Me: *giggling*
Jazz: (To Edward) why is she giggling?
Edward: *shrugs* either she just got a huge brain blast or she drank two huge glasses of apple juice.
Me: A little bit of both! *Starts hopping in place* but mainly the apple juice thing, that stuff is amazing.
Jazz: then what was your brain blast about?
Me: can't say, Seth might hurt me
Seth: *growls*
Me: eep! I don't own twilight! *Jumps up* now on with the story!
Previously on WTT:
Quietly, I walked over and sat at the chair on the other side of Lily. I took her hand in mine and rested my head against the pillows as silent tears ran down my face.
"I love you too, Lily. I'm sorry."
Chapter 16
SPOV
"I love you too, Lily. I'm sorry."
Seth,
If your reading this that means two things; one, we got over what I told you and moved on with our lives and I gave this to you as a gift. Or two, we got into a fight and I threw this at you. Either way, this was going to end up in your hands one way or another.
If I had to give this to you after a fight then remember, I love you. Don't listen to a thing I said after the fight, listen/read to what I'm saying now. I love you and no matter how you take it, what you do, or what you say, I love you. Nothings going to change that. Nothing can and nothing will.
Love,
Lily
That note ran through my head several times as I sat here next to her with my face still being rubbed into the stiff sheets. To be honest, I've had my face in these sheets for the last fifteen minutes debating whether or not to lift my head up and face my appending doom of stone cold fists and a probably glaring imprint.
My phone vibrated, alerting me that I now have had my head in the sheets for twenty minutes. With a sigh, I lifted my head and grabbed my phone from my pocket. I looked at the caller I.D. and saw it was Jacob. I groaned softly before taking one look at the still sleeping girl and pressed talk.
"Yes Jake?" I answered.
"Is she still asleep?" he asked sounding out of breath.
"What? No 'good morning'?" I teased him.
He chuckled, "Well, I didn't hear a 'good morning' either mister"
I laughed softly so the noise didn't wake Lily, "Well alright then. Good Morning Jacob"
His responding laugh was loud, "Nice accent there Seth. And Good Morning to you too. Now, is she still asleep?"
I looked over at Lily and gently caressed her bruised cheek, "Yeah, she's still sleeping but her bruises are looking a little better compared to last night."
"That's good. Alright, I just called to see how she was doing, me and the others are running patrol so see you later Seth. And don't worry, she'll be fine." He said.
"I know she will. She's Lily, she doesn't give in without a fight." I chuckled without humor.
"Yeah, alright. Bye Seth."
"Bye Jake" I flipped the phone shut and sank down on the chair while rubbing my hands against my face.
Just as I removed my hands from my face, I felt that cold fist I've been dreading for the past twenty-four hours.
"Ah there it is" I took my nose in my hands and reset it before getting up and walking over to the sink to clean up the blood.
There was a chuckle from behind me, "Well, you deserved it"
"I know Emmett, I know" I used the cold paper towel and wiped the leftover blood before tossing it out and going back to my chair, only to have another fist go at my nose...again.
With a deep breath, I stood back up and walked over to the sink and did the usual to me nose(freakin' nose abusers). Once I was done I turned around and stared at the three brothers who just looked at me.
"Anyone else want a whack at my nose? Cause I mean, it is out in the open with a huge neon sign reading, 'Hit Here'." I told them bitterly.
Edward walked over and grabbed a wet paper towel from the sink and handed it to me, "Here, you have a little dried blood on the tip of your nose."
With a nod, I wiped the tip of my nose and hopefully wiped away the last of the blood.
"Alright, so half of the reason we came here was to do that" Jasper started.
"But that wasn't the only thing" Emmett finished.
I looked at them confused and slightly not caring, I just wanted to get back to my chair and bury myself in the pile of guilt I built myself.
"The other thing was to sort of apologize." Edward said, "We kind of treated you like crap when you were already beating yourself about it to begin with."
Jasper uncrossed his arms and stuffed them into his pants pockets, "The amount of self-loathing and guilt coming off of you last night, well, it made me realize you had enough to deal with without our stupid overprotective brotherly act."
"Yeah, I mean, she's our little sister and we're supposed to protect her and we guess, this made us feel like failures as her older brothers. But then that meant, you felt that times a thousand with your job and role in her life. So, we're sorry." Emmett finished up.
I sighed as I walked over to my chair and sat down, "Apology accepted and honestly, I deserved everything you guys gave me." I looked over at Lily who was still sleeping as soundly as ever, "You were just being the protective brothers she needs."
"We'll be back, we need to let everyone who isn't Carlisle, how she's doing." Edward said as they exited the room.
I took Lily's hand in mine and rest my head back on the sheets as the tears fell down my cheeks, "Oh Lily, if you can hear me, I love you and I'm sorry for everything"
"What did I tell you about apologizing?" my head shot up to see the best sight I've seen in days.
LPOV
"What did I tell you about apologizing?" my head shot up to see the best sight I've seen in days.
My head was pounding, my ribs were throbbing, my arm and legs numb as can be. Ugh, what happened? I tried to stretch my legs but only one was able to move while the other seemed to be bond by god knows what. My right arm was bond by the same thing and I felt something weighing my right hand down but I didn't know what.
I opened my eyes to see that I was in a familiar room that I recognized as a hospital room. Great! This means I'm alive. That's a good thing, right?
I looked down to see that both my right arm and left leg were covered in plaster while my right ankle was wrapped by a beige bandage. I looked towards my hand to see what was trapping my hand when I saw a familiar head lying on the bed with my hand held tightly in his. Oh Seth.
"Oh Lily," he said muffled by the sheets, "if you can hear me, I love you and I'm sorry for everything." even muffled by bed sheets, I heard him.
"What did I tell you about apologizing?" his head shot up and his eyes widened at the sight of my open eyes. His piercing brown eyes seemed to glow with happiness with a hint of sadness that I was determined to wipe from his bright eyes.
Suddenly I was being wrapped in his strong arms that I've been craving for the last three? days. Tears were flowing down my cheeks as I returned his hug with difficulty but I didn't let it get in the way.
"Oh Lily, I'm so sorry. I know you told me not to apologize but I can't help it. I feel like this is all my fault. I'm so-" I slapped my hand over his mouth.
"I swear Seth, if you say sorry one more time I'll Nessie make you a tutu to wear in front of everyone." I threatened. "Now, when I move my hand, will you promise not to say sorry?" He nodded. "Alright then."
I removed my hand carefully and he looked at me before blurting out. "Sorry!"
"That's it, were is my phone? I need to let Ness know your size for your wolf size tutu" I looked around but was stopped when I felt Seth's lips capture mine.
The kiss was wonderful. It was filled with love, passion, sorrow, and relief. We laid out all of our emotions out and it made the kiss that much more passionate.
Just as his tongue ran across my lips begging for an entrance, someone cleared their throat. We broke apart to see Carlisle standing by the door wearing his signature doctors coat with clipboard in hand.
"Well, looks like your alright emotionally" he chuckled before walking over and started checking the I.V. "How are you physically?"
"My ribs are throbbing, my arm and leg feels funny and my right ankle is in pain. What was the damage?" I told him as I took Seth's hand in my good one.
Carlisle put something in the I.V. bag, "There, that should help with the pain. As for the damages, you have one broken rib on your left side. Your right arm and left leg as you can see are broken, well, your arm is fractured. Your right ankle is badly sprained but should be healed by the end of next week. Other than that, nothing else is wrong, we were just waiting for you to wake up beforehand."
His last sentence confused me, "Before what?"
"Before-" the door swung open and soon I was wrapped in the arms of my adoptive mother. Carlisle's expression was one of relief as he saw Esme run in here. Hm..wonder what that was about?
"Oh sweetheart! I'm so glad your alright!" she held me at arms length and started to examine me with her eyes, "Are you okay? Do you hurt anywhere? Do you feel any pain? D-?
"Mom! Calm down! I'm fine! Carlisle just gave me some pain medication. I'll be fine." She froze at my words before her eyes brightened and she smiled the biggest smile I've ever seen her smile before.
"You called me mom" She whispered as if afraid of something.
I looked down, "Well yeah. I mean, you've done so much for me and to be honest, you treated me like your own daughter even when I felt like I wasn't worthy of it."
Her arms wrapped around me, "Oh Lily, you are worthy of it. And I do see you as my daughter. Thank you." I looked at her puzzled, 'thank me'? What is there to thank me for?
She must have seen my confused expression, cause she said, "Thank you for letting me be your mother, for bringing my family closer together, for making Seth even happier, for giving Nessie a friend who wasn't in the wolf pack, for everything you've done for our family."
I hugged her as tightly as I could. It felt good to have a mother again. To have someone to give you advice and do other mom things. It was a good feeling. A feeling I didn't want to loose soon.
"Carlisle, come here since I know your right behind the door" I called as he walked in sheepishly.
Esme chuckled as she pulled Carlisle in to our little group 'hug'. I mean there's only so much you could do with one arm.
"Thank you for everything you guys." I said as I pulled back and looked them. My heart swelled as I realized I was loved by not just one parent but by both. It's been forever since I felt the love of two parents. How I've missed this feeling.
"um, dad? I was wondering if Alice found a small wooden chest back in the house?" I was not only testing the word, I was really curious if they did find the box. And the letter! I almost forgot about the letter! Oh wow my brain is all flipped.
Carlisle smiled so wide almost rivaling Esme's and his eyes brightened tremendously it was insane. "Uh, I believe so. I'll, uh, have to call her to ask." I pulled him into a hug and held him tightly before releasing me.
"Thank you" Esme whispered so low I almost didn't catch it.
I grinned in response just as a wave of exhaustion crept over me and my eyes started to droop.
"Whoa, that medication hits hard" I giggled.
Esme and Carlisle chuckled before both kissing my forehead as I lay back down on the pillows. The door opened then clicked close and I heard someone sit in the chair next to me. They took my hand in theirs and by the touch I automatically knew it was Seth. He must have left when I was talking to Esme and Carlisle.
His pressed his lips against the back of my hand, "Sleep, my Lily."
With his words, I welcomed the darkness and dreamed about me and Seth in our clearing without any disturbances.
Four days. I've been stuck in this hospital for four days.
Seth's been with me for all four days, and I'm happy he was. I mean, sure I thought he spent way to much with me but when he said that if he went home he would go insane not wondering if I was okay here. I shut up after that just basked in his magnificent Seth glory. My family visits like nothing. Rose tells me that can't wait to play with my hair and that she found a style that will look awesome on me. Alice says that she can't wait to have her latest barbie doll back and that she found the best outfit for me to wear when I get out of here. Jasper and Emmett told me that when I get out they're going to teach me how to play video games. Edward said that when I get better he'll teach me a few things on the piano and Jasper with the guitar. Bella said she will help with the toning down of Alice's Lily Barbie time. And Nessie promised me to show me around La Push with Jake and Seth since we can't go anywhere without them following us. Esme said that we could sit in the garden while she plants and we could just talk if I felt like it. Carlisle said we could spend a day in his study to try and figure out the full extent of my healing powers.
While here, I've noticed something. Whenever Seth comes to the room from downstairs, to clean his nose then sit next to me to talk, my nose is sore. I think that whenever Seth gets his nose punched, I can feel some of his pain. Not to the full extent of course but some pain. Like something hit it-not brake it but bumped into it. It's weird but I'll use it to my advantage against my brothers.
There's something weird going on today. Carlisle has been nervous all day and the others-minus Seth- have had strained expressions on their faces. They say it's because Alice had a vision about me but since Seth is around me all the time she was having a hard time seeing the outcome of it. I know there's more to it but I promised myself I wouldn't pry.
I was four seconds from going completely insane when there was a knock on my door.
"Come in" I called as the door opened to a woman I thought I would never see again in my life.
My social worker.(A/N: i so was going to end it there but hey, what the heck?)
"Well hello Liliana, it's been awhile." Ms. Jennings walked in and sat on the chair that Seth had left unoccupied to go get something to eat. Ms. Jennings was a tall woman, well, taller than me but nothing on Rosalie. She had long dirty blonde hair that she always kept in an extremely tight bun and sometimes I think that's why she's so bitter-that and she couldn't get guy to save her life. She was about in her late thirties and average but thought she about ten years younger with the body of a model. She was wearing a gray pencil straight skirt with a white shirt paired with a gray blazer. All one size to small.
I nodded, "Yes it has"
"So, how are you today?" she asked, probably sweet talking me before bringing in the bad news.
"Um, I'm fine" I answered her unsure of anything at the moment.
She nodded, "Good, good." She took her pen from behind her ear and started to write on that stupid clipboard I thought was completely useless to have but who am I to say anything when I always carry around my sketchbook-that happens to be on the table next to me.
"So, getting to the point here. It's been brought to my attention that after two years, you are still alive and right in front of me." state the obvious why don't you. "It's also been brought to my attention that-" There was a knock at the door that-thank god-interrupted her.
"Come in" I called as Carlisle walked in with Edward and Jasper right behind him.
Edward and Jasper came in and sat on the couch while Carlisle was checking my vitals and writing on his non-stupid clipboard.
Ms. Jennings seemed frozen as she looked at my father and my brothers. I almost laughed at the expression that Edward had.
"Sus pensamientos tan horrible?"(Her thoughts that horrible?) I whispered to low for Ms. Jennings to hear.
"No tienes ni idea." (You have no idea) Edward replied.
Edward's voice seemed to snap Ms. Jennings out of her daze. She adjusted herself before going back to her stupid clipboard.
"As I was saying, it has also been brought to my attention that you are in need of a home." huh?
EPOV
"As I was saying, it has also been brought to my attention that you are in need of a home." huh?
Thank goodness I wore my good bra today. That doctor is gorgeous and those boys. If you can call them that. I shuddered at this woman's thoughts. They were worse than half the female population at school.
I looked over at Lily who was confused and slightly angry. "It has, has it?" I swear this woman! She is so, so...ugh! Her thoughts towards the woman weren't as pleasant as I thought they would.
Oh now her attitude shows, stinking brat. And now I know why.
"Yes, it has. Now since you've technically been taken out of the system due to your two year absence, I have already put you back in the system as of last night and once you've been release from here I will take you back to the girls home." That should be punishment enough before I put her in another foster home. This woman was starting to get on my nerves, how did Lily put up with her for so long?
"Si me dijo que estaba bien, ¿podría lastimarla?" (If I said it was okay, could you injure her?) Lily spoke slightly louder than she did earlier.
I chuckled softly, "Lamentablemente no hay. ¿Cómo poner para arriba con ella durante tanto tiempo?" (Unfortunately no. How did you put up with her for so long?)
"Con gran dificultad." (with great difficulty) She giggled quietly.
Ms. Jennings seemed oblivious to our exchange but kept staring at Carlisle who was quietly filling out some paperwork for Lily. Yum, yum. So handsome, I wonder...damn, married. Oh well, I'll just make the best of this and maybe he'll ditch the other girl. As if this woman had anything on Esme.
"Um, if I may...?"
"Sarah Jennings"
"If I may, Ms. Jennings, I was wondering if it were possible for me and my wife to adopt Liliana here. " Carlisle said as politely as possible while hiding his disgust for this woman.
So handsome-wait? What? "Excuse me?"
"I would like to adopt Liliana." Carlisle repeated to the woman. Are her thoughts as vile as her expression?
I nodded slightly so that she wouldn't see. I could feel vibrations of anger coming from Jasper and I looked over to see his hands clenched into fists and his lips smashed into a thin line.
"Jasper calm down, your starting to project again." I told him so quietly, only he could hear.
Sorry it's just the amount of hatred and disgust coming off this woman is all towards Lily. It's as if she completely loathes her. He thought.
To be honest, it was true. Her thoughts weren't any better. She really just wanted Lily to suffer a horrible childhood just because every foster home was one step away from adopting. What Carlisle brought up was what she always feared for Lily. The fun part about this whole thing is, she had more witnesses than she would like, including Lily herself.
"You want to adopt her?" She said not hiding the disgust in her voice this time.
"Yes, Me and my wife want to adopt her" Carlisle's voice held a hint of annoyance towards the woman but of course her being the stuck up person she is, didn't pick up on that.
She started to shuffle in her seat and Lily giggled so quietly I hardly picked up on it. "Let me get this straight, you want to adopt her?"
He nodded. "Yes, I would love to adopt this girl right here," He said it as if he was talking to a five year old.
Well, I'll just have to change his mind, now won't I? "You sure you don't want another girl, a younger one perhaps?" She tried to negotiate but what she doesn't know is that Carlisle already filled out the forms earlier.
"No, I'm absolutely positive I want to adopt Liliana" He said in full annoyance.
"Jasper, now would be nice before Carlisle bites her head off" I whispered to him.
He sighed, but that would be so fun to see!
"You have no idea how fun it would be, but it would traumatize Lily big time." I told him quietly.
Fine, he pouted before he put his full attention on the devil of a woman in front of him.
"Is there a problem with me wanting to adopt Liliana here?" Carlisle asked so calm it was scary and I mean scary for Carlisle way and that's pretty scary.
Her eyes widened then her expression took one of exasperation, "No, I don't have a problem with it at all" Her eyes widened at what she just said then sighed knowing she couldn't do anything to stop it, "Let me just get you those forms"
"No problem, I have them here, filled out and everything" Carlisle handed her the forms as she flipped open the folder underneath her clipboard.
"Oh, okay then." She placed the forms in her folder and stood up "That'll be all here today, goodbye Liliana"
With that, she walked out the door and Lily started laughing.
LPOV
With that, she walked out the door and Lily started laughing.
I don't know why but once Ms. Jennings left, I started laughing. I want to say it was the expressions on my brothers and dad's faces but that was only part of the reason, I believe the other reason was not only the medication but the fact that was last time I would ever see that dreadful woman again.
"Lily?" I heard Carlisle ask apparently puzzled at my sudden laughter.
It took about a minute before I sobered up but once I did I saw Carlisle sitting at the foot of the bed with Edward and Jasper standing behind him. All wearing matching expressions of concern.
"Sorry, it's just, that's the last time I'll see that psicópata of a woman. I guess it just hit me all weird with the meds." I told them. "Thanks you guys and Dad, you must have a lot and I mean a lot of patience"
He chuckled and took me in his arms, "You have no idea how hard it was not to snap right then and there."
I tightened my hold on him and sighed, "Thank you for everything"
He squeezed me gently, "Your very welcome Lily"
For once in my life, I felt that things were starting to look brighter for me.
