Chapter 5.
That's Mia and Elizabeth, remember Mia's the blonde. Read on.
*********************************
I woke up and I felt good!! I went to my bathroom and had a nice bath. I wore black denim pants and white tank top under a black jacket and white sneakers. Ready!! I combed my hair and wore a base ball cap. I went down, grabbed a toast and drove off to school.
Audroun. The private school of your dreams, it's amazing and cool, sometimes boring and stupid. But it's just High school, all high school!! Sometimes you see the cheerleaders being bitchy and see them cry in the restroom, you see the arrogant jorks run miles to be perfect and to feel good, sometimes feeling insecure. Sometimes I wonder, if people like Tiffany understands. They only think we have a perfect life and a perfect appearance. But it's all bullshit!! They don't know what is going on in their home. Why they're like who they are. They can't know!! But I don't really pity them you know. They can't just use that anger on other people like Mellisa, Raini's even better sometimes if it's not involved with Mellisa cause she defends Mellisa all the time. And it's because Mellisa has always been there for her. Everything's just fucked up!!
"Beth!!" James' voice took me back to reality.
Take a look at James. The others might think he's going on a cruise with boobs but guys just really trying to get over his break up. Mixed with anger. I can see it!! He's just trying to hide it.
"Hey!!" I said and he put his hands round my shoulders and pecked me.
"How was your night?" He asked me.
"Nice I guess." I said and we continued walking towards the hall.
"Hey dude!!" Eddie and Noah greeted him, giving him high fives. Then they ruffled my hair hugging me.
"Okay break. Break!!" I said and Noah left me. I catched my breath. Then Frank and Jonathan and Simon joined too ruffling my hair. Jonathan and Simon giving me a hug. Then Jonathan put his arm round my shoulders as Simon said.
"Becareful Jona, Kel's not nice this days!!" And we all laughed.
"Thank you, really thank you!!" I heard Kelvin say as he winked me, coming with Desmond and Spencer. They gave Eddie and James a bro shake, and the other guys.
"Take a look at them!!" James said as I looked up. The basketball team was also heading this way. Oh oh!! This doesn't end well. Mike came to the front. Oh, he's around?
"No fighting!!" He said and they all roll their eyes.
"Hey gang!!" Mia popped in and they all gave her a death Hug.
"I can't breath!!" Mia said an they departed. I smiled as I hugged her. And we held hands.
"How was your night?" I asked her.
"Terrible!! I was thinking of ways to get rid of Jeremy!!" She said.
"He disturbed you?" James asked.
"Yeah!! Making me feel guilty." She said and James put her head on his chest.
"Sorry honey drop." He said. I smiled and bump...... I look up. Levi.
"Guy you got to watch where you're going!!" James spat. Levi smirked at James.
"I watched the highlights. You were almost defeated!!" He said.
"But we weren't." Jonathan said.
"By extra time last minute. What gave you that spirit?" Levi asked. Mark joined the group smirking.
"Your cousin!!!" Simon said. Mark chuckled while Levi eyes lit up. Oh oh. Let me tell you something. Levi's sister Ivy loves soccer, she's a junior and has a big ass. Simon's obsession.
"She kept yelling my name making me feel hyped you know. So hyped. She was shaking that ass. Gosh I felt on top of the world!!" Simon added. Oh geez. The others chuckled. That I meant, Noah, Mark, Desmond, James, Jonathan and Eddie. They're the jerks!!
"Wow!! Levi was right!! You're such a jerk!!" I heard Ivy say. Her eyes tearing up. She walked away.
"Ivy!!" Simon yelled trying to go but Levi held his hand.
"You want to see my cousin?" Levi smirked.
"Leave me alone Levi!!" Simon said.
"Why? So you can hurt her?" He asked her.
"Oh please, if all the girls you've fucked had over protective cousins. Did you think you'll get any?" Simon asked. Oh oh!!!
"Okay guys, break!!" I said.
"Liz stay out of this!!" Kelvin said. Dragging me behind his back. And James pulled Mia behind him too. Levi's hand was in a fist. His thumb out. So Barbie was right.
"Do you really want to be kicked out? It's not like Audroun's is your level?" Simon asked. Levi's hand lessened. He dragged him by his collar.
"Beat him to a pump Levi!!" Adrian, his best friend said. But Levi just sigh and left Simon and came to Kelvin chest passing them. Thank God!!
"Better!!" Kelvin mumbled.
"Kelvin!!" I said. Levi came back.
"What did you just say?" Levi said.
"I said Better!!" Kelvin replied. Next time when my boyfriend is acting insane, please remind me to kill him first before letting him say or do anything!!! Levi wanted to hit him, but Kelvin ducked, and i was dragged sideways. I looked up at my savior. Barbie, Jace.
He raised his head up to see Kelvin looking at me with guilty eyes. Oh really?
"Kelvin!!" James said coming to me looking at Jace, Jace sighed and removed his hands from mine and James nod. He left. James looked at me.
"Are you okay!" He asked me. I nod.
"Thanks to Jace." I replied. He dragged me and put his arm round my shoulders.
"Okay Levi you can leave!!" He said and grabbed Mia with his other hand and walked us to the lockers. Everyone's eyes on us and the stupid jerks.
"Adrian looks hot today!!" Mia said trying to make the mood more lively.
"Beth, you sure you're okay? Kelvin!" He said.
"Hey, it was reflex action and Jace was there to help!!" I said.
"What if he wasn't there?" He asked stopping abruptly.
"Then I'll have a red eyes and get a pass to leave school yay!! But then the pretty face will be gone." I said smiling.
"Not funny!!" He said and continued walking.
"It is!!" I and Mia said and we all chuckled!!
Lunch, I am so happy. I ran to the lunch lady and bought my food, today is muffin day. I got my meatball and muffins, I got three!! And sat on the table.
"Hey Liz!!"
"Hey Lizzy!!"
"Oh Liz!!"
"Hi guys!!" I said brushing my palm together. Someone dropped two muffins in my place. I looked up. Mike.
"Sorry for that!!" He said.
"Kelvin's an ass!!" Noah said.
"No, I think he forgot she was behind him." Frank said. I shrug and ate my muffin.
"Technically it was all Simon's fault for mentioning Ivy. I thought I said no fighting!!" Mike said. It was that moment Ivy passed and Simon looked at her, she walked away. I smirked. I sense something!
"It's Kelvin's.... If he hadn't said anything..." Frank started.
"No, it was Simon's!!" Jonathan said. Urgh!! I continued eating.
"Kelvin"
"Simon"
"Kelvin"
"Simon"
"That's alright!!" Simon yelled and we all stood quiet.
"It's my fault. It's all my fault!!" He said and left the cafeteria. Jonathan stood up, i held his hand.
"Do you know Simon at all?" I asked him. He nod and sat. Five minutes later, I stood up taking two muffins with me and went to the field seeing Simon run like a crazy person. Typical Simon!! He does this all he time when he's guilty, mad or feeling like he's stupid, he runs for approximately 30 minutes without stopping. I blocked his way with my leg. He saw me and stopped. I stood straight and handed him an handkerchief.
-----------------
"I'm sorry!!" He said.
"It's okay!! I didn't even get hit, you guys are just over reacting. Besides, It's everyone's fault Simon." I said and he grinned.
"Mostly mine."
"So how do you think we can resolve Ivy's issue?" I asked him. He looked at me and I raised my eyebrows.
"No.... No, I don't!!" He said looking down, his whole face, tomato red!!
"Then why are you avoiding my gaze. Why are you blushing? Why are you...."
"It doesn't matter!!" He snapped. I sighed.
"We can't work!" He told me.
"And why do you think you can't work?" I asked him.
"Okay, give me one reason why you think we can work?" He asked me.
"You like her!! And i know she likes you too!!" I told him. He looked at me.
"No way!! How did you know that?" He asked me.
"Hello I'm a girl. And I know when I like somone." I said.
"Oh really, I thought you were a boy!!" He teased. I punched him playfully on his shoulder.
"Hey!!" I huffed. He sighed.
"It can't just happen Liz. Thanks anyway!!" He said. I sigh.
"Muffin?" I asked him and he collected on from me.
"Cheers to Ivy and Simon's shattered love!!" I said. He raised his eyebrows.
"Seriously?" He said as I bumped my muffin with his.
"Seriously." I said. He sighed and put his head on my shoulders.
"In my dreams Liz. In my dreams."
--------------------
School was over and I couldn't find Kelvin. I carried my books and went to Jace's study. Oh my God!! Jace was shirtless!! And God damn Greek god!! He was doing push ups!! He looked at me and smirked. He came to me...... And closed the door oh, then he went three feet back. And sat on the couch.
"Take a picture, it'll last long!!" He told me and I went back to reality. I sighed and turned. Oh, I turned to the front again, then back. Geez, get it together!!
"Hey. Hmm... Hi, hello!!" I said. Shut the fuck up!
"Hey, hello hi!!" He smirked.
"I sit. I mean, I'll sit down now." I said and he wore his shirt back. No....... I mean, yeah thank you!!
"I think you won't concentrate well." He said. I scoff.
"Duh!! Doesn't affect me at all!!" I said. He looked at me and moved a feet closer, I moved a feet away. He came closer and I went back. He came closer, I hit the wall. Shit!! He came to me. Inches apart. My heart beating!!!! He took off his shirt and put a hand on the wall beside me. Our nose touching!! Butterflies, butterflies go away!!!!!! Hormones!!!!!!!!!!! Kick him, kick him. But i just stood there he traced my face with his eyes. He's gonna kiss me, so gonna kiss me. Pull away!! Kick him in the balls. My brain was screaming red light, red light, but my body can't process!! He bent, my heart beating. Grabbing my waist with his other hand. Then....
"Gotcha!!" He whispered to my ear. Urgh!! Tingles..... Wait what?! He left me and sat on the couch. I closed my eyes in relief. Though I have this kind of feeling. My brain is turning and my heart is exploding!!! My legs are feeling woggly. I opened my eyes and sighed. Get yourself together.
"I'm waiting!!" I heard his sexy voice. Shit!! Go away!! I sighed and went to his desk, I saw a book and I went to him and hit him with it!! Jerk!
"Don't you ever do that again!!" I told him as I turned to go.
"And I wanted to tell you thank you for saving me but...."
"You won't. So now what?" He asked.
"Don't....."
"Don't what?"
"Jace!!" I yelled. And stormed out of the study. I went to my car.
"Liz, I want to say sorry for...." I heard Kelvin say, but I'm too mad to answer. I grabbed my bag from my car and walked. I didn't know where I was going but I knew I was going somewhere!!!! I stopped at my tracks when I saw that I was in the swimming pool. I changed to my swim suit and I went to the pool. I dived in and started with the crawl!! Why didn't I push him? Why am I so stupid? Why? I looked like a fool!! I'm such a fool!! Why?? Suddenly I couldn't really breathe!! I closed my eyes!!!
-------------
I opened my eyes, everything blurr!!! I looked up to see James and Kelvin.
"She's awake!!" I heard a squeal. I sighed. And Mia!!
"Beth, can you hear me?" He asked me.
"Yes dum dum!!" I muttered and they all smiled.
Okay, I drowned and Kelvin saved me. Awwn!!!! I'm going to receive a sermon now. Yay, I'm being sarcastic right now.
"Why would you even think of drowning yourself? Are you insane?" James asked me.
"I'm sorry papa." I said.
"I was scared!!" He said and I smiled.
"I thought I'll lose you." He said and I shrug.
"You won't bear!!" I said and he hugged me. Giving me a kiss on my forehead, two cheeks, nose.
"Let's go!!" He said and he carried me bridal style to the car and Mia came in too with Kelvin.
"Muffin!!" Mia said.
"Cupcake!!" Kelvin said.
"Guys, chocolate chip muffin or cupcake?" Mia asked.
"Muffin!!" We both answered.
"But..... Oh forget it." Kelvin said. And I smiled. I was in the passenger seat, Kelvin and Mia, back seat.
-----------------
"She drowned?" Eliza yelled when James replied her question why I looked pale and bad. Why is she yelling? It's not like she care!!
"I'll be up!!" I said and wanted to go up
"She should've drowned!!" I heard Betty mumble. I turned and gave her a slap. Geez.
"Oh thank you for saying that!! I really appreciate!!" I said.
"Beth...."
"Leave!!" I yelled. Kelvin tapped James and Mia. They shrug and Kelvin left.
"Enough is enough Betty. Enough!! I'm sick of being labeled a curse. I'm sick of pretending to be okay when I'm not!! I'm sick of telling people my sister's are the best. I'm sick of defending. I'm sick of keeping quiet!!" I yelled.
"You killed my mother!!" She yelled.
"She's my mother too!!" I yelled.
"People grew up with mother's. You grew up with your mother. Did I? I grew up with hatred and scorn but I'll not accept it anymore!! I'm tired of all these. Did i even know anything? I was innocent!!! I didn't know anything. It was just a coincidence. She wasn't strong!! But she gave me the name Elizabeth because she knew she'll die and she wanted us to be United and she coined Eliza and Betty together!!! She expected you to groom me, to love me like a sister would. But did you? Did any of you did..... You all neglected me. Even Father!!!..... Even Father!!" I said. My throat aching me.
"But if you want me to leave, fine!!! I will!!!" I yelled. I ran to my room and entered my closet, I carried my box and opened it. I grabbed some clothes in my box and another. I grabbed another box and put clothes there too. I grabbed shoes. Boots, Sneakers, flats, hells in another box and zipped them. I touched my aching chest and sighed. I carried the boxes one by one outside.
"Beth..."
"Lizzy!".
"Don't!!" I yelled and they both backed off. I sighed as I carried my bags out. Eliza was just standing there.
"What's is the ruckus here?" I heard my Father's voice. I sighed and turned.
"I'm leaving!!" I told him. He sighed and looked at me.
"You're not stepping an inch from there." He told me.
"Why? Am I going to be a prisoner too? It's not like you care so just let me leave!!" I said carrying two bags.
"Elizabeth!!"
"Just let me go!!! You want me out of your life so let me go!!! I'm tired of living like a stranger!! I'm tired of living in hell!! Sorry I sweared but I got to go my own way!!" I said. I went out and boarded a taxi. I put my loads in and got in.
"Where miss?" He asked me. I sighed.
"Anywhere!!" I said. I didn't even know where I was going. But one thing I know is that I'm finally free.
"Miss, you don't look well. Should I take you to the hospital?" He asked me.
"No!!"
"How about the park? Seems you need some air." He said. I sighed.
"Okay."
We got to the park and I sat on the bench, my load with me.
"Here!!" The taxi driver said, handing me an ice cream.
"Go back home. Life's not easy alone. You live in a beautiful mansion!! Why leave?" He said. I scoffed.
"You know how beautiful and attractive this ice cream is?" I said. He looked at the ice cream.
"It could be very bitter when you taste it. What you see on the outside might not be what you see on the inside!!" I told him. He nodded and patted my shoulder.
"I'll come back to see if you've changed your mind!!" He said and left. Then something cold was on my skin. I looked down. My Ice cream's melting. I had a call. I checked it, unknown number. Who is this? Whatever, I don't care!!! James called later, and Mia but I didn't pick. I just licked my ice cream enjoying the taste. When I was done, I cried my eyes out.
"There you are?" I heard a voice. I looked up. Whoa!! It's already night!!!
"James!!" I said. He sighed and put his jacket round me and hugged me.
----------------
We were both eating popsicles and pizza in a diner. My luggages beside me.
"You can come to my place." James said.
"Thanks!!" I said.
"Just eat!!" He said and I shrug.
----------------
"Oh my God!!" Lily said when she saw me. I faked a smile as she sat me down on the couch.
"How are you feeling now?" She asked me.
"I'm.... My throat aches." I told her and she hugged me.
"You need something hot and drugs!!" She said.
"Liza!!" Jayden said and hugged me handing me a muffin. Even Jayden knows I like Muffins. Unlike my so called boyfriend. KELVIN!!
"Thanks!!" I said.
"What's wrong daughter?" Leo asked sitting beside me. This is what a family is! This is what it feels to be loved! With tears in my eyes, i hugged Leo and Jayden joined to, and Lily.
"Hey, don't forget me!!" James yelled and joined too.
After hugging, we ate dinner and I was given drugs which I reluctantly used. Then I had shower and I went to my room. Since when we were kids and I came for sleepovers, I had always used this room. It even has a big potrait of James and i. We were just twelve and we went to the park. And we took pictures. Good times. And then I felt lonely. Then my door was knocked. I straightened.
"Come in!!" I said and Lily, Jayden and James came in. I smiled and Lily sat beside me on my right. And Jayden at the left James stood my the doorstep.
"We just wanted to check up on you!!" Jayden said and Lily nodded.
"Well, I'm fine." I said. I looked up and James raised his eyebrows. I grinned. He shook his head and I nod. H smiled and nodded. We do this all the time.
"Mom, she needs to sleep." James said. Lily nodded. She pecked me on the forehead head.
"Let's go Jay!!" Lily said.
"Thanks. Goodnight!!" I told her.
"Goodnight!!" They both said. James went out and the two left. James came back with a pillow and laid beside me.
"Should I turn on the show?" He asked. I nodded. One thing I like about this room too is because.... James tapped the button. And switched off the night stand. It showed the starry night with the Stars. We always put it on on every sleepover and this is just so amazing. I smiled. I sighed.
"Do you think they'll be worried?" I asked him. He looked at me and shrug.
"Chance!!" He said. I nodded and put my head on his chest.
"Why is your chest beating?" I asked. I gasped.
"You ate canapes!!" I asked me.
"A little!!" He said. I sat up.
"A little?" I asked him. He dragged me back to his chest.
"I miss it!!" He said.
"Stubborn honeydrop!!" I said and he giggled.
"Why am I the honeydrop? I thought it was Mia?!" He asked me and I roll my eyes.
"I thought I was the honeydrop?" I said and we both chuckled.
"No, I'm the bear. You're the honey and Mia's the honeydrop!!" He said. I smiled.
"What about Cinnamon?" I asked him
"She's my babe." He said. Cinnamon and James kinda had a fling in 9th grade though.
"Whatever!!" I said and we both giggled.
"Good night Beth!!" He said and pecked my forehead.
"Goodnight Papa bear!!" I said and wrapped my hands round his waist. I closed my eyes.
"Sweet dreams!!" I mumbled.
"Oh I will." He said. I smiled.
----------------
The next day I woke up and I felt someone's hands on my waist. I smiled and saw peaceful James. I carefully pulled away and yawned. I rubbed my eyes and went to my box, I unzipped it and grabbed my underwears, black sweats and a brown tank top under a red sweatshirt. I went to the bathroom. I had a nice shower and wore my clothes. I got out and started drying my hair. James was shirtless only wearing boxers. I smiled.
"Morning Papa bear!!" I said and he grabbed me by the waist and planted a kiss on the forehead and I pecked him. Then I pushed him.
"Go have a shower. You stinky!!" I said and he giggled. Then he looked at me from up to toe.
"What happened?" He asked me. I sighed.
"I just want to wear something comfortable!!" I replied and he nodded. He took me to the mirror table and made me sit on the chair. He dried my hair with the hand dryer and I smiled.
"Singing in the shower, dancing in the mirror...." We sang as I smiled.
"Off key!!" I yelled at James and he giggled so did I.
-----------------
We ran downstairs and I took the toast.
"I won!!" I cheered.
"Uhmp!!" He groaned and I smiled. I gave him my toast and he danced.
"Yay I won!!" He said and I shook my head laughing. I got to the dining and Jayden and Leo were on their disastrous concert again.
"Oh morning Liz!!" Leo said.
"Liza!!" Jayden standing up and hugging me.
"That's alright Jayden. She'll stop breathing." I heard Lily say. He left me alone and Lily pecked me.
"How was your night honey?" She asked me.
"Fantastic!!" I said as she gave me my plate full of pancakes. Yummy!! I poured honey on it and started eating.
"Crossed arms!!" James yelled. Leo and Lily crossed arms and fed them selves. I crossed arms with Jayden and fed him as he fed me. I looked over at James giving me a glare. We all burst laughing.
"Whatever, whatever!!" He said eating his pancakes angrily. I used my fork to take a bit out of my pancakes and held it out for him to him. He smiled and ate it.
"Now eat!!" I said Patting his shoulder.
"Oh I will!!" He said and we all laughed.
--------------------
I got to school with James and we met Mia.
"Hey, how are you?" She asked hugging me.
"Better!!" I said smiling. She handed me a Nutella and I hugged her.
"Squad hug!!" She yelled and we hugged.
"Then the magnet will attract....." Someone bump me, I turned. Mia, she gave me a ruffled paper. I checked it.
Should we just sleep and get detention and eat muffins?
I shook my head and wrote back.
Detention is not going on my application!!
And she rolled her eyes and wrote back.
Whatev's I'm getting out of this hell!!
I turned to her and made sure the teacher was not looking.
"Why do you come to school then?" I whispered and I turned back.
"To have fun with you and...." Miss. Lexi cleared her throat. Oh oh!!
"Whispering in my class Mia?" She asked and Mia nodded.
"Should i make it easy for you two to continue by going to detention?" She asked.
"No, please!!" I begged
"Be careful!!" She said and continued, I gave Mia a glare and she shrugged.
-----------------
Lunch period and I'm so starving, ooh!! This Calas looks amazing!!! I sat on the seat and they all looked at me.
"Sweatshirt Lizzy. What's up?" Jonathan and Noah asked. I roll my eyes. Ariana sat with Frank.
"Don't start now you two!! Hey Liz." She said.
"Hi!!"
Mike came, greeted everyone, Simon and Kelvin came together and greeted everyone. Mia ran to sit so did Genevieve and Eddie, Spencer came with his bimbo for today and so did Desmond say down too. Now Flora and Mark together with his bimbo too were coming to sit. Now Rhea and James we're also on their way. Only four space left. James suddenly took note of that and ran to sit. Rhea's heels making her unfit to run. Flora walked faster and Mark and his girl were busy talking. Flora and Rhea catched up and sat at the same time. Then we all looked bad. Who is going to sit between those two? The girl or the guy? Geez, I carried my tray and left the cafeteria. I was on my way to the bleachers when I met Jace, I turned.
"Elizabeth...." I heard him call me but I just walked faster. Like it helped, he dragged me making me startle and my food poured.
"Why does this always happens when you're around?" I asked as he saw Jeremy.
"Clean this up!!" He told him and dragged me to his study. He closed the door.
"How are you? I was scared yesterday.....".
"Scared that what?" I snapped. He looked at me.
"He didn't tell you?" He asked me.
"What?" I asked him. He removed his hands from my hands and moved back.
"Nothing!!" He said
"Since it's nothing. I'm going." I told him.
"Wait!!"
"What?"
"I dropped your food so I should pay for that!!" He told me and opened a pizza box.
"Oh!!" I said and he handed me one in a plate.
"How did you get to have Pizza?" I asked him.
"Hmm, I order." He said.
"Oh okay!!" I said and started eating.
"I hmm....., Finished our project." He said. I dropped the pizza.
"Alone? We were supposed to do it together!!" I told him.
"I figured you wanted me to stay out!!" He said.
"But I told you, Library...."
"I can't!!" He said. I sighed. I went to him and removed his glasses and removed his hoodie exposing his beautiful, handsome, gorgeous face. This is dangerous. I bit my lip and and sigh.
"Why are you like this?" I asked him.
"Why.... Why do you conceal your face? Are you a wanted?" I asked him. He looked at me.
"I.... I am a vampire!!"
Shock..... electric shock.....
It all links, he can't go out in the sun because it's hot, and it explains JEAN!! I moved back and he moved forward.
"For years I've been trying to keep it but Jean just had to come when I was hungry for blood!! I can't go out like that because of the sun and..... I can't have friends. My life is a complete wreck!!" He said. Oh geez..........
"But then you can along and...... You just won't go, in my memory and all..... And you had to know my secret!!" He added. I was pinned to the wall.
"Humans have been trying to hurt us and Kill us, that's why my life is a secret. The others could keep it. But I can't!! Whoever knows my secret..... DIES."
I wanted to yell or scream but it wouldn't come out until......
"You're so stupid!!" I heard a laugh. I opened my eyes as I saw Jace laugh.
"Vampire, really?" He asked me.
"Are you kidding?" I asked him. And he smirked.
"Jean committed suicide in my study because I didn't like her back and she wanted me to suffer. But please. American police are smart!!" He said and sat on the couch eating pizza.
"For a moment I thought you were really a vampire!" I said and Jace shook his head. I sat on the couch laughing at my stupidness until I felt tingles. I know what that means, I was close to Jace on the couch. He was eating minding his business.
"You know..... I didn't want to say this but, you're easy to trick!!" He said.
"Excuse me. The story explains all your atrocities!!" I said.
"Like what?" He asked me.
"Like Jean that I just learnt the truth off." I told him.
"You also believed the rumors?" He asked me.
"I guess!!" I said.
"Well, people don't really know anything, they just assume and start spreading rumors!!" He told me and I nodded.
"Yeah. You know this girl Tiffany? She's a leader when it comes to twisting other students minds that populars are bad. I mean, she doesn't know anything about us!" I told him.
"Hmm. The girl who dated your boyfriend in freshman's year. Uhhmmm, the girl with no ass and boobs?" He asked.
"Jace!!" I said.
"It's true!!" He said and turn to me.
"Why do you think Kelvin left her for you?" He asked. I looked at him.
"Kelvin doesn't care about that. Kelvin's a gentleman and what you just did. Assumption." I told him.
"That could lead rumors you know!!" I added.
"It's not an assumption!! I was in the lockers trying to get James soccer boots when I heard that two talking in the shower!!" He said.
"James boots? What do you wanna do with James' boots?" I asked him.
"Err.... Are you gonna listen or what?" He asked. I roll my eyes.
"He mentioned ' your boobs are small.' " Jace said mimicking Kelvin. He did well at that. But really?
"But.... What were you doing with James boots?" I asked him. The bell rang. Urgh!!!
"I have to go. And I think you do too. I'll send you the picture of the potrait later!!" He said putting on his glasses and hoodie.
"Oh, and Elizabeth, be careful!!" He sad and left. I roll my eyes. I'm actually feeling mad that Kelvin didn't mention that part when I asked him what happened to him and Tiffany in Summer when he confessed to me. I sigh and walked out.
School over, YaY!!! I went out to see Kelvin talking to Tiffany!! I was boiling, but geez cool off. I just went there and Tiffany gave me a warm smile. Pretender!!
"Hi Elizabeth!!" She said and I nod. I turned to Kelvin.
"Hi!!" I said
"Hey...., How was your day?" He asked me.
"Not so bad. I have practice so....... I'll see you!!" I said. I kissed him and walked away. I smiled and went to the lockers to see Dorothy and Raini.
"Hey gang!!" I said.
"Don't 'hey gang' me, Liz, you promised you will tell me all about hot hot!!" Raini said.
"Who is that?" Dorothy asked and Raini gave her a picture.
"I'm gonna print this paper out and make sure I find him." She said. Oh No!!
"But, he likes being in the shadows you know!!" I told her.
"Tonight, there is another ball. And I'm sure he is gonna come!!" Raini told me and I sigh.
"Can I see the picture?" I asked her. She gave me her phone and I collected the picture and deleted the picture on hers. I tried to check her gallery if she has another picture but no. Boy he looks hot hot in tux!! Snap out of it!!! But seriously, he's hot!!
Jace is hot, hot hot hot!!
-----------------
"Three laps!!" Coach said and I did. I sighed as he handed me a handkerchief.
"Good!! You rarely come to practice these days. There's a tournament next month. We have to brace ourselves to be prepared!! Alright?" He said. And I nod.
"Good break!!"
-----------------
"Oops, sorry i'm home, the bitch made me watch documentary and read for five minutes now!!"
"Oh, okay!!" I said.
"Alright, take care. Love ya!!" She said and I nod.
"Hmm!!"
I hang up and suddenly I hit call on a number!! Jace's!! Why am I calling him? It's not like....
"Elizabeth...." A sexy husky British accent came ringing in my ears. I smiled and cleared my throat.
"Sorry, it's just, I need a ride!!" I said.
"I'll be there in a sec!!"
"Oh thanks. I ...." He hung up on me!! Jerk!! Hot jerk!!
--------------
"Weeeeeee!!!!" I yelled and I saw a bump ahead. I blushed as I put my hands round his waist and rest my head on his back. The bike survived the bump and I didn't want to leave anymore.
"Are you coming to the ball?" I asked him.
"Yeah!!" He yelled so I could hear.
"Don't!! Raini wants to...."
"I have no choice!!" He snapped. I sighed.
"Fine!! Whatever!!" I told him. We got to the Orchard's.
"Oh so you live here now?" He asked me.
"No..... I mean yeah!! Just crashing for a while!!" I said. He nodded.
"Say hello to Leo and Lily for me!!" He said and wore his helmet. How does he know them? Well, who doesn't know the Orchard's?
"Oh..... Uhmm, okay. Thanks!!" I told him.
"Anytime!!" He said. Then he nod and drove off!! I smiled as I went in. I didn't see anybody but I knew someone will be home.
"Jayden!!" I said and the door opened.
"Liza!!" He yelled and hugged me.
"I was just about to leave for basketball practice!!" He told me. Although, James hates B ball, he lets Jayden play but not to get in the same team as Levi's. Talking about Levi's case. I haven't heard of Simon.
"Oh okay!! I'll just take a nap or something." I told him.
"I'm sorry. I wish I could stay but I can't!!" He said.
"No prob bro. Go have fun!! Bye me muffins!!" I said.
"Sure will." He said and lefy. I entered James room and slept.
"Wake up honey!!" I heard. I smiled as I rolled over and opened my right eye. Seeing James and........ I sat up!!! Father!!! I sighed.
"Father....."
"Elizabeth!!" He said. James left and I turned to the other side of the bed.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"To bring my baby home!!" He said, I scoffed.
"Baby.....really? When did I become your baby?" I asked him and he pushed his tyres forward and came to me.
"When your mother was in labour, I was going on a trip to China!! But the doctor called me and told me your Mother was in pain. I had to run. I got involved in an accident. And that is why I am here..... In a wheelchair!! Your Mother died and I was in sorrow. But you survived which made me happy a bit. Then when you entered the house. Betty became sick, so did Eliza!! I was scared. And more to it......." He handed me a picture..... Of me!!
"It's my picture!!" I told him.
"No it's not!!" He said. What? He sighed and held my hands. Is this really happening? Is this a dream, it is too good to be true. My Dad is holding my hands.
"That is you mother." He said.
Shock shock shock
"Oh my gosh..... She really looks like me. I can't....."
"I know this dosen't justify my actions but baby, I never liked looking at you because you make me remember your mother. And I want to move on, but anytime I see you. You make it seem like it's my Elizabeth!!" He told me. I sighed.
"Dad!!!"
"I know, you're mad!! I'm sorry!! Today I just sat in study and thought, why punish the innocent child? You didn't kill my wife, and your Mom gave me one thing I'll always Love. And that is you!!" He said. I smiled as my eyes became watery.
"I didn't name you Elizabeth because I wanted unity between your sister's, which I desperately need. But actually named you Elizabeth because you are my Elizabeth!! I had lost my Elizabeth, but I won't ever and ever loose my other Elizabeth!!" He said.
"Oh Dad!!"
"Your heart is pure gold!! And beautiful!!" He said. And wiped the tears coming out of my eyes.
"Please come home!! I promise I would make everything alright!!" He said. I nodded.
"I love you Elizabeth!! With all my heart!!" He said.
How I wanted to hear those words for SEVENTEEN years!
"I'm sorry. I thought you will all be happy if I'm not in the picture!!" I said.
"I'll be lost without my Elizabeth!!" He said and I stood up and sat on his lap and hugged him crying.
"Don't cry baby. Don't cry!!" He said and I sniffed.
----------------
So I am back home, getting ready for the ball. I wore a purple strapless floral gown and black heels. Perfect!!! I packed my hair ponytail and carried my black purse. I got a text from Kelvin.
Babe, I'm gonna pick you up in 5. You ready?
- Kel💜.
I smiled and texted back.
Sure. See ya💗
- Lizzy.
I put on mascara and a touch of powder, an eye liner and a lip gloss. My lips are somehow red and pink so, the lip gloss brings it out. I went down and I met Eliza and Betty both in a black skirt that has a long slit in the front and red crop top and red heels. Wow!! Amazing!! I went down and they looked at me.
"Family meeting!!" I heard my daddy say. I smiled as I sat on the couch. I'm family!! Betty and Eliza sat on the three sitter.
"So I want you girls, to answer one good question!!" He said. I cross my leg.
"Why are you not friends? I was at the Cunninghams today and boy, Shae and Cassie.... They were like twins though Shae is five years older. And take a look at my kids. All behaving stubborn to their little sister.... Is that how a good matured and responsible lady behaves?" He asked and pause. Is sighed.
"Dad..... We are out!!" Eliza said standing up.
"Yeah, I didn't know why you brought her back!!" Betty said and Father sighed.
"If you take an inch away from there. You're not my daughter's anymore." He said. They stood and sat down back!!
"Eliza, why don't you love Elizabeth?" He asked. She stood quiet.
"Betty?"
"I'm sick of looking at her!! She resembles Mom so much and I love her with all my heart, but she took her away from me!!" Betty burst out
"She is so pretty and talented and she thinks she has a right to everything whereas she stole something that I love. And that is my Mom!!" Betty said.
"I didn't even know anything!!" I said.
"Please if you were not born. Tell me, won't she be alive?" She asked me.
"Then you should be mad at me too. I impregnated her!!" Dad said. Betty sighed.
"Father....."
"No, you're acting like a child!! She didn't cause your Mother's death. She was born and your Mom even held her before she died!!" Father said. There was a ding ding.
"Elizabeth..... Mr. Myers!!" Valencia said.
"Tell him to wait." I said an she nodded and left.
"Betty, I'm sorry okay? I never meant for Mom to die!! I never did I'm sorry I let you loose someone you really love!! But we can't be like this forever!! You've got to forgive me please!!" I said.
"I need to go!!" She said, her eyes watery.
"Betty!!" Father yelled but she just continued walking and was out of sight.
"Nice try Dad but this lips ain't telling you anything." Eliza said and left. Father looked at me and I sighed. Geez.
"He must be waiting" He said. I shook my head and just went up to my room sadly!!
