Thanks to those who review. Sorry I don't always reply, but I check e-mail on two different computers, but fanfic only works on one so I get confused.

Me: DOES THAT MEAN I OWN TWILIGHT HERE?
Big voice: -gigglesnort- Of course you don't own Twilight. You certainly aren't that far into the realm of insanity.

Chapter 10: What a Boring Life
Jasper POV
Bella came to school on Thursday, and as always, I watched her get out of her car. She then did something out of character. She went and looked at her tires. It's as if she were inspecting them. I could see her eyes getting slightly watery and I wondered what could have caused her to cry. She didn't look unhappy though, thereby sending my brain into complete confusion and curiosity.
It was then that i heard the screech of the tires.
...
Tyler Crowley's car was coming straight for Bella.
Taking to my vampiric senses, I froze. I didn't mean to, I just did. I couldn't believe what was about to happen. I saw a blur of white, and I thanked the heavens above, if there were any, that Edward had taken action when I couldn't. I only hoped that Bella was safe.
There was much confusion as everyone called 911 and rushed to Bella's side. I wondered if it were possible for vampires to go into shock because I seemed to be in a mindless state. I just watched as Bella was carried off in an ambulance, and Edward followed along.
My state seemed to be over as soon as everything had cleared. I immediately jumped into the Volvo, and I drove myself to the hospital. I hoped desperately that Bella was alright. I couldn't believe I didn't do anything. I'm incredibly stupid. I can't believe I just stood there when Bella, the only person to ever influence me like she has, was about to be crushed. I'm such an idiot.
I stormed into the hospital and into Carlisle's office.
"Is she okay?!" I hissed. I was incredibly angry at myself.
"I've looked at her X-rays and they seem alright. I was actually just about to release her. Would you like to come?" Carlisle's a great man. He was so polite when I was so rude.
"Yes. Thank you, Carlisle. I'm sorry." I controlled my anger."
"It's quite alright, son. It's understandable." He remained calm as I kept reigning in my emotions.
"I'm here to spring you." I heard Edward say as I walked into the room.
"Bella, You're vitals look good, and I'd say that you are good to go." Carlisle signed a paper and cleared her.
"Can I talk to you?" She whispered to Edward. I couldn't help my curiosity, so I followed them around the corner.
"You were across the lot! I saw you!" Bella accused.
"I was standing right next to you Bella." Smooth lie from Edward.
"You stopped the van with your hand!" She was an observant girl.
"No one is going to believe you." You might as well have told her, Edward! His eyes flickered towards my direction for a fraction of a second.
"I wasn't going to tell anyone." Wait... What?
She would keep our secret even if we were freaks? Impossible, although maybe I haven't given Bella any credit. Would she really keep our secret? I don't know. Surely she would run screaming if she knew what we were.
Edward quickly finished the conversation before I could pay attention again and we left around the corner, heading towards Carlisle's study.
"She's knows something. I'm sure of it." Edward said after the door was safely closed behind us.
"Of course she does. She saw you stop a massive van with only your hand, of course she knows something!" We were both nervous and tense. I could feel it.
"You can't go on that date with her! She'll be bound to figure something out!" He was dead to me.
"I'm going on my date." It won't do any good to rip his head off. Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it.
"No you aren't." I growled.
"Yes. I. AM."
"Jasper, she'll figure something out."
"She was bound to figure something out anyway! With two vampires totally in love her, there is no way that she'd be kept in the dark forever!" I had a very good point.
"Yes, you do have a very good point, Jasper, but that doesn't mean anything." He said between his teeth.
Stupid mind reading ability.
"Edward, it means everything, and I'm leaving now."
I stomped out, feeling very upset. I let everyone feel it too.
Bella POV
It's official, Edward's insane. After my being released, he went from perfectly nice, to the devil.
Okay, okay I'm exagerrating alittle, but seriously, does he have multiple personality disorder? He's just so moody. It's giving me whiplash. I'm just glad his brother isn't like that. I just wanted to go home and get some rest before facing the school tomorrow, because no one would let me go back today, no matter how much I said I was fine.
---
I woke up feeling refreshed, but so not excited for facing my fellow students. Atleast it's Friday. One day until my date with Jasper.
As always, a light drizzle was coming from the clouds. I was very unhappy to find slush on the ground. Atleast rain soaks into the ground or goes down gutters, and snow can be packed down on the ground, but if I fall in slush, I get completely soaked.
When I got to school, my loud truck was surrounded by worried friends, and people who justed wanted part of the spotlight I didn't want.
I was surrounded by "Are you okay?"'s and "How are you?"'s. It was too many people and I was thankful for the relief when Jasper approached and asked me the same the same questions, but instead of blending in with the crowd, everyone was immediately silenced in shock that one of the Cullen's had gone beyond family members to talk to. People started to leave, and Jessica went with them with the 'you will tell me everything in trig.' look.
My day went trough uneventfully, except for seemingly everyone asking me to give them the dirty details. I went with Edward's story about he apparently pushed me out of the way after he had been standing right next me... Which, half of that was true.
Speak of the devil, he acted as though I was a piece of rotten cheese in Biology today. He wouldn't talk to me and the most acknowledgement I'd gotten was glares. I'd thought we might have been closer from his saving me, but I guess our fight was left over from yesterday afternoon.
I walked to P.E wondering what I possibly could have done to make Edward so angry. I had no idea.
"How has your day been?" Those Cullen men with their smooth voices never ceased to catch my surprise.
"Pretty good, except your brother is treating me like the devil."
He laughed. "Oh he's just having a bad day. I think I've been making him pretty angry myself. Don't worry about it."
"That makes me feel loads better!" I swear he could feel my relief, it's kind of unnerving.
We went through our gym class talking about what we were going to do tomorrow, or rather, I guessed and he replied yes or no.
"Are we going for a walk?"
He chuckled. "No, it's going to rain tomorrw."
"It's casual dress right?"
"Yes, that's still the plan."
"Lunch?"
"Maybe."
"That's it isn't it!" I was sooo right!
"Actually that's what we're doing if we get done early, so that's part of it." I was wrong again. He laughed at the dissapointment that was sure to be on my face.
"Did you want to go to lunch?" Curiosity burned behind his seemingly casual voice.
"You missunderstood. I was dissapointed because I guessed wrong again."
"Oh." He understood now.
Once again, the bell rand far too early.
"I'm picking you up at ten tomorrow. Is that all right?" he had asked this a couple days earlier, but he must have forgotten or he was double checking.
"Yes. That's perfect."
"Excellent! Good-bye Bella," and with that he walked off.
Well, the date is next chapter, and I'm sure that you are all looking forward to it.
Now for something important. The most reviews per chapter I've gotten is four. My goal is now five. Without five, I will still update, but Mike Newton will end up on the date with Bella and Jasper. -evil grin- You do not want to see that plan. It involves Jasper covered in alfredo sauce -maniacle laughter-! We all love our Cullen men delicious, but not quite in that literal of sense. So spare Jasper and review!
