"So, Alice is addicted to sweets." I look up at Emmett.

"Yeah, pretty much. Is that bad?" I answer back.

He stares at me. "No. Just making conversation."

I nod. "Soo..want to talk about girls?" I ask. His face brightens. "Hell yeah! What type of girl do you like?" He replies. "Dark hair. Why??" I peer up anxiously. "Peter told me about Aimie." He says.

"And?" I ask.

"We should go shopping, spy on her." Emmett suggests.

"Nah, you can stuff that! I'm not some type of perv, Chunk!" I answer.

"Fine," He shrugs his shoulders.

"If you don't then I will!" He teases.

"Ok, fine. But it seems bad." I try to protest.

"Curly, listen, there is no point in arguing. We are doing this." He decides.

"I'll tell Uncle Peter on you!!" I warn.

"Tell me what?"

I turn and see Peter. "Tell him we can't spy on Aimie." I say.

"Aimie! Oh come on Jared, stop slacking." He smirks and smacks the back of my head, 'boy style'.

"And just because she's pretty, it doesn't mean I fancy her!" I yell.

Peter and Emmett raise their eyebrows. Emmett pulls out a pack of cards. "We can spy, it's ok, she won't notice." Peter says.

"I DON'T THINK YOU'RE TAKING MY SEXUALITY VERY SERIOUSLY!!" I yell.

Emmett and Peter look up.

"Sexuality?" Emmett asks.

"Yeah she said it, I heard her." Peter answers.

"What now?" I ask.

Emmett comes over. "You said it!" He looks excited.

"And?" I ask.

"Sexuality! You are gay!!" He says and giggles.

"Oh, for Christ's sake." I clutch my head in my hands.

"Ok, chill out!" Emmett says.

"It's just, that, well, I'm scared Rose and Alice will hate me." I say. A look of sympathy crosses over Peter's face.

"I want this to be over now. No more hiding or pretending for Alice about boys and all that." I continue.

"I want to be ME." I say and surprisingly, tears start forming. Peter wraps his arms around me. "Oh, Jared. You are a nutter. It's ok, hush baby. Ssh." He rocks me for a few seconds. When Peter lets go, Jasper is sitting opposite me on a table. He must have seen the whole thing. I must look like an idiot.

"That's my girl," Jasper says. He comes over and strokes my fringe, exposing my forehead. "I'm so proud of you." He kisses my forehead.
