Chapter Eight
*Aidan's POV*
"Oh, you are in big trouble," Lily cried out. We had just walked through the front door of our house and I was already being penalized for actions that occurred tonight, which I should point out, were not my fault.
"Why!? Because a girl kissed me!?" I shot back.
"Yes! The wrong girl!" Lily remarked, rubbing her temples. "Aidan, god...What am I going to do with you?"
"Why are you so against Carly having a crush on me all of a sudden? I thought you two were friends," I pointed out furiously. "Anyway, Jen and I aren't dating! So even if I kiss Carly, why is it a big deal? Huh?"
"Because! Jen has feelings for you! Jen is your best friend! That's why," Lily yelled back. "Why is that so hard for you to understand!? Why do you act so stupid when I know the guy inside there is a lot smarter than people give him credit!"
"I don't know! Lily! I don't know!" I snapped, flailing my arms at my sister. "I'm a kid! Cut me some slack! Not everyone's love life is perfect like yours! I'm sorry I can't figure right off the bat that Jen is my mate meanwhile you've known Ethan was yours since day one! There's no flaws in that relationship!"
This got my sister quiet. She crossed her arms over her chest, "We're not perfect, Aidan. Do you know how long it too Ethan and I to get together? Almost an entire year."
"You've been in love with him since we were kids," I retaliated.
Lily bit her lip, "I was crushing on him. I guess I always knew, but I was scared...That's why I dated Austin for a bit."
"And look how that turned out," I remarked.
"What's that supposed to mean!?" She instantly asked, getting defensive.
"That you ended up with Ethan," I pointed out slowly. "That I felt the same as you did. I'm confused! We are going to be six years old. We're not even adults! Carly is not even an adult!"
"True...Okay, you do have a point," Lily muttered. "But...I feel bad. Jen is hurting. I could tell she has feelings for you. Maybe ever since she met you, you two have been so close. Aidan, you helped her through everything the past year. I think she feels betrayed right now. At first, I liked the idea of you dating Carly. In fact, a lot of people do. They think you're going to ask her to prom."
"I never said that," I mumbled. Where did that one come from? Carly and I were only friends. I mean I liked her and maybe I could bring her to prom, but I wasn't feeling it right now. "The only interaction with this girl I've had romantically was an hour ago at Lisa's."
"Look, I'm just saying...Jen is a good person. She's been through hell. I don't know her like you do, but don't put her through anything she doesn't deserve. Maybe this is something you both deserve to try," Lily suggested, placing a hand on my shoulder. "You're best friends, which is what'll make your relationship so beautiful because you love each other no matter what."
"I do love her," I confessed, fiddling with my hands. "I just don't know if it's that eternal love crap the rest of you have gone through. I'm still trying to figure my life out, Lil. I don't understand how you, Masen, and Ness could be planning so much yet we've only been on this earth for like a max six or seven years. We've seen shit, but we don't know as much as we think."
"You're right, but at the same time it's what happens. Look, I have been together with Ethan for a year. I'm not ready to get married just yet," She told me, shrugging. "I love him so much. Love him with every fiber in my being. The love you have for a mate is so intense. Everything about it has been intense. And yes, I'm still young but it's helped me grow. Then Renesmee, she's seven but she's seen enough hell than any of us combined so she's pretty adult meanwhile Masen's trying to figure his future out because of his limited timeline with Grace...Aidan, we're not perfect couples all ready to board the train of being married and having kids. Yes, it's something I want, but it's not something I'm thinking about. In fact, Ethan and I have never talked about it but do I feel like we'll have a future together. Yes. I think we'll be married. I don't know about kids, but it could happen. That's life. If you feel something is right, go for it and just let yourself be happy. And let Carly off easy so she can find someone else. So you two don't become serious when you realize Jen is the love of your life."
"Wow," I responded, listening to my sister's speech. "That was intense."
"Well I know how it is. Look at what happened with Austin," Lily whispered, rubbing her temples. I frowned, sensing she was distressed.
"Something else about Austin is bothering you..."
"Mom found out about what happened last year. She then freaked out in the middle of a store and...I don't know what her problem is. She's worried about Ethan and I...I can tell, and just a lot of things. I don't know why she's angry with me," She confessed to me.
"Maybe there's something else. Mom only wants the best for us. She doesn't like seeing us hurt," I pointed out to my sister. "Just talk to her. It won't kill ya."
"Yeah. It won't, but I don't know. She just freaked out. Maybe she's scared I'm growing up too fast. Maybe that's the reason," Lily said, shrugging. "I did go pretty fast with Ethan, but it's something I know that'll last a life time. That's the beauty about being supernatural. You know who your mate is and that kind of love is eternal. There is no other like it. Once you find it, it's forever."
"I guess it is. So since we have forever though, that should give me time to figure things out," I mentioned to my sister as we both took seats on the couch. "And until then, why don't we just get a group of friends to go to junior prom so no one is asked out etc. I don't want any of this drama as much as you don't want it. No one needs to get hurt."
"Alright," She agreed with me as we settled ourselves on the couch. "So...What do you want to do now?"
"Now?" I questioned, raising my eyebrows. "Isn't it like midnight?"
"Yeah. But I'm not tired," Lily told me, shrugging. "How about a movie? We don't hang out anymore like we use to."
"When we were kids, you, Ness, Masen, Liz and I were just peas in a pod," I reminisced. "I miss those days."
"Me too," Lily agreed. We both smiled bittersweetly at each other before turning the television on.
*Renesmee's POV*
"God, we really stayed up 'til sunrise...Didn't we?" Grace laughed. I nodded, chuckling as I looked at my best friend.
"Guess we did," I replied. The two of us were currently laying on my bedroom floor wrapped up in a thousand blankets.
It was the night after Lisa's party and Grace stayed over for the night. I guess we had a nice girls night together. She hung out with me the whole time instead of my brother for once. Then again, I'm the same with Jake.
Masen's always going over to her house anyway at night time. Elaine doesn't mind it at all. They spend most of their time at Grace's apartment anyway because there aren't vampires who can hear their every move. I think that's where Lily and I struggle the most about having boyfriends who live in the same households. Kind of jealous Masen and Grace get to be a lot more intimate than Jake and I. I'm actually a little jealous of Lily too. They all get to be intimate, yet here I am not even having sex with my boyfriend. Jacob and I have made out. We've done stuff, but we haven't gone as far as sex yet.
"I hope Jen's okay. That kiss Carly and Aidan shared kind of caught me off guard. Not gonna lie," Grace told me, fiddling with a loose blonde curl.
"I think it shocked everyone. I felt really bad for Jen," I said, sighing. "She hasn't left her room all day. Only let Esme and Lizzy in."
"Poor thing," Grace said, feeling nothing but remorse for Jen.
I bit my lip, wanting to revert the conversation. "On a more positive note, we really should start getting things ready for prom. That's in a few weeks and that camping trip."
"Oh right." Grace giggled, "I can't wait to see my dress."
"Me too," I replied, grinning like a fool. "Aunt Alice has been working on them for weeks. She really takes pride in this sort of thing."
"Is Alice really okay with doing this? I don't want to be a bother," Grace mentioned shyly. "I could've bought one at Macey's or something."
"No! Oh my gosh! Are you kidding me? She loves this sort of thing. Ever since I could remember. She's the fashion guru of my family. Best taste. Don't worry. This isn't a bother for her. Gives her something to do," I reassured her, shrugging. "And it's been a real ball for her ever since I was born. She bought all my clothes. She still buys a majority of them."
Grace chuckled, "God. Your family is so great."
"I like to think so." I smiled. "You're family's great too. I'm glad all of our families are connected now."
"Me too," Grace replied, smiling. I watched her smile die a bit though. "I just wish...I hope everything will be all good. I don't want to leave you guys-"
"You won't!" I insisted automatically. I could see the worry in her eyes already. She was so stressed out right now and I felt terrible. This wasn't a time for Grace to be upset. This was supposed to be happy. Instead she was worrying all the time. "You and Masen need to just relax. You are immortal."
"Who knows if I am. We can't truly tell," Grace muttered, rubbing her eyes. "God, I hate waiting. I don't want to wait any longer to find out. You know, Masen is even thinking about being mortal?"
"Yeah...I heard. I don't know what that boy's thinking because it's not going to happen. No one's been able to undo their immortality. I've never seen it," I mentioned. "Neither has my grandfather or any of my family members."
"I just...I can't help but worry," Grace whispered. I sighed, turning on my side to look my friend dead in the eyes.
"No matter what happens, you'll still be my best friend and Masen's mate. Nothing will change that," I told her sternly. "We all love you very much."
"Good," She said, smiling up at me. "I love you guys too."
"Good. Now come on. You want to get some breakfast?" I asked her, smirking.
"Of course," She replied. We both giggled as we made our way downstairs to where my mom was. She was currently flipping pancakes with my father and Lizzy.
"Hey guys," I greeted them, making my way over to the kitchen isle with my friend.
"Morning girls," My mother answered in a chipper tone. "How did you sleep?"
"Not at all," I answered, chuckling with Grace. "Stayed up all night watching movies and talking."
"You two are going to feel it later," My father chimed in, an amused look on his face.
"Probably, but it was worth it," I said, grinning. My parents just chuckled while Lizzy flipped a pancake.
"What did you do last night, dear sister?" I asked Lizzy, who just shrugged.
"Read a bit and hung out with Masen later on. He heard you two giggling and got bored, so I tried to entertain the mush the best way I could. We played some hard core video games where I promptly beat his ass."
"Good girl," I said, giving my sister a pat on the top of her head. "Don't ever let him win."
"Thanks, sis," Masen said sarcastically as he came into the room. "I'm glad to know how you feel."
I just stuck my tongue out at him while he greeted Grace with a kiss on the cheek. "So...How's the family doing this morning?"
"Pretty good," I answered. "Gonna have breakfast now. Care to join?"
"Maybe I will. Kind of in the mood for something to snack on," He said, making his way to the fridge to pour himself a cup of blood substitute. "Anybody else?"
"Nah! I'm good, we're about to have some blood pancakes!" Lizzy exclaimed, pointing to the bowl of mixture. "Ava sent me the recipe the other day. Wanted to try them."
"Me too. I miss pancakes," My mother replied happily like a little kid. My father chuckled as he kissed her forehead.
"I used to love having breakfast with you, well watching you eat your breakfast. None the less, spending time with you in the morning was fantastic," My Dad reminisced. "But this is ten times better."
My mother smiled, reaching up on her tippy toes to plant a kiss on my father's lips. "I think so too," She replied. "Now we can have family meals."
"Thank god for Ava and her genius," I chimed, smiling happily.
Ava, Grace's aunt, introduced us to blood substitute last year. It's something she made as a witch for her husband and daughter, so they could have family dinners. The blood substitute takes like normal blood, but it controls our blood lust and you can add it to food to make it taste less icky. It was quite brilliant since vampires like us want to live amongst humans, it makes blending in ten times easier. Besides the blood substitute Ava even created articles of clothing or jewelry for our vampire family to wear that hides the sparkling. So now many of my parents can go out in daylight without fear that someone will see them. For example, my mom and dad have matching rings with some sort of moonstone.
"Don't worry, Grace. Made you some normal ones as well," My father announced, obviously reading her mind as he set down a plate of fresh pancakes in front of her.
"Oh thank you so much!" Grace said, sitting down next to me at the kitchen isle.
"I tried to make shapes, but obviously they didn't come out quite right," Lizzy explained, pointing them out to Grace. "Momma tried to help me."
"It's okay. I love them. Thank you so much," Grace told my little sister, giving her a quick side hug.
"And here's for you guys," My mother said, placing a few plates of the blood pancakes in front of us. "Tea with lemon for you Renesmee, cup of blood for Lizzy and Masen, and finally coffee for Grace."
"Thanks!" We all exclaimed as we began to dig in. Our parents hung around us, watching with amusement. This made me couldn't wait for the future. Grace would be apart of our family, so that meant more family morning breakfasts with her like this. Grace was the best addition to our family. My parents love her like a daughter, she's my best friend, Lizzy looks up to her, and Masen is obviously in love with her like a puppy. She was truly a member of this family now and it made me so happy.
Just as we were almost finished, the phone rang. My mother picked it up immediately and I saw her face brighten, "Oh good morning, Elaine...How are you?...That's good. I'm good too, thanks for asking. I assume you want to talk to your daughter?...Alright. Take care." My mother smiled before handing the phone to my best friend.
"It's your mother," My mom told her, chuckling. "But I think you already knew that one."
Grace laughed, "Thanks." I watched as my best friend then put the phone up to her ear, "Hello?...Hey Mom! What's up?"
"We're going to head over to Grandma and Grandpa's now. Discussing future plans for a bit," My mother told us quietly while my best friend walked over to the corner to talk to her mom.
"What does that mean?" Lizzy questioned, raising her eyebrows.
"Well, since Masen and Renesmee are moving out for college, we need to see what our next move will be. We will be staying until your mother graduates from college. We also have to wait for the twins and Jen graduate from high school. I know they want to stay until their senior year and it's only fair to let them since this is their first high school graduation. Then again, we also have to think about the others in this family. Abby's growing way too fast. Keeping her here might not be a good idea meanwhile Grandpa can't stay here forever either. People will get suspicious," my dad explained. "Maybe find somewhere nice you and Abby can finish high school together."
"We were thinking, we'd wait with the twins because by then I'll be graduated and from there move somewhere else," My mother said followed by a smirk. "Maybe we'll go to high school with you."
"Oh god," Lizzy groaned, causing my parents to chuckle. I chuckled as well as I watched her face.
"And where would we be going to high school? What do you have in mind exactly?" Lizzy asked curiously.
"We don't know yet. That's what we'll be deciding," My father said. "Now enjoy breakfast. We'll tell you in a bit to get your opinions on it."
"Alrighty." They then left the room, leaving us behind. This allowed me to hear Grace's conversation a little better.
"So...Let me get this straight. Nonna Carolyn is coming here...For my graduation? But that's all she knows is it's my graduation," Grace said slowly. This caught everyone's attention as we all looked towards Grace with wide eyes.
"I don't know if this is going to end well," Masen mentioned to me quietly. "Carolyn has no clue?"
"I don't know?" I shrugged. "She's not my grandma. I don't know how this is going to play out."
"Something tells me not well," Lizzy mentioned, slowly taking a bit of pancake.
"Okay. Thanks. I'll see you later at Aunt Ava's," Grace answered, ready to hang the phone up. "Yeah...Love you too. Okay...Bye." She then places the house phone back in it's place to look at us.
"So?" I asked, pressuring it on. "Your grandmother is coming to New York?"
"Yeah. Coming down from Vermont," Grace mumbled, scratching the back of her head. "I haven't seen my grandmother in a year and my aunt hasn't seen her since she married my uncle. She's a good woman, she's just not going to like the fact I'm friendly with a family of vampires. Especially the fact I'm dating the child of two."
"So your grandmother hates vampires because they killed your grandpa?" Masen clarified.
Grace nodded her head, "Yeah. Back when my aunt was around ten and my mom was eighteen...I don't know. My grandfather had an altercation with some newborn. They were in Italy at the time visiting my grandmother's parents...He was killed right in front of them. I don't know the whole story, but since then she's hated them with a passion. My grandfather's death is the reason she stopped practicing magic...And when Aunt Ava came home with Uncle Zach. Oh boy, did she have a cow...I'm surprised my aunt named Lexie after her parents. Alexandra Carolyn..."
"She probably still loves her mother. She just doesn't understand why her mother won't open her mind up," Lizzy suggested.
"Maybe," Grace said, shrugging as she rubbed her eyes. "Anyway I'm going to Aunt Ava's with Masen for dinner. We're going to be talking about all that fun stuff."
"Interesting. Liz and I will be spending tonight with our parents," I said, smiling at my sister who smiled back immediately. "We're going to see a movie or something."
"Twenty bucks dad is going to tell us a story about the days when movies were silent and not as flashy," Lizzy teased.
"And mom's going to be reminded of some crazy story about her mother," I said, chuckling fondly.
"You'll probably crash tonight at the movies," Masen said, smirking at me.
"So will your girlfriend," I pointed out, causing Grace to chuckle. I could see the sleepiness in her eyes. Maybe an all nighter wasn't a good idea.
"It was worth it though. I needed that," Grace announced, linking arms with Masen. "Now come on. We should probably head out."
"Probably. We'll see you guys later," He said as him and Grace waved at us goodbye.
"Does someone need a nap?" Lizzy teased, causing me to roll my eyes.
"Ah...Probably."
"Come on, we can watch a movie and you can fall asleep," Lizzy said, taking my hand to the couch.
"Aren't we going to one later?"
"Yes, but why not. Can't have too many movies in your life," Lizzy responded as we sat on the couch. "Where's Jake today?" She asked me curiously.
"Went to get some parts for his motorcycle with Ethan and Seth. They're out in Jersey," I explained, shrugging. "Didn't Seth tell you?"
"He might've," Lizzy said, biting her lip. "But I don't know."
I raised an eyebrow, "What's going on with you and Seth? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah," She answered quickly, but then scratched the back of her head with uncertainty. "I..I don't know...I just feel like he's way too attached to me?"
"How? I thought he is one of your best friends?" I questioned curiously.
"Yes...But I don't know," She told me, throwing her arms up in the air as an act of defeat. "I just feel like this is a job for him, looking after me. We're best friends, but it's not like Aidan and I friends or Abby and I. I love him so much, Ness, but I just...I just keep comparing ours to yours and Jake's-"
"Liz, don't do that. We're not the same," I pointed out.
"True, but at the same time I'm even thinking of other imprints. They all pretty much fall in love with each other the moment they can. I could fall in love with him, it's a possibility, but right now it's not even a crush. You had a crush on Jacob by this age. You knew that he was your soul mate. I just feel like I won't feel the same way. That he's devote his life to me but I can't give that back to him," Lizzy confessed to me.
"Liz." I sighed, bringing her body close to mine. I wrapped my arms around her frame, "You are only thirteen. You are still a kid. When I was your age, I had a lot less time than you to figure this all out. I was growing up a lot faster... You still have so much time. You have like five years left to grow up."
"Why do I feel like I'm growing up faster than the ten years Ethan said I would," Lizzy mentioned softly.
"I think you're taking after mom," I said, chuckling. "She was nineteen when she changed. You're turning six this November. You have four more years of this and you're only the physical age of thirteen. It's going to make sense in time. Anyway, let him be who you want him to be. If something is bothering you, tell him. Yes, he's loyal to you. Forever will be, but all he wants is for you to be happy...Look Lizzy. I thought the same once too, but then I realized maybe it's not like that at all. Imprints are just a wolf's way of telling them who their soul mate is. I don't think of it as being a ball and chain, necessarily. There's a lot more to it than we think. But like I said, if you feel like he's acting that way. Tell him. Seth cares about you so much and he'll understand."
"Thanks, Ness," Lizzy said, yawning a bit.
"Are you tired too?" I asked, chuckling as she snuggled up to me. Her head resting against my chest while my arms wrapped around her body.
"A bit. I didn't sleep at all last night either. I was too busy kicking Masen's ass," She said, shrugging. "I don't need to sleep though."
"Yes you do. Just not as much as a human would, you need a mental break," I insisted, hugging her tightly.
We then fell fast asleep before the movie could even begin.
*Grace's POV*
"So as you all know, Grandma is coming and well...This is going to be interesting," Ava announced to our entire family. It was me, Masen, my mother, Rob, Cordelia, Zach, Lexie, and little toddler Tommy who was too busy playing around with Lucie. Dru, Lucas, Maysun, and Jackson all headed out to some clubs because tonight was the meeting of the Sanders Clan.
"She has to know she's going to see you," my mother spoke up. "I explained to Mom you and I made up."
"Does she know I'm still married to Zach though?" Aunt Ava asked curiously.
"What about me? Does she know about me being alive?" Robert added, raising his hand. "Last time I saw Nonna was a long long time ago."
"I told her everything. Okay. I was honest about making up with you and she agreed. This has gone too far," my mother said. "And Robert, you're another reason she's going to be coming. Even though she never liked what you were, she's coming because she wants to see you. Like you said it's been long and Nonna cares. She missed you and seems like she wants to fix everything. But, I didn't mention you were now married to Aro's daughter, that Grace is dating what used to be a mythical Lux Lamia, or the fact we're trying to figure out Aro's next move. She just wants it to be a nice family get together for Grace's graduation."
"But it won't be," Robert pointed out slowly.
"This is going to go terrible," I muttered, burying my face into my hands.
"Probably is," Aunt Ava mentioned. "Last time I talked to my mother she called me a demon lover...To think I named my firstborn after her..."
"She's your mother. She probably misses you," Zach said, taking my aunt's hand firmly in his. "Am I right, Elaine?"
"You are. She misses the two of us, Ava. She loves us. She doesn't have anyone up there in Vermont. Every time I talk to her it's always "Elaine, why don't you visit?" or "Elaine, it's so lonely and cold up here" I don't know why that woman thought Vermont would be a good place to settle down," my mother mumbled under her breath.
"Because Daddy loved it," Aunt Ava remarked quietly. "That was our second house. She didn't want to sell it, she wanted to enjoy that space with us and her grandchildren. Look what happened. She's been spending the last seven years in that house alone."
"Everything went down the toilet. You married a vampire, I lost myself for a bit...It's been a ruff couple of years," My mother mumbled, rubbing her temples.
"We just have to convince her we're all good people. Maybe leave out the fact I'm the daughter of Aro," Cordelia said, shrugging. "And maybe not even mention that Grace is dating Masen?"
"She'll find out. Trust me, that woman figures out everything," Ava said, sighing. "We'll just have to make this work and she'll have to deal. There's no other way, but we have to ease her into it. Remember, her world isn't as accepting and open minded as ours have been. Maybe Elaine you could try to convince her. After all, you just joined our side."
"Wow. Thanks sis," my mother remarked dryly. "You make it sound like war."
"Well at this point, it might as well be," Aunt Ava remarked. "In the meantime, let's also bring up our next topic- Grace's mortality."
"What do you mean mortality?" Robert questioned, raising an eyebrow as he looked at me.
I bit my lip, "Well...I want to be with you guys forever. I don't want to grow old and die without any of you...But I'd like to point out- we don't know if I'm immortal. We need to figure out if my magic is strong enough to make me immortal because that's been the case with these half-witches who do become immortal. Their magic is strong, but then again there aren't many because most half-witches choose to live human lives. Then there's also the test with vampire venom. Will it kill me? We don't know."
"We are not testing that theory out," My mother shot down right away. "I don't need you dying."
"It might be the only way, Mom. We don't know if I will survive or not. We know if you're full witch you can't survive from it, but what if I, since I'm half human, maybe I could retain it?"
"Grace Ava Martin, no. You can probably become immortal some other way," my mother told me firmly, shaking her head. "I don't care. It's too risky."
"Mom-"
"She's right, Grace. You aren't doing it. I'm putting my foot down as well," Robert announced, starring me down. "My baby sister isn't going to put her life in danger for some boy-"
"It's not just for Masen!" I shot back, narrowing my eyes at him. "It's for you guys. I want to be with my family as well! You'll be living forever, Robert. I don't want to grow old and die without the rest of you! I can't help get rid of that feeling!"
"And you won't. I don't want to loose you either, bumble bee," He said, coming over to place his hands on my arms gently. "I promise, something will come along. We'll figure this out. You have to be immortal. There's no other way."
"Maybe I could become mortal?" Masen suggested.
"No! I'm not letting your family suffer," I said, shooting it back at him. "Think of your parents. Your sisters. I thought we said this wasn't an option."
"If you can't be immortal, I don't want to either. I'm not letting you do anything alone," Masen announced, standing up with me.
"There might be a way...I don't know if it exists but it's something to think about if this doesn't work," Aunt Ava spoke up softly. "I know this must be stressful. This is a stressful time in our lives, but it'll prevail. You'll see. Now come on, let's enjoy tonight with each other. We have the graduation coming up as well. This time is supposed to be happy."
"She's right. Come on guys. Let's enjoy," My mother added.
I nodded as I then walked away from the two men in my life. My brother and mate would do anything for me, but right now I can't stand what they're saying.
"Hey, are you okay?" I turned around to see Cordelia standing in the doorway. "Sorry, I couldn't help but sense you're sad."
"I'm just stressed," I admit to her, shrugging. "You wouldn't be able to control their minds to make them stop...Would you?"
Cordelia chuckled as she took a spot next to me, "Robert and Masen are good guys. They only want the best for you. As for Robert...He doesn't want to loose you either, almost as bad as Masen. Besides Lucie and I, you're a big part of his world. I know so much about your relationship with him. I know how he helped raise you. How he took care of you. How much he loves you so much. Why do you think I was so happy to finally meet you? After hearing all his stories- He only wants the best for you. As for Masen, as someone with a mate, I understand the longing and desire. The intensity of your love. It's powerful. I know everyone probably keeps telling you this, but you were meant to be with Masen. It has to work out...In the meantime, just enjoy yourself. Please? A high school graduation sounds so much fun. I wish I had one," Cordelia said to me. "I am very educated. My father educated my sister and I to be the best intellectuals we could be. Of course he missed out on other stuff, but at the same time I wish I got to be a normal kid like you for awhile or even grow up with a family like the Cullen's or Ava and Zach's family. That's what Rob and I want for Lucia. Just enjoy this because this time is truly precious."
"Thanks, Cordelia," I said softly. Cordelia smiled as the two of us hugged it out.
"Now come on, let's go calm our guys down. I'm sure they want to have some fun too," Cordelia told me, wrapping an arm around my shoulder as we headed back into the dinning room.
"Sorry about the outburst bumble bee," Robert said, coming over first. "We just don't want to loose you."
"I know. Let's just enjoy today," I said, giving him a smile. He smiled, planting a kiss on my head before I turned my attention to Masen. He grinned at me while I headed into his arms.
"And no more mortal talk, alright? For now let's just concentrate on fighting out if I am immortal," I told him.
"Deal," He said, kissing me gently. "Now come on, your aunt wants to play couples charade or maybe even girls against boys."
"Oh, it's on," I exclaimed as we all headed straight for the living room.
