It was finally Friday and Jake was going to be arriving in a few hours. I was full of so many different emotions. I was happy to be seeing my best friend but I also wanted him to be happy with the people I was hanging out with. I hated living this double life and I didn't know how long I would be able to keep it going. My friends didn't know I was still talking to Alec they thought the house party was the last time we talked. I hated not being able to tell anyone but I didn't want anyone to bring it up. I only had a few more weeks until graduation, I didn't want anyone or anything to ruin my chance of finishing my schooling. I knew every move that my parents would make the moment they found out the Volturi were here and that I was interacting with them. My whole life I was told how the Volturi would come along and try to take me away from my family and I would never be able to see them again. I did know they wanted me to be a part of them because I was something different and they didn't want anything that was different going against them. I didn't want to think about it too much because when I did I started to go placed I didn't want to believe was true. The day was going by slow and I knew it was because I was waiting to see someone I had been missing.

I was in my last class on the day and I couldn't remember a thing the professor said. I hated when I had days like this when I didn't want to be here but I had no choice in the matter. I just kept up the act like I was taking notes. I wish I could work up the nerve to skip a class but I felt like I worked too hard to get here and I didn't want any reason to take me away. I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do when I got out of here. I could try and join the workforce but after so many years of not aging I would have to leave. That was the one thing I hated was always having to leave when people started to notice. We always came back to my hometown eventually after a couple decades we would move back when we knew everyone we had hung out with had moved or passed on. I wasn't fully ready to have that be my life, as long as I kept hiding away in college no one would find out that I didn't age and then I didn't have to really move around. There were so many colleges I could go too. I was coming out of my day dream as I noticed everyone picking up there items and heading out the door. I couldn't believe the class was finally over, it seemed to take forever. I grabbed all of my things and headed out the door. I made the journey across campus to head back to my apartment.

When I got back to my place I noticed that no one else was around. It seemed rare when this happened. I would always come home and find someone else there. I decided I would spend the time cleaning up the place before Jake got here. I know Brittany did it all the time but this was something to keep me busy and I didn't want to just be sitting around the apartment doing nothing. I knew this way at least time would hopefully go by fast. Cleaning did help me relax sometimes which was nice when I didn't want to worry about anything. I was heading into my bedroom to start cleaning in there when I heard a knock on the door. I figured it was one of the guys who wanted to see if anyone was home. There was Brandon at the door, he smiled as I opened the door for him. "Hey." I moved out of the way so he could come in. "What are you doing?" "Just cleaning the place." He went and sat down on the stools. "Anyone else home yet?" "No I'm not sure when Brittany will be coming home." I decided I had cleaned enough today and that this would just have to do. I was sure Jake wouldn't be able to tell if I missed any dirt. "That is weird Brittany always beats me home. Anyways, why are you cleaning up the place?" Was it really that obvious when I cleaned the apartment that something was up? When he said that it made me feel like maybe I don't do enough around the apartment. "Jake will be here in a few to visit did you forget already?" "No I didn't forget." He gave a little laugh and I knew that he had forgotten about Jake coming. "That means there will be a cool party this weekend." It was true Charity never let a visit from Jake go without one of her famous parties. "Yea I'm not sure if Charity has to work all weekend or not." Everyone knew even if she had to work she would still find a way to throw a party. "Like that is going to stop her. She is always looking for an excuse to party and you just gave her one." I just smiled, I knew he was right but we would see how this weekend would go. Brittany came into the apartment in the middle of Brandon's sentence. "Who's having a party this weekend?" I knew she didn't like to party which confused me how Charity and Brittany were so close, they were the complete opposite of each other. "With Jake coming for the weekend, I was saying how Charity will find a way to throw a party whether or not she is working." Brittany just shook her head and put her things on the couch.

I decided I was done cleaning and Brittany didn't have to clean with me already doing it. We all turned on the tv and decided to watch some old friends episodes on hulu. I couldn't believe how much time we spent watching episodes. I was really enjoying the old sitcom and reliving some memories from the first time we had all seen the show. In between the episodes I saw my phone start to go off. I noticed Jake was calling me. "Hello." 'I'm here. Come let me in." I hung up the phone and started towards the door. "Guys I will be right back. Jake is here." I couldn't help but smile a little. It was nice to have some piece of home here for a little while. I bounced down the steps and opened the door for Jake to come into our apartment building. "Welcome." I did the cheesy smile and let the door shut behind him. I knew this was going to be the start of a very interesting weekend.
