A/N: I do not own Twilight. All the characters belong to SM. I'm just borrowing them.

Thanks for the reviews. It's nice to know someone is enjoying.

Chapter 4

JPOV

"I told you Jasper. Stay the hell away from her. You're putting everyone in danger with this idiocy!" Edward says quickly. Only I can hear him but Bella probable knows he said something.

"I'm not putting anyone in danger by being with her. If anything they're in less danger with me as calm as I was." I growl. Edward doesn't seem to care about my happiness though. If it wasn't for him always being so negative I might be able to do much better.

"You disregarding the fact that you're thirsty is not safe! It's extremely dangerous!" Edward growls back at me.

"I'm not disregarding it. It's just not as prominent when she's around." I say, realizing his misconception. He looks surprised for a second then he turns and walks away. I sense jealousy from him.

"Stay away from her." He says over his shoulder. I rush and just make it in time for my fourth hour.

EPOV

I can't believe this! She's my singer and yet she relieves his thirst. Makes it less prominent! That's just unfair. Not to mention the silence I hear from her. And I'm sure he would have at least thought about it if he wasn't getting anything from her either. I make it to class just before the bell rings. The teacher isn't here yet.

I normally sit alone at my table in biology, but today that changes it seems. The only empty seat in the class is next to me, so guess where Bella gets to sit. Let's hope this comes in handy. Danm her scent. It's going to drive me mad. Dammit! Ugh my throat is in flaming agony. Still, without pausing, I go take my seat. I tighten my hand to fists until my knuckles go white. Well whiter. I cross my arms across my chest. I hear her heart rate increase and smell fear from her. She's afraid of me and not Jasper. Funny, I thought she was a smart girl. She takes a deep breath.

"Hello Edward." Bella says. Her voice is tight. She doesn't want to be talking to me. I'm not off to a good start.

"Hey Bella." I say, being forced to take another painful breath. Danm I want her blood so bad. God help me.

"Why do you hate me?" Bella asks, finally looking to me for the first time. I can see why Jasper enjoys staring into those chocolate brown eyes.

"I don't hate you Bella. Why would you think that?" I hate having to ask but, thanks to her silent thoughts, it looks like this is the way it will have to be. I take another agonizing breath.

"That glare of yours for one thing. And the fact that you seem to want to keep Jasper away for me." She says, looking back to whatever she was working on. I don't want to risk moving closer to her in order to see over her shoulder.

"I'm trying to keep Jass away from you because he has a bit of a temper and I don't want you to get hurt. I am sorry about glaring at you. Alice said you were probable the girl Jasper cheated with." I say. It's true. She is the girl. Jasper just wasn't cheating and it hasn't happened yet. And it wouldn't if I have anything to do with it.

"Jasper didn't cheat." There is no extra emotion in her voice. The relaxed set of her shoulder as she said that tell me she completely believes it's the truth. Apparently he's got her trust.

"You sound pretty sure about that. How do you know he didn't lie to you?" I ask. Another breath. Dammit, why am I talking so much? This burning is slow torture.

"I can tell when someone is lying to me." She says quickly, there is a bit of an edge to her voice. I guess she caught me about the glaring. It's not like I'm going to tell her that I was glaring at her because she is the single most amazing and most horrible thing I have ever smelt. Finally the teacher arrives. Thank God I don't need to take another breath. Danm though. I can't focus on anything but her heartbeat. I'm not hearing a word the teacher is saying. I put my hand up.

"Yes Edward?" He says calling on me right away.

"May I be excused? I'm not feeling well." I say, using the last of the air in my lungs. I'm not taking another breath.

"Oh yes, of course. I hope you feel better." The teacher says. I nod and get up. Leaving quickly. I guess it pays to be a good student sometimes. I get off of school property and go straight into the woods.

BPOV

In the middle of class Edward asks to be excused and leaves. I can finally relax. It doesn't seem like he hates me but he was lying about why he was glaring at me. Whatever, this conversation with him didn't make me trust him more than I did before. After he left the time passed more quickly and soon enough the bell rang.

The next class would be the hell of my existence; gym. We played volleyball. My team mates learn very quickly not to pass to me. Sadly the other team made a similar observation and began to constantly send the ball into my corner of the court. That was until I accidently hit their setter with the ball. She sat out the rest of the game, and since both teams were avoiding any more injuries I may as well have too. But that was just fine with me.

When the teacher mercifully dismissed us I was one of the first both in and out of the change rooms. The bell rang not long after. I walked out of the gym and found Jasper leaning on the wall. Seeing him, I couldn't help but to smile.

"Hey Jass." I say, realizing a second late that I just used his brother's nickname for him.

"Hey Bella. When were you talking to Edward?" He asks. The question was lighthearted but I can tell he wants to know.

"The only empty seat in my bio class was beside him. How do you know I was talking to him?" I ask. It didn't make sense to me how he knew that I'd talked to Edward.

"Well only him, Alice, and Emmitt call me that. And in my opinion it's a lot more likely that it was him who talked with you." Jasper says. I don't think he lied to me. It was really that simple.

"Oh. Well tell him to feel better than for me." I say, I was just being nice to Jasper's brother. I didn't really care how Edward felt. But Jasper stops walk and just looks at me.

"What do you mean?" He asks, sounding very confused.

"Edward left in the middle of call. He told the teacher he didn't feel well. Why?" I ask. His confusion is confusing me.

"Oh, Edward doesn't skip out very often and he never gets sick." Jasper says quietly. He still looks a bit confused and somewhat lost in thought, but he starts walking again. He walks with me to my truck.

"It was nice to see you Bella." He says, the sincerity in his voice making what he said the obvious complete truth.

"You too Jasper. I'll see you tomorrow." I say smiling.

"Yea." He smiles back. He opens the door to my truck for me.

"Thanks." I say, blushing a little.

"You're welcome." He says as I get in. He shuts the door and walk towards his family. I pull out and wave as I pass the five of them. Jasper and Edward, who apparently wasn't that sick, both wave back. I smile leaving the school. And for the second day in a row I drive home thinking of Jasper.
