Thanks to everybody who is still reading my story!!! I love you guys! =]

Chapter 22 – Planning

BPOV

After getting our small happy reunion hugs, we got inside the house and sat in the living room. I saw on the one seat couch and my family all sat on the large sofa across from me. We were in an awkward silence until my mom said-

"So. Ummm. How are you?"

"I'm good. Considering." I replied a bit too fast. Maybe I should take it slow, everybody's feeling nervous and in shock. My dad the most.

"How did you survive the crash?" My dad blurted out.

"Charlie!" My mom scolded.

"No, it's okay. I should tell you anyways." I said. I need to do this as gently as possible. If I tell them too much it might throw them over the top. "When the crash happened, I was saved by a stranger. He healed me, cared for me for years. But since last year, I was able to get it together and go on my own. I met this man, this wonderful man. I know you would have loved him."

"Loved?" My mom interrupted.

"Let her finish." My dad said, "Go on sweetie."

"But this group of people took him away. I am certain that it was the same stranger who took care of me all these years took him away from me. I know they took him because they want me back."

"If it's money, we can help." My mom said. "Right Charlie? We still have some saved in our bank accounts." She looked at my dad hoping he would help her out.

"It's not money that they want. It's actually someone." I said stopping my mom's ranting.

"Who's this someone?" My dad asked curiously. He put his hands on my mom's shoulders as it comforted her. She put her hands on top of my dad's hands, reassuring him it was okay. That made my dad a bit calmer, because he knew she was here no matter what. Somehow, my mom made everything feel like it was going to be okay.

"It's someone named Edward Mason." I said looking at Elizabeth.

"My English teacher?" Elisabeth asked with shock in her tone.

"Yeah."

"What does he have to do with your boyfriend?!" She had yelled with anger and I could see she felt protective of her teacher.

"I don't know. All I know is they're interested in him. I can't explain why or how."

"No, you are not taking him anywhere!"

"Why are you so protective of Mr. Mason?" I asked, suggesting she had a crush on him.

"I just… I-"

"It's okay to like Mr. Mason. He didn't do anything wrong. I just need to take him out of the grid for a while, so I can figure out why they want him and what he got to do with me. I will never put a human in danger with these types of strangers. You should know that."

Elizabeth took a deep breath. "Okay. How do I help?" She already got the sense I needed her.

I smiled. "All right, here's the plan…"

I know I probably don't deserve it, but please review! I love hearing new ideas or comments from my readers!
