Ell slowly sat up in her bed rubbing her eyes. She yawned and stretched. She wanted to go back to sleep but she had to get ready for school.
"Ugh." She sighed loudly getting up from her bed and jumping into the shower. She let the steaming water wake her up.
She blow-dried her hair and went to her room still wrapped in her towel. She rummaged through her clothes getting her uniform. She grimaced as she put it on. She hated her ugly uniform. She walked over to her mirror and changed her tongue ring to a bright pink. She put her make up on, a little darker today because she just felt like it. She smiled at herself in the mirror and grabbed her book back as she slipped on her shoes.
"And we march to the feared gates of Hades." Ell said walking out of her room and into the hall.
"Hey! Are you ready? Lets go." Ell yelled for Bailey. She wasn't in a rush to get to school. But she wanted to get through it as quick as possible. Then her cell phone rang. It was her favorite song by Otep 'Perfectly Flawed', she listened for a minute before answering.
"You're perfectly flawed. You're perfectly incomplete, a work in progress imperfections make you unique"
"Hello." She said with a sigh.
"Hey bitch." Acelynn said. Acelynn was her friend. She was short, skinny, and had blond hair. She was always so damn hyper.
"Hey, whats up?" Ell asked as she walked downstairs and to the kitchen.
"Ugh nothin, that's the problem." She could hear Acelynn laughin. It was pretty dull around here she thought.
"I know what you mean. Its so fucking boring around here." She was looking through the frig looking for something. She gave up quickly and grabbed a bottle of water. She took a drink and sat it on the counter and leaned against it.
"Hey I hope you don't mind but I can't take you to school this morning." Ell sighed internally.
"No its fine I'll just get a ride with Bailey." She rubbed the back of her neck and played with the lid of her water.
"Shit! I gotta go. I'll see you at school." The line went dead and she shoved her phone in her bag. She stood and grabbed her water and headed for the door. Just then Bailey was there behind her.
"Hey I'm gonna ride with you this morning kay." Ell said opening the front door.
"Sure no problem." They walked to the car together.
She walked around to her side and slide in. She watched as Bailey jumped in and started the car. She looked hyper and happy Ell thought.
"So, did you get laid or what?" Ell asked her older sister. It had been a while since she had seen her sister like this. She narrowed her eyes in suspicion wondering what it was.
"No!" Bailey said shock in her eyes. Ell started to laugh but thought better of it.
"Well then what?" Ell kept her eyes on Bailey watching her carefully. She clicked her tongue ring against her teeth.
"Well…last night…Tyler told me he loved me." Ell's eyes went wide and her mouth dropped open. Wow, she thought to herself.
"And…" She pressed for more. She didn't have much patience, she fidgeted as she sat there.
"And he said that he loved Adora, and…I told him that I love him too." Bailey was smiling from ear to ear. Ell couldn't help but think of Reid. She really like him and they had fun together. She thought that he was sexy as hell with his smoldering eyes and blonde hair in his eyes. She even liked the way he always played with his fingerless gloves. And the fact that he was the bad boy type just added on for her. She pictured his face in her mind. She quickly snapped back to reality and blinked.
"I'm so happy for you." Ell told her smiling at her.
"Oh, and we are going to the dance together, I don't know if I told you or not." Ell looked over at her sister as they pulled into a parking spot at school.
"Damn." She dragged the word out. She wanted to go to the dance too but she was waiting for Reid to ask her. If he was going to ask her she thought. She got out of the car swiftly throwing her bag strap over her shoulder. She walked into the school and spotted Reid. She quickly made her way over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him into a kiss. She smiled into his mouth. He smiled in return.
"So sexy what are you up to?" Ell played with him. He rolled his eyes but kept the smile in his lips.
"Nothin just needed to talk to you." He told her playing with his gloves. She narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips.
"What….did you do some thing bad?" Ell said not sure what was going to come out of his mouth.
"What! Why would you fuckin think that?" He asked her. She lifted her eyebrow at him.
"Well, I never know with you?" She teased him.
"Besides, I'm usually right when it comes to you." She laughed then, they drifted down the hall way together.
"What the fuck ever." He told her and stopped. He grabbed her arm and turned her to face him.
"What?" Ell said anger lacing her words.
"I just wanted to ask you something Damnit." He told her his eyes smoldering again making her sigh internally.
"Then ask." Ell said a little sharper than she intended.
"Well I was but you side tracked me. Now! I was wondering if you would go to the dance with me." Ell felt her mouth drop open and her eyes bulge slightly. She couldn't speak, there were no words coming out of her mouth. She just stared into his eyes. She could tell that he was get angry because she was making him wait for an answer. She shook her head and smiled.
"Yes, I would like that. It took you fuckin long enough. DAMN!" She smiled at him. Her heart fluttered, she was going to the dance with Reid. Reid who was sexy, and gorgeous, and damn….she thought. She quickly pulled him in and kissed him passionately. Their lips moved together as they got lost in the kiss. Then the sharp ugly ring of the bell sounded and they both pulled back. He stuck his hand out and she twined her hand with his. They walked down the hall together and Ell couldn't keep the smile off of her face.
She went to her class reluctantly and thought about nothing but Reid. She was in her own world for her next two classes. She could not say what they teachers had lectured about or if there were many people in her class besides her. Her mind was swirling with images of Reid and the fact that he had asked her to the dance, she couldn't believe it. Then the bell for lunch rang and she snapped back to reality. She gathered her things and headed for lunch were Reid was. She smiled as she left her class room.
She drifted through the halls and finally go to the lunch room. She spotted Bailey and they walked through the line together to get their food. She guessed Bailey picked up on her good mood.
"So, what's with the smiles and the jitteriness?" Bailey asked her with her eyebrow up a good inch. She looked over at her.
"Nothin." An evil grin pulled the corners of her lips up.
"Oh really….I think there is." Bailey said turning to look at her.
"Nothin just….Reid asked me to the dance" She said casually.
"What!?" Bailey half screeched. Ell chuckled darkly and ran her tongue ring against her lips.
"Yeah this morning. I still can't believe it." Ell said grabbing her tray of food.
"Shit." Was all that Bailey said. They walked to their lunch table together in silence. Ell sat next to Reid who was already at the table. She put her tray in front of her and looked over at him. His eyes were boring into hers. She smiled at him and started eating her food.
"So we still need to make plans to go dress shopping since we are all going." Bailey said winking at Ell and smiling. Sarah and Kate stared wide eyed at Ell and Reid. Ell felt heat rising into her cheeks.
"Yeah…" Ell said shoving some food in her mouth because she didn't know what else to say. She chewed slowly not in any hurry to be the center of attention.
Lunch went on with talk of the dance and other things. She and Reid were walking out of the lunch room. They both stopped and stood against the wall. She looked into his eyes and smiled. She went to him and leaned against him. She kissed from his ear to his collar bone. She felt him shiver under her touch. She smiled and kissed his neck, then his chin and finally his mouth. She could feel his need for her growing and she smiled into his mouth. She let a giggle pass from her lips and she pulled back.
"I gotta go to class." Ell said with a sigh. "You should come over later." She added hopping.
"Sure." Was all he said. She walked silently to her next class smiling brightly unable to stop it. She sat down at her usual desk and was instantly lost in her thoughts.
She was sitting there her head swirling with the remembrance of Reid's lips on hers. Then the next thing she knew it school was over. She was glade. She grabbed her bag and sling over her shoulder and went to the parking lot. She quickly found Acelynn standing next to her car.
"Hey." Ell called waving at her friend. She smiled and walked next to her.
"Do you mind to ride with me? I have to pick something up quickly before I drop you off at your house." Ell felt her eyes narrow in wonder of what she needed but shrugged it off.
"Sure, so where are we going?" Ell asked her. Suddenly there was a gust of wind and it wiped her hair into her face and sent a chill down her spine. She hugged herself as she slide into the passenger side seat.
"I just need to pick something up for my mom." She shrugged and looked out of the window.
They were driving out of the parking lot and Ell reached for the stereo and found a song she liked. She smiled as she sang along as did Acelynn. They were both laughing when the song ended. A leaf flew in the car, they were flying all around the car as they drove over them. Ell threw it out of her window and looked around her. They had been driving for a while and she didn't know exactly where they were she quickly rolled up her window. Another song had come on and Acelynn was singing, Ell joined in and they were laughing and singing when all of a sudden Ell saw a car in her peripheral vision and gasped, it was coming strait for them.
She braced herself for the impact and as the cars collided she could hear a high painful sound. It was the cars metal fusing from the force of the hit. The car was knocked sideways and Ell felt her head smack against her window, she could hear a crack. Her breathing was coming in gasps her eyes shifting around her and she could feel blood snaking down her head and covered her shoulder. The car came to a stop and everything was silent.
The only thing she could hear was her uneven breathing and her erratic heart beating painfully in her chest. She felt for her door handle and she noticed that her hands were shaking. She opened her door and stood. She ran around to Acelynn's side afraid of what she would see. She felt tears sting her eyes and run down her cheeks. She leaned down and saw Acelynn unconscious. She had blood on the side of her face. She felt for a pulse and was relieved when she found a slow steady pulse. She got her phone out and dialed nine-one-one.
"Hello, nine-one-one emergency operator how may I help you?" Ell breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes me and my friend have been in a accident, someone hit us I…" She was cut off by the operator.
"Calm down, now tell me where you are." She was getting aggravated.
"I'm not sure…I.." She looked around her franticly to find a sign to tell her where she was but saw none.
"Okay, now tell about your friend is she okay?" Ell toke a deep breathe trying to steady herself. Her head was hurting badly.
"She is unconscious but I felt her pulse…there was blood running from her head…" Ell reached out and leaned against the car. She was feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
"Okay there will be an ambulance there shortly, I have tracked you down on my screen. Now, I need you to stay on the phone with me miss."
She put one hand on her knee and leaned forward. She tried to slow her breathing. Her head was throbbing and she was feeling everything start to slip away. The wind stung her eyes as it wiped past her. She blinked rapidly trying to stay focused.
"Miss, are you there?" She heard the voice on her phone but couldn't answer.
She stood up and started dragging her legs to Acelynn. But half way there her legs just stopped. She dropped her phone and was unable to move. She felt more tears stream from her eyes and she thought of Reid. She could see his face in her memories. She remember their kiss just earlier that day. Then without her permission her body gave out beneath her and she collapsed on the ground. She still saw Reid's face but then everything went black and she was drifting in darkness. She tried to will herself back to consciousness but she couldn't find the strength. She was being dragged under and she thought that she would never resurface. Then so quickly it was all over.
