I do not own Twilight, Starbucks, or Paramore.

Elizabeth's POV

I woke up next to my dad. I was curled into a ball next to him. Dad woke up momentarily and smiled down at me.

"Daddy I'm really sorry about last night." I said as soon as he looked awake enough to hear me.

Dad looked back at me shocked. "Baby it's okay. You can't control that." Dad pulled me into a hug. "What do you have going on today?"

I thought over my schedule. "I'll have to call Jazz, but I'm pretty sure nothing." I answered.

"I have class today, so do you want me to call someone to stay with you?"

"That's okay. I'll be fine. I'll start breakfast" I said quietly as I made my way downstairs.

I heard footsteps marching around above me while I made coffee and heated up the donuts Dad brought home a couple of days ago.

I picked up my cell phone just as Jasper and Alice walked in. I smiled at them and set my phone back down.

"Hi Liz" Alice called as she kissed my cheek.

"Hey. Jasper do I have anything going on today?" I asked as I turned to grab the donuts out of the microwave.

I set the plate down on the breakfast counter where Alice and Jasper were sitting. I turned and poured three cups of coffee. Two mugs and one to-go cup.

"You have one last photo shoot and interview for Silver Lilacs then everything will be released." Jasper said as he picked up his cup. "But that's it."

I took a seat at the breakfast counter and we talked. Dad ran down and I held out his keys while he grabbed his coffee and donuts. He grabbed them and kissed my forehead.

"Edward would be so lost without you" Alice laughed. I shrugged and finished my juice.

"It's the least I can do for him" I answered. "Well I have to take a shower for the shoot." with that I got up and ran up the stairs.

I grabbed a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, a midnight blue long sleeve waffle-patterned shirt, and pulled my black tailored peacoat. I set the clothes on my bathroom counter and let my Paramore C.D. play. "Born for This" blared through my bathroom.

"Lizzie" Alice's voice called up the stairs. I slid down the railing to her.

"Yeah" I asked.

"Liz someone's at the door for you" Jasper called behind her. I jumped off the railing and walked towards the door. The FedEx man stood at the door with a tall package. I squealed and ran to the door.

I signed his machine and he gave me my package. I squealed again after I had closed the door. I set the package on the ground and ripped it open after grabbing my pocket knife off the bookcase. I slid the guitar out of it's case.

I went online last night and bought the same guitar I had used at the photo shoot. I set it back in it's case and locked up the case.

"Liz I didn't know you played an instrument" Alice said as she and Jasper followed me to the music room.

"Yeah. I play the guitar, piano, and bass. For a while I was learning the flute and violin. I write my own songs. There is a CD of them somewhere in either room." I explained as I walked through the room that held the grand piano, that belonged to my dad, and two or three of my guitars.

"What do you mean either room?" Jasper asked.

"Well this is Dad's room." I said as I hit the button on the elevator that leads to my music room. I stepped in and Alice and Jasper followed me.

I waited until the elevator doors opened to continue. The doors opened revealing my studio. The walls were black with splatter paint in every color. The white molding capped it off. The light hardwood floor gave the room a comfortable feel. "This is my music room" I said as I walked towards the newest guitar holder I had brought out last night. I set the case back on the ground and took the guitar out. I turned and saw Alice and Jasper checking out my recording equipment, many guitars, and various instruments I had scattered around the large room. "You don't seriously think my bedroom, bathroom, and closet take up a whole floor. Even though the loft over there is part of the attic" I said as I pointed to a spiraling metal staircase in the corner of the room.

"Who else knows about this?" Jasper asked.

"Dad, Gramma, and Granpa. I didn't want to project it out to the world." I explained.

"How does nobody know about this room?" Alice asked.

"You can only get to it from the loft or Dad's music room. Emmett and Jazz have been in the loft. I have to take a shower." I said as I walked towards the stairs to the loft. "You can take the elevator back down" I said as I climbed the stairs.

************

I climbed into Jasper's Mercedes and Jasper drove us to the location of the shoot. It was a sunny day and Jasper said they were going to take some pictures inside and some outside. We were going to start inside.

We climbed out of the car and Jasper held the door open for me. I saw Jake, who played my older brother, Seth, who played my best friend and Dad's girlfriend's son, Leah, who played my Dad's girlfriend, Embry, who played one of Leah's sons, Paul, who played Leah's ex-husband, Quil, who played another of Leah's sons, and Jared, who played my dad.

Silver Lilacs was about a girl who sets up her single father with her best friend's mother. Her best friend has feelings for her and his two older brothers are protective of have feelings for her. The story is just about everything she has to go through including her older brother moving away for college. The story is based loosely off a book. I read the book and personally, I don't know what makes this story so special.

"Hi" I call. They all turn to me and the boys get evil smiles on their faces.

"Hi Liz" Leah and Jared call. I wave at them before walking over.

"Elizabeth you need to get changed" Jasper called. Jasper always calls me by my full name when in business mode. Leah walks with me since she still has to get changed.

"Did you hear we're doing three sets. The pool scene, just pictures, then we have to go outside." Leah told me.

"No I didn't hear that." I replied as we stepped behind the curtains.

I had a pair of light blue skinny jeans and a short, purple silk, Asian-style wrap dress shoved in my direction while I heard people discussing what shoes I would wear. I changed into the clothes and stepped out. Lavendar heels were thrust in my direction. I slipped them on and stepped out from behind the curtain.

Jasper was standing with the other managers. I walked towards my co-stars.

"Wow Liz you look awesome." Seth said as I walked up next to him.

"Thanks" I answered.

"Okay for the shoot we're going to use your characters names. So Matilda, John, and Matthew we need a couple of pictures of the family before." the photographer called out. Everyone who wasn't called stepped out of the way.

Jake, Jared, and I stay. "Okay Matilda stand in between your father and brother." We comply silently. The photographer snaps pictures and tells everyone to get in the picture. We stand and let the photographer place us.

Then we are sent to change for the pictures in the pool. The studio set up an area with a pool. I was given the a navy bikini with light purple polka dots. I got the bottoms tied on but I was having trouble with the part the tied behind my back. I was holding it closed and waiting for Leah.

Leah walked out in a few minutes and I waved her over. She graciously tied my bathing suit and we headed over to the pool. The guys were already in the pool splashing each other. Everyone got out and we jumped in a line into the pool, as directed. Then I was told to get out. While I was standing on the side of the pool getting instructions, Seth, Jake, Embry, and Quil grabbed my arms and legs. They started swinging me back and forth while I screamed from shock and begged for them to set me down. Then while holding me over the pool they swung me forward and let go. I splashed into the pool on my back.

"You jerks" I laughed before I went in.

We did more poses and jumps while the cameras kept clicking.

Then we were sent to dry off. Leah's and my hair was blow-dryed while our clothes were picked out and we were asked the questions. Leah, Jared, and Paul only had to pose for a few more before they were allowed to leave.

"Liz you released a statement the other day. Is what you said true?"

"Absolutely. My dad is allowed to go to school to further his education. It's not my place to say he is or not. I love that even though he made a mistake and had me he still has dreams. My one friend, their parents gave up all of their dreams just so that they could stay home with her. She wishes they didn't. I am also very proud of my dad. He has set his goals high and he is reaching them."

"Leah is the a relationship between you and Jared?"

Leah answered no and ranted on about how the press shouldn't worry about that. Though I knew they thought it was their business.

"Liz do you have a significant other?"

"Yes. My family. They are significant and they are not me. Fourteen-year-olds do not need boyfriends or girlfriends. We just need to focus on school and being the best of ourselves that we can be."

"Liz what are your plans for the future?"

"I have a few movies that I'm looking at. I also have plans to model my aunt's new line of clothes. Other than that has not been planned yet."

The reporters asked a few more questions of Leah before they left. Our hair was dry and our clothes were given to us.

I slipped into the black corset dress the ended a few inches below my knees. I tied the straps behing my neck. We headed out to the field scene that was set out. We were told we were doing individuals first. Leah went first. She did different poses then they told her to act natural.

Then I was called up. They had me lay on the grass and had my hair fan out around my head. They took pictures above me then either side. I did a few more poses then they said I could do whatever I wanted. I sat down on my knees and picked a dandelion from the grass. Then they told me to stay on my knees and they were going to take pictures looking up at me. I did as I was told. I then stood up twirled around the field. Then I stood still and let the chilly wind blow my hair around.

Everyone else did their singles then we were asked to take a few more cast pictures. Then Leah, Paul, and Jared left.

We were escorted back inside and they had set up a bunch of sand on the ground in front of the wall that was all glass. The noon sun shone down brightly.

It was just the boys and I now. When I was looking out the window Jake came up behind me and picked me up bridal style.

"Jake I'm in a dress" I screeched as my hands flew to my skirt.

"The photographer said to act normal with you. So it's time to play Capture the Liz" Jake called out.

"Jake you're on my team" Quil called out. Jake started running and I held my skirt with one hand and Jake's neck with the other.

Quil grabbed me when Jake got tired of carrying me and keeping me away from Embry and Seth.

Suddenly, Quil was falling and I was airborne. Embry caught and started running the opposite direction. I was holding my skirt down still. Then I was handed to Seth who threw my over his should and held my skirt down for me. This was the position when Seth let me down. The game ended when I got away from who ever was carrying me. Seth was rushed by Jake and he let me down. I slid off Seth's side and ran to the side to watch Seth get dog piled by Quil, Jake, and Embry.

I waved at the camera while the boys thought I was buried underneath them. The boys eventually let Seth up to find me not there. After that we did random poses until we were told we could go.

I got back into my own clothes. I did the buckles on my knee length boots and buttoned up my coat. I stepped out and met Jasper.

"Where do want to go?" Jasper asked.

"Ally should be done with her meeting by now." Jasper's eyes lit up at the mention of Alice. "I really want Starbucks hot chocolate though. Then I'm just gonna walk in the park. So go meet your pixie and take her to lunch." I laughed as I pushed Jasper. He kissed the top of my head and ran to his car.

I stepped out of the studio and walked down to Starbucks. I got a hot chocolate and then proceeded to walk to a park. I walked through the gates of the park and found a familiar trail. (AN: Sorry I don't live in New York so I don't know what park Liz would be at.)

I sipped my cocoa while I walked and watched families interact with each other. Suddenly, I was run into by a little boy. This boy looked about seven or eight. He turned and looked at me with wide scared eyes.

I crouched down next to him. "Are you lost?" I asked in a soothing tone.

The boy nodded and looked around. "Honey what's your name?" I asked.

He looked at me as if summarizing the danger of telling me. "My name's Alex" the boy said quietly.

"Alex I'm Liz. I need you to tell me who you're looking for." I said cautiously trying to convey to him that I was here to help. The boy was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. He was also wet. It was too cold for this boy to be okay.

"Sweetie do you know who you're looking for?" I asked again as I started unbuttoning my jacket.

"I'm on tour with my sister and her band." Alex said quietly.

"Okay honey do you or your sister have a cell phone?" I asked as I stood up and slipped my jacket off.

"Hayley has a cell phone. I know the number, but I don't have my cell phone. Hayley took it because I was bad." Alex explained getting more comfortable with me.

"Okay Alex I'm going to help you. I need you to trust me. I'm not going to hurt you, but you can get sick being wet and not properly dressed so if I call your sister and she can't get to you immeadiately I'm going to take you home with me." I spoke soothingly as I slid my jacket on his arms. I took my cell phone out of my pants pocket.

Alex repeated the number to me and I called it.

"Hello" an anxious voice crooned from the other line.

"Hello my name is Elizabeth. I found your brother Alex and I was wondering where you could pick him up." I said getting my speal out.

"You found Alex." the girl said relieved. I heard her call in the background. "Someone found Alex." I heard someone in the background call out, "Who?"

"Who are you?" the girl's voice asked.

"My name is Elizabeth Cullen. Your brother is with me in Freedom Park.(AN: Again I don't live in New York so I had to make up the name of the park because they are not necessarily in the main part of New York City.)Who is this?" I asked.

"My name is Hayley Williams from Paramore. Alex is my brother. We are at our hotel and that is faraway from Freedom Park. Where can we meet you so I can pick him up?" Hayley asked.

"Hayley I am a fourteen year old girl. The only place I can meet you at is this park, my house, or the Starbucks down the street." I said. "I am currently alone my agent and uncle is with my aunt."

"Where is your house?" Hayley asked.

I told her the address and the security code. The least I can give is information while I have her brother. She told me she couldn't make it until later. They were in a press conference. Alex and Hayley talked for a bit while she explained what was going to happen.

I hung up after exchanging all the details.

Alex was now shivering. He was thin enough that I should be able to carry him. I was suddenly glad I put on the heavy shirt.

"Alex your sister is going to pick you up at my house later. So I'm going to carry you to my house." I said as I scooped him up.

I started walking and Alex was curling up to my body trying to stay warm. "You were in the paper. Your Daddy is the bad one." Alex asked quietly.

"My Daddy isn't bad. He is just busy. He loves me and I love him though." I answered just as quietly. I thought for a moment before speaking. "So tell me about your sister." I said happily.

Alex rambled on about how great his sister was while I walked. After about twenty-five minutes we reached my house. I set Alex down for a minute to punch in security code. I walked down to my grandparents to see if they had dry clothes for Alex.

I held his hand while we walked down the street. Alex was telling me about everything he had done on tour with his sister. I knocked on the door. Gramma answered soon after.

"Liz great to see you. Who is this?" Gramma asked worried. She glanced at me.

"Gramma this is Alex. He was lost in Freedom park and I talked to his sister. She is not able to pick him up until later so she told me to bring him home with me. I was wondering if you might have some dry clothes for him to wear while I dry his clothes that he has on now." I explained as I followed Gramma and pulled Alex into the house.

Gramma searched and pulled out one of Emmett's old t-shirts and a pair of my dad's old shorts.

"Thanks Gramma. I need to get him to my house." I said as I kissed her cheek and picked Alex up once again.

I walked down the street to my house. I unlocked the door and Alex followed me in.

I handed him the clothes. "You can change in the bathroom. I can dry your underclothes if you want but I don't have to." I said as I led him to the bathroom. I left him there and I grabbed a blanket and walked to the kitchen. I started some water for hot chocolate for Alex. I stuffed my cool, almost full cup in the microwave as well.

Alex came out in a minute and found me. I patted the blanket on the counter and held my hand out for his clothes. Once he handed them to me I threw them in the dryer and started it.

I found Alex wrapped up in the blanket sitting on the breakfast counter. I grabbed the can of cocoa mix as the microwave clicked off.

I grabbed the cups and mixed Alex some while I sipped my own cup. After handing him the mug I jumped on the counter and we talked for the forty minutes while his clothes dried. I told him about how I loved his sister's band.

When the dryer clicked off I grabbed his clothes and Alex changed again.

"Hey you want to go to the loft?" I asked.

Alex looked at me questioningly. "We have six hours to waste. We can play video games. I have Wii Fit and Rockband." I said as Alex's eyes perked up. I hopped down throwing out my empty cup. I took Alex's empty mug and washed it in the sink.

Alex jumped down and I pulled him on my back while I headed for the music room.

"Alex just start up either game I'm going to change" I called as I slid open the floor panel that revealed my room. I slid down and landed on the staircase.

I walked over to my closet and pulled out my splatter painted black skinny jeans and a black short sleeve sweater. I slid them on and headed back to Alex. He had Wii Fit started up and was playing I laughed and sat back on the couch.

We took turns playing for two hours before my dad showed up from the panel that led to my music room.

"Liz Grandma said you have a surprise for me." he called cautiously. I walked over to him and pulled him up and all the way into the room.

"Dad this is Alex. He is Hayley Williams from Paramore's little brother. I found him in Freedom park. Hayley is going to pick him up in four hours. Alex this is my dad Edward Cullen" I introduced the two.

"Are you sure she knows where he is?" Dad asked.

"Yes. I arranged for her to pick him up after their press conference. We talked for awhile." I explained.

"As long as she knows." Dad said. Alex went back to playing the game. "You actually let someone in through your room. I also heard Alice and Jasper found out about our separate music rooms."

I nodded and then headed back to the couch. Dad sat beside me. We laughed and played video games until Dad said he would order pizza.

After Dad left to answer the door for the pizza Alex started playing the drums for "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" by The Clash. I learned this song on the real guitar so I ran down and grabbed my electric guitar that was hooked up to my blue pocket amp and dashed back up the stairs. I strapped the guitar over my shoulder and played along. At the end we heard clapping and Alex and I turned to see my Dad and all of Paramore. My smile increased if that was possible.

"You're an awesome guitar player" Josh said as I turned around.

"Thanks" I said. I saw Alex get up and run to Hayley. She dropped to her knees and checked him out. Dad was holding four pizza boxes. I smiled and pulled the top box from him and set it on the coffee table. Dad walked up behind me. Paramore just stood awkwardly by the elevator.

"Well don't just stand there. Eat." I said as I grabbed a slice. The band walked over and everyone started eating.

There is Chapter Three. Sorry it took me so long. I had ideas I just didn't know how to get them out.
