for the rest of the day. Or year. Or as he put it 'eternity'. He turned to face me and a small smirk appeared on his face.

"Aren't we way past towels princess? I mean, I already know what you look like without one." He said.

Ignore him Thalia. Ignore him.

I walked to the closet and grabbed what to wear. I slammed it closed and walked back to the bathroom with my clothes. I locked the door but when I turned he was sitting on the tub. Ugh!

"You know locking the door is literally a waste of time." He said.

Apparently.

"Are you still mad at me?" He asked. I just folded my arms across my chest and didn't answer.

No s**t Sherlock.

"It won't last." He said laughing. "I bet you $5, you won't last an hour. Deal?"

I opened my mouth to respond saying deal but closed it immediately. I was ignoring him. He saw this and chuckled.

"Make that $1000." He said before popping out.
