Forbidden love...(on hold)

Part Nine...

After the movie we went out to the lobby and got surrounded by paparazzi congratulating us in the engagement they wanted to get a few pictures of the rocks on our fingers. One even had the nerve to ask if I was pregnant I handled it like a reasonable person and said “ no way I mean I love kids but I’m still taking care of my siblings and Nate’s cousins they are enough for a mom and more than enough for a teenager like me to care for, though now I do have Cassandra to help me.” I smiled and Nate rubbed my arm. When the press got tired of asking us questions that just popped into their heads I grabbed Nick and Nancy and We snuck away and got back to Peter, the change was obvious his lips were fuller and his skin was slightly paler. we sat next to him  for about 20 minutes before he begin to stir I couldn’t resist it I peeped into Peter’s head he was thinking of the conversation we’d had before he was taken.

'Do I look different, like funny?' he had asked.

'No you look fine why?' i lied. his skin was pale and his eyes were tiered.

'I just don’t feel like my self it’s like I’ve changed over night like I hear things better, I see better, and my teeth hurt.'

'Well maybe that is not strange your teeth have always hurt and you might still have the after effect of a migraine.'

'Maybe your right I just need some sleep I’ll see you in the morning.'

'Ok hope you feel better by then.'

He was seeing it with better eyes it was all a reaction of the bite. It was all my fault, I had bitten him, I had changed him..

“If you keep that up I’m going to hit you, Lizzy.” a smile crept onto my face as everyone around me snapped their heads to see Peter begin to sit up on his elbow his eyes opened slowly looking directly at me. “you didn’t mean to do anything Nick never told you that you could change anyone when you were only six, not that you and Nate are very common so you may never have known.”

“Damn it I hate it when you do things like that Lizzy.” Cassandra said to me.

“Well if you don’t like it stay out of the conversation.” Peter replied to his sister. 

The two of them didn’t speak for the rest of the night I never did understand why they thought be at odds was a good thing.

As We all headed home in the same grouping we had arrived in Nate and Peter had a conversation about me and most of the time they thought it was so funny making fun of me. Danny was the one to seem to pass out this time Peter looked down at him and stopped talking almost instantly mesmerized by Danny’s sleeping figure. I smiled to myself knowing that they would share that look until the end of time, it was nice to know that the boys would always have forever together. I bit my lip and kept my focus on the road it wasn’t a long drive so it wasn’t that hard.

When we got inside instead of waking him Peter lifted Danny out of the car with ease and walked up to the room on the 2nd floor. I was tiered so I went up the stairs to my floor and took a hot shower I was happy to be out of the shoes at least, the water felt nice. I got out and got dressed and jumped into bed before Nate ever came up.

“Lizzy?”  he asked opening the door and walking in.

“Come to bed, it’s warm.“ I said yawning. He changed into sweats and sat on the edge of the bed next to mine looking at me his face was regretful. I propped myself on my elbow  and said “what’s wrong baby?”

He just looked at me.

“Your worrying me, what’s wrong Nate? You know you can tell me.” I asked trying to stay calm.
