Take Off

When I walked into the house, I saw Edward sitting on the couch watching the news. He glanced at me, and narrowed his eyes. He was upset about something. I just ignored him. Ever since I became part of this family, he despised me. I didn't understand why. Sometimes I wish I was the one who could read minds. But then I would know everyone's dirty little secrets. It's hard enough trying to control everyone's emotions. So I just walked passed him, and went upstairs.

Emmett wasn't hard to find. He was up in his room drooling over my sister. Before I even opened the door I could feel the friction burning a hole right through the walls. I stopped and let out a sigh, and knocked on the door, almost busting it down. There was nothing at first so I knocked again, a little bit harder this time. "Whaat!?" Emmett groaned. "Hey, it's Jazz. Look I need to talk to you, bro." He didn't say anything back to me. There was a bang and click and the door swung open. Emmett was standing there with a red and white shirt on, and black basketball shorts.

He already knew what it was I wanted to talk about. I was thankful for once that he was my brother. He was easy to talk to, and he understood everything I was saying. Every once in a while he threw in the "I've been there done that, kiddo" line at me, like I was born just yesterday.

He put his heavy, solid hand on my shoulder. "Alright Jazz. I knew this was gonna happen sooner or later, so lets get this over with. You know how Rose gets when I keep her waiting." I let out a deep breath, thinking of how to start talking. "I was hunting, and after I drank, I started to think about what it would be like to be with a girl. Not just any girl, but, a human girl. I know that's impossible, there is no way I could be that close to a girl and not suck her veins dry." Emmett snickered. "Jazz you know that's impossible. It's not a risk, but a flat out give away. We can't have any humans knowing what we are." I blinked. "What if she was one of us? What's it like?" He smiled at me. "Why don't you find out for yourself, little bro?" My shoulders slumped. "Easy for you to say, you have the love of your life." "You just have to find her." I rolled my eyes. I was done talking, it was time for me to take a trip. "Thanks Em, I'll let you know when she magically appears into my arms." I said walking back down the stairs. "That's the spirit lil bro!" Emmett shouts back. "Tell Esme I'll be home for breakfast in the morning." "Be carful." And I was gone.
