The bell rang signaling the end of my free period and the start of lunch. I walked to my locker and switched out my books so I wouldn't have to after lunch. My book was pulled from my hands and an arm was wrapped around my shoulder. I looked up to see the biggest Cullen smiling down at me. "Hey. I'm Emmett." He said. "Hi. I'm Hayley." I said. "Emmett get off of her. She doesn't need you all over her." Rosalie said as she appeared at my side. "Hey Rose." I greeted. She smiled at me and took my hand. Emmett chuckled at her but did not move his arm as we walked into the cafeteria.

The room froze and everybody turned to look at us. I blushed at the attention but Rosalie chuckled. "Come on. Jasper already grabbed enough food for the both of you." She said. She led me to their table and I sat in between Jasper and her. She was right, jasper had enough to feed the both of us on his tray. "Hello Darlin'." He drawled and I blushed. "Hi Jasper." I said softly. He smiled but looked a little embarrassed himself. I noticed that there was no flush to his cheeks though and wondered why he couldn't blush id he was embarrassed.

I picked up an apple from his tray and bit into it. It was sweet so I offered him a bite but he shook his head. That was when the last two Cullens entered. They had just started here as freshman. Having been in the 8th grade last year, they looked more like they belonged in college. All the Cullens did. "Oh crap." Rosalie hissed. I looked at her as she quickly switched positions with me. "Rose, whats-" she put a hand over my mouth and shook her head. "Please don't. I will explain later." She whispered. I frowned at her and pulled her hand from my mouth. "Hi Everybody." Alice Cullen chimed as she bounced to the table. She sat on the other side of jasper and kissed his cheek. "Hi Jazzy. I missed you." She said. He smiled but I could see if was forced.

Bile rose in my throat and I tried to swallow it back. "Who is this?" she asked. Her attention was on me and I was sure by now I was an ugly shade of green. "This is Hayley Scott. She has class with Jasper and I." Rose said. "Why is she here?" Edward Cullen asked. I tried to glare at him but couldn't quite manage it with the way my stomach was rolling. "She's my friend." Rose said. Alice went back to Jasper and I could feel the tension in the air. "Jazzy are we still going out tonight? I want to shop for this weekend. Its not often I get a whole weekend alone with you." She said. "Alice." Rose hissed in disgust but it was too late. Vomit collected in my throat as hot wet tears started sliding down my face.

I had no idea why I was so upset about what she had said but I couldn't stop it. I stood up abruptly, sending my chair tumbling backwards. All heads turned to look at me and I frowned as tears fell more heavily. "I think I'm going to be sick." I groaned. I grabbed my bag before bolting out of the café and into the nearest girl bathroom. I had barely locked the door on the stall before my apple and all of my breakfast came rushing back up. I vomited for a while, even after my stomach was empty and it was nothing more than acid coming up. I stayed in the bathroom on the floor until the bell rang to end lunch. I cleaned myself up and then groaned when I realized I had forgotten my history book. I started back towards the lunch room only to bump into Jasper and Alice.

"Oh hey. I was hoping to see you. You left this in the cafeteria." He said. I pulled my book from his hands and turned. "You're welcome!" Alice shouted after me as I stormed away. I walked into History and took a seat near the back of the class. Jasper walked in just before the bell rang and since the only seat that was open was next to me, he took it. "Are you okay?" he asked as he sat. "I'm fine." I said quickly. "You're upset about something." He said. "If you know that then why did you ask?" I almost spit. "What happened? Why are you upset?" he asked. "Nothing. Just forget it." I said.

He frowned and grabbed my hand. "Hayley whats wrong?" he asked again. He truly did care but I was angry. I snatched my hand away and glared at him. "Don't touch me." I hissed. He looked taken aback before anger settled on his features. "What is your problem? I haven't done anything to you." He growled. He was right. He hadn't done anything wrong. I was just jealous and I had no reason to be. Jasper never said he liked me that way but he also never told me about Alice. But why would he when we had just met. I guess I needed a friend more than I realized and I was taking it out on him because it wasn't just him. He came as a packaged deal.

Defeat and pain settle in my chest and caused tears to well in my eyes. This was the feeling I had been trying to avoid. The felling my mother had left me with. I turned away from him but I knew he saw my tears. "Hayley, whats wrong Darlin? Please tell me whats happening." He begged. "Just forget it. It was childish and stupid." I said. "Hayley, please? I need to know that youre okay." He begged. "I'm fine Jasper. Honestly." I said. I forced a smile as I wiped at my wet eyes. He looked at me as if he didn't believe me but just went back to paying attention to class. It was quiet for a while as I wallowed in my returned misery and Jasper tried not to say anything to upset me. History was my last class of the day and also a double period.

Jasper didn't speak to me again until a few minutes before the final bell. "Rose said that you were going to come over today." He said. "Umm yeah. I was hoping to get some help with these packets but I guess you wont be there." I said. I held up my first two packets and added the thicker history one to it. "I'm going to be there. In fact, maybe I can just ride over with you. That way you can tell me whats really going on." He said. "Sure. I don't promise to give you any answers but I don't mind giving you a ride." I said. He nodded as Mr. Banner dismissed us a few minutes early. I gathered my things and walked back to my locker to grab my books. "Oh we have extra copies at home. Don't worry about that." He said. I nodded and shut my locker.

We were walking out the the building when Mike approached us. "So is this why you broke up with me? To date this freak?" he spit. "Whats it to you?" Jasper spit back. "I wasn't talking to you." Mike spit. We were drawing attention so I put my hand on Jasper's shoulder. "Jasper, baby, please don't. He isn't worth it." I purred in his ear. He relaxed a little bit and turned towards me. I saw in his eyes that he wasn't going to let this go and sighed. "Were you the one to put that mark on my girl's face?" Jasper asked as he turned to face Mike again. "And if I was?" Mike sneered. Jasper took a step forward and I grabbed his arm. "Touch her again and I will break your face." Jasper growled. Even I was afraid for a moment and the threat wasn't directed at me.

Mike glared at me as I tried to pull Jasper away. "Tell me Hayley, were you fucking him at the same time as me? Are you that big of a whore? Like mother like daughter I guess." Mike said. My vision went red and I lunged before anyone could stop me. I remember very little after that. I just remember coming back to my senses in my dad's office at the hospital. Jasper was there and so was Charlie Swan and another man I didn't know but he shared the same colored eyes as jasper so I assumed he was Carlisle Cullen. "Hayley, what did you do?" my dad sighed. "I beat the fuck out of him." I spit. "Is that a confession?" Charlie asked and I scoffed.

"The entire school saw me Charlie. I know you could arrest me. Im not stupid." I said. "Hayley, you did so much damage. Mike's arm is broken, his ribs fractured, he had to have his jaw wired shut." My dad said. "Am I supposed to care? He shoved me into a locker and bruised my face because I broke up with him. And then if that wasn't enough, he accused me of being a whore like my mother in front of the entire school." I spit. "Hayley Annalise Scott." My father scolded. Hot angry tears welled in my eyes and I glared at him. "Do not full name me right now. I am angry and I have every right to be. None of you walked in on your own mother fucking the neighbor. None of you had to be the one to tear your dad's life apart. None of you know how I feel or what ive been going through since that day!" I nearly screamed. "So you Jayson Tyler Scott will not full name me. Mike deserved what he got. I told him to leave me alone and he chose not too. Jasper tried to get him to back off and he would so I beat him until I couldn't anymore. Anyone who dares accuse me of being like that whore will get the same. Shes a bitch and I hope she dies. You leave me alone and you let me deal with this." I said.

"Haley I'm sorry." My dad said. "Yeah me too daddy." I whispered before grabbing Jasper's hand and pulling him from the building with me.
