Jasper POV
I had to admit I was a little, just a little happy coming to school the first day Edward came back because for once I wasn't exactly the weakest one at the moment. it was sitting at our usual table in the cafeteria that all the smugness dropped away when I caught Beau Swan's emotions. for someone who couldn't see he was strong and even calm. I completely loved his emotions as he came close to us and couldn't help but catch that hand that was seeking. the feeling just went through me even more in a flash so quickly that I fell into the warmth of them. it was a wonder that I wasn't as thirsty as I just had been even though I had just hunted with Edward last night. Edward got up and walked out with Beau and Angela. the rest of us got up and headed to class. I was still seeking out Beau's emotions he was a little bummed but since I couldn't read minds I didn't know why. in fact it brought me up as I remembered in the cafeteria that I took his hand and not Edward. you think the mind reader would know that he wanted the table.
it was after school that I thought that question in the car on the way home. "I can't read Beau's mind," Edward answered.
"What for real," Emmett said surprised.
"yes, I didn't realize the first time we met because I was trying not to kill him," Edward said. "I tried all through biology but nothing. what about you Jasper?"
"I can feel his emotions," I said.
"you like them," Edward said.
"they're calming." I replied. "no fear even though he can't see." I said thinking about his emotions. Alice smiled at me from the front seat.
"Well don't ask me, I can't see him at all," she said turning around and let out a huff.
"what?" all of said at once.
"seriously all dark on my end." Alice reaffirmed.
Beau became a fixture in our circle after that day. Edward couldn't keep away from him be it the scent or not being able to read his mind Edward was almost always with Beau talking, reading, and listening to music. Beau was an everyday visitor to our house along with surprisingly Jacob Black the great-grandson of Ephraim Black from the Quileute tribe who we had a treaty with. He wasn't a wolf-like his ancestor, we figured it had died out.
Esme had taken to both boys and mother them from the time they walked in until they left. Esme was currently pressing leftover food onto them to take home for their fathers. "Thank you Esme," Beau said taking the offering.
"Yeah thanks a bunch," Jake said guilt ran through him and Edward just smiled.
"See you at school on Monday Beau. Jake you sure you feel up to driving?"
"Sure no problem just a slight fever." Esme walked into the house. I thought about Jake feeling guilty about the food. Edward came next to me, leaned in so no one else in the house would hear. Jake's dad won't it the food and he feels guilty for lying to Esme about his dad eating it." I thought about the Quileute tribes legend on my family and Edward nodded his head as we ran to the back of the house and jumped the river. We were hunting that night.
