AN: I'm so sorry this took so long and for any confusion as i didn't intend to confuse anyone:)
Liz's POV
At Lunch, Lucian waited at the front of the lunch line for me. I was with Edward and I thought Edward would get upset. Especially since we were in the same room as Bella, so his mood was already cranky.
"Hello, Lucian," I smiled up at him.
God, he was tall.
"Elizabeth," He took my hand and kissed it, my heart raced, which caused Edward to go still, "I'm glad to see you again."
"You too. This is my other brother, Edward," I motioned toward Edward with my hand.
"An honor to meet another one of Elizabeth's brothers," Lucian said, "My name is Lucian Blaise."
'Be nice.' I warned Edward in my head.
"Your a friend of Liz's?" Edward asked, sounding strict.
"I would hope so," Lucian glanced at me.
"Of course," My smile grew bigger.
"You should know that she is not allowed to date," Edward said.
"Jasper covered that with me," Lucian kept on smiling.
"He's not allowed to date, either, Edward, so drop it," I warned.
He shot me a look that clearly said I was way out of line.
"Jasper invited me to sit with you and your family at lunch, I hope that's alright," Lucian said.
"No problem," Edward said.
"Come on," I lead the way over to our table where the family was already sitting at.
I could see the questioning glares from Emmett and Rose.
"This is my sister, Alice and one of my mothers, Rosalie. Alice is dating Jasper and Rosalie is dating my other brother Emmett," I introduced, "Everyone, this is Lucian Blaise, he's the new foreign exchange student."
"It's nice to meet you," Alice smiled and danced her way over to Lucian, "Jasper told me about you."
"How nice of him," Lucian took Alice's hand and kissed it.
"I asked him to sit with us," Jasper said.
That caused everyone to relax.
"Elizabeth's mother," Lucian asked questionably as he kissed her hand, "You are way too young to be anyone's mother."
"That's my choice," Rose smiled.
"And mine," Emmett took Rose's hand that Lucian had just kissed.
"Of course," Lucian said.
I sat on the other side of Rose, "Mom's like a mother to me even though she's only two years older than me."
I patted the seat next to me for him to sit, but Edward beat him, smiling a fake smile. Lucian smiled and sat between him and Jasper.
"That makes more sense," Lucian said.
My family, except Edward, just loved Lucian. No one seemed to remember about the fact that I liked him and I'm not allowed to date. Though, by the looks I got, it was clear that they could see that I liked him. Edward was just in a bad mood because of Bella. I wanted to tell him to knock it off, but I didn't. I didn't want him to yell at me. Emmett and Rose loosened up with him almost immediately. Rose invited him over for dinner. I just hoped he didn't notice that none of them ate anything off their tray. Lucian agreed, which made the butterflies in my stomach grow more.
Flashback
I was four and Rose had just given me a bath. I walked over to Edward who was playing the piano and sat with him.
"Hey, sweetie," He smiled down at me.
I had to smile back, "Me play too?"
"How about I play too you," Edward suggested.
"Me want that," I nodded.
I loved Edward's music. Since I came to live with the Cullen's, I would only sleep when hearing Edward's music. They made me a CD.
I hadn't listen to his music for more then five minutes, when Emmett came into the room and swept me off of the piano chair and twirled me the air.
I squealed, "Down, Down!"
Emmett set me on my feet, "Let's go swimming."
My eyes lit up, "Swimming!"
"She just had a bath, Emmett," Rose came into the living.
"Awe, Rose," Emmett complained.
"Me swim mommy, me swim," I begged.
Jasper came into the room holding a DVD that said, Pokemon and I recognized it.
"Poke, poke," I squealed, telling Jasper that I wanted to watch that instead.
"What about swimming," Emmett pouted.
I stopped, torn. Emmett wanted to swim, but there was Pokemon movie. I wanted to see the movie, but Emmett was sad.
"We go swimming," I crossed my arms stubbornly.
Jasper looked at me confused.
"Oh there is no way she would choose swimming over Pokemon," Rose said.
"She would if it meant that Emmett would be happy," Jasper said.
"Jasper, she's four," Rosalie said.
"Well that's what she is feeling," Jasper said.
"Swim now?" I titled my head toward Emmett.
"No, sweetie," Emmett said, "Were going to watch Pokemon."
"Yay!" I squealed in delight.
End of Flash Back
I headed over to Rose's car, I had promised to ride home with them today, when Lucian appeared next to me.
I jumped, "Lucian," It wasn't the fact that he had popped out of no where, I was use to that, it was the fact that it was him, that made me jump.
"Hey, Angel, mind if I give you a lift home?" He asked.
My heart beat thumped hard at him calling me angel.
"No I don't mind, but I kind a promised my mom and Emmett that I would ride with them," I felt so torn.
"Let me talk to them and see if I can get them to budge," Lucian said, walking over to Emmett's jeep.
I followed behind him, but he came to walk side by side with me. There was something off with Lucian that made me wonder. I hadn't realized it before. My family didn't seem affected by his blood and they liked him a lot. It took them two months to even trust and handle being around Alexander. I wondered what other mysteries this gorgeous man had that I didn't realize.
We reached the jeep to find Emmett leaning against his jeep with his sunglasses on, watching us.
"Can I help you," Emmett asked, trying and failing to act cool.
Though, he did make himself look totally sexy and drop dead gorgeous, but technically he was already like that because he was a vampire.
"I was wondering if it'd be alright if I take your sister home," Lucian asked, in a voice that I would have immediately said yes to.
"Sorry man, but Rose has got a surprise for her," Emmett said, looking torn.
There was another thing. He could practically get anyone to do what he wanted.
"That's no problem, I guess another time," Though, when he looked at me, I knew it was a question and it was for me.
"Defiantly," I smiled.
Damn it to Hell. I was so drawn to him. Which also scared me. I've never been this way with anyone, but part of me loved it.
He smiled gratefully, "I'll look forward to it," Then he looked back at Emmett, "Take care."
"You too," Emmett nodded gracefully.
Lucian took my hand and kissed, causing my heart to stop, again, "Until dinner, Angel, my thoughts will be about you."
He nodded to Emmett again, and I watched him leave memorized.
"Damn, girl," Jasper popped out of no where, "You've fallen for this guy hard."
"That's not my fault," I defended, "It's his. He is so God damn... I don't know, everything."
"He's in love with you," Jasper said.
"What?" Rose asked, from behind me.
"It's true," Edward was now next to Jasper.
"H... he's in love with me?" I asked in shock.
"From the moment he laid eyes on you," Jasper said.
"I don't know why he can't date," Edward said, "But whatever the reason is, it's a pretty good one. He wants to save you from being hurt and he knows you will be."
"But he just can't stay way from you," Jasper said.
"Nor will he," Edward said, "As long you want him to be."
"Maybe you should follow his example," I said, coldly, getting into the jeep.
My siblings talked to themselves while I thought this over. He loved me? No, no, no he couldn't. Not him. But neither Jasper, nor Edward would lie about this. But I had to watch myself. Neither of us were allowed to date so that meant that I had to be in control. Like Edward, except not stupid. He glared at me and I stuck out my tongue and he, thank God, laughed.
Flashback
It was my eighth birthday. Birthdays were always the hardest for me, because it reminded me of Anna. It was her birthday too and so my family would always try their hardest to keep my mind off of it. It worked up until I went to bed when the memories and thoughts flowed into my mind. Rose, Jasper, Carlisle, or Edward laid with me those nights.
We were on a deserted island that I never got the name of. My family was free to be themselves and I loved that. I was on Emmett's shoulders as Jasper, Edward, and Alice chased us around the beach. When Emmett passed Rose, Esme, and Carlisle, he flopped me into Esme's lap and charged the other three, acting all protective like.
"GO Emmett!" I cheered, giggling.
Emmett dove for Edward, but Edward read his thoughts and moved out of the way and ended up tackling Jasper instead.
I giggled, "Mommy," I looked up at Esme, "Can I have a squirt gun?"
"Sure, Sweetie," Esme said.
Carlisle handed the gun to Esme and she gave it to me.
"Thank you, mommy," I kissed her cheek and ran after Edward.
Edward pretended not to hear me coming as I stopped a few feet away from him, squirting him with water.
"Hey," Edward said, blocking the water with his hands.
I dropped the gun and jumped at him. He caught me, falling backward, "Ah, no you got me."
"Yeah, I sooo did," I giggled.
Edward laughed, his eyes bright with happiness.
End of flashback
Edward looked away at the memory, closing up again. I looked away, as well. Edward had been distance since Bella came and I missed the old Edward. It was his fault, though. The separation was killing him. Emmett and Rose got in the car when Alice showed up. She kissed Jasper on the lips, then popped her head in the back seat at me, grinning like an idiot.
"Your going to LOVE the surprise," Alice sang.
"I'm sure I will," I kissed her cheek, "Love you."
"I love you too," She pulled her head out of the car.
We drove off onto the high way that lead to Port Angeles.
"So what's in Port Angeles," I asked.
"You'll see," Emmett smirked.
"We know you won't believe us unless we show you," Rose said.
I was confused, but my mom put in Taylor Swift and I didn't worry about it. I just sang to the song, Invisible.
"How does she listen to this," Emmett shook his head annoyed.
"Leave her alone," Rose chastised.
We reached the mall and there was a giant sign that made me get out the car and run to it. I started wide eyed. There was a huge sign that said, 'House of Night' in giant letters. Right next to it, there was a picture of Zoey and above her said, 'Marked'. Bellow that, it said, 'A House of Night party will be held in the center of Port Mall at noon on Saturday March 20th.
There will be prizes to win and things to buy from the new movie Marked that had come out in theaters January 30th. The movie will also being played at 2:00 and afterwards a preview to Betrayed. The authors P.C. Cast and her daughter Kristin will be present along with the band Daughtry.
"Oh my God!" I screamed.
"We expected that," Emmett said, pleased.
I turned around, "Can we go? PLEASE," I begged.
"Aw come on, Liz, you know how we feel about this vampire stuff," Emmett faked a pout.
"You wouldn't have shown me this if I couldn't go," I looked at Rose.
"Your right, we are going," Rose smiled.
"Yay!" I hugged her, "Thank you, mommy."
I hugged Emmett next and then headed back into the car, my mind reeling. Rose and Emmett got into the car as well.
"We were thinking you could bring a friend," Emmett said.
"We thought you'd choose Bella because of your weird ideas about her and Edward, but now we think you'll choose Lucian," Rose said.
"No," I said so fast and loud, Rosalie slammed on the breaks.
"What do you mean, no," Emmett asked, "I thought you liked him."
"I do."
"Then what's the problem," Rose asked.
"I can't."
"You can't what?" Emmett asked.
"I can't ask him."
"Your scared," Emmett asked.
"Yes," I groaned, "Can we talk about this later."
But for some reason, my mind went to Anna. I wanted to bring her. Well I wanted to bring Lucian too, but Anna more. I looked out the window, wishing I knew where she was and go to her. I wish I could be with her, see her again. I wanted it so bad.
Rose dropped me off with Edward and Esme so we could pick up some groceries. I walked in and trailed over to the vegetable section to get tomatoes and lettuce. I was in the mood for Tacos.
"There you are," a voice said from behind me, making me jump.
I looked behind to see the man or well the teen I had met yesterday. I think his name was Paul.
He looked rather annoyed, "We don't need any vegetables, now come on."
He took my wrist, "How would you know," I tried to jerk my hand back as he pulled me to the exit.
"I'm not stupid, Anna," Paul said.
"Well you've got to be, because I'm not Anna," I tried to pull my wrist free again.
