After a long day of classes I felt the lack of energy making me annoyed by every little thing around me..

"Something troubling you?" Ness whispered in my ear.

"No. Im just tired." I assured her and we kept walking down the hall.

"Promise?"

"Promise.." I smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss.

"Well. My class starts soon.." she said with a pout.

"You have another class?"

"Yeah. An extra one. With mom. I'll see you later. Will you be in our room when I'm done?"

"I think I'm gonna go into town for a bit. But just text me if you want me to come home and I will be there.." I leaned down and gave her a goodbye kiss. She smiled and walked away. I hate to see her go but I love to watch her walk away. Her body was perfect.

I took a walk into town and wandered around for a while and got some snacks for tonight. I was planning on seducing Ness since she had been a bit distant lately. One week.. I don't think we have ever gone this long.

"Jake..?" I heard a voice behind me. I slowly turned around.

"Hey, Lizz!" I have her a quick hug and hoped it would be quick. I wasn't that attracted to her but a week without sex and her wearing that.. I felt bad for even thinking it but I'm only human.. Well kind of.

"What brings you here?" she smiled as we walked through the store.

"Just getting some snacks and things for tonight." I held my bag up. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh just shopping and walking around." She shrugged her shoulders. I had never seen her this calm and down to earth.

"Ah.. shopping. Of course. That's all you girls do sometimes." I teased.

She laughed. "Not all the time. Just some times."

We got our things and walked out the store.

"Sooo… Do you wanna grab a cup of coffee or something?"

I hesitated but thought it was worth a shot. If we could just be friends then the fights with Ness might stop.

"Sure." I nodded. "Where?"

"There's this great little place about a block away. Café Crumb."

"Sound good." We started walking to the café and the first couple of seconds were filled with awkward silence.

"So how is it going with that guy?"

She smiled at the ground. "Not so good.."

"Why not?" I asked and held up the door to the café.

"I just don't think he likes me.." she shrugged her shoulders and we sat down. "Now what do you want?"

"Just a glass of water and a sandwich."

"I'll go get it." She smiled and walked over to the cashier.

I don't know if it was an act or if this was the "real" Lizz or some act she put on to actually get closer. I trust Ness more than anything and I can ignore Edwards "talent". If he says she want me.. I guess I have to believe him. Right?

"Here you go." She put a plate with my order in front of me and started eating her own.

"Thanks.."

"Something wrong?"

"No.. I was just thinking." I tried to conceal my worries with a smile.

"Really? About what..?" she smiled and leaned a bit closer over the table.

"Just.. school."

She gave me a weird look. "Really? JUST school? Come on something is bothering you. Tell me."

"No I was just thinking about school. I promise."

"You liar!" she giggled.

"I'm not lying!" I chuckled. "It's just things with Ness. I can't talk to other people about that stuff." Even though I wanted to talk to someone who wasn't as involved in the situation I knew I couldn't.

"Okay.. But I'm here if you wanna talk. I hope you know that." She smiled and took a bite of her cookie. She was so sweet and nice.

"Thanks.. The same to you." I mumbled and tried to hold back a smile.

"SOOO.. There is this party tomorrow night. You wanna come? It's at the same bar. My dad knows the owner so I can pretty much borrow it whenever I want to."

"Yeah. Sounds fun. I'll ask Ness."

"You have to ASK your girlfriend if you can come to a party?"

"If she wants to join me. I'm going if she wants me to or not." What did she think? That I was some kid who had to have his mommy's approval? Come on.. I know I can be a bit.. of a tail for Ness but not always.

"Okay.. If you say so." She teased and I picked up my phone to read a text.

Edward POV

"Alice?" I asked and my voice cracked. Her vision was terrifying. "Not again. It's impossible." I snarled.

Her face was still blank.

"ALICE!" I shouted. I had to get her to snap out of it. It wasn't a vision that would come true. It couldn't. I won't let it. "Alice come on.."

"What is she seeing?" Bella asked franticly. "Edward! TELL ME."

I turned around to her slowly. "Volturi.." I hissed. Her face turned cold with fear.

"No.. Impossible."

Alice's visions stopped and her face turned from blank to panic. "We have to go to them before they come here. The decision has been made but we have to stop them. We have to explain."

"How did they find out?" Bella sobbed without tears.

Alice's face turned blank as she tried to find a source.

"Nahuel?" I hissed. "HE TOLD THEM?"

Alice stood up right away and held her hands out. "NO! They have been keeping an eye on him. And when he went to the wedding… They knew. They got a reason to end us.. Again."

"The wedding was months ago. Why didn't they decide this before?" Rosalie snarled.

"Because they wanted to wait and see if Ness became pregnant short after the wedding." Alice whispered.

"Do we have to gather everybody again?" Bella asked.

"Why do they even want to end us? Because Renesmee married Jake?" Emmett asked.

"They are afraid of what they might breed.." Rosalie snarled back at him. Annoyed that he didn't understand.

"We have to go and explain that they can't. That she can't." Bella pleaded to me.

"She can." Carlisle interrupted. "We can't promise them that she can't. Because it's possible. It's a one in a million chance but so was she."

Bella put her hand around her stomach. Like she did when she was pregnant and wanted to constantly protect Renesmee. "They can't Edward…"

"I won't let them.." I assured her and put my arms around her. "I won't let them.." I whispered and kissed her.

Renesmee POV

I picked up my phone to text Jake. He had been gone for a while and I was getting worried.

-Where are you? I miss you!

-On my way home.

I looked at his text over and over again. It seemed so cold. Not like him.

-Okay. Well I can't wait to see you!

I waited a couple of minutes with my phone in hand but nothing.. He didn't answer.

After about twenty minutes he came home.

"Hey." He put a bag down on the desk. "Got some snacks."

I looked at the white clear bag. "And condoms.." I laughed.

"Well you never know." He smiled and laid down beside me in bed. "How was your day?"

"It was okay. Nothing exciting." I curled up in his arms.

"I can show you excitement.." he chuckled and laid on top of me. He kissed my neck and chest.

"You have been waiting for this haven't you?" I giggled.

"You have NO idea." He whispered and I felt him against my leg.

KNOCK KNOCK.

"God damn…" he groaned and rolled over.

"Come in." I shouted to the door.

Mom and dad rushed in. "We have to go."

"What?" Jake and I shouted. "Why?" I continued.

"We have a problem." Mom said.

My family had packed everything up and told the school that we had some private issues that we had to attend to. On the ride to the airport everyone was silent except for my dad and Alice who had their annoying "half conversations" where dad read her mind and she whispered back to him or even guessed his answers and concerns in her mind. Everything stayed the same on the plane ride home. No one talked.

I couldn't take it when we arrived home. "BUT I CAN'T GET PREGNANT!" I burst out. Everyone froze and looked at me.

My dad walked up to me slowly. "That's not the problem right now.."

"Then what's the problem?"

"They think you can. And that's enough for them."

"Well then explain to them."

"We are going to." Mom said. "We are leaving tomorrow."

"I'm coming with you." Jake said. NO! Was he crazy.

My dad nodded at him. NO! Was HE crazy to?!

"If he goes with you then I go with you."

"No.." Mom growled. "It's too dangerous."

"If you all are gonna go then I will to."

"Ness.." Jake whispered.

"NO. Either take me with you or I go myself."

My dad looked at me with anger. I knew he was afraid that I would get hurt but I had to do this. He snarled something and walked out of the room. The rest of my family followed.

"Jake I…"

"YOU WONT GO WITH US." He shouted. "IT'S TO DANGEROUS!"

I could honestly say that I had never seen him like this. "Jake…"

"NO. NO!" he started to walk around and clench his hands. "You will stay here. You will have time to run if anything goes wrong."

Run? No. Not without him. "Jake.. I can't stay behind."

"Well you have no choice." He hissed and walked away.

I bit my lip to hold back the tears. I wasn't going to cry and crumble down to the floor. I took a deep breath and stomped in to my dads room.

"I'm going with you!" I shouted.

"Okay.." he almost whispered and kept unpacking.

"What..? Okay? Before you would have ripped my head off if I said that."

"No. I would never do that." He said so calm that it almost annoyed me. "Would you like me to be mad at you instead?"

I shook my head. "No.." I looked down at the ground and walked outside. I sat down on the ground and looked up at the stars. I had never felt so lonely and lost.
