Disclaimer: I don't own the Twilight…
Edward P.O.V
I didn't go to school the next day not wanting to see Bella, not wanting to experience the same disappointment once again.
I'd have to go hunting soon but going outside was so…hard. Finding the energy to get up and hunt was incredibly difficult, even if I was a powerful vampire, I was compelled to do nothing.
Jasper P.O.V
It was difficult to get Alice out of the door for school, she was clearly worried about Edward, I knew that even without having to read her.
I'd decided yesterday night to ignore the human that was causing all this drama and stirring up emotions in my brother, which I'd long ago assumed to be impossible.
However by the time lunch rolled around she was impossible to ignore.
I found myself concentrating on her every move. Emmett probably would be doing the same if he and Rose weren't arguing so much.
Ever since last night when Rose cut him off, he was a bit more moody.
So, when she mentioned the slight twitch he'd just recently developed he lashed out, his twitch, ironically, getting worse as he did so.
"I do not twitch!" He yelled finally, attracting Bella's attention. I moved quickly though it was obvious she saw me. She sighed before turning her attention back to the talkie brown headed girl.
I wished I could read her mind, her sadness seemed to intensify as she glanced at us…what could that possibly mean?
"Jasper!" Emmett nudged me, surprisingly the entire cafeteria was empty, I'd never been so lost in thought before.
Rose and Alice were already gone; only the creepy cafeteria women remained, waiting for us to walk away so they could get a better look. I cringed as I looked away from them, turning my attention to Emmett.
"Rose hates me." He twitched; I tried to ignore it, pressing my lips together in a sad attempt to hide the smile that crept across my features.
"Think of it this way Emmett," I stood, not wanting to be late for class. "Rose relies on sex just as much as you…so if you hang on just a little bit longer-"
My feet froze; I'd thought so hard about it before and only got more confused but now it all made sense, Bella looked at us and her sadness intensified along with her longing.
It could only mean one thing, there was no other explanation!
We reminded her of Edward and she wanted him and apparently he wanted her no matter how weird it was. My hypothesis was starting to make sense.
If true, it would explain everything. Why he was being so secretive, why Bella was so upset with his absence…
But if he liked her and she clearly liked him why was he so upset?
Why would he like her if he was naturally even more inclined to killing her than a normal vampire would be?
"Are you even listening?!" Emmett yelled, pushing me into the lockers that lined the hallway. I frowned at the shoulder shaped dent that was now perfectly defined in locker 102. I Ignored him and nodded my head dismissively.
"So I should do it?" He asked before my mind had the chance to drift again.
"Sure." I responded with no real interest.
"Thanks…I hope this works." He ran into his classroom and I hadn't realized how stupid I was for telling Emmett to do something that I, in reality, hadn't paid attention to or even heard.
I dismissed it for the moment with more important things to focus on.
I looked around the empty hallway and took off running, going so fast that I was only a blur, it all made sense, and Edward was going to confess…no matter what.
