After we left, Jasper sunk into a deep depression... And I didn't know why. At first, I thought it was someone else's feelings that affected his. And I was right, but it wasn't anyone around him. It wasn't Alice. She was sad about having to leave Forks, but not depressed exactly. Rosalie, Carlisle, Edward, and Esme were in different states so he figured it wasn't them. Tula was on a completely different continent so he knew for sure it wasn't her.
No one in the Denali Clan had any reason to be depressed. So, he left depressed and confused. He was in my car, driving to Seattle for a good place to hunt when he noticed the depression was getting stronger.
We were close to Seattle, that's when it hit us. Tammy! Was it possible that Tammy was affecting his emotions? We hunted quickly, before making our way back to Alaska to drop Jasper off.
And then I drove to Forks. It was Night Time when I got there. I climbed the tree next to Tammy's window and sat on a branch, watching her. The depression was definitely coming from her. It almost caused me physical pain to see her like that. The nightmare came later, and I left before she could see me. I didn't want to give her false hope if she were to see me and then later see me leave. I couldn't do that to her... I ended up driving to Forks every night after that, watching Tammy sleep.
She looked peaceful when she slept, and she muttered Tula's name a few times (her emotions either changed to anxiety or anger, I could tell from her facial expressions.) But the depression remained. I was tempted to reveal myself to her – just so she didn't have to suffer so much heartbreak – but I knew it'd make it worse for her. So, I refrained.
I wondered what had gotten into me. No human had ever had this kind of effect on me, let alone Tammy Henriques. Ever since her Birthday, I'd tried to block her out of my thoughts as much as possible. Jasper was so close to killing her that day... The more time I spent watching Tammy sleep, the more I started noticing how little her scent affected me... and how beautiful she was. That surprised me. It was weeks later when I figured it out. I was in love with her...
I drove back to Denali that night lost in my thoughts.
"What are you thinking about?" Rosalie had asked me when I got there. We were broken up by that point but still Best friends.
"I think I'm in love with Tammy," I said almost inaudibly even to Vampire's ears. Rosalie squealed and convinced me to go back to Forks for good. So now, here I am watching Bella sleep.
