ELLIE POVI lay in bed Sean next to me just how it should have been from the start. Today was the day Dad was coming home and I was so excited my mom was picking me up here and driving to the hospital (sober honest) Sean was staying here. He said he didn't want to interrupt the family reunion and thought I should go alone.
I rolled out of bed and let my cold feet touch the floor I pulled on a long sleeve shirt and a pair of shorts and made my way downstairs.
" Hey Marco." I said seeing the boy in the kitchen
" Hey El break feast will be ready soon… Are excited for today your dad coming home and all?" He asked me flipping one of the pancakes on to the plate without using a spatula. Show off. I smiled and nodded
" Extremely" he smiled and pushed a plate filled with food towards me I laughed and started on the pile of food. I heard footsteps and turned towards the stairs Sean Came down fully dressed and ready to go.
" Got to go to the shop early today." He said and I nodded. Sean came over to me and we kissed until Marco cleared his voice
" Um Sean don't you think you should get going." He asked Sean I blushed and he pulled a pancake and a piece of bacon off the pile on my plate and I laughed he pecked me on the cheek and left
" Bye El, Marco." He yelled
" Bye." With that he was gone. I sighed and finished what was on my plate.
2 hours later I was sitting in the living room when I heard a car horn beep from outside the house. I grabbed my coat and headed outside. My mom was waiting in our beat up old altima. I got in the car and smiled at my mom.
" Ready." I said and she took off. The ride to the hospital was awkward and uncomfortable we were both excited to see my father but didn't really know what to say to each other. The last time I had been in a room alone with her was the night we found out about the bombing and the night she started drinking again.
" We're here." She said stating the obvious. We both got out of the car and headed towards me dad's room he was sitting in a chair by his bed with a packed bag with all his stuff sitting on the bed.
" Hey." He said " My two favorite girls." He pulled us into a tight hug not noticing the awkwardness between my mom and I. We checked him out and made our way to mom's house.
SEAN POVI watched as Ellie's mom's car pulled out of the house and then went back inside. Marco and Paige were sitting on the couch in the living room and jumped up when they saw me.
" Ok Ellie said she would be with her dad until after dinner which is like at 5: 30ish so we have until then to get this house ready." I told them and then rushed outside. Today was the day I as going to ask Ellie to marry me and I wanted to make it special I wanted to reenact the day we met there was an old pipe n the back yard and I pulled that In to the middle of the yard. After that I hung lights up outside Marco and Paige were calling people for Ellie's surprise party later. But there was one thing missing.
I ran to me and Ellie's room and pulled a box of all my stuff out from under the bed I threw all the contents aside and searched through it. Something silver caught my eye and I grabbed it Ellie's old tape recorder. Just what I was looking for I played it and heard Ellie's sixteen year old voice greet me and then I heard mine, remembering that day always brought tears to my eyes. I smiled to myself and went back downstairs bags of chips were all over the table and a bowl of alcoholic punch sat in the middle.
5:30 approached fast and guests were slowly arriving. It was 6:00 and everyone was here we shut the lights off and heard Ellie's voice from outside I walked out of the door and grabbed her hand pulling her in to the backyard she leaned against the fence in the backyard and I kissed her hard on the lips. I walked towards the pipe pressing the play button on the tape recorder in my pocket.
"I didn't expect so much space." Ellie's voice said
" You carry that bag with you everywhere don't you?" Ellie looked at me with tears in her eyes
" It' a syco girl thing emphasis on the syco." I smiled at the memory
" I think you're cute."
"Guess I got to you."
" Dream on." My sixteen-year-old voice laughed and I leaned back and fell to the ground. She followed my lead and laid back.
" You don't seem scared of me."
" No… You don't seem freaked by me."
" Nope." I pressed the stop button on the tape recorder and entwined my hand in her's I sat up and got on one knee
" Are you freaked now?" I asked her stared at me I pulled out a jewelry box from my back pocket and opened it there was a simple diamond ring inside and she gasped and said
" Yes." She said I smiled
" Yes you will marry me or yes your freaked." She laughed and kissed me before saying.
" Both. I kissed her back and yelled
" She said yes!!!" The group cheered from the porch Ellie looked at me
" Happy birthday El." I said. Things were finally perfect
