Damon p.o.v
"What's this about?" I asked.
"I'm pretty sure you know." he said. I thought for a moment.
"How'd you find out?" I asked.
"The same way I found out about Stefan." he said.
"Emmett…" I sighed. He nodded. "I already know what you're going to say now." I said.
"Do you?" he asked. I nodded.
"You're gonna give me the same speech you gave Stefan." I said.
"No not exactly. Actually I have a few questions." he said.
"Then I definitely know. Yeah I still drink human blood and no, not directly from humans. Blood packs only. I definitely have enough self control." I said. He smiled. He started to say something else. "No, I can't stay away from her and no I won't try." I said.
"Am I really that predictable?" he asked, still smiling.
"Only to me." I said. "Plus… I've been thinking a lot about this." I added. "This is so new to me. It's strange." I said quietly.
"If you need anything I'm here." he said.
"Well… there is one thing." I said hesitantly.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Get Jasper off my case?" I asked. He laughed.
"I'm afraid not even I can rein him in when it comes to her." he said.
"Well can you at least tell him not to threaten me?" I asked.
"He threatened you?" he asked.
"Uh… oops. Now he'll really be mad." I said. He waited on me to answer. "Yeah he did… today in class. I'm supposed to meet him after school." I said. Carlisle sighed.
"I'll talk to him." he said.
Jasper p.o.v
I was so stupid. Once again I let my feelings get the best of me. I had no idea what I was going to say to her. I tried to come up with something but when I got over to her and she looked up at me, her hazel eyes meeting mine for a second, whatever meager thing I had thought of left my mind.
"Uh hi…" I said lamely. Stupid!
"Hi." she said quietly.
"Mind if I sit down?" I asked. She kicked out a chair for me on the opposite side of her.
"Go ahead." she said. "So… why are you over here instead of with your brothers? I mean, what could you want to talk to me about?" she asked.
"Well… I've kinda wanted to talk to you for a while. I just… I didn't know how to approach you." I said.
"Wait… you were scared to come and talk to me?" she asked.
"Well just a little bit." I said with a smile.
"Um… why? Dude most people would fight just to have you know their name." she said.
"I thought everybody thought me and my brothers were weird." I said.
"Listen you and your brothers are… a special kind of popular. You guys are the mysterious kids no one knows or talks to. Dude people would fight to be your friend you know that?" she asked. I thought about that.
"Well… I guess you're a special kind of popular too. If anyone asked me the names of people I actually know at this school, yours would be the first one in my head." I said quietly. She blushed and looked away. I smiled. The moment was perfect. Until her brother came over at least. He called her name. We could both here the annoyance and anger in his voice. "I guess I got you in trouble. Sorry." I whispered.
"Yeah you kinda did. Don't worry about it. We'll just have to be careful next time." she whispered back. She grabbed her stuff and went over to her brother.
"I told you to stay away from him." Evian growled.
"He came over to me." she said.
"You could have gotten up and left." he said.
"That's rude." she said. Even without looking I could see the patronizing smile on her face.
"I don't care! You promised you wouldn't talk to him. Well, I'm gonna set this straight like I should have in the first place. Jesse told me you wanted to talk to him and he warned me that you probably would anyway. I blew him off. I trusted you." he said. I looked up to see him coming over to me.
"Hey, you're Ember's brother right?" I asked, knowing exactly who he was.
"Yeah and I'm here to let you know something." he said.
"Oh really? What's that?" I asked.
"Stay away from my sister." he growled. I stood up and we were standing face to face now.
"And if I don't want to?" I asked.
"You will have a major problem on your hands." he growled. Suddenly Emmett was beside me.
"Are you sure that's the right answer?" he asked.
"This is between me and him." Evian said a little hesitant now.
"Emmett just back off. I can handle myself." I said. I turned to Evian now. "I just saved you from the real major problem. You owe me now. I'll talk to your sister whenever I want." I said. He started to argue it.
"Evian let it go!" Ember called. He gave me and Emmett a look but he turned and walked off, away from his sister. I sighed.
"Everybody's got something to say." I said. Emmett laughed.
