Chapter 2: Tutoring
Esme rushed home to prepare herself for her first tutoring session with Carlisle. Esme was very nervous as she had loved Carlisle since she met him. Esme knew that Carlisle would never date her or fall for her but Esme couldn't help her feeling for Carlisle.
At four thirty there was an impatient knock on door "Esme." Carlisle called out Esme swiftly rushed to open her front door to let Carlisle in. "Welcome." Esme said politely and Carlisle entered her house "Umm if you want follow me into the dining room." Esme continued Carlisle followed her into her dining room and placed his bag on the table. "Umm would you like a drink or anything Carlisle?" Esme asked politely to Carlisle who looked up at her "No thanks I just want to get this A so I don't have to do this anymore!" Carlisle said again rather rudely.
Esme sat next to him and opened her neatly written notes for English "So in English we are learning about sacrifice and self sacrifice and we have an essay to write comparing one of own related texts to the play we reading in English which is A Shoehorn Sonata." Esme started to explain "Your related text can be anything a short story, a movie as long as it as something relating to sacrifice it will fit perfectly into the concept for our essay…. For example I have chosen the episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer the episode The Gift because Buffy sacrifices her life for her sister Dawn to stay alive." Esme finished looking at Carlisle "Wow you really are a nerd aren't you?' Carlisle asked disregarding Esme's feelings "W…why do you say that?" Esme asked him back "Well we got the Essay assessment yesterday and you have already written an intro, the body and almost completely finished the conclusion that spells and smells nerd to me." Carlisle finished unaware of how bad he was making Esme feel. "I don't have anything to do so I do my assessments as ask." Esme simply replied.
The pair continued to work in silence until Esme's mother walked in "Out of the kitchen Esme I have to cook to two bloody meals because my special little daughter here doesn't eat meat. Now scram." Esme's mother screeched Esme gestured to Carlisle to again follow her this time to her room. "Sorry about that." Esme said politely Carlisle shook his head and for the first time didn't insult her "You don't eat meat are you a vegetarian?" Carlisle asked Esme slowly nodded and closed her eyes bracing herself for a snide comment to exit his mouth as opened her bedroom door. "It's just that I'm a vegetarian too." Carlisle replied happily before sitting on Esme's desk chair "Why is your mother so angry with at being a vegetarian?" Carlisle asked finding it was real easy talking to Esme than Jessica "Well if really want to know. In my mum's eyes I'm a huge mistake." Esme replied trying not to cry "Why?" asked Carlisle who was now intrigued in Esme "Well let see when my mum was nineteen she fell pregnant with me to her ex boyfriend Felix. The next thing would be that I'm a vegetarian, third would be the I.Q I have and lastly would have to be when I was twelve she had a new boyfriend Charles I didn't like him and one night when I was sleeping he snuck into my bedroom and raped me and I told her what happened and she actually blamed me for getting raped so that is why Esme Anne Platt is the huge mistake in Corin Platt's life." Esme finished trying to stop the tears rolling down her face but couldn't.
Carlisle's eyes soften and he was sad for Esme about what she to go through he got off the chair and wiped her tears away. "I'm so sorry Esme I didn't know." Carlisle said sincerely feeling really bad "I'm so sorry that I tease you and let Jess pick on you I should have gotten to know you better instead of picking on you and making feel upset." Carlisle finished before pulling Esme into a hug. Electric static passed through them as the universe was actually telling them that they belonged together.
At that moment the house phone rang and Corin answered it before hanging up and screeching at Esme "Santiago and I are going out Esme make your own bloody tofu burgers." Before she slammed the door and left her daughter alone once again. Esme sighed "you probably say no but would you like to stay for dinner I make great tofu burgers." Esme asked Carlisle who was looking at all of Esme's amazing pictures "Sure." Carlisle simply said before continuing "But let me help you." Esme smiled and nodded her head and the pair went in the kitchen to cook."
As Esme pulled her sleeves up Carlisle notice little marks on her wrists "Esme what happen there?' he asked innocently finding himself attracted to Esme and feeling like it was his duty to protect her Esme looked at wrist and explained the reason behind the marks on her wrists. "Well I was feeling really dirty and bad about what happened to me and cutting helped the pain go away." Esme confessed looking ashamed. "Don't be sad Esme I actually really like you I just had to get know you." Esme and Carlisle both smiled and both started to cook the burgers.
