Ok, so I no it's been like... forever since I updated ANY of my stories but my life is kind of hectic right now with schooling and volunteer work and looking for a casual job. So, my updates will be really slow for a while. (That goes for 'The Totally unexpected" as well)

I hope you enjoyed the last chapter and thank you for the few reviews you left. =)

Hope you like this chapter.

OH! By the way, I made a post on the forums for a beta but I think I'll skip on it now seeming my updates will be slow. But thanks to those who offered anyway!

A Forbidden Love

Chapter two: Confusion and Fun

Date: Wednesday February 23rd

CPOV (Connor POV)

My morning classes were rather boring, like usual. But today was a little bit different, normally Alicia completely ignored me and acted as if I wasn't even there... today she actually smiled at me.

Maybe me listening to her request about leaving her alone and me actually listening was working. I was trying to give her what she wanted in hopes that it would get to her and make her miss me.

When the bell rang signalling that class was over and it was time for lunch, I packed up my books and made my way over to where Alicia was standing with her friend Cara.

"Hi Alicia" I said, interrupting their fits of giggles.

Looking over at me she smiled and said "Hey Connor"

"Hi Connor" Cara said, winking at me "Ill leave you two to it" She hugged Alicia then quickly walked away, sparing one last glance at Alicia she gave her a nod of her head.

"So, how have you been?" I asked nervously. I felt a little strange talking to her now after everything that had happened, and I still wasn't sure if I was taking her smiles the right way or not.

"I have been good" She nodded, looking almost as nervous as me "Oh, there's Harley"

I looked over my shoulder to see Harley leaning against the frame of the door. He gave me an odd look then motioned for Alicia to go over to him.

"Well, I better go" She said, then she started to walk away, but stopped and turned back around to face me "You know, I meant what I said in the message the other night. I dont really want to speak to you anymore"

Frowning I replied "But... I saw you smile at me"

"That wasn't a sign for you to come over and talk to me. I was just being nice" She shrugged, then turned away from me and walked straight into Harley's arms.

Dumbfounded and broken hearted once more I stood there looking like a complete idiot.

OPOV (Olivia's POV)

"Samara!" I yelled, running through the school gates. Samara looked over her shoulder at me and smiled "I spoke to my mom about this weekend" I told her "She was cool with me and Liz staying at yours Saturday night"

"Great" She beamed "Mom's looking forward to helping us doll Lizzy up" She laughed "Oh, by the way I heard something this morning..." She grinned mischievously at me.

"What?" I laughed

"So you no the new guy?"

"Yeah, Shane" I replied

"Well I was talking to Jase and you know how he's friends with Shane now? Right.."

I nodded my head, eager to hear what she had to say.

"Well, he seems to think that Shane has a thing for you"

"A thing?" I asked "Like.. He likes me?" She nodded her head with a big smile on her face. I couldn't help grinning.

"Seriously?"

"Yup" She replied, popping the 'p'.

Just then, the bell rang signalling it was time for class. We both shared one last look before rushing off to English lit, our first class for the day... And guess who we share that class with! Yep, Shane.

We took our usual seats up the back, I made sure that the seat beside me was empty hoping that Shane would sit there like he did on Monday.

Shane walked in just before the teacher, He took the seat next to me like i'd hoped he would but the teacher began the class the second she had placed her things on her desk, so I didn't get the chance to talk to him at all. He did smile at me though before turning his attention back to the teacher.

And, feeling like the giddy teenager I was... I giggled softly and blushed at him. Something I rarely ever did, and Samara was finding it all so amusing.

The teacher droned on and on about only god knows what, I spent half the class daydreaming about Shane. I was defiantly going to fail English this year.

LPOV (Elizabeth's POV)

I had been sitting at the lunch table, staring off in my own world thinking about how wonderful it would be if Liv and Samara were right about how they think Christian felt the same way about me as I do for him when someone sitting beside me made me jump out of my skin.

I made an unnatural squealing noise, something that made me think of a mouse, before I turned to face Christian who had sat next to me.

He chuckled and patted me on the back "Wow, just a tad jumpy today?" he asked, giving me his best smile... which made me sigh all dreamily.

"Yeah" I replied earnestly "I was just thinking about stuff"

"Like what?" he asked, taking a bite out of his ham and cheese sandwich.

Maybe I should tell him, before everyone gets here... Samara and Liv said I should. The worst that could happen would be him telling me he didn't feel the same way, and we would just keep on being friends, right?

"Well... I kind of need to tell you something" I started, he nodded his head watching me carefully "I ahh, well... -"

"Hey Lizzy, Hey Christian" I looked up to see Cindy sitting opposite us, placing her tray on the table.

Christian looked over at her as well and smiled before looking back at me "Go on" He said.

"I uh.. It's nothing" I shrugged.

He frowned at me, but shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating his sandwich.

"So, guys Ben's having a party this weekend and invited me. I want you two to come with me, ya know keep me company and all I'm sure Ben will be too busy with other friends to keep my entertained all night"

"Sure, I'll come" Christian told her "Come Liz, it'll be fun" He nudged me with his elbow and wriggled his eyebrows at me.

I couldn't help but laugh "Nah, I can't. Me and Liv are going over to Samara's for the weekend"

"Oh boo, your no fun" Cindy pouted.

"Sorry" I muttered "besides, I'm not really big on parties. I know those guys and they like their booze. We are too young to be drinking"

Cindy snorted "We are 17! How is that too young. Besides, we wont drink much at all. Maybe one or two"

Cindy was my best friend, but sometimes she acted like a complete douche bag.

"Cin, in she doesn't wanna go, she doesn't wanna go. Just leave it at that" Christian told her.

I smiled at him and whispered a thank you, He just completely saved me from what I knew was coming. A whole lot of nagging and sooking.

BPOV

I had just finished work and was sitting on the couch sipping a nice hot cup of coffee with Edward when the front door opened and three chatty teenagers walked into the house.

Edward smiled at me and rubbed my leg gently then turned his attention to the kids who were now walking into the lounge room.

"You didn't do it?" I heard Olivia say.

"No!" Lizzy replied, exasperated "Stop asking me! Cindy sat down, how could I tell him?"

"Ahh, easy?" She replied "Just say, 'oh hey Christian, I kinda have feelings for you' then he would of said he felt the same way, because I swear he does"

"You two seriously need to get a life" Connor muttered under his breath, taking the reclining couch next to his father.

"LIV! You just said that in front of EVERYONE! I didn't want mom and dad to no" Lizzy screeched.

"Oh pfft, who cares" Olivia said, shrugging her shoulders "hey daddy, hi mom" She smiled, bending over and giving us both a hug.

"Hey darling" I replied, trying hard not to burst out laughing at their bickering about boys "How was school?" I asked.

Lizzy shrugged "Ok I guess"

"I had a great day!" Olivia replied excitedly "There's this new guy at school who is totally gorgeous and Samara was told by Jase who is friends with this new kid that he likes me" Now, any normal teenage girl wouldn't be sitting here telling her parents about the 'hot' kid at school who she clearly likes, and that he 'likes' her.

Edward frowned and grunted, I new it didn't impress him thinking about a teenage boy with one of his baby girls, I on the other hand smiled at her. I was glad she could sit here and tell us these things, at least that way we knew what was going on with her life.

"What's his name?" I asked

"Shane" She replied dreamily.

"Well, Shane better keep his hands to himself if he knows what's good for him" Edward warned. I elbowed him then shook my head at him when he looked over at me questionably.

"What?" He asked "I'm just looking out for her"

"Daddy" Olivia sighed "I can take care of myself, besides Shane's a nice guy. I think you would really like him"

"Well, then maybe you should invite him over for dinner one night?" I suggested, trying to break the tense feeling that had filled the room between Edward and Olivia "That way we can meet him and your father can see what he's like"

That made Olivia smile "Alright, but we are just friends at the moment. For now, anyway."

"Invite him over for Dinner this Friday" Edward said

Olivia nodded her head.

"Aren't you guys going away this weekend?" Connor asked.

"Yes, but we are leaving early Saturday morning, so we will drop you kids off at your Aunty Rose's place on our way out"

"Early?" Lizzy asked "how early is early?"

"8am" Edward replied, I stifled yet another giggle as I looked at both Olivia and Lizzy's shocked faces.

"But, it's the weekend!" Lizzy cried "I don't get up at 8am on a Saturday"

"Yeah" Olivia agreed "I need my beauty sleep.

"Beauty sleep?" Edward laughed "At your age? Your gorgeous sweetheart, you don't need beauty sleep"

"Mommy, mommy, mommy" I heard Kaiden cry "Mommy I'm home I'm home, I missed you did you miss me?" I laughed at my little guy as he launched himself into my arms.

"Yes baby, I did" I hugged him close to me and gave him a kiss on the forehead "Where's your aunty Alice?"

"Aunty Alice is right here" I heard Alice say, sounding breathless "and wow that kids got a lot of energy" She ran into the room with Brenton on her hip and Chris running close behind her.

"What happened?" I asked, standing up so I could give my best friend a hug.

"Oh, nothing" She waved her hand dismissively "He was just excited to see you that as soon as the car was parked in the driveway he was out and running before you could say pop tart" She returned my hug and then placed Brenton on the floor, Chris and Connor disappeared up the stairs closely followed by Liv and Lizzy. "He shouldn't have any energy, I swear both him and brenton ran for a full two hours down at the park playing chasy, just watching them made me tired. Then they had lunch and played some more"

I laughed, the kid did have a lot of energy.

And that's it =) hope it was alright, I'll try update again soon. Leave your comments they will be greatly appreciated.
