It's been a few months of Bella and Edward's back and forth dating, and as Bella's closest friend, it exhausted you having to listen to her talk about the same thing again and again. This week happened to be a week of peace. The Cullens invited Bella, and you for some reason, to join them for dinner at their house.
Bella was great at keeping secrets, but she did crack under your pressure. It wasn't entirely her fault though, Jacob didn't know how to keep his mouth shut and once his blind jealousy combined with a night of drinking, he spilled everything he knew to you.
You knew who was a vampire and who was a werewolf, mentally keeping a list of everyone. And you could only guess that such unexpected invitation meant confrontation. Your intentions were never to expose anyone, and you needed to make that clear.
Bella slammed the door of Edward's car shut once you arrived at his house.
"Easy there, tiger," you joked and climbed out of the car yourself.
"I'm telling you, she will break my car someday," Edward replied and you shook your head.
The vampire was comfortable with your presence, not at first, but as time passed he was happy that Bella didn't have to hide anything from you anymore. He knew how much that complicated things for her.
"Do you think I'll be alright? I mean, I'm not the dinner," you caught up to Edward and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Hopefully not," he joked as you rolled your eyes.
You rubbed your palms together nervously, your steps were careful and cautious as you walked into the house. Both, Bella and Edward, told you it would be alright and you had nothing to worry about, and you knew that. You were familiar with Mr. Cullen and Alice, and so far they were extremely nice to you. But, you had no idea about the feelings the rest of the family experienced towards you. Especially the feelings of a certain blond haired vampire who'd always eye you suspiciously whenever he was around.
"Y/N, this is Emmett," Edward motioned towards a dark haired and muscular guy.
"Hello," he replied and waved his fingers. He seemed nice.
"Esme and Rosalie," the vampire continued as his gaze fell upon the two women. You heard of Esme, she was Mr. Cullen's wife, he spoke very generously of her.
"Hi, darling," Mrs. Cullen replied and walked over to your side. Her arms wrapped around your back as she hugged you, easing your nerves a little.
"Don't be afraid, you're fine," the woman whispered and pulled away. You gave her a grateful smile to which she squeezed your hand and made her way towards the kitchen.
Rosalie, on the other hand, wasn't very pleased with your presence, but Bella warned you about her and her character.
"And this is Jasper," Edward looked at you and rubbed your back with his hand. He could feel your anxiety.
I'm going to die, you thought while looking at the vampire.
Edward shook his head at your thoughts and motioned for everyone to sit around the table. You were placed next to Bella who looked like she was just as nervous as you. It was really just Jasper and Rosalie who had a problem with you, and to be honest, you never wanted to cross them.
You were brought back to reality when you heard someone move a chair to your left. You turned to look at the vampire expecting it to be Alice, but instead you were met by a different pair of eyes- Jasper. You gave him an uneasy smile and turned to look at your plate. Your reaction amused him, making a light chuckle escape his lips. You didn't know if you were scared of him or too attracted to him, probably both.
