Chapter Six

I knew Dylan was upset, I could see it in his face, he thought I was choosing a mortal who could die any minute over a family I will have forever. “No! She’s not just a mortal, she is the one I love and I’m not going to drive 2 days to Alaska just to pleas you! I am going to stay here and that’s final, I’m not leaving her.” I then watched over to Elizabeth and saw tears streaming down her face, “I’m not going to make you choose between me and your family, you need to move to Alaska, be happy and fall in love with someone of your kind.” She whispered as she tried to sound convincing. I ran to her side and wiped away her tears with the tip of my thumb, she then held onto my hand and her tears eased up a bit. “Elizabeth I will never leave your side, we belong together. Family is always replaceable and we could always start our own, I promise I will never leave your side.” I whispered and I heard Dylan growl where he stood, Elizabeth then wrapped her arms around me and kissed me passionately. After seeming like we did not want to stop someone cleared their throat *People really need to stop doing that!* I thought to myself, when I spun around I saw Dylan standing approximately 5 inches away from my face looking as if he was ready to scold me like if I was a kid who swore for the first time. I focused on him, ready to fight back if he ever thought to raise a hand and hit me. Slowly I broke the space between us, “I told you I’m not leaving but that’s easy for you and Carmen because that’s all that yall are good at doing!” I said through my clenched teeth. “Robert if this is because of my brother and me we have no problem with finding somewhere else to live.” Nicholas said softly behind me, “Nick there is no problem with you living here, I always wanted another brother and now I got two so don’t let this fall on you. I knew from the day I told Elizabeth I loved her I was never leaving her side.” I said pulling him into a brotherly hug. “I’m glad to have another brother also who is not my twin.” Nick said laughing while walking out of the family room. While walking out of the family room also I tugged Elizabeth along with me, “One more thing Angel won’t be home until tomorrow night so her room and the guest room is available. Also whoever stays in her room please do not arrange or move anything or you will never hear the end of it.” I said with a smug look on my face knowing that one of them will mess up in some way. I then took Elizabeth hand and led her back up to my bedroom, as I reached the top of the stairs I saw Nicholas making his way into Angel’s room. So he would be the brave one, “Good luck!” I shouted before pulling Elizabeth into the bedroom and closing the door behind us. When I turned around Elizabeth wad only a couple inches away from my face, “What now?” she asked in a luring whisper. I did not hesitate to break the space between us and smashed my lips onto hers; we stumbled our way to the bed while tripping a few times. Before I knew it my shirt was off and on the floor and I was quickly taking off her jersey, “Are you sure you want to do this?” Elizabeth asked while nibbling on my bottom lip, “I want you more that you will ever know, so let’s do it!” I whispered against her caramel skin. “Over my dead body! Robert get off of her! You are not doing that under my roof” Dylan shouted as he passed my room. I slowly pulled away from Elizabeth and began to laugh, “Really Dylan? Eavesdropping? Could you please let us have some privacy?” I asked while buttoning up my shirt but Elizabeth kept pulling it off.

“Okay but we need to talk in the morning,”

“Sure wake me up when you’re ready.” I said sarcastically

“I do not need your attitude Robert!” Dylan shouted

“Whatever Dylan!” I simply said as I heard him close the door to his and Carmen’s bedroom.

I would admit I was a little hard on my dad but he deserved it; after all he was not there for almost a decade of my life. “Babe you’re tired, I think you should sleep now.” I suggested as I draped the covers over Elizabeth, “Robert, why don’t you call Dylan and Carmen mom and dad? They are the persons who gave your life and calling them mom and dad is a sign of showing respect and gratitude.” Elizabeth said as she lay on the bed. This infuriated me a bit, the memories came rushing back and I quickly pushed them away, “I don’t wanna talk about it.” I said harshly through my clenched teeth. Elizabeth seemed shocked with me using this tone towards her and I also shocked I never thought I could use that tone towards her. “Whatever Goodnight!” She simply said and rolled over to her side, “Lizzy I’m sorry i did-” she then cut me off, “It’s forgotten goodnight.” She whispered I knew she was hurt but I did not want to peruse this into an argument. A short while after her breathing evened out and her heart beat slowed, I knew she was asleep. I took this opportunity to go talk to Dylan. I then stepped out the door trying not to wake Elizabeth, “Dylan could I talk to you?” I asked as I passed his bedroom and made my way to the family room and sat in the single seat. While thinking about how I was going to confront Dylan he interrupted my thoughts, “Son what’s wrong?” Dylan asked while sitting opposite me. “You know I could never forgive or forget what you done right? You walk around here acting like everything is so perfect and acting like you forgot everything but I have not. Angel may seem like she has forgiven and forgot what you and Carmen did but I have not.” I looked at the pained expression on his face, “I choose to not live in a house with parents who did not want their kids in the first place so I suggest you take everyone and move to Alaska or wherever and I will stay here and live with Elizabeth.” I said looking away not wanting to see his face anymore, “Robert I do not expect you to forgive me and to be honest I won’t want to forgive myself but I will do anything to make sure you and Angel feel welcomed back. I know it’s hard not seeing your parents for 10 years and they just come back and claim you. Juts know that you are my son and I love you no matter what.” Dylan said while pulling me into a hug, “I love you to Dyl- Dad.” I quickly corrected myself. “Robert where is Elizabeth?” Dylan asked looking puzzled as ever.

“She’s fine; she’s sleeping in my room.”

“No. Son listen I can’t hear a heartbeat.” Dylan said still trying to concentrate to prove he was wrong.

Without thinking I then took off to my room, “Elizabeth? Elizabeth!” I screamed looking in my bathroom and saw a trail of blood leading out the window. “Where is she Dad? Where is she?” I asked sounding as if I was about to cry.
