The Cullens had driven home in silence after the incident with the new student, Jasper didn't need a gift to feel everyone's worry.
'I didn't hurt the girl, I don't understand why everyone is making such a big deal about this'
"You could of." Edward muttered "You're unstable"
Alice, being one of the closest in the family to Jasper, came quick to his defence.
"He's not unstable just slightly on edge! You now how difficult it is to control the urges- especially since he didn't exactly start out the same way we did."
Jasper tilted his head downward in thanks and gave a slightly intimidating glare in Edwards direction which made him gulp not in nervousness but in guilt.
When they arrived home Jasper quickly made his way to his room- not bothering to spare a glance towards Esme or Carlisle who noticed his sudden hostility and proceeded to ask Alice about it whom informed them on the 'situation'.
"Do you know if anything bad is going to happen?" Esme asked Alice with a comforting smile.
"I can't see anything! As soon as Jasper walks into his History class tomorrow afternoon everything is clouded." She complained shaking her head in frustration.
"This could be trouble. It could also be nothing. Let's just wait and see, shall we? Although, I would advise you talk to him; he could use a friend." Carlisle concluded.
Alice knocked on Jasper's door twice before opening it to find him tucked tightly into the corner pressed against the glass and a tall bookshelf reading one of his novels. If he heard the door open- which he definitely did - he didn't acknowledge it and let Alice walk over to him and place a light hand on his shoulder.
"You know Edward didn't mean what he said in the car, don't you? He's just being cautious because if we got exposed somehow there would be serious consequences, which I know that you know and understand but this hasn't ever happened before." She explained softly.
"It's not exactly like I have a choice. I've smelt hundred of humans and been able to resist but this girl..."
"Have you considered maybe-"
"No! No...I would definitely know but she's different; it's not just me who can smell it. I saw Emmett and Rosalie earlier this morning when she walked into the school, they have the strongest sense of smell out of all of us, and they were struggling..." He retaliated quickly in defiance.
"I was a bit antsy this morning too, I guess you're right. She just had really good blood and we all need to be careful when we're around her." Alice sighed.
