Hey there everyone! This coming along slowly, I'm thinking about starting on Luc's story soon. I think his needs to be told, plus I'm thinking about starting a new Twilight story. I have an idea and it's like trying to get out of my head. Haha.

ENJOY AND LOVE IT!

Tori Elaine.

I've hoped for change,
it gets better everyday.
I've hoped for change,
but still I feel the same.
there's something wrong,
cause everybody knows
that we can do this on our own.

I paced the porch waiting for Ryan to get here, I knew that my Uncle wanted me to wait until my Grandmother May to get here before I read the book, but I simply couldn't wait that long. I had my small purse that my Uncle gave me with his credit card inside and my cell phone.

I sat down on the step and blew out some air. I had called Ryan 30 minutes ago; he said he would be right over and that he knew the perfect place. But he wasn't here yet, I still had questions about how he acted this morning, but I had a feeling he wouldn't answer them.

Finally a red jeep pulled up and out jumped Ryan. He ran over to me leaving his car running.

"SORRY! I had to get past my father. He doesn't really let me out all that much."

"That's okay. I'm just glad you came over."

"Anytime. Let's get going!"

"OKAY!"

I jumped up, hugged him, and ran towards his car opening the door by myself. I jumped in and then looked at this rope type thing hanging next to me. I was poking it with my finger when Ryan climbed in.

"Something wrong Aya?"

"What is this?"

"Uh…a seat belt?"

"What does it do?" He laughed loudly for 5 straight minutes, until he saw I was being completely serious.

"Sorry. Well it protects people from flying out of the car if we ever get in a accident."

"Does that happen a lot?"

"Sometimes. Here this is how it works."

He reached across me and pulled the seat belt over me, his fingers brushed the skin of my stomach. I had changed clothes and was now wearing a too small of tank top. About 2 inches of my stomach showed. His fingers left an icy, but warm feeling where they had skimmed my skin.

He clicked it into something between my seat and the box between us. I smiled when I pulled forward and saw that the seat belt went with me. Ryan just laughed and shook his head at me.

"Tell me about your dad Ryan." We were driving down the road and he hadn't spoken to me for a while.

"He is a control freak. Something happened to him a couple of years ago and he's a different guy. My mother left us a while ago, saying my father wasn't what she thought he was. I haven't seen her or heard from her since."

"I'm sorry." He turned towards me and smiled slightly.

"It's okay. He's been like this all my life, always looking behind his shoulder, always talking to himself. I'm never home, I have school and work. So I don't have to be around him that much…"

"Still I know how you feel."

"Do you now? Does your father act the same way?"

"No my mother…she changed a couple months after I turned 5. She started looking at me with disgust, stopped playing with me, then I got older and she got colder. If I entered a room, she would leave and if she couldn't leave she would act like I wasn't there unless she had too."

"What made her change?"

"I don't know."

He pulled into an area and stopped the car and I looked outside the window. We were somewhere called Borders. There were a lot of cars and people walking around going in and out of doors.

"This is where you buy books?"

"Yah and coffee, plus music and movies."

"Coffee?"

"Just wait and see, you'll fall in love!"

I laughed while he undid my seat belt for me. I got out of the car and walked towards the doors with him. He careful slipped his hand into mine lacing his fingers through my own. I gently smiled at him and watched as he smiled his perfect smile back. As he went to get the coffee I went to someone standing by a desk wearing a black shirt that said Borders.

"Do you work here?" The guy looked at me and smiled.

"Yes. What can I help you with?"

"I need to find a book."

"What's the title and the author?"

"Truth About You and Me by Binky West or Kay. I'm not sure when she wrote it."

"Alright this way. That book is very popular. I mean even the people who hate Sci-Fi stuff read this book!"

I laughed nicely and followed him through the store; he stopped in the fiction section and pulled out a medium sized book. The cover had a picture of young girl with long curly hair looking up into the sky. The title was in red script letters. The guy handed it to and I smiled and watched him walk away. I sat down in a black chair and began to read the first chapter.

I was always a fast reader, so by the time Ryan came and found me I was on the third chapter. Right after the chapter where she kissed someone that wasn't my father and another vampire named Nick. The scary thing is the way my mother describe Nick, was the way I would describe Ryan.

The way she talked about his hair hanging in his honey brown eyes was the exact way Ryan's did. My palms started to sweat and my head began to spin, right away I knew something wasn't right. Was Ryan Nick or was his father Nick? I was still thinking about it when Ryan came up to me with two steaming cups in his hands.

"Here, I got you my favorite."

"Thank you. Ryan what's your fathers name?" I took a large drink and quickly felt the fire in my mouth. I quickly swallowed and tried to give the drink back to Ryan.

"Aya, you have to drink it slowly. Don't you like it?" He was smiling now, which made me forget my question.

"Yes, its good, besides the burning taste it leaves in my mouth afterwards."

"Well take another SLOW sip." I did as he told me to and actually liked it. I smiled at him and stood up. "Got your book?"

"Yes. I'm going to go pay for it right now."

"Alright."

I walked to the front and stood in line trying to ignore all the stares coming from the guys that were in the store looking at the magazines. Finally one guy actually got the nerve to come up and talk to me.

"Hello there sweetheart. Names Johnny what's yours?"

"Aya." I slightly turned away, but he moved so that he was in front of me.

"Well Aya what are doing after this?"

"Going home."

"Ooh. That sounds boring why don't you come with me and my friends to a party."

"No thank you." I took a drink of my coffee and tried to move past him, but he grabbed my wrist.

"Come on. Have a little fun. You look young, young girls are supposed to have fun not be prudes."

"Excuse me, I'm not like other "young girls" so why don't you get your dirty little fingers off of me!" I tried to step around him, but he held his arm out so that I couldn't.

"I don't like that tone you just used with me. I asked you nicely to come to a party with me and my friends just so we could show you a good time." He snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. His hand slowly went down to my ass cupping it in his hand. He had his face close to mine so that our noses were touching; I was in too much shock to even try to push away. When he pressed his lips to mine and I felt him being tugged away from me and onto the ground.

I looked up to see Ryan standing over him, his face set in an evil glare. He picked the guy up by his shirt collar so that his feet weren't touching the ground.

"You leave her alone, she is with me. Got it? Next time I see you anywhere near her Johnny even at school, I will bash your face in so that no girl will ever look at you again. Your lucky were in a public place." He threw Johnny down the ground, put his arm around my waist and tugged me to the very front of the store.

He tossed my book on to the counter and then threw some money along with it. The guy put the book in the bag and handed it back to me and gave Ryan some money back. Ryan grabbed the top of my arm and tugged me out of the store and to his car. He opened the door and shoved me into the seat buckling my seat belt for me. He got in, started the car, and tore away from the store all within 2 minutes.

I sat quietly until we got to my house, when he turned off the car he gently put his head on the wheel in front of him and started breathing through his nose. I felt bad for making him this mad; I didn't know the guy was going to act like that! I didn't even know what the guy was doing! He was the second guy I have ever kissed, Quil being the first.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you Aya, I didn't mean to grab your arm so hard. Johnny goes to my high school he's a big asshole. " He said quietly.

"OH NO! I'm sorry! I didn't know what he was doing! I should of used my strength or something, but he took me by surprise." He looked back up at me and smiled.

"Aya, you have no reason to be sorry. I don't know about where you come from, but no guy should ever touch you like that without your permission."

"No guy has ever tried to touch me like that, where I come from guys don't come near me. Besides Quil, Embry, and Edward, but their my best friends so they don't count I guess."

"Strange names."

"Yah…" I was looking down at my hands trying not to cry, I missed them. Really missed them, I had never been away from them this long and it was getting hard. Ryan was nice, but he was no Quil.

"You miss them?"

"Yah I do."

"Earlier Aya when we were at Taco Bell you said that your parents didn't want you anymore, what did that mean?"

"My mother kicked me out because I didn't want to live where I lived anymore. I was closed in tight and I hated it. I wanted to see new things and meet new people. Just because she gave up her life to live where we lived and how we lived, doesn't mean I have to. I wasn't going to wait out my final human year in that damn place!"

I was shocked at my outburst, I quickly undid my seatbelt and threw open the car door. I raced to the house and unlocked the door as fast as I could. I heard Ryan coming up behind me, but I shut the door before he could get in. I heard him say my name from the other side of the door, soon his calls where downed out by sound of my sobs.

I locked the door and moved away from it. I knew if he badly wanted to get in he would just break down the door, but I think he knew that I needed to be alone for a while. I moved into the living room and tried to calm myself down. Really all I wanted was for Ryan to break down the door and circle his arms around and kiss my tears away.

But what I needed to do was talk to Quil, my best friend I needed him right now. I reached for my cell phone and dialed my Uncle. I got his voice mail and I told him I needed to talk to Quil no matter what or my father. I just needed to talk to someone.

I clicked the phone shut and picked up my mother's book. I kicked off my shoes as I turned on the lamp next to me. I turned to where I left off last time and began to read.

3 HOURS LATER

"WHAT IS IT?" Stacie cried laughing.
"Shhh. be quiet and then I'll tell you."
"All right. Tell us. Please Auntie Binky."
"Okay. You ready?"
"Yah." All three said at the same time.
"Your never too young to fall in love."

They all looked at me confused like before shrugging their shoulders and running down the hallway to go out in the backyard. Aya didn't go with them. Instead she wrapped her arms around my neck and yawned.

"Mommy. I tired."
"I know honey. Let's go take a nap."
"You don't sleep silly!"
"No, but I can still dream."

I took my little girl to her room and lay down with her until she fell asleep, but I didn't move I stayed by her side gently running my fingers through her golden hair. That's where Luc found me 2 hours later.

I screamed and threw the book across the room making it hit the wall with a loud thud. That's how it ended? My mother acting all loving towards me? What a sham! I screamed again and got up to pick up the book. She never told me about her lost love Sam or how Penny betrayed them. OR that my father's father was the one that killed half of my family! Why didn't I know these things? Why didn't I know that my Uncle was missing for five years? Why didn't they tell me there was an insane guy after my family?

AN INSANE GUY THAT LOOKED JUST LIKE RYAN! I was so confused about that the most. For reason I was for sure that Ryan was Nick/Marcus.

And I was sure…

That I was totally head over heels in love with him.

And I'll confess
That I can be a little selfish
I can I can
Yeah I'll admit
I don't want you to get me through this
I don't want to start over again

­­­­­­­­­­­­TAHA!

What do you think?

Is it his father or is it Ryan?

Hehe.
