CH13-Seeing the Boys

Since Jasper and Rose aren't going to school today, I ask Charlie to give me a mental health day from school. He agrees and lets me stay home. I tell Jake that I have the day to myself and he says that he and the boys don't have school today and he invites me to hang. So I'm deciding to take a break today. I need to get out into the wild so I'm gonna go see Jake, Ash, and the others today. Get out onto the reservation today. I get in my truck and start it up.

Time Skip!

I pull into the Black's driveway and put my truck in park. I get out of the vehicle and walk to the door. I knock twice and a couple of seconds later Jake opens the door. "Hey Liz, how's it going?" "Hey, Jake. It's going well. I just wanted to come out and see everyone. Mainly Ash and Embry, but like you said everyone wants to see me." He chuckles. "Right. Right. Well, we'll go see the boys after you and Ash catch up." "Thanks, Jake." "No problem Liz. Also, you don't have to thank me. You're practically family." I smile and walk past him into the home and to the oh so familiar room of one Ash Black.

Her bedroom door looks exactly the same as it did 5 years ago. Her door is all white with a black sign on top that reads 'Ash's Dome! Do not enter! Unless you're Lizzy.' We made that sign when we were 8 after Jake had walked into the room unannounced and asked if he could play with us after Bella had gone home with my dad. She screamed 'no' in his face and shoved him out of the room quickly before shutting the door in his face. We both had laughed at the event that had taken place and she painted the sign having Harry Clearwater hang it at the top of her door.

Then there was the 'family tree' she had painted on her door at age 10. It had the Clearwater's and the Blacks on separate sides of the tree. I smile at the door before I knock 3 times in-consecutively.

(A/N-I don't know who came before Harry and Billy and I don't completely get the relationship between the 2 families but in my mind, she was 10yrs old when she painted it and the only 'family' she had known was Liz, the boys, her father, and brother and the Clearwaters so yea. Also, the 3 knocks are like 'code' for the girls so they know it's the other.)

I hear a squeal before the door opens to reveal my best friend. Her eyes are shining as bright as a child's on Christmas after receiving all the gifts they asked for. I smile brightly at my friend as she brightly grins back. "LIZZY!!!" She shouts as she tackles me into a hug.

I laugh at her reaction. "Hey Ashy!" I exclaim back. "I've missed you so much!!!" Ash shouts once more. "Alright. Alright." I laugh. She lets me go and practically pushes me into her room. I scan the room and notice it's exactly like it used to be just less pink and more white. Also a lot less toys.
