The Fool
Mike put both of his hands on either side of Bella and leaned in closer, "Is it true? You and Cullen huh?"
Bella looked away uncomfortably, he felt anger pulse through him, "I don't like it, that Jake kid was easy to overturn but Cullen… "
"But Cullen what?", a voice asked from behind him.
Mike turned around to find Jasper standing there, his face paled as he took in Jasper's menacing stance, "You might want to give that little lady a bit of breathing room, my friend, before her boyfriend comes and finds you in a compromised position."
Mike began to back up, "Look, I was just having a conversation."
Bella smiled when she saw Alice come prancing toward them, "What is this Team Catfish day, leave him alone Jazz, he didn't mean any harm."
Jasper sighed, "It's not like he's not able to walk off with both his legs attached, I'm just concerned about Rose, you know how she's been getting." He regretted what he had said as soon as he saw Alice and Bella's faces fall.
Ever since she and Edward had gotten together Rosalie had refused to be near the group, forcing Emmett to go to her and stay away from the group and also not letting the siblings have their time together.
Jasper looked over to see Edward striding toward them, the boys gave each other knowing looks, Edward looked down at his watch, "well since its lunch time, should we go get some ice cream," he put his arm around Bella and kissed the top of her forehead but his eyes connected with brown ones and for a moment something flickered across the hallway unbeknownst to anyone but the two men, one was laying claim and the other was raising a challenge.
Jacob leaned against the lockers with one leg bent, his arms crossed he looked like a rebel in that moment but he didn't care what he looked like he watched the bronze haired boy walk away with the love of his life and in that moment he realized that this was going to be a fight and he was ready for it.
