Jasper's Edward Interview

"So take a seat, Jasper." I looked at Jessica. She was examining me, now that I had pulled back the control on her emotion. I wanted to flinch at the feelings I hated the most, which were coming strongly from her, but I was Edward.

Edward never flinched, except when it was Bella accusing him or Alice threatening him and it surprised him.

But this wasn't surprising so I held still. I couldn't help briefly but naturally touching my forehead. The headache...Ugh. I think the office's feeling alone is suffocating me. It's getting hard to control myself. I felt a slow accumulation in feelings.

"After you." I, like Edward would have, acted as a gentleman, pulling out her chair.

Jessica looked shocked, that I gave a wry smile. She sat down and I pushed her in before taking a seat myself.

"I understand, we're to talk about the incident."

Jessica nodded, before tilting her head. "You know it's funny. You remind me of someone." Oh? She wants to talk about it NOW? I slightly frowned.

"About the incident..." I tried to drag her back to the conversation but it's so funny, old women are so stubborn that they're "heavy" to drag.

"When I was in high school..." Oh god, no. Please don't. I'm so tired and still recovering from Parent's Night. And I've heard more than enough, "When I was in high school..." stories!

"Excuse me for interrupting but I would like to say that I was out with Alice and that I tried to calm her down. I was worried myself, I couldn't really see her in the dark and she was screaming." I put my face in my hands. Let's see... Edward... What comes to mind when I think Edward? Um, likes to make Alice mad, doesn't like others getting close to me, reads other people's minds so quite overconfident.

Edward coughed.

"Oh, it's okay. I already know." Jessica waved it off. Who was Jessica again back in high school? I didn't quite remember her...

"Excuse me?" I said once again, lacking better words that were gentlemanly.

"It's not you. It couldn't be you of all people. Like I was saying,..."

"Is what you were saying relevant?" I asked, trying to add confidence in my voice. Jessica looked at me with flickers of recognition. Or perhaps deluded recognition.

Any normal high school girl who liked Edward would have fantasized a million times about what he might say to them, what, with his gentlemanly air about him. Of course, as a "gentleman" he would be cold and aloof (once again, some weird stereotypes people had in Forks about gentlemen. I never understood that.). Also, he would have some kind of superiority rudeness- Edward coughed twice at this- as he spoke as well.

"Oh no, but are you in too much of a hurry to listen to an old lady like me reminisce in her old prime days? You know I was very popular when I was young. Even the famous Edward Cullen tried to-" Edward looked up outraged, as Bella merely raised her eyebrows, an incredulous smile lighting up her face. Dang it! Edward, your rage isn't helping my control any!

"Well I can't possibly be able to be in a hurry with you keeping every on of us here." A bit of sarcasm and accusation rang through as I let a little of my annoyance and stress out. Recognition grew stronger. If this was how she remembered Edward, I might as well let it be my channel for stress. I smiled. Edward straightened up. Emmett noticed.

"I think he's gonna snap soon." Alice announced. Yes I probably am.

"I'm sorry but I believe those are all the questions that you had to ask correct?" A little stress showed out. Where's Alice? I'm getting sick over here.I could stand the feelings with Alice's overwhelming feeling of calmness that is greatly amplified when she's close but she wasn't here...

"Then what's the problem here? Why do I have to stay here?" The others perked up, eyebrows up. The feeling had in the office had accumulated like crazy. I briefly looked outside to see a humongous group of peering people in the office... Including the teachers. They slowly drew back but I knew they would come back once I turned my head. I started taking quick silent breaths that made only a small movement so that the interrogator couldn't tell I was starting to be unable to control my stress. I took a HUGE hit from Parents' Night, just because Edward wasn't here. Emmett liked the attention but I was struggling so. And it didn't help when I briefly moved towards Carlisle and Esme. In fact, it just multiplied...

I calmed a little. I would regret if if I poured too much stress out. Too bad Bella's power didn't work on me. "I think that there are no more questions, right Jessica? I mean you can't possibly think that I did it could you?" I said smoothly with a slight edgy tinge of annoyance. I looked up straightly at Jessica to ask for a confirmation.

Oh? I felt a flicker of fear from her. I wonder how fun it might be to wreck Edward's gentleman impression. I slightly turned my head to Edward. He just shrugged like he would... Or was it how Emmett would? Feeling a bit confused, I turned my head back towards Jessica. She seemed to be torn beside answering my question or fixing me to make me address her as Mrs. Newton. I didn't feel the need to call her Mrs. Newton as if she was my senior or if I knew her and liked her as a human. I mean, I was older. By a lot. She opened her mouth.

"No, but-"

"Well then, Jessica, was it?" She looked a bit too stunned to scold me. I had to get going fast. Control was slipping. What was the uncontrollable, slightly disgusting, stalking feelings of admiration and deluded love I was feeling that was getting stronger coming from? I looked at Jessica. She was innocent enough even though a contributor to the feelings. I didn't want to snap here to someone younger than me. "I believe I'll get going. Excuse me but I cannot bear to stay here any longer." I glared at her before leaving the room with a somewhat rude bang.

I quickly walked and sat next to Alice again, who hugged my tightly. "Aw, my poor Jasper. You were going to snap big time if you hadn't come out quick. Smart move." She smiled. Ah, calmness. It surrounded me largely. I felt more relaxed. She grabbed my hand and smiled.

I think I can make it throughout the day today. But we were seriously going to have to set up an arrangement so I could be with Alice. Popularity boomed after Parents' Night.

Edward only nodded in agreement.

The rest of us were staring intently at the glass office. The window showed a silent Jessica with wide eyes. Edward narrowed his eyes, anticipating something. I felt an anticipated happy feeling. Which disappeared as his eyes widened and he leaned back, putting his hand over his face.

"Jasper. I think you made it worse..." Bella said, a little nervously noticing Edward's reaction and Jessica's movements. I straightened up to observe as well. I was starting to be able to control my ability better and more precisely when I noticed that shock was replaced by total awe. The kind you feel when you meet a psycho worshipper. No offense to her or them, but it was that feeling.

She briefly looked at me. I jolted back, shocked by the strong feeling. Edward covered his ears (Not like it's going to help any, I thought. Edward glared at me sharply in response.) as he narrated to us her thoughts in a monotone.

"She's thinking 'This guy must be Edward's reincarnate! The attitude is exactly like his, just as I remember it!'"

"...!" The rest of us leaned forward, holding in our laughs, but we couldn't help a few giggles come out. Our faces flinched from both the disturbing yet hilarious thoughts.

"Yes, if Edward is rude, and stressed out." I said solemnly. I had stopped laughing, suddenly feeling bad I took my stress out slightly on her.

"It's okay Jasper, you did a good job." Alice thought for a moment. "Well he does like to bang doors closed when we interrupt him." Alice commented. Bella stayed silent, thinking, before starting to burst out laughing. Alice and Bella had the same spark of recognition, meaning they were thinking about something the two of them did. Edward looked at Alice. Oh was that slight embarrassment I feel hidden way way behind thoughts of quiet, playful revenge?

Edward looked at me sharply. I raised my hands. "Okay, okay, maybe not."

Meanwhile, Jessica watched us, I felt a strong hidden jealousy. Maybe she's thinking something like "I could have been like them too." I smiled slightly as I turned to Edward. He just turned his head towards Emmett, who was dying to ask Alice what she and Bella did but kept still despite it showing strongly through his feelings.

"It's your turn Emmett. You better not disappoint me." Edward said, as he turned his head slightly to the side to slyly smile at me.

I raised my hands up again. It's not like I totally butchered your impression...
