A/N: Thanks for all of your reviews!
I do not own anything Twilight related, SM does.
Unfortunate Contentment
Chapter 12
Edward
As I tried to decide what the best option was, my fingers played with my phone. Should I just stay here and wait? Watch the movie since I'm here, even though it means watching them?
I hated that I felt it would be weird or rude for me to go and sit next to Carlisle now; even though Jasper's wasn't coming back. It felt like I was intruding on them.
Not wanting to stay here anymore, I try messaging my parents to see if one of them could come pick me up. Ten minutes later and they've both said they can't.
It would be awkward; he would be surprised if I asked him...
Not having any other option besides staying – which I really did not feel like doing – I message Riley; one of two other guys besides Jasper that I would call a friend. Mainly because we had one thing in common; we were both gay, yet in the closet.
He'd come up to me one day and just started talking to me. I admit when I first saw him my first thought was that he was very cute and attractive. With hazel eyes, pale skin, and light brown hair, he was quite beautiful.
I didn't know how he knew, no one else had figured it out; or at least, they didn't seem to and didn't speak up about it. But in our first conversation together he told me that he knew, and while I was just about to deny it, he admitted that he was as well.
Since that conversation a couple of years back we would talk every now and then at school about things, mostly about our situation and whether we should come out with it. Riley didn't know about my relationship with Carlisle, so he thinks – and has thought for years – that I am single. I won't go into too much detail, but he has come on to me a couple of times when no one was looking. And I admit; if I didn't have Carlisle I would definitely be interested.
My message tone startles me and I quickly read his answer.
Yeah sure, I'm actually in P.A.
I'll come pick you up.
You okay, though?
Meet in the car park in five.

I thanked whatever God was listening that he was already in Port Angeles. I did not want to have to wait much longer. As my eyes lifted for a few seconds to watch Vin Diesel; I knew not even watching him or Paul Walker would lift my spirits.
I wasn't angry at Carlisle.
He'd simply seen a friend that he hadn't seen in years; of course he was excited to see him. And I knew they both thought Jasper would be coming back, and that I would want to sit with him. But Carlisle could have said no, and that we could all sit together, couldn't he?
I stood up quickly and then slowly, stealthily walked down the stairs. My eyes found Carlisle right before I was going to slip out of the cinema. Peter had his complete attention as they spoke. It hurt that he wouldn't realise that I had left; probably until the end of the movie.
As I walked out of the building and towards the car park I knew I should message him to let him know I had gone. But a part of me wanted to just leave, and maybe see if he was worried at all when he finally realised I wasn't there.
Noticing Riley in his car I walked over and got in. Quickly typing a message as he started to drive, I murmured quietly, "Hey. Thanks for this."
"No worries Edward."
I read it once again and then just sent it before I changed my mind.
Jasper left 'cause he wasn't
feeling well. I've asked a friend
to pick me up, so don't worry.
Have fun with Peter.

My eyes started to tingle, so I rubbed them roughly as I didn't want to cry over this. Especially in front of Riley.
Now, how was I going to explain this to him?
Thanks for reading.
