Chapter 21
The most memorable saturday
(Seth's P.O.V)
I couldn't get to her in time.
The car hit her and then kept driving.
The person driving had to be atleast no more than 17 or 18.
It was very obvious that they were drunk. The car drove off and then there was Ella...lying on the ground...and their was her vampire sister...Sasha.
I froze dead in my tracks when I caught her stare...before I could even take another step, Sasha was gone.
Ella just layed there on the side of the road...not moving.
I ran over to where she was and lifted her up so half of her body was in my arms.
"Ella...Ella wake up." I said trying to shake her awake.
Thank god she's still breathing.
Ella eyes slit open.
"Seth," Ella breathed before she became unconsious again.
"No Ella stay awake." I said as I shaked her gentley.
She wouldn't budge. Now I was really scared.
"You're gonna be okay Elle." I said frantically.
So much for protecting her... My imprint just got hit by drunk driver and I didn't move fast enough to push her out of the way.
It's all my fault.
I pulled out my cell and dialed Jake's number.
Lucky for us he answered on the first ring.
"Where the hell are you guys?" Jake hissed into the phone.
"Jacob! We have to get help!" I panicked.
"Seth what happened?" Jacob asked.
"Something bad's happened. It's Ella. She got hit by a car. You guys have to get over here quick! We're on the main road." I yelled.
"Hold on Seth. We're coming." Jacob hung up the phone.
"I'm gonna get you some help." I said to Ella as I carefully picked her up off the ground and into my arms.
She gasped in pain when I had picked her up.
Now I really had to be gentle with her. She's already been hurt enough as it is.
I could hear Jacob's rusty car from around the corner.
The headlights shined brightly in my face.
"Get in the car!" Jacob shouted.
Tony got out the back seat and opened the door.
I quickly got in as quick as I could, still holding Ella in my arms.
"We're going to Forks Hospital." Jacob said as he sped down the road.
We made it to Forks in 20 minutes.
Ella was still unconsious when I carried her out of the car. Tony rushed into the ER right behind me.
Lucky for me Carlisle was there.
"I'll take this one." Carlisle said to the lady sitting behind the check in desk.
"Carlisle." I said as he approached us.
"You have to help my sister." Tony pleaded.
"Right this way." Carlisle said leading us down the hall.
"So what happened?" He asked us.
"A car came out of no where and hit her. We were walking home from a party. She go knocked over onto the side of the road and landed on her side. Ella was unconsious when I picked her up. I think she might have broken a few ribs." I explained
"I'll take a few X-rays to see if anythings broken. Until then I want you boys to go in the waiting room." Carlisle told us.
I set her down gently on one of the hospital beds and then Tony and I walked out.
Jacob, Quil, Macy, Lucy, Jared, Kim, Embry and then a few other people I knew were sitting down in the waiting room...
All we do now is hope for the best...I just want her to be okay.
...1 hour later...
It's 1:30 am and we still haven't found out anything about Ella's well being.
Her parents got here about 30 minutes ago. They practically ran into the waiting room and were very shocked to see us all here.
The first thing they did was ask us all what happened.
I was the only one who could tell them what really happened seeing that I saw the whole thing.
All of us thought it best to lie and make up a story that what some what similar...Plus Tony told me that his dad wouldn't like the real story.
"Ella and I were walking home. No one was on the road, I was only a few feet away from when the car came out of no where and hit here off to the side of the road and kept driving. I tried to push her out of the way and I didn't make it."
That's pretty much the best I could come up with on a short notice.
Luckily it was good enough for them.
Mrs. Gardner was very upset and worried.
Mr. Gardner didn't say much after I had explained what happened.
"You did what you could. It's not your fault son." He said patting me on the back.
"All of you guys should go home. You must be exhausted. We'll let you know what's going on as soon as we can." Mrs. Gardner told everyone.
8 of our friends just looked at Ella's parents, nodded and then walked out the door.
I was the only one who chose not to leave.
"Seth you should go home. You look very tired. Don't worry, we'll call your mom in the morning so she can give you an update." Mrs. Gardner assured me.
I shook my head.
"I'm not so sure if I can do that. I really feel as if I should stay. Please?" I begged.
Tony pulled his father aside.
"Dad...let him stay. Ella really cares about him...and the truth is...he really cares about her. I think you should let Ella date him. Better yet let Ella be his girlfriend. Trust me on this one. Seth's a good kid." Tony whispered very quietly in his father's ear not knowing that I heard what he said word for word.
Mr. Gardner just looked at his son and nodded.
Then he walked over to me.
"You must really like my daughter if you're willing to stay here and wait for lord knows how long just to know if my daughter is okay. You're a good kid Seth. Stay." Mr. Gardner said.
"Thank you sir." I sighed.
He gave me a good pat on my shoulder and then went to go sit down with his wife.
Tony sat down across the room right next to me.
"Thanks man." I muttered.
"No problem. I know my sister, and I'm pretty sure that she'll be wanting to see once she wakes up. You'd be surprised as to how fast my sister bounces back. She'll understand once you explain everything. Plus I know you wouldn't kiss that Nina chick." Tony said.
I just looked at him and gave nodded.
It's good to know that I'm very good ends with her brother.
Tony's a good friend.
Then Carlisle walked back into the room and approached me.
"Are her parents here yet?" He asked me.
"There sitting right over here." Tony and I stood up and walked over to where his parents were sitting.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Gardner, I'm Dr. Cullen. I've been treating your daughter Ella." He said.
Both of them stood up and shook Carlisle hand and were a little startled by how cold his hand was.
"How is she?" Mrs. Gardner asked.
Carlisle looked at his clipped board.
"You daughter has two broken ribs on her left side. It could take about 6 weeks for both of them to heal completely. I put her on a prescrpition for some pain medication so she won't be in too much discomfort when she breathes. Ella has a slight concusion but that won't last long at all. Other than that, she seems to be doing fine. We want to keep her overnight just make sure she's okay. You'll be able to take her home in the morning. She's awake and has been asking for the two of you." Carlisle said.
"Thank you so much." Mr. Gardner told Carlisle.
"She's right this way." Carlisle said leading Ella's parents down the hall.
Tony gave out a big sigh.
"Thank god she's alright, but she's not gonna be so happy about being able to really do anything for the net 3 to 6 weeks." Tony muttered.
"I think she can manage not dancing for a few weeks." I told him.
"I highly doubt that." Tony chuckled.
"I'm just glad she's okay." I muttered.
"What I don't get is why the two of you aren't d—" Before Tony could finish what he was saying, Mrs. Gardner walked back into the room.
"Seth...she wants to see you." She told me.
"But guys just walked in there." Tony said.
"I know, but now all she keeps asking about is Seth." Mrs. Gardner said.
Mr. Gardner walked back into the room and let out a heavy sigh.
"You have 10 minutes." He said giving me a stern look.
"Yes sir." I told him.
"Room 247" Mr. Gardner said.
"Got it." I assured him.
I slowly walked down to the end of the hall...then I stopped at the last door at the end of the hallway.
The door was open.
"I hope you don't plan on standing in door the whole time." I heard Ella's weak voice say.
I looked up to see her beautiful face looking right at me.
"Hey" I sighed.
"Hey." She breathed.
Ella placed her hand on the side of the bed gesturing for me to come come and sit next to her.
I walked in and sat on the edge of the bed.
"So how are you feeling?" I asked her.
(Ella's P.O.V.)
I feel as if everything that had just happened was a dream...but in reality...I knew it wasn't.
I woke up in a different place. A different setting.
The last thing I remember seeing was Seth's face and then I pretty much blacked out right after that.
I lying in a hospital bed.
My head hurt...and then my side hurt even more.
Especially when I breathe.
I definitley broke something alright...I could feel it...and it hurts like fucking hell.
And then there's an annoying IV that's sticking out of my arm.
So much is going on in my brain right now that I can't even process it all.
"Hello Ella."
I looked up to see a man standing by my bed side.
He obviously was a doctor seeing that he was wearing a long white jacket and had a clip board in his hand. Not to mention he was very pale.
"I'm Dr. Cullen." He said.
"You're Rosalie and Alice's dad?" I asked him.
"That would be correct." He smiled.
I inhaled very deeply, but right when I'm about to exhale I gasp in pain seeing that my left side hurts really bad.
"Take it easy. I'm gonna have the nurse come in and give you some pain medication so you won't be so uncomfortable." He told me.
"Jeez. That car sure did get a good wack at me." I muttered.
"Well you have 2 broken ribs and a concusion." The doctor told me.
"How long will it take for me to heal? I'm on a very busy schedule, especially with my dance training." I said.
"Well you're gonna have to take it easy for the next 6 weeks. I mananged to have you taped up pretty well so you don't cause any severe damage to yourself." He told me.
Shit! No dancing? For 6 weeks? No...absolutely not. That's gonna be a "little" difficult...and when I say a little, I mean a lot!
"That would explain why my back is so stiff and why there's a tight bandange around my waist and lower chest." I said in an irritating tone.
"You have to be very careful." Dr. Cullen warned me.
I just looked at him and nodded.
"What time is it Doc?" I asked him.
"2:02 am" He told me.
"Is Seth he—ow!" I panted placing my hand on my side.
"I'm gonna go get you some of that pain medications. It will work pretty fast so you can try and get some sleep. Be right back—" The doctor said as he was about to walk out the room.
"Wait!" I said.
Dr. Cullen turned arounf.
"Are my parents here?" I asked.
"I can go check right after I get you your meds." He assured me.
"Okay." I sighed
I have no idea what these nurses just put me on...but I'm starting to feel a little "buzzed". Lucky for me the pain was starting to die down.
Then my mom and dad came in.
"Thank the lord you're alright," my mom said as she came and kissed me on the forehead and then sat on the edge of the bed.
"How's my girl doin?" Dad asked me.
"I got hit by a car, I'm in a hospital,I have two broken ribs and a concusion, I can barely move my torso as it is and then to top it off...I won't be able to really do anything for the next 6 weeks or so which means NO DANCING! Not to mention that I'm alot of pain and will mostly likely be high off my ass within the next hour because of this medication they put me on. How do you think I feel Dad?" I spat.
"Ella May Rose, you watch your mouth." My mom scolded.
"I'm sorry. I'm just so frustrated with everything right now. I hate it." I cried as I covered my face with my hands.
"I know sweetie, but you're gonna have to bear with it for now. You'll heal up in no time." My mom assured me.
"Don't cry Elle." My dad told me as he sat down on the other side of my bed placing his hand on my shoulder.
"This really sucks." I whined.
"Well we're just really glad that you're okay. You gave your friends quite a scare. All of them were waiting in the lobby when we got here. They just went home, but we told them that we'll give them an update in the morning. Seth is still here. He's in the waiting ro—" My dad tried to say before I cut him off.
"Seth's here?" I asked.
"Yes Elle but I—" Mom said before I cut her off as well.
"Where is he? I need to see him." I demanded.
"Ella calm down. Why don't you just wait till the morning to see him. You've had a long night and you need to get some sleep—"
"No Daddy, I need to see him now. This can't wait till the morning. I really need to see him." I pleaded.
My parents exchanged a look with each other.
Dad just wiped his face with his hands.
"It's up to you Lance. I'm staying out of this one." My mom said as she walked out of the room.
Now it was just me and my dad.
"Ella May Rose Gardner...how much do you like this boy?" He asked me.
Oh god, what did my dad say to Seth : P.
"Okay, I like him. I like him alot and that's that." I told him.
"Do like this boy enough to actually date him?" He asked me.
I nodded.
My dad gave out a heavy sigh.
"I hope you know that this boy looks like he's about to crash. He's done alot for you in the past few hours so whatever you have to say to him, don't take too long. And...if you feel the same way he does...then the two of you can so called be together, no—"
"Daddy—" I began to say before he put his hand up indicating that he wasn't finished.
"I just want to be sure that you know the rules. He better keep it in his pants or so help me god if he gets you pregnant—"
"Daddy." I said sternly.
"I don't want you doing none of that...it should stay that way for a long time." My dad warned.
I rolled my eyes.
"Ella May I'm serious. I don't want you two doing anything that you know will get you in trouble. Do you understand?" He asked me.
"Yes dad I understand. Plus you know I wouldn't even bother doing that stuff. I have a dancing career I wish to pursue in the very near-distant future" I reminded him.
"That's my girl." My dad said kissing me on the forehead.
"I'll be back." He said as he walked out the door.
Seth's still here...after all that's happened tonight...he's still here.
Maybe he really is telling the truth.
He wants to be with me. I want to be with him.
But why do I feel as if I'm making everything so difficult.
Why didn't I just hear what he had to say before things go way too out of hand?
Then he appeared in the doorway.
He had this blank expression on his face as he stared at the ground.
"I hope you don't plan on standing in door way the whole time." I said very weakly.
Seth looked up and caught my stare.
"Hey" he said.
"Hey." I breathed.
I placed my hand on the side of the bed and gestured him to come sit over here.
Seth came at sat on the edge of the bed.
"So how are you feeling?" He asked me.
"I just went through a tiny temper tantrum with my parents over that one. But, I think you have a good idea as to how I must be feeling seeing that I'm in a hospital." I smiled.
"That would explain why you sound so sarcastic." He said.
"I should warn you that there is a very good chance that I'm high...at this very moment." I whispered.
"No kidding." Seth chuckled.
"Ha—okay don't make me laugh. It hurts." I said taking in a deep breath.
"Doc said you broke two ribs." Seth said.
"Yea...and it sucks ass." I muttered nodding my head.
"Well you're gonna have to take it easy for a while, that's all." He said calmly.
"Yea, that means I won't be able to start dancing again till December. I have my first re—" I began to say before Seth cut me off.
"Ella, shhh—"
"Seth don't shhhh me—" I tried to say before he cut me off again.
"Ella, just relax. It's for the best." He assured me.
"Well don't I feel stupid for standing in the middle of the road." I mumbled to myself.
"Your not stupid." Seth told me.
"Well you're not the one who got hit by fucking drunking driver." I spat.
"Ella please. Save the out rage for later." Seth pleaded.
"Fine." I sighed.
"Well I'm glad you're doing okay, you gave everyone quite a scare." Seth said.
"You especially, you saw the whole thing." I reminded him.
"Worst few hours of my life." He admitted.
"Did you really mean it when you said all that stuff about when we met?" I asked him.
"So you were listening..." He trailed off.
"You had me at it was on a Tuesday. You know...the day we first met. I still remember that day too." I said.
Seth smiled and then took his warm hands into mind and began rubbing them gently.
"That feels so nice." I murmured.
"I really did mean all of that stuff I told you. Especially the last part...where I said I wanted to ki—"
Before Seth could finish what he began to say, I put my hands on the side of his face and gentley crashed his lips against mine.
It was the perfect kiss.
We broke apart and Seth had this surprised/confused look on his face.
I bit my lip and gave him a shy smile.
Seth was still looking at me and then tilted his head down as if he were to say "did that really just happen?"
I just smiled and nodded.
Seth's grin got even bigger after reading the expression on my face.
He brought his face back to mind and we kissed even longer this time.
It's the best feeling in the world.
I feel as if Seth and I just connected on a completely different level...way higher than just plain old hand hand holding.
Now that was a first kiss...screw Clark Whalen.
We broke apart again except this time I was the one with the basful expression on my face.
I tilted my head down so some of my hair was covering my face.
Seth quickly pulled the hair out of my face and placed it behind my ear.
"Much better." I smiled.
There was complete silence...but it only lasted for about 30 seconds.
"So what happens now?" I asked him.
"Well..." Seth paused to take moment to comb his fingers through his hair.
"I guess this means I'm gonna have to sit down and have a chat with your dad." Seth sighed.
I gave him a quick peck on the lips and then said,
"It's a done deal...he already said yes." I smiled.
Seth gave me another brief kiss on the lips.
"Well I guess this means your my girlfriend now." He smiled.
"That would be where you're wrong..." I trailed off.
Seth's expression quickly changed and now he had a frown on his face.
I kissed him again.
"Okay now I'm confused." Seth said shaking his head.
"Well it doesn't just mean that I'm your girlfriend...it also means that you're my boyfriend." I told him.
"So be it." Seth smiled as we leaned to kiss each other once more.
Wow...6 kisses in less than 10 minutes...what a night.
"Wait." Seth said breaking apart from me.
"What's wrong?" I asked him.
"Your dad said I only have 10 minutes...I should get goin. You need to get some rest." Seth said tracing one of his hands down the side of my face.
"Just stay." I insisted.
"I don't think your parents would approve of that idea..." Seth said.
"Fine." I pouted.
Seth kissed me on the forehead this time.
"Get some sleep, I will see you tomorrow." He told me.
"Okay" I smiled bitting my lip.
My boyfriend slowly walked out of the room.
My boyfriend...I just love saying that.
My boyfriend.
It's so much better than I thought it would be.
Before I knew it Seth was back in the room, sitting next to me.
"Did you forget something?" I asked him.
"Yes." He paused leaning in to kiss me for I think is the 7th time.
"Good night." He smiled.
"Good night." I sighed.
The sound of my father's grunting filled the room as we both looked up to see him standing in the door way.
"I was just leaving sir." Seth told my dad.
"I'm sure you were. Now go home, your sister is out in the parking lot waiting for you." My dad said.
"Yes sir, goodnight." Seth said as he walked out of the room.
"Mmmm hmm." My dad mumbled.
Now both of my parents and my brother were in the door way looking at me.
"I have a boyfriend now." I said with a big grin on my face.
My dad's eyes just widened.
"Wait till Megan is this age Dad..." Tony said patting hin on the back.
"Don't remind him." My mom said.
"Okay enough...goodnight" My dad said hitting the light switch.
"Goodnight." I mumbled.
What a great way to end my saturday...
