This is my second fan fiction!!

The idea of this story hit me when I was waiting for the flight at the airport...

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this:D

I do not own Twilight. Stephenie Meyer does.

Chapter 1: Alice's birthday Dinner - Part 1

Lizzy's POV

I'm 10 years old girl Elizabeth Swan, but I'd like to be called Lizzy. My mom is Bella (short form of Isabella) Swan, and I don't know who my father is. I asked mom so many times, but sad expression crossed every time I asked, and I knew she didn't want to talk about it. So I gave up.

My mom is best friends with Alice & Jasper (Alice's husband) and Rosalie & Emmet (Rosalie's husband) since she was in a collage. I love them all. They really take good care of me. Alice always picks me up after ballet lessons every Friday and stayed at our apartment whenever mom had to work overtime. Mom is an editor working at the publishing company, and they have meeting on Fridays. Anyway, when Alice cannot pick me up, Jasper, Emmet or Rosalie always does.

Anyway, I love reading, and my favorite books are classic ones such as Pride & Prejudice, and Wuthering Heights. However, there are two things I don't like.

First, it is males. I'm scared of them-except Jasper and Emmet. A year ago, mom dated a guy named Jacob. He seemed nice at first, but after 2 weeks, he started to beat me whenever we were alone. He said that mom and he had no time together because of me. I was always covered in bruises. but I tried to hide. I just couldn't tell her. I didn't know how to tell. However, when I was sick and mom helped me to change the clothes, she discovered.

"Lizzy, what happened to you?"

I opened my mouth, but no word came out, and I started to cry.

"Oh, sweetheart... " She pulled me into a hug. "Please tell me what happened to you..."

"J-Jacob..."

Then I started to tell her. How he started to beat me, and why.

"Oh honey..." She was sobbing. "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry that I didn't notice earlier... I'm sorry..."

"Please don't tell... him... that I told you..."

"I won't."

That night, she broke up with him, and we never saw him again.

Second thing I don't like is darkness. It is related to the first problem. a year and a half before Jacob, mom was having a relationship with Taylor. Just unlike Jacob, he was not nice from the beginning. One day, mom had to work late, and since Alice&Jasper and Rosalie&Emmet was on the vacation, she had to ask Taylor to babysit me. When he came to our apartment, he started to drink beer which he brought in. He got drunk eventually, and started to beat me. I went to my room to get away from him. But before I could lock my door, he was in my room where no lights were on, and started to beat me hardly. When I smelled the blood, which was coming from my head, I lost my consciousness, and I was in the hospital when I woke up. So I cannot sleep or be in the darkness, because Taylor starts to hunt me.

Anyway, today is Alice's birthday, and we are having a dinner with Alice, Jasper, Emmet, and Rosalie at Alice&Jasper's apartment. And Alice said that Edward, who is Alice's adopted older brother and Jasper, Emmet and Rosalie's best friend would be coming. He is a new layer who moved in to this town just a few days ago.

"Lizzy, you have to change into the clothes Alice had chosen!" Mom was suddenly at my door, already dressed in a dark blue blouse, with a beige skirt.

"Mom, you look great!!" I ran toward her and hugged.

"Thank you, honey. But now, it's your turn to look great."

Mom helped me to change into a pair of jeans, and a floral print blouse. Then she tied my brown hair into a pony tail. I went to the bathroom to check but I found out that everything was much the same. Pale skin, brown eyes, brown hairs... I only had same eyes and hair from my mom, and the other feature all belonged to unknown man.

"Lizzy, we have to go."

So I went to the doorway, and we made way to the car.

Alice and Jasper are living in a flat, 5 minutes from our place, and 10 minutes from Emmet&Rosalie's place. It's really good to have someone I know so close. We often eat dinner together at each others place, and when mom has to work late or has some important appointment that child cannot go, they always take care of me.

When we arrived, everybody except Edward was there.

"Hi, Bella! Hi, Lizzy!" Everyone greeted us, and Emmet pulled me into a big hug. He always do that, and I love that.

Soon after he released me, the door bell rang, and a tall guy with reddish blond and green eyes came in.

"Edward!! It's so good to see you!!" Alice rushed to Edward, and they hugged each other tightly. Then, Rosalie, Emmet and Jasper did the same thing.

"Edward, I want you to meet my best friend Bella Swan, and her daughter Lizzy." When everybody calmed down, Alice announced .

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Edward said, probably to my mom. I could see her blushing .

Then, he kneeled in front of me to meet my gaze. When our eyes met, he smiled warmly.

"I'm Edward. Nice to meet you, Lizzy."

Suddenly, I was scared. Even though his smile was gentle, and he is Alice's brother, he was male. So I tried to hide myself behind Jasper, who was standing right beside me.

Jasper sensed my fear, and immediately scooped me up into his arms. He stroked my back softly while I cried.

"It's okay, Lizzy, it's okay... Nobody is going to hurt you..." He whispered to my ear over and over again, until I calmed down.

"Lizzy, I'm going to help Alice and Rosalie at the kitchen, so can you be with boys for a while?" I heard my mom say while I relaxed in Jasper's arms. I just nodded in agreement. Mom kissed my cheek and left.

"So, what are we going to do with you, little-Lizzy?" Jasper said after a minute, tickling me.

I started to laugh.

"Jasper, stop!!" I gasped for the air.

When he finally stopped, and I calmed down, I told him what I wanted to do.

"Can I play the piano?" We have no money to buy a piano, and since Alice played, I always practiced here.

"Of course, little-miss-Bennet!" I chuckled. 'little-miss-Bennet' is my favorite nickname, from my favorite book, Pride & Prejudice.

When Jasper placed me on the chair in front of the piano in the living room, I saw Emmet and Edward sit down on the couch. I started to play.

"Wow! Great Lizzy!!" Jasper said when I finished.

"Was it a new one?" Emmet asked from the couch.

"Yes. Mrs. Blythe wrote for me." I told him shyly. Mrs. Blythe is my piano teacher, and she writes a songs only for her favorite students.

"Mrs. Blythe? How is she doing?" I didn't hear Edward coming near the piano. And I was confused. Why did he asked?

"She was my teacher, too. " He said smiling warmly, and never moving toward me.

"She's always great." I said after the shock disappeared. Mrs. Blythe is 67 years old, but she always acted like she was 30.

"That's might be true." Then he laughed quietly.

"Liz, how's your ballet lesson going?" Emmet asked after a moment.

I just shrugged. I'm not very good at it, but neither very bad at it.

"I'm really glad that you are not that clumsy like your mom. I can't imagine how would it be if two clumsy person lived in a same place." All of us except Edward laughed at that.

"What do you mean by 'clumsy person'?"

"Just wait and see. There's no day when Bella won't trip at something." Just when Emmet said this, a huge noise came from the kitchen, then girls screams.

"Bella!!"

"Told you so." We all laughed.

How was it? Please tell me if you liked or not:)

I already wrote Part 2, so I will update tomorrow.

People who are reading my other story, "The Lost Memory" would probably think that I stopped writing the story, but that's not true. It's just this story came into my mind, and I really wanted to share my story. So, don't worry or be disappointed:D I will continue "The Lost Memory".

See you soon,

Sabrina
