Update: I got so into chapter 8, That I screwed up my own story line. Parts of this are rewritten to go go along better with the new update, cause this one was easier to fix... sorry about that.
"So..." Jasper started, "What did you want to talk about?"
Edward took a deep breath, and looked at Jasper. Jasper seemed relaxed, calmly waiting for whatever Edward wanted to tell him.
"Well, I uh..." Edward stuttered nervously "I don't really know where to start."
Jasper felt the nervous tension start to rise again, and reached out to gently touch Edwards hand, relieved that he didn't pull away.
"That important huh?" Jasper joked, trying to ease the tension.
"Yeah, kind of a deal breaker for a lot of guys." Edward told him, looking down again.
"I have an idea." Jasper told him "Why don't we smoke a bowl first, relax a little before we have this conversation."
"I think that would help" Edward admitted, grinning slightly.
Edward watched quietly as Jasper stood and got a small glass pipe and a jar out of his dresser drawer. He sat back down, and began filling the pipe with weed before passing it to Edward along with a lighter.
"You can have greens." He said as Edward took the pipe from him.
They didn't talk as they passed the pipe back and forth, and Edward did his best to gather his thoughts and decide where to start.
"Promise me you won't freak out?" Edward asked.
"Promise" Jasper told him. "Besides, I'm pretty sure thats your area anyway."
"Okay, well you already know part of the story, but I'll get to that later." Edward began.
Jasper was immediately confused, but nodded anyway.
"I guess I'll just get it over with." Edward decided. "My name wasn't always Edward. I was born a girl, named Elizabeth."
Edward paused, looking up at Jasper.
"Is that all?" He asked, "Because that's really not a big deal to me."
"No, its not all... but really? You don't care that I'm not a real guy?" he asked, holding up his fingers to make air quotes when he said 'real guy'.
"Not a real guy according to who? The rest of society?" Jasper asked "This country is full of idiots anyway"
Edward grinned. So far this had gone a thousand times better than he had expected. That was the easy part so far though.
"Yeah, thats true I guess." Edward agreed "There's more I have to tell you though."
"Okay, I'm listening" Jasper told him.
"You know how you said I looked really familiar, and you felt like you already knew me from somewhere?" Edward asked
"Yes" Jasper told him, encouraging him to continue.
"Well, It's because you do. Or rather you did." Edward told him. "I went to the Cornish College for 2 years in the design program."
"When I was in the Music Program..." Jasper finished. He stared at Edward, trying to remember him.
"You would remember me as Liz" Edward told him "Or maybe Lizzie, even though I hated that name."
Suddenly Jasper remembered, and immediately felt guilty. He suddenly understood why Edward had freaked out and ran away, and really couldn't blame him for it.
"Oh my god... Lizzie. I'm so fucking sorry for what happened" Jasper said, taking Edward's hand in his. "I mean Edward... Edward. I have felt so horrible about what they did to you for years."
"What they did?" Edward asked, pulling away "Don't you mean what you and your fucking sister Rosalie did?"
"Edward, listen." Jasper tried to explain "I didn't know what they were planning"
"Bullshit!" Edward yelled, interrupting him "How could you not have known? Your the one that got me there in the first place! You knew I didn't want to hang with your fucking friends, but some how you convinced me to go anyway."
"They lied to me" Jasper told him, trying again to get Edward to listen.
"You told me we were going to a party at the beach, and it was some secret location we all had to follow to, but then we pulled over, you knew about the plan. Once you were conveniently out of the way, Alec and his gang appeared out of nowhere, dragging me out of the car." Edward continued. "All of them yelling, calling me a fucking freak and hitting me! And then you! I saw you running over to join in before they hit me on the head and I was unconcious. I thought you were my friend."
"Edward, please, calm down." Jasper tried again "Can you please let me explain?"
Edward stopped talking, nodding for Jasper to tell his side.
"I honestly did not know they were planning anything like that. They told me there was a party also, and I invited you because I really did want to hang out with you." Jasper explained, trying to keep his voice calm. He also remembered that night clearly, and the memories were making him just as upset as Edward had become.
"I was running over to pull them off of you. I was too late though, you were already unconscious when I got over to you." Jasper's voice started to tremble, and he took a deep breath before continuing. "They turned on me, knocking me out from behind, Rosalie said she was screaming at them to stop, that they were calling me a queer and freak lover while they kicked me. The same way they continued to beat you until they got scared and ran off. They saw blood and realized how serious it had all gotten."
Edward looked up at Jasper, tears starting to form in the corners of his eyes.
"They beat you too?" Edward asked
Jasper nodded, looking like he was going to start to cry also.
"Yeah. Rosalie probably saved both of our lives." Jasper told him. "One of the guys stayed back and helped get us into the car, after Jane and Alec took off with their gang of assholes, and she drove us to the hospital. He must have felt guilty or something, but he ran off pretty quick too"
"But why didn't I see you again after that?" Edward asked.
"Because the doctors were obeying your wishes. Apparently you were adamant about not wanting any visitors, and your parents had you moved back to Forks before we had a chance to clear everything up. I tried to track you down a few months later, but your parents wouldn't tell me anything."
"Oh yeah, I remember that now." Edward said looking down again. "I guess I should apologize too."
"Its okay." Jasper told him. "You didn't know. Come here"
Jasper took Edwards hand, gently pulling him closer. Reluctantly, Edward agreed and moved to rest his head on Jaspers chest, as Jasper wrapped his arm around his shoulders.
"I'm sorry" Edward said quietly into Jaspers chest.
"Everything is okay now, I promise." Jasper told him, leaning down to kiss his forehead.
"And you really don't care that I'm..." Edward started to ask.
Before he could finish though, Jasper leaned down again, this time kissing his lips.
"Does that answer your question?" Jasper asked.
Edward sat up, and crawled across Jaspers lap to straddle him as he had the night before, and pulled him closer for another kiss. Jasper moaned, opening his mouth slightly and slipping his tongue between Edwards lips. Edward felt his entire body relax as they kissed, and didn't resist when he felt Jaspers hand slip under his t-shirt. After allowing Jasper to run his hand across his chest, he sat up a little and lifted his arms so that Jasper could pull off his shirt.
Jasper felt Edward tense a bit as soon as his chest was exposed, and suddenly realized what he had done to make Edward pull away before. He reached around and began running his hands down his back, and leaned in again to kiss Edwards neck, feeling him relax again. He kissed along Edwards neck and had begun sucking on his earlobe, when they heard someone coming down the stairs.
"Hey Jazz!" Jake yelled, "Were going out for pizza. Do you guys want to come or are you too busy fucking?"
As if on cue, Edwards stomach began to growl. Jasper laughed, realizing he was hungry also.
"We'll come." Jasper yelled back. "We'll be up in a minute."
"And we." Jasper said, quietly to Edward, "Can come back to this later."
Edward climbed off Jaspers lap, and started to put his shirt back on before he paused. He remembered that he had ran there, and didn't have his wallet with him, or clothes that weren't all sweaty.
"I'm going to need to run home first" Edward said "I don't have my wallet, and I'm not wearing this to dinner."
"No you don't" Jasper told him. "I'm sure I have something you can borrow, and you can pay for dinner next time."
They finally came up the stairs about 10 minutes later to find everyone waiting for them. Alice was grinning when she saw Edwards outfit.
"Already sharing clothes?" Alice asked "That didn't take long"
"Shut up Alice" Jasper snapped, "Lets go. I'm starving.
"Haha, worked up an appetite huh?" Jake said. "I knew you two were fucking!"
Jasper just turned and glared at Jake, before taking Edwards hand and leading him out the door
e...
