Prologue

The Party

The beats coming from the house are loud. Rattling windows can be heard the moment I step out of the car. Why the hell did I let them talk me into this? I thought to myself. Alice and Rosalie grab either of my arms and pull me closer to the house, laughing. I moan in argument and follow them up the walk, sighing in defeat as we reach the door. Alice looks at me. "Look, we came here to have fun, and we figured, since you haven't been out of your room in two weeks, other than to piss, that you would want to come. So if you want, you can just wait in the car."

I smile, defeated, and walk into the house. "Fine." The girls smile and follow me into the house.

I grab a drink off of the counter and watch the room, secretly forming a plot to get to my dorm before the girls notice I'm gone. I scan across Rosalie, and she smiles. I weakly smile back. Alice pokes my shoulder. I turn my body half-way and face her. She puts a hand on mine. "Edward, I know you just went through a breakup, and I truly am sorry. But, on the other hand, I did warn you. I told you that men think about themselves and no one else." She looked at our hands, then to my face.

I smiled, "I love you, Alice. Now go have fun." I shooed her off. She danced away, smiling. I smile and take a drink, scanning the room again. My eyes scan the room again, stopping at my roommate. I look up and down his body, easily 5' 11". Why does he have to be so damn hot? As my eyes reach his head again, I notice his amber eyes looking at me. I blush and look away. He fought his way through the crowd towards me. I didn't see when he had reached me. I only heard his voice.

"You look like your having the time of your life." He teased.

"Jacob, I really just want to go to the dorm and sleep. It's been a rough couple of weeks."

Jacob put an arm around me. "Are you ok, Cullen? You've been pretty out of it and I just left it alone, thinking you needed your space…" He paused. I looked at his silky brown hair. Everything about this boy was perfect. "Come on." Jacob had pulled me out of the house and climbed on his bike, shoving the spare helmet towards me.

"Wait, where are we going?" I interjected.

"To eat. I haven't eaten all day and I'm starving."

"But I…" I started to say, but he interrupted me.

"Edward, get on the bike, please?" Jacob had a sad puppy look on his face, his eyes shining in the street lamps. I climbed on the bike, feeling a bit guilty and nervous. Why the hell did I always let him talk me into this kind of crazy shit? I suddenly climbed off the bike.

"Maybe I'll just walk."

"No. I don't want to have to worry about you even more than I already am…" His voice trailed off and his copper skin flushed red.

"You worry about me?"

"Eddie, you're a good friend of mine. Of course I'm gonna worry. Now just get on, hold on to me tight, and I promise I'll go slow." I sighed and mumbled to myself, mostly cursing his charm. As the bike rumbled to life, I felt my grip tighten on his waist, unconsciously. He looked back and smiled. "Good boy."

He was warm. His body heat radiated through his jacket. It was almost scolding on my hands. We stopped outside of a small diner. In this town, there really wasn't much to choose from. It was this, or a rinky dink, ma and pa burger joint. Jacob let out a small chuckle. "Edward, come on. We're here. You can let go of me now." No. I protested in my head. I want to stay like this. Forever. Contradicting my thoughts, I pried my arms apart from the body I've longed to hold onto for so long. We walked up to the door, where Jacob unexpectedly held the door open for me.

I looked down, knowing I was blushing. "Thank you."

He laughed. "What? Has no one ever been nice to you before?" I wanted to tell him that the last person to open a door for me, apart from the girls that went gaga for me, was my ex-boyfriend. But I held my tongue. The waitress stared at me as she showed us to our table. We ordered our drinks and the waitress walked off. Jacob was looking into my eyes.

"Yes Jacob? You look confused."

"I'm just trying to figure you out Cullen. You have all these beautiful girls throwing themselves at you and you just bypass them. I mean come on. I would fuck that waitress in two seconds."

I rolled my eyes, trying to stay cool.

"Come on, Edward. This is why I took you away from the party. I want you to talk to me. We've been roommates for about 3 months now and we always just talk about me. You've been my psychiatrist, it's time for me to return the favor. Now talk."

"Jacob, it's not that easy."

"Sure it is. Just open your mouth like this," he stretched his mouth and I felt my dick stir, "and move your vocal chords."

I looked at the table as the waitress approached us. Thank god. She smiled sweetly to the both of us and handed us our drinks. "What can I get you guys?"

Jacob piped up before I could speak. "We'll just start off with salads. Thanks" He smiled at her. I just watched him, secretly wishing it was me he was looking at with those amazing eyes and that gorgeous smile. His eyes flitted back to me as she walked away. I continued my stare at the table. "Edward, please? If this is what it takes, I'm begging you." Jacob crawled to the floor and sat on his knees, his hands clasped together. "Please please please please please please????"

I giggled slightly and pulled on his arm. "Okay okay, Jacob, just get off the floor."

Jacob smiled and returned to his seat, putting his head in his hands, ready to listen. As I opened my mouth to talk, the waitress appeared with our salads. Saved again. She placed the bowls in front of us. "My name is Suzy. Let me know if I can get anything else for you." She smiled and walked off.

I smiled and rolled my eyes. "She's cheerful."

Jacob looked at me, worry and desperation in his eyes. "Now I want you to be. Talk"

I smiled very small and started. "Jacob, every things just going wrong. My mom and dad are constantly calling me, worrying that I've been eating. Alice is bugging me non stop about finding a bo… girlfriend. And Rosalie is just there. I can't talk to anyone about my problems because no one will understand…"

"I can try." He cut me off. Surprisingly, he had a look of true compassion in his eyes.

I smiled and looked out the window. "I worry. I worry that something is gonna happen to my parents while I'm away. I worry that Alice or Rosalie will get in with the wrong crowd. I worry that when they do finally decide on boyfriends, that they will try and hurt the girls, mentally, emotionally, or…" I swallowed hard, "physically. I just don't want to be the worry wart anymore. It must be something about being the oldest. The big brother. I don't know… I just don't know anymore…" I trailed off and looked back at Jacob, who was trying to swallow the mouthful he had so he could speak. He had a dab of ranch on his bottom lip. My instincts told me to jump across the table and lick it off. But I grabbed a napkin and wiped it off for him. "Sorry. Instinct."

Jacob smiled and nodded. "Thank you." I smiled.

Jacob looked at me. "Now tell me about this asshole that dumped you. Do I need to kick his ass?"

His question took me off guard. "How? Who? Did… I'm so gonna kill Alice."

Jacob put his fork down, just as the waitress walked back up. "Everything ok? Ready to order again?"

He smiled his amazing smile and looked back at me, mouthing the word pizza. I nodded and he told Suzy. She walked away and Jacob focused on me again. "Edward, I knew you were so close to her, so I asked her why you were so depressed. Just leave her out of it. It's not her fault."

I balled my fists. "She still had no right to tell."

Jacob looked down at his empty bowl. "You don't have to tell me anything. Only things you're comfortable with telling me."

"Jake, I didn't want you to find out like this. I was planning on telling you when the time was right. But since Alice so graciously told you for me, I guess I can explain. I dated Mike for about a year. I thought he was amazing. Not perfect though. He did have flaws. But it didn't matter because he loved me for me. Or so I thought. I was coming home from a trip out of town to see my aunt. I just couldn't wait to see him. 2 weeks of not seeing someone you love is torture on your heart. I walked into his house, using the key he gave me. As I walked up the stairs to his room, I heard the sounds of someone having sex. I laughed, thinking it was his parents. But then it hit me, I didn't see his parents car outside. I opened the door to his room, catching him fucking some slut that tried to fuck me. I couldn't believe it. I ran out of the house crying. Then I came here, thinking I would get away from it and start over. But two weeks ago, I get a call from him. I ignored it, obviously. He left a voicemail, telling me that he was transferring here, and that we should meet up." A single tear fell down my face. "That's why I haven't been out anywhere. I don't want to run into him."

Rage and sorrow filled Jacobs eyes. The waitress flitted over with our pizza. I smiled a thank you and she left. Jacob had his eyes on me. "Where is this punk staying?"

"Jacob, I don't know, nor do I care. Can we just eat please? I need to get to sleep. I have a big test tomorrow."

"Edward, if he calls you again, tell me. No one is going to hurt you like that. You may think it's weird that I care so much, but no one hurts my friends. Especially not like that."

I looked at the pizza and grabbed a piece. "Ok Jacob."

Jacob grabbed a slice. We ate in silence, as well as rode back to the dorm in silence.

As I drifted off to sleep, Jacob told me goodnight. I snuggled into my pillow.
