Ch. 7. Meeting the Cullen's.

Lissy's POV…

School passed quickly after Warren and Jasper met. They got along well, talking about music and motorcycles. Warren got himself a Ducati 1098 R Bayliss for his sixteenth birthday. And I knew that Jasper had several of his own. He'd taken me for a ride on the newest one, a Kawasaki Ninja ZX 6R, while I was in Forks. I had saved up enough to get myself a 2010 Saleen Mustang S281. I had been unsure of either it of the Corvette, but Alice said go with the Mustang. So I did, knowing already it wasn't wise to argue with her. Jasper had the locker right next to mine, and Warren shared with me, since his was in another hallway. Will's locker was a few down from Jaspers'.

"You coming home tonight?" Will asked impatiently. I smacked him in the back of the head with my mad science book. He just looked at me, unfazed of course.

"Anyone ever tell you, your rude?" I asked.

"Just you." he shot back, tapping Warren's shoulder.

"I heard you the first time Will, and yes I'll be there around four. I'm going to go to Lissy's first and get my bike." Warren snapped, before Will could speak. The younger boy walked away in a huff.

"Lisa, Esme would like to see you, Alice and Bella as well. Warren can meet us there, if he wants. Can you come over for a bit?" Jasper asked, as we headed out the doors, to the buses. I glanced at my boyfriend.

'Go Lissy, I'll be there later.' his voice whispered across my mind.

"Sure. We going now?" I asked, once the buses were in the air.

"We have to get my bike. I parked it at the bus stop."

"Oh. Cool." I was excited, I love motorcycles. Warren was teaching me to drive his. We got off at the same stop, which was the one closest to the Paper Lantern. Jasper's bike was parked in the restaurants parking lot. The black and blue bike gleamed in the sunlight.

"Your favorite, rode it all the way here from Forks." he said, handing me the helmet. I watched fascinated as he swung himself into the seat and kick started the bike, causing it to roar. Made me horny as fuck, whenever Warren did exactly that. Something about motorcycles got me worked up. Shaking my head, I put the helmet on and climbed on behind Jasper. The bike wasn't really meant for two, but I didn't care. As soon as he was sure I was secure, he revved the engine and the bike took off like a shot.

The house was huge, and white like the Forks one. It was also surrounded by woods, but I'd expected that. He'd pulled round the house and into the garage. Rosalie was working on Emmett's jeep, only her legs stuck out from under the massive vehicle.

"Where's Esme?" Jasper asked, once Rosalie came out from under the jeep.

"In her study, going over blueprints." she didn't acknowledge me at all, which was what I'd expected. She didn't like me, thought I was a danger to her family. The fact that everyone else disagreed didn't sway her, so she remained cold to me. As soon as we made it the kitchen, I was ambushed by a small pixie. Bella stood a ways away, a smile gracing her lips.

"Can't breathe Alice." I gasped. She released me.

"Sorry. I'm just so excited. I saw you were coming, and Warren will be here soon." she was bouncing on her toes.

"She's been like this all day." Bella said, as much to me as to Jasper. The door opened again, and in strode Carlisle. He looked exhausted, though I knew he wasn't.

"Elisabeth." he greeted me last, since I'd ducked behind Bella. He only noticed me when she pulled me from behind her. Even though I thought to late, that he could probably smell me. Super senses and all. "Surprise." I shrugged, stepping into his out stretched arms. I'd also developed a close bond with him, while I'd been in Forks. Having never had a father of my own, I adopted him as the next best thing. He hadn't minded, and during the late nights when I couldn't sleep, I sought him out. He listened while I talked, and held me when I cried.

"Have you seen Esme yet?" he asked, when I stepped away.

"No. I was ambushed by a pixie." I said, shooting a mock dark look in Alice's direction. She just grinned at me.

"Well let's go then, I'm sure she knows you're here by now." I let him guide me out of the kitchen. Leaving Jasper with Alice, who was grilling him about Sky High.

"So how have you been since we saw you last?" Carlisle asked, I was currently ahead of him on the stairs.

"Good. I puttered about, but decided to return to Maxville. I'm a senior in the Hero class at Sky High. And Warren and I have been together, officially now for almost two months. He'll be here later." I finished as we reached the second floor, I saw Esme in the doorway.

"Thought I heard your voice, Lissy." she moved to hug me. My unofficial mother, and that thought caused my eyes to fill.

"Honey, what's wrong." of course Esme noticed. I wiped my eyes with my sleeve. I'd thought of Warren's mom. How she'd been a mother to me all my life.

"It's Warren's mom. She's sick, terminal cancer." it came out before I could stop it. As soon as the words were out, both Carlisle and Esme had their arms around me. I cried, like I had last night. Jasper poked his head in the doorway, probably because of the spike in my emotions. Carlisle shook his head and Jasper retreated.

"Can anything be done for her?" Carlisle asked, ever the doctor.

"Just keep her comfortable." I said sadly. Carlisle just nodded, hugged me again.

"I'm sorry." Esme said, softly.

"It's alright. I've talked to her, and she's ready to go. Warren told me she got sick after I left, and at first she fought it, but it's Pancreatic Cancer. So there was only so much they could do. They ran out of options just a few months ago. Warren says the doctors are amazed she's lasted this long, he thinks she waited for me. Because she didn't want to leave Warren alone." I finished, hiccupping with sobs.

"Where's his father?" Esme asked.

"Who cares." I replied. Thinking of Christian Peace, rotting in solitary.

"He's never been around, he's in jail. Like my rotten no account father. Well till he broke out anyway." I said this for Esme's benefit, Carlisle already knew this. After all I'd have never met the Cullen's if I hadn't been running from daddy dearest.

"Oh." was all she managed to say. Alice appeared in the room with my phone in her hand.

"It's Warren, he needs directions." she said, holding out the device.

"Have Jas give them to him, since he can tell him how to get here from town. I rode with Jasper." I explained, as she shook her head disapprovingly. She hates motorcycles, won't touch one let alone ride it. She turned and bounced out the door, her energy level astounds me.

"He'll be here in forty five minutes."
