Yay! It's a new chapter! Sorry I've been taking so long to update, life is just punching me in the throat every other day.

Disclaimer: Still don't own Twilight, if I did Luz would be played by Ivana Baquero and Aubrey would be played by Blanca Suárez.

It was finally graduation day, a day neither girls thought they would ever reach. For Luz, not alive anyway. She sat surrounded by her best friends, Aubrey and Jasper on either side, his arm sat around Alice's shoulder and his right hand held Luz's. To the best of his ability he kept his best friend in a happy mood, he was so proud of this great accomplishment. Even though he had been through this process countless times, this one finally seemed like an actual achievement instead of an obligation. Using all of her might, Luz held his hand back and kept her head held high. Jessica's speech was actually inspiring and brought a smile to her lips and when her name was finally called –the last on the list- the entirety of the Cullen clan including, Charlie and the majority of the graduating class stood up, the whole auditorium seemed to roar with applause.

It wasn't that Luz was very popular but she seemed to have been friendly with the senior class, not to mention her deteriorating health had made her infamous around the school. Through their applause they complimented her perseverance. This time Jasper was unable to stop her tears from falling and her wide smile from reaching her eyes.

"And now I have the honor of presenting Luz Zanabria and Jasper Hale on stage, lets hope they let us go out with a bang!" Said Jessica through the microphone. In the last weeks of school Jasper had revealed that he could play the guitar and would convince Luz to sing along with him whether it was at home or in school. Jasper grinned and strapped his guitar over his shoulder after removing his gown, the cap was left on. Luz mimicked his actions and took the microphone that Jessica handed to her, Luz's graduation dress was short and white and she wore brown heels matching the belt around her waist. Alice had been able to work her magic before the ceremony to make her look, not only healthy but beautiful. Her dark curly hair although not as full as it had once been was perfectly styled and fell down her back over her shoulders.

"I wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad

Buy all of the things I never had

I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine

Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

Oh every time I close my eyes

I see my name in shining lights

A different city every night oh

I swear the world better prepare

For when I'm a billionaire." Sang Jasper as he strummed along on his guitar, the students watched in amazement as the transformation had begun before their very eyes. The once quiet, antisocial Cullen/Hale was now singing so comfortably on stage and well! Luz took her turn and rapped the lyrics. Every note was perfect and on point. And at the end the crowd began their applause again. They managed to go out with the bang they promised. Afterward most, if not all of the student body made their way to the Cullen household for the after party –with the exception of Aubrey. Luz's good mood held for the night as she danced with her fellow graduates. Jasper took her hand and led her away from the festivities knowing that she would soon crash. And she did.

XxX

I sat in my living room with Jake, we were watching some random show after having decided to leave the Cullen's graduation party early and the house was quiet since Luz had stood, of course she wouldn't miss a time to party with Jasper, it was a rare experience so we were alone. There was a knock at the door.

"Are you expecting anyone?" Jacob asked me as I wiggled out of his grasp. I answered the door.

"Carlisle?"

"Aubrey. Hi, where's Luz's room?"

"Upstairs, first door on the right. Why?"

"She's having some… issues with her health." He kept walking ahead of me, Jake lingered behind. I grabbed Carlisle's wrist urgently.

"What's going on with Luz?" I asked frantically, my eyes searching for the answer in his face.

"She's dying." I felt the tears start to burn the corner of my eyes. Jake stopped, Carlisle stopped, and everything seemed to stop.

"Carlisle I swear to God if one of you –"

"Shut up Jake! She's really sick!" Jake grabbed my wrist. His skin began to burn again; I hate it when he starts to get hot. I turned to him.

"You need to calm down, now. Or else." He looked at me, more confused than scared. Jake was always confused when it came to our health. He saw my eyes get glossy and cooled down. He found it pointless to turn when I was crying; I chose to cry a lot.

"Where is she?"

"With Jasper at the house, the party is over."

"She's dying and you leave her with Jasper?"

"Jake!"

"What? It's true! You'll be next!" Jake protectively stepped between Carlisle and me "Well not with me here."

"Jacob. Stop it. Your anger is unnecessary."

"You don't tell me when my anger is necessary and unnecess-"

"Jacob! My sister is dying!" I cried. Carlisle packed one set of clothes, why was he only packing one set? His phone rang.

"No, no. Keep her up!"

"What's happening? CARLISLE ANSWER ME!"

"Luz is dying. Quicker." Jake tensed up, warm again.

"Jake babe, please." He hates when I give him pet names; He started to shake.

"We need to go." His shaking became almost at an extreme but it was minor in comparison to mine. I couldn't hold it in, I shoved my head into Jake's arm and cried. He looked at Carlisle.

"Your car or mine?"

Merp, if Jackson Rathbone can sing then so can Jasper. Oh yeah, Luz is in trouble.
