The last time I tried it was a fail so fingers crossed.

Pay Back

"Finally disease Free." I almost sang to Charlotte as I was walking from our car to the school parking lot, it wasn't raining and it wasn't cold it was just over cast. I had just left Charlotte when I was tapped on the shoulder. I spun around to see Edward, he was smiling at me with an apologetic grin and said, "I'm sorry you got sick...It's all my fault I really shouldn't have brought you out in the rain like that... sorry!" I smiled and said, "It's all right I'm human I would've got to sick some time or other." He smiled at me and then began to walk with me, as we were drawing closer to the school he turned to me and said, " Bella doesn't hate you, just so you know, In fact she thinks your really nice as so do we all. The whole argument you two had was just her overreacting, she's very protective of us, especially of Luke. He's been alone for so long that she had to see if you were good enough for him."

"Really, and did I pass the test?"

Edward smiled widely and said, "With flying colors!" I smiled back. We were then joined by Luke who took my hand and kissed it I smiled sweetly and said, " I love it when you do that." He smiled at me and kissed my hand again. I blushed and he grinned, "I'm glad that you're feeling better Lily! I have a surprise for you! "

"A surprise? What's the occasion ?" confusion coating tone

"You getting well is the occasion! I want to do something nice."

"Ok, sounds good...I guess." Luke and Edward smiled at each other in a way that made me feel like I was missing something... again! Seriously what's with all of the inside jokes! We then entered school and proceeded with our day.

First hour was boring just history, the hour flew by pretty quickly, once the bell rang I dashed out and met Luke in the hall, he smiled then took my books, he carried them for me like a gentlemen to our English class. I wish that we had more classes together, as we sat down I received many comments on how well I looked and how they wished for me to feel even better than I already did! I really didn't know that so many people worried about me when I was sick, It sort of shocked me a little, it's not even like I was dying or anything. After class was over Luke escorted me to lunch, we then went to go sit by Edward, Bella, and Alice. I will try to trade in between my table and his table so that my friends wouldn't feel like I'm ditching them, plus being the only one eating at a table full of people gets awkward after a while. Edward was sitting next to Bella as he told her, "Bella, did you know that Luke has a surprise for Lily?" Bella made a face of disgust and then made a sly smile towards Edward, Edward then turned to me and continued, "Bella doesn't like surprises, in fact she sort of hates them."

I smiled and said, "Well at least now we have something in common." Luke turned to me and asked, "You don't like surprises?"

"Well I don't like being surprised! Usually when I get surprised bad things happen."

"What sort of bad things?" Asked Luke bemused.

"Well there was the swim suit surprise, the zoo fiasco, the life guard surprise, and don't forget to mention the Mr. Bonkers incident!"

"Mr. Bonkers Incident?" asked Bella

"Uh...surprise clown visit, ended badly for the clown never want to think about it again!"

Everyone burst out into laughter as Edward said, "Well Luke that's it no clowns!" He laughed and looked at me his face full of joy, I blushed and smiled back .

When lunch ended Luke walked me to class holding my books again, I caught a couple glimpses at his face, he wore an adoring smile that made me melt a little inside he was so gorgeous and amazing that I just blushed at the thought of him actually loving me. It didn't make sense but I really didn't care, I'll just enjoy it while it lasts. As we got to the door of my next class Luke handed me my books and said, "I wish I could stay... I've always wanted to see you play volleyball." He smiled sweetly then brushed his hand along my left cheek he then gently grabbed my face with both hands and kissed me on the forehead, it made my knees buckle a little but I remained standing, when he pulled away he said in a whisper, "I love you." I smiled at him and said, "I love you too. Have fun in biology."

He nodded and with a last longing glance left.

Gym was... interesting we played a Co Ed game of volleyball, I was just picked to play left side hitter when I heard my name being called from behind me, it was Eric. He was on the other team playing setter; he came by the net to me and said, "Hey Lily haven't seen you around lately, what's up?"

"Nothing much really, just got back from being sick and all."

"Oh yeah right...So how are things going with Cullen?" He said more as an accusation than a question.

"Excuse me?" I asked a little annoyed.

"Well I'm just saying you two look pretty dang close...In more ways then one, I mean I should have expected it."

"Expected What?"

"Expected you to sleep with him."

This struck me like lightening, and like lightening I could feel the heat beginning to rise inside me, "What on earth made you think that we're even dating? Let alone that I was sleeping with him?" I asked still trying to cover up my outrage as much as I could, but to no avail I ended up shouting the question at him...Oops! He just looked at me and said, "You mean you haven't?"

My eyes popped open in surprise at his question so I yelled, "Of course I haven't you nimrod! I'm not that kind of girl! How could you even think that? I thought we were friends! How dare you! You ...You Jerk!" With that I turned around and left to cross the side of the gym were my team was, I was so pissed, I mean I was seriously pissed, how dare he even think of something like that! How could he possibly think that? I'm not some random slut that just prances around sleeping with anything that walks! I'm a virgin, I don't flirt and I don't wear revealing clothing so how? Ugh Eric is going to wish that he never had said those words to me! I'll make sure of it! Eric Newton has fully unleashed the fury of Lily, and once it's been released there's no turning back until he is either bleeding or crying! I hate my temper it's awful what I do when I'm absolutely furious, I always regret it later. Good thing my temper only lasts a short period of time, but even only a few minutes of my anger I could have said multiple hurtful things, or had hurt someone else in some other way. I don't lose my temper often only when something or someone really pisses me off, and boy did Eric piss me off.

The game began and once the ball was in the air I quickly sprang into the air and spiked the ball right to Eric's face, and might I say a direct hit! Oh and that wasn't the end of it, every time I had the opportunity I would hit the ball Eric's way hoping to hit any body part that I could, when the game was over Eric had to go to the Nurses office he was so banged up. I couldn't help but feel that awful twang of guilt but then I remembered, he called me a slut therefore needed a good beating. I'll apologize when he apologizes.

Once gym was over I left to the changing room and flew out of there at the speed of light, I couldn't wait to see Luke and to just be comforted, what Eric said really hurt me and I needed someone to talk to.

I met Luke out in the hallway he was leaning against the wall with his hands clinched and his jaw tightened when he saw me he came towards me with a swiftness that made me think that something had gone wrong, then he put his hand to my cheek and asked in a tense voice, "Where's Newton!"

I looked up and said with a shrug, "He's at the Nurses office..."

He looked a little confused and asked, "What happened?"

"Let's just say Eric said a few unpleasant things to me and I made him pay for them..." Luke looked astonished asked, "How exactly did you make him pay for it?"

"I um... Pummeled him with a volleyball multiple times."

Luke looked at me again with a smile spreading across his face and said, "Wow, and here I was thinking that I was going to have to beat him up for your honor. Wow Lily you sure are something that's for sure!"

"Luke honestly, I wouldn't mind if you did decide to beat him up, he's no friend of mine at least not anymore!"

Luke looked at me with some humor and asked, "What exactly did the poor guy do to deserve such a punishment?"

"He asked me if I slept with you...and when I said 'no' he looked all surprised as if I'm the kind of girl that would do something like that! I couldn't believe that he thought that I was a...a slut... that I would just go off with any guy I met!" I could feel the tears coming they were welling up in my eyes, I then felt Luke's cold touch on my face catching the few tears that had started to fall from my cheek, he then wrapped his arms around me concealing me and a tight hug and said, "He's a dead man! Anyone that makes you cry deserves every pain and suffering that is humanly possible!" I leaned against his chest for a few minutes until the tears had finally stopped, I looked up at him, his eyes were furious yet loving as he looked at me I stroked his face and said, "You know if we don't hurry we'll be late for class." He smiled at me and said, "It would be faster for you to get there if I carried you."

I sighed and said, "I bet it would be but-" That was all I could say Luke had me up in his arms as he gently sprinted to my Spanish class, there was no one in the hallway so it was completely safe but I couldn't get over the fact of how fast we were going, I know he's a vampire and everything but I could honestly say that I wasn't expecting super speed to be one of the super powers of vampires, strength and beauty I get, but wow he was fast! We were at my Spanish class in what felt like a second, he set me down gently and said, "Here you are safe and sound! I'll see you after class."

I looked up at him and said, "If you find Eric please don't kill him... just beat him till he's unconscious." He smiled at me kissed my forehead and said, "I'll see you after class." He then turned and proceeded to walk in the other direction. Spanish class went by in a blur all I could think about was Luke and if he actually took my advice about not killing Eric. I hope he doesn't kill him even if he is a sleazy slim ball, that deserves another volleyball in the face, that's for sure. Once the bell rang I was soon back in the hallway ready to see Luke, his hair was slightly ruffled he took my books with one hand and took my hand in the other and kissed it gently , I smiled at him and said, "I missed you." He smiled back widely and said, "I missed you more!" It was so cheesy, but come on it was so cute! I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach. We walked together to my locker then to the parking lot in silence until I saw Eric, he was more black and blue then than the last time I saw him. I stared at Luke and asked, "You really did beat him up didn't you?" He looked down and said, "I didn't do it alone... I had some help from Edward and Jasper...Emmett would've come but he couldn't get out of class." I stared at him for a second with my mouth completely open he continued by saying, "Anyone that makes you cry has to answer to me! I just want to make sure Newton got the message. No one makes my Lily cry!" I looked at him in admiration no one has ever done something like that for me! It was wrong of them to do that even if their intentions were good, but no matter how bad he hurt Eric I didn't care because he called me His Lily! I looked at him and said, " So I'm your Lily?" He looked at me with what might have been a blush and said, "Oh um... Sorry!"

"Don't be Luke...I'm your Lily as long as your My Luke." I said with a shy smile but as I looked up at him his eyes smoldered, he pulled me into a sudden but passionate embrace he began to stroke my hair and said, "Always! I will always be yours!" I drew him into me and said, "Good!" He drew me in even closer and he kept stroking my hair he whispered in my ear, "Have I told you that I love you?"

I smiled sweetly and replied, "You may have mentioned it... once or twice." He chuckled, sighed and said, "I really wish that I didn't have to go-"

"Then don't." I said as sweetly as I possibly could. His eyes looked once again pained and torn, and said while crushing me closer to him, "I wish that I could !" He then kissed my hair and continued with, "But I have to take my siblings home... I'll see you tonight though for your surprise!" He said with a great big grin on his face. I groaned then he chuckled and kissed my cheek and turned to leave.
