Changing // DISCONTINUED

Chapter Eleven

Theme song: "Riverbank" by Brad Paisley

I don't want to leave, but I must remember that we have a long time to be together. What with all the vampire nonsense I forgot my birthday is next Friday, also the designated day of my death. Great.

I decide to get up and go to my bed I miss it. Silly I know but it's a reminder of my old life. And by old I mean a few days ago.

I reached the front door and stopped I smell cake. In a hurry I open the door and smile the smell is so much stronger now that there is no longer a pice of wood separating me from it. I can smell every detail about it; it's a yellow cake with milk chocolate icing and jell writing that says 'Happy Birthday Lizzy' just like every year.

"Thank you, Bell." Wait it's not only Bell it's Aunt Mary, Uncle Brian, Grandma Pat, Grandpa Joey, Darren, Steve, Alan, and Tommy.

"Wow," I said "Thank you." The only family I have is here and I'm glad even though I'm not thrilled about Aunt Mary what with killing my parents and all, I wanted to see her one last time. she watched over us before Isabel was a legal adult. I dropped my phone on the table and went around hugging everyone. Almost in tears.

"You guys didn't have to do this! But I love it I really do love it."

"Of course we did silly its your 17 birthday." Aunt Mary said excitedly.

They start to leave at 10:00 about two hours later, it was a really fun party. I got to introduce Steve as my boyfriend which was nice. But I had to, along with Steve and Darren, hid my vampire marks from Aunt Mary and Uncle Brian. I just said 'Hid your marks Brian and Mary are vampire hunters' through my teeth when I hugged them.

Even though Steve doesn't have the finger marks, he has my bite marks that she might know about. Or be able to figure it out. I shivered at the thought.

Steve left last because we watched a movie together. I explained to him that I don't want to be tempted by him so he has to leave.

"So I tempt you?" he said wrapping his arms around my waist and smiling

"Yes," I place my hands on his cheeks and kiss him "goodnight."

I decide to walk him back just so I can be with him a little bit longer

"Thank you for the party who's idea was it?" I was genuinely couriois

"Tommy's, he will really miss you he, as you may have guessed, liked you."

I smiled "Who didn't?" Even though it was rhetorical he answered

"Darren, he always felt like your brother even if he never went out and said it."

"He called me 'sis' when I told him about my nightmares."

"Yeah, That's what I meant he acted like it, and he yelled at me for the very fun Friday night."

"I fingered" I let go of his hand, we made it to his house I kiss his cheek and sprinted home.

---------------------------------------------

After the best sleep of my life I woke to pebbles on my window and my phone buzzing. I walked over to my window opened it and shouted down to go to the front door. They rang the bell and pounded on the door until I opened it. I asked them to wait in the living room while I got ready.

Steve p.o.v.

"I'll be right back," I said to Darren with a wicked smile. Creeping up the stairs I put my finger to my lips.

I opened Liz's door hoping to catch her naked or half dressed. She was sitting on her bed facing the door shaking her head.

"Steve, Steve, Steve you have to be quieter than that I have great hearing."
