:::Jasper's POV:::
There was silence. My mind just went completely numb when sixth period rolled around. It's like she permanently nested in my head. I couldn't stop thinking about her warm smile or kind demeanor.
"You got it bad man." I turned to Emmett who had been watching me the whole time.
Rose agreed with him rolling her eyes.
"What?" We continue towards the parking lot.
"Well you've been out of it all day. I think it might be because of that pretty human girl, Eva I think is her name." Emmett concluded.
I paused. Have I really let her affect me this much?
"Jasper I'm beginning to think that maybe she might be your mate." Rose stated.
My mate? Did I finally find my missing half? Is she the one I've been waiting for?
All three of us stopped hearing the opening rift to Everlong by the Foo Fighters.
"Hello, I've waited here for you, Everlong. Tonight, I throw myself in two. Out of the red. Out of her head she sang." A beautiful melodic female voice was singing along.
I approached closer to see who it was. On top of the hood of her Chevy impala convertible was Eva. She tapped her hand to the beat with the radio blaring her music.
"Come down and waste away with me. Down with me. Slow, how you wanted it to be. I'm over my head. Out of her head she sang." Eva swayed with the music, her emotions read contentment and peace sitting out here listening, singing.
"And I wonder when I sing along with you, if everything could ever feel this real forever. If anything could ever be this good again. The only thing I'll ever ask of you, you've got to promise not to stop when I say when. She sang." Eva paused looking up seeing Rose, Emmett and I.
"Oh, sorry I didn't realize I was disturbing you." She got off the hood and turned down her radio.
"Foo Fighters rock." Emmett smiled.
"They do, its hard to believe they're Nirvana without Kurt Cobain." She smiled.
"I'm Emmett by the way. I know you've met my Rosie and Jasper already so I won't bother with that." Emmett held his hand out.
"Nice to meet you." Eva took his hand and shook it without fear.
That wasn't as surprising as Rose's change in attitude towards Eva but it was pleasant that she didn't fear Emmett despite his size.
"You seriously have a sick car. How long did it take you to get her back up and running in pristine condition?" Rose was checking out her convertible.
"I would hazard to guess about two months. I did all the work myself just about. The engine was horrible when I got ahold of her. I had to practically rebuild the engine. As for the interior my dad had a friend do that for me since I wasn't sure how to go about it. Give me an engine and tools I can do magic but don't ask me about the interior." Eva smiled.
"You like cars?" Rose looked surprise.
"Cars and motorcycles but yes I do. I can repair both if need be. My mom use to use me as an at home mechanic, same with my sister and step dad." Eva slid back on the hood sitting comfortably against the wind shield.
"So how are you liking Forks so far?" I asked her finally.
"Honestly I prefer it compared to the blistering heat in Phoenix. Also there's actually winter here instead of just warm muggy air." Eva smiled closing her eyes.
"You don't look like your sister." Emmett spoke as we all sat around Eva's car.
"I get that a lot. I inherited my mom's blue eyes and her hair. Bella got dad's eyes and hair. We're different in both looks and personality but still siblings." Eva explained.
"How so personality wise?" I asked.
"Bella... bella despite being wise beyond her years isn't the most perceptive of others feelings, especially when she's questing for the truth or trying to seem strong and independent. She sadly doesn't care about who she hurts as long as she gets her answers. She can also be a little self centered at times, and oblivious. She also kinda has no sense of self preservation once so ever..." Eva trailed off.
"Your sister sounds like she still has growing up to do." Rose scoffed.
"Oh trust me she does but she won't listen to me. All I can do is stand by and be there when she needs me." Eva sighed.
"What's you're seventh period?" Emmett asked attempting to change the subject sensing the little bit of tension that was rising.
"I have music theory. I'm excited about it too. I took it back in Phoenix and the teacher I had was a rocker just about. He'd play the electric guitar while teaching us about the different eras of music from The Beatles to Van Halen and Whitesnake." Eva paused.
"I'm sorry but I love this song." Eva reached down and turned up the radio as the opening rift to Breathe by Breaking Benjamin played.
"We'll just sit here and listen to your music." I spoke.
"You sure? Most people think it's goth." Eva scowled.
"I happen to like this type of music along side of classic rock." I spoke.
"You guys don't mind either do you?" Eva turned to Rose and Emmett.
"Not at all. I really like it actually. I'll probably ask for a list of bands later." Rose smiled.
All four of us sat back and listened to Eva's old car radio broadcasting her hard rock across the parking lot. If were any louder we'd probably be approached by an administrator, not that I or Eva cared. The more I get to know her the more layers I'm able to peel back. I'm beginning to think Emmett is right, I'm hooked on Eva. And honestly I don't think that's a bad thing. I could see myself spending the rest of eternity with her by my side. I liked this. The feeling of bliss and contentment that she induced in me. She brought out feelings that I thought I honestly didn't have once I was changed. I took a seat next to Eva on the hood of her car. She moved over making room for me.
"Sit back and let the music flow. I feel so much emotional freedom when I'm jamming." Eva hummed with her back rested against the wind shield and her eyes closed.
She really did look at peace listening to music. Rose and Emmett were looking at me the whole time with smiles. I of course basked in the fact that I was sitting so close to her right now. I wanted to drape my arm around her but fought the urge to do so. Emmett had his arm draped on Rose while they sat enjoying both the music and the company. I glanced at Eva who was humming softly along with the song.
