Or it may be because it's Thursday...and for some unknown reason, Miracle thought it would be a good idea to drink three glasses of Mimosa at seven in the morning on Thursday.

"Just a warning, Miracle's extra...Miracle today." Sebastian said as soon as he opened the door to let the Cullens in.

The sun was shining brightly in the morning sky and it lightens up the usually dark and gloomy scenery of Forks. With that being said, the Cullens nor the Thornes are unable to go to their usual errands without the risk of the exposure of their true nature to the humans.

But that didn't mean they were just going to lock themselves in their houses and mentally kill themselves with boredom. Apparently, the drunken Miracle decided that it would be a good idea to have both families in the house in some sort of gathering.

"We figured. She sounded chirpy over the phone." Emmett said as he and the Cullens entered the Thorne Manor.

"We're clear on the Malcolm thing, right?" Olivia asked when everyone except for Miracle was gathered in the living room.

The Cullens shared knowing glances with each other, recalling the night they were informed of the rather complicated situation that Miracle had to go through in order for her to feel relatively normal again.

"Malcolm will not be mentioned around Miracle." Carlisle took it upon himself to speak for his family.

Armand gave a small, polite smile and nodded at the head of the Olympic coven. The blonde-haired vampire returned the gesture before the room was suddenly engulfed by Miracle's over-the-top enthusiasm driven by her drunken condition.

"There's my second favorite family!" Miracle exclaimed as she ran down the stairs, almost tripping over the steps before she quickly recovered herself.

"I missed you guys!" Miracle said as she approached the Cullens, going towards Alice first to give her a huge hug, which the pixie-haired girl actually enjoyed. She was the only one who was fond of such hugs.

The two pulled away from the hug and the next vampire Miracle saw was the blonde-haired goddess standing between Alice and Emmett.

"Rosie!" Miracle shrieked before pulling her into a hug as well.

The brunette girl closed her eyes and enjoyed the hug she was having with Rosalie. Maybe enjoying it a little too much.

"Uhm. Husband here." Emmett said, making his presence known to the brunette girl who wouldn't seem to let go of his wife.

"Then that makes me the mistress." Miracle stated before finally pulled away from Rosalie.

Miracle tapped her palm against Emmett's cheek gently as she gave him a bright smile.

"Hey there, Abominable Snowman." She greeted.

"I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that." Emmett replied.

Miracle simply giggled before moving on to the next Cullen.

"Creepy Emo Fairy!" Miracle exclaimed.

The Thornes and the other Cullens couldn't help but stifle their laughs at one of the many nicknames that the brunette girl had come up with for the bronze-haired vampire.

"Great. You've recovered. I liked you better when you were asleep." Edward said, referring to the time that some of them have visited Miracle at the hospital while resting.

Miracle dramatically gasped as she pointed her index finger at Edward.

"You watched me sleep?" Miracle asked with an excessive (and drunken) level of suspicion.

"No. That's not what I meant—" Edward tried to rephrase what he just said.

"You're really a creep! You-You watch girls sleep! You're a Sleep Creep! A Sleep Creep!" Miracle shrieked while she kept on pointing one of her perfectly manicured fingers at him, which was done by Olivia while she was unconscious.

"Okay, who let her drink at seven in the fucking morning?" Edward said, an unamused expression plastered across his face.

"What, a girl can't have three glasses of Mimosa with her grilled cheese sandwich for breakfast?" Miracle said, arguing with the bronze-haired vampire rather silly.

"No." Edward replied.

"Well, I didn't ask you." Miracle replied.

Edward's face was showing how done he was about dealing with the drunken Miracle and he just turned towards the honey-blonde vampire to try and keep her from getting even more annoying.

"Hello, darlin'." Jasper greeted with his sexy Southern accent rolling off his tongue and his attractive smile curling on his lips.

For a moment there, Miracle just stared at the vampire who just called her 'darlin' as if she was lost in space or rather in paradise while she admired the charms the man had. After what seemed like a couple of seconds, her awed expression was wiped off her face when she suddenly giggled and looked away, tucking some hair behind her ear in the process.

Jasper shot his eyebrows upwards while he held back his laughter at the sight of Miracle who was drunk enough to act all lovesick.

"Hi." Miracle replied with a small, sheepish wave.

"Wow, she really is drunk." Rosalie muttered.

"Can I ask you a question?" Miracle said as she gazed into the honey-blonde vampire's golden-brown eyes.

"Anything." Jasper responded.

To Jasper and everyone's surprise, Miracle grabbed Jasper's hands while she proceeded to stare at him.

"Will you..." Miracle muttered. "...be the six to my nine?"

"Okay! She's really drunk. Let's take her upstairs." Parker said before grabbing Miracle and carrying her over his shoulder, all while Miracle flimsily tried to fight back.

Jasper was left eyes wide at the girl's question while the Cullens couldn't help but almost choke on their own laughs as they tried different ways to hold back their laughter.

"Wait! But I'm the hostess! I'm the sunny day hostess!" Miracle exclaimed while she thrashed over Parker's shoulder.

Parker turned towards the rest of the girls in the room before speaking.

"Ollie, Alice, Rosie, keep Ms. Horny Ass company and keep her away from alcohol...and Jasper." Parker said before bringing Miracle up the stairs, the three girls following.

"I think I'm gonna puke." Miracle muttered when she stopped thrashing around and simply let her body as it is.

Edward laughed and patted Jasper's shoulder, who everyone thought would've been blushing if he was able to.

Armand, with his hands inside his pockets and the front of his trenchcoat under his arms, approached the honey-blonde vampire.

"Just so you know, I've read your answer." Armand said.

If Jasper had blood right now, it would have run cold at Armand's statement.

"You should change it." Armand said before turning towards Carlisle.

"Let's talk in my office." Armand told Carlisle.

"Of course." Carlisle responded before the two made their way towards the head of the Thorne family's study.

Veronica rolled her eyes at the two men before looking at Esme.

"Men." Veronica stated.

"I know." Esme said.

Veronica then gently grabbed Esme's wrist and led her towards another room.

"Come, I'll show you the garden. It's magnificent." Veronica told her as she dragged her across and out of the house, leaving Sebastian, Emmett, Edward, and Jasper to themselves.

"Let me guess," Sebastian said. "The girls will have a fashion show in Miracle's closet. Armand and Carlisle will talk about family, as usual. Ver will be babbling to Esme about the inspiration of the whole damn house. And we will just sit here and watch T.V."

"Yeah."

"Sounds about right."

"Mhm."

The three answered simultaneously before they plummeted down onto the couch and watched television while they waited for Parker to come and join them.

Upstairs in Miracle's bedroom, Parker finally settled Miracle back down on the ground while Alice and Rosalie jumped into Miracle's queen-sized bed.

"You will stay up here with the girls and you will stay away from Jasper until you're sober and not horny as fuck." Parker told her.

"Parker, I'm bi, and you're locking me in a room filled with gorgeous women." Miracle stated.

Parker crosses his arms against his chest before he responded.

"Ollie's your sister, Alice is with Sebastian, Rosalie is with Emmett. You're not getting any of them." Parker said before turning around to leave the room, all while Miracle made a face without him looking until he was out of the room.

"Oh my God, Miracle! It's like heaven in here!" Alice exclaimed.

The brunette girl turned around to see Alice wandering in her walk-in closet. Olivia, Rosalie, and Miracle made their way towards the closet.

"Ooh! We should help you pick a dress for prom!" Alice exclaimed excitedly again.

"Most of these clothes are picked out by Ver, which isn't my type." Miracle said before dropping to the cream-colored sofa placed inside.

"Don't worry, I was with Ver when she got all these." Olivia stated as she went through the dresses.

"Hmm. No wonder some of these are slutty." Miracle said, earning a wink from her sister.

"Have you established who you'll go to prom with?" Rosalie asked.

Miracle has never thought about attending prom. Yes, It would be her first prom, unlike the Cullens who have gone through high school more times than she could count. Honestly, Miracle never knew why they would repeat high school over and over again. Don't they have anything else better to do with their eternity?

"Can I go with Peter?" Miracle asked.

The three vampires shared confused glances with each other before looking back at the drunken brunette girl and asked her.

"Miracle, who's Peter?" Olivia asked.

Miracle narrowed her eyes at the blonde Thorne before she tilted her head.

"Why are you asking me? I don't know him." Miracle said, genuinely confused.

The three simply shook their heads as they laughed before proceeding to look through Miracle's wardrobe to find a dress that would be best suited for her for prom.

"Ooh! What about this?" Alice said as she took out a dark teal dress to show Miracle, only to find her sleeping soundly on the couch, her little snores resonating in their enhanced hearings.

"I guess we can do this another time." Alice just said before returning the dress back to where she got it.

Meanwhile, the boys were simply relaxing in the living room with a football game playing on the television.

"Have you asked Miracle to prom yet?" Emmett asked Jasper without their eyes wavering from the screen.

"I plan to ask her once she stops picking Rosalie over me." Jasper answered. "Apparently, it's taking a lot longer than expected."

"Well, It's hard winning over a bisexual. I mean, you already have boys to compete with, then you will also compete with girls. It's madness." Parker said.

Parker took his eyes off the screen and turned towards Jasper before speaking.

"Did you know that she was obsessed with 'Cruel Intentions' and she doesn't know who she wanted to kiss more, Sebastian or Kathryn?" Parker said.

"And the fact that the other one has the same name as me was disturbing." Sebastian said.

Parker, Edward, and Emmett couldn't help but laugh as they imagined what Sebastian must've looked like while Miracle decided who she wanted to kiss more between Sebastian and Kathryn from the 1999 movie 'Cruel Intentions'.

Everyone continued what they were doing while trapped inside the house because of the sun deciding to visit Forks that day until the sun had disappeared into the horizon.

═══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════

Miracle woke up in her bed, unlike the last time she had remembered herself, which was dozing off on the couch she had in her closet.

Her half-open hazel-brown eyes looked over to her side to see Olivia lying beside her with a book in hand.

"About time you wake up." Olivia said, setting aside the book and glancing at the brunette girl.

"Where's Alice and Rosalie?" Miracle asked.

"They're with the others downstairs. Although, Edward left because of some vision Alice had about Bella Swan being in trouble." Olivia explained.

Miracle nodded her head and was supposed to sit upright when she widened her eyes and remembered the question she asked Jasper while she was drunk.

"Oh fuck!" Miracle exclaimed before hiding herself under the thick duvet, embarrassed as hell.

"I figured you'd do that." Olivia said as she grinned amusingly at the girl.

"Why? Why did I ask that? Oh God, the mother earth needs to swallow me right now." Miracle said as she remained under the sheets, hoping that it would be enough to hide her from the world.

"Not just yet." A voice was coming from the doorway and even though Miracle wasn't looking, she already knew who it was by the sexy Southern accent that the voice possesses.

"Go away!" Miracle said.

"Okay." Olivia said.

Miracle widened her eyes before throwing the duvet off her.

"No, wait. I didn't mean you!" Miracle said as she tried to stop Olivia from leaving but she was already by the door.

She was then left with the charming honey-blonde vampire slowly strolling into her bedroom.

"Nice room." Jasper commented as he looked around.

"Thanks." Miracle just said, trying her best to not make eye contact with him.

"You're not gonna ask me to hide under the blanket with you, are you?" Jasper asked, a teasing grin curling on his lips.

Miracle shot him a glare before throwing a pillow at him, which he effortlessly caught.

"I was drunk." Miracle justified.

"I know. I like drunk Miracle." Jasper said.

Miracle rolled her eyes at the vampire as he made his way towards her, sitting down next to her while the girl still looked away from him.

"You're not gonna look at me the entire time?" Jasper asked.

"That's the plan." Miracle said.

Jasper simply smiled before bringing his hand to her chin and turning her head towards him, which Miracle couldn't resist for some reason.

Their faces were inches apart and they could see their own reflection from each other's eyes. They were too close to each other, but none of them were uncomfortable. If anything, Miracle somehow adored it.

"But you have such beautiful eyes..." Jasper whispered. "I can't stand not seeing them."

Jasper and Miracle felt the gap closing between them.

"You don't have a date to prom yet?" He whispered.

"No." She whispered back as the gap slowly continued to come to a close.

Their lips were about to touch. Miracle closed her eyes as she and Jasper continued to lean in. She knew the vampire could hear her heartbeat ramming into her chest. But she didn't care.

"Well," Jasper muttered when their lips barely touched. "Maybe Rosie could take you."

With that being said, Jasper moved away and Miracle abruptly opened her eyes, seeing the teasing grin that the honey-blonde vampire was wearing.

"You jerk!" Miracle said before throwing another pillow at him.

Jasper ducked as he got up from the bed.

"Hey, it's not my fault you kept choosing Rosie over me." Jasper said with still a grin plastered across his face.

"I don't want Rosie anymore, I want you!" Miracle exclaimed.

The grin on Jasper's face was suddenly wiped off the moment Miracle finished her sentence. Both had their eyes widened when they realized what the brunette girl just said.

Even the vampires from downstairs were shocked for a moment when they overheard the words that came out of the brunette girl's mouth.

"Hey, stop eavesdropping!" Alice told them.

It took a little more convincing for the men in the Thorne family to give them privacy considering that their little Thorne just admitted her feelings to Jasper, which means it would lead to them being together and their overprotectiveness were taking over.

But, with the help of their mates Alice, Olivia, and Veronica, they were able to let them be until the moment that Miracle and Jasper come downstairs.

"What?" Jasper asked.

Miracle struggled to get the next words out of her mouth as she stared at the equally surprised Jasper in front of her.

"I mean, I want you to take me to prom, not Rosie." Miracle said.

Jasper shook his head while going near the girl again.

"No, that's not what you meant. You said you want me." Jasper said as he approached her.

Miracle jumped off the bed while she attempted to get away from the honey-blonde vampire.

"No. You're wrong. I said, I want you to take me to prom." Miracle said.

Jasper sped towards Miracle, startling the girl when they were once again inches apart.

"You want me." Jasper repeated, a genuine smile tugging on his lips.

She swore she could feel her heart about to burst inside her chest as everything attractive about Jasper was just coming at her all at the same time. His eyes, his hairs, his smile, his voice, his body, basically everything about him was attractive.

It was as though her tongue was missing when she tried to utter a word.

"N-No, I don't." She said when she finally managed to speak.

Miracle walked around Jasper and attempted to get away from him but before she could be out of reach, Jasper grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his chest.

Without wasting another second, Jasper placed a hand on her cheek and crashed his lips into hers.

Miracle was stunned for a few seconds. She was standing so still and stiff under Jasper's grasps but eventually, her eyes fluttered close and her lips started to move in sync with his.

She felt Jasper smile against their kiss when she kissed him back, and it made him pull her more into his body, embracing her with his strong cold arms while Miracle placed her arms at the back of his neck.

Eventually, the two pulled away to let Miracle catch her breath. Their foreheads were still touching each other while they remained in each other's arms.

"Okay, maybe I want you a little bit." Miracle muttered.

Jasper softly chuckled at her breathy response.

"Does that mean you're my..." Jasper trailed off.

Miracle slightly pulled away, just enough to meet his eyes, which she swore she just saw twinkled when they gazed into each other.

"You've already kissed me and you can't even say 'girlfriend'." Miracle said, softly laughing.

Jasper laughed with her before they pulled away from each other. He simply intertwined his hand with hers before he spoke.

"We should get downstairs before they take it upon themselves to come up here for the news." Jasper said.

"You're right." Miracle said as she nodded.

They were walking out of Miracle room when she suddenly kissed him again on the lips, startling Jasper before she ran away from him, leaving the honey-blonde vampire standing there with a wide, genuine smile before running after the brunette girl.

Sorry if I haven't updated. I was really busy. But I hope that this chapter made up for it! I hope you guys enjoyed this, especially now that Jasper and Miracle are together aaaahhhh <3
