Chapter 3

Depressed Environment

He has to sit next to her every day in Biology and he decided he couldn't take it."

"He went to live with the Denali Clan."

Esme's face was extremely sad, her bottom lip was pushed out and I was sure if she was able to cry she would be right now.

I knew how it felt to have to smell all those humans all day, but what could have been so bad about one human girl?

I couldn't figure it out. Jasper felt my agitation and calmed me down.

The rest of the week passed uneventfully, sometimes we would glare Bella – Surely this was all her fault?

That Edward was gone to live with the Denali Clan. That he went under so much torture that one day.

And yet she continued on with her

Although she did seem to be aware something was wrong, she always looked curiously at our table during lunch.

Probably looking for Edward, wondering why he wasn't with us.

But we continued to go to school and Esme continued to be heartbroken over Edward's departure.

Every day she hoped for him to come back, every night she was disappointed. Carlisle and the rest of us tried to cheer her.

Even Jasper took a wack at it. But we had to go to school, in other words he couldn't always be there with her.

Edward wasn't always sullen and mean whenever he forgot to be sad that he was a "Monster" he was fun to be around.

Emmett didn't like it when he began to taunt him about the things he didn't know but this was not very often – Esme was usually around to give him disproving looks and scold him.

The week was torturous and awful and I hate to remember it, looking back I don't remember much from that week.

Jasper's POV

Esme was so sad I could hardly stand to be within a foot of her, and yet I had to.

I had an awful need to comfort her so I did, I made her feel happy and in turn it made me feel better – literally.

I also felt waves of sadness just rolling off of Alice. This tore me I loved Alice so much I couldn't stand to see her unhappy.

That was one of the things I loved about her – she was always happy and jubilant – until now.

Edward and her were good friends, I knew Alice was Edward's favorite sister (and still would be if he had another!)

So I comforted Alice as well. It was actually quite hard – I could make roomfuls of people feel something but Alice and Esme were so sad it was difficult to replace this feeling. Even Carlisle was sad.

It was a nightmare, the second I walked into the house after school I was dragged down by dreary sad emotions.

Even the school environment was better than this – all those teenagers on emotional roller coasters.

Angry over everyday chores, sad from getting dumped and hundreds of other feelings.

But they also had good feelings, happiness, love, jubilance, and excitement.

I tried to dwell on these ones, but stayed away from love, it was awkward falling in love with every "cute" boy in school or even any girls.

The only person I ever truly loved was Alice.

Anyway we were sitting at home one evening in our depressing little house on the porch when who should run up into the driveway but Edward!

Alice's and Esme's faces lit up like miniature suns! They ran to him and hugged him tightly.

I approached them cautiously ready to uplift Edward's emotions should he be in a bad mood.

But to my surprise all I felt was happiness as I walked up to them.

"Jasper!" "I missed you" He said hugging me.

"I missed you too." I said quietly but happily.

Esme unattached her arms from around him.

"Edward Anthony Cullen!"

He stepped back Alice removing herself from the area, but not too far – she seemed amused at what was happening.

"How could you leave without saying goodbye?"

"I was about to go up there after you and drag you back by your ear!"

"Of course Carlisle would never have allowed me to."

"Still, what were you thinking?!"

"You have no idea how horribly and wonderfully sweet she smelled!" Edward defended himself.

Then he turned to Emmett quick as lightning.

"What?!!!"

"Emmett didn't say anything" Carlisle told him.

"I know but he thought it." Edward said not removing his eyes from Emmett's face.
