I do like the multiple points of view stories. Sorry if it's giving you a whiplash!
Sorry if I haven't replied to your review yet, I have been very busy writing, but I do appreciate it, so I WILL respond!
I do not own Twilight, It's S. Meyers, so don't kill the messenger!
As he walked up to school Thursday morning Mike saw the new kid Jasper standing next to a blue Nissan. His arm loosely around Jessica's shoulder. Seriously, in town for mere weeks and already he's got himself a girlfriend. At least it was Jessica, she wasn't really girlfriend material. Usually she fucked a guy and dumped him right after, wasn't interested in dating.
Jasper was a cool guy though. They had talked a bit during lunch hour the previous day, and they liked the same bands and all. He and his mother had just moved from Texas, and Mike guessed he missed the place. Well, there's no harm in making the guy feel welcome. Maybe he wants to come to the beach with us this Saturday.
He walked up to the guy as Jessica stalked off with her friends. "Hey man, I see Jess got her hooks in you!"
Jasper shrugged. "Yeah, I'm not sure I'm happy about it though."
Mike raised his eyebrow at him. "You seemed quite happy just now." Jasper looked him in the eyes.
"Well, I'd like to date someone, but she's kind of annoying, you know?"
Mike chuckled. "Yeah, I know all about it. I used to date her. Well date, she doesn't really date, she just fucks around to be honest."
Jasper picked up his bag and they started towards the school together. "Jasper, a bunch of us are going to the beach on Saturday, want to tag along?"
"Ehm, sure I guess."
"Cool. We're gathering up at Tyler's place at 10, he's got a van. It's the big yellow house on Main Street."
"Yeah, I've seen the place. I'll be there."
They walked into their calculus class and sat down. Jasper sat next to Bella in the seats in front of Mike.
"Hey Bells, Had a nice evening yesterday? I heard you had a violin recital." Mike had been in love with Bella for ages. But he couldn't ask her out, not after she dumped Edward and broke his heart. Bella smiled at him. I love it when she smiles like that. Like I'm her favourite person in the whole world.
"I did, but how did you know?"
Because he basically stalked her of course. But he couldn't tell her that. He shrugged. "I think I heard your dad tell my mum at the store. Did it go well?" Of course he knew she had played beautifully, as he had been there, in the back of the theatre.
"It was ok. I'm no Joshua Bell of course."
"I bet you will become just as good as him, if not better!" He smiled at her. She quickly hid behind her hair, but not before he glimpsed the blush on her face.
"I'd love to hear you play sometimes!" Jasper told Bella. Dread rising in his chest. Ok, he couldn't go out with her, but he didn't like the idea of anyone else dating her. He quickly spoke.
"Yeah, so would I, maybe we can come to your next recital?" She opened her mouth, but snapped it shut as the teacher asked for silence.
Second period was boring as ever. Edward had been really silent since his breakup with Bella. He usually spent the hour stuck in his head. And he had noticed him staring at the back of Alec's head. He had thought that this was because he was Bella's cousin. But last Monday he had turned his stare to Jasper, which was kind of freaky. Edward was acting weird.
Mike looked at his friend, who had his face turned to Jasper. Seriously this had to stop. "Jasper could you pass me the alcohol? Ours is empty." Jasper turned towards them with the bottle. He took a peek at Edward, who swallowed hard. Jasper bit his lip and Edward quickly looked at his book.
Mike took the bottle and poured some alcohol over his cotton bud. "Thanks man!" he said as he returned the bottle. Edward shifted in his seat, and Mike looked down. He had a freaking hard on. Oh... my... god...! Mike gasped and Edward looked up. As he saw realization in Mike's eyes, his face turned red and he lightly shook his head.
He had probably known for a while now, but Mike had ignored it. His friend couldn't be gay, he had dated girls, he had dated Bella. It wasn't possible, Edward had been heartbroken when she broke up with him. But Mike could no longer ignore what was right in front of him. Edward had been looking at Jasper and he had gotten hard. One and one equals two and two meant his best friend played for the other team.
So will Mike still be Edwards friend? Will he keep his secret? And will he get his Bella?
Who the hell knows?
Please review, I'd be ever so pleased!
