Fuck, Bella. I'm not ready for this!

Those words broke my heart, for the second time in one year.

What made it break the first time?

What happened next?

Let me start at the beginning…

One year before

It all started when my best friend tried out for the varsity soccer team, at our high school in Forks, Washington. We were best friends since the age of 6. That's when he discovered that he had a half-brother. Apparently his mother got pregnant at 18 and decided to keep the baby, in spite of her boyfriends decision to not want a baby. He went away to college while she stayed in Forks. His father then got another girl pregnant, but because she was of good family, he married her. Then they moved back to Forks.

The kids at school were bullying him by calling him a 'bastard'. I don't even know where they learned that word. Probably from their parents.

I told my mother Rennee about him. She said that I should be nice, and that the other kids were wrong by treating him that way.

The next day I went up to him and asked him if I could be his friend. We've been inseparable ever since.

And now he was trying for the varsity team. A team of which his half-brother was the captain.

Jasper was really good at soccer. But he never played it competition wise before. He and a bunch of our friends had been playing street soccer for years. But one night at the end of the summer break, the varsity team coach came to the little park where we hung out and asked Jasper to try out for the team.

Apparently a couple of the first string players had been banned from the team, due to some wild night with lots of alcohol and a near dead experience.

Jasper didn't know if he wanted to. He wasn't sure if playing in the same team as Edward was a good idea. I wasn't sure either. Those two couldn't stand each other.

So he talked about it with his mom and with Carlisle.

Carlisle used to be the best friend of his birth father, Edward Masen Sr.. When the latter decided to bail on his pregnant girlfriend, his best friend stayed behind and looked after her. It was obvious that Esme and Carlisle were in love, but they didn't admit it to each other. Yet.

Esme was absolutely against him playing soccer. It had been one of the reasons for Edward Sr. to leave her, and she didn't want it to affect his life as much as it had hers.

Carlisle on the other hand loved the idea of him playing. He had been the one to tip of the coach.

Jasper still didn't know what to do. So I made the decision for him. I knew he really loved playing soccer, so I told him to go to the try out.

"Hey Jazz, how did it go?" I asked him on the phone.

The try outs had been held after school, and I guessed he should know the outcome by now.

He sighed.

"That bad huh?" I responded, thinking he didn't make it.

"It was good actually. I got offered a place in the team." He said.

"So why are you sighing then?"

"I still don't know if it's a good idea. Edward was a real jerk today."

I could only imagine what he had done. Edward Masen Jr. was an asshole first class, just like his father.

He was the golden boy of the school, with a perfect life, perfect house and perfect girlfriend, Rosalie Hale.

"Just ignore him. He's a prick and he knows it. There must be decent people on the team as well?" I asked.

I really didn't know anyone on the team except Edward.

"There was this one guy, Emmett McCarty. He's new and seems to be a nice guy. A bit loud, but he didn't treat me like I was garbage. I think he and I would get along. He doesn't follow Edward around like the rest of them, so that must be a good sign right?" he laughed.

"Definitely." I agreed. "Anyway, just sleep on it and I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight."

"Goodnight" he said and I hung up.

I was really wondering if he was going to take the offer.

I really wanted to play varsity soccer. I just didn't know if it would be worth it. Being in the same team as Edward, I didn't think I could handle that.

He had always been a prick to me. I didn't care before, but this was different. I would have to have close contact with him for the first time ever.

But then again, playing soccer was my life. And it would give me a chance at a scholarship. My mother didn't have a lot of money, so it would come in handy if I wanted to go to college. Which I did.

Bella was right. I decided to sleep over it, and make up my mind in the morning.

I woke up, still undecided. But it hit me. I had to try. I would never forgive myself if I gave up before even giving it a shot.

And if it wasn't meant to be, then so be it.

So I called Bella. It was 7 in the morning, and although I was already up, she wasn't.

"Jeez Jasper. What do you want?" she growled through the phone.

I laughed.

"I made up my mind. I'm going to take the offer." I said.

"You could have just waited to tell me until you saw me at school. I hate you…" she responded.

"I just thought to tell you now, so I couldn't change my mind anymore… you know how I am."

She growled again. "Fine. But don't expect me to be nice to you today. And never, ever call me this early in the morning again!" and she hung up.

An hour later I pulled up at the school parking lot. Bella was already on her usual spot, standing next to her truck waiting for me.

"You made it out of bed huh?" I teased.

She glared at me and said nothing.

"So this is how it's going to be today? Good, I need some peace and quiet." I laughed.

"Fuck you!" she replied, then she turned and started walking towards the school main building.

I quickly caught up with her, and we walked along in silence. I looked around. It was the first day of school, so there were a lot of new kids. Then I saw a really big guy walking a bit in front of us.

"Emmett!" I yelled.

He stopped walking and turned around. He seemed to recognise me and waited for us to reach him.

"Hey Jasper." He said. Then he looked at Bella. "Who's this?" he asked.

"Emmett, meet Bella. Bella this is Emmett McCarty. The guy on my team I was telling you about."

She looked up to him and smiled.

"Hey Emmett. I'm Bella, Jaspers best friend. At least I was, until this morning." She said.

He raised his eyebrows. "What happened?" he asked.

"The idiot decided to call me at 7 AM this morning, to tell me he decided to join the team. Something he could have just told me now, but no. He had to wake me up!" she rambled.

Emmett started laughing. "You're a feisty one… nice." He said.

In stead of glaring at him, like she would have done to me, she started laughing as well.

"I like you." She said. "Will you be my new best friend?" she then asked.

"Hey!" was all I could say, before I started laughing myself.

"So, we'll be team mates then. At least there's one guy who isn't a stuck up snob." Emmett said.

"My thoughts exactly." I replied, thinking that maybe this year wouldn't suck that much.

I loved hanging out with Bella, but I really needed a guy friend as well. The guys I played street soccer with went to school in La Push, so it had always been me and Bella vs Forks High. At least now we had some reinforcements.

A/N: okay, new story. I don't know if you guys know One Tree Hill (it's a TV show). I'll use some of the episodes, but not a lot. I promise. It's mainly just for the setting of the story. The characters will be a bit OOC at first, but that should change as the story continues. I hope this chapter was okay… please review and let me know!
