A Forbidden Love

A/N I just wanted to do a quick jump back into time here for some people that are struggling to remember the last story "Gone and back again"- Edward left Bella when they were younger, Bella found out she was pregnant with Lizzy but couldn't get hold of Edward to tell him. Alice respected her brother's wishes not to speak about Bella so she was unable to tell him about the pregnancy. No matter how desperately she wanted to. Eventually, Edward moved back to Forks with his fiancé. Tanya. Bella found out and confronted him; she had a bit of a mental breakdown in front of him.

As time went by, Edward and Bella formed their relationship again and Bella forgave Edward. Eventually, Edward left Tanya to be with Bella. The couple came across a few obstacles, including a run in with Jacob, who became a tad obsessed with Bella. And also a night from Tanya and Jacob who had teamed up, broken into their house with the idea of doing some snooping around. Things turned bad when Edward and Bella woke up and found them in their house.

The rest of the story was about Bella and Edward and their life together, getting married, having the twins, birthdays, engagements between friends... Mood swings from Alice ad Bella (lol) and so on.

I could keep going but I'd probably end up re-writing the whole story. But I hope that clears up some of the confusion.

I hope you guys enjoy this next chapter.

Chapter Six: Revelations

Date: Tuesday February 29th

LPOV (Elizabeth's POV)

"Oh, my… God!" no, this was not happening…

"What's wrong?" My mother threw open the door and looked as if she'd just run from the opposite end of the house, a worried expression on her face.

I spun around and pointed to the two hugely massive red and white lumps on my face "Look!" I yelled "They're bigger than an apple!" I tried desperately to hide my tears, but one managed to escape and ran down my cheek.

My mother laughed... she actually laughed. How was this funny? I had two huge pimples on my cheek the size of a baseball and she was laughing! "Oh honey" She sighed, walking over to me she lifted my face so she could get a good look at the hideous pimples that now called my cheek home "A bit of concealer will cover these up nicely" She told me.

I shook my head "I tried that, but then they just look like I have mini mountains on my face"

She laughed. Again.

"Well, apart from some pimple cream and a bit of concealer there isn't much else you can do" She looked at me sympathetically "You need to be quick though, or you'll be late for school"

Once she had left my room I peered back in the mirror at my reflection and sighed, I had to pop them. It was the only way.

And god was it painful.

Not only did they look no better than before, but the area around them was now red. My lucky day.

I applied more make-up than usual, trying to hide the disgusting things, hopefully no one would notice. I then turned and walked to my cupboard and tried to pick out something that Olivia may approve of.

No such luck. I seriously sucked at choosing nice clothes.

"Black jeans… or leggings... erm no a skirt?"

It took me fifteen minutes to decide that I was going to wear a short skirt with the leggings underneath seeing as I couldn't make up my mind.

I then spent an additional half hour trying to choose a top. It was pointless, honestly how on earth did Olivia do it in way less time then it's already taken me.

My room looked like a pig sty. Mainly because I had thrown the contents of my closet on the floor and then proceeded to dig through the massive pile.

I finally found a cute (well, cute by my standards), pink three quarter sleeve, V-neck top that said 'little miss naughty' on it. I had no idea where I had gotten it from.

My small dilemma had caused me to miss breakfast. Again. I thanked god it wasn't chocolate chip pancakes again, and grabbed an apple on my way out the door.

:

When I arrived at school I was promptly tortured with the vision of Cindy and Christian hugging… I had never seen them hug, at least not like that.

I stood still and continued to watch them, unable to move my eyes away from them. Cindy saw me and winked, saying something to Christian she let him go and walked over to me. Christian hadn't seen me and headed towards the school.

"Hey Liz" Cindy smiled at me

I mustered the best smile I could and replied "Hi Cin" I got this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that all my efforts to try and get Christian to fall for me had gone to waste. I felt my heart break, just a little bit.

"Look, this isn't easy for me to say but I uh, I know about your feelings for Christian"

Had I really made it that obvious?

My lack of response made her continue "Christian and I are together, well sort of… See, we hooked up at the party and well here we are. You need to get over him, he's mine"

I must have looked like an idiot because I stared at her, closed my eyes and shook my head, this couldn't be happening. But she was still standing there looking at me with a knowing look when I opened my eyes and I just knew that I was most defiantly not dreaming.

I opened my mouth a few times to deny her accusation but nothing came out. I felt like a complete and utter fool, chasing something that wasn't ever meant to be. I'd ignored my original thoughts about Cindy and Christian and listen to my stupid sister.

Feeling like a fool, I walked past Cindy and then sprinted for my locker.

I would not cry at school. I would not cry at school.

I had to bite my lip to keep my tears at bay. I only needed to make it through the day, and then I could cry all I wanted.

:

Of course, by the time I was seated in the cafeteria, at a different table from my usual I thought I may have escaped having to face either of them. But god was out to punish me today.

Christian saw me and came over, sitting next to me. Too close, I scooted over a bit and started picking at my sandwich, refusing to make eye contact with him.

"Liz?" He nudged my arm, and I scooted further away "What's wrong?" He asked.

I tried my best to act as if I hadn't heard him and took a small bite of my sandwich, chewing slowly.

"Elizabeth"

I kept chewing

"Lizzy please, tell me what's wrong. Did I do something to upset you? Did someone else do something to upset you? Please talk to me"

I sighed and looked up at him, he frowned when he saw my face "Where's Cindy?" I asked

"She got lunch time detention, what's wrong?"

I didn't know if I was about to do the right thing or not, or if I would even have the guts to finish my sentence but I decided to try anyway. At least that way he might actually leave me along to be miserable by myself.

"Christian I…" I couldn't finish the sentence; I mentally scoffed at myself for being such a chicken shit. Christian looked at me expectantly, so I changed the direction of what I was going to say "What happened at Ben's party?" I asked.

"Uh, not much" Well, that was informative

"I meant, between you and Cindy" He averted his gaze suddenly and looked at his fingers That got his attention.

"She kissed me" And there it was, the confirmation I needed to push my tears over the edge, I didn't bother holding them back. At least this way I didn't need to voice my feelings.

"She told me you two are together now"

CPOV (Connor POV)

I didn't understand Chris, I didn't get why he through it was so easy for me to get over Alicia. I mean, sure I was eventually getting there but I was not completely over her. There was still a small part of me that wondered… If I did stop ignoring her and just spoke to her, would things turn out differently? Would we end up together again?

I'd been stupid enough to talk to Chris last night on the phone, asking him for his advice. It was a pointless feat; as I already knew what he would say just get over her, man. There's more fish in the sea bla bla bla.

I was beginning to wonder if he was even my friend. Perhaps, he was just family and nothing more. I'd have to figure that one out soon.

Cara suddenly came to mind. For some reason she made unexpected appearances in my mind, like the other day I was trying to imagine what it would be like to twirl a strand of her reddish brown hair around my finger. God I sound gay…

But seriously, She was almost always constantly there. I do enjoy talking to her, a lot.

"Yo, Connor"

A male voice brought me out of my thoughts; I looked up and saw Harley standing in front of me. I raised and eye brow, we hadn't spoken in months. Not since I found out he slept with my girlfriend. Ex-girlfriend

"Yes?"

"Alicia told me you've be acting like a dick to her" He crossed his arms over his chest; I rolled my eyes at him.

"If you consider me ignoring her being a dick, then sure"

"You should show her some respect you know, if it wasn't for yo-"

"Show some respect?" I laughed bitterly, the students stopped to watch us, including Cara who walked over to stand just behind me; she put her hand on my back. It was comforting "What would you know about respect Harley, you were my best friend and you fu-… screwed my girlfriend, who the hell does that?"

I heard Cara whisper assholes behind me and laughed. Harley looked like a goldfish, standing there opening and closing his mouth. Seemingly wordless.

I decided he wasn't worth my time and walked away.

:

No way! Dirty dancing is much better than the notebook. I mean, just look at Patrick Swazy in that movie, I swear to god, I drool every time I watch it – Cara

I laughed at her text message. We had continued our game of 21 questions; she had asked me what my favourite romance movie was. I'd made it clear that I would never watch a romance movie by choice but if I had to decide then it would have to be the notebook. That was the response I had received from her.

That movie is old! And, if you hadn't noticed Patrick Swazy is old now – Connor

Eww, not an image I wanted in my head. The point is, he is freaking gorgeous in the movie. You can argue with me all night, I won't change my mind – Cara

I could see that I was fighting a losing battle, if my sisters taught me anything, it was to never argue with a woman. They would always win.

Alright, alright I give lol. My turn to ask a question now If you woke up as a male what's the first thing you would do? – Connor

I always win :- ) And, what on earth kind of question is that, Connor? – Cara

A good one – Connor

If you insist, The first thing I would do would be… um, shave my chest? – Cara

I almost rolled off my bed laughing at that "She's a little bit weird, don't you think Crystal?"

The dog just looked at me and blinked "I thought you would agree"

Not all men have hairy chests, you know. But your answer was good for a laugh – Connor

I'm glad you find me amusing. Is it my turn to ask a question now? – Cara

Yes it is your turn. You aren't just amusing by the way, you always seem to make me laugh at the oddest things – Connor

By the time I had hit send, I realised that I wrote it without actually thinking it. But, that was a good thing, right?

Aw, you're sweet! What's the most embarrassing song you know all the words to? – Cara

Oh god.

I'll tell you, so long as you promise not to laugh at me – Connor

I cannot make that promise, sorry. And you have no choice but to answer, game rules remember – Cara

"I should probably just tell her a different song, something less embarrassing" I told Crystal. I was highly aware of how stupid I must sound talking to a dog. I thanked god that mom, dad and the others weren't home yet. "But I can't lie.." I sighed

Just know this first – I only know the words because my sisters and cousin listened to this song about a million times a day for a month – Connor

Stop delaying mister, and spit it out already! – Cara

Barbie girl – Connor

Uh, what? – Cara

You don't know the song? I can sing it to you if you like – Connor

I laughed at myself, as if I'd do that.

LOL no, it's ok. I'm well aware of the song, I just thought you were joking but… You're obviously not so… OH MY GOD! THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD. Just so you know, I have an image of you dancing around your room singing this song into a hair brush. I think I almost peed my pants – Cara

And that, right there is humiliation. That was not something I needed her to imagine, I was manly… and she just popped my manliness.

It's not that funny, and I never danced around my room with a hair brush – Connor

She teased me for the rest of the night. And I found myself wishing I had never told her that.

OPOV (Olivia's POV)

So, I had spoken to Shane on the phone last night briefly about going out tonight, his mom was a bit sceptical about letting him go out on a school night but had eventually agreed. Though she stated she couldn't meet my parents as she had a meeting to go to, my mom had calmed my dad down when he said that it wasn't acceptable and that I wasn't allowed to go out until he met them. I thought he was overreacting way too much, and he was way too over protective.

But I was glad that my mom had calmed him down and he had agreed to let me go on the condition that he would get to meet his mom soon.

I reluctantly agreed though I thought it was stupid because Shane and I were just friends. For now.

"Liv, honey, Shanes here" My mom poked her head in my room and smiled at me "You look gorgeous"

"Thanks, mom" I walked over to her and gave her a quick hug before I left the house, I had put on a pink and white floral dress that went to my knees, put on a black flowy cardigan on and my white pumps.

I sat in the back seat while Shane was in the front with his mom.

And, my god was she pretty. I envied her long, blonde wavy hair.

"Thank you for picking me up, Mrs Hendricks" She smiled at me through the rear-view mirror but didn't bother offering for me to call her by her first name. The brief though that she was a bitch crossed my mind. I instantly pushed that thought out of my mind. She could be just as protective of her son as my dad was with me and Liv.

She pulled up outside the movie cinema "you two have fun and I'll pick you both up in two hours when I've finished my meeting"

"Thanks, Mrs Hendricks" I climbed out of the car and followed Shane up to the counter where he brought our movie tickets to some action movie I didn't even want to see, but gave in because Shane wanted to see it.

Throughout the movie, I concentrated more on the fact that Shane was holding my hand then I did on the movie.

I could only keep thinking that this felt so right. His hand in mine, it was as if they were made to fit that way, it was perfect.

I also had the thought that I'd become some sappy love sick puppy. But I didn't mind.

Once the movie was finished we left the cinema and waited for his mom outside, Shane had brought me a watermelon sorbet ice-cream, one of my favourites.

He also hadn't let go of my hand the entire time.

"How'd you like the movie?" He asked me

I smiled up at him "It was alright"

"You're a terrible liar" He laughed

"Not really" I admitted "I think I just can't lie to you, you're too observant"

He laughed again "I'm sorry you were bored, next time you pick the movie"

My eyes almost popped out of my head with excitement, there was going to be a next time.

"Another date huh?" I wriggled my eyebrows at him

"Oh, so this was a date hm?"

"Well.. I.. er.."

"It's alright Liv" He laughed, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear "This was a date"

:

I was thinking we could go out for dinner this w/e, moms agreed to meet your parents – Shane

I smiled at his text as I lay in bed.

That would be perfect! I just need to ask my parents. What about your dad? Will he be able to come as well? – Liv

Uh, no… I don't see my dad – Shane

I felt a little guilty that I had walked right into forbidden territory, but pushed it away. If he and I were going to end up together, I needed to know as much about him as I possibly could.

Oh, I'm so sorry Shane I didn't know. What happened? – Liv

No worries darlin, he walked out on my mom when I was 3. I've never actually met him before, but my mom did point him out to me once before when we saw him at the shops – Shane

That's so sad! What kind of father walks out on his wife and son? – Liv

Er, actually my parents were never married – Shane

Oh – Liv

That was the best response I could come up with. I was making assumptions that I shouldn't be making. I decide to change the subject.

Where were you born? – Liv

California, though my mom tells me I was conceived in Seattle. I tell ya, that was not something she needed to tell me. My mom can be a bit extravagant sometimes – Shane

I laughed You can say that again – Liv

:- D how about you? – Shane

I was born in Forks, never actually been further then Seattle though - Liv

And so, the night went on just like this, we asked each other every question we could think of.

I found out that Shane's mom had a bit of a tough background and that she used to be very troubled. Apparently his mom was very open about her life.

BPOV

I spent my (very short) lunch break with the girls at a café around the corner from where I worked.

"Samara is growing up way too fast" Rose sighed, she rested her hand on top of her growing belly. I smiled.

"Bound to happen" Alice replied, as she tried to settle Brenton.

"It's the same with Liv and Lizzy" I told her "Did you know that Lizzy actually wears make-up now?"

"I did actually" Rose told me "Liv and Sam gave her a make-over when they stayed last weekend"

"Let me guess" Alice laughed "You helped?"

"Of course I did, If I left those girls to their vices god knows what Lizzy would have looked like when they were done. Plus, I gave her a bit of uh… Advice from past experience"

I raised my eyebrow at her "What experience? You've worn make-up for as long as I can remember"

"I mean, with you"

"Oh yeah, we gave you a make-over once" Alice nodded her head eagerly "If I remember correctly you called us stupid cows"

I had to laugh at that "Yes I remember that, what did you tell her Rose?"

She gave me a bright smile and finished chewing her muffin "I told her that she reminded me of you, told her that story and told her to just be herself, that she's gorgeous just the way she is"

"Thanks, Rose. You have no idea how down she can be about her appearance at times, it's actually kind of depressing and I've had no idea what to say to her"

"How can you? When she is exactly you."

"I wasn't that bad, was I?"

They both nodded their head. Well, damn.

:

My day had been extremely long, but bearable. I was anxious to get home to my family, though when I did get home the house was pretty much empty, except for myself, crystal and Kaiden who I had picked up on my way home.

"Mommy, can I please have some pop tarts"

I glanced down at Kaiden and smiled at him "Of course you can, baby"

Just then Edward walked through the front door, he muttered a 'hi'and walked into our bedroom "Why don't you grab the pop tarts out of the cupboard baby, I just need to talk to daddy real quick"

"Ok mommy"

When I reached our bedroom, I saw Edward sitting on the edge of our bed, staring at the wall. I sat down next to him and took his hand in mine, he didn't move his eyes from the wall but gave my hand a quick squeeze.

"What's wrong?" I asked, after a minute of silence

"I just keep thinking that Liv's way too young to be thinking about boys and I don't like that Shane guy"

"Edward" I laughed "She's a fourteen year old girl who has an interest in a gu-"

"Exactly, fourteen Bella, Fourteen"

"Like I said, you and I were fourteen once."

"And look where that got us" He muttered

I dropped his hand and stood up from the bed. I was pissed off. Majorly pissed off "Are you saying you regret it? Should I have never had Lizzy?"

"What? Bella no, that's not what I meant and you know it"

Putting my hands on my hips I replied "And what exactly did you mean?"

"I just meant that… You and I were so young, baby. We were too involved and fell in love too fast. Not that I would change anything that happened, because my life with you is perfect. I just don't want to see my baby girl get hurt" He stood up and placed his hands on my hips pulling me closer to him.

I sighed and relaxed my head on his chest "You need to let her learn in her own time, Edward. We can't protect her from everything, she needs to live her life and learn the way that will help her best"

"I know your right… I just can't seem to shake this feeling I have about that boy"

:

"Hey Mrs Cullen, Is Olivia here?"

I smiled at Shane and invited him in "Please call me Bella, I'll just go get Liv"

I ran to Liv's room and peered in "Liv, honey, Shanes here" I took in her appearance and my breath almost caught in my throat. She looked so much like Edward. "You look gorgeous" I told her, giving her a smile

She walked over to me and gave me a hug. My babies growing up "Thanks, mom"

I followed her down the stairs and watched as she got into Shane's mothers car, I gave them a wave and then I caught a glimpse of A woman sitting in the front seat who I swore I knew but couldn't figure out from where.

I pushed that thought aside, if it was important I'm sure I would remember.

Yet… Her skinny figure and blonde hair looked so familiar that I couldn't let go of the thought for the rest of the night.

:

A/N

I keep doing that huh? Lol, It'll all be revealed in due time.
