Hello fellow readers! So sorry that I haven't updated. I really got stuck on this chapter. It's more of a filler chapter (and information you will have to reminded in the sequel). After this chapter it is about to get a intense. Hope you enjoy!
Lizzie POV (Phone Call)
"One more time Lizzie!" Emmett demanded.
"I'm tired though. I am mostly human you know." I replied sitting down on the soft inviting grass.
"Your point?"
"My point is that I get tired and that I can't play flag football for forever."
"But, we aren't done playing. And I need to beat you fairly."
"Fairly? I think she won fair and square Emmett." Jasper says smiling at Emmett's glare.
"No! She did not! She keeps using her powers on me so I will lose."
"Technically I'm using Jasper's powers against you."
"Yeah Emmett. Your the one who said you two needed a score keeper."
"I should have asked Rosalie..." Emmett grumbles,"I'm done with you too. But you," - points to me - "we aren't done, this isn't over." And with that he got up and left, as me and Jasper high five.
"Thanks Jasper. I really was getting quite tired."
"Your welcome. Hello Alice." Jasper's eyes lite up as Alice appears at his side.
"Hey you." Alice smiles and leans up for a kiss. Awe they are so cute. After the kiss Alice turned to me. "You need to come with me." And before I could say anything she grabs my hand and rushes me inside.
Once we are where Alice has leads us, I realize we are in the guest room where I have been staying. Before I could ask why she brought me here, she quickly goes to my luggage and pulls out my cell phone.
"It was been peeping non-stop. Sounds like someone is trying to get a hold of you." Alice smiles, what does she know? I hope it isn't Dad.
I took the cell phone her and flipped it open.
40 unread messages.
I scrolled through them, ten was from Leah and the rest was from Ethan.
"So who's Ethan?"
I smile, "This guy..."
Alice squeals which got Nessie's and Esme's attention, and they too enter the room with curious expressions.
"What kind of guy? A boyfriend?" Alice pressed.
"Well we had a few dates but I wouldn't say boyfriend. More of a fling."
"How much do you like him?" Esme asks.
"A lot." I say blushing. Which causes a lot of awes'.
"Have you kissed him yet?"
"What does he look like?"
"Is he a good kisser?"
"Whoa guys, calm down. One question at a time." Then I got an idea. Rather then telling them, I can just show them, now that Nessie's in the room. I held out my hands and told them to hold on. At first they were confused, but then it clicked in. I showed them everything.
"So you told him you were leaving. So why does he keep trying to get a hold of you?" Nessie asks after I was finished.
"I don't know... Maybe I should call him."
"Good idea sweetie. We will leave now some privacy." Esme says getting up. When Nessie and Alice didn't move, she gave them a look. "Girls." Then they got up and followed Esme out.
I punched in the numbers and held the phone up to my ear.
"Hello?" Ethan says when he picks up.
"Hello Ethan. It is me, Lizzie." I say starting to get nervous.
"Lizzie," he sighs in relief. "I'm glad it's you. I have some news to tell you."
"Is that why you have been trying to get a hold of me? Sorry that I didn't reply, I kinda got caught up."
"It's okay. Lizzie I. Damn, I didn't want to do this over the phone but I'm running out of time."
"Running out time?" What is going on?
"Lizzie, when you come back, I won't be there."
"What do you mean?" Okay now I'm worried.
"I'm, I'm moving."
I gasped,"Why? Where? What?"
"To Phoenix, Arizona. My sister is a single mom and she needs help with the kids and things."
"Oh."
"Yeah my mom wants to help her out, and my dad says it is best if we just move there so it is less expensive. I'm excited I guess, my niece and nephew are really great. And I will finally get some sunshine very often." He laughs then gets serious again. "I'm going to miss you though. We weren't really in a relationship, and the distance will hard. What I'm trying to say is that we should just be friends."
He did have a point there, and he shouldn't be tied down in a relationship that isn't realistic. And we weren't really boyfriend and girlfriend in the first place. I sigh.
"Lizzie? You there?"
"Yeah. Sorry." I say as he pulled my out of my thoughts. "I agree though, we should just be friends. It is for the best. Sunshine very often? I'm jealous. I'm trying to get as much sun here in Italy while I can."
"How is your visit with your mom?"
"Good. I think I will be back soon. When are you leaving?"
"Sunday. I'm sorry, I wish I could have given you a better good-bye. I will try to visit when I can." Today is Friday. I won't make it back in time.
"It's okay. At least you got the chance to tell me. If you do visit, you must tell inform me!" I laugh.
"I will." I swear I could hear the smile in his voice.
About after an hour of talking, he says, "I would love to talk longer, but it is getting quite late here. I should get some rest, I got a busy day tomorrow."
"Oh sorry! I forgot that we are in different time zones. Sorry for keeping you up. Same here, have a busy day tomorrow that is."
"Goodnight Lizzie. Call me when you get back to La Push, okay?"
"Goodnight Ethan, have a safe trip. Mmm'kay, I will."
Then the a minute later the line went dead. I sigh. I feel sad but it was the best way. I need some ice cream. I got up and open the door. Alice, Rosalie, Bella, and Nessie all tumble on the floor of the guest room.
"Oaf" They say.
"Where you guys ease-dropping?"
"No." They say as the get off the floor and shift their eyes around.
I narrow my eyes but then smile. "You guys are silly. I should have known."
"Sorry Lizzie, it was Alice's idea." Nessie says to me as she moves onto my side.
Bella caught on and took her place by my left, "Yeah it was all Alice."
"No! It wasn't just my idea! Rosalie and the rest of you, encouraged it! Traders!" Alice says looking betrayed.
"Don't lie Alice." Rosalie says with a straight face.
"Oh, I'm going to get you!" Alice began to look very mad.
Rose, Bella, and Nessie all took the cue to run. Alice of course chased after them.
I stayed in my room and heard some crashing then Esme yelling at them.
I laughed when I went downstairs and saw them cleaning up the mess with Esme glowering over them. Alice stuck out her tongue at the other three when they were done cleaning up.
"You know, I didn't really care that you were listening in." I say as I sat down on the couch between Nessie and Bella.
"We know. We just wanted to piss off Alice." Bella grinned.
"So since you had kind of a sad event, shall I get the ice cream?" Nessie says smiling at me.
"Yes please." I say smiling back. She truly is my mother, it was if she knew.
"It's a mom thing." Bella says to me, I was about to question, but then I saw my hand was slightly resting on her leg.
Nessie came back with the ice cream and two spoons but had a serious look on her face.
"What is it?" Bella and I both asked.
"Aro and his brothers are back."
I didn't her to explain it. I knew what this means. It is time to have a talk with them.
I took a deep breathe a rose from the couch, "Let's do this."
Chapter 7 is complete! Sorry it was short. What will Aro and his brothers say when they hear the proposal? I have all the ideas for Chapter 8 so I will hopefully have it soon. I won't make you wait two weeks again. Probably be up by the weekend. =) I hope you enjoyed it! Please review! Can I make 30 reviews? Please help me for my goal!
xoxo
