Edward's Point of View
Emmett McCarty and Jasper Whitlock are my roommates; I'd known Emmett since kindergarten when we both showed up on the first day wearing Superman T-shirts. Emmett decided that meant we were meant to be best friends and so we were and have been ever since. Emmett is loud, cheerful, always joking around and at times a little inappropriate. But despite that I know I can count on him and that he always has my back.
We met Jasper during our second to last year of high school; he transferred halfway through the school year from Austin, Texas with his parents Peter and Charlotte Whitlock. He was pretty shy back then (and kind of still is) so Emmett and I took him under our wing and the rest is history. Jasper's always been the more reserved one of our group, quiet, observant, a real thinker and according to women a real southern gentleman. I'm not shitting you, chicks loved his southern drawl and apparently cowboys were a serious turn on. Who'd have thought?
Anyway after school we all went off to college together, all choosing to attend the University of Washington in Seattle, Jasper majoring in Engineering, Emmett in Sport and Education and me with a degree in Music and Commerce.
Now Jasper works as a high paid engineer for a building company while Emmett teaches Physical Education at the local high school. It's oddly fitting considering Emmett is just a big child himself. I work for Breaking Dawn records as a talent scout while I work my way up to actually being an agent that gets to represent and sign up new singers and bands.
"What does he even see in her anyway?" Emmett mused breaking me from my thoughts, "I mean yeah she's kind of hot I guess but she just doesn't seem like she's worth all the trouble."
"Fuck knows Em" I replied shrugging my shoulders. Emmett was right though, Maria wasn't worth all the trouble. Jasper met her in a club one night when he was blind drunk and was immediately enamoured with her. For the first six months or so she was actually really nice and we all used to hang out as a group a lot. But then her hidden controlling, high maintenance side came out to play and we discovered just how much of a bitch she really was. Still for some reason Jasper stuck around and just a few months ago proposed to her. Fuck knows why, to hazard a guess I'd say he's just too nice to dump her bitchy ass.
"Maybe the sex is just that good" he pondered.
I snorted, "If you're into rough and aggressive sex then yeah."
"She'd probably claw your eyes out if you didn't give her an orgasm."
Honestly I'd rather claw my own eyes out than think about Maria in that way, I shuddered at the thought. "I wouldn't put it past her, do you remember that time she asked him to go and buy her tampons and when he bought the wrong ones she threw a high heeled shoe at him?"
Emmett nodded, "That left one nasty looking bump on his forehead, I remember we went to the pub that night and he told everyone bumped his head while working underneath his car."
"Can you blame him? How would he have ever lived it down if everyone had found out his girlfriend did it?"
"Poor stupid bastard" Emmett said sadly, "Speaking of Jasper, where the hell is he anyway? He was supposed to be here an hour ago and the games gonna start soon."
