Hey guys this was actually supposed to be part of the last chapter but my email decided not to send the whole thing. I thankfully have internet tonight so here is the rest of it! haha Sorry for the mistakes I've missed! You guys are great :)

I don't own twilight.

"Can you move please?" I asked.

Edward slid over slightly and looked at me. I felt his eyes watching my every move as I swapped out my textbooks.

"Hey, I really need to talk to you," Edward started.

I grabbed my bag out and before I could put it on my shoulder Jasper showed up taking it from me. Edward stopped and looked at Jasper with a slight glare.

"You okay?" Jasper asked completely ignoring Edward.

I nodded before turning to Edward. "Edward I really have to get to work."

"You don't usually work thursdays," he said, looking thoughtful.

"Well I have been since you broke up with me. I have to go, I'm working a Java until closing if this conversation can't wait."

Then Jasper led me to his black truck and set my stuff in the back before helping jump into the front seat. Relaxing into the nice black leather seats, I tilted my head toward Jasper. He was staring straight out and had the music on low for background noise.

"I'm sorry," I murmured.

He looked at me a little surprised. "Why are you sorry?"

"Because I upset you at lunch. I feel so bad, I didn't mean to make the conversation so heavy."

He chuckled softly, shaking his head. "Don't apologize, it wasn't you. I was just embarrassed about my answer."

"Oh," I said looking down at my lap. I guess we weren't as good of friends as we used to be, that is my fault, not that I like to dwell on the details. I understand that he doesn't trust me like he used to, I feel the same way.

"I want to be a pediatrician," he said surprising me. Not by his occupation but by the fact that he told me.

I couldn't help the goofy smile that spread across my face. It fit him so well. "Why would you be so embarrassed? That would be perfect for you."

He shrugged, "I don't know, I guess I just was."

I sat quietly after that and watched him rub the back of his neck. "Since mom and Maggie, you know. I've wanted to go into medical but with dad on my back about the family tradition I just don't know what to do anymore."

My hand reached out to his shoulder and rubbed it softly for a moment before just sitting in peace. It didn't feel awkward or sad, just peace and quiet. Jasper parked and walked me in, carrying my school bag since I try to do some of my homework on my break. He leaned against the counter for a few moments with a smile.

"I better take off or I'll be late for work, but I'll pick you up at Java at the end of your shift."

"I'm done at nine," I said, I'd grill him about work later.

"I will see you at nine then," he nodded lightly pulling my hair.

"Jazz!" I stopped him as he turned to leave.

He turned to look at me and I came around the counter quickly without tripping (thank God) and wrapped my arms around his torso. He hugged me close to his chest with his arms around my shoulders before taking a deep breath and pulling away slightly. He moved some hair form my face and smiled.

"I'll see you later Bells."

"Bye Jazz."

Before I could get ready for work an elderly lady who just checked out patted my arm with a sweet smile. "You have a very handsome boyfriend."

I smiled but she was gone before I could tell her he wasn't. Technically in school we were, but not outside of it. He's just my friend, my used-to-be best friend. I threw my hair up in a bun after putting my forest green name tag with yellow and white writing saying :

Barnes & Noble

Bella

After a few hours it was six o'clock and on my break all my mind kept drifting to Edward wanting to talk to me after school and that old lady calling Jasper my boyfriend. To say I surprised to see Edward talking to me was an understatement. Not that we left off on bad terms or anything but he wasn't necessarily a great guy any more in my eyes. Somewhere in my head I almost started to believe what Jasper and I were doing was working, that maybe Edward wouldn't actually like the idea I had moved on. I sounded so awful for that, and I didn't mean to but I couldn't help it and I can't possibly think of another way to even think about it. Jasper and I were playing a game of pretend, like playing house in kindergarden. We were pretending to be together, making it very convincing apparently.

Sure growing up I had a huge crush on Jasper, but he was my best friend and at times felt more like an older brother. A lot of stuff screwed over our friendship, the major one being my fault but I don't even dare to let my mind wander that far. I can barely remember some of the details. We drifted apart around my freshman year, he fell into a new crowd and I let him disappear. I made it easier on him by just phasing him out slowly until we just stopped talking. I regret doing that every day, even more now that he is back in my life properly.

When I came out of my daze I looked down to find my Comm Arts untouched, just blank before me. I groaned and shut my textbook, I guess I would have to do it when I got home. When I returned to finish out my shift, it seemed to have went by in flash which was very unusual for me since it normally feels as slow as molasses. With both bags in hand I headed over toward Java for the slow hour before closing up. Kim thanked me quickly before rushing out the door to meet her husband who would be coming home around the same time as her with their little girl from his work's daycare. Mike was there again, I wanted to scream, and he greeted me with a warm smile.

"Hey Bella, you helping lock up tonight?"

"Yep," I gave an unenthusiastic smile.

It was silent between us after that, he got the drift that I didn't really want to talk to him. I guess he would try again tomorrow. It was 8:50 when the bell rang with an open door and I almost thought it was Jasper but I froze when I saw Edward walk in. Mike stopped too and cleared his throat before grabbing his stuff and head out the door so I could lock up. Edward stood at the counter with his hands in his pockets, his bronze hair a mess. He still looked gorgeous.

"Hey," he said.

"Hi," I greeted unsure of what to do. "I guess this is important?"

He shrugged lightly. "Bella, I just don't want you to hate me."

I gave an humorless laugh quietly. "I don't hate you Edward, but I don't particularly like you for what you did."

"I told you I never cheated on you," Edward stressed.

"How can you lie to my face like that?" I asked locking up the register, and grabbing my bags. "You think I don't know? You were with her the next day."

Edward looked down at his shoes. "I didn't mean for it to happen. Bella I loved you, I really did. I was fine with everything. I understood, and I waited for you."

"But?" I finished.

"It was so constant. Every night was work and homework and on your nights off you wouldn't do anything. You'd always say no."

I shook my head. "Edward if you loved me, you wouldn't have cared. I'm not rich like you, I have to work."

Edward was quiet, his emerald eyes searching mine. "I'm sorry Bella. I will say it until the day I die so you will believe me. Please just don't hate me. I still care about you…"

His words trailed as the door opened. Jasper walked in and looked between us. I gave him a pleading glance making him walk over to me, taking my bags. Jasper stood about three inches taller than Edward, which was enough to make Edward look up at him, and they stared each other down before I shook my head.

"I need to lock up now."

We all left after my announcement and Edward just looked at me. "Can I talk to you tomorrow?"

I bit my lip, looking up at Jasper. "At school."

Jasper steered me to the truck with his arm over my shoulder, his fingers caressing my arm. I was starting to lose the control I had with Edward, all that being brought back up was just too much to handle all at one time. The nerve he had, made me mad. I sat in Jasper's truck and cried silently all the way home until he pulled up to my house. He held me hand and looked into my eyes wiping my tears away.

"Oh Darlin'." he murmured soothingly.

He took me to the door and for some reason nothing seemed more comforting than his arms in that moment. So I hugged him close, breathing in his delicious scent. He stoked my hair comfortingly before kissing my forehead.

"I'm going to look like crap tomorrow," I laughed through my tears.

Jasper chuckled. "I'll see you tomorrow."
