(Jasper's POV)

We got to school with fifteen minutes to spare. Alice went off to find Max and Emmett and Rosalie went to their classes. So it was just me and Bella.

We just leaned against the car, holding hands, until the bell rang.

"Ready for school?" Bella asked. She knows all the whirlwind of emotions gives me a headache sometimes.

"I should be fine."

We walked hand and hand onto the school campus. And I was immediately hit with a wave of various emotions: jealously, lust, excitement... It was worse than usual though. Today I didn't get a headache, I got a migraine!

"Everyone's especially excited today. You know why?"

She shrugged. "I have no idea."

With my vampire hearing, I heard some girl say, "Did you see the new guy? He is so fucking gorgeous!"

I told Bella, "New kid."

She rolled her eyes. "It's like when I first came to Forks."

I shook my head. "That was worse. Most guys were thinking about doing you."

She just blinked. "Are you serious?"

I laughed and let go of her hand, wrapping my arm around her waist instead. "Yeah. It was so bad that I almost kissed you."

A wave of love that came from Bella hit me. She smiled up at me. "I love you."

"I know you do. I'm an empath, remember?"

She laughed and we continued to walk to class. Bella and I had every class together.

A few girls sent Bella death glares and I tightened my grip around her waist.

When we got to our first class, I held the door open for Bella before going into the classroom myself.

We sat in our usual seats in the back and waited for class to get started.

But to my surprise, the teacher announced, "Students. As you may have heard, we have a new student at our school. Please welcome, Edward Cullen."

Bella hadn't been paying attention up until this point but when she heard his name, her head shot up.

It was Edward all right. What was he doing back? More importantly, what was he doing in school? Whenever he came back, he never enrolled in school. He would always leave soon enough.

A flurry of lust came from almost every girl in the classroom. And even a few guys too. The only one not really affected was Bella. She was just in shock.

Edward took a seat up front and class resumed as normal. Bella slid a note onto my desk.

What the hell is he doing back?

I read the note and scribbled back a reply. I don't know. We'll ask him at lunch or something.

Bella just nodded as she crumpled up the note.

Lunch came quickly and Bella and I headed to the cafeteria. We have a few friends at this school, but Max is really the only one who sits with us.

We took our normal seats at the corner table. Alice and Max were already there. He didn't think it was weird that we never ate lunch because he never did either. He thought cafeteria food was disgusting and he never had time to make a lunch.

Alice and Max were deep in conversation.

I looked over at Bella, who was still in shock a little bit. I grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. "Bells? Are you okay?"

She turned to look at me and blinked. "What? Oh, yeah. I'm fine. Just surprised."

Max turned to us and asked, "Did you see the new guy?"

I nodded.

He asked Alice, "Any relation to you? He has the same last name."

Alice panicked. What was Edward's story? Was he telling people he was related to us?

Fortunately, Max wasn't really looking for an answer. "It's so annoying having to listen to every girl in class squeal over him." He rolled his eyes. "He's not even that cute."

Alice looked at him, confused. He laughed at her expression. "No, I'm not gay. If I was, I wouldn't have asked you out. But I am bi. You're okay with that, right?"

"Of course. That means we can hang out at the mall and point out cute guys!" Alice was back to being her old hyper self.

Max laughed. "Exactly. By the way, do you want me to pick you up on Friday? Or you wanna meet at the mall?"

"Whatever you wanna do."

He smiled. "Great. I'll pick you up around five."

Alice was ecstatic.

The rest of the day passed by quickly and before I knew it, the last bell rang.

Bella and I walked hand and hand out to the student parking lot. There was something there that wasn't there before, though. Edward's silver Volvo. So he came to school after we did.

On the ride home, Emmett asked, "So you think Edward's gonna stay for good this time."

I shrugged. "I guess. If he's enrolling in school, then he must be staying for at least an extended period of time."

Bella was deep in thought. "What are you thinking?" I asked her quietly.

She looked up at me. "Oh. Nothing."

"That wasn't nothing."

She sighed. "I just wonder if Edward's gonna still be jealous and still try to get me back. You know how well that worked out for all of us last time."

I hugged her and planted a kiss on the top of her head. "I won't let anything like that happen again." I was referring to the time when Edward kissed her.

Bella relaxed but then panicked as another thought crossed her mind. She pulled back to look at me. "What if he tries to sabotage the wedding?"

Alice answered. "If he does, I'll kick his ass."

Bella let out a nervous laugh. "Ok."

I wrapped my arm around her and sent out a wave of calm. She instantly relaxed and smiled up at me. "Thanks Jazz."

"No problem, Bells."

We arrived at home soon enough and we all piled out of the car. I was interested to hear what Edward's explanation was.

He was playing piano when we entered the house. And he didn't stop, even though he knew we were there.

(Bella's POV)

I could hear a piano before we even entered the house. It was Edward. He was playing my lullaby...

I stiffened as I recognized the song. Was he doing this intentionally?

I knew at that moment that Edward was still not over me.

I walked up to mine and Jasper's room with an overwhelming feeling of guilt threatening to consume me.

I collapsed onto the couch and sat there with my head in my hands. It wasn't long before Jasper was sitting next to me and pulling me into his arms. "What's the matter, Bella?"

"He's still not over me. He was playing the lullaby he wrote for me." I still had my head in my hands.

Jasper took my hands in his and gently moved them away from my face. Then he touched my face and forced me to look at him. "If he's not over you yet, that's his problem. And his inability to let go. Don't dwell on it."

All I could really focus on was his amazingly bright topaz eyes.

"Bella?" He suppressed a laugh. "Can you hear me?"

I blinked and forced myself to look away. "What? Oh yeah. I heard you. Don't dwell on it. Yeah. Got it."

He pulled me onto his lap and let out that laugh that he had tried to hold back. I couldn't help but laugh too as I rested my head on his shoulder. I vowed to myself that I wouldn't let Edward's problems become my own. I was happy with Jasper. And Edward would just have to move on.

A/N: Sorry for the shortness of this chapter, but I was sorta running out of ideas. So if you have any ideas, please let me know! And I have a new poll up on my profile so PLEASE VOTE! Otherwise I won't be able to update. It's about Alice and Max. And if you're wondering why I made Max bi, it was just kind of an idea that I got when I was remembering my friend and his ex-girlfriend. See, he's bi, and they would sit on a bench in the mall and point out cute guys. lol. So that's where that idea comes from. I'll try to update ASAP!
