He closed his book and smiled as he got up and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her cheek.

"Another perfect score for you?"

She nodded as she thought about it. 

Renesmee: Yeah... 

She said looking out the window. 

Renesmee: You're pack is out there, looking up here, I'm guessing they want to have a chat with you.

He looked down there and sighed. He kissed her cheek then headed for the door.

"I'll be right back."

She nodded as she knew they didn't like talking with her there, she may be with Jacob , but she was still a Cullen and that was enough for some of them to not trust her.

He went out and talked to them for a few minutes then went back to the dorm room frowning.

He tried to hide what he was thinking and feeling with a smile.

"Since you aren't studying, what would you like to do?"

She could tell something was wrong, he couldn't hide it from her. 

Renesmee: What did they tell you?

He sat on the edge of the bed.

"My father died."

She frowned when he said that as she was thinking about it. 

Renesmee: I'm sorry... Do you need to go to the village?

She asked wanting to be supportive, but knew he had things to do as well.

He shook his head.

"I'll go tomorrow. Take this mid-term first. Dad would want me to take it."

She nodded as she looked at him as she was thinking about it. 

Renesmee: Alright. 

She said as she held his hand a bit, wanting to comfort him.

He let go of her hand and pulled her into his arms. He needed to hold her close at the moment.

"Don't ever leave me, Nessy. I need you in my life."

She leaned against him hearing what he said as she was thinking about it.

Renesmee: I need you in my life, as well.  I'm not going any place.

He kissed the top of her head and held her close. He didn't even realize that he was crying.

"I'm going to miss him."

She thought about it as she was leaning against him. 

Renesmee: I'm sorry...

They stood there for a long time just holding each other while he cried for his father. He finally let her go and gave a little smile.

"Thank you, Nessy."

She nodded as she looked at him. 

Renesmee: Are you feeling better?

He nodded and sat on the end of their bed.

"Much better. Guess I just needed to get the feelings out."

She sat down looking at him as she didn't fully get emotions yet, growing up so fast, and with her family death wasn't something she seen a lot of , but knew he was hurting, and understood that she didn't like when he felt this way. 

Renesmee: I'm here for you.

He leaned toward her and kissed her softly.

"I'm glad you are here with me right now. I don't think I would have handled that news very well alone."

She looked at him when he said that as she was thinking about it as she kissed him back.

Renesmee: I'm where I'm meant to be.

She said looking at him.

Renesmee: We need to get to class though for mid terms, or we'll miss them..

He nodded his head and grabbed his books. He piled hers ontop of his and slid his arm around her waist.

"I'm ready for this. I think."

She looked up at him when he said that as she thought about it.

Renesmee: I know you are.  You know this stuff, you've studied and did all the work.  You'll do just fine.

He wasn't worried about knowing the stuff. He was worried about being distracted by thoughts of his father.

"If I don't get a good score, maybe I can retake it later."

She thought about it.

Renesemee: Why not talk to the professor and just see about waiting, I'm sure he would understand.

He thought about it then nodded.

"Probably best."

He walked with her to class and talked to the professor. He got an extra week for the exam.

He kissed Renesmee softly.

"Good luck, Nessy. I'll be in our room when you are finished."

She nodded as she watched him go, she sat down, and when they were allowed to start the test, it only took her a few minutes to do all the muliple choice and then a few more minutes to do the essay, she then got up and handed it in, as the teacher looked through it, shaking his head, seeing she had a perfect score again, as he let her go early, knowing she weas wanting to be there for Jacob... She went back to thier room as she had stopped getting some of his favorite food on the way and then went in, she smiled hearing the shower running as she set things down.

Resemee: I'm back.

She said not sure if he wanted to be bothered or not.

He heard her come in and shut off the water. He grabbed a towel and wiped his face first so she wouldn't see that he had been crying again. He wrapped it around his waist then went into the other room.

"How was the exam?"

She walked up to where he was as she could tell he had been crying as she lightly touched his cheek then leaned up kissing it, as she was thinking about it

Renesmee: It'll be alright.

She said as she kissed him softly..

He rested his head against hers.

"He was the only family I had left after my sister left us. He was my best friend.

She looked at him when he said that.

Renesmee: I know I can not take his place, but you do have me here.. I can be your best friend now.

She said kissing him softly..

He looked at her when she said that.

"You have been my best friend since before you were born."

He kissed her softly.

"I love you, Nessy."

She kissed him back as she looked up at him.

Renesmee: I love you, Jacob..

He looked into her eyes and smiled softly.

"I like this together forever stuff."

She nodded as she looked up at him.

Renesmee: So do I...

He smiled softly.

"I never have to worry about losing you."

He held her close to him.

"Come back to the village with me."

She nodded as she looked at him as she was more than willing.

Renesmee: I'll go any place you want me too..

He laced his fingers through hers and nodded.

"Let's go talk to the rest of our professors and get an extension on the rest of our exams."

She nodded as she looked at him as she waited for him to get dressed so they could do it...

He got dressed then held his hand out to her.

"Ready?"

She smiled warmly and nodded as she took his hand and then followed him as they left to talk to the teachers.  Once that was done they went heading to his village so he could talk with the pack and work things out...

He kept an arm around her shoulders as he drove them back home. He had missed the village, but Edward and Bella had insisted on Nessy going to college. He agreed that it was important. She was what made it bearable for him.

He pulled up to the house he had lived in with his father. He sat just looking at the house.

"Maybe we should go to Carlisle's instead."

She thought about it as she shook her head, taking his hand knowing that he needed to do this... She walked in with him so he would have support...

Renesemee: I'm here with you...

He squeezed his hand and nodded.

"I'm sure your father knows you are here anyway."

He kissed her cheek.

"Let's go inside."

She nodded as she held his hand as she went in with him.  She stayed quiet as she was just supporting him, letting him do what he needed, after about an hour they walked out as the others from the village where gathered round...

He saw the others there. He didn't bother with a fake smile. They would understand.

He looked at his friends.

"Thank you everybody. I hope you understand that I just want to be alone tonight."

He knew that Renesmee knew that it didn't include her. He would always want her around.

She nodded as she looked at him.  She watched his friends go leaving them as they started to walk around a bit....

He held onto her hand not wanting to let her go. He looked around the village and sighed.

"It feels odd being here without him."
