Chapter 19
LPOV
Fudge cakes! I have just been told by Esme that I'm starting school in two weeks! And to think, I was just starting to enjoy my first month as a sixteen year old with my arm cast just being taken off last week. I still have to use Bob because both Carlisle and Seth think my arm wouldn't be able to handle the crutches well. Well, Carlisle saw the potential of my arm and I was so close, but then Seth just had to go and worry about my arm. Darn you Seth!So now, I have a brace on my arm, that I have to wear for a week and a half, and I'm still glued to Bob the chair.
The others started school two weeks ago actually. Only reason I didn't go with them was because I wouldn't have been able to do anything due to the fact that my writing, drawing, and anything hand was a little busy so Carlisle told the administrators that I would start late due to injury but promised I would come in as a strong student. I was hoping to hop to school on crutches to make my life less embarrassing but no, Seth just wouldn't have that, so now I have to start the first two months of school strapped to a wheel chair. Good thing is, Esme said that my schedule is basically the same as Seth's because he transferred here to Forks high to be closer to me. The only thing different about our two schedules are that when Seth has gym 4th period, I have art.
Also I will add that in the time that I'm alone at the house, Leah, Seth's sister, has taken time out of her patrol schedule to come and get to know me. She's actually pretty cool once you get pass her whole, 'My life sucks' wall. Honestly, when I first met her, I didn't know what to think because of her history but I didn't want to pry into her business so I let her tell me on her own time.
I will say, I'm sure going to miss the whole lying around like a lazy person but I have to get moving somehow. This might actually be a good thing. I might actually get the chance to make some friends that don't shy away from me after the first week.
Oh! before I forget! The only other good thing coming out of this, is that I can roll the wheel chair on my own!...
Oh wow, I'm just listening to my thoughts and I seriously need to get out of this house for a bit.
"Are you sure I have to go?" I asked for what seemed like the thousandth time that morning.
"Yes, you have to go back someday and today seems as good as any. Besides, your siblings and Seth will be there to make sure your day goes well." My heart sped at Seth's name. That was the good thing about this, Seth would be there to guide me to class.
Esme adjusted my locket chain before giving me a kiss on the forehead, "you'll do fine. I just know you will do great."
"yes she will" I shivered at his voice. Oh what this boy does to me.
Seth walked over and took the handles in his hands, "Now, we have to be going if we don't want to be late. And we don't want that, now do we?"
I sighed, "No, come on let's get this torture over with."
"Have fun and don't forget to learn something" Esme said as she handed me my oversized 'bag', it's really a purse but Alice says that it's a book bag...Right.
Seth rolled me out of the house were the others waited. Bella, Nessie, Seth, and I rode in the volvo with Edward, while, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper rode with Emmett in his jeep and Jake took his motorcycle.
Bella was in the passenger seat with Edward and I sat in the middle in between Seth and Nessie so I could talk to both of them. Unfortunately, I was to busy trying not to freak out completely to talk to either of them. Seth held my hand trying to calm me while Nessie wouldn't stop talking about how she can't wait for me to meet her one friend that she met at school who wasn't scared of our family.
We pulled into the school and my breathing became uneven. Wow, this is big(small compared to others, but huge to me) and there's so many students. God, help me now!
"Lily, calm down, you'll be fine. Besides I know for a fact everything will turn out okay." Edward said as he grinned his stupid grin.
"Alice?" I asked, thinking how that might be the reason for Alice's extra bounciness and Edward's stupid smirk.
He just continued smirking and tapped his head, "Sort of"
I rolled my eyes and took a deep breathe, "Alright let's get this show on the road."
Seth took my advice and got out of the car to get the chair from the trunk. He rolled it over to the door before helping me into it.
Once I had my bag in my lap, I looked up and froze. It seemed like the entire student body was staring at the new Cullen girl. Oh flip.
"Seth, can you turn me around please?" Seth turned me around to face my family.
I reached in my bag and took out the one thing that will help me calm down besides Seth, who was standing behind me.
"You brought that thing to school?" Jasper said as he tried to suppress his laughter.
I nodded, "Yes, and he has a name you know.(A/N: Take a guess?) And don't diss wolfy, he has feelings too!" (A/N: lol, I just had to)
Emmett burst out laughing at my childness, "Jeez, you act like a scared freshman!"
"Well, I might as well be due to the whole, 'I haven't been to a school in over two years' don't you think?"
"Oh, right. He-he, guess it slipped my mind" Emmett gulped as he took a few steps back before grabbing Rosalie's hand and running off.
Jasper laughed at Emmett before my glare shifted over to him. With a gulp, he took Alice's hand and followed Emmett to the other side of the campus.
I hugged wolfy close to my chest before stuffing him back in my bag behind the the notebook and sketchbook.
"No offense but why did you bring wolfy?" Bella asked as she tried to hold Edward back from trying to murder Jacob as said wolf was making out with Nessie behind the car.
I sighed, "if you must know, I only brought him because I'm really freaked. Before I was kidnapped by Ross-"Dead and he still causes these guys to growl"-My friend Blake and I had this sort of pact of sorts that if I was still living with Mark and Loraine by the time we both start high school, we'd go together so nothing would stand in our way and we would at least know one person." I fixed the skirt Alice put me in, "I mean I know I have you guys, it's just, this seems so weird without him."
Her expression turned into one of understanding, "Oh I see. You have nothing to be afraid of. Blake will always be with you in your heart, no matter where he is. Now, you have his letter, right?"
I nodded, "Yes, it's in my sketchbook with the sketch I need to finish"
She smiled, "Good, then he'll always be with you no matter what"
I smiled, "Thanks Bella, I think that's what I needed to hear. It's just been bugging me this entire time."
"Your welcome, now come on. I believe Seth went to go get your schedule." Huh?
She must have seen my confusion for she answered, "He left just as you finished your explanation to get your stuff."
I nodded and I followed Bella and Edward as we made it to the front of the school.
Seth ran up with a smile on his face, "Here's your schedule, most of it you share with me. As promised, you have 4th period art and I have gym, right before lunch."
"YES! Finally, no more gym!" I cried out in happiness. I've had some horrible experiences with gym class and let me tell you, they always ended the same, with someone calling the nurse from my phone because I had her on speed dial.
Seth chuckled as he rolled me over to our first class. As we walked-well, he walked, I sat-I skimmed over my schedule;
Schedule for Liliana Cullen
1st-English III
2nd-Web design
3rd-Algebra II
4th-Art II
5th-Lunch
6th-US History
7th-Chemistry
8th-Spanish III
Hm, pretty easy schedule. We'll just have to see how it goes.
Kill me. Kill me now and I'll be one happy person. English went fine, I actually met a girl named Alexis. She was very nice and extremely helpful when I found myself lost and my silly wolf boyfriend was just as confused as I was since he has a habit of never paying attention. Web design was fun as well, Seth apparently paid so much attention to this class I figured he had something up his sleeve that had to deal with this class. It was algebra that I wanted to die in.
I'm sat on the second farthest row from the door with Seth in front of me, a nice girl to the left of me, a pretty cute-ain't got nothing on my Seth-guy behind me who won't stop pestering me for something I wasn't paying attention to for the life of me and a from the looks of it, a low-life skank to my right. Her actions proved that she was less then pleasant to the new people such as myself.
Seth had just gotten me situated in my desk before walking over to the wall to put my chair there to sit for the next fifty minutes when a girl who was taller than me-of course I'm still going to be the short one here-by a few inches, dirty blonde hair that was in curls that looked all wrong for her face, makeup that was caked on that closely resembled a clown, and the skimpiest clothes I've seen a girl wear in this town, a severally short blue skirt with a painfully tight fitted green blouse that looked horrible on her, walked over and a small fake smile on her face as she stood next to me.
"So your the new Cullen girl huh?" She asked, her voice sounded like screeching cats, and trust me, I know what that sounds like.
I nodded, "Yep, that's me"
Her grin turned into more of a smirk as she stuck her hand out towards me, "Oh, well then, my name is Olivia Brown"
"Lily Cullen" I shook her hand as I grinned at her. Thank god, I worked on my acting skills when I was younger or I'd be screwed.
"Well, it was nice to meet you Lily" She 'smiled' one last time before taking her seat next to me and I knew I was in for a long year.
It was then and only then that Seth finally walked over to his seat, "So, here is our wonderful algebra class, let's see if Esme and Carlisle's lessons helped." He gave me a sweet chaste kiss before turning around and working on the board problem.
Alright, so if you times 4 by 3 to the power of 2 equals 36 then divided by 9 equals 4..."Ms. Sanders, doesn't the new girl have to introduce herself?" I knew I disliked her for a reason.
The teacher sighed as she looked over to me, "Will you please introduce yourself to the class?"
My cheeks flared, "Uh, is it okay if I introduce myself from my seat?"
She shook her head, "What's the problem with standing?"
Oh god, this is so bad, "I, uh, can't stand on my own"
"What do you mean?" She asked slightly exasperated.
My entire face was probably a bright crimson, "I'm kind of in a wheel chair"
Her eyes widened in realization as the class started laughing, "Oh! So your the new Cullen! My apologies. You may introduce yourself to the class from your seat."
I nodded keeping my head down and trying with all my might to refrain from speaking any spanish, "My name is Liliana Cullen, but you may call me Lily, I'm as y'all put it the 'new Cullen'."
The laughter died down and Ms. Sanders went back to the board problem before any further embarrassment was caused to either of us.
I looked up to see Seth visibly shaking. I lifted my hand and placed it on his shoulder so he could calm down. He stopped shaking at my touch and took my hand in his before giving me a small smile and getting back to work.
That was just third period though, during the passing period to fourth, it seems as though everyone thought it was freakin' foreign to see a girl in a wheel chair. This just made me want to give Seth a bat to the head but I thought better of it.
"Here we are, 4th period art with Ms. Rain. And don't worry about the others, they're not only curious about the new girl but they're totally jealous you have such an attractive boyfriend such as myself." I giggled at Seth's weirdness but I appreciated the care.
"Thanks Seth, I think I needed that laugh." I told him as he kissed my cheek.
"Welcome, now, I'll see you after class" Seth gave me one last hug before walking off in the other direction.
I watched him walk off till he turned down the end of the hallway, before I went into the classroom.
Carefully, I rolled myself over to the teachers desk where she was talking to a girl who seemed to be a little taller-of course-than me by an inch or two, with layered, dark brown hair that came to the middle her back. She wore simple clothing that I knew Alice would freak over, jeans and a t-shirt, something I miss wearing but I don't complain about.
"...I really think you should enter. You and Blake are my most talented students and it would be wonderful if you both were to join." The teacher, Ms. Rain, said to the girl.
"I don't know Ms. Rain. Did Blake say he was going to join?" The girl asked.
Ms. Rain nodded, "Yes, he said he'll join, if you do"
The girl sighed, "Fine, count me in"
"Oh yay! Thank you so much, I'll let the judges know and you two can get started on the pieces you want to present."
The girl nodded before looking over at me, "Who are you? I don't believe I've seen you before."
"Oh! Uh, My name's Lily. I'm new here" I told them.
Ms. Rain grinned, "Oh so your the new Cullen?"
I nodded, can't these people get better names, I mean really.
"Oh, it's so good to meet you! Your father sent over a few of your sketches and let me tell you, they're amazing! Not only in presence but in depth." She gushed.
Huh? Carlisle sent pictures? "Um, sorry but what sketches? If you don't mind me asking."
"Of course not, let me get them," She scooted through some papers before picking up a folder and handing it to me, "here you go."
I opened the folder and looked at it in shock. In the folder were sketches I did when I was extremely bored and needed something to do. There was one of Esme's garden, Edward playing his piano, Alice planning everyone's outfit for the next day, and last but not least, Seth as he lied on my bed asleep as I was working on some work Esme had me do to get ready to school.
Still in shock, I closed the folder and gave it back to her. "I didn't know he gave you these, oh well."
Ms. Rain smiled and handed me a small sketchbook, "Alright Miss. Cullen, here I your class sketchbook, I'll tell what it's for in a minute. Azzy, can you show Lily to her seat?"
The girl, Azzy, nodded with a bright smile, "Sure! Come on, let's go to our table."
I nodded and followed as she lead me to a table where two boys sat. One of the boys had dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes that shined with happiness, his lips adorned a bright smile that was a little lopsided. The second boy had dark brown hair hung in his eyes that were so focused on his sketchbook that I couldn't get a good look of him.
"Alright, so I'm Azzmaria but please call me Azzy and we have here, Mason Daniels," She pointed to the blonde boy who just smiled wider and waved like an idiot. ", and Blake Carson" I froze as she pointed to the dark haired boy next to Mason.
Blake lifted his head at his name and I got a perfect view of his eyes and I knew, this was Blake. My Blake. I knew those brown eyes anywhere. They were the only ones I knew of that had specks of gold and green in them. They were one of my favorite things about him.
He met my eyes and froze as well. He looked like he was about to say something but was interrupted by Ms. Rain talking about what our project for the day was. Funny thing is, the project was something that had to symbolize friendship.
With a sigh, everyone split up and grabbed their supplies to begin their project. I simply reached in my bag and pulled out my sketchbook and flipped to a clean page. I grabbed a pencil from the middle of the table and started on my sketch.
"So Lily, how do like it here so far?" I heard Azzy ask from my left.
I looked up from my drawing, "Um, I like it here so far, thanks"
She smiled, "So how long have you lived with the Cullens?"
"I've lived with them since May" I answered honestly.
"Cool, so what are you what are you doing for the project?" She asked as she put her paintbrush down and looked at my sketch.
I looked down, "Uh, it's a bow. I have two different colored ribbons tied together in a bow. Signifies the tight bond between friends. What are you doing?"
"Wow, that's deep. I'm doing a painting of two friendship rings tied together by a ribbon, sort of like your idea, only tweaked a bit." she explained as she showed me the painting. There was one fully painted silver ring while the rest of the painting was still in pencil. I imagined what it would look like and I had to admit, it was going to look amazing.
I smiled, "It's going to look great once it's finished, I know it is"
"Really?" She asked.
I nodded, "Yep, I have a knack for knowing these things"
Azzy grinned as she looked down before looking back at me like she wanted to ask something.
"what is it?"
She blushed, "uh, I was wondering why your in a wheelchair if you just have a broken leg?"
This seemed to spike the boys interest as they both looked up from their projects and looked at me.
I sighed, "I'm in this chair because about four weeks ago I had my arm cast on and my boyfriend didn't want me using crutches because he thought my arm wasn't strong enough and he persuaded my dad to letting me use the chair till my leg cast came of next month."
She laughed, "So, not really your choice to use the chair huh?"
I shook my head, "Nope, don't get me wrong, Bob is a great chair but I'm starting to not like him at the moment."
"Bob?" Mason asked through his chuckles.
"Yes Bob. I figured if I was going to be using him for awhile, I might as well name him." I told him with a straight face.
Suddenly we burst out laughing at my silliness. Honestly, even I thought it was bad but hey, that's just how I do things.
After we stopped laughing, we continued with our projects. I finished mine, adding a bit of color here and there, before the bell rang so I decided to finish the sketch I've been working on but haven't seemed to finish.
I flipped to the back page and opened the letter from Blake, I skimmed it over and one line seemed to pop out at me more than the rest of it. 'You'll always be my crazy sister. Yeah that's right, your officially now my sister. And hopefully, you'll let me be your brother'. It was true, our bond was just that tight.
I smiled slightly as I folded the letter and placed back in the book and continued on the nearly finished sketch. As I made the final touches, the bell rang. I closed the book and bent down to grab my bag. Once the bag was in my lap, I grabbed my book and placed it in my bag before turning my chair and heading to the door.
"Lily!" I heard Azzy call out from behind me.
I turned around, "Yes?"
She held out her hand that was folded into a fist. "I think you dropped this."
I held out my hand and she opened her fist and the ribbon that was around Wolfy's neck landed in my palm.
"Thank you" I told her as I took the ribbon and stuffed it in my bag.
"Your welcome, see you soon!" She grinned as she walked out of the room.
Just as I was about to turn around, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see Blake standing there holding a crumpled up piece of paper in his hand. I recognized the paper as his letter.
"Where did you find this?" He asked in voice just barely above a whisper.
"How did you get a hold of that?" I asked knowing that I had that letter in my sketchbook.
He shook his head, "That's not important, now, where did you get this?"
"I found at my house back in Portland." I answered honestly.
He shook his head again, "No, your lying. Now where did you find this?"
My gaze softened, "Blake, I found that back in Portland. It's me, Lily."
"No" He said still shaking his head, "Now I know your lying. Just tell me were you got this?"
"Blake, you have to believe me. I found that at my old house from when I lived with Mark and Loraine." I told him as tears started to form but I wouldn't let them fall.
His grip tightened against the paper as he shut his eyes, "No, it can't be you. The Lily I knew disappeared two years ago."
I reached up caressed his arm because he was to tall for me to touch his cheek, "Blake it's me Lily. You know Liliana? You remember?"
He just kept shaking his head while softly chanting 'no'.
I sighed, there was only one way to settle this, I thought it was dorky, but if it worked I would say it a thousand times.
"'Never say you are happy when you are sad, never say you are fine when you are not okay,'" I said softly.
He stopped shaking his head and looked at me dead in the eye, "',never say you feel good when you feel bad,'"
"'And never say you are alone when I'm still alive'." we both said at the same time.
"See Blake, it's still me" I said, tears finally making their way down my cheeks.
Suddenly, I found myself wrapped in his warm arms that I've missed so much in the last two years.
"Oh Blake, I've missed you so much" I told him as he loosened his hold on me.
"Lily, oh Lily. Where'd you go? You just disappeared. I thought it was because of me, then I heard and oh god, I'm just glad your alive." he said as he hugged me one more time before letting me go.
I wiped my tears away and smiled up at him, "What are you doing in a small town such as Forks?"
"Mom" He smiled, "She took a US map, her special pointer pen, and her laptop and circled the map blindfolded before landing on Washington. She then took her laptop and searched for different towns, did the same thing and here we are."
I shook my head, of course. "So your letter was right, you did just pack up and move"
He nodded, "Yep, mom is just that weird"
We laughed before I realized that Seth was probably freaking out that I wasn't in the cafeteria. Oh Seth.
"Hey, uh, can you show me to the cafeteria? My boyfriend is probably freaking out that I haven't met him there yet." I asked him.
"Sure, gives me a chance to meet this boyfriend of yours" He grinned and I giggled.
I rolled over to the door before Blake took the handles and rolled me down the hall to the cafeteria.
Blake rolled me into the cafeteria where Seth was pacing in a circle were my siblings didn't know whether to laugh at him or pace with him.
"Hey guys" I said as Blake rolled me over to them.
Once Seth got sight of me he ran over and took me in his arms, "What took you so long? Alice met me after class that I should meet you here and-"
I placed my finger over his lips, "Seth, I'm fine. I was just talking to Blake here and I lost track of time."
His expression turned puzzled, "Blake? Oh, you mean Carson here?"
Now I was the one confused, "You know Blake?"
"Yeah-"
"Wait, Clearwater is your boyfriend?" I heard Blake ask from behind me.
I looked over at him, "Yes,-"
Seth sat me back in the chair, "What were you doing with my girlfriend, Carson?"
"Well, if you must know, I was having a very interesting conversation with my sister." Blake said putting emphasis on the word 'sister'.
I look over at Alice who is just grinning, "I take it they've met before?"
She nodded, "They met on the first day and they just have yet to get along. Oh and before you get mad at any of us, we had no idea, this was the Blake from your days in Portland."
I nodded knowing I can't be mad at them and I'm not, I'm just happy I have my friend back, frustrated he doesn't get along with my boyfriend, but hey, what's a girl to do.
"Sister? What do you mean, sister? She has no brothers as far as I know of" Seth said, for they were now standing in front of each other.
"Not by blood, by friendship you idiot"
"Oh well excuse me for having a moment"
"Where's Jake?" I asked Nessie as the other kept arguing and the guys were taking bets.
She sighed, "New guy popped this morning and he went to handle it, he'll be back later though. Oh, he also said that Leah is going to meet us at home so we won't be alone."
"Huh?" has Jake finally lost it?
She shrugged, "I don't know, I don't question him anymore"
I nodded before looking at my boys who were still arguing. I sighed, and buried my face in my hands. This is going to be one long lunch.
And it was. They spent a little over twenty minutes arguing before sitting down so they could eat then after they ate, they argued some more. Sad thing is, at that moment, I didn't know it was only going to get worse from there.
Turns out, I have Azzy and Alexis both in my Chemistry class along with Seth and we all sit at the same table. We talked about the randomness things and it was fun. I was glad I got out of the house and came to school. I met some pretty cool people, sure there's Olivia who I just want to take a bat to her head but oh well.
The rest of the day went well. Blake is coming over so he can meet Esme, Seth wasn't to happy, but he will live.
So in the happy volvo was Bella and Edward up front with in between the two sulking guys, Seth because Blake is my friend and I'm taking him to meet Esme and Blake because I'm Seth's girlfriend, not much more for that explanation. Nessie and the others rode in Emmett's jeep.
You don't know how happy I was when we made it to the house. Seth helped me into Bob and Blake followed us in the house.
Just as I made it to the living room, I found myself in the embrace of my favorite vampire.
"Hey Mom" I giggled as she pulled away and looked over at Blake with a confused expression.
"Who is this young man, Lily?" Esme asked as she looked Blake over.
"Mom this is Blake Carson, my best friend and brother at heart." I told her knowing she knew who he was.
She smiled widely, "So this is the Blake I've heard so much about?" I nodded.
"Hello Mrs. Cullen" Blake said politely holding out his hand.
Being the lovable person she is, Esme took Blake's hand and pulled him into a hug, "Oh it's so nice to meet the boy that has befriended my Lily"
Blake pulled out of her loving embrace with a shy smile, "he-he, thanks. It's nice to meet the woman who took in my sister and to know she has a loving family."
Esme smiled, "thank you. You make yourself at home and I'll get started on dinner."
With that, Esme left to the kitchen and we all headed to the living room and started talking and catching up on some things-leaving out the emotional crap we have to deal with later.
Suddenly, the door swung open and I knew who arrived. I think I'll take Leah to a club to find her a guy, maybe that will ease some of her trust and anger issues.
"Ugh! Guys are so stupid!" she let out as she walked into the living room and sat next to me. Yep, I think I'll go ahead with my plan once this leg cast gets off.
"Hey guys aren't all stupid" Emmett defended.
We all looked at him as if he had grown an extra head before shaking our heads and focused back on the problem.
"The new guy?" I asked knowing that, that's what was bothering her. Always is.
She nodded, "I swear if Jacob wasn't training him, he'd be dinner"
"Well, moving on, Leah, this is my friend Blake" I decided to change the subject because if it were to continue on, we'd have some serious explaining to do to Blake.
She looked up and held out her hand, "Leah Clearwater"
He took her hand in his and shook it, "Blake Carson"
Then the unthinkable happened. Blake met Leah's eyes and let's just say, Seth is going to be mad but I get to tell him everything!
"Well, there goes my plan"
There it is! Chapter 19!
