OKAY FIRST THINGS FIRST. THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE. I WILL ALMOST NEVER UPDATE ON A THURSDAY. SECOND OF ALL, THE OFFICE IS ON TONIGHT ONE HOUR LONG. For the very few of my beloved readers who actually watch the show, you understand how excited I am. This episode is supposed to be amazing.

So, I will usually never update on a Thursday, but finals are over! Woohoo (that's what I haven't updated in a while) and I had a short day today so I have time to update. I realize by now that nobody is reading this and they are all reading the story, but for those who are reading it thank you.

The next few few chapters will focus mainly on Abigail and Anthony's relationship. So not much drama and action will happen, but after a while it will, I've already got the more dramatic part in my head.

And for those of you who do not watch The Office, you all are totally missing out, not only are you not seeing Jim and Pam's awesome relationship, but you also won't understand the crossover my friend and I wrote! So if you have an hour, watch The Office 9:00 Thursday nights on NBC. Because it's awesome.

On to the story, I hope you all enjoy! Also check out my other story, My Heart Has Found It's Home, it's one of those stories where Edward turns human. I also wrote a one-shot currently if you all want to check it out!

Wow, I am too happy right now! Enjoy!...I'm going to stop talking now. I mean it.

CHAPTER 20

My dad sighed, "Well, we don't really know how far the Volturi are going to take this. They didn't seem to be too harsh in Alice's vision. But we don't want to take any risks, I'm sure that you can agree with that Anthony."

I nodded my head and kept my arm wrapped tightly around Abigail's waist. "I do, but what exactly are we going to do?"

My father continued, "We're trying to figure that out. Jacob and his pack are on our side if anything major does end up happening. But you two should be aware that our last resort will be to change Abigail." He turned to Abigail, "I am sorry if you're not ready for that, I really am, but if it ends up being that serious…"

"It's okay."

I turned to Abigail and whispered, "We'll talk about this later."

She nodded her head and I kissed her lightly on the cheek, "But what exactly are we going to do right now?"

My dad turned to my mom and she continued for him, "Well, Alice can't really see the visions so clearly. We don't want to do this, but we think that you and Abigail should just…stay hidden for a little bit, only a few days so Alice can see something happening, clearly."

I was able to tell that my mom was sad about this, she continued, "We're going to see Charlie first, but then you two are going to isolate yourselves away from us from just a little while. Only to contact us in dire emergencies."

Then Jacob said, "You guys can keep in contact with us. We don't think it will change the Volturi's mind about anything."

I nodded my head, I could protect Abigail enough. The Volturi would never be able to touch a hair on her head. I wasn't completely indestructible, but I would do whatever I could to keep Abigail safe, and I wouldn't mind having a little alone time for her. She didn't like to get…intimate around our family.

Then to, I think everyone's surprise Abigail said something on the matter, "I'm sorry to be such a burden to everyone."

I turned to look at her but she was purposefully looking away from my eyes. Okay, we were definitely going to talk later. Grandma responded to her comment, "Honey, you're part of this family now. You're no burden to us at all."

Abigail nodded her head but I could tell that she was still uneasy about this situation, sometimes I could read her better then an open book with pictures and big, clear fonts. We told each other everything, she might have been my girlfriend, but she was also my best friend. I was more concerned as to why she never talked to me about this before, was something wrong? She trusted me right…?

I was too caught up in my thoughts to realize that everyone had joined the discussion without us in it. Jacob and my dad were talking while Courtney and my mom appeared to be…bonding, which must have been awkward. The rest of the family was just talking to themselves. Nobody had even paid any attention to us.

Abigail was just playing with her hands in the adorable way that they always did when she was nervous. Her hair was covering her face but I knew that she probably didn't want me to move it. I didn't want her to be any more uncomfortable.

I knew that I should be talking more to Jacob, he was practically my only friend that I wasn't related to, besides Abigail of course. But in all honesty, Abigail is more important, it's awfully selfish of me, I know. But it was the truth. I was still a little sore about him looking at her for longer then needed. And what if he had imprinted on Abigail? I can't live without her, I just can't. I wouldn't be able to take it.

Abigail turned to me and smiled, it was the smile she used when trying to cheer people up, not a completely genuine smile, but not a fake one either. "You should talk to Jacob. You haven't seen him in a while. I'll talk to the rest of the family. Go, have male bonding time."

Before I could even tell her that I would rather just stay there with her in my arms, she jumped out of my grip, I guess it wasn't as tight as I thought. She gave me a small peck on my forehead, messed up my hair a bit, then went over to talk to my aunts and uncles.

I sighed and walked over to Jacob who was no longer talking to my dad, he was probably able to hear Abigail's plan. "Hey Anthony. Look, I'm really sorry about what happened. I swear I didn't mean to."

I shook my head, "No it's okay. I know that I overreacted." I sighed, "It's just that well, our relationship is a little different then anyone else's. We haven't really gone on a date, ever. I've never really handled jealousy around her. I mean, no guy has ever stared at her. I just didn't know how to handle it."

He shrugged his shoulders, "It's okay. I remember I punched the first guy who put his eyes on Courtney. It was a lot of blood, but he was fine. I'm glad you didn't punch me."

I was more then happy that I didn't punch him. Abigail hadn't seen my violent side, and I could be really violent when I wasn't careful…Jacob knew about this already though. He laughed, "I remember that guy you almost beat up a few years back. The one who made the comment about your mom. Edward was going to kill the guy himself if you weren't already glaring at him."

I clenched my fists at the memory, I hated it when people said anything about my mom. That guy had off easy, my dad stopped me before I did anything illegal. My thoughts immediately went to thinking about what would have happened if the guy said the same comments about Abigail, I don't think that my dad could have stopped me that time.

I looked over, she was talking to Rosalie…alone, strange. I guess that would be added into our little talk later.

"Calm down Anthony. It was a long time ago. So nobody has exactly told me how you guys met and all of those details. You gonna fill me in?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "She goes to my school. I just saw her and I just, sort of knew ya know? It was almost as if time stopped in itself. I thought about her every second, I still do. I figured it was just a crush, but I was wrong. I touched her face by mistake one day. And it all just sort of fell into place after that."

He nodded his head, "You're really young you know that?"

Ugh, I was getting so sick and tired of people telling me that. "I'm 18. I'm an adult now."

He laughed, "I know that you know what you're doing and all, but do you ever think that you're going too fast? I mean I know that what you guys do in the bed isn't my business…"

I glared at him, I didn't like talking about when Abigail and I did when we were alone, "No, it's not." And when did Jacob get so responsible all of the sudden? He was always the carefree one.

He rolled his eyes, "I'm just looking out for you kid. She seems like a nice girl. And you seem to have fallen pretty far, don't let her go, you'll regret it." I nodded my head, I wasn't planning on it.

"So what about you and Courtney? She's really okay with the whole didn't imprint thing?"

He took in a deep breath, "It's really hard for us, I'm not going to lie about that. I don't want to meet my imprint. I don't care what people say about the whole soul mate thing, I love Courtney and I don't care if fate didn't want us together, because I love her, and I will always love her." he looked down, "I didn't think I would ever find my imprint, but tonight, I realized that it could be anyone. I mean if I imprinted on your girl over there, I don't know what I would do. It's just kind of a wake up call for me.

"It's selfish of me, I know it really is. Because if I do meet my imprint, Courtney will be heartbroken. And I don't want to lose her, I could never hurt her. I just don't want to do it. I don't care about what people say about being happy with your one true soul mate, I really don't. I have Courtney and I don't want anyone else."

I understood what he was saying, I really did. It had to have been hard for him. Living in that kind of uncertainty. Wanting to just be with the only person that you truly cared about. I had great respect for him for going through all of this.

"Sorry that all of this messes up with the wedding."

He nodded his head, "Yeah, it's okay. We were going to elope, but I figured that you guys would want to be there, and everyone else wanted to see us get married too. We might just elope anyways." he looked at me, so serious all the sudden, "Have you thought about that at all?"

I kind of had to laugh at that, "You tell me to take it slow, and then you talk to me about marriage?"

He laughed too, "Sex and marriage are two different things."

"Yeah, I know."

I sighed, the truth is, I had thought about marriage. A lot. Especially after our first night really together in that cabin. My dad always told me how him and mom got married straight out of high school. How he knew that he wanted to marry her from early on in the relationship and all. He came from the early 1900's I could tell where he was coming from. People married early back then.

And I do plan on marrying Abigail. I didn't know if it was what she wanted though. Because the truth is, we are young, and while I know that eventually it will happen, I don't know if she's ready for that. I mean she's probably going through so much right now. Her aunt, the Volturi, Jacob almost imprinting on her, taking her out of school. She hasn't seemed to mind any of it. But we hadn't really talked about it in a while, I guess that would all change tonight.

I simply shrugged my shoulders when Jacob asked me. I felt my dad's stare at me, of course he had been listening in on my thoughts, especially after the mention of the word, marriage.

A few minutes and a few laughs later it was time to go, it was already late and the four biotic creatures in the room who could actually sleep were all getting tired (myself included). We said our goodbyes. Jacob said that we should go on a double date some time. I smiled and had to agree, not only because I wanted to, but because Abigail would also like that.

Abigail wasn't falling asleep in the car ride home, but she wasn't talking either. I could tell that she was in deep thought because her nose would wrinkle occasionally and she didn't move my hand to her cheek.

I knew that I didn't like it when people listened in on my thoughts. (Cough. My dad. Cough.) But I didn't really mind when she did it. I liked feeling the warmth of her cheek, the softness of her skin. And sharing my thoughts with her wasn't so bad, being that I only thought about her anyways.

I wondered if she was sad. Maybe she really didn't want to spend all of this time with me, I hadn't been giving her that much space lately. Now that I think about it, I haven't given her any space lately, I was almost always with her.

We pulled up to the house. I sighed, I guess I would find out what goes on in that head of hers in a few minutes.

Okay, I love reviews and all of that. I respond to all of them, I seriously do. I love you reviewers to death, as well as my readers who don't review. That's okay, sometimes I don't review to a story, I do have anonymous reviewing though! So you don't need an account!

Seriously thought, I love reviews. They make my day, BUT if you all are too busy watching The Office tonight, or are busy googling the pilot episode so that you can understand the story plot, I will understand. Because it's an awesome show.

Thanks for reading, and sorry for the long Authors note that have nothing to do with anything! I will try to update soon.
