Jasper's pov:
I had to go to the music store before I went with Edward on our date. He still looked a bit frazzled. Which I can completely understand.
"Baby are you sure you want to go?" I looked over at my man. His head was lying on the window and he looked white as a ghost. His piercing green eyes looked toward me.
"Of course I want to go Jazz. I'm sorry. I keep worrying you." His long fingers made their way through his mess of hair. "I'm trying to relax I promise." He grabbed onto my free hand, with a soft caring smile. I do realize the toll life has taken on him and now he's actually trying to get along astounds me.
"I love you, Edward." His face brightens at the terms of endearment. My car screeched to a halt in front of the music store. Edward gave me a confused look and unbuckled himself.
"Why are we here?" I undid myself and slid from the car. He opened the door to leave.
"I just had to pick up a few things, if you don't mind that is?" Edward shook his head and the emotion in his eyes threw me for a second, there was evident excitement in them.
"No no I don't mind at all." He smiled. "It always calmed me down to be in a music store." He giggled and came around to my side of the car. This was the Edward I loved seeing care free and relaxed. No tweaking or begging me to find him something anything to cure the pain.
"Well I'm glad." I replied rising from the seat of my Impala. He latched onto my hand and we entered the store. I was a well known customer at Jamsters and it was nice to receive personal greetings.
"Jazz Man how you doin?" Riley asked from behind the counter.
"Pretty good, Ri." He laughed and then looked in Edward's direction. It almost looked like a look of recognition on his face.
"Do I know you?" He asked giving him another once over. "You look so familiar. Dude, what's your name?" He asked extending his hand toward Edward. Edward took it without a moment's hesitation.
"Edward." He answered honestly, and Riley I think knew who it was he was trying to pin point.
"Edward Masen?" He asked once more and when Edward nodded I think a connection was born. "No way man, when I was younger I went to all and I mean all of your gigs!" He smiled and high fived Edward. "You gotta have magic fingers man! You were a rockin!" Edward laughed.
"I don't know if it was really rocking for all I did was play piano." He laughed. Riley giggled.
"I thought you were the coolest thing since sliced bread, E." Riley ran his hand over his face. "I never thought I would meet you though."
"I never thought, I would meet anyone who recognized me." He shook his head.
"Jazz Man, How did you find a hottie like this?" Riley winked and I knew he was picking on me. He always tended to act like this.
"An alley." Edward answered and Riley thought he was kidding, only we knew it was reality.
"Gosh you guys are a hoot!" Riley cackled, Edward twitched a lil. "So Jazz Man, E what can I help you gentlemen with today?" Riley asked now stepping into his professional mode.
"I just gotta pick up those strings and the pics." He nodded.
"Go ahead boys look around I gotta find them anyways." He laughed and slide behind the counter into the back room.
"I'm going to go look around hunny." I said cupping his cheek into my palm. He nodded and went toward the instruments.
I walked in the opposite direction toward the CD's. I had hundreds of CD's all different kinds, but I had never seen one of Edward's CDs before.
Well now better than never! I started the search, CD after CD. Riley never organized anything, so it was left to the customer to find what they wanted. I had gone threw about seventy CDs when one caught my eye. It was of a little boy sitting by a grand piano, his face was so content it just made you feel happy. Looking at the name I knew this was what I was looking for. Edward Masen: Dream What a corny title.
I walked to the counter to find Riley staring, jaw dropped and eyes bulging. "Riley?" I asked and he pointed and then the sound of a guitar hit my ears. I looked over to see Edward hunched over a Gibson guitar, strumming away humming, filling the hollow music store with life. "So beautiful." I whispered looking at my boyfriend.
"Shit, Jazz if you weren't with him I would totally take him." He picked his jaw off the floor, and looked back toward me. "You ready for me to ring you up?" I nodded and then looked back toward Edward.
"How much for the guitar, Ri?" He looked over at the blue sunburst Gibson.
"That one's expensive Jazz Man." He said with a whisper so we didn't disturb Edward's beautiful noise making. "You know I don't make the prices." I nodded waiting for him to finally answer. "It's 2,960 dollars, Jazz. If I remember correctly."
"Well can you give me a discount?" I asked nicely, I'd done shit for Riley over the past couple years. I was really hoping Riley would return the favor.
"I can make it 2,000 dollars, but that's still a pretty penny." I nodded once again agreeing with the man.
"Can you hold it? I might come back for it later, after I convince the rents', Edward needs something to call his own." I whispered and Riley just looked at me funny. I shook my head pretty much indicating, I was not going to elaborate.
"Of course, I can help as much as I can." Riley replied smiling his stoner smile at me. "You ready to pay for this?" He asked with the strings and pics in hand. I placed Edward's CD on the counter and Riley gave me the questioning look.
"You've never heard him have you?" I shook my head and Edward was still strumming. "Well, I have a collection of all his stuff. And I'll let you have it, I get more and more shit every day." I stared at Riley stunned. "Don't give me that look Jazz Man, you need to hear this kid on Piano, he'll blow you away. He was playing flight of the bumblebee at 9 years old." My eyes bulged. He had to be kidding.
"Really?" I asked looking over at my boyfriend in his element. Riley sat the four CDs on the counter, placed them in bags.
"Yeah I'm completely serious." Riley started ringing me up. We bagged everything before I went and tapped Edward on the shoulder, he blinked and looked around before placing the guitar back on the stand.
"Sorry bout that." He muttered, Riley shook his head,'
"No problem, E, you guys have a nice day." Edward grabbed one of the bags and grabbed my free hand. We were back in the car in a matter of seconds. Driving off to our destination, the silence filling the car was killing me.
"I never knew you could play guitar, Edward." He was still looking out the window, making me feel like he was ignoring me.
"I'm not that great at it." Edward replied looking over at me. "I'm not that great at music in general." He sighed running his hands over his eyes. "I'm sleepy." I smiled at him, he didn't realize just how amazing he was and he needed a lesson on it.
"You do realize that your strumming, and music abilities are good right?" He looked over at me and shook his head no.
"The only thing I have ever been good at was being a druggie." He stated matter a factly. "Which I gave up on, so technically I'm good at nothing."
"Edward, you need to stop you're an amazing person and I love you. I don't care what your good at, but realize you are good at quite a few things." He looked at me, not quite sure what to say.
"Okay, Babe." He answered, laying his head back on the seat. I started stroking his bronze hair, Edward had started to look healthy-er, he put on a couple pounds, but he was still way below his recommended weight. His eyes didn't have those bags under them, and he was able to focus a little more now. I was just so happy to have his light in my life. I pulled into the parking lot of Main Street Pizza.
"Baby, we're here." He opened his beautiful green eyes. He almost looked lost for a second. Sometimes, Edward's mind would play tricks and he'd wake up in his bed and not know where he was it happened a couple times and scared the shit out of me at first, but dad assured it was only a side effect of the heroin. He then would remember and apologize constantly. "Date Time." I smiled and he giggled.
"You sound like a corny old forty's movie." He giggled and I leaned toward him, my mouth was mere inches from his luscious lips. He stopped laughing and looked at my mouth.
"Really?" I challenged. He just looked at me with his eyes, fear was an evident thing, his breathing accelerated. What? His eyes glazed over just a little. Edward started whimpering. Shit no not a Panic attack! "Edward?" I questioned.
"Charlie. No. I'm sorry. No more please. NO!" He cried trying to pull away from my hand restraining his wrist.
"Edward." I soothed, trying to bring him back to reality. "EDWARD!" I yelled he jerked forward and the seatbelt restrained him.
"I'm sorry." Edward started crying clutching onto me his little piece of reality. I stroked his hair waiting for him to calm down. "I ruined our date."
"Nah, we still got time, sweetheart." Edward looked so exhausted. The day had it's toll on his sanity.
"Then let's do it." He giggled unwrapping himself and leaving from the car. We arrived inside and placed an order for a pepperoni pizza, we sat in the quiet booth waiting when my phone started to ring, I looked at the caller I.D. and it was Emmett. I looked toward Edward not wanting to be rude. "Go ahead hunny."
I quietly answered. "Hey Emm, what's up?"
"Jazz, I…n..need…you." Emmett cried on the other end of the line, this scared me Emmett never cried.
"Emmett, what's wrong?" He was like my brother. I had to fix whatever his problem was.
"I…I..r..ruined everything." He hiccupped at the end, he sounded so broken so torn so emotional. "R..ro..se won't e..ev…even t..alk to me." He cried. Well shit, what did Emmett do to deserve this?
"Emmett what happened?" I asked quietly, Edward looked toward me worried also. Emmett took care of us.
"I… I….I'm no…not ..in…love with her, like I should be." He sobbed. "We were only meant to be friends." The tears were forming in my eyes, Emmett sounded so broken so confused.
"How do you know, Emmett?" I asked quietly, hoping to the heaven he didn't hear me choking up.
"I…I met someone else." He hiccupped, "But this person terrifies me." He cried, he sounded so confused now.
"Who is this someone?" I asked, hoping maybe he would answer.
"I…i…d..don't want you to hate me." He cried, hiccups and coughing were heard. "I'm soooo scared."
"Emmett, what's her name?" The other end of the line got quiet. I started to panic. "Emmett!"
"That's the problem." He whispered. "It's not a her, it's a him!" He cried. WHAT! "Rose thinks she's not good enough, but she's wrong. She deserves someone better, someone who can love her fully. Jasper, I don't know what to do, I I have never been so scared." He cried.
"Emmett, then tell me, What's his name? And how did you know you were meant to be?" I asked quietly, Edward sat across the table bugged eyed and mouth hanging open.
"His names Garrett, and he's 22, works at a tattoo shop and he makes me feel like I've been given a brand new life. He's everything, I can't not see him. I know that sounds crazy, but he he he's everything." Emmett cried, he was scared and he called me his best friend the one he knew would take care of him.
"Emmett, do you need me?" I asked
"Yes." He hiccupped. I was looking at Edward to see if us leaving was okay. He nodded and we paid for the food we hadn't received and left the pizza parlor.
"Where you at Emm?" He was crying again.
"Your front porch." We hung up the phone and I realized, my best friend was now gay and my boyfriend was one of the best musicians of all time. Well how wonderful!
