The first week was a mess of emotions. Jessica was excited, terrified, and nervous all at once. She met a lot of people during the week-long new student orientation including her roommate. Bonnie Bennett was from New Orleans and she was nice, friendly, and collected crystals.

They were getting along quite well even if she was wary around Edward. Not surprisingly, Edward intimidated people as he usually did. There was no hiding his otherness and he was naturally stand-offish it was going to take people a while to warm up to him. People also asked him if he was an albino with how pale he was and how he avoided the sun.

Bonnie was civil with Edward though she was pointedly not as friendly with him as she was with everyone else. In return, Edward was keenly observing the girl after noticing she smelled differently than the other students. He couldn't seem to put his finger on what was different about her. Jessica just had to accept the fact her boyfriend and her roommate weren't going to be friends.

Another person she met during orientation was a boy named Riley Biers. He was from Santa Fe and was majoring in Bioengineering which meant they had a lot of classes together. He was really nice and they bonded over Friends and would quote the show at each other. Edward did not like him immediately.

"He likes you," Edward said. "And not as a friend."

"Did you read that in his mind or is that your jealousy talking?" she replied. "And Riley has a girlfriend back home."

"He thinks you're cute and funny," He looked annoyed. "And he's thinking about breaking up with his girlfriend."

That was troubling.

"He's gonna leave her for me? He barely knows me."

"It's not you. He's wanted to break up with her for a while," he continued. "But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to date you. You are cute and you are funny. He sees that."

"Guys don't see me like you do," she pointed out. "You think I'm irresistible but most guys think I'm annoying. Before you, I had two boyfriends and neither of those lasted long. Neither of them was serious."

"Human boys are idiots," he practically growled, pulling her closer to hold her. "I should eat all of them for making you think less of yourself."

"I think that might cause some problems down the line," She laughed. "You can't murder everyone that's mean to me."

"I can and I will," He dipped down and kissed her. "They won't even be able to fight me off. They'd be dead before they could even scream."

"Oh-kay, Jack the Ripper," She pecked the corner of his mouth. "I'm used to you being weird and creepy by now."

"Good."

He looked behind her and she turned to see Riley walking past with a few of his friends. Riley waved at her, smiling brightly. She was about to wave back but Edward grabbed her and kissed her deeply. He let her go and smiled smugly.

She smacked him in the arm. "Stop being possessive. It's not attractive."

"I have to get the message across somehow."

"What message?"

"That no matter his interest in you, you're my girlfriend," he said. "And yes, that makes me possessive and jealous and you can hate it but I can't help myself."

"We'll work on it," she replied. "And don't mind, Riley. Give him a couple of weeks around me and he'll be so annoyed with me he'll wish I'd just go away."

"I doubt that," He leaned his forehead on hers. "But I trust you."

"Good."

Jessica would never get used to girls staring at Edward. She knew she couldn't really blame him. He was designed to attract them to make the chomping down on their arteries easier but it didn't mean she enjoyed it. She remembered being one of them, drawn to his undeniable attractiveness and unable to help herself.

He was different with her. She saw past the pretty face. She knew what songs he played when he was in a specific mood. She knew how to make him laugh. She knew he was deep down, just a massive nerd, who would argue anyone to death about how Romeo and Juliet was atragedy dang it and anyone who thought it was romantic was vastly misconstruing what Shakespeare wrote the freaking play about.

He had declared some people in his Lit class as insufferable and on the list of people he would eat if he ever decided to give up on his 'vegetarian' lifestyle. He was grumpy most days and could barely tolerate other people. He dressed too nicely and he refused to listen to music after the 60s. He was really an old man in the body of a teenager.

When girls would try to flirt with him, he usually stared them down until they got the message. The bolder ones would be quickly rebuffed. Jessica didn't have to ever doubt his loyalty because he didn't really like people. He didn't even try to hide it either. She wondered if Edward secretly just wanted to live a cabin in the middle of nowhere, away from society, and stay there.

Jessica was walking around campus with Bonnie when she spotted him talking to a girl. She was pale with long brown hair and doe eyes and was biting her lips as she stuttered out words. Edward was staring down at her intensely, his usually golden gaze almost black. It looked like somebody needed to eat a coyote or two.

She told Bonnie she would catch up with her later and made her way to them. She sidled up to Edward and noted he wasn't even breathing. He was stiff as a board as he stared down at the girl. The brunette widened those doe eyes as Jessica greeted Edward with a kiss on the cheek.

"Hi babe," She never called Edward that but boundaries had to be set. "Who's your friend?"

"This is Isabella Swan," Edward answered her, his voice flat and his gaze on the brunette's pale throat. "She's from Arizona."

Making sure to show she was holding Edward's hand, she asked, "Are you on the campus tour?"

"It's, um, Bella actually," the brunette replied. "And yes, um, I'm thinking of transferring, um, next semester."

That was a lot of ums.

"Well, good luck with that. Stanford does have one of the most difficult acceptance rates," Jessica remarked. "And are you sure about California? You're so pale and skin cancer is a very real thing."

Bella frowned. "I'm used to the heat actually. I'm from Arizona."

"Arizona. Right," she returned flippantly. "Well, you enjoy the rest of the tour. My boyfriend and I have things to do. Bye!"

Jessica dragged Edward away, delighting at how Bella watched them leave despondently. Lauren Mallory would've been proud. In fact, she was definitely telling her about this on their next Skype call. She glanced back to see the brunette walking off, slouching in defeat.

Edward was still stiff as a board and watching Bella walk away with his eyes dark as the night.

"What is wrong with you?" she demanded. "You're so stiff it's like you have rigor mortis,"

He growled, "La tua cantante."

"What is that? Spanish? You know I took up German."

"It's Italian. It means 'singer'. Her blood sings for me," He explained, swallowing. "Some human blood is more irresistible than others."

She raised both eyebrows. "Should I be jealous that her blood is more appealing to you than mine?"

"No. I want to kill her. I want to drain her of every drop of her blood," He ran his fingers through his hair. "You shouldn't be jealous of that. God, if you hadn't shown up I might've given in and bit her right there for everyone to see."

That would've been very bad. She rubbed his back soothingly. "What do you need?"

"I'm going to go feed. It'll be nighttime soon anyway," He cupped her cheek and kissed her quickly. He looked like he was restraining himself to the point of pain. "Just so we're clear, no matter whose blood sings for me, I am yours. Heart, body, and soul, Jessica Stanley."

She tried not to smile. "No need to flatter me. Go and eat."

"I'll see you later."

She watched him leave and finally smiled. Nope. She never had to doubt his loyalty.

Jessica was a decent cook but she had taken for granted her mom cooking meals for her. There were meals at the Dining Hall but sometimes she wanted to snack on something and didn't want to have to make it herself. She'd been eating too much Cheetos as a result. Her organs had to be orange at this point.

She had a study date with Riley and he came over to see her half-way through a bag of Cheetos. He also lived at FloMo but on a different floor.

"You know those have zero nutritional value, right?" he remarked. "They taste good but they're bad for you in the long run."

"I didn't invite you here for a PSA," she grumbled. "And I'm hungry."

"How about I make us something?" he suggested. "I grew up in Santa Fe. I know good food and my family runs a restaurant so I'm a great cook."

"What are you going to make?"

"What do you have to cook?"

He went through the random assortment of food she and Bonnie kept. He looked at the expiration date of a can of beans and placed it back. He picked up the bag of tortilla chips instead.

"Nachos it is," he declared. "With three different cheeses because you're worth it."

"Aw," She placed her hand over her heart. "I'm touched."

"Careful," He waved a finger at her. "Your boyfriend might get jealous."

Oh, he would. Edward couldn't help himself.

"I won't tell him that you made me nachos if you don't," she said conspiringly. "Cheese is too erotic."

He laughed. "What do I have to cook to steal you from him?"

"Can you bake? Pie is worth an elopement."

"Will pecan pie do?"

"Not for an elopement. If you said blueberry pie, we would be driving to Vegas and getting hitched as we speak."

"Good to know," He got up, carrying the bag of tortilla chips. "Let's go to the kitchen. If you're nice, I'll make you dessert."

"I'm always nice."

They were joking around. This wasn't flirting. She would have said these things to Eric or Tyler. The difference was that Edward never thought either of them was interested in her because they weren't.

He was sure Riley liked her and she wanted him to be wrong. Away from all her friends, she wanted to make new ones. She had only Bonnie and Riley. If Riley liked her, then she couldn't be friends with him. Everything would be ruined.

After demolishing a giant plate of nachos, they went back to studying. They had dinner at the Dining Hall and Riley left her to go back to his dorm. She was getting ready for bed when Bonnie finally came back. The other girl was carrying a burlap sack.

"Hey Bon," she greeted. "How was your day?"

Bonnie emptied the contents of the sack unto the floor of their dorm. The carcass of a dead coyote stared up at Jessica and she shrieked, backing away from it.

"What the fuck, Bonnie?" she exclaimed. "Why would you bring that here?"

Bonnie toed the dead coyote with her boot. "It's been drained of its blood. I found others like it, one was a cougar."

Jessica's heart began beating faster. She knew what killed those animals. Edward hadn't been as careful cleaning up after himself as he thought if Bonnie was able to find the dead animals. She needed to talk to him about this.

"And?"

The other girl looked her in the eye and asked, "Did you know your boyfriend's a vampire?"

Oh fuck.

They were so fucked.

And this is the end of Impossible. For now. See you all in the sequel which will be called Impractical. I never thought this story would be getting the attention and the love that it did. Thank you for reading and leaving reviews. Thank you for giving this story and this rare pairing a chance.

1. Jessica's roommate is Bonnie Bennett from The Vampire Diaries TV series. If you know her, you might have some idea of who she is and what she brings to the story. Will other TVD characters make an appearance in the sequel? I only have the Bennett Family planned to appear but never say never.

2. I did say this story has 'No Bella' and that's still true. Bella's cameo was me just having a laugh cause people were asking what would happen if Bella was in the story. There you go.

3. Riley is the same Riley from Eclipse. He is not a vampire here or has anything to do with Victoria and the nomads. He's just an ordinary human college kid. I didn't want to make OCs.
