A/N: They don't belong to me...
Carolina Platt. She was my cousin, and best friend; her father was my father's older brother and they've moved to England when we were fourteen. Our sweet sixteen had been on the same day at a beach in LA. And it was beautiful; it was like a luau party and all of our closest friends were there.
Carol and I had agreed that we would always e-mail or call each other in an emergency situation. And this was an emergency; after all nobody dazzled me so easily, I was the freak one that didn't fall in love for the classmates or the football team guy, the one who wouldn't make out with nobody. AND Carol always new what to do; she knew me better than my mom…
Dear Carol,
Well, as you know I'm looking after those prep-school kids. And I absolutely love it! They're all so adorable, and there is this little girl, Alice, she's remaking my wardrobe, she said that "mine was hopeless and that it was killing her". I think that's bad.
There's this little boy, Emmett, he reminds me of our cousin 'cause he's always running around and wanting to hit someone.
But well, as you probably know, I'm not sending this to talk about kids…
Today there was this totally handsome guy (I know, I know, "I'm not the kind of girl that says this", so you can guess the seriousness of my situation.) that went to pick his little brother, Edward, and… he was the most beautiful man I've ever seen. But he was so totally rude and he super estimated himself; and I hate this, you know.
But, he was so cute with his brother, and when it came to me he was sarcastic! Dude, he kissed my cheek and I felt it burning under his lips, and I AM STILL DAZZLED!
What should I do? HELP ME!!!!
Love you sunshine.
-Esme.
And so I went to sleep. But of course I kept rolling over my bed; I couldn't imagine what I would say tomorrow. And then when I finally slept, Carlisle Cullen was in my dreams. Shit.
When I woke up in the morning I felt like a zombie. It seemed like I had been hit by a truck three times. Oh, how I hated that stupidly handsome man, I wanted to throw acid on his face. But at the same time…
I got ready and went to the school. I'd have to survive another day without Carol's advice to guide me. Shit, again.
I walked to the room and waited. Jasper was the first to come…
"Hey Jazz. Where's your sister?"
"She's sick. And I came so I wouldn't be sick too." he smiled brightly.
"Hmm, she's got the flu too?"
"Yeah. Seems like everyone's got it."
Right after him Emmett and Alice arrived.
"Miss Platt!" Emmett screamed from the doorway "We're gonna travel!
I came to say goodbye to Rose! "
"Jazzy!" Alice said running to hug him "I'm going to Disney Land! I'm gonna bring you so many gifts!"
"WHERE'S ROSE?" Emmett stared to cry as he realized she wasn't here.
"She's sick my dear, she couldn't come." I said as I knelt in front of him
"Greg finally got his vacation in the same time as mine. We're taking them to California." Tamara smiled at me.
"Oh, this is so nice. I hope you'll have a great time there. The only little thing is that I'll miss this two so much!" I smiled back.
"Too bad I couldn't finish your wardrobe Ms. Platt. But I promise that as soon as I'm back, we're gonna do it together." Alice hugged Jasper once again, kissed me goodbye and went to hold her mom's hand. Emmett was crying on his dad's shoulder.
"Bye guys! See you. Have a nice time!"
And they left. I stood there drawing with Jasper. Anxiously waiting. And then almost an hour latter…
"Hi, sorry." His voice was rough, but my heart started to race.
"Hey… hmm, how's your mother?" I asked getting up and turning to face Carlisle, holding Edward in his arms.
"She's… I don't know." He seemed as tired as me. He looked terrible.
"Hi Edward." Jasper waved.
"Hi!"
"Wanna play? We could race!"
"Sure!" Edward nearly jumped from his brother's arms and stared to play with Jasper.
"Hmm… anything serious?" I timidly asked, feeling myself blush just for the fact he looked at me. WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG?
He sighed. "I honestly don't know. She went through a heart surgery last year. We were really scared, but my dad won't call me." He collapsed on the chair next to mine. His British accent coming out strongly this time.
"Carlisle… I'm so sorry." I sat next to him my hand reaching to touch his that was resting on the table. "But, what are you doing? I mean with the residency and stuff? Wasn't it your first week?"
"Yeah. But they gave me a break in the morning, knowing my mom's story I just have to show up while Edward here and during the week. Weekends I'm free. Just taking care of Ed, making sure he won't figure." He smiled.
"I see. I'm really sorry." It was all I could say. He nodded.
"You look terrible, by the way. Did you even sleep last night?" his crooked smile was back along with his sarcastic tone. I just glared.
"Haha. Look I've got to go. I'll come a little latter today, is that okay? Do you have anything to do tonight? Boyfriend waiting or something?" He asked getting up.
"No! I'm single" WAIT. Did I just say that? His crooked smiled turned into a boyish grin.
"I'll be a little late. So since I'm gonna make you wait, I'll invite you to have dinner with me. So we can figure each other out a little more."
Where was the floor again? "Hmm… I couldn't. I mean… it's not like… I'm gonna…" what was my name?
His school-boy smile was so big now that I was afraid his chin and his face would separate. That was definitely my favorite smile from him.
"Don't worry. I'll need help with Edward anyways. It's not like a date or something!" Oh sure. The floor was coming so fast now. It hit me so badly; I fought not to moan out loud in protest. I fell from the clouds.
"I know. Sure then." My favorite grin was still on when he kissed my cheek, making it burn once again.
"See latter then, Esme" And he was gone.
DAMN IT! I shouldn't have dreamed about him. Of course he wouldn't come with his white horse to pick me and leave, so we would be happily ever after. I was not sixteen anymore!
I wanted to kick myself! I was desolated. Of course he didn't like me. How could I be so stupid? I was NOT a princess and this was very far from a fairytale!
God! I was so angry with myself. I had to fight the tears when I turned to look at the boys. How could I even allow myself to fall in love with someone I didn't know?
I just hopped everything would go right tonight…
A/N: Hey... Yes, it is inspired in Taylor's "White Horse" but just the ending. and don't worry next one will be happier for them. I know it was my shortest... but it's nearly midnight, and soon my mom will come to kill me.
Well, I broke my foot yesterday and there was no blonde handsome doctor at the I've decided that when I'm officially sixteen [this shall be in May, this year], I'll throw myslef out of a tree, in hope I'll meet my Carlisle!
