Chapter 11
The drive home consisted of my father yelling and me crying. I was tired of arguing with him. Nothing was going to get through his stupid hard head.
When we got home, I was still crying. I slammed all the doors I walked through and ignored everyone. Alice and my mother tried to talk to me, and I heard my mother discussing this with my stupid dad. I finally got to my room, slamming that door behind me as well and locked it.
Not only had my father ruined our dance, but tomorrow was still the weekend and I wouldn't get to see Josh. I wouldn't be surprised if I never saw Josh again.
Parents are stupid.
No…if my father wasn't a vampire and Josh's father wasn't a werewolf then we wouldn't be having these issues.
Vampires and werewolves are stupid.
Thinking and calling everything stupid didn't help much, but it was the only thing I could do. I ended up sitting in a corner of my room, thinking and crying the whole night. Eventually, I stopped crying and found the strength to get up on my bed and fall asleep.
I couldn't tell what time it was when I woke up. All I knew was that it was sunny outside today. I looked at the clock on my wall and it said 11:05. I wasn't surprised that I had slept in so long. I was planning to sleep longer, but I noticed my phone was vibrating. I got up and decided to see who was calling.
I didn't hesitate to answer.
"Josh?"
"Elizabeth? Oh, thank God. I'm glad you picked up."
"I miss you." I normally didn't miss him this much over a weekend.
"I miss you, too. I wish I could see you today."
"Me too. The only way that would be possible is if we snuck out."
"Well, my dad isn't home right now and my grandfather is still sleeping."
I smiled, the first one I had cracked since the dance.
"I can jump out the window. And I think I know the perfect place to go…"
"Where?"
"It's, uh…in the forest…it requires hiking." If it was just me, it'd be running. But at Josh's human speeds, hiking.
"Cool. How about we meet at the head of the forest trail."
"Sounds like a plan. See you there." I hung up my phone immediately and shoved it into my jeans pocket. I still had my outfit on from the dance, but I didn't have time to change. I opened the window, and jumped out of it. Then, I ran as fast as I could.
When I got to the trail head, I had to wait for awhile. Finally, Josh arrived. When he got to me, he tried to kiss me but I stopped him.
"Not here." I noticed he still had his clothes from yesterday on as well, minus the tie. He frowned when I stopped him, but he knew how risky it was just being here.
"Would you like to hike or get there in less than a minute?" I grinned.
"Less than a minute? How is that possible?"
"Get on my back."
"What? No, I'll hurt you."
"No you won't. Get on my back." He hesitantly got on my back. It was like carrying a feather.
"Okay, close your eyes." I didn't check to see if he did it or not. I just started running. The cool forest air was blowing in my face until I stopped.
"Off you go." He got off and immediately fell down.
"Whoa…that was…amazing." He shook his head when I held out my hand to help him up, and then got up himself. Then, he looked around at our setting.
It was a spacious area of pure, bright green grass, sprinkled with nearly every color of flower thought imaginable. A large pool of clear blue water surrounded by cool gray rocks sat towards the middle.
"I come here to be alone sometimes…so I thought this would be a good place for us to be alone." I walked into the meadow and sat down near a red rose.
"Liz…it's beautiful…" He then walked into the meadow, acting as if he was dreaming and it wasn't real.
"It's peaceful, too. You can sit down, you know." I patted the grass next to me and smiled sweetly.
He sat down gently and looked at me.
"I wish…last night wasn't ruined like it was."
"Me too…but then again, would we be here right now if it wasn't ruined?"
"No, I suppose we wouldn't be." He chuckled softly.
I crawled over so I was sitting in front of him.
"Lie down for me, please." I said this quietly, but he heard me and laid down.
I slid my body over his and put his face in my hands. Slowly, I lowered my head and placed my lips onto his. I could feel one of his hands around my waist and another on my head, pushing us closer together.
Our lips began to open and close over each other's, the kiss steadily becoming more and more passionate as it continued. I had to pull away in order to breathe.
I could tell Josh was disappointed when I pulled away, but he too was gasping for air.
I closed my eyes and fell back, steadily getting air back. I kept my eyes closed and smiled. That felt amazing.
And then I heard a splash. I looked up to see Josh in the pool of water.
"Oh, this feels good." He spoke quietly, but I could still hear him. I noticed his shirt was lying where he used to be sitting.
"I didn't know it was that deep in there." Hm. A swim would be nice right now. Who cares if its autumn? I slowly began to unlace my dress so I could jump in as well.
"Wh-what are you doing, Elizabeth?" He was a bit shocked to see me taking my dress off.
"I'm taking off my dress because I want to go swimming and I don't want it to get ruined. Relax, I have a tank-top and a bra on." I smiled, but he didn't seem convinced.
True to my word, I had a white tank top on and a bra underneath it. I took off my shoes and socks and got into the water. The cool water felt very refreshing.
"I had no clue the water was so deep." My feet touched the bottom, but only my neck and head showed up above the water. I looked around for Josh in the water, but I didn't see him.
"Okay, where are y-" I was pulled underwater.
Of course, Josh had pulled me under. He was smiling playfully, so I pushed him lower in the water, and he pulled me down with him.
Since we needed to breathe, we had to come up for air. I splashed him in return for pulling me under. He splashed me back, and then we continued to splash each other. We were both laughing hysterically at our playful nature.
It was a lot of fun, but our arms got tired eventually, so we had to stop. I leaned back against one of the rocks. It had a smooth, cold surface. Josh approached me and leaned against the rock next to me.
"Elizabeth Cullen, I love you." He took my face in his hands and began to gently kiss me.
"Elizabeth?"
It was not Josh who spoke.
It was Alice.
(DUN DUN DUN. XD Sorry I'm bad at writing kissing scenes. D: I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!)
