I loathe this car! It wasn't so bad at first, but now I hate it. I have never even thought it was possible to have my butt hurt so badly. The thing is Cecilia said that I should be excited, but I have a hard time with that. I don't want to end up hurt. I have had three possibilities of adoption in the past sixteen years that I'm done letting myself hope for the best.

I watched as we drove through the trees, she slowed down to turn on to a dirt road. The house that came into view, I gasped.

They were standing at the front door waiting, there was no way they were old enough.

"Keep in mind Lilly, they have five other teenagers."

"Five?"

She nodded as she came to a stop. My stomach plummeted; I hoped that they weren't there.

I slowly made my way out of the car to the steps of the house. The woman smiled.

"May I give you a hug?" She asked. I didn't know what to do so I nodded. She hugged me like a mother would hug a child who fell down at the playground and scrapped a knee.

I felt like I belonged there.

"My name is Esme,"

"Hello, Lilly. I'm Carlisle."

"Hi," I choked out.

"What wrong dear?" Esme asked.

"It seems too real to be true. Like I'm going to wake up and it will all be gone."

"Pinch yourself, love. Cause its real and I'm not going anywhere." She said pulling me back into her arms.

Cecilia excused herself to go over final details with Carlisle in paperwork. Esme gave me a tour of the house. The last place she took me was my room. Large and spacious. The walls were whit with a light pink paisley design, the bed was round and covered in netting the bed spread was white and pink with a tough of brown. The floor was hard wood with a large plush rug. I had so many pillows I wouldn't know what to do with them. In one corner was a desk, laptop, printer and a pink oversized office chair.

She opened a door that led into my own bathroom and another that was a fully stocked walk in closet.

"Does this mean I'm staying?" I asked. Esme smiled.

"If you want to."

I threw my arms around her as the tears started.

A few hours after Cecilia left Carlisle decided now was the time to get me enrolled in high school. Esme held my had and Carlisle held hers as we entered the high school, it was during a class break so people stared. I had changed into a simple pair of dark washed jeans, some brand that I had never heard of, and couldn't pronounce and a dark purple tee shirt. It set off my brown eyes. A small pixy like girl linked arms with me and smiled as we entered the office.

"Lilly this is Alice Cullen one of your sisters."

"Alice, this is Lilly."

She smiled and threw her arms around me. For a small little thing she sure was strong.

"Is there a possibility of her getting into some of my classes?" She asked.

"I'm sure there is, and if you don't hurry you'll be late to math." Esme said.

There it was at the top of the paper. Lillianna Isabella Cullen. They tried to talk me into giving it a few more days, but this was school in another small town and it was only two more classes left in the day.

"Are you sure?" Esme asked holding my book bag.

"Yeah, what harm can it be?"

"Make sure you find Alice at the end of the day if your last class isn't with her." She said.

"okay."

I walked in the halls were nearly deserted as I looked at the map and my class schedual. I walked into the class.

"My I help you?" the teacher asked. The whol class turned. I was glad to see Alice sitting there, next to her was a mad looking boy. She smiled.

"I just transferred." I said.

"Name?" he asked.

"Lillianna Cullen," the class went from an awkward silence to a loud roar as students started to talk.

"Another Cullen, how wonder full. How about you sit by Miss Swan. Miss Swan will you please raise your hand so that Lillianna knows who you are?"

I sat down next to her.

"Hi," I said forcing a smile.

"Hello."

The class went back to its discussion on what ever math problem was on the board and I looked up to see it wrong, so I raised my hand.

"Yes Miss Cullen?" he said.

"You carried the two when you didn't need to. The answers wrong."

"let's check." Was all he could say.

Like I was unsure what I was talking about? I knew for sure that I was going to bring uop a higher math class with Esme later on. This was like addition and subtraction to me.

"Your correct, thank you."

The bell rang. Alice materialized out of nowhere and Bella disappeared with the angry looking boy.

"That's Edward, our brother. Don't mind him its been a bad day."

We walked down the hall to where a blond was standing with what looked like the star football player of the high school.

"Rose, Emmett. This is Lilly, she's our new sister." The blonds face went from a happy smile to utter disgust and the football player smiled. She turned and walked away. I couldn't help but feel snubbed by some chick who thought she was better than everyone else. She didn't even give me the chance.

"Does she have gym with us?" Emmett asked.

Alice looked at my schedule and nodded. At least I wasn't going to have to search for them after school.

I sat out watching the rest of them; all of the Cullen's, attempt to look normal. I wasn't sure what it was about them, if they were good then why hide it? The volley ball was hit in my direction and I raised an arm spiking it back, I didn't feel like getting hit by a ball.
