Chapter 3 Light's Out

Edwards POV

I wiped the beads of sweat from my brow as the hot sun beat down on one of the rare sunny days in Forks. My shorts clung to my legs and it was so hot that my shirt was currently nestled in the waistband of my trainers.

I could hear the cheerleaders as they practiced off to the side; yelling our fight song. I looked over and sent a wave to my sister and her friends.

"Hi Edward!" Rosalie and Alice yelled back.

All of a sudden I felt a towel whip across my back.

What the fuck?

I turned my head and saw Emmett winding up the towel again readying himself for another strike.

"If you don't stop it Emmett, I swear on all that is holy; I will kill you." I threatened glaring at him.

"You gotta want it Cullen!" Emmett yelled running alongside me. I was going to punch his fucking lights out if he kept that shit up. I looked to my right and gave him the middle finger as I continued to jog the two miles that coach had us doing.

"Come on slowpoke, hustle," he yelled.

"Fuck you Emmett!" I yelled panting. This was getting unbearable. Not only had this asshole taken my iPod so I couldn't drown him out but he had convinced the coach that it would be best if he ran with me while I completed my two miles. I picked up speed and sped down the home stretch.

Completing my miles, I bent over at the waist and pulled in lung full's of air. I really needed to get back to running or else this upcoming football season was going to kick my ass. Coach hadn't let up on us junior players. He wanted the all stars for the senior team because he as he yelled at us many times as we were going through training camp, "I smell a championship boys and it smells good."

Sometimes I thought the coach was taking more in morning coffee than creamer.

Emmett came up behind me and clapped me on the back so hard that I had to hold myself up to keep from falling over from the force.

"You asshole," I said turning to glare at him for the tenth time in the last hour.

"Come on Eddie, lighten up," he said smiling at me like he was the most fucking innocent person right now.

I grabbed my bottle of water off the bench and took a huge swig. The cool drink rushed down my throat coating it with its cool essence. I poured the other half of the bottle over my hair and face. Shaking my hair I grabbed my towel off the bench and walked towards the locker room adjacent to the field. Walking past the cheerleaders; I sent a wink to Rosalie as she stood open mouthed next to my sister as she smirked knowingly and shook her head.

I smirked and turned back around.

I loved messing with the girls of Forks High. I had somehow developed this reputation as being a ladies' man. How the hell that even came up I will never know. I hadn't dated a single girl at Forks high, well unless you count Isabella Swan Queen Bee and super bitch of the school. She used to be Alice's best friend until one summer when she came back a skank. I wouldn't be caught dead anywhere near her now. I had dated her before she became whore supreme. Her fucking pussy was probably like a revolving door now; one goes in another comes out.

And then everything changed even more and by changed I mean Alice was made the outcast by Bella when Rosalie Hale moved here two years ago. Bella grew insanely jealous because she was nothing like any of the girls in Forks. She was what some- well all, would call a goddess.

Rosalie stunned the guys with her long blonde locks that fell down her back; a body that most girls would kill for, hypnotizing blue-gray eyes and perfect skin; but along with that beauty came a bitchy attitude if you crossed her. She caused jealously among the girls for the same reasons. No girl compared to her. But the topper was the southern accent that she possessed.

She was one of the most popular girls at Forks High; knocking queen Bella off her high horse onto her ass. Alice clicked with her pretty quick sharing a love for fast cars and the latest fashions from all things Louis Vuitton. I came to know her pretty well when she frequented trips to Cullen manor. She was like my little sister now.

I walked into the locker room and pulled my shirt out of my waist band and tossed it on top of my duffle bag.

"So dude, when are you gonna set me up with Rosalie Hale?" Emmett asked from across the room.

I rolled my eyes at him. "I don't know Em, I guess you'll get with her whenever you grow the balls to ask her out yourself," I said turning back to my locker to grab my shower gel and a clean towel.

I walked over to the stall praying that Emmett would drop this conversation and move on. I needed time to think. It seems like luck wasn't on my side today because he just walked right into the stall next to mine and kept talking. I sighed cutting the shower on and wetting my hair and body trying to get all the dried sweat off.

"Edward, I could only imagine what her lips would feel like around my dick." He said in an almost moan. I visibly shuttered. I couldn't imagine any girl's mouth around my dick after the Bella incident. Hell she's probably the reason that I like guys now.

Nobody aside from my sister Alice and Rosalie know about my preferences. God, if anybody found out I would be labeled the school fag before I could say, "No, I'm not."

And having the parents that I had, Carlisle and Esme Cullen, Forks socialites, you can't afford to make mistakes. If I ever came out, it would be the biggest mistake I would ever make. I would lose everything; my family, my friends and I would never be able to play football again. I won't give up my passion because that's all I have. That may mean being forever stuck in the closet but sometimes you have to make sacrifices.

"I'm going to ask her tomorrow at lunch." Emmett yelled over the rush of water.

"You go right ahead" I said, and make an absolute fool of yourself

"Maybe, you could ask Jessica and we could double-"

"No, Emmett, you are not dragging me into your mess. You're on your own," I said scrubbing my hands over my stomach. Soap ran down my legs onto the shower floor as I gave myself one more rinse and turned the water off. I ran the towel across my damp skin picking up any excess water. Wrapping the towel around my hips, I walked out of the shower and back towards my locker to grab my clothes. Putting in the combination, I grabbed the pair of Calvin Klein's from my bag and slipping them on underneath my towel.

"Come on, you haven't had any pussy in who knows how long," he said dropping his towel right in front of me. Emmett was the perfect male specimen but he did absolutely nothing for me. I was not attracted to him in the least. I had not and would never lust after him.

Shudder

That's like lusting for your brother.

I shook my head and pulled my gym shorts up my legs, put on a Forks football T-shirt and was tying my shoes when Emmett started in again.

"Do you think you could put in a good word for me with Rosalie?" he said looking at me. My damp hair fell in my eyes as I looked him from across the room.

"Whatever Emmett," I said grabbing my duffle bag off the bench. I heard Emmett let out a quiet victory whoop. Just because I told Rosalie that Emmett wanted to date her didn't mean she was going to accept. I walked out of the locker room with him walking behind me.

"I'll see you tomorrow Em. I'm gonna go wait on Alice and Rose to be done with cheer practice," I said walking in the direction of the football field where all the girls were doing a series of round off back handspring back tucks. I sat down on the bleachers and watched in fascination as they each landed perfectly.

"Ok, Rosalie," Alice yelled, "I want you to show me your best trick. Each of the girls ran into position as Rosalie was pushed in to the air where she did a scorpion was lowered back down only to be pushed back up to do a full up, stretch, arabesque, double down. My mouth literally hung open. Damn I didn't know she could do that. Hell what she was doing was just as dangerous as what we did on the field.

"Alright girls, I think that's all for today, get some rest bitches!" Alice yelled playfully. All the girls started laughing. Alice just had that type of personality that helps her get away with that type of shit. Both girls ran over to where I was standing on the bleachers. "Ready to go?" I asked putting the strap of the duffle bag on my shoulder.

"Yeah, hey Edward I'm coming by your house. Apparently your sister wants me to teach her the new cheers," Rosalie said grabbing her bag. "Sure, the work for the captains is never done." I replied ruffling her hair. She swatted my hand away.

"Stop it asshole" She said laughing. I tossed my arm around her shoulder and we walked to the bleachers. Alice soon joined us and we walked to my truck in silence. Throwing my bag into the backseat of my silver Chevy Avalanche I waited as the girls climbed in. Shutting the door I started my truck, let the sun roof back and pulled out of the school parking lot. Alice started fiddling with the radio as we made the fifteen minute ride home. Rose was in the back seat texting on her Blackberry and Alice finally settled on a song. All of a sudden a pop song rang through the speakers…loud.

I'm a prima donna I can rule the world Don't care who's around me I can fool the world.

Alice and Rosalie started belting out the lyrics of the song at the top of their lungs. I cringed as we stopped at one of the few red lights in Forks.

I looked down at the car beside me as a hot guy with blonde hair and blue eyes looked up at me with amusement dancing in his eyes. I blushed and turned away as the song started saying "I'm prima donna"

Damn why couldn't this light change like now?

I glanced out of the corner of my eye and noticed that the boy had turned around and was facing the front with a smirk on his face. I moved my hand to the dial on the steering wheel trying to retain some of my masculinity but failed as Alice turned the radio up louder. I looked back down and saw the guy full out laughing now.

Thank god the light turned green. I took off before the guy even had time to register what was happening.

"Alice!" I yelled over the music and their singing. She turned to look at me with a look of 'You better have a good reason for interrupting or so help me god….'

"Why did you do that?" I asked looking straight ahead at the road.

"Do what?" she asked innocently.

I rolled my eyes, "You know what I'm talking about. That guy back there was laughing at me because you were blaring music that said 'Prima donna' and just because I'm gay doesn't mean I'll listen to that music." She rolled her eyes at me.

"It's not like you're ever gonna see that guy again Edward and he saw us in here," she said picking at her manicured nails.

"She's right Edward. That guy was probably jealous because you had two girls in your truck in cheerleading uniforms."

"Rosalie, that's not the poi-" I said before realizing that this was a losing battle. "Never mind."

Alice sat back in her seat with a smug smirk on her face knowing she had won.

About ten minutes later we pulled up into our driveway. The girls scrambled out of the truck before I even put it in park. Our parents weren't home yet so I unlocked the gate and the door and pulled my truck around the house to the back garage. Locking the truck I let the door down and walked to the back door.

Inside the house Alice and Rose sat at the bar drinking bottles of water. I walked to the fridge and pulled my own out.

"So how long are you staying over Rose?" I asked twisting the cap off and downing half the bottle.

She looked at her watch.

"I don't know about an hour or two. You know you don't have to drive me home Edward. I'm perfectly capable of walking-"

"I know I don't have too but I would feel better if I did. You didn't take your car today so it's the least I can do to help."

"Ok," She said. "I'll come get you when I'm ready to go."

I nodded and headed to my room with my bag tossed over my shoulder. Walking up the stairs, I felt the muscles in my legs contracting and pulling.

I really needed to start back to running again or else I would be useless to the team. The last thing that needs to happen is that I catch a cramp during a game.

Going to my room I tossed my gym bag on the plush white carpet. My room was bathed in grays, whites and blacks. The wall housed my flat screen TV that I got a few Christmas's ago and posters of college football teams took over my walls. A big glass door stood off to the side of my room overlooking the pool with my very own balcony. I opened the doors and let some of the afternoon air in. I jumped on my bed not caring whether I was messing it up or not. Grabbing my phone I checked for new phone calls as I heard Rosalie and Alice in the back yard cheering.

I must have laid there for forty minutes when I heard a sob. I rose off the bed and walked closer to the doors. I faintly heard Alice talking to Rosalie.

Was she hurt?

Should I call the doctor?

I had reached for the phone but what I heard next stopped me in my tracks.

"I can't believe they're gone. Who would do such a thing Alice?" she said crying even harder.

I couldn't quite gather exactly what happened.

I heard Alice asking her what happened effectively picking the question out of my head.

"Mom says they were murdered. God what is Jasper going to do?" she asked. I got closer to the door and peered outside. Alice was sitting on the ground with Rosalie's head on her shoulder. Tears and mascara ran down her face as she cried. Alice just patted her back and hugged her close telling her it was ok and that they would find who did this to her aunt and uncle.

Her aunt and uncle?

"Rose doesn't Jasper have any more family in Texas?" she asked.

"No, I don't think. He's living with Alec at the moment I think. It just happened two days ago. Mom say's Alec needed some time to process everything before he called with the news."

Sniffling Rosalie rose off the ground.

"I think I should go." She said wiping her face but not hiding her tears.

"Ok," Alice said dusting her skirt off and grabbing Rose in a hug.

"When are you leaving?" She asked.

"Mom's gonna talk about that when I get home," Rosalie replied. "I have no idea what's waiting for me back in Texas but I need to be strong for my cousin. I can't even imagine the pain he's feeling right now."

Alright here's the new chapter. I hope this chapter kinda equals out the last two! You got to see a bit into Edwards head so that must mean we're getting close to them meeting! *squee*

So leave me some love in review form and tell me what you think! I just want to thank my awesome wifey JLL and of course Mrs. Agget for the late night WC's ya'll rock!

Until next time my lovelies
