The Other Half

Here are some outtakes that happened in some of the other characters' POV in the story. Let's start with the beginning where everyone else was listening to the conversation of Lucas's depression.

Outtake – Chapter 2

Bella's POV

It was a normal day for us, us immortals that is.

It's the middle of August, perfect for humans to go outside where there's some sun showing but to us, not really since we sparkle into the sunlight.

We're sitting in the living room enjoying the days before we have to go back to school. Ugh. I was okay with high school when I was human but now to just repeat it for the rest of my life is a drag.

Carlisle was at work at the hospital while Esme's outside gardening. Alice was sitting on the couch next to Jasper showing him catalogs on outfits that are on sale while he smiled and had his arm around her. Next to them were Rosalie and Emmett who are discussing their plans for their wedding anniversary. Nessie and Jacob were on the floor where she has her hand on Jacob's face. From what I can tell she's probably expressing her feelings to him with her gift. Edward and I were merely curled up in an armchair with me sitting on his lap enjoying each other's presence. We heard the door open and saw Lucas coming inside from his walk.

"Hey Lucas." We all said.

"Hey guys." He said. Lucas took a seat on the couch next to Emmett and Rosalie and grabbed the remote turning on the TV.

I turn my head and started kissing every inch of Edward's face before pressing my lips to his.

"Not that I'm complaining," Edward said when our lips separate. "But what was all that for?"

"Do I need a reason to kiss my amazing husband?" I asked.

Edward had an expression making him look like he was thinking. "Hmm, no…"

I kissed him again. "So what's the problem?"

"Who said that there was?" Edward smirked.

And again.

"Then shut up and let me kiss you." I smiled as our lips met.

Our kissing was interrupted at the sound of the TV. We broke apart and saw it having the channels being switched one after another as everyone notices too. We all turned to see Lucas was changing the channel very furiously. I don't think he even notices until he noticed us and realized what he's doing and turned off the TV putting down the remote.

"Um, I'm going to my room." He said and soon out of the living room quickly and up the stairs.

"Well that was entertaining." Emmett said with a chuckle.

"What was that about?" Jacob asked. "He looked pretty pissed at whatever was on."

"I wonder what's wrong." Rosalie asked.

"You know, he has been acting a bit strange lately. I can see it through him and I wasn't even using my powers which I couldn't use on him." Jasper said.

"Yeah he kept his aura on for some reason blocking his thoughts from me." Edward said.

"So that's why I couldn't see him in my visions." Alice said. "I thought he was just being boring."

Lucas has been living with us for about a year and lately he has been a bit, I don't know… depressed. I wonder what's wrong. Is he still upset about losing his family because of the Volturi? I wish he would just tell us.

"We should talk to him to see if he's okay." I said.

"I'll talk to him." Nessie said as she got up.

"Tell him he needs to come shopping with us later for school." Alice called as Nessie walked up the stairs.

I was gonna volunteer to do it since he's my 'cousin' but if anyone can get Lucas to open up, it's my daughter. He always thinks of her as a sister since the lost of his own.

"Lucas?" We heard Nessie said and listened.

"Hey Nessie." Lucas said.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" Lucas asked.

"You've been acting, um… strange." Nessie said.

"That obvious?" Lucas asked sounding embarrassed.

"Well you were flicking the TV channels very fast like you don't want to see them." Nessie explained. "And for the past few weeks, you've been blocking daddy from reading your thoughts. What's wrong?"

"You'll laugh." Lucas said as we all looked at each other in confusion. Why would he think she would laugh?

"I won't laugh." Nessie said.

"I know you won't, but what about Emmett?" Lucas pointed out causing us all to laugh but not as loud as Emmett who is booming with laughter. Okay now that makes sense since Lucas knows that we're listening from our enhanced hearing.

"See, they're laughing and I haven't said anything yet!" Lucas complained as I heard Nessie giggling as well but she stopped probably because of how annoyed Lucas is and we stopped soon after.

"Tell us what's wrong, I promise we won't laugh. Right Uncle Em?" Nessie called.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Emmett said waving his hand. There are no promises to be made in Emmett's book.

"Please." Nessie said in way I assume that she's using the puppy eyes.

Lucas took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, it's just that… since I've became one of you guys, you gave me everything I wouldn't dream of you to give; a new home, necessities, clothing,"

"Thanks to yours truly!" Alice said cheerfully.

"And a happy family." Lucas continued. "But for some reason, I feel like there's something missing. Something you guys have that I don't. Whenever I see you and Jacob, Edward and Bella or anyone else together, I feel left out and I can't ignore this feeling inside me."

Everyone was silent except for Emmett who was snickering earning a slap in the back of the head by Jasper. I had no idea he felt that way and judging by everyone's expression they had no idea either. We were just being happy with each other's presence. We weren't trying to rub it in his face. I wish I knew what it is that he's missing in his life so that we could all help him just like we did when he first came into our home.

"I think I know why," Nessie said. I was curious about what she thinks. "You haven't found your mate yet."

Huh, maybe that's it. It does make sense. I mean everyone in the family is married and Jacob and Nessie have been dating for almost four years now. Only Lucas is the only one who hasn't been with someone yet. How could I not notice that?

"Say what now?!" Lucas asked sounding like he thinks we're being crazy.

"Yeah, you just need to find that certain someone." Nessie said.

"Easier said than done," Lucas said. "One, I'm not that good at talking to girls and two, in case you haven't noticed, I'm a vampire!"

Emmett started laughing again. Although I think it's cute to hear that Lucas thinks he's not smooth with women, it didn't sound at all funny.

"How did you end up with Meghan?" Emmett asked while he's still laughing. It was Rosalie's turn to smack Emmett's head. "OW! What was that for?"

"Did you have to bring up Meghan?" Rosalie hissed.

"What, I was just asking." Emmett defended.

"Do you not remember what happened to her?" I hissed.

"Of course I remembered." Emmett said in an 'I'm not stupid' tone.

"Did you not know about how he felt when he lost her?" Edward hissed.

"Okay I'm sorry, geez. Can't a guy ask a question in curiosity?" Emmett asked holding his hands up in surrender as most of us rolled our eyes.

"Hello, earth to Lucas." We heard Nessie say.

"Sorry, got lost in my thought." Lucas said. "Look, I don't know finding a mate is the answer to my problem."

"You know my dad was like that until he met mom." Nessie explained. "He wouldn't stop thinking about her since then and he still loves her."

I looked at Edward who looked down in embarrassment. I smiled and cupped his face in my hands and gave him another kiss on the lips.

"You'll find someone, someday." Nessie said to Lucas.

I heard Lucas sighed and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try but don't expect it so soon."

"Sure, sure." Nessie said happily. "Now come on, Aunt Alice said she needs your help with back to school shopping."

Lucas groaned and I couldn't help but gave a laugh. When we told Lucas about going back to school, he did not take it so well, mostly he complains. I agree with him though.

"Remind me again why we have to go back to school." Lucas asked as Nessie giggled.

"Grandpa said we have to attend school or else it'll get suspicious to humans." Nessie explained.

"Man just when I got out of it they pull me right back in." Lucas said.

"You'll get used to it." Emmett said.

"Guess there's no getting out of it. Alright let's go." Lucas said and we heard him and Nessie walk out of his room and went downstairs.

"I kinda feel sorry for Lucas." Edward said to me.

"Why?" I asked.

Edward whispered very low so that only I could hear. "Emmett's gonna have a field day with him and try to play matchmaker." He chuckled as I rolled my eyes. I grabbed his face again and kissed him.

"Guys, seriously go to your cottage!" Jacob begged as we laughed.

Hope you liked it. More to come. Please review.
