Southern Love (Twilight Fanfic)

Part 4

*Lilica's P.O.V.*

Yesterday was such a mess, I hated it. Did I accidentally insult her?? I don't think I did....I don't know. All I know is that I am gonna try my hardest to just avoid any conversation with the Cullen's, I'm not even gonna glance in their direction. I can't believe I'm already on someone's bad side. Whatever, I've been up and changed for school for about an hour now, having not really slept due to my anxiety of how today might progress. Braiding my hair I'm dreading having to get through first period with Elizabeth....

I decide to walk out of my room finally and skip breakfast, walking with Bells to her truck. The drive there we're talking about our classes and the 'friends' we've made on our first day. I know she seems very antisocial in public, but we've always had a good relationship. It was good for us to have each other through everything. Pulling up to the school we both dread the day that's ahead of us. Walking into first period I saw Elizabeth looking very comfortable, I like this look. But I am not gonna make her day even worse by talking to her, so I just sit down and start writing in my notebook. I feel a lot of people glancing at us and hear their whispers. I can't believe I've embarrassed myself so much on the first day that people are actually talking about it. Everyone knows the Cullen's, they're probably really powerful and I pissed off the two mean-looking blonds. Great.

The bell rings and the blondie gets up and rushes out of there as fast as she can, but it's just my luck that I notice that she left a notebook behind. Fuck. After some internal debate, I decided that I'll take it home with me and give it back to her tomorrow, that way there's no conflict. I'm still trying to avoid all of them at all costs. The next few classes pass by pretty quickly, which means lunch has arrived. I sit down at the table with Bells and the rest of our new 'friend' group. I look over at the Cullen table to see most of them are pissed, and Edward Cullen missing. Wonder if it had anything to do with what Bella told me happened yesterday in their shared class. I look over at their table and I see Elizabeth move her head a little, just enough for me to see hand-shaped bruises on her neck....how the hell?? God, I hope she isn't one of those people are have to deal with abusive parents or siblings...

The last class of the day and of course I have to share it with the two Cullen siblings that terrify me. Yay. I just hope that Alice doesn't try to talk to me. The first minutes of class is fine, no one is talking, no one is even looking at me just like I want. Sadly I start to panic when I hear Elizabeth panicking over a notebook to her girlfriend, and I feel everything in me feels weak. Fuck. The notebook she's looking for is in my backpack that's on the back of my chair. I can't just give it back to her, she'll think I stole it. She already hates my guts. Why is this universe against me?? I just need to get through the rest of this school day

Luckily for me, I get through the rest of class and get home without anything else but fear that she somehow knows I have her notebook. Getting home I notice dad's patrol car isn't in here, I hope he doesn't have too much of a bad day. Bella and I both decide to do our homework in our rooms, probably skipping dinner. While I'm doing science homework I feel a really strong urge to read Elizabeth's journal. I know I shouldn't, and I'm not one to normally break someone's privacy....but something is telling me I need to read it. So I grab it out of my bag and start reading it from the very beginning.....which dates back to 1861. What the hell?? She wasn't alive back then, maybe it's her great great grandmothers or something?? As I keep reading I learn more and more. Whoever had it written in it every time she had a bad day. Her brother joining the army. Her brother dying in the army after 2 years. Her being turned....wait...ELIZABETH IS A FUCKING VAMPIRE?! No, this is some sort of prank. Can't be real....unless.....

I can't stop reading. It has everything in it. All the answers to my questions. Jasper is her actual brother, that's why they're so close. Alice is her wife, not her girlfriend. All of the Cullen's are vampires. Alice can tell the future, Edward can read minds, Jasper can read and feel emotions, Elizabeth herself has human features and can bruise...she had bruises on her neck....now I'm even more curious. God I hope they don't find out I know....
