Note: Just to clear this up, I'm not going to do Epov. This story is from jpov only. Enjoy! ;)

I sat at my usually lunch table over by the big cafeteria window, glancing outside at the bright sunny sky as I waited for my lunch mates.

I drummed my fingers on the table top as I anxiously waited for Edward to arrive. It wasn't long till the cafeteria started filling up with students and loud chatter.

Five minutes passed before Edward walked through the double doors of the lunchroom, blushing as his eyes found mine before he bashfully looked away.

"Edward, over here!" Another student called his name, waving him over to join their group for lunch.

Edward stopped in his tracks, glancing back and forth between me and them, not sure where to go.

I gestured for him to go to the other table, giving a small smile in the process letting him know it was okay.

Edward cautiously made his way over, before taking a seat as the group continued their conversation, trying to involve him in it.

I was feeling somewhat torn as I watched him have lunch with some of his classmates.

I was proud to see Edward come such a long way in a short time, hanging out with a bunch of students and actually holding a conversation with them but at the same time it bothered me a bit. I couldn't understand why.

This is what we all wanted to happened for Edward to become more social but something felt amiss.

I wanted to be the one sitting next to him, capturing his attention.

I felt a strange hold over Edward that bugged me.

I almost felt possessive of him, as though he was mine and no one else's.

I didn't want to share him with anyone. I wanted to have his every conversation, his every touch, every look.

I was jealous.

I didn't like it.

It was unhealthy to be so clingy to someone, to depend on someone so much.

Perhaps it was good Edward was becoming more social before I got to close to him.

"I figured I would come over here, you look so lonely." Alice said, taking a seat across from me, dragging me from my thoughts.

"Alice, please." I replied, having a hard time not rolling me eyes at her.

I put my focus on the food that was sitting in from of me, looking cold and forgotten. I took a bite of my roll as Alice went on with her assumptions.

"You can't kid me jasper, I could see your long stares from across the room."

"Alice, I'm just doing what you asked, watching out for your brother." I stated, stealing another glance at his table.

"Oh jasper, I think its pass that, don't you?" She asked through a smirk.

I could tell in some sick way she was loving my discomfort.

"I saw Edward when he came through the door last night; he was grinning ear to ear and in a complete daze. I'm no fool jasper; I have never seen my brother like this or you for that matter. So don't play dumb with me, I know you guys like each other." She claimed.

"Then what's the problem Ali?"

The smile left her face and a look of concern replaced it.

"I just want you to be careful, not just for my brothers sake but for yours too. I don't want either of you getting hurt. I just want you guys to be honest with each other with whatever this is, that is going on between you two, before things get out of hand. Just make sure you're serious about this before getting involved and fully committing yourself. You know I love you as if you were my own brother Jazz, but if you hurt Edward I'm going to kick your ass." She stated in a stern voice.

I had to laugh. It was hard to take Alice's threat seriously. She was such a bubbly, girly girl; the thought of her ever trying to kick my ass was hilarious.

"Whatever you say Ali." I replied amused.

"I would give Edward this speech but he has yet to confide in me about him being gay, so it would be kind of awkward telling him I know about you two when he doesn't even know that I know he's gay." She complained.

"It's bugging you, isn't it?" I teased, seeing her annoyance on the subject.

"Yes, a little bit. I mean, I'm his sister, you would think he would tell me first." She huffed.

"Maybe he didn't want to tell you, afraid you would blab to your parents?"

"I wouldn't do that."

"Let him tell you and his own time, he'll come around Ali. He has already come so far. I mean, look at him over there, talking to complete strangers." I replied, gesturing to Edward laughing with the group at the other table.

"I know, it's great to see this side of him, happy. And I have you to thank for that." she said, giving me an over the table hug.

"Thanks Jazz."

"No problem, Ali." I said, hugging her back.
