A.N. Hey guys! I'm trying really hard to update quickly so the next chapter will be on before Wednesday!!
BPOV
I braced myself for the impact from the floor; it never came. Two strong hands wrapped around my waist, and set me upright. I opened my eyes to see Edward smiling smugly. I adjusted my shirt, huffing.
"Thanks." I mumbled out embarrassed. He shrugged and sat back down on a log. The girl next to him eyed me curiously. I didn't recognize her but she was beautiful, her dark hair was cropped short. It flipped out complimenting her translucent-like skin.
"So…" Her child-like voice surprised me. Edward shot up.
"Bella, this my sister Alice. Alice, this is Bella." She got up, and shook my hand.
"Nice to meet you, Bella I've heard a lot about you." I cocked an eyebrow at Edward. He groaned, slapping a hand to his head. I sat down next to Edward; out of the corner of my eye I could see him openly staring at me.
"So…" I turned clasping a hand to my heart feigning being touched. "You talk about me? How cute." I pouted my lips. I acted like he didn't affect me, but in truth I was freaking out. He told his sister about me! My mind was racing, but the side of reason was winning. He probably just mentioned me as the weird girl he spent lunch with. Nothing special, right?
He rolled his emerald eyes, and glared at Alice. She stuck her tongue out at him. I giggled at their exchange. It reminded me of Emmett and me. My eyes searched the crowd for my big brother, I saw everyone in our high school except for him and Rose. I shuddered at what they must be doing.
"Oh there's Jazz!" Alice exclaimed jumping up and running towards Jasper who emerged through the crowd. As soon as he saw her, he pulled her to him and laced her fingers with his. What the fuck?!
I watched in awe as they stared directly into each other's eyes giving even me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
"Are you seriously gaping?" Edward gaffed beside me. I whipped my head; his shoulders were shaking with laughter.
"I was not, it's just that I didn't know your sister knew Jazz." I glanced back over at them. Part of me was happy for him, but the other half was seriously confused. Since when did Jasper notice girls? Ever since I could remember Jasper never spoke about liking anyone.
"Yea well he was all she could talk about on the way home. Jazzy this, Jazzy that." He said in a high-pitched voice trying to imitate Alice. I busted out laughing at his horrible impersonation. "You think that's funny?" He cocked an eyebrow. I bit my lip trying not to smile, but it was hilarious to hear tough Edward sound like a little girl. I shook my head variously, but he launched forward grabbing my sides and tickling every inch of my torso.
"Edwarddddd stopppp." I begged but he wouldn't relent. I tried to squirm out of his grasp. Damn he was so strong! His long finger continued to roam my body.
"Well, well, well you move on quick Bella." James stopped in front of Edward and me. Edward quickly dropped his hands, while I stood up.
"What do you want James?" I crossed my arms over my chest staring directly into those ice-blue eyes that I had once loved. He pushed my hair behind my ears and cupped my cheek.
"Oh Bells I think we both know what I want." I flinched away when he skimmed his nose along my jaw line.
"Is there a problem Bella?" Edward asked pulling me close to him. James clenched his jaw.
"Yea is there a problem Bella?" He said mockingly. His smug face made me want to permanently rearrange his face. James always acted so tough, picking fights in school, pulling pranks, and just being a total asshole. But the thing was that no one ever challenged him, so he thought he was untouchable.
"You know fuck you James. I told you we're over, you're a piece of shit." I spat, James became furious. He grabbed my wrist yanking me towards him.
"Listen slut…" He started. At this point everyone was staring. I could feel their eyes on me judging me. It's not I really care what anyone thinks, but they were only fueling James' ego.
"Hey back the fuck off." Edward hissed, shoving James backward so he would release my wrist. It throbbed; I winced imaging the bruise that would soon appear.
"This isn't over Cullen, bye Bella." He stalked off toward his bike and rode off into the cold black night. I felt the bile rise in my throat, everyone was still staring at me waiting for me to react. Great, the last thing I needed was for them to think that I was one of those girls who let boys fight over her.
"Bella..." Edward's arm snaked around my waist. "Are you alright?" He asked in a hushed whisper. His cool breath tickled my ear. Mmmm mint and tobacco the perfect combination, I swear they could bottle his scent it was so uniquely him. Snap out of it Bella he asked you a question!
"I'm fine." I said raising my voice. "Haven't you ever heard it's rude to stare get back to partying." I yelled at the converging crowd. I had to get out of here, I ran towards the woods in the distance. My breathing began to quicken, tears fell hot and fast down my face quickly freezing in the Forks air.
A fallen tree sat at the base of another just into the edge of the woods. I sat down pulling my knees up to my chest, letting the tears spill freely. My whole body shook, and I gave in to the hysterics. I felt someone sit down on the log beside me; they didn't speak but pulled me to their chest. They rubbed soothing circles on my back letting me completely soak their shirt. When I finally pulled myself together I finally saw who my mystery person was.
"Thanks Jazz." I said wiping a stray tear away from my face.
"Anything for you Bella, anything for you." He pulled a bottle of Jack from his jacket and poured me a shot.
