New York

Chapter 1

(Leila's POV)

"Hunny, hurry up you're gonna be late and we need to talk to you before you leave" My mom; Melanie Green called. She's a cool Mom, only 31. She was 16 when she had me yet she still managed to become one of the most successful fashion designers in the USA. I looked in the mirror still applying my make-up. I looked just like her. Long, curly dark brown hair and emerald green eyes. Pixie eyes as my dad calls them. Luckily I also inherited my mom's figure. I'm quite slim with a flat stomach but quite good breasts.

"Lee hurry up, Justin is waiting for you down stairs and we still have to talk to you" My dad; Michael Green shouted up. He's a cool dad, only 32. He was only 17 when my mom had me. He works for the government and all my friends love him. Apparently he is "ultra fit" and "soooo sexy". Obviously I have to disagree as he is my dad but even my mom says that he's lucky he's married otherwise girls would be all over him. I hurriedly pulled on my jeans and high top Chuck Taylors. My Chuck Taylors are my babies. I have fifteen different pairs of them. Today I was wearing my original white ones. I grabbed one of my new favourite Hollister jumpers then ran down the stairs grabbing my bag from the floor and my cell off the table.

"Heyyy" I squealed high fiving my dad and hugging my mom.

"Mornin' hun" Dad poured me out some orange juice. I took it and chugged it down.

"So what was it you guys wanted to talk about?" I asked after finishing the orange. Mom looked at Dad who looked in turn at her. It was as if they were silently arguing about who was going to tell me.

"Spit it out guys" I looked at them suspiciously. I could tell what was coming. They had a silent argument again but it looked like Dad lost, as he turned to me and sighed.

"Lee, we have to move again" he told me waiting for my reaction. I sighed. It didn't really shock me that much. I'd seen all the signs; Mom packing up all our "valuables", Dad working late, selling the car and Mom wanting all my school stuff kept at home.

"But why are we moving now? We've been in New York so long" I whined.

"That's the point Hunny. We've been here far too long. Okay so it is safer in New York, closer to Mick's work but you know that with the position we are in we have to move sooner rather than later" Mom came round and hugged me. I shrugged her off. She looked hurt and Dad went round to comfort her.

"Lee, don't take it out on your Mom. It's not her fault so don't be pissed at her" Dad frowned at me. Okay so I admit I was pissed but not at them. It was just with my dad's job we had to move so much. He's a secret agent for the FBI so staying in the same place for too long was risky. It's just so annoying having to move all the time and now that I was a teenager I needed friends to support me. I'd made loads of friends in New York seeing as we moved here 3 years ago. I was originally born in New York as well because that's where my parents lived at the time. My dad was originally from London in Britain but got sent here on a mission for the British FBI and that's when he met my mom. But that's another story. It's not that I didn't like my dad's job. I thought it was so cool and the wages were awesome not to mention that our house was often full of hot men who worked for him. It was just that for once in my life I had finally managed to settle in properly and not be known as "the new girl". And now I was expected to just up root again and move somewhere else to become "the new girl". Again. I turned to see my parents still looking at me expectantly.

"You want me to move? Again? Go home" Okay so I was being unreasonable but still. And with that I turned round and flung open the front door of our penthouse. I stomped out and almost knocked over someone on the landing.

"Sorry" I mumbled without looking up and turned to go but felt a hand on my arm.

"Lee?" I heard a voice and looked up to see Justin, my best friend, looking at me in concern. He saw the tears in my eyes then pulled me into a hug, "What's up babe?"

"We have to move again" my voice was muffled against his jacket. I felt his body tense when I spoke.

"Where to?" he whispered and I suddenly realised I didn't even know. Oh fuck it I don't even care.

"I d-don't even know" I mumbled again with a laugh at how stupid I sounded, "but I'm not going back in there to ask. I'll find out later", Justin laughed then took my hand and led me down the stairs knowing that I hated the lift. He started to poke me in an attempt to make me laugh. I guess it kind of worked as when we reached the bottom I was laughing and smiling. We walked along the street heading towards LaGuardia High School. We walked past a Starbucks and Justin ran in. He came out with two bagels and a latte for me.

"Awww Juss, you don't have to do this for me. Here let me pay you back" I fumbled around for my purse but he closed his hands round mine.

"No Lee. Take it honestly. If you are moving at least you know you'll never meet a guy as kind as me" he said cheekily poking his tongue out. I laughed but closed my bag.

"Well if you're sure" I took a bite from the bagel and a swig from the coffee then smiled happily at Justin. It probably looks like we're dating. But we're not. Justin is just my best friend. Our moms were close as can be so it was just natural that we would be best friends. Whenever we had to move before he would always talk to me on the phone when my mom called his. When we moved back to New York he was thrilled and I begged mom to send me to the same school as him. He goes to an all arts school so of course my mom let me go. She knows that I will probably turn out to be as successful as her if not more but she didn't want to send me to one of those posh private schools as I would become "affected". I thought she was talking Bull to be honest but I didn't care where I went as long as I was with Justin. Oh and also the most important factor that proves that we aren't dating is that Justin happens to be gay. This is one reason why I absolutely love him to bits. He is THE best shopping partner ever and what with our parents being so rich we practically wipe out the stores when we go shopping. Back to reality, we were just walking in to school when I heard about five people scream my name and turned to see my best girlfriends waiting by the wall outside. I hugged Justin and told him I'd see him later before walking casually towards the group of girls.

"Leeeeeeeee!" squealed Marie excitedly.

"Marieeee" I mimicked laughing, "Its Monday why are you so excited?"

"Because it's my birthday in exactly three days and twenty four hours" she rolled her eyes at me.

"Well doesn't that make it four days than?" pointed out Phoebe, "Duhh..." Marie thought about it then looked up.

"Oh yeah it does" she said dopily. We all laughed at her. She sounded like such a bimbo but she wasn't even blonde (no offence to blondes).

"Marie you dope" Lilly smacked her arm playfully which resulted in them having a slappy fight in the street. I side stepped away towards Marnie who was texting someone on her cell.

"Is that Mike?" I teased her playfully. She looked up and blushed.

"Yeah. I was on the phone to him for four hours last night. Mom is gonna kill me when the bill comes through. I only went over by ten dollars last time and she went nuts" Marnie sighed and I laughed again. Considering I had left home in a strop I was doing way too much laughing this morning. Maybe Justin had slipped something in to that bagel I thought jokily.

"So I saw you walk in with Justin, hand in hand you were. Not trying to convert him are we?" I heard a voice rag me and turned to see Molly walking back from the bathroom, smiling. I laughed, again, and shook my head, smiling at my best girlfriend. Molly was such a stunner. She had long honey blonde hair which was curly and these big blue eyes which she framed with long dark lashes. She was already modelling, for my mom's company actually and she was a brilliant actress.

"I don't think even my beauty would be enough to convert him" I joked batting my eyes at her. She laughed then looked at me closer.

"What's up Lee? You seem a bit down" Damn Molly, she was so observant, she never missed a trick.

"Nothing" I lied sweetly.

"You can't fool ME Leila Green. Now spill. You look like you've been crying" Oh man I knew I'd forgotten something this morning; water proof mascara. Molly pulled me over to one side, "You don't have to tell all of them but you can trust me Lee. Can't you?" I might as well tell her I thought to myself.

"We have to move, again" I mumbled and she pulled me into a hug.

"Oh Lee, where are you moving to?"She asked sadly.

"I don't even know. I was so cross at my mom this morning that I just stormed out without asking. I shouldn't be cross really but I can't help it. I mean okay so my dad's job is awesome but I don't wanna move again when my life is starting to get so good. It feels like-like I've been playing the sim's, made some great house with some great family and then the computer crashes before I save it. I'm gonna have to start all over again" I whined. Molly snorted and I turned to glare at her.

"What?" I demanded angrily. My life was about to crash and she was laughing. Some best friend. I stalked off towards our home room.

"Aww Lee! Wait up!" She grabbed my hand, "I wasn't laughing at you silly. It's just you're comparing your life to the Sims babe. That is quite jokes and just a tad sad" she snickered again. I smiled okay so I guess it was quite funny. I looked and saw Molly crying with laughter and then I couldn't stop myself. Well one thing's for sure; I can totally rely on my friends to pull me up when I'm down.

I slammed the door shut so that everyone knew I was home.

"I'm home" in case they were suddenly deaf. I stomped up the stairs and into my room.

"What the hell?" I stepped back in surprise. All of my stuff had disappeared and all that was left in my room was the bed frame.

"MOOOOM?" I screamed. I heard footsteps running up the stairs, my door burst open and my mother was standing looking around as if there were some kind of danger.

"Lee? What's wrong?" she asked worriedly. I looked at her as if she were mad.

"Do you see my room?" I asked sarcastically gesturing to the empty space that was once my room.

"What have we missed something?" did she seriously not understand what I was talking about.

"Mom this morning my room had furniture and other items, my personal items, where are those items. Why is my room empty? Where am I going to sleep?" I asked her in confusion. She looked at me then seemed to realise something. Then her mouth dropped open.

"Oh shit! Lee. I'm soo sorry we forgot to tell you this morning. We're leaving tonight".

I stared at her wordlessly, screamed then ran out of the room, out of the apartment, down the stairs and began knocking on Justin's door. The door opened and there he was. I screamed again and sat down on the floor.

"Lee? Lee what's wrong?" he asked worriedly. I stood up then held his shoulders staring right into his face.

"They want me to leave tonight Justin. Tonight. I haven't even said goodbye to everyone yet" I moaned sadly. He pulled me closer into a hug.

"Lee they just care about you so much. You have to go. Your Dad obviously has a good reason behind this. Why don't you go upstairs and get ready I'll be here if you need me and come out when you leave. I'll miss you so much but I'm only a phone call away" he assured me kissing me on the head. I looked up at him and smiled a watery smile.

"Thanks Justin, love ya" I turned and walked back up the stairs. Mom was waiting and she pulled me into a hug.

"I'm sorry hun, I know you hate leaving and this time it'll be especially tough. You and Justin are so close not to mention Molly and all your other friends. But don't worry this new town looks beautiful" she hugged me tighter probably trying to make me feel better.

"Where is it?" I asked curiously.

"Forks, it's in Washington" she said it quickly. I pulled back and stared.

"Washington? But that's so far away"

"I know Hunny but you're dads got some business over there. I promise you can come back to New York whenever you want for a visit" she added the last part when she saw me about to protest, "you're just gonna have to lump it for now Lee. You're only fifteen so still under our guidance. Go and get yourself ready and meet me downstairs in ten minutes"

"Where's Dad?" I mumbled feeling the tears coming again.

"He's gone over already. He left soon after you this morning"

"Oh" and with that I turned round shut the door and went into my bathroom to fix my hair and makeup. I was hugely limited seeing as I only had my school accessories kit, the rest was packed in a lorry on the way to some god-awful sounding town in what is probably the most boring place on earth- Washington.

Ten minutes later and I was trudging as slow as possible down the stairs. We were keeping the penthouse so that I could come back whenever I wanted so at least I didn't have to say goodbye to that. It was probably the nicest penthouse ever with a view over New York and at night I would stand on the balcony looking over Manhattan all lit up. It was so beautiful. I got to the bottom of the stairs and opened the door sadly. Suddenly I was surrounded by people crying and hugging me. All my friends from school where there plus the ones from drama and dance and everywhere else. I screamed and started crying hugging them all and tapping my number into their cells in case they'd lost it overnight.

"How did you guys know? How did you get here so fast?" I squealed. They all turned to look at Justin who was standing at the side smiling at me.

"Justin called us and told us you were leaving today, like right now, he sent round cars to pick us up so we could give you a proper send off" Molly informed me tears running down her cheeks. I almost burst into tears. Justin was such a good friend. I turned round and hurtled towards him giving him the biggest hug of my life.

"Awww Justin, thank you soooo much" I whispered in his ear.

"Anytime babe" he whispered back hugging me tighter, "and you'll be fine in Washington. If not I'll come and sort em out" he laughed. I smiled.

"I guess I have to go now" I sighed sadly as he let go of me, "Bye everyone" I cried as I climbed into the limo waiting for me. I rolled open the roof and leaned out.

"Bye Lee"

"See you soon"

"Make sure you come back and visit"

"Don't forget us"

"Bye Leila Green" Molly was smiling at me waving like mad. I laughed then took one final look as the car turned the corner and I went back into the car. Mom was smiling at me.

"Lee if you're anything like this in Forks then I'm sure you'll be just fine. I never knew you were so popular Hunny" she assured me then threw me a can of coke. I drank it then felt tired so fell back on the seat with a pillow and blanket. I shut my eyes thinking of all my friends, especially Justin. My cell beeped and I looked down. I had a message.

Dw Lee, you'll be fine ly loads J xx

I smiled, shut my phone and let myself drift into the unconsciousness of sleep.

Washington- Forks

(Jaspers POV)

It was one of those rare sunny days in Forks and it seemed like the world and its mother were out in the park. Too be honest it wasn't that hot, I mean definitely not shorts and vest hot but it was hot enough that wearing a gang jacket was like being in a sauna. Of course we couldn't take them off. Aston would never let us do that. Especially in public. He had this whole theory that people kept away if we wore the jacket. I thought that anyone with common sense would stay away anyway. I mean walking up to a group of fifteen, tough-looking teenage boys it's just asking for trouble really. But as usual whatever Aston says goes so we were all just persevering. I don't even know why we were sitting here. Surely the diner would have been a better place to meet. Or that clearing we met at a few weeks ago; somewhere a little more private. Aston was just staring at something in the distance. I glanced over and saw a couple of senior girls sitting on a bench near the playground. So that was why we were here; Girls. I don't date girls. Not that I'm gay or anything, I just don't use them the way Aston does. I might as well leave now if this is all we're going to do, I thought. As I got up Matt shot me a warning look. Like I cared, Aston was too busy with his, probably dirty, thoughts. I sauntered off towards the sidewalk then headed home. Matt text me saying Aston didn't seem to care and that I had the day off so I wasn't worried about him ambushing me in the middle of the night. I turned the corner onto the street and saw Danny getting out his car. He glanced up and saw me coming. Shit I couldn't even go back to the park now 'cos he'd know that I was running from him. I walked casually to the house. For once Danny didn't look drunk. I wondered why he was home so early. He followed after me as I went inside grabbing a Pepsi from the fridge. I couldn't hear a sound from Rose's room so she must have been out with Emmet.

"You're home early" I commented leaning against the sideboard. I knew that if I pushed him too much he'd flip so decided to keep the conversation light.

"Well Nina's coming down isn't she" he muttered opting for a Pepsi himself rather than the usual bottle of beer.

"Oh please no" I groaned. My social worker, Nina insisted on coming down every couple of months. She had been assigned to me a few weeks after Mom died. Apparently my behaviour had become unacceptable and I needed a social worker in case I had any problems.

"I tried to persuade her not to come but she was insistent" This was the only thing that we actually agreed on. Nina was a nuisance; an interfering busy body. On the bright side at least I would escape from Danny's drunkenness for a couple of hours whilst she was here.

"When's she coming?" I needed to sort out my room where she would no-doubt take a nosy around in it. I think there was still blood on my sheets from the last time we had a gang fight or I had a run in with Danny.

"Should be here any minute. Why else would I be home this early dumbass" Isn't he just charming. I ran upstairs and stripped my bed replacing it with some ancient sheets I found deep in the back of my wardrobe. The doorbell rang downstairs but Danny didn't think to answer it. I stomped down to find him sitting on the couch watching a game.

"Don't rush yourself" I said sarcastically. He glared at me.

"Just 'cos your social worker coming round doesn't mean I can't sock you one after so you best control your mouth boy" he threatened. I rolled my eyes but went to answer the door. Standing on the step was a short woman in a navy suit with a pencil skirt. She was holding a bag and had a clip board.

"Good afternoon Jasper" she was so formal.

"Hey Nina" I opened the door wider and invited her in. Danny just waved from the sofa eyes still on the game, a can of Pepsi in the spot where his beer usually was. Nina followed me into the kitchen and perched herself on one of the bar stools. I stood there staring at the floor waiting for her to say something. I knew she wasn't pleased with me. I could tell by her face. She looked disappointed.

"So Jasper, how are things?" her voice was calm.

"Good" I said it unsurely not understanding how she meant the question.

"Mhmm" she opened up the clipboard peering at some notes, "Well from what I've been reading Jasper, and what I have been told, you don't seem to be making much effort to improve your behaviour", she consulted her notes, "three police cautions in the last month, you've been excluded for two weeks and according to your step-father you get into fights almost every day".

"That's a lie" I said curtly, "I haven't got into a fight in over a week. And that principal has got it in for me".

"And the police cautions?" she raised her eyebrow, "What's your excuse for them Jasper?"

"That's the truth, I'm not making this up" I said exasperatedly.

"Jasper you have to get your act together. Is this really the life you want? The life of a gangster? A criminal?" she shot at me.

"I'm trying okay. It's not easy" I ran my hand through my hair and sat down at the table.

"You're not over her yet are you?" Nina's voice was suddenly soft. I knew who she was talking about. My mom. She died seven years ago, when I was nine and Rose was eleven. She got knocked over by a car; it was a hit and run. You see Danny used to be part of a gang himself. One of the tough city ones, the really serious ones; where they don't take it too kindly when you leave. Danny left and they took revenge; killing my mom in the process. That's when Danny started drinking a lot and picking on me. It's because of that that I'm stuck here with an abusive step dad and had to turn to a gang for protection, the reason why I'm sitting here now getting a lecture from my social worker instead of my mom. Okay so I have Rose but she spends most of her time at Emmet's and I never told her about Danny. He avoids hitting me when she's around though. I think the only reason he didn't hit her was because of Emmet. He knew that if he did hit Rose her giant oaf of a boyfriend would be around here straight away.

I didn't answer Nina's question, just put my head in my hands.

"Jasper I'm sorry. Maybe I'm being a little harsh. Just remember I'm always here if you need to talk, and you've got Danny as well. I'm sure he'd be willing to have a chat. He probably misses your mom just as much. And don't forget your sister. I'm sure she wouldn't mind chatting to you either" yeah right. Somehow I can't see Danny sitting me down for a cosy chat. We can't even have a conversation about the game without it turning into a fight let alone talk about Mom. And as for Rose, well she hardly ever spoke to me anymore. Apart from the fact that we look so identical we could be twins and that we have the same parents, we might as well not be related.

"Thanks Nina" I sniffed. Of course I didn't say anything about Danny. She didn't know about him, what he was really like. The only person who did was Matt and that was only because the number of times I had stayed over his when things got rough at home. Speaking of the devil, Danny came into the kitchen at that point. He stopped when he saw me and a worried look crossed his face. To Nina he probably looked concerned but I knew that he was worried I had split on him. I shook my head and he relaxed.

"Hey Danny, I was just telling Jasper that we are here for him. Y'know if he ever needs a chat" Nina turned and smiled at him.

"Yeah Jasper, I'm always here" Danny looked serious but I could hear the mocking under his words.

"Isn't that nice Jasper" Nina cooed and I put on a fake smile.

"Lovely"

"Well I better get going. Try not to get in to too much trouble Jasper and if you do I'm sure Danny will sort you out" she was joking. But if only she knew.

"Bye Nina, thanks" I saw her out then went back to the kitchen.

Danny was leaning against the counter smirking at me.

"So Jasper do you wanna talk now or later?" he mocked. I glared at him.

"I'd sooner talk to a goats arse but thanks anyway" I turned to go but Danny grabbed my wrist yanking me back, spinning me round to face him.

"Don't get in to too much trouble Jasper, I'm sure Danny will sort you out" he mimicked Nina, then his eyes turned hard, full of hate, "Yeah I'm really gonna sort you out now".

He pinned me up against the wall then I saw his fist flying towards my face. I felt it too. I went numb after that. Just like I always did; in gang fights, when someone mentions Mom and especially when Danny is beating me up. Because if there is one thing I don't want, its Danny feeling satisfied.

I was on the floor in the kitchen now. I think my nose was bleeding but I wasn't sure. My stomach killed from where he'd kicked me and I'd probably have bruises up my arms in the morning.
And all Danny'd had to drink was a Pepsi. He was five times worse when he was drunk.

A.N: Sooo what do you think? Please review tell me what your first thoughts are. ;D
