Chapter 14

The Scientist

I was sprawled out on my bed; I had just painted my nails a sea breeze color that I thought would suit my dress nicely. I carefully touched each of my nails to make sure they were dry, and when I was finally certain I got up and looked at the clock. It was 1 in the afternoon, with exactly 4 hours till Bella's wedding.

I got up and jumped in the shower, I made sure I was squeaky clean and I got out. I graved my rope hanging on the door-that I hardly ever use- and put it on. When I walked outside Julia was standing in my room with her hands on her hips, and bags to her left and right.

"Did you forget I was coming over so we could get ready together?"

Oh crap.

"No, no of course not Julia how could I forget about you!" I quickly walked over and gave her a hug.

When I pulled away she had a smile on her face "Well good, I thought that maybe you did. Anyways before I got her I showered and curled my hair, but I might need to do a touch up. SO, let's get to work on your make up while your hair air dry's for a little bit."

We made a clean spot on the floor, as I waited for Julia to get started. Normally I wouldn't dare let people touch my face with makeup, but I trusted Julia so I was going on a long shot here. Worst comes to worst I could just wash it off or something.

I was so distracted with my own thoughts I jumped a little when I heard music come on.

"Sorry Ellie, I hope you don't mind."

"Oh no I don't, I just…was..distracted that's all."

She smiled and started going to work as We Found Love by Rihanna echoed through my room. I did all of Julia's commands, looking up when she asked me to or looking down. Smiling big as se applied some blush.

It was all over pretty quickly, I made a motion to get up but she quickly stopped me.

"Wait! I want you to see it as a finished product with everything done. So blow dry the rest of your hair out as I warm up the curling irons, lucky I brought one too so we can both do your hair at once."

I simply nodded and started blow drying my damp hair out. By the time I finished both the irons we hot so we got to work.

I was curling my right side while Julia was curling my left. It took about twenty minutes for us to finish my hair, but we did it.

Julia put a few bobby pins in her mouth and tried to smooth my hair over to my right shoulder. She carefully stuck the pins in.

"There you hair and makeup is PERFECT"

I smiled "Thank you Julia, now let's switch places it's your turn."

She gave a big smile and clapped her hands with glee. I smiled Julia definitely was one of a kind, but I don't know where I would be without her.

I got to work on her makeup, I decided to with a clean cat eye. Carefully fanning out the brown eye shadow to further out the attention to her eyes. I gave a simple peach blush, and light pink lipstick.

When I finished applying the last few touched to her face, I figured her curls needed a little work. So I graved a curling iron, and picked up a strawberry blond curl.

I held it in the iron for a few seconds and watched it fall. I continued to her curls were all fairly neat and intact. I got up off the floor.

"Finished."

"Good timing too, we only have and 45 minutes left before we need to head over to the wedding"

Julia quickly got her dress and started changing. I walked over to my closet, and graved my dress and heels. I slipped on my dress and heels and started walking over to Julia who looked like she needed help with the zipper. Julia looked beautiful, she was wearing a light pink dress that fit her nicely but still flowed. It was cute and simple, but a little edgy with her black heels.

When she turned to look at me she gasped. She quickly rushed me over to my mirror.

"Ellie, wow, you look AMAZING"

And she was right I did look good. Not necessarily amazing in my terms, but I looked good. My dress was a deep purple with a strap only on my left shoulder. It was form fitting and highlighted, well my, 'stuff'. My hair was cascading down my right shoulder, and my makeup was smokey eye, lightened out with pearl eye shadow on my lid. My eye liner covered both my bottom and top, but wasn't too thick.

"I'm glad we went with the beige heels, it's not too distracting. Here put your earring on, and I'll get your bracelet."

I put on some dangly gold earring, and when Julia came over I put on a simple gold bangle bracelet. I looked at the time, fudge monkey's I shoved my phone in the pocket of my dress and graved Julia's arm.

We were almost out the door when my uncle stopped me.

"Be careful kiddo, and by the way El you look beautiful. Uh you to Julia."

"Thank You!"

"Don't worry Danny I will"

I gave him a quick hug graved my keys and jumped in my car.

Looking for the Cullen house was not as easy as I thought it was going to be, but lucky for me Julia was good with directions, and her having an iPhone with Siri definitely helped.

We got there just in time. We quickly sat done after finding Seth, his mom, and Billy.

When we sat down I was able to take in the scenery. And holy cheerios was it breathe taking. There were white flowers covering everything, and the seats were made intricately from wood. Like wow.

The music finally started and we stood up as we watched Bella-in her incredible dress-walk down the aisle to Edward. They looked so happy and in love. I smiled slightly as I watched them say their vows, and finally share their first kiss as man and wife. Although it probably didn't have to last as long as it did. But when it ended it turned into a smooth transition to the more party like atmosphere.

I was talking with Seth and our group, when Seth noticed Bella and Edward finally alone. So we walked over. Come on Ellie let's get this over with.

"Hey man" Seth gave Edward a one armed hug. "it's nice to see you I'm happy for you"

"Congratulations" Julia said in the smallest tiniest voice I have ever heard. I didn't think it was possible for her.

"I'll hope you'll be happy Bella" Billy looked up at Bella and I knew he meant a more of I hope you'll be happy with the vampire choice you are making even though I KNOW it is a big mistake, but hey whatever.

"Thank you Billy"

I stepped up, and I gave Bella a hug. "Congratulations Bella, I wish you the very best."

She hugged me tighter, and I pulled away. "Thank you for coming, it means a lot to me."

I chuckled "We had to make peace at some point right?" I turned to Edward "I'm sorry about more then you know, but I really do wish you both all the best."

"Have you heard from him?"

I twinged a little "No, I'm sorry but I'm sure he just wants the best for you"

She gave a slight smile and a nod, and we walked away. Our little group made its way over the little spot we made. But I wanted to get something to drink so I made my over to the punch bowl.

I poured myself something to drink and a big guy with short brown hair made eye contact with me.

"Are you that girl that punched my new sister in the face"

I swallowed hard, oh great. "Um yeah sorry about that, but we're good now. at least I think we are"

He laughed a big booming laugh "Nah that was sweet though, Bella said that your dad was a boxer."

I smiled "yeah he used to fight back in the day, he won a good amount. And when I got old enough he taught me everything he knew."

He nodded, but a beautiful blond woman came up to him. "Come on Emmett it's time for the toasts. Alice will rip your head off if you're late."

"Alright babe, it was nice meeting you-"

"Ellie"

"Ellie, maybe we could trade fighting secrets one day."

"Maybe one day"

He smiled and he walked off. Seth came up behind me. "Bonding with the vampires now?"

I laughed "for now yeah, the trick is to get them on your good side you know?"

He nodded and we sat down at the table. We watched various people give their speeches. But by far I thought Emmett was the funniest. But the girl, I think her name was Jessica, was up there too. If she didn't make it clear that she wanted to be up there with Edward instead of Bella. It was sad and funny all at the same time.

The reception party picked up again, and people were dancing and having a good time.

A guy came to me, and started talking.

"Hey I don't think I've seen you around before."

I wanted to roll my eyes at this guy, was he seriously hitting on me?

"Maybe it's because I live in La Push"

"Oh" he eyes went a little wide and he drank from his cup. "Well I'm Mike and you are?"

"I'm Ellie" mike, mike why does that name sound so familiar? OH.

"Ellie that's a pretty name." he grinned at me and moved in closer.

"Wait Mike, aren't you the guy that went to the movies with Bella and my boyfriend Jacob and then got sick in the middle of the movie?"

I don't think I've ever seen anybody get so pale so fast I wanted to laugh while he put it all together.

"That guy is you boyfriend?"

I smile and nodded.

When Seth quickly came up behind me. "Ellie we have a problem."

I waved goodbye to Matt as I followed Seth into the woods. "Seth where are we going what's the problem"

It was then that I say Bella being held by Jake, who looked like he was going to squeeze her to death.

I saw the rest of the pack come up behind Jacob, holding him back. While Edward came up in front of Bella"

"GAH! I'LL KILL YOU!"

"JACOB!" I didn't realize how load I had screamed it till the words came out of my mouth. I walked closer to them.

It took a second for jake to recognize my voice but when he did "Ellie". He walked over to me and tried to hold me, but I wouldn't let him.

"Go Jacob, please just go."

"Ellie-"

"Go"

He sighed and he walked off into the woods. I turned around and saw Bella and Edward looking at me. I felt tears stinging my eyes, how could jake do something like that? He comes back and this is what he does?

I saw Edward looking at me with a sad face and I remembered he could read thoughts. I immediately cursed myself.

"I am so sorry"

It was all I could manage to say before I quickly walked off to my car. I was fumbling around for my keys when I finally got the door open. But it was shut with a silent thud.

I turned and I saw Jake.

"Ellie, wait."

"No! Move out of my way" I opened the door again but he just closed it.

"Ellie"

"Move. Out. Of. The. Way."

He finally moved and I opened my door, and got inside. I turned on the car and started driving to my house.

The radio was blaring a song I recognized, Memory by Sugarcult.

This may never start/I'll tear us apart/Can I be your enemy?/Losing half a year/Waiting for you here/I'd be your anything/So get back, back, back to where we lasted/Just like I imagine/I could never feel this way/So get back, back, back to the disaster/My heart's beating faster/Holding on to feel the same

I felt tears starting to sting my eyes, but I took deep breaths to try and hold them in.

This may never start/Tearing out my heart./I'd be your memory/Lost your sense of fear(I'd be your memory)/Feelings disappeared/Can I be your memory?

I finally reached my house I got inside my house. I saw Danny and Leah on the couch cuddled together.

"Hey Ellie how was the wedding?"

"Fine"

I stormed up the stairs and prayed that they didn't come inside to check on my. But with Leah there she would most likely tell Danny to leave me alone.

I closed my door and leaned on it for support. I got up and took my heels off. I sat on my bed and put my head in my hands.

All of a sudden I started hearing a soft murmur of music. I went outside and saw Jake holding a pair of speakers. He turned up the volume and I heard what he was playing.

Come up to meet you/ Tell you I'm sorry/ You don't know how lovely you are/ I had to find you tell you I need you/Tell you I set you apart./tell me you secrets and ask me your questions/ oh let's get back to the start/ running in circles coming up tails/ heads on a science apart.

Oh I seriously wanted to cry.

Nobody said it was easy/ it's such a shame for us to part/ nobody said it was easy/ no one ever said it would be this hard/ oh take me back to the start

"Ellie? Can I come up to talk?"

I looked down at him. I walked away from my window and started walking up and down my room. Oh man Ellie.

What do I do, what do I do?

I walked back to my window. "Fine, you can come up"

He smiled and came up to me window.

"Ellie, I'm sorry"

"For what?"

"For, leaving and for threatening Edward. "

"Oh good, so you do know you did more than one thing wrong."

"Ellie look I'm sorry. It killed me to be away from you-"

"You can't do that! You can't hurt me like that and then apologize, and expect me to forgive you and be ok with it. Jacob you hurt me. "

I walked up to him and shoved him on his chest "You left me."

I felt the tears leaving my eyes now. They stung as I felt the makeup touching my eyes.

He held my hands to his chest. "God Ellie I know, I don't think I could ever say sorry enough times. Ellie I never mean to hurt you the way I have. Your love means more to me than anything. And I will do whatever it takes to prove that to you."

He cupped my face with his hand, and held onto both of my hands with the other.

"Ellie I didn't mean to cause you any pain, and I swear I will make it up to you every chance I get. Just please say you will give me another shot. I can't live without you."

I felt my heart beating faster. He wiped away my stray tears. "Please don't cry anymore"

I turned my head a little. Oh fudge it. I hugged him, and I felt him hold me tight.

"if you ever hurt me like that again I will kill you. And I have friends who will help me."

He squeezed me tighter. "Never"

He lifted my chin with his finger "Can I kiss you?"

I bent down and kicked a nearby stool in front of him, I got up on it and I kissed him. I graved his face between my hands, while he graved the small of my back with one hand, and cradled my head with his other hand.

He picked me up and kicked the stool away and set me back down on the bed. He sat down next to me. I laid my head in his lap while he played with my strayed hair.

We sat like that for a while until he picked me up and laid me next to him. I closed my eyes and rested my head on his chest.

And I drifted off to sleep.

(A/N) well fudge muffins, I think this has to be the longest chapter I have ever written. I hope you liked it, because writing it I know I teared up a little. Let me know what you thought, did Ellie forgive him to easily? Or was that just the perfect way of apologizing? Let me know, considering how long this chapter is I don't know if I will update again, but maybe with a little break and rest I might have the next chapter up later today. So as always review please? It would be really appreciated(:
