Chapter 6

Jasper POV

I hope Bella is okay. I said in my head for the millionth time as I lay in bed at 2 am. I saw what had happened and I am so mad at Edward for doing that to my Bella. She deserves better than him.

No matter how much I want to just kiss her and make her feel better, I know that what she needs from me now is a friend for her to vent to.

Not a guy trying to take advantage of her in the weak state.

I laughed, thinking about Bella's possible reaction to hearing me say that she was in a weak state. It would not be pretty. But that is just who Bella is. She never wants to look weak.

Even around me, her best friend, who has seen her in a lot of different moods and outfits for that matter.

I look over at the clock again it is 3 am now. I really should go to bed. Won't want to be late for school tomorrow and miss seeing Bella right away, before lunch.

I roll over and eventually I fall asleep.

My alarm clock goes off and I see that it is 8 am, time for a new day.

When I get to school, early I might add, Rose wanted to see Emmett and she is my ride. But I don't mind so much, it will give me time to figure out what to do about my Bella situation.

I was sting on a bench near the school and Rose was off with Emmett somewhere, when I saw Edward's Volvo pull up into the parking lot. When it stopped in a space Edward got out and went around to the passenger side door and opened it.

Out stepped Alice with a big smile on her face, like she did not just find out that Edward was lying to her the day before about not being in a relationship with another girl.

Edward had a big smile on his face too, like he did not just hurt one of his once best friends!

I decided that someone had to teach him a lesson, so I got up from the bench I was sitting on and walked over to where Edward and Alice were talking by Edward's Volvo.

"Hey Eddie." I said as I glared at him.

He turned his attention away from Alice towards me "Oh, Jasper hey. What's up?" He asked with that smile still on his face like nothing bad had happened.

"Don't you what up Jasper me. How could you do that to Bella? She is one of your best friends and then she became one of the best girlfriends you ever had. Does that not mean anything to your anymore?" I yelled at him. People started to look over at us as they walked by because I was that loud.

"Umm...I guess I am going to go to my locker and let you guys talk this out alone." Alice said to us, and then she got up on her toes and gave Edward a peak on the lips and then started to head towards the school.

"Look I am sorry man, I did not mean for my feelings toward Alice to hurt Bella. You are right, she is one of my best friends and I want what's best for her and it's not me. It's you Jasper" He said to me and I just stared at him frozen.

"Oh, come on Jazz. It is so obvious that you have feelings for Bella. The way you look at her, like she is the only one in the room and when she is talking it is like you really are interested in everything that she has to say. No guy can be that interested in what a girl says, only if he has it bad for her and my friend you have it bad for Bella. Everyone knows it too, the only person who might not know is Bella. Even Alice thought that there was something going on between you two and that is probably why Alice didn't think Bella and I were together. You two would make such a better couple then she and I ever did." Edward finished off and I am still frozen by his side.

Did he really just say that? Even though it sounded like he was trying to justify his reason for leaving Bella it still made me worm inside to think that he thought Bella and I would be good together. That is what I had wanted all this time, to be good enough for Bella.

The bell rang and I looked around the parking lot as everyone started heading towards the school even Edward walked away to go to class. I spotted Bella's truck across the parking lot but I could not see her anywhere.

Oh man!

I missed seeing my beautiful Bella while I was listening to Eddie talk. I guess I will have to wait three hours of boring school before I see her again.

Might as well not be late then for class, I thought as I started heading towards the school.
