AN: Hey I'm going to apologize right out front with this. I'm so sorry. I got carried away when writing the chapter and it had to be split into two chapters. It's going to be confusing. But I hope the chapter itself is not confusing.

Liz's POV

When I had gotten home, I watched Emmett tackle Jasper in the backyard. They were wrestling again. I walked into the house to find Edward glaring at me.

"Your late," Edward said.

"I got home when it just started to get dark," I defended.

"Edward leave her alone," Rose called from the living room.

"Thank you, mother," I called back.

"No your not getting out of this so easily," Edward said.

His anger reminded me of Alexander.

Flashback

Alex and I were standing in my door step to go on our date for our two year anniversary since we started dating.

"Be back by midnight," Carlisle told us.

"We agreed on an extra hour because it's your anniversary," Rose said.

"You did this last year," I pointed out, but was smiling.

"And we're sticking too it," Edward told me seriously.

"I know," I said.

Everyone trusted Alex completely, but had to try and be strict.

"I promise to have her home by twelve," Alex said.

Alex had dark brown long hair, green shinning eyes, and was wearing jeans and a white t-shirt. He always looked casual and so handsome. Every girl in school wanted to date him, but he choose me.

"I'm sure you will Alex," Esme said.

After supper, Alex and I sat in his car watching the sun set. I loved the sun set and we watched it every night.

"I love you, Elizabeth Katherine Cullen," Alex praised me.

I giggled, I loved it when he used my full name, "I love you too, Alexander Johnathan Mason."

End Flashback

Tears weld up in my eyes as the hurt filled me up. He had tried to force sex onto me that night. It had been the end of our relationship and almost his life when my family found out.

Edward's anger stopped when he saw the tears fall down my face.

"Hey I'm sorry," he wrapped his arms around my shoulders hugging me. I hugged him back, "I'm just worried about you."
"It's not that," I said, "Alex…" my voice broke.

I had a break down in the past. The memories haunted me and they always brought hurt.

Edward knew he was the reason the memories came. There was so much yelling after Alex tried to force sex onto me. Yelling always brought the memories back.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, holding me tighter.

Thunder clapped outside and the pouring could be heard.

"No," Rose came into the hallway.

Jasper and Emmett came into the house soaking wet. They shook off their wet mess all over us.

I squealed and started laughing, "Stop."

Emmett tackled me to the floor, keeping his body weight down. He was still soaked and it was getting me soaked. He was grinning like a monkey.

I squealed, "get off of me Emmett."

"Not until you say it," he told me.

I laughed, "say what?"

"That I'm the best," Emmett said.

"Never," I screamed.

"Emmett get off her," that was Jasper's voice. "She's soaked."

Emmett did as he was told and helped me up as well.

"Come on sweetie," Rose said. "Let's get you dried off."

"What about me?" Emmett asked.

Rose shot Emmett a glare.

I slept with Jasper that night because I was afraid the memories would come during the night.

First hour English, I sat next to Jasper. This was the only hour I had with one of the Hale kids. Mr. Loser, yes that's his real last name, had the desk's placed for three people per desk. Jasper and I were the only ones without the third person.

Mr. Loser was talking about Julius Caesar when the new kid walked in. Though kid was a major understatement. He was all man. He was layered in muscles and had an easy going tan, deep black spiky hair, and pitch black secretive eyes.

"Ah, Mr. Blaise, welcome," Mr. Loser greeted.

He then turned the new student toward the class, "Everyone this is our new foreign exchange student, Lucian Blaise."

"Where are you from?" Jasper asked.

Everyone's head turned toward us. Jasper only spoke when spoken to, unless he was talking to me.

"Volterra, Italy," Lucian answered.

His voice dripping in his accent.

"Are you staying for the full school year?" Jasper asked.

"Yes," he answered smoothly.

Where was Jasper's curiosity coming from? Then I realized it. I liked him. I had shown romantic interest to him. Something I haven't shown since Alex. Not to mention his protectiveness for me.

"Alright, any more questions?" Mr. Loser asked.

When no one said anything, "Okay Lucian may take a seat next to Elizabeth."

I froze, I hadn't thought about the fact that he would be sitting next to me. That was the only seat open.

He nodded and made his way over to the seat next to me. His presence was so strong it made my heart speed up. I could feel the heat of his body and could breath in his scent easily. I loved it.

"Now you may talk to your group members about our new subject," Mr. Loser told us.

Our group members were the people at our desk. Which meant I had to talk to Lucian.

"What is the subject," Lucian asked in a friendly tone with that wonderful accent.

"Julies Caesar," Jasper said.

"I have discussed this in many of my old schools," Lucian said, "I have gone to many schools in this world."

"Why did you choose the US?" I asked.

"It's the one my mom wanted us to go to. She choose this time," Lucian looked at me now and my breath caught.

His eyes found mine and we stared into them. His eyes were so black and they hid secrets. I could see the pain, though, and the shield he worked to build.

"What is your name?" Lucian asked.

"Elizabeth Katherine Cullen," I answered automatically.

Our gazes locked.

"Well, it's my pleasure to meet you, Elizabeth," Lucian took my hand and kissed it.

My heart raced, "Y… you too."

He dropped my hand and my heart slowed down a bit.

"This is my brother, Jasper Hale," I introduced.

"You have a very beautiful sister, Jasper," Lucian said.

I flushed.

"Yes she is," Jasper said.

"Oh, shut it," I said.

Lucian chuckled and my heart sped up again. It was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard.

I felt Jasper's hand on my arm. He knew how I felt and he was warning me.

Flashback

My family and I were sitting at the beach just before it started to rain. Anna was on my mind because I remembered being on beach with her and my old family a lot, but I couldn't remember why. Edward and Jasper kept giving me looks that clearly said that they were worried, but that changed when Josh, a boy from school who likes me, came up to us.

"Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Cullen," Josh talked to Esme and Carlisle, "I would like to ask permission to date your daughter, Elizabeth."

I hadn't realized Josh liked me this much. But he was such a sweet guy. I would have said yes to him if he asked me on a date because he was so nice, if it wasn't for the over protective males in my family.

"I'm sorry, but Liz is not allowed to date," Carlisle said.

"I know that, sir, but…" Josh was cut off.

"I'd go now," Rose said.

"Unless you want to deal with us," Emmett flexed his muscles.

"No means no," Jasper said.

"See you at school, Josh," I said.

He nodded and walked off, watching my brothers nervously.

"You guys didn't have to scare him," I chastised.

"Yes we did," Emmett said.

"Boys must lean that you are not datable or touchable," Edward growled.

"But he's such a sweet guy," I defended.

"So was Alex," Edward snapped, but he realized his mistake.

I winced at the name.

"For God's sake Edward," Rose said, taking me in her arms.

End of Flashback

"From what I heard, I'm not the only new kid," Lucian said.

I realized Jasper and Lucian had been talking while I was thinking of the past.

"No," Jasper laughed, "Your not. We came here about three years ago and Bella Swan showed up a few weeks ago."

"Swan? Chief Swan?" Lucian asked.

"His daughter," I pointed out.

I thought of Edward.

Flashback

"Edward," I screeched, following him into the house, "You can't treat people like that."

"I will if I want," He told me.

"No, you can't. Those girls were harmless," I defended.

He turned around and advanced on me, "You don't know what they were thinking, so but out."

He was gone.

"No fair," I yelled, "Using Vampire speed on me is illegal!"

End of Flashback

"Liz here, isn't allowed to date," Jasper said.

Huh? What were talking about?

"Such a shame," Lucian shook his head, "I wouldn't mind dating her myself."

What the? They were talking about me as I wasn't here. Wait, he wants to date me? Butterflies lit up in my stomach.

"She can't," Jasper said.

"Jasper," I defended, desperately.

"That's okay, Elizabeth," My heart sang at him using my name, "I shouldn't date anyone."

"Why's that," Jasper asked.

"Personal issues," Lucian said, I saw the walls come up.

I didn't want the walls up. I didn't want him to close up on me. I wanted to remove every inch and have him open up to me.

Jasper gripped my arm a little tighter.

"I'm sorry to hear that," I told him, "I'm not allowed to date because of him," I pointed to Jasper, "And my family won't allow it. I got hurt bad in the past."

He looked deep in thought, but that was all I could make out of it.

"Well if neither us can date then, how about hanging out. I'd love to meet your family if you two seem so great," Lucian smiled.

I blushed, because of his smile, "We're all adopted."

"That must explain you," Lucian said.

I was confused, but Jasper didn't seem to be, so I didn't say anything about it.

"Why don't you sit with us at lunch," Jasper suggested.

I shot him a shocked look, which made him chuckle. He knew how I felt about Lucian and yet he's encouraging us seeing each other?

"I'd be honored to join you and your family for lunch," Lucian said.

My shock melted and I looked at him with a smile on my face, "Great!"
