I do not own Twilight, I just wish S. Meyer had these boys pair up!
"Calm down, what's going on?" Edward could hear Alice talking on the phone in the kitchen. "You did what?" She shouted. "Geeze, must be some conversation." Edward thought, picking up the remote control to switch channels. He was bored out of his ass laying on the couch all day. He'd been in the hospital for almost 2 weeks, home for another. He was really jumping out of his skin to be at school again. "Huh, never thought I'd ever want to be in school this bad." He missed his friends.
Mike showed his face every other day, dragging Bella with him. He'd missed so much. Well no, he hadn't missed anything, he just couldn't remember. He tried so hard to remember, everyone was acting weird. Bella kept asking him if he remembered anything about a day at the beach, but he honestly didn't. When he asked Mike about it, he just shrug his shoulders and said; "Hey, you'll remember on your own time, don't worry."
Yeah, that's what Carlisle had said. He would remember when his mind was ready. "Fuck that!" Something was going on, it was like everything was in on a huge secret apart from him. It was like being 10 all over again, when Alice and Emmett would tell him there was this big secret they couldn't share with him. He would go out of his mind wondering what it was. Of course they had been lying. The big secret had always been that there was no secret. Now there was.
"You can't do that honey. You have to be patient, not go around picking fights." I could clearly hear Alice's voice over the sound of the tv. "Yes, I understand that he was provoking you. But seriously Jasper, you have to see the error in punching him in the face?" Edward set up a little straighter. "Jasper?" Bella had mentioned a Jasper before Mike had kicked her shins. Something was going on.
Edward turned his head to eye Alice over the back of the couch. The kitchen door was open and he could see her pacing with a worried look on her face. "Well, did you get him right at least?" She was quiet for a little while before she chuckled. She turned around and stared Edward right in the face. He flushed and quickly hid behind the back of the couch. He heard the kitchen door close. Something was definitely going on and he would find out what!
.
That afternoon Alec came over. His face was swollen. There were red splotches on the right side of his jaw and his left cheek. Edward jumped up and rushed towards him. "Alec! What the hell happened?" Taking his hands Edward dragged him to the couch. "Nothing, just some stupid kid in school. He got up in my face, calling me dickhead." Alec explained. "What? Why?" Edward couldn't think of any reason anyone would hit Alec.
"Well, he said he was disgusted by me and you being together. See I told you Edward we shouldn't let anyone know. Now Bella and that Newton kid know. Of course they told their new best friend Jasper. He's the guy that hit me, he..." "Again with this Jasper, who is this kid anyway?" Edward interrupted him. "Why, what do you remember?" Alec asked him with a worried look on his face.
"Nothing!" Edward almost shouted. "I remember nothing, ok? I'm trying, I'm trying so god damned hard, but nothing!" Alec put his hand on Edward's cheek. "Shhh, don't worry babe, you don't have to remember. It's just this new kid that moved here from Texas. He's an ass, you really needn't worry about him!" Edward relaxed a little, but he was still not sure that was all there was. If this Jasper was an ass, than why was his sister on the phone with the guy?
"So this Jasper guy, he hit you in the face? Because you're with me? What's it to him?" Edward asked. Alec stared into his eyes for a minute. "There's a reason I didn't want people to know about us Edward. This is it. Some people just don't look to kindly on two guys being involve togetherd." A shriek came from the doorway and Edward looked up. His eyes met Alice's. Her eyes were burning, she looked really pissed off. But when she opened her mouth she sounded calm, too calm, almost cold. "I think it's time for you to go Alec, we're having dinner soon." Alec stood up and with a smile towards Edward left the house. Alice followed him out and closed the living room door behind her.
Edward tried his best to understand the muffled words he heard on the other side of the door, but he couldn't. As he stood up to get closer he heard the front door slam. He quickly sat back down. Alice came back in and sat down in a chair. "Alice, what's going on? Why are you being so rude to Alec? He got punched in the face by some homophobic kid in school today!" Edward demanded. "Yeah, well he must have been asking for it!"
Edward stood up in fury. "So I'm asking for it to? Is that what you think? Should I just let myself be beaten up as well? Because I'm asking for it? Because I'm gay?" He was screaming. "Well thank you very much Alice! Fuck, I thought you were better than that!" Alice opened her mouth, but he slammed the door when he ran into the hallway and stamped up the stairs to his room.
.
Around 11 pm Edward heard a soft knock on the door. "Go away!" he barked. Alice ignored it and opened the door. "Edward? Can I talk to you for a second?" He didn't answer, his eyes fixed on the window. "Edward, you know I don't think you deserve a beating for being gay." She sat down next to him on the bed. "I don't even think that is why Alec was beaten." Edward turned his head to Alice. "You would know all about it, wouldn't you. Because that Jasper kid is your new best friend. Isn't he a little young for you?" he spat at her.
"Really Edward, now you're just being silly! Jasper was really worried about you when you hit your head, you not remembering him doesn't change that!" Alice stood up. "I can't tell you what to do, but if I were you, I wouldn't trust that Alec of yours one bit. Think about that!" She opened the door and left. "Well, I wouldn't have to if you just told me what was going on!" he called after her.
Late at night, when he should be asleep, Edward thought about what Alice had said. Jasper had been worried about him? "What the hell?" He couldn't have known the guy for more than a week, how worried could you be after one week?
Alice is in a tight spot. But Edward can figure it out. Right? Right?
Oh now, come on, I'm not telling now!
