Chapter 26
Everytime you lie
(Ella's P.O.V)
"OH MY GOD!" I heard someone yell from behind me.
I turned around to see my best friend standing in front of me.
In my house.
In my kitchen.
"CLHOE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs.
We hugged he each other while spinning around in a circle.
"Look at you!" Chloe said staring me up and down.
"Well look at you! You got ride of all the blonde hair!" I said with same amount of enthusiam.
"My mom got sick of the color and kept nagging me in spanish about how need to I be more proud of my Spanish heritage. I almost forgot what my natural hair color looked like ahaha..." She trailed off.
"Well I think the dark brown suites you...and it's very sexy" I said in a deep voice.
"Oh por favor, yo no podía estar de acuerdo con usted más" Chloe said blisfully in spanish.
She pretty much said that she couldn't agree with me more.
Chloe De La Melena and I grew up together. We lived in the same neighborhood for 13 years...and then I moved.
Back when we were babies...are mom's would call us the "diva's in diapers".
Our mom's were in high school together and Chloe's mom took my mom to Barcelona for summer with her family.
Chloe and her family are originally from there...Mom
My mom wanted me and my brother and sisters to be somewhat "bi-lingual" so Chloe's mom taught me how to speak spanish.
Now all of us speak it fluently...
I guess you can say that my 6th period Spanish class is a breeze.
I can speak it fluently...and alot of people don't know that lol.
Everytime I hang out with Chloe...all we do is speak spanish...especially when we don't want anyone else to know what we're talking about.
"No ha cambiado un poco" I replied in Spanish.
"Aww Ella I missed you too! So I see you're still speaking spanish." She smiled.
I rolled my eyes.
"Well duh. I'm taking Spanish in one of my classes right now...pshh, it's so easy!" I bragged.
"I can't believe we're in high school." Chloe sighed.
"Me too...okay come on you have to come upstairs and see my room. I will help you with your stuff." I said grabbing one of her bags and walking up the stairs.
Finally...someone from Vancouver is visiting.
I miss my old friends...well the ones I have left anyway.
I sort of pushed alot of people away afte Sasha's went missing.
I regret pushing them away when all they were trying to do is be good friends and support me.
"Nice." Chloe said walking into my room.
"Thanks." I replied.
Chloe plopped herself onto my bed.
Charlotte walked into my room and looked a little confused as to who was in my room.
Lotty jumped onto the bed.
"Whoa! When the hek did you get a dog?" Chloe said as she sat up and let Charlotte lick her face for a quick second.
"Charlotte, was a birthday present. She's potty trained, she won't bite and on top of that Lotty likes meeting new people. I love her." I told Chloe.
"I want a dog." Chloe pouted.
"You have a cat!" I told her.
"Yea but Rosa is getting pretty lonely...I think I might have to find her a friend." She said.
"Good luck with that one." I muttered.
Chloe walked started exploring my room.
"So how are you liking Union?" I asked her.
Union High School was where I was supposed to go until my parents decided to move.
"It's pretty cool. Choir is amazing...but it's not the same without you. We were suppost to be in Select Treble together—"
"Yea I know. So how's everyone?" I asked her.
By everyone...I meant my old friends.
"Good. We're all still pretty close...except for a fair few like Jazmyn and Malessa. You know how everyone has their so called cliques...but they're good. You seem happy here Ella." Chloe told me.
"I am. You have know idea how much. Everyone here is so nice except for a selected few which I will tell you about later. You're gonna meet some of my new friends—"
"Okay WHO is THIS!" Chloe said pointing to a picture of me and Seth on my wall.
I bit my lip and smiled.
"Well..." I paused to roll my eyes.
"Is this the guy you were telling me about!" Chloe raised her voice.
"Yea...that's my boyfriend." I said with a big smile on my face.
"He's hot! I mean you really hit the jackpot! It's about time you got a boyfriend—"
"And he was my very first kiss." I said with a bashful look on my face.
"Awww I've missed out on sooo much! So are there alot of cute boys in this area?" Chloe asked me with an anxious expression on her face.
I nodded.
"I only have eyes for Seth so I could really care less about what boy is attractive." I shrugged.
"Seth. Seth and Ella...wait what's his last name?" Chloe asked.
"Clearwater—"
"Seth and Ella Clearwater! Even BETTER! I think you two would make beautiful babies—"
"Chloe Marisol De La Melena!" I scolded.
"What?...it's true. Wait a second did you lose your V-card already—"
"No Chloe! No no no no no no no no no no no no. I'm a virgin. I don't want to have sex. Not in high school. Not anytime soon. I want to save myself for marriage." I clarified.
"You say that now. Give it a year or two. You're gonna change mind...I know I did—"
"Chloe you had sex!" I said in a harsh whisper.
I hoped off the bed and closed the door.
"Wel—"
"Okay now you can continue." I said.
"Well there isn't much to say. Cody Virtue, you don't know him but he's a junior at Union, he's in my P.E. class and we became friends instantly. He asked me to be his date to homecoming blah blah blah you get the point...and then we left the dance early. His parents were out of town and we went to his and house...and the rest is history." Chloe said.
WOW.
I'm a really big fan of having a physical relationship...especially in high school.
My parents would kill me.
Seth's mom would kill him.
And on top of that...I don't want kids until I'm completely settled and done with all of my schooling.
That's just about it...okay well kids might have to wait a little longer seeing that I want to become a professional dancer
"Chloe—"
"I don't want to hear it Ella. It was my decision...plus I liked it. It wasn't bad at all and yes it did hu—"
"Okay new subject. I don't really want to know about that. We're gonna meet up with Seth and a few of my other friends later. You're gonna love them." I assured.
"Okay. Should I change first?" Chloe asked, unsure about her casual look of sweatpants and sweatshirt.
"Okay keep the sweatshirt, wear skinny jeans. I'm doing the same except I'm gonna wear the sweatshirt I got from school." I told her.
"Sweet. I wanna see your sweatshirt. You go to La Push High School right?"
"Correct." I smiled.
My cell phone chose to ring at that very moment. I grabbed it off the bed.
It was Seth.
"Hey." I said.
"Wow...even hearing your voice makes me smile." Seth said into the phone.
I giggled.
"Oh lord." Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Who's that in the backround?" Seth asked.
"That would be my friend Chloe. She just got here about an hour ago. So what time can we come over?" I said.
"I was calling to tell you to come over now. Everyone is here." He told me.
I could hear a bunch of people in the backround yelling at me to get over to Seth's house.
"Well I will see in a few minutes babe."
I love it when he calls me that.
"Okay bye."
I hung up.
"So when are we going?" Chloe asked.
"Now!" I said in a panicked voice.
I ran into my closet and the first pair of jeans I set my eyes on, got out of my pajama shorts, put the jeans on, put my sweatshirt on, and then I ran out of my closet...put on Sasha's necklace, then I put on a pair of stud earings, put my hair up in a high pony tail and put on my ugg boots.
"Slow down chica. You're gonna hurt yourself." Chloe told me.
"Been there...done that...did I tell I got hit by a car about a month and a half ago?"
I forgot to mention that to her.
"What?" Chloe squeled.
I shoved my phone and my keys into my pocket.
"I'll explain on the way. Come on!" I said heading for the door that led outside to my balcony.
"Ella the door is this way—"
"Need to know I have two exits...this way is faster." I explained.
"What are gonna do? Jump out the window?" Chloe said acting like I was crazy.
"Just come on!" I said in a hurry.
Chloe followed me outside and I quickly locked the door.
"See," I said point towards the stairs.
"Ohhhhhhhh." Chloe said nodding her head.
On the way to Seth's house I told her everything that happened the night I got hit by that stupid car.
We were talking about the whole incident in nothing BUT Spanish.
By the time we got into the drive way, everyone was waiting outside Seth's house.
It was my lunch crew...
Seth, Lucy,Brady,Collin,Macy,Natalia,Caridee,Quil,Embry,Jacob,Jared,Kim and Gabe...and my brother came along too.
Seth walked up and gave me a big hug and then we shared a quick kiss on the lips.
"Seth this is my friend Chloe. Chloe, this is my boyfriend...Seth" I said introducing them to each other.
"I've heard alot of good things about you. It's nice to finally meet you."Chloe said shaking his had.
"You too." Seth gave Chloe a friendly smile.
"Before anybody else attacks me...this is one of my best friends down from Vancouver, Chloe. Chloe...well...there's a lot of names so everyone will just introduce themselves to you." I said turning back to Chloe.
We all went inside the garage and hung out.
I quickly finished telling Chloe about what happened when I got hit by the car and then we went back to socializing with everyone else.
"So where are you from?" Quil asked Chloe.
"I'm originally from Barcelona, then my family moved to Vancouver and we've been living there ever since I was 5." Chloe said.
"Barcelona...now where is that?" Embry said sitting down to join our little group.
"Spain." Chloe told him.
"So you speak Spanish..." Quil assumed,
"Yea—"
"You should really help me with my spanish homework that's due when we go back to school—" Embry began to say before Chloe cut him off.
"Seeing that I live no where near here...you might wanna ask Ella about that. My mom taught her Spanish and she knows it fluently—"
"You're kidding...wait I take that back...Ella say something something in Spanish." Quil demanded.
"Realmente debería aprender a poner la camisa en el camino correcto. Voy e honesto...te ves ridículo" I told him.
"Ella estaba pensando lo mismo" Chloe chuckled in agreement.
Both of us just sat there laughing while everyone was looking at us like we're crazy.
"Okay now what did you say...I didn't get any of that—"
"Quil they're trying to tell you that you have your shirt on backwards and it looks rediculous." Lucy shouted from across the room.
"Oh." Quil said looking down to see the tag of his shirt sticking out on the side.
"Good job dumb ass." Jacob said patting Quil on the back.
"Shut up Jake...no I take that back. I know how to fix this." Quil got up and stood in the middle of the room.
"Observe."
Quil took off his shirt...turned it inside out and then put it back on.
"Okay shows over...now that will be 5 bucks." Quil said holding his hand out as if we were gonna give him money.
"Boo you whore." I said in a plain tone.
Everyone bursted out laughing.
"Wow...you would use that qoute from Mean Girls." Quil said.
All the girls in the room and myself included all gave Quil the same odd look.
"What?" He spat.
"The fact that you even know where I got that from just astounds me. I'm starting to become a little concerned." I said.
"I second that." Kim said raising her hand.
"Oh please...almost every guy has seen that stupid chick flick atleast once." Embry told me.
"True fact." Jared said.
All the boys agreed.
"Yea yea whatever." I said rolling my eyes.
Chloe and I went home about a few hours later.
I made sure to give my boyfriend a kiss goodbye before we left.
All of us had an absolute blast!
Chloe loved all of my friends and even managed to get everyone's number so she could stay in touch.
I'm glad that Chloe enjoyed her visit.
I was definitely gonna have her visit again.
My parents plan on having me go down to vancouver for a week over the summer.
I can't wait.
Christmas...
That was a very good day.
I woke up to see lots of snow outside...and then I shocked to see that my parents got me an 32 GB I-touch.
I was very happy when I got that along with a few pairs of shoes, jewelry, and a few other things.
Then I went Seth's house and we exchanged gifts.
HE LOVED HIS CAMERA!
If only you could see the look on his face.
He just stand there all wide eyed and happy.
Seth gave me something homemade and I LOVED IT.
It was a dancing ballerina carved from wood.
It was so detailed and just absolutely perfect!
The fact that he made is what made the little statue even better.
It looks like it took a long time to make.
I love my boyfriend.
I only have about 2 weeks left of winter break...I'm gonna try and enjoy it as much as I can.
~~~~January 6th 2010~~~~~
It's a new year, new day...and time for lots of changes and certainly alot of unexpected surprises.
Seth and I still haven't gone on our third date.
He had to call it off because he had to take care of some winter assignment had no idea was due the day we went back to school.
I simply told him that we could go out another time.
Finals are next week...so everyone is going into "cram session mode".
Once finals are out of the way...then we'll probably go out again.
~~~~~~2 weeks later~~~~~~~~~
Second Semester started about a week ago and it's going pretty well.
I won't get my report card until next week.
This Semester, I have Seth in almost every single class except choir and physics.
We've tried to get together after school several times for the past week or so and he keeps getting caught up with all this school work.
Seth's taking 2 advanced placement classes...AP Human Geograhy and AP Enviromental Science.
I'm not taking any AP classes until next year.
I want to get as many AP course/college credits as I can while I'm in high school so then I can put mainly all of my focus on dancing once I go to college.
Freshman year is going by so fast. Pretty soon I'm gonna be graduating from high school...that's not that far away...3 years...that's all I have.
Then it's time to go the real world...that's when everything changes...I won't be a kid any more.
"Ella! snap out of it!" Seth said wavind his hand in my face.
Whoa...day dreaming... :P
"Sorry about that." I told him.
"It's okay Elle. But about tonight...I don't think I can go out tonight. I have a study group after school and then I have to go over to a friends house to work on a project that's due next monday...it's gonna be a late night cram session so I won't be home till atleast midnight. Some other time?" Seth pleaded.
"But we've tried so many times in the past few weeks—" I began to say before Seth interrupted me.
"I know babe...the beginning of second semester is just really busy for me right now. I promise you that the school work is gonna die down and we're gonna get together soon okay?"
"Fine—"
The school bell just rung...now I have to go meet up with Kim because she's my ride home from school.
"I'll you later. I love you." Seth said quickly and then gave me a brief kiss on the lips.
Before I could reply, he had already walked off.
"Love you too." I mumbled
Tonight is definitely boring.. :P...so much for spending time with my boyfriend.
(Seth's P.O.V.)
~~~ A few hours later~~~
I feel so bad for having to call off our plans for tonight.
I feel even more guilty to lying to her once again...after I promised her I wouldn't.
Yea I know I have to tell her soon...but I don't how and I don't know when.
That's what scares me.
And then there's her sister Sasha.
She's the main reason why I've been having to call off all of the plans Ella and I keep making.
But Sasha's not really the problem anymore...we think she might have lured someone else in the area.
Another Vampire.
Speaking of which...Gabe Avanaco, Lucy's twin brother is starting to show signs of phasing soon.
Everyone who knows about wolves is starting to notice...Lucy was the first to figure it out.
But there is no study group...or project due monday...I made it all up.
I had once again lied to my girlfriend.
My girl.
I have to meet up with the pack after school for lord knows how long...but if she finds out that I've been lying to her...she's gonna kill me.
She might even break up with me...and that's what I don't want.
'Seth PAY ATTENTION! You need to focus. This is important. Let's go!' Jacob yelled in his alpha comman voice.
'Okay I'm coming' I said following behind him.
I'm sorry Elle...but I have to keep you safe.
(Ella's P.O.V.)
Could this night be anymore boring than it already it is?
Seriously...I've done nothing but lay on the couch an flip through channels.
Nothing good is on tv right now.
It's almost 11:00pm...but something doesn't seem right.
It just doesn't feel right at all.
I can feel it through out my body.
This has to be atleast the 5th or 6th time Seth has called off our plans to go take care of "homework".
I'm starting to think otherwise.
Why do I feel the need to go over to his house and see if he's home?
No...I don't want him to feel like I'm doubting his promise...I just...what the hell am I saying?
He's not lying to me...Seth promised he wouldn't
UGH! This is gonna make me mad!
I grabbed my cell phone off of the coffe table and dialed his number...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
No answer.
I just got his voice mail.
I called his number again...
...
...
this time it went straight to his voicemail.
I quietly ran up to my room, put on a pair sneakers and my sweat shirt and went out the back door of my room.
We promised to be honest with each other.
I can't stand this feeling of being so unsure about Seth telling me the truth.
Maybe I'll feel better once I atleast see him...he's probably not home yet...I'll just wait outside until her gets home.
I'm not crazy.
Okay I lied, maybe a little bit...
But I have to atleast know that he was actually being honest about what he was doing for the past few hours.
I love this guy...
Really I do...and I'm glad that we have a good enough relationship where we're not afraid to be completely honest with each other.
It was dead silent...the only thing that broke the silence was the sound of wolves howling not so far away from Seth's house.
I found it kinda scary how all of the wolves stopped howling at the same time.
It was very silent again.
Then I heard a group of voice come from the back at the house.
"We have to talk to the Cullen's about this. Now there's two of them. Next time, Seth and Embry you take patrol on the coast. Quil, Leah and I will watch the border." I heard a voice say.
I slowly walked towards the back of the house.
Then I heard his voice.
"Got it." I heard Seth say.
There he was...with Jacob,Quil,Embry and his sister Leah.
All of them had their shirts off and were wearing shorts...well except for Leah. She was wearing a shirt.
That's when I realized this wasn't right at all.
He lied.
Again.
He promised.
I know I don't really have the proof...but whatever they're talking about must be a secret.
They looked very suspicous.
They all had the same tattoo stamped on their right arm.
I didn't even notice that until now.
My boyfriend is only 15 and has a freaking tattoo...WTF?
Is he in some sort of secret gang?
Now I was angry...I'm beyond angry...
I feel so stupid.
He promised.
He made me a promise.
He promised me that their wouldn't be anymore secrets.
He lied.
TO MY FACE.
I'm sick of this.
Then Seth turned around and caught my grimacing stare.
"Ella what are you doing here?" He asked.
"I could easily ask you the same thing...but my question would be more on the guidelines of how your so called study group went." I spat.
"Ella—"
"Don't bull shit me Seth! Do you honestly think I'm stupid? I mean—wow—if lying were an olympic sport...there is no doubt in hell that you would win the gold!" I yelled.
"Ella please—"
"No we're done Seth! It's that simple. You made me a promise. Was it really that hard to keep. We promised that we were gonna be honest with each other. I mean seriously—the only reason I felt the need to come over here is because I had the strangest feeling that you weren't being honest about why we had to call off our plans...I meab it bothered me that much to point where I felt the need to see you...just to make sure you were actually telling the truth. I mean it's so obvious. It's written all over your face. So go back to your secret life and forget that WE ever happened. We're done!" I shouted.
"Ella let me expla—"
"I don't want to hear your bull shit excuse. I'm breaking up wit—"
"Ella." Seth pleaded.
"Take your pick. Either you tell me the truth right NOW...or we're done and don't even think about talking to me—"
"You wanna know the truth?" Seth cut me off.
"That's all I want." I cried as tears streamed down my face.
Seth turned around to look back at Jacob who gave him a small nodd.
Then he turned back around to look at me.
"We're gonna go for a walk..." Seth said leaning his head towards the road.
We walked to the beach and stopped at the rock caves.
"There's something I've been meaning to tell you..."
