JPOV

I was comfortably seated in my chair, the clock ringing out the hour as I tapped my pencil on the desk. It had been what, a week since I last saw that shadow, the curve of his body, the way his hair pouffed just right, the curve of his smile as he tried to hide it so well from my knowing eyes...

My eyes watered, and I set the pencil down, turning from my essay that was due the next day. It was already midnight and I couldn't figure out what to write for it. It was supposed to be something that you've always wanted, but never could have because it was forbidden or taken from you.

Then I had an idea, and turned again toward the paper, setting to work on my essay. This is what happens when two worlds that have no idea they exist, collide...

Edward looked up at the sun, the heat baking his skin just right. I had watched him lay there on the table, his feet poised carefully. He was a god, and I was just there to watch and only think about possibilities with him. He never once told me anything about his status, where he was with boys or girls, and that really stung.

"Hey Jasper." Edward called, his glasses coming off his eyes.

I turned slightly, and met his eyes. He was going to finally tell me.

"Yeah?" I said, in the best sexy voice I could manage.

He seemed to hesitate for a second, but he changed what he was going to say.

"Could you grab me a lemonade please?"

My heart had soared when he called my name, but it was now broken on the floor, smashed like a vase.

"Sure..." I said, muttering as I went inside.

I had fallen asleep, it seemed, and the ink on my paper was ruined with drool. Frustrated, I wrinkled it up and threw it away. I wished I hadn't fallen in love with Edward Cullen. He was dead now, and I knew it. I was just seeing the shadows from his visits, sneaking inside the house.

" Jasper!"

I woke with a start, and put a shirt on, heading to the window. Edward was standing there, as smile on his face.

"Edward, what are you doing here?" I hissed, still mad at him from earlier.

"I just...couldnt sleep. I thought I would come over and stay the night."

Now that was new. I secretly smiled, gotten over the earlier arguement.

"Sure. You can sleep on the bed if you want, I've got the futon over here."

Edward seemed to frown at that, but he nodded and got into my bed. That made me happy for a while, but I made sure that Edward was asleep before getting into my bed with him.

He had an arm draped around me before I knew it, and that night he said those words I knew he wouldnt confess to me out loud.

"I love you, Jasper Hale."

He took those words to the grave, and I havent heard them since. I turned down every other guy that asked me out. I couldnt, it would remind me of him too much. So I'm single, and 19. Edward would have been 18.

I switched off the lamp light, and moved into my bed, the same one that Edward had slept in. I drifted off to sleep, and felt a breeze in my room. Funny, that window was closed.

I got up to shut it, and the wind pushed it back open. What the-?

"Jasper..." I heard my name out in the open. My eyes searched everywhere, every part of my yard, but I couldnt see who was calling me.

"Who's there?!" I called, hoping that they'd call back.

I heard nothing, so I closed the window, but it sprang back open, and in the moonlight, the persons shadow displayed on my wall.

No, it cant be. I'm dreaming.
