Stick With It To The End

We were all about to go into the changing rooms, when Coach Parker called on Seth, Embry and me.

"Seth and Embry because you were late you two will put away the balls and put out the things for my next class. We're practicing on high knees and running, so would you please take out the small hurdles and the other stuff." Coach Parker said with a smug look on his face. Then he turned to me, "And you will help them Miss…I'll just call you Miss Lizzie, that's probably for the best. Now run along!"

I hesitated, what did I do to deserve this? I saw both Seth and Embry give me confused looks, they were probably also wondering that.

"Ehm, Coach Parker, what exactly did I do to deserve this?" I asked. Coach Parker turned to face me again but with a half smile this time.

"Ah, you think I didn't see, Miss Lizzie, that you were talking to Dumb and Dumber over there for quite a long time without doing something sporty did you?" He said eyeing my face for a reaction. Behind him I saw both Seth and Embry look a bit mock offended by the name calling. Embry had his hand to his heart and his face was shocked and his mouth was open. I was about to crack up because he seriously looked like a gay person, but Coach Parker interrupted me.

"Well Miss Lizzie?"

"Oh, ya—sure—whatever," I said, my eye going between him and dumb and dumber. I smiled and went over to Embry and Seth as Coach Parker went to his office behind a glass window so he could still see if we were doing our job.

"Thanks a lot guys," I said as I passed them going into the storage room.

"Aw c'mon it isn't that bad, you're with me and Seth boy here. Now that can't be so bad?" Embry said as both he and Seth put their elbow on either side of my shoulders.

"Well that's just it," I muttered low, but they seemed to hear me as Embry snorted and mumbled in mock 'Ungrateful little dwarf!'

"I'm not a dwarf! I just can't help that both of you are gigantic, enormous, tremendous, elephantine, gargantuan, Freakanormous(My own word! :P), giant, jumbo, whopping, king-size, bulky freaks!" I said in one breath that I was panting afterwards.

I looked up to see their expressions, hoping that I didn't hurt their feelings, or make them angry (I remembered what Tammy said 'Do Not Mess With Them') But then again, I was tough, I didn't care, but I still did. I didn't want Seth to hate me.

Embry and Seth were both wide eyed, and then they both burst out laughing. Embry was lying on the floor crying of amusement, and Seth was leaning against a wall, but he wasn't crying like Embry. Both of them were holding their sides.

I huffed and walked off to get the small hurdles and I went back into the sports hall. From the other side of the glass Coach Parker looked at me suspiciously, I gave him an innocent smile hoping that he would let it go. And he did, even though I wished he hadn't because I wish he could punish the jerks that just laughed at me.

I put out the hurdles, and Seth came beside me to help with a smile. A breath taking smile, a smile that makes you think that you will just explode…in a good way!

"Sorry but that was kinda hilarious, you-"But Seth was cut off by a loud Embry who was still laughing a bit.

"Yeah, I thought you would never stop with the names, seriously, I thought you were gunna burst or something. FREAKANORMOUS?! That was just hilarious! Did you come up with that yourself? For being tiny you are quite feisty, YEAH!" Embry laughed even more.

Embry had to shut up and collect himself 'cause Coach Parker tapped on his window and motioned with his finger that he shouldn't do that again.

I and Seth had put out all of the small hurdles, when doing this I sometimes caught him staring at me, which made me blush a little and look down. And when he caught me staring at him, 'cause seriously that body is not non-stare-able, he had a smug smile on his lips. Lips that were perfect, so full, lips that I want to crash mine against and…Hey! Breathe, Breathe, don't get carried away now.

As I went toward the girls changing room door, Embry yelled at me.

"Lizzie!" Just as I turned around he yelled 'think fast' and threw a basketball in such force that it would probably smack me against the door behind me. But before I met my possible death, two extremely warm hands were around my waist and yanked me out of the way. The basketball hit the door with a loud thud, which made my eyes go wide. That could have been me.

I looked up to see my savior that was still holding my waist, hoping desperately that I would be the Sex God Seth. And look who it was, luck and hope really was on my side, Seth the Grecian Sex God, muscled and toned…Hey focus! My mind screamed at me.

Seth was looking down at me with mix of smugness, amusement, concern, wow he must be talented, and his eyes were darker than before, was he turned on? And WHOAH his body was almost crushed against mine and his face was so close to mine that I could feel him breathing on me and vise versa.

I was trapped against the wall by Seth, which I didn't mind of course, and my eyes were wide, not in shock but—just look at him!

"You OK?" He asked with half a smile.

I was still wide eyed, my hands still and his chest and still looking into his 'oh so perfect body' the only thing I could do was to nod. But I wasn't OK, I was literally going crazy standing so close to Seth without being able to jump on him and kissing him fiercely without embarrass myself.

Seth turned his head around to look at Embry, who was looking between us with a shocked and amused look, and Seth growled at him and both of them exchanging looks like they were silently talking.

Embry was swinging back and forth on his heels and then he broke the silence.

"Well, OK, eh sorry for that Lizzie I guess I'm only used to take so much force in things around the guys. I should go now," And with that Embry disappeared into the boys changing room.

Seth who still hadn't let go of my waist, turned to look at me, of course I still had my eyes wide but who could blame me. He looked up and down my body, making me feel a bit self-conscious, and smiled.

"We should probably get going or we'll miss class," Seth said as he let me go, but I got the vibe that he didn't want to.

Of course I nodded again, and we made our separate ways to the changing rooms.

The only words I could say right now was, and they fit perfectly: Oh My Fucking God He's Hot!

For the rest of the day I didn't see Seth, but I did see Jacob in my art class, and I saw Kim, who came up to me and said that she was Jared's girlfriend, in my Calculus class. I also saw Embry in the corridor (on the other side wayyy away) who shouted a 'yoo-hoo' (he was loud as hell!) in a grandma kind of way and wave in that kind of way as well. I saw in his eyes that he new something I didn't know. Well when Embry did that everyone turned to look at me and him, some burst out laughing, some looked at Embry like he had gone demented, and some smiled at me the whispered something to each other. I blushed and looked down (What happened to your pride?!), and made my way to my locker.

Just when I closed it to go home for the day, Tammy came up to me with her shining black hair flowing back and forth.

And during this whole time the only thing on my mind was the Grecian God, Seth.

"Hi, OMG, why did Embry just do that to you?!" She asked ecstatic, eyes wide.

"Oh, well, we had P.E together…"I answered unsure what to say cause frankly I wasn't so sure why he did that.

"And…"She said stretching the syllable and motioning with her hand for me to elaborate.

"And that's it, I guess we became friends…oh and yeah he likes to tease me I guess, that's all,"

"Oo, friends huh?" She said nudging my shoulder.

"No. No, it's not like that, seriously we're just friends. Besides I have my eye on someone else-"Oh Crap! I stopped short, I had said too much, and I slammed my hand to my mouth quickly.

Tammy's eyes were wide and they were sparkling, a big smile slowly growing on her face. I bet she likes gossip. My mind said. Oh really, you think so? My other part of my brain said sarcastic. Oh no you didn- My mind started to defend herself against the other part. But I stopped them from going further with that I screamed out in the corridor.

"Stop! You're driving me crazy!" Aw crap, now everyone do think I'm crazy. Everyone in the corridor was looking at me like I was crazy and everyone was quiet. Tammy's face didn't change with my sudden out burst because I think she knew I didn't say that to her. I looked over her shoulder to see the reaction of Embry. But he wasn't there. Thank god for that, he would probably tease me for a century because of it.

"I'm sorry, that wasn't meant for you, where were we?" I asked and everyone was back to doing what they were doing before.

"I know. Anyway. You said that you had an eye for someone else, who is it?!" She said, both of her hands were clapped together and she was holding them by her mouth.

"Well—I just—me—he—nothing—"I couldn't get full sentences out and I was waving my hands out like a fool when I spoke.

"Oh c'mon just say his name, and I promise that I won't tell anyone!" She said, and then making a gesture with her hand that she was zipping her lips together and then she fake swallowed the key. What?

"Ehm, Tammy, a zipper doesn't have a key, and when you've zipped your lips together you can't open your mouth." I said, hoping I didn't embarrass her.

And I didn't, her face was still the same and she cracked a big grin and said.

"Oh-"And she started to laugh a little bit, "How stupid of me!" And she laughed her tinkling laugh a bit more.

"Could you please just tell me? Please pretty please!" She begged.

"OK, fine, but please don't tell anyone?" I asked, and she nodded, "Okay, well I kinda like Seth." I continued, looking down at my feet, hoping that she wouldn't laugh her ass off and say that I didn't have a chance in hell!

But nothing came out of her, so I looked up to see if she was still alive. And she was, her eyes were wider than before (if that's even possible) and her smile was, I don't know, very happy?

"Oh My God!" She said, stunned. I gave her a weak, insecure smile, hoping that she would say something more because honestly I don't think she's been this quiet her whole life, so it can't be good if she just stopped now, can it?

"I think you two will fit perfectly together. OMG I just got an idea! We can like go on a double date, that would be like so cool!" She said clapping her hands and hopping up and down.

"Whoa there cowboy or cowgirl…whatever, you see, I'm actually not his girlfriend, we haven't even gone on a date. So yeah, that won't work." I said holding my hand out toward her, palms up, an attempt to make her calm down.

"So then we're gunna make it work!" She said in a whiny 'duh' kinda voice. Before she could go into detail, thank god, her boyfriend Jimmy came over and gave her a small kiss on her cheek, and put his arm around her shoulders.

"C'mon cutie lets go." He said and then he looked at me, his eyes lingered up and down my body. What's with all the boys in La Push, do they all have to check me out like that?!

I could have sworn that he mouthed 'damn' when doing this. Then he met my eyes and smiled and said hi and that his name was Jimmy. I said hi and my name then turned to Tammy, who thank god hadn't noticed what he did.

"Remember Tammy, do not tell anyone!" I whispered my face serious.

She did the same gesture she did before with zipping her mouth, and then she giggle a little, probably remembering what she did before.

"Bye, see ya tomorrow!" She said with a grin then she disappeared.

When I came out to the parking lot I didn't see Collin or any of his friends. Huh, weird. I thought that I would get a ride home. But as I was hungry I didn't wait for Collin, so I walked home instead.

Twenty minutes later, I know fast huh? But with help from a hungry stomach I wanted to come home faster, so I ran a short distance. I could see my dad's car in the drive way, but I also noticed another car in the back, it was a white Volvo 850. God that's an ugly car. I thought.

I hesitated by the front door, not really wanting to face my dad. If this was one of his friends that knew what he could do then, I could be in deep trouble. Cause Jack has still not punished me for what I did the first time I met Sarah. But if it was someone else that didn't know about what dad did, then I'm safe, right? But one thing's for sure that I should stick with my new attitude, even if it gets me a good new beating, I gotta stay strong. I'm gunna stick with it to the end. To end, do I mean the end of my life or?

I let my mind continue, but I wasn't paying attention to it as I slowly stepped into the house.

"Finally you're home! I thought Collin would come home before you, that wouldn't be so good for me." My dad, jack said.

"What? Where did you send Collin?" I asked, concerned.

"Just to the store, I said he could pick you up at school after he went there. I also said that I called you and informed you about this, but no I didn't did I? I did this so we could have some alone time without someone interrupting." Jack answered. Beside him was a blond man with piercing blue eyes. Not eyes that you would normally like, these were scary, terrifying. They seemed colder than ice itself. This guy looked at me then smiled a slimy smile. He was seriously repulsive; I swear I would puke if I didn't hold my pride with being myself.

He eyed me up and down my body, his slimy smile never leaving his face. What's with men?! Do they always have to look at you like that?!

"Lizzie this is my friend Joel, he came here to visit you today." Jack said motioning to this Joel person.

"Oh, well, then hi and…goodbye." I said looking at Joel, and then I made my way to the stairs, but I was still hungry. I just didn't want to be in the kitchen much longer with the creeps.

But my dad stepped in front of me, blocking my way. I looked up at him with an evil eye.

"Move," I hissed. My dads face turned red with anger, and I could almost see steam radiating from his ears. I definitely pissed him off. Wow, with just one word? Way to go!

Right then my dad was about to slap me, but money appeared in between Jack's and my face. It was Joel who was holding money in his hand.

"Here, hundred fifty was it?" Joel asked as my dad nodded and took the money, "I quite like what I see, its better than I expected." Joel said looking at me smiling his disgusting slimy smile.

"What?! Dad did you just sell me to this repulsive, detestable, creepy, non-human, slimy person?!" I screamed at my dad right in the face. My dad was so red in the face that he would pass for a tomato.

Now my dad had enough and he slapped me hard, and by hard I mean it felt like he hit me with a piece of tin. This made me fall on the floor on my butt; it made a small thud noise. I looked up at my dad, but I hardly saw anything as my eyes were watery and my hair was in my face. I heard my dad say something to Joel, and Joel went back to his place where he was sitting before. He was just gunna watch until my dad was done with me.

Jack grabbed me by the hair and pulled me up. I screamed in pain, and dad slapped me again to make me shut up.

"You don't want to neighbors wondering what's going on in here, do we now." It wasn't a question.

Jack pushed me against the wall, and then he punched me in the stomach. My arms went automatically around my stomach, which caused me to think of Seth and his burning arms around my waist when he saved me from Embry's little charade. I bent over in pain, and before Jack's next move he spoke.

"First of all I'm not selling you. It's more like you're a prostitute, but instead of you selling yourself, I'm selling you." My dad spat. Then he kneed my forehead, and the back of my head banged into the wall behind me. I cried out in pain, serious pain. My tears were flowing freely.

"Second of all you owe me, remember what you did when you first met Sarah?" He squalled. He then took a glass and smashed it to my mouth.

"You're doing this because of a little thing, just because you got embarrassed? That's just low!" I said as blood was coming out of my mouth.

"AND thirdly you have a new attitude, and I don't like it!" He yelled, spit coming out of his mouth. His fist was raised ready to strike again, but this time Joel interfered.

"Now let's take it easy, I think the girl got it. I don't like doing girls that are all too bloody." Joel said. Jack nodded, but took my hair again and flung me to the floor. I fell right into the glass puddle. He then went to the sink to wash of my blood from his hands.

"I'm going to work now, Joel feel free to do anything to her, but don't kill her," My dad and Joel chuckled at that, "And if she's any trouble just call me." With that my dad left.

I was lying on my thigh and my hands supporting the rest of the body from lying in the glass puddle.

"Here, let me help you," Joel said holding out a hand. I unwillingly took it, and he helped me up but I slipped on a piece of glass and my own blood. But Joel caught me around the waist which prevented me from falling again.

"Let me take you to the shower," Joel offered, he had a perverted smile; he probably thought he was going to see me naked. No way in hell!

He helped me upstairs, and opened the bathroom door for me. He seated me on the toilet as he started to get the shower going. I leaned back against the toilets back support, not really bothering to take away the hair that was in my face, it was stuck there because of my blood.

"Just because you saved me from another one of my dads weak punches, doesn't mean I didn't mean what I said about you, ya know." I said

"Weak? Guess you're tougher than I thought. To be honest with you I didn't want a too bloody and broken girl to have sex with, and I thought if I help you, you maybe would change your mind about me and would help me make my time with you more pleasant." He said. Pervert.

"Yeah right, good luck with that." I said with my voice thick of sarcasm.

He took my arm and led me to the shower, when I was in I shivered and shrieked.

"It's fucking ice cold! Are you crazy?!" cried out shivering like crazy. He chuckled, and said.

"I think that cold water will help stop the blood from flowing that freely."

"Yeah, you think." I muttered icily. "I can't stand this, I need to get out."

"No stay," Joel said and pushed me back in, he ungracefully followed and he too shivered a bit. We were both fully clothed and were now soaking wet.

I steeped back from him, eyeing him skeptically wondering what he's gunna do, but I didn't get far cause the shower wasn't that big. He stepped after me and put his hands on my hips. I mumbled a no and tried to push him away. But he didn't stop.

"Now, now, don't fight back it'll only make it worse, and I could always call your dad and he'll come home later and give you another good beating. You want that?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

I just swallowed hard, and blinked rapidly. This made him chuckle and he started to close the distance between us. He moved one hand up under my wet shirt, which was hugging me tightly, and made his way to my ribcage. He left it there and moved his other hand from my hip down and cupped by butt.

I gasped, the ice cold water which was still pounding on our bodies, he pushed me up against the shower wall and pressed himself on me. He started kissing my neck and collarbone.

"You're very pretty," he mumbled against my neck skin, "so beautiful," he continued.

His hands were now roaming all over my body, pushing up my shirt. He started to kiss my jaw line, as he did this he started to unbutton my jeans. My heart was pounding harder than before, I was still I virgin and I didn't want to loose my virginity to this slimy bastard.

I slapped him which caused him to look at me with open mouth.

"Aw no, that was not smart young girl." It sounded like a threat but I wasn't sure.

He pushed me further up the wall, taking one of his hands on my thigh and bringing my leg over his hip. He held it there as he kissed me ferociously on the lips. It was worse than unpleasant, he chased around my tongue with his, and his other hand had cupped my breast.

Just then we heard a car in the driveway. Oh thank the holy mother of god!

He dropped my leg and stopped kissing me, and he left quicker than a horse on fire. I fell on my butt with my back still against the shower wall, the ice cold water felt like it was colder than before and I was shivering fast and heavy, but my legs were frozen in place. I couldn't move them. I soo wished for Seth's warmth right now, or anyone's really.

I heard a door open, and a call for my name and my dads. I wanted to call out but my lips were trembling so violently that nothing came out, the only thing hearable was the water pounding against me and the shower floor and my teeth shattering.

The voice grew more cautioned and worried, and I heard footsteps approach the bathroom door, and it opened.

I couldn't see who came in cause I was crying hard and shivering that everything was blurry.

What the fuck happened?

I know it was kinda violent…but I hope you liked it anyway. Any questions feel free to ask! This chappie was kinda long, 7 pages on word, and this is all for ya'll!!

Have a nice day/night
