After returning to the door Elizabeth was about to go to sleep when she received a call from her mother she picked up the phone and answered it.
Hello.
Hey sweetheart, how are you doing? Her mother asked.
I'm doing fine but how are you doing? How are dad and Lucy? She asks.
They're doing fine And what's it going with your dad he's doing well you making a quick recovery. Her mom responded.
So How have you been doing school work? Are you making sure to eat? Yes, I am worried and have been pretty busy lately, sorry. Elizbeth said.
That's understandable Oh also them boyfriend of yourselves What is this name, Michael?
After hearing that name Elizabeth started to feel sad but she held back her tears and her anger for him grew sad.
I and Michael are done. There's nothing between us anymore. Elizabeth said.
Oh okay Sorry to hear that. What happened?
You don't even know about it right now. I'm glad to hear from you guys. I am supposed to return soon but I already have my college scholarships still working so I will be going back. Elizabeth said.
I understand sweetheart.
Out of nowhere, a man yelled it out.
Who's on the phone is my little Elizabeth.
Yes, you want to speak to her. Her mom said.
In a video, she saw a man that was lying in a hospital bed. Dad is that you?
Yes, it's my sweetie pie is that you? You look even more beautiful like your mother. Her dad said.
Oh, you stop it. Her mom said.
I heard about you and Michael so what did that jerk do to you? Her dad said angrily.
You don't need to worry, me and Michael are done but I wanted to.
As soon as she thought about it she was worried to tell her parents about Damien because she didn't know how her parents would react to the news.
Elizabeth, is there something that matters? You know we can talk to some friends. I know one of my friend's sons is. Her mother said.
No, there's nothing wrong. I'm over here Michael and I have a new boyfriend.
Elizabeth didn't realize what she said but when she finally realized it he became embarrassed and shocked.
You have a new boyfriend already. Her mom said.
Yes, I wanted to hear more about him but I want to get his approval first because we build trust in each other that's why. She said but with a forced smile.
Well, I just want to know if you're doing all right we're going to hang up,because we see it's nighttime where you're, so you be safe and introduce me to this man of yours. Her dad said.
All right hopefully soon bye Dad Bye Mom.
Bye sweetheart.
She then hung up she was tired and fell asleep as soon as she woke up she went straight to get a shower and walk straight to class with Casey and Bri talk about what happened on the date Elizabeth was embarrassed and told them that nothing happened that much they went to a movie and ate dinner they were upset not to hear anything else happen why they made it into the class they saw Damien sending out his seat so they giggling went over.
Hey there, how are you doing? Bree asked.
I'm doing fine, thank you. He replied calmly.
Hey Bree we need to go and claim three spots right now let those two talk.
Casey and Bre walked away leaving both Elizabeth and Damien alone Elizabeth looked nervously adding but she gather up the courage and ask him to meet her on the roof this afternoon he agreed to it and then she walked to her friends who found their seats well I said as soon as came in and the professor made it before them and they started doing the lecture each class lasted an hour it was a Friday so afternoon none of her classes don't take I'm in the afternoon or evening, she went up to the room and then all of a sudden she started hearing a beautiful Melody coming from somewhere seesaw that somebody was in the room playing a piano she listens to the melody and she felt so calm and relaxed when she entered the room she saw Damien and she was amazed by his music after he was done with the peace he looked straight up at sunset she went straight towards them and asked.
What are you doing?
Nothing much, just looking at the beautiful scenery and seeing what I've been missing. He said.
Oh okay. Elizabeth said.
Now then you wanted to talk to me about something. Is the situation important? Damien responded.
Actually yes it's very important and I have been thinking about this all night, my mom, dad, little sister and brothers are all thinking about coming to visit me and I accidentally told them about you. She responded.
How much did you tell them? He asked with a cold look.
I didn't tell them much, I just told them that I have a new boyfriend and my parents want to come and see me so I wanted to let you know because I need you to feel alright with what I did.
She looked at him calmly and was a little bit nervous and irritated about what he said and looked at her but he told her.
I honestly don't mind at all. I'd did say okay I'll deal with the preparations by getting them a hotel and possibly getting them a first-class seat.
Please don't do that because I don't want them to be overwhelmed by what is going on. Liz says.
Fine, I won't give them a first-class seat but I will put them in a good hotel. He responded.
She looked at him with a happy smile but then she immediately remembered what happened last night and she realized that his eyes turned red until I reddish color so then she asked.
Can I ask you something else?
Sure what is it? Damien responded.
I wanted to know last night about both scars and your eyes turning red and also I met your mother but what about you father?
He stared coldly at her but however he was also feeling confused about what to tell her, she started looking at him with a little bit of worry despite how active she felt more or less around her.
Hey are you alright?
Yeah I'm good you don't need to worry, but I wanted to tell you something I'm going to be you leaving for a few days to not worry because I'll be back soon I just need to do some business. He said, responding.
Oh okay do you know when you're getting back on because we need to have this good idea of you being accounted for. Elizabeth said.
You don't need to worry about that.
I can make sure to send somebody guards just to make you feel safe if you want to understand how that feels.
Are you crazy? I don't want that but I will just want to know if I can make sure to get a day when you're back so I can somewhat pretend surprise. She said,
Well fine then since you want to try to ruin it. Damian said.
Can you stop being an obnoxious person and just tell me. She said retorting back.
I probably will be back in about a week or so. He said calmly.
Oh okay what do you want me to tell the Professor if he asks where you are?
Just tell him that I went on a family business for a few days. I'll be back.
Okay?
As soon as he said that immediately told her that he'll be meeting to get some stuff prepared just in case so after they were done he went straight to the airport and 4 days have passed since she separate Elizabeth has been doing nothing more school work and going straight to work doing nothing but waiting tables, when she noticed two for security guards big and strong walk through the restaurant in the middle where two people one look at her to be around 9 or 11 years old, the other happened to look at around 13 years old it was a two siblings ever Damien had when she realized that she immediately became confused and what was going on she went straight to the back and with some more confused.
What are they doing here? Aren't they here for something?
As soon as she was thinking about this one of the wait staff went straight to her and said.
Hey, the two people with the four guys wanted to see you. One wait staff said.
She was confused thinking that Elizabeth did something to offend the two people but Liz knew who they were two of the five siblings that Damien has, without hesitation she took a deep breath, relaxed and walked straight towards them.
"Hello, welcome to Little Island restaurant my name is Elizabeth and I'll be your waiter. Is there something that you two need?"
"Actually yes there is." The girl said.
"What can I start you off with?" Elizabeth said.
"Well it's actually an obvious request. We want you to hang out with us for the rest of the day with no questions and no rejection of the offer." The girl said.
Elizabeth was confused but she didn't know what to do on one hand she was at work a place that she felt safe at and on the other hand was going with the two siblings that are billionaire children, you don't know what to do at this point but then her manager came out and saw what was happening so he walked straight to her.
"I'm sorry, is there something that matters?"
Yes there is something that we would like to take your employee here or the whole entire day we're happy to help converse with you on accepting this offer. The girl said.
"Yeah we just want to hang out with Miss Liz." The Young man finally said.
"I'm sorry but we are not that type of establishment so I can't allow you to do that but I…"
"I'll do it."
As soon as the manager was trying to make them not take her she immediately agreed because she was worried if she said no then these two would do something drastic to anybody in the restaurant.
"Awesome, it's really great to see that you're going with us."
"Indeed."
They took her and immediately went straight to the cars why driving away the manager was worried so then he try to call Damien but he remembered that the girl said do not ever try to call Damien or else he will regret but back in the car they all immediately went to the mall Elizabeth was confused why she was talking to the mall so she was even more confused why did they want her to hang out with.
"So why are we here again?"
"Isn't it obvious this is going to be a little hangout session for us so I want to make sure that…"
"We just want to hang out with you because you look so awesome so would you please hang out with us." The young answer.
"Okay, I understand it, just look…"
He merely stopped in real life but she never did know a lot of their names. The only names she remembers are Ricardo's name and Maze so she thought about it I decided to say.
Hey I know this is a bit out forward but I actually never knew your names do you mind if I know them by chance?
And what makes you think that you're allowed to know..
oh that's simple enough my name is Keith and they're right there is Dana. The young man said.
And who gave you the right to say my name I said hate you where you stand. Dana yelled out.
So Dana and Keith I don't know why but the girl is a lot angry at me, did I do something to offend her in some way? Whatever I did can't be helped. I'll have to ask later. Liz thought.
They all went toward a clothing store and as soon as they went in, multiple people looked at the 3 people with the bodyguards.
People looked scared and the Clerks were about what to do.
UHm… excuse me, how may I help you?
Yes there is something I need you to do, this one right here she needs an outfit that doesn't look…
Sure thing ma'am please come with me.
After hearing that Elizabeth went with the worker and she turned out many different dresses but she refused it because she didn't want anything expensive.
Is there a problem why aren't you taking the dressing?
Well because the dresses are expensive and I don't usually like that.
Are you trying to tell me that what I'm choosing for you is damn right trashy?
No, I never said that I just don't like expensive things.
Oh I think I get it you like things that are more simple and common.
Yes it's not that I don't like the dress it's yes I don't need it sorry for not explaining it that well.
Please, I can understand your meaning. Are you saying that I'm that dense? Dana yelled out.
Well it's your weird thing done, now it's my turn to follow me.
He grabbed both the girls hands and ran them straight to a place that he liked. It was an arcade and video game store and also had comic books and cards and figurines. This place was called "Galactica Arcade and Collectors Emporium".
All right guys here is my thing I thought we might like it here. Michael said.
As soon as he noticed it they've been playing games for about 3 or 4 hours now and both him and Elizabeth have been more relaxed however Dana was still agitated by this Elizabeth looked at her and she was confused she went straight over to Keith.
Hey, do you know what happened? Why does she hate me so badly? I didn't do anything to deserve it right.
I don't know if she 's always been like that, but however when it comes to you she has even more matter don't know what it is but she's… well…
She's what Keith? Dana said.
Oh Dana. How long have you been there? Keith said.
Long enough for you to be talking or mess about me despicable, let's go.
They left the arcade and were about to walk around the corner when they bumped into two men. Hey what's where you're going.
Yeah what's wrong with you don't you know how to actually keep your eyes open and not walk into strangers.
Will you mangy little spoiled brat shut up God? It's like hearing parasites come out of your mouth and get out of my way.
The boys were about to grab her and make her learn a lesson but when they saw the bodyguards they immediately backed off and walked away.
Honestly, why didn't you do anything? What type of bodyguards are you? Dana yelled out.
Wait, hold on a second, it's not their fault. Elizabeth said.
Oh no. I'm sorry but what did you say? Dana said.
It's not their fault for this if it's anybody's fault it's yours. Elizabeth said, trying to protect the guards.
The guards were surprised but touched by this gesture.
Excuse me, who the hell do you think you are? You think just because you're my brother's toy that you can try to talk to me anyway you want. That is just utter nonsense that's just coming out of your mouth so I just feel merciful and I'll let you apologize for this so go on. Dana said proudly.
I'll have you know your arrogance will get you nowhere. Elizabeth said with superiority.
Excuse me if you know what's best for you then you will say nothing to me and just apologize what a good little you are. Dana said.
I say don't push your luck because one day it's just going to come and bite you back. Elizabeth said, scaling at her
Keith and the bodyguards looked at them worrying.
Okay okay that's enough ladies let's get going before you both try to kill each other. Keith said, trying to relieve the tension.
Fine, my mood is sullied anyway. I'll drop her off at the stupid dorm whatever it is and then I'm going to be going to my friend's house.
After saying that he got in the car and drove straight to the university Elizabeth got out of the car and when she turned around Keith hugged her saying.
See a big sister you be safe and let's go back to the arcade and hang out sometime okay?
Sure I don't mind doing that, it's a promise. Elizabeth said what they smile on our face.
After hearing that Keith grinned and they closed the door and started driving away Elizabeth was walking back to her dormitory bags in hand.
Man I really got to see that Elizabeth it's a great big sister. I feel like she's a great person for a big bro.
Don't you ever say that I bet you $500 that big bro is just using her to accentuate his appetite. Dana said with a condescending smile.
And situated his appetite, what do you mean by that? Keith curiously.
It's nothing that a little kid like you should know about right now let's just get back home.
As soon as she said that the phone rang and she looked at the phone seeing who called it happened to be the older sister Ashlie.
Hey Ashley, what do you want? Oh I just wanted to know where you two are. I want to know where you are because it's almost time for dinner. Ashley said over the phone.
Nowhere in particular…
we're at Big Sis's University. Keith Shouted it out.
Really that's great actually mom wanted to get that girl over here as well so do me a favor and grab her. Ashley said.
Are you kidding me why in the world would we need to grab her there's no reason for…
Just do it mom wanted to invite her over and she wanted to try to talk to her so this is a good way for her to get along so grab her and get her over here okay. Ashley said in a Stern voice.
Fine can't believe I'm doing this one of you going get that girl in for her over here.
As soon as she said that when the bodyguards Emily got out and started pacing their way towards the direction that Elizabeth walked, after she got out of the car Elizabeth started walking straight to her dorm but stopped right by the lake that was around her campus for some reason this Lake always had a common effect on her feeling gratefully relaxed Elizabeth started wondering.
What should I do for my life to be this hectic? How come she hates me? What did I do to make her straight up hate my presence? Elizabeth thought.
Why looking out at the lake Elizabeth she remembered receiving a ping on her phone from her social media account she looked at it and it's shown that next week on Monday it's going to be a parent's showing of college and she remembered how she wants to have her parents come and see her she sight a little.
Wonder how I am going to make them get here. Maybe I can ask, but if I ask him then he's just going to make me feel like I owe them a favor. She thought.
What should I do? Elizabeth said.
When she was thinking about this a man dressed me in a full business suit wearing a earpiece in his ear went up to her.
Excuse Me Miss Elizabeth sorry to interrupt your afternoon. I know we just talked you off but would you please come back with us.
Elizabeth looked confused wondering why. But she didn't mind and with a sigh she walked with The Bodyguard straight back to the SUV. So what did I do wrong this time?
Oh you didn't do anything wrong with me big sis Mom just wanted you to come for dinner. Keith said with a smile on his face.
Mom? Elizabeth said.
Yes be grateful I would have to let you not get back in the car but unfortunately our mom and our older sister wanted you to come to our house for dinner. Dana said.
Oh okay then.
Yeah I'm going to be happy that you're coming for dinner. Keith said.
He started chatting with her in the car until they made it back to the mansion and when they walked out and answered the house, a lady was right by the stairs with a smile and a little black dot on the side of her cheek she walked up to Elizabeth and said.
Hello dear Welcome to our home it's good to see you again.
Oh sorry it's good to see you too Miss um…
My name is Helen Hazel dear but you can just call me Helen or if you want mother-in-law. Helen said with a little giggle.
After hearing that Elizabeth's face grew a little bit red.
Mom you shouldn't say things like that you're making her embarrassed sorry about that nice to meet you my name is Ashley Parker.
Oh nice to meet you both. My name is Elizabeth Valentine.
Oh that's such a beautiful name your parents really had to give you such a beautiful name.
Thank you to be honest I'm sorry that I came here without a gift.
After saying that Helen Laughed.
