Hey guys! Okay, so I know I said I was going to have Alyssa's POV on my site, but the chapter ended up being quite important the more I wrote it, so I decided to just post it as a regular chapter. Enjoy!

*Alyssa's POV*

"Mom, have you seen my keys?" I asked as I fell to my knees, tossing clothes over my head. I didn't think they were in my dresser draw, but I couldn't find them anywhere else.

"Where did you put them last?" She asked from somewhere downstairs.

"If I knew I wouldn't be asking you!" I called back.

"Baby their on the hook… where they should be." I heard my dad say from my doorway.

"Oh," I smiled shyly, turning to look at him. "Oopse." I giggled, looking at the mess I made.

"Did a tornado come through here?" My mom laughed, appearing beside my dad in the doorway to my room.

"No," my dad laughed. "It was hurricane Alyssa."

"Nice," I rolled my eyes.

"Go on, I'll clean this up." My mom disappeared twirling around my room. My eyes weren't as good as my vampire family, so I couldn't see her moving around my room. I wouldn't have noticed she was here, if it wasn't for my clothes disappearing from the floor.

"I wish I had that kind of speed."

My mom suddenly appeared in front of me and I gasped, stepping back.

"Class, now." She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Fine," I groaned, turning to walk out my door.

"Perk up, baby girl." I couldn't keep a smile from my dad. Especially when he wanted one from me. I forced a smile, before walking down the stairs.

"Mom's car again?" I asked Renesmee as she stepped out of her mothers car.

"Don't remind me." She groaned, slamming the door shut.

She linked her arm with mine as we walked to our first class.

"It's really not that bad…" I trailed off when she glared at me.

"When you have to drive your mommy's car to school, then you can come talk to me. Until then, shut it."

"I'm surprised Jacob didn't demand to drive you… and walk you to each one of your classes." I couldn't help but giggle.

Renesmee rolled her eyes. "You have no idea how close he came to winning that argument this morning."

We were both laughing as we walked into the class room. Renesmee and I said a quick hello to Luke, but he seemed distracted to have a full conversation. I found that odd.

Renesmee yawned as she slumped down at her desk, laying her head on her arm

I laughed at her. "Your parents and Derek go out last night?"

"No." Her voice was muffled from under her arm. She peered over her arm, narrowing her eyes at me. "Why?"

"You look tired, I figured Jacob stayed-"

"Oh!" Renesmee leaped towards me, her arms flaring out, gripping my right arm. "Speaking of Jacob…" She trailed off, my words finally sinking in. "No! He didn't stay over, and thanks for telling me I look horrible."

"I didn't mean you look horrible… just finish what you were going to say." I huffed. Even for looking like she didn't sleep much, she still looked amazing. Benefit of being part vampire. I sighed. I'll be that way some day.

"Did you hear me?" Renesmee poked my arm.

"Sorry, I was marveling in the beauty that comes with being… you know."

"Alyssa!" Renesmee hissed.

"I'm sorry!" I shrugged. "What did you say? I'm all ears."

"I was talking about Jacob. He's taking a job."

"So."

"So?" Renesmee leaned back in her seat, letting her head fall back down on her arm. "Forget it." She sighed.

"Sorry… I guess I missed the negative in him getting a job?"

"Ladies?" The professor walked down the aisle towards us. "Is there something you would like to share with the class?"

Yeah, don't interrupt a half vampire and vampire-to-be while they're having a very important discussion. Renesmee put the words in my head as she sat up and smiled at our professor.

I snorted, trying not to burst out laughing.

"No, Sir." I choked out.

He groaned, "Mmhmm…" and looked at Renesmee.

"Nope." She smiled.

He turned and walked back to the front of the class to continue the lesson. A lesson that I had no idea what it was about.

As soon as his back was facing us, Renesmee and I all but shoved our fists in our mouths to keep from laughing.

That was a close one. I'm so distracted by this that I didn't even notice him walking towards us.

I nodded, peering at her from the corner of my eye and shrugged.

Anyway, how do you think I should tell Jacob that I think he should stay home, and possibly work whenever he got bored?

My eyes grew wide as I stared at her. She watched me as I slowly shook my head and mouthed, "no" to her.

I shouldn't tell him?

I shook my head quicker.

Why not, we could have more fun at home than if he had to go to work all day-

"Ness," I hissed. Normally we could have a full conversation without me talking-it beat sending notes back and forth-but she was too far into being a spoiled half-vampire to realize what a full human needs. "You have to understand that it's in a human's nature to work. It's what Jacob's build to do."

No, he's build to protect.

I rolled my eyes.

Okay, so in the supernatural world, he's build to protect.

I nodded.

But he's part werewolf and part human and has the desire to work. I'm part human, too, but have no desire to take a job. I don't need to.

I could almost understand where she was coming from. I didn't need a job after college either. I could take one if I wanted, but the amount of money our entire family had, Renesmee and I were set for life-vampire life. But she was being way to selfish about all of this.

"Listen, if Seth wants to work after we're married than he can. It's not only a human trait, but it's as old as time. Men have always been the provider of the household."

My mother didn't raise me that way… well technically both my parents raised me as them being equals to the money we have. But my dad isn't the one bringing home all the money, and neither is my mom. Same for your parents… Renesmee trailed off when she noticed Luke starring at us.

"Everything okay?" Renesmee asked, shifting uncomfortably in her chair.

"Either you're some freak witch, or you two are so close that the conversation only needs to go one way."

"We've been together basically all our lives." Renesmee bit her bottom lip and slumped down in her chair. I wondered if she could hear my heartbeat because it was pounding in my ears.

The day went by pretty quick, of course Luke was there to greet Renesmee outside the room for lunch. I figured we scared him away from the one sided conversation he caught us having, but I was wrong. He offered to buy her lunch again, but I could tell he was nervous to ask. His eyes searched the hall around us.

"Can I bring my cousin?" She asked, linking her arm with mine. Like that was going to save her if Jacob happened to see them together. Did she really think I could stand between her and Jacob? I would be the first to run as far away from them as I could. Vampire me could definitely play the hero of the day, not little human me.

"Sure," Luke smiled slightly. I wondered why he looked so disappointed. It's not like Renesmee was available, and he saw how big Jacob was. Did he think he still had a chance with her?

"How was the ride home yesterday?" Luke asked when we sat down.

Renesmee poked at her sandwich. "My ride home?" She asked, peeking at him through her eyelashes.

"Yeah, with your significant other. He looked pretty mad. I figured you weren't going to be in today… or any other day this semester."

She sat back in her chair, folding her arms across her chest. "Why would you think that?"

Luke Shrugged. "He's a big guy… is it even possible for someone to be that big? I mean, without taking anything, or having some kind of superpower."

"Superpower!" I slapped the table as I laughed. "That's a good one."

I stopped when both Renesmee and Luke stared at me. I flinched when Renesmee kicked me from under the table.

Good cover-up. She rolled her eyes.

I caught Luke smirk, but his eyes fell to his plate.

"He's not on anything." Renesmee said, her voice drenched with anger.

"He's big." Luke repeated.

"So I've heard." Renesmee sighed. "Look," she stood up, taking her tray with her. "I have a lot of work to do for my next class. Thanks for lunch."

"I've taken that class. I'll help you." Luke offered.

Renesmee froze mid-stride, relaxing her face before she turned back to him. "Fine." She said quickly and tossed her un-touched lunch in the garbage.

I excused myself to call Seth. I normally always spoke to him during my lunch, but I was forced to sit with Renesmee. She didn't like the fact that I was leaving her to be with Luke, probably because she was nervous about Jacob seeing them and thinking something totally unnecessary.

"I was just going to call you." Seth said. I had to smile at the way he sounded anxious.

"Sorry, Ness forced me into a lunch date-no, wrong word… she wanted me to sit with her and Luke."

"Ah… yes, Jacob?"

"Probably. He didn't show up today, but she wanted me just in case. You have to talk to him. Let him know that Luke's not a bad guy…" I trailed off, remembering the fact that he noticed mine and Renesmee's half conversation.

"Everything okay?" Seth asked when I became quiet.

"Hold on." I said softly as I hurried towards a bench outside, away from the other students. "Okay, well, Nessie and I were sort of talking in Nessie's special way… and well, Luke sort of caught us."

"How?" Seth asked, his voice alarmed. I could almost see him gripping the phone too tight in his hands.

"He was listening, but I was answering some of Renesmee's inner monologue."

"She's got to be more careful. You think I should inform Bella and Edward?"

"No!" I said quickly. "Don't get them involved. You'll just get her in trouble. He didn't really think anything of it. I'm pretty sure we got ourselves out of it."

"Are you sure? It could be dangerous for outsiders to know our secret."

"Seth, Renesmee knows how to handle her gift-" I was cut off by a hand on my shoulder. I screamed, jumping to my feet and dropping my phone.

"Alyssa?" I heard Seth's voice frantically calling out to me.

"Luke… I thought you were with Nessie."

"I was, had to go to the bathroom. Someone giving her a gift?"

I bent down to pick up my phone, but kept my eyes on Luke. "I'm fine, Seth, Luke just startled me."

"He's there? Where's Renesmee? Are you alone with him?"

"No," I groaned. "College… lots of people." I tried being discreet, but it wasn't working out too well.

Luke waited patiently for me to answer his question.

"I'm," I swallowed loudly. "I'm talking to her uncle, he's asking about a wedding gift for her."

"Good girl." Seth whispered. "How much of that conversation did he hear? You want me to grab Jacob? We could be there in two minutes."

"All good." I said to Seth.

"Lyss, if you-"

"I'll tell Ness you called, but I have to get to class." I said and hung up the phone. I didn't know how else to tell him I was fine. Though I could guarantee both Jacob and Seth would be here when class ended.
