Love through pain
Ella pov
I was talking with my friends at school when i turned around to go and get something to eat for lunch when someone walked straight into me. SMACK, I go down, hit my head on the floor and then everything goes black.
Percy's pov
I was walking to my usual spot over in the corner where i sit alone because i have no friends, and because i get bullied and annoyed all the time, when i didn't notice that i walked straight into someone. SMACK, she goes down and hits her head on the floor. "Oh sorry i didn't..." i stop myself when she doesn't respond. Oh crap! I bend down to her and that's when everyone crowds around to see.
"What happened?"
"Percy you idiot.."
"What did you do Percy?" Everyone started talking at the same time and I couldn't hear myself think. "SHUT UP!" i yell, and everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at me "please" i say quietly, then i turn to the girl and realize that it was Ella, the girl that i had a crush on ever since I was little, but haven't got the courage to tell her. Then i notice something, there was blood coming from her head. OH NO! Then i freak out and say something really intelligent like "there's blood coming from her head" and Caitlin sarcastically says "you don't say, what the hell did you did to her Percy? Why is she on ground and why is her head bleeding?"
"I- I didn't do anything to her i was just walking with my head down and..."
"Why were you walking with your head down Percy?" she cut me off.
"I don't know? Sorry, i was thinking to myself when i walked into someone and when i looked up i realized that it was Ella and now …" I didn't need to finish, Caitlin understood what I meant. She just chuckles and said, " it's ok Percy just check where the blood is coming from to start with"
"Ok" i look at her face and i go into a trance, I stare at her, her long blond curly hair, the way it fell around her, the way, OH man! What am i doing? Then i realize that i am just staring at her and blush, some of the girls in front me giggle. So i get my head together and try not noticing her beauty and lifting her head. As soon as my hand connects with her head i instantly feel blood. I swap my hand to the other and lift it up for everyone to see, i look up nervously and some of the girls grasp in shock. "Caitlin.." i say slowly getting really worried.
"Ok um just don't move her, someone go and get a teacher!, don't worry Percy it's not your fault." She said as she read my worried face. I look back at my hand and it is just covered in blood, then i realize that Ella is waking up; she makes a groaning noise and opens up her beautiful sea green eyes.
Ella pov
As i open my eyes i see people crowing around me, then i look at one person in particular and realize that it is that lonely boy who has no friends, his name is Percy Jackson. Everywhere i went and every time i saw him i felt really sorry for him because he was constantly getting bullied and picked on. Then i look around and see all the worried faces of my friends and i can't help but laugh. As i laugh i get a piercing pain in my head, "ow" i say as i bring my hand up to my head and feel something wet, as i bring my hand down i get a sickening feeling in my stomach because my head i covered in blood. "Percy wha-what happened? Why is my head covered in blood?" I say heaving.
"Ella, Ella it's ok, a teacher is on their way, i bumped into you and you fell and hit your head on the ground, everything is going to be ok!" then i stare into his eyes and he stares back into mine. Then my mind goes into another world. I haven't seen Percy up this close before, I've only seen him from a distance away and now that i can see him up this close i realize that he is a lot hotter than seeing him from a distance away. I tried to sit up but couldn't, so Percy uses his extremely muscular arms (dramatic expression or what?) to give me a boost up to my feet, then he asks Alex, my friend, to get a chair and when she comes back with the chair she just stares at Percy in a daze and when he said thanks she goes "whaaaahhhh" with a massive smile on her face, he just chuckles and takes the chair. When i sit on the chair i stare at Percy and check him out (yeah, yeah shut up), a way for me to describe Percy goes like this: he has a good tan, he is tall and muscular in the shoulders, he has beautiful black, messy hair, and the most attractive part about him is his eyes, they were the same colour as mine but his took me to another planet, they were sea green and sparkly. As i try to take my gaze away from his eyes, i realize that he is laughing at me. "What" i say confused.
"Nothing it's just that i asked you a question and i don't get a reply expect someone smiling at me with a big grin on their face"
"Oh" i say and look down to blush, and some of the girls giggle at me and i start to giggle back except that my head starts to really hurt. I bring my hand up to my head and press in the pain. "Here let me" Percy says and then takes off his shirt, OH MY GOSH! I blush and look away. I hear some girls giggle again and when i look at what they are staring at my face goes redder then a tomato because Percy has abs, i mean i knew that he was really athletic when it comes to swimming but i didn't know this secret about him. When i finished staring at his abs, i looked at his face and realised that he is smiling at me, "finished staring?" he says and i go even redder in the face. I look down to hide it but he puts his warm hand on my chin and lifts my head up and puts his shirt on my head to try and stop the bleeding. As he does this i look into his enchanting eyes and realize that everyone, including my friends, are smiling and awing at us. Then to break this enchanting moment Mr. Fuller comes over and say's "what's going on here?" I look up at his grumpy face and sigh with grief, you see Mr. Fuller is a grumpy old teacher who hates teenagers because he thinks that we never listen and blah, blah, blah, but the truth is, we never listen because the teachers are so boring and old and you get the idea. And besides if he hates teenagers so much why did he become a high school teacher? That i will never understand?
"Well if you can't see sir, Ella has cut her head open!" Emma said sarcastically; Emma is one of my dramatic friends and as soon as she said that her face fell because she knew that Mr Fuller doesn't like kids who are dramatic. He glares at Emma and said "will you please mind your own business Emma and don't be so dramatic she's not that bad" she went to protest but he glared at her and she stopped straight away.
"Yes sir sorry sir" then he glares at Percy as if just noticing that he doesn't have a shirt on, "Percy put your shirt on n we don't want you flashing everybody!" Percy blushed and went to put his shirt on when i stopped him and said to Mr Fuller "sir you can't expect him to put it on there's blood on it!" then Mr Fuller turned around and glared at me saying "excuse me, but i do not like it when people talk back to me especially when it is none of their business! And will you please go and get rid of all this blood we want our school to look appropriate not like someone has just been murdered" he then turned around and walked away and didn't even bother to help me, thanks sir! But I didn't bother to argue there's no point. Percy and i sat there for a while, waiting for the ambulance that was supposed to come. Eventually the bell rang and everyone went to go to their locker. Percy smiled at me and said "I'll stay with you" and i smiled back at him to let him know that i am grateful. Then he asks me if i am hungry seeing as i didn't make it to the canteen. "No but i am thirsty" and he looks at Alana, she was also one of my friends who stayed behind with me and my other friends, they knew that they weren't allowed but they stayed behind anyway. When Alana went to go the canteen and buy me a drink; with my money by the way, i was able to get the courage to ask Percy what was bothering me. "Percy did you know that we both have the same eye colour?" i said that while blushing, and all he does is laugh. "What is so funny?" i asked annoyed.
"Nothing, it's just?, How hard did you hit your head?" i get embarrassed and look away. He then touches my chin (again OMG) and lifts my head up. This time my face felt like it was on fire. Then he (while laughing) said the very thing that made me want to go and hide in a small, dark hole "I don't like it when you look away Ella, you'll hide your pretty face" oh man, why Percy why? I tried to hide my face but he had it in a kind of lock that i couldn't move so i covered my face with my hands instead. "Oh man, why did you have to say that Percy?" i hear him laugh so i remove my hands from my face and look into his eyes. "Sorry i didn't mean to embarrass you, it's just that umm" he looks down and releases my face. I then realized that it's his turn to blush and become embarrassed. I start to giggle but stop and say "sorry that's mean, i shouldn't laugh" he looks up, smiles and said " don't worry I laughed at you and um, look, Ella i need to tell you something, but…"
"It's ok Percy you can tell me anything, what's on your mind?" i said that to try and ensure him that it's ok, I'm here for him. He then said something that didn't make any sense because of the stutter that came with it. "Sorry Percy i didn't quite get that"
He then said it again but really fast; which i didn't get either. "I'm sorry i still didn't get that" oh man, i felt really sorry for Percy he was having a really hard time trying to say, whatever it was he was trying to say. "It's ok Percy you don't have to tell me" but honestly i really did.
"you know what" he said that in a much calmer voice, "it's not going to work, i really can't say it" he was really nervous because he was playing with his shirt and was sweating a little.
"Well I don't know what to say Percy, if you can't tell me than don't" i was getting impatient, i really wanted him to tell me because I might be able to help him but he couldn't say it.
"Well if i don't tell you now i'm going to be here all day, so i'm going to show you." Then he leaned in and gave me a peck on the cheek. Awe how cute, he is so adorable i thought.
I hear some of my friends giggle and go awe. Yeah they were right i felt the same way. Percy look away and blushed, while he wasn't looking i turned to my friends who were laughing (yeah thanks guys, real helpful make me more embarrassed) but they gesture me towards him. I think i understand? "Percy" i say; he looks at me smiling nervously (oh man, a smile like that could make any girl faint). "Don't worry i feel the same way" then it was my turn to kiss him but this time i kissed him on the lips. He was taken by surprise but follows me by tilting his head the other way and placing his hands on my cheeks. I feel everybody's eyes on us then everybody started cheering and clapping as well as their awe's and giggles, but i don't mind, i'm enjoying the moment too much to care. Then the cheering and clapping die down and I look up to see Alana standing there holding out the water bottle and covering her eyes with her hand. "Alana are you ok? What are you doing?" Percy said, she removed her hand smiled and blushed. Then someone behind us clears their throat, and we all looked up at Mr. Fuller again.
"Percy did i not tell you to put your shirt on?" he asked with a scowl on his face. "Sorry sir but i can't..." he got interrupted by my friends talking really loud.
"Oh did you see that cute fluffy cloud?"
"Yeah it's so cute"
"What time is it?, do you think we should go to class?"
"Na, i want to stay with Ella and school is almost over anyway"
"Oh look the ambulance is here"
"Well they look their time to get here"
When i looked over my shoulder to where my friends were looking, i could see that they were right; the ambulance really was here.
"Oh good thank you for finally getting here, it wasn't a real emergency but..." Mr. Fuller walked away to greet them. i looked at my friends and mouthed 'thank you', they saved Percy from getting in a detention, they just smiled, laughed while nodding. I looked at Percy and smiled "that was really close"
"Yeah" he agreed. Then the ambulance people came over to check me; to give me some stitches for the cut on my head. So Percy went over to my friends to get out of the ambulance's way.
Percy's pov
As i walked over to Ella's friends i heard the ambulance guy say to Ella "so is that your boyfriend, do you remember what happened? Could he help us if you don't remember" i just smiled to myself. If only they new, I thought. When i sat at the table the twins, Alex and Jordan, said at the same time "sooo Percy... are you going to find a shirt or what cause... i mean you don't have to" i stare at them and smile but say nothing. Man that's weird they both said the same thing at the same time! Maybe they do have an empathy like?. That's when reality hit me; oh yeah my shirt, its still with Ella. I looked over to Ella and saw that is was in her hand. She then looked at me and realized that i was looking at the shirt and she mouthed 'sorry', i just shook my head in a don't worry way, when she pulled a weird face and pointed at her friends. I turned round and saw that they were all staring at me, so i freaked out and said "what are you all stating at?" they all drop their gaze and we have a moment of awkward silence when i noticed that they are sneaking little looks at me from the corner of their eyes. Then Victoria said "so you and Ella hay?" I smile and say "yeah". I was relieved when Ella was finished because when she came over they totally ignored what i said and kept on looking at me like they were under a spell with a dazed look on their faces. As Ella was walking over i thought about what Victoria said about me and Ella and i thought, maybe i should talk to Ella about us, but my thoughts were interrupted by the funny look on her face. "What? What's wrong? What are you guys looking at?" then she realized and said in a more firmer voice "get your eyes off my man he's mine!", Well i guess i don't have to talk to Ella any more.
"What? Are you sure Ella?"
"Are you kidding me, you ask me a question like that when you are sitting there with your shirt off and you expect me not to look at your abs and say no you nerd?" i put my hands up in surrender and put an innocent face on, "i think not" she say's with a grin. Then she leans in and starts kissing me. We broke apart when my new friends started giggling at us.
"Get a room will you" said Kathleen sarcastically. I smile at them and then pull Ella's hips down onto my lap and start kissing her with deep passion. I then put my hands around her back and lock them together to tell her that she is safe with me and that she won't go anywhere.
Ella had her hands on around my neck and was tangling her fingers in my hair. Ahh I'm the luckiest man alive I thought, I don't want this too ever end.
Alana's pov
As i was sitting there watching Ella and Percy make out (i mean talking) i thought about how lucky Ella is to finally have someone in her life after her last boyfriend, (Luke). I was thinking about how weird Ella and Percy got together.
Flashback
As i went to get Ella a water bottle, i was thinking to myself 'i hope Ella and Percy get together.' But apparently my dreams can come true because as i walk back over to Ella and Percy i see that they are kissing, awe! So i just stand there holding out the water bottle and look away while covering my eyes with my hand. I know what you're thinking, what the hell Alana? What are you doing? but i wanted to give them some privacy. When Percy looks up and says "Alana are you alright? What are doing?" i remove my hand while blushing and smiling. Ella looks up and realises that i am blushing and starts to laugh, then Percy, than me.
Flashback end
"Alana, Alana! What's she doing?" i hear Alex say,
"ALANA!" that's when i come back to my senses; Percy just yelled my name.
"What?" i say confused. Then all my friends, including Percy, all start to laugh.
"What?" I say again
"Are you ok Alana you look dazed" Taryn asked
"Oh umm yeah i was just thinking about everything that has just happened" i say looking at Ella and Percy. They all look at me in awe. Then Alex said, just to break the awkward silence, "hey Ella what did the Ambulance people say? I mean what was wrong with you?"
"Oh they said that i was fine, i only cut my head open on the ground"
"So all you needed was some stitches?"
"Yep"
"And you don't have a concussion?"
"Nope"
"Well that's no good" Percy said smiling, uh oh i thought, this couldn't be good.
"Excuse me? What was that? "Ella said seriously, but she was only joking. Percy smiled and said "well it's bad because i won't be able to come to your rescue any more" awe i thought, that is so cute. The look on Ella's face went from serious to an adorable smile.
"Only you would say that twinkle toes" she laughed. He scrunched his face up and pouted. Then she laughed again and said "sorry twinkle toes" and then she kissed him. Ahh such young love, i wonder when i'll find love? Hopefully not for a long time (Wink).
After a while of talking, laughing and other things, the bell went to tell everyone that its the end of the day. So we left to go to our lockers and then to go home, but of course Percy said that he would walk Ella home. I just love, love! I'm so happy that they are together.
Percy pov
We were walking onto the busses so we could go home, when a guy named Hayden came over to us before we could sit down. This guy was fairly muscular (not as big as me though) and had dirty, blond hair and his face was covered in freckles. He was the annoying one who always bullied and annoyed me whenever i went on the bus. I went on the same bus as Ella because we lived close to each other. How ironic.
I was supposed to be afraid and flinch but this time i didn't. Maybe its because i'm not lonely any more and that i finally have someone to care about.
"What do you want Hayden?" i asked annoyed
"Geez sorry Percy i was just going to congratulate you for finally having someone i your life" he gestured his head towards Ella.
"Oh ah thanks man". Gossip spreads like nothing in this school. He went to walk away when i yelled out "so does this mean no more taking my money or squashing your sandwich into my hair or..."
"Yeah i get the idea."
"Oh and Hayden do you have a spare shirt? Because i don't think Ella's parents will be to happy if they see me shirtless?" he laughed and said "yeah here", he threw me a plain white shirt that was a little to small for me so the shirt stretched. We both sat down and i turned to Ella and smiled.
Ella's pov
What was that all about? i thought to myself. But i chose to let that one go. Every time i catch the buss i always see Percy sitting by himself and i feel bad because Hayden always picks on him and now, all of a sudden they're friends? i'm so confused?
"Ella are you ok?" Percy asked me. He must of looked at the expression on my face because it looked like i was thinking really hard.
"Oh ah yeah, i think i am?" i say and he looks at me with passionate look and asks me "what's on your mind?"
"Really it's nothing Percy, i was just thinking about how weird it was that one minute you get picked on and the next your best buddies?"
"Oh ha yeah; now that you say that it is kind of weird". We rode the ride home in silence with Percy's arms around me. What a perfect day? When it was our turn to get off the bus Hayden yelled out "see you later love birds" he smiled and winked.
As we were walking home Percy said to me "you know, the first time i saw you i had a crush on you straight away."
"Really? Well the first time i saw you i felt sorry for you because you had no friends and you were always getting picked on. And i thought you were a cute nerd" he smiled at me and then said with a frowned face "you thought i was a cute nerd?"
"Yeah and now that i get to know you better i realise how lucky i am to have someone like you in my life" i say smiling
"Awe thanks and i can say the same to you. "He then let go of my hand and moved his hands up to my face and cupped them around my cheeks and looked me straight in the eyes. "i really and truly love you and i promise that i will never hurt you" he said and my face went red and flushed. He must have realised because he was laughing.
"Hey don't laugh" i said hitting his arm playfully, but i smiled anyway. He then leaned down and kissed me and we both closed our eyes and just enjoyed the moment while it lasted. It was passionate and amazing and wonderful that i could go on forever with many words. I moved my hands from my side and grabbed Percy's shirt and leaned up on my tips of my toes to deepen the kiss. Percy moved his hands from my cheeks to my neck so that his thumbs were rubbing against my cheek near my ear. It was only when some guys went passed hooting their car horns and wolf whistling at us that made us stop. We laughed for a while then Percy said "come on lets take you home". We walked the rest of the way in comfortable silence and when we got to my door i finally asked "hey Percy do you still want to come in and meet my parents?" he put on a nervous face and said "umm?"
"Oh come on Percy you will have to meet them some time, you might as well get it over with and do it right now. And besides you said to Hayden that you were"
"Fine, you're very persuasive you know" he said with smile. "So I've been told" I laughed. We walked inside the front door and into the kitchen. "Hey mum, hey dad" I say as we both walk into the kitchen. Mum was cooking and dad was reading the newspaper, they both look up and look at me and Percy holding hands and smiled.
"Hey dear, how was your day?…..And who's your friend?" both me and Percy look at each and burst out laughing. "What?" my dad asks, then two more figures come in. They were my siblings, "What's going on?" jess asked she was the youngest, she was 5 and Logan was my older brother, he was 17 and really protective of his siblings. He glared at Percy and Percy looked down and stepped back.
"Ella, what happened at school should I be worried?" Mum said in worried tone.
"Honestly mum I'm fine"
"I know but what happened? I want to know"
"Mum! Ahh well if you really want to know, I fell and hit my head and was knocked out" everyone stared at me in shock.
"What?" was all she could say.
"Ok I will repeat myself; I was knocked out at school"
"I know I heard you but how?"
"Well Percy pushed me over" I said giggling and Percy scrunched his face up and said "no I didn't" and I was about to say that I was only joking but I was interrupted by Logan grabbing Percy by the shirt in a chocking position and slamming him against the wall.
"STOP! I yelled, what the hell is Logan doing?.
"Logan! What are you doing?" dad yelled. I stared at Percy's face and saw that he was shocked and scared, his eyes were big and his chin was on his shoulder. Logan's hands were around his neck and his shirt was pulled up reviewing the lower part of his stomach. Percy made a chocking noise and his face was going red. Mum saw Percy's face and said angrily "Logan put Percy down right now!" when he didn't respond i pleaded with him to let Percy go . Percy then made another chocking noise and closed his eyes while scrunching his face up. OH NO! i thought Percy is chocking. "Please Logan please! put him down" he looked at me with a 'are you sure?' look then looked at Percy with the corner of his eyes then said "sorry" and stumbled out of the house. Mum and i rushed over to Percy who was breathing heavily and dad went over to Jessica who was standing behind the wall to the toilet shocked and scared so he took her to her room. I looked at Percy and said "i'm so sorry he is really protective about us" while hugging him.
"Yeah i realise that" he said in my ear with a husky voice, "ow" he said and put his hand up to his throat.
"Aw let me fix that for you" and i leaned over to Percy and kissed him, I felt him smile against my lips. Then mum got uncomfortable and said "i'll go and get something for that sore throat" and she left to and get a cup of... something, i wasn't sure?. I looked up into his eyes and he said "you know kissing me kind of did help." I started to laugh and said "well that's good I'll do it again" and i kissed him again. Then someone behind us cleared their throat, "um excuse me! Ella please stop!" i laughed and said "sorry mum"`
"Thank you! Here Percy have this, it's just a cup of hot chocolate, it'll help smooth your throat it always does the trick." he took the cup and said "thank you". While he was drinking the hot chocolate mum said "maybe i should go and check on Logan" well Percy nearly chocked again. He sprayed his drink out everywhere and practically yelled "NO! Can i?" we looked at him in shock.
"Are you crazy Percy? You want to see him even after what he just did?"
"Yeah" he said seriously, his eyes big and adorable.
"Ok then, but just be careful" he walked out of the house only to come back in and say "do you know where he is?" i chuckled and said "at the park" and he left again. How do I know that? Well that's the place he goes when he's sad. I walked into the kitchen to see mum still cooking and dad coming down the stairs. "Is jess ok? i hope she didn't get scared?"
"Jess is fine she was just a bit shaken up so i took her to her room so she was out of harms way."
"Ok I'm gonna go and see her"
"Ok" and with that i ran up stairs and knocked on her door.
"Come in" came her sweet but high voice. I opened the door and saw that she was playing with a Barbie doll.
"Hey Jess, are you ok?"
"Yeah but fat was scarweey, i've never seen wogan do fat before?" i giggled at the way she said certain words, she had a speech problem. We were getting it fixed don't worry. I went over to her and sat next to her, she came closer and sat in my lap. I hugged her and said "i know"
"You cat get scared your a big girl" i chuckled an said "nah even i get scared sometimes "she looked at me shocked "really?"
"Yep" i said popping up the p. Then she got bored and gave me a doll, we played for a while when we heard the front door open. "Their back" i said and we both got up and went to the door but i decided to pick jess up, just to be on the safe side. When i got down the stairs i saw that Percy and Logan were smiling so i put jess down and she ran up to Logan and gave him a big hug he smiled at her and picked her up. "Why did you get angry wogan?" she asked confused but concerned. His smile fell and he became nervous, he, for the first time, was lost for words. i was going to help but Percy spoke up first, "he was trying to protect Ella" she thought about that for a second when she thought about another question "what was he protecting Ella fom?" now it was Percy's turn to become lost for words so i said "from Percy"
"Why? What did he do?"
"Nothing that's why he walked out" she giggled and said "so wogan was embawest" we all chuckled and Logan went red, "yeah you could say that" i giggled. Then Logan took Jessica out to the family room to play so i took Percy's hand and led him up to my room. (Don't get any ideas we are only going to talk). When i opened my door Percy eyes went big and he smiled. I smiled nervously because my room was really messy, It wasn't normally like this, it's just that i was in a hurry this morning and i didn't know what to wear.
Percy's pov (flash back)
When Logan stumbled out of the house shocked and embarrassed i instantly wanted to talk to him because i new that he was only trying to protect Ella. i walked around the park trying to find him, eventually i found him in a corner of the park twirling a twig through his fingers. He looked up from playing with the twig and had a sad expression on his face.
"Sorry Percy i didn't mean to do that back there, i just lost my temper, did i hurt you?" he looked at me concerned. i shook my head and said "no its cool, i would've done the same thing if I were you" his eyes grew big and he said in worried voice "oh Percy i'm so sorry, i really didn't mean to hurt you i was only protecting Ella, it's what big brothers do" i chuckled and said "yeah i know what you mean" he looked at me with a confused expression "you do" i lost my smile and looked away at the other kids playing on the climbing equipment. "Yeah, with my sister" i looked back at him and i saw that he was still confused "wait you have a sister?" he asked like he didn't believe me, i nodded, "than where is she?" he asked, i became sad and remembered the day we were split. "She's with my dad, her name is violet. Oh and were twins." his eyes nearly popped out of his head and he became still, like he was frozen in time. I waved my hand in front of his face, "Logan? Earth to Logan?" he stopped staring and had a serious look on his face "Percy violet isn't with your dad"
"What do you mean?" i asked confused
"She's here" was all he could say
"Logan what do you mean, if this is a joke it isn't very funny" i was becoming nervous, what did Logan mean he doesn't even know who Violet is 'violet isn't with your dad?' maybe he got some other girl mixed up? But that can't work we look exactly alike.
"Look Percy this isn't a joke i'm being serious, i saw violet today she was on her way to school like i was. We bumped into each other"
"But you don't even know what she looks like? So how do you know her?" after i said that i realised that it was a stupid question.
"Seriously Percy, you both look exactly alike, the first time i saw you i though it it was violet how couldn't I know who she is."
"Well why didn't she come into the school and why didn't you go to school?" I added
"Oh um i took her to the play equipment at the school and we talked, she told me her name, only her first name though, and that she was here to visit her brother because she hadn't seen him in a long time, and then she said that she will see him when he gets home and she left, so i though, well i might as well go home they would have already marked me as away" i stared at him in shock.
"Oh, ok then, well that's makes more sense" i said then he asked the very question that i was trying to avoid.
"Hey Percy why is she visiting you any way, i mean... i don't get it? were you both split up when you were little or what cause?" i closed my eyes to block out the pain that was behind them but open them and looked away so he couldn't see the pain in my eyes, i nervously said, "well when we were 5 our parents were going through a hard time, they kept on fighting and arguing, well we didn't like it so we used to run away; to this little clearing near our house, just to get away from them, and when they finally split up and got a divorce, they split us as well. My dad took violet and i stayed with mum, well it was hell for us, me and mum, i couldn't even talk to her on the phone let alone see her. And ever since then i've stayed on my own. i didn't want any friends because being happy reminded me of her" i glanced at him with the corner of my eyes and then looked down at the grass.
"I'm so sorry Percy, i didn't realise." i looked at him and i saw that he looked sad, so i smiled and said happily "hey you shouldn't be sad i should and besides it's good that she's here because that means i can see her for the first time since we were 5 and that's been what 11 years?" he smiled and we both got up and walked back the house. When we got there Jessica came running towards Logan, he picked her up and smiled. After that whole conversation about why Logan walked out and why he picked me up, Me and Ella went to her room. (haha her room, Wink!) When Ella opened her door, my eyes went big and i smiled. Apart from the fact that her room was really messy it looked nice, you know not the usual girly room, the colour was a dark purpl e with pictures of famous people on her wall, her bed was a black and purple with butterfly's. She had a desk over in the corner near the window and to sum it all up there were cloths all over the floor. Just my type of room expect for the butterflies of course.
"Sorry about my room, i was in a hurry to get ready this morning and i didn't get time to clean it." she then went around picking up cloths and trying to clean her room.
"Na it's cool, man i wasn't expecting your room to look like this!" i smiled at her and she looked at me nervously "you don't mind?" i looked at her and said sarcastically "you've got to be joking have you seen my room lately? it's a pig sty! this is really clean compared to my room" she laughed at me. She walked over to me and grabbed my cheeks and said "and thats why i love you" she then let go of my cheeks and gave me a quick peck on the lips. Then i remembered the talk i had with Logan and lost my smile.
"What's wrong Percy?" she asked concerned
"Ella there's something i need to tell you"
"your not going to say that you kissed a girl or something cause i really wouldn't care as long as you don't do it again and that you tell me cause if you didn't i would get really angry and you don't want to see me angry and don't worry I have my ways of finding out peoples secrets so be careful" she said that all in one breath, so she was breathing really heavily, and needed me to help her stay up, so i grabbed her arms before she fell.
"Woah girl" i said "you need to remember to breath when your talking", she just giggled and giggled and giggled and eventually she was in a laughing fit and couldn't stop. I had to hold her cause her legs gave way and she fell. I picked her up in bridal style.
"Holy moly Ella you need to stop, i'm gonna put you down cause i don't want to drop you, your laughing to much" so i carried her over to the bed and laid her down, i could feel her shacking against my chest from all the laughing, but when i put her on the bed she just turned over and continued to laugh.
"Oh my gosh Ella, i didn't realise that i was this funny" but that made matters worse, she laughed even harder. Eventually her face started to go red and her laughing died down. Her breathing became a sharp breath every 5 seconds. She couldn't breathe properly because all the laughing took all the air out of her. Then her eyes started to roll inside her head and eventually she blacked out. Umm i think she will be ok? i wasn't sure so i ran down the stairs and saw her parents, "Ella has blacked out and can't breath properly" i blurted out but that was all that needed to be said because they ran up the stares and started to help Ella so i just staid back let them do their thing. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs,
"What happened to Ella this time?" Logan asked, i saw Jessica pop around from behind him.
"She was in a laughing fit and blacked out" i said
"Oh" he said that like it was a normal thing,
"She will be fine, Percy can you please watch her and keep on wetting her face, to keep her cool; we don't want her to heat up." Mrs. Flyson said, (oh that's their last name by the way). Then everyone left and i walked over to Ella and put the wet cloth on her forehead. Her breathing was back to normal but she was still unconscious. Then her bedroom door opened and Mr Flyson came in and asked "What exactly happened to Ella by the way?" i chuckled a bit and said "she was in a laughing fit and couldn't stop so she blacked out" he just nodded his head like he was thinking hard.
"Is this normal for you guys or something because i seem like the only one who's freaking out?" he laughed and clapped his hand to my back shoulder.
"Don't worry Percy she used to do this all the time, only it stopped after she broke up with her last boyfriend, and we haven't seen it for a while so it was a bit of a shock because it happened so randomly."
"How come you haven't seen her laughing like this for a while? And why did she start now? Sorry sir i don't quite understand" he smiled and said "Percy she used to laugh like that all the time but when she broke up with her last boyfriend she lost it, she wasn't happy, she was lonely and she just wasn't herself. So now that you've come along her old self has finally caught up with her, so when she laughs, well she get's over excited and can't stop so she faints, but just remember when your with her and it starts to happens make sure she breaths properly, make her sit down and make sure she doesn't heat up!" he smiled and i smiled back and said "ok you have my word" he smiled again and went to the door but just before he opened it he turned around and said "Percy you'll be good for her, you will make her happy again. You'll make her be her old self, but please don't hurt her cause it'll crush her and I won't be to happy"
"Don't worry Mr Flyson i promise i wont hurt her, i couldn't do that to her, I love her" i looked at Ella when i said that last bit, then i looked back at Mr Flyson, he smiled and closed the door.
"Percy?" i heard someone say, i looked down at Ella and saw that she was starting to wake up. "Ella" i said surprised and sat on the bed next to her, she sat up and lent against my side. i stroked her hair and asked "are you ok cause you really scared me?" she chuckled and said "sorry, i'll be fine don't worry, this doesn't normally happen, actually it's a bit of a log story"
"Well i had this conversation with your dad and he told me."
"Oh" she looked up at me with a worried look on her face and said "sorry, i hope you didn't find it to uncomfortable because i can talk to my dad about it if-" i cut her off by kissing her. Man she talks too much. "Percy?-" i put my finger to her lip to make her stop talking again,
"Shhh you need to stop talking, and don't worry i totally understand. But i do have one question, you don't have to answer it if it's to personal or uncomfortable for you." she looked at me suspiciously. "What happened to your last boyfriend? How did you break up?"
"Oh, um" she got uncomfortable,
"Don't answer that stupid question; it was silly for me to ask it in the first place"
"No its ok, i'm just uncomfortable because, wont it be weird for you though?"
"No!" i said seriously,
"Ok then, well his name was Luke calastian, we were happy together but when he made new friends he went into the drugs and smoking, he changed and wasn't himself, he used to get angry about the littlest things and sometimes hurt me if i didn't do what he said, so i ended it, and he left"
"Oh Ella, I'm so sorry, I promise i won't ever do that to you" i said pulling her into a hug.
"Thanks Percy, oh yeah what were you going to tell me, that was before i blacked out?" she smiled but i didn't, "um?, look Ella it's nothing, i'll tell you another day, you've been through a lot today!" she hit my arm playfully and said "don't be silly, what is it?, i'll be able to handle it" she sounded so sure an i really didn't think that she could handle it, "ok then, but just remember, i warned you," i took a deep breath and said "well i have a twin sister that i haven't seen since i was 5 and now she is back" she just stared at me in shock. Her mouth was on the floor and her eyes were wide. "What?". I smiled and said "i told you, it's to much for you to handle" she shook her head "no no it's not that- it's, i mean- you have a twin sister? That you haven't seen since you were 5?" she said that like she didn't believe me.
"Yeah" i said awkwardly,
"Oh my gosh Percy that's amazing, that's- you have a sister, we can hang out, go shopping, do things together!" she basically yelled. She was so excited that she got up and started jumping around and squealing like a little girl who just saw the One Direction boys.
"Ella- Ella stop you might get dizzy and faint again?" just as i said that she stopped jumping around and put her hands up to her head and stumbled to the ground; luckily i dived out and grabbed her arms before she landed on the ground. "Ella!"
"Whoa! Oh thanks Percy, yeah i should be more careful" i bran her over to the bed and when we sat down i started to play with the bottom of my shirt.
"Percy what's wrong?"i looked up and saw that Ella looked very concerned when she looked very happy and was full of excitement with that sparkle in her eyes just 1 minute ago.
"Nothing it's just that i can't believe she's here, i mean it's been what 11 years; it's hard to comprehend that she's really here" i looked down again.
"Hey" she said with such passion and concern that i had to look up, "it's ok! i'll be there for you every step of the way, so don't worry, it will sink in, and when it does you'll be glad!" She then smiled that beautiful smile that makes my heart melt and grabbed my hand and started to rub her thumb on it. "Percy it's getting late, your mum and sister will be wondering where you are?"
"Yeah i know, and uh-will you come?" she leaned towards me and when we were only an inch apart she said "i'd love to come" and kissed me, then she got up; still holding my hand, and led me out of her room, down the stairs and to the kitchen. "Ella! How are you?" her mum said, when we finally got there.
"Yeah i feel great, i just have to be careful" her mum got serious and said "Yeah" then she turned to look at me "and you mister, watch her, for everyone's sake" she pointed a finger at me then at Ella. Ella pulled a weird face and said awkwardly "um? Ok. Mum do you know where Logan is we need him to take Percy home"
"Um i think he is in the lounge room with jess" we went to walk away when Ella's mum called out "oh and Ella you have your driving test next week on Tuesday afternoon, so don't forget, and remember to study"
"Okay" Ella groaned,
"You're getting your L's next Tuesday?" i asked, she smiled and said "yeah! When do you get yours?"
"This Saturday" she smiled again and asked "awe, can i come?" i smiled again and asked "as long as i can come to yours?"
"Awesome then we have our self a deal" i shook her hand agreeing to it, When we walked into the living room i saw that Logan was playing dress ups with jess. So she was half in a princess outfit and he was wearing a pirate costume that was slightly to small for him. I laughed and he looked up.
"Hey Logan we need you to take Percy home and what are you wearing" he got up and said "yeah sure and can't you see that it's a pirates costume only a couple of sizes to small". He got embarrassed and started to take it off "Awe no don't take it of Logan I'm sure Violet will love to see you wearing it" I laughed "hahaha very funny Percy" he then walked passed us, grabbed his keys an walked out to his 4 seated Ute. His car was silvery/blue in colour and was shiny, he must really love his car if he kept it that clean?
Ella's pov
We were sitting in the car with the windows down; Percy and I were in the back holding hands, while Logan was driving. I happen to glance at Percy and when i did i saw that he looked really worried and nervous. I squeezed his hand "hey it's okay" he looked at me from staring out the window, his hair was flapping in the wind and OMG he looked hot, i just cant seem to take my stare away from those enchanting sea green eyes. "i know it's just that i'm really nervous, i mean it's the first time that i have seen her in 11 years, what's she like?, how will she react? How much has she changed? Will she even remember me? there's just so much going through my head that i think it might explode." he smiled at me nervously, i smiled back and squeezed his hand again "don't worry Percy everything will be fine, and i'm sure she will remember you." before he could say anything else i leaned up and pulled his head down so i could reach his lips and kiss him. i heard Logan chuckling in the front seat, "shut up Logan" i ordered, He chuckled and said "i didn't say anything" i smiled and put my head on Percy's shoulder, who was looking out the window again, i could feel the wind blowing on my face, and every now and then i would notice Percy glance at me and stare, but i would close my eyes and make it look like i didn't notice. Then before i new it i was asleep and i know that Percy lives close to me but i fall asleep really easily and the rocking of the car and the warmth from Percy was just to relaxing that i couldn't resist.
"Ella!" i heard someone calling my name over and over again,
"Logan she is such a deep sleeper, i can't wake her up!"
"Don't worry, the only way to wake her up is by.." he said the last part in a whisper so i couldn't hear. Then i hear foot steps walking away indicating that Logan has gone to the door to get Percy's mum. Then i feel Percy moving his hands towards my back and then whisper in my ear "i know where your weak spot is" and started to tickle me. Oh no, i thought, this can't be good, your in so much trouble Logan. I burst out laughing and was wriggling around screaming,
"Stop Percy stop" i said between fits of laughter, "i'm awake, i'm awake stop please" he finally stopped an i was breathing hard and Percy was laughing. By this stage i had fallen and was lying on my side and Percy was leaning over me holding onto the head rest laughing his head off. " I should be careful when you are laughing because we don't want you to faint all the time, but now i know where your weak spot is for when you need a cheering -" he got cut of by a tapping at the window. When we both stopped laughing and looked up an saw a very angry lady,
"Is that your mum Percy?" i asked wondering
"Yeah and she looks pretty angry" he said with big eyes. We got out of the car and Percy said nervously "hey mum", behind Percy's mum; Logan was laughing silently and i gave him a death look and he stopped.
"What on earth are you doing Percy? Where have you been? Do you realise how worried i have been? Sorry dear it's nice to meet you i'm Percy's mother, sally, Percy you should know better, haven't i said to call me if you're going to home late?"
"Sorry mum its just that a lot of crazy thing's have happened today" i cleared my throat and elbowed Percy in the ribs, he said "oh yeah this is Ella Flyson mum, my- my uh girlfriend" well the expression on her face went from angry to a surprised/ happy look.
"Girlfriend?" a new voice spoke; it sounded like a girl. i looked at Percy and he looked like he recognized the voice but wasn't sure. Then a girl stepped out of the house, she looked exactly like Percy with the black shiny hair only longer, the beautiful sea green eyes, the same perfect tan. The only difference is that Percy is more muscular and the fact that Percy is a boy and she is a girl. I looked at Percy and saw that he had a pained expression on his face, like he remembered a memory he didn't want to.
"Percy"
"Violet" they both said their names at the same time and just stared, they didn't even move a muscle not even blink which i found very hard to do, but the weird thing is that their faces changed from pained to shocked at the same time, i guess there is such thing as an empathy link between twins. Violet made the first move by yelling out "Percy oh my gosh it's really you" and ran up to him and squishing the life out if him in a bear hug, he was stiff at first but once he got squished to death by his sister he couldn't breath, "ahhh can't breath violet" he said in a hoarse voice.
"Sorry! Percy, oh man i've missed you! How have you been? and what was that thing about you having a girlfriend? Before me?" Percy got embarrassed and chuckled then looked down and started to play with the bottom of his shirt, the way he does when he's nervous or thinking about something important.
