Chapter 36
His promise
(Ella's P.O.V.)
It was 11 am when I woke up this morning.
Seth and I went straight to the beach with a bunch of our other friends just to hang out.
Seth and I didn't walk home till about...1 am I think.
Today is August 4th 2010.
In my case...it's a very special.
It means that Seth and I met exactly a year ago.
I've known Seth for a whole year now!
I find it kinda funny how it doesn't feel like that what so ever.
Even Seth said that it feels as if we have know each other longer than that.
It's almost noon right now.
Seth and I are walking over to the Uley's to see the new baby right now.
"I still can't believe you all got stuck in traffic." I chuckled.
"You should have seen Sam's face when he got Emily's message. We all heard it...and the phone wasn't even on speaker." Seth told me.
"Well what ever happened on the way back does not even match up to what Lucy and I had to deal with...I don't think I'm ever EVER going to have kids." I said.
"Hmmm." Seth mumbled to himself.
"I'm serious. If only you could have seen the look on Emily's face. My God you could tell she was in so much pain—"
"Babe I sure in time...your mind will change. In the end I'm just glad that my sister has let go of her death gripping grudge. I must say Ella. You can be quite the persuassive actress." Seth commented.
"Yea yea...so I've been told." I teased.
"By the way...I got my permit." Seth muttered.
He beat me to it!
"Lucky! I don't get mine till about a week after my birthday. Either way I'm probably just gonna get a ride from Lucy when school star—"
"Or I can take you to schoo—" Seth began to say before I cut him off.
"I don't think so. You have to wait 6 months until you can drive people legally." I told him.
"Yea...if Lucy got her permit recently...then she can't take you either."
Crap...my boyfriend does make a valid point.
"Fine." I pouted.
"I don't even have a car yet...so in that case I'll be taking the bus" Seth said.
"Then I'm taking the bus with you. Or we can always get a ride from the boys. Embry, Quil, Jacob and Tony are gonna be Seniors." I reminded him.
"Let's hope they won't be as cocky as Jared was—"
"What about me?" Jared said as he popped out of no where just as we had walked into the drive way of the Uley house.
"Nothing." I lied.
"Suuuuure." Jared said nodding his.
"Oh leave them alone. What ever it was...I bet you it's true." Kim teased.
"Or they're just jealous." Jared said in a confident tone.
"Nawwww." Seth and I said together.
Jared cracks me up.
The door was open so we immeadiatley stepped in.
Before I could even move over to the living room where Emily, Sam and Katherine were with the baby, Claire ended up wrapping herself around my leg.
"Hey Claire." I smiled.
"Ella!" She Squeled.
"Shhhhhh. You bring it down a little bit. You don't want to be too loud around your new cousin." I said as I crouched down to her level.
"Shhhhh. Like that?" Claire asked.
"Yea—"
"Claire come here." Katherine called out to her.
Claire grabbed my hand and made me follow her into the living.
Emily was on the couch with her back propped up against a pillow.
"I was wondering when you were gonna stop" by she said to us.
"Well we're here now." Lucy told her.
"Aww look at her." Kim said as she walked over to Katherine to get a closer look.
"It's funny...she looks nothing like you Sam." Jared teased.
"Haha...you're funny." Emily said sarcastically.
"She looks so much like the both of you," Lucy said.
"I hope you don't mind using part of your name Ella. I found May more fitting than Marie for Kay's middle name." Emily explained.
Kay is such a cute nick name for her.
Kay, Kayla...and lord knows what other nick names she might get.
Hahaha.
Every kiss begins with Kay...that just popped into my head lol.
"Do you wanna hold her?" Emily asked me.
I gave her a shy smile and nodded,
Babies are so cuddly...I love to hold them.
I sat down in the closest lounge chair and Katherine had quickly placed her in my arms.
Kayla is definitely awake.
She's looking right at me.
The look on her face is almost funny.
She just wrapped her tiny little hands around my finger and looked right back at me.
I wonder if a wolf will imprint on her anytime soon...
Seth said that there's a good chance that by the time we're seniors there will be a few more wolves who will join the packs.
One of them will probably the Avanaco twins's brother Kyle Avanaco.
He's only 13.
He'll be a sophomore by the time Seth and I are seniors.
Collin and Brady have some younger boy siblings as well...
"She so cute Emily." I told her.
"Than—"
"Quil!" Claire shrieked just as he walked inside.
Claire quickly jumped into his arms.
"Shhhh." Quil said quietly.
"Come see baby!" She said as Quil put her back down and Claire grabbed his hand and brought him over to where we all were sitting.
"Yep. That's definitley Emily and Sam junior." Quil said as got a good look at Kayla.
"Baby Kayla." Claire said excitedly as she got onto the other couch and sat right next to me.
"Seth come here. It's your turn!" I whispered quietly.
"Ehhh...I think I'll pass—" Seth sounded a little unsure
"Come Seth you've held a baby before." Emily insisted.
"Just cradle your arms and support her head...there ya go babe. That's it." I said gentley placing Kayla in his arms.
Awwwwww
This is so darling.
Seth holding his new cousin.
"Oh babe. She likes you." I told him.
"I guess so." He muttered.
"Ease up Seth. You're a natural." Emily told him.
"Wait don't move! I want to get a picture!" I said as I quickly pulled my camera out of my bag.
"Smile!" I said before I snapped the shot.
Perfect.
I gave the camera to Emily so she could have a look.
"Have your mom fix it up and send me a copy! This is such a good picture." Emily said.
"Uh Emily..." Seth said as Kayla began to wimper in his arms ans wiggle around.
"Give her to me." Emily said reaching for her daughter before she could make the little sound of a cry.
Seth handed Kayla back to Emily.
Kayla had quickly settled down once Seth had put her back in her mother's arms.
"She just wanted me Seth. It's all good...wait till all of you guys have kids." Emily told us.
All the teenagers just looked at each other.
"Ha ha ha ha ha...good one." We all chuckled.
"You say that now." Sam told us.
"Oh don't sweat it. I'm kidding." Emily teased.
"Oh gosh—"
"That reminds me. Ella we have to go." Seth said as he wrapped his hands around my waist.
"What—"
"Remember?" Seth whispered.
Okay nevermind.
I almost forgot.
"Um we'll catch up with you guys later." Seth said as he grabbed my hand and started pulling me out the door.
"Come we don't want to be late!" Seth said as we started running down the middle of the road.
"If I get hit by a car...your are so gonna get it later." I said as I let go of his hand and started running right past him.
"Hey wait up!" Seth yelled from behind me.
"You're a wolf. I know you can run faster than that." I yelled from behind.
I quickly sped up my pace as I had turned the corner and just passed Jacob's house.
Just as I passed Seth's house, I got scooped up into my boyfriend's arms out of no where.
"Seth put me down!" I demanded.
"I thought maybe we could get there faster." He insisted.
"Hmmm..."
I'm giving it some thought.
"Oh hey!" I said as I waved in the direction towards Seth's house.
Seth quickly turned around and I ran in the other direction.
"Gotcha!" I yelled from behind me.
"Hey!" Seth yelled.
I decided to sprint a little fast so I had enough speed to roll into a round off back-hand spring.
As always, I nailed.
"I didn't know you could do that!" Seth shouted from behind me.
"Gymnastics!" I hollered.
"Show off!" My boyfriend yelled.
Okay now I sort of regret that seeing that I'm wearing a dress.
Then again it's all good...lucky for me this dress doesn't rise up...no matter how fast I run lol.
I continued to run down the street till I had reached the only busy street in La Push.
It was the main street that was right down the road from the beach.
The main street had a few small stored in the area.
A coffee shop, antique store, a book store, a grocery store, a pizza parlor which my friends and I go to sometimes to hang out. In a small area like this...Everyone literaly knows everyone.
NO JOKE!
I might get a job eventually...I just haven't decided where yet.
Right when I had gotten to the dirt lot, I quickly took of my sneakers and held them in my hand as I finally reached the sand and headed for certain spot that Seth and I were meeting at.
"Ha...I beat him he—" Before I could finish my sentence, I ended up being tackled down to the ground.
My boyfriend pretty muched attacked me.
"Okay now you have to get off of me." I choked.
"I caught you." Seth giggled.
"Seth!" I yelled right in his face.
"Sorry." He muttered as he quickly stood up and then helped me up.
"I beat you here." I teased.
"Actually Ella it's over here by the log." Seth said as he pointed a few feet away from us.
"Oh." I said bashfully.
Seth eagerly pulled me over towards the dead log that stood only about a foot away from us now.
He quickly looked at his watch.
"3...2...1...kiss me." He said.
I quickly brought my face to his as our lips crashed together.
Seth brought his hands down to my waist and my hands gentley caressed his face.
Let's just say it's pretty long kiss.
We broke apart and just looked at each other.
"I can't believe...Exactly a year ago on August 4th 2009 at 3:21 pm...was the first time I saw you." He murmured.
"Haha. That face you made when you where shaking my hand...and on top of that you wouldn't let me go. At first I thought you were just plain out weird. I mean you should have seen the way you were looking at me...now look at us...one year later and we're together." I told.
"I hope it stays like this...I mean yea we are younf and naive right now, but at some point later on in the future...I want to marry you." He told me.
Whoa...did he just...no...he didn't...okay yea he did...wow...that's so...awwwwwww.
"Really?" I asked him.
Seth kissed me on the forehead.
"You're my perfect match in every way possible. Wether it's a supernatural fact or not...yea I do Elle." He said.
"Babe..." I wimpered turning my head away so he couldn't see my tears.
Don't worry they're happy tears.
"Are you crying Elle?" Seth asked.
"Maybe." I said as I quickly wiped my tears away.
"Ella." Seth said pulling my face into his chest.
"I love you." I croaked.
Seth let me go. I turned my head away so he couldn't see my face.
I feel like I'm overreacting.
"Hey." Seth said lifting up my chin with his finger.
"I love you too." He whispered.
"Come on. Let's keep moving." I said grabbing his and continued to walk down towards the waves.
"It's funny...in way I feel as if we'll have 2 anniversaries to celebrate. The day we first met and the day we became a couple." He told me.
"Haha. That's sort of true." I chuckled.
"You know there is one thing we haven't done in a while..." Seth trailed off just as feet began to touch the damp parts of sand.
"Hmmmm?" I said as Seth pulled me closer to him.
This time he pulled out his Ipod and put one of the head phones in my ear.
I stood waiting patiently for him to pick a song.
Right when the music started playing I automatically recognized the song.
All We Are by One Republic.
"I'm glad to see that my wolf has good taste." I said.
"Only the best." He assured me.
I tried to paint you a picture, the colors were all wrong
Black and white didn't fit you and all along
You were shaded with patience, your strokes of everything
That I need just to make it and I can see that
And I believe that I could tear you apart
But it won't break anything that you are, you are
We won't say our goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi
We haven't done this in a while. Not since our first date which was last September.
"I missed this." Seth murmured softly.
"Me too." I whispered loud enough for him to hear.
I walked a minute in your shoes, they never would've fit
I figured there's nothing to lose, I need to get
Some perspective on these words before I write them down
You're an island and my ship has run aground
I could tear you apart, but it wont break anything that
We are, we are
We won't say our goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi
I started to sing the words softly.
Every single day that I can breathe
You changed my philosophy
I'm never gonna let you pass me by
So don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
So don't say your goodbyes
You know it's better that way
We won't break, we won't die
It's just a moment of change
All we are, all we are
Is everything that's right
All we need, all we need
A lover's alibi
So don't say our goodbyes
You know it's better
We won't break, we won't die
"You know what?" Seth asked me.
"What is it?"
"I think you should sing more often. And I'm not saying that just because you're my girl. You have a beautiful voice." He told me.
"Thanks." I blushed.
"I've been thinking..." He trailed off.
"Thinking about what?" I asked him.
There was a very awkward pause.
"Don't freak out okay?" Seth told me.
I just nodded though I'm a little nervous as to what he's trying tell me.
He slowly go down on one knee.
"Oh my God! Seth Ryan Clearwater what the hell are you doing? We're almost 16. I'm not pregnant...and you're not proprosing." I said in a panic.
I quickly started to look around to see if anyone else was watching since we're not the only ones at the beach.
It's summer.
Everyone usually goes to the beach during the summer.
"Ella quit freaking out and just listen to me." Seth said.
"Then stand up. You're freaking me out." I told him.
"Just listen." Seth pleaded.
I let out a very heavy sigh.
"Okay. I'm listening." I said.
"Ella May Rose Gardner," Seth said as he pulled something out of his pocket and held it in his hand.
It was a ring.
"Oh my God." I said very quickly before Seth continued what he was saying.
It's official...my boyfriend is crazy.
"I—I wanna marry you...someday...but until then. Will you accept this promise ring?" He said.
"Please stand up." I said covering my face with my hands.
Without arguing...he did what I had asked.
Still holding the ring in his hand...he said,
"If you accept...this ring will symbolize my promise to you to always be true. To never pressure you to do anything more than kiss. To listen to your problems—to tell you when you have something in your teeth or something on that perfect little face of yours. To always come to your dance recitals and music concerts. To come over to your house when you need me to help you lift something heavy. To lie...only if it's for your own good. To protect you. I promise...to make you feel proud when you point down the school halls and say that guy is my boyfriend...I promise to do all of those things and never let you down."
"Woooooow." I whispered.
"So," Seth said as he got back down on one knee.
"What do you say?" He asked.
He's my boyfriend for god's sake...
In the end, there's pretty much only one word I could possibly say.
I love this boy...so he derserves a solid answer.
"Yes." I told him.
"Really?" Seth said sounding shocked as if he was shocked to hear what I just said come from my mouth.
"Did you honestly think I was gonna say no? Well then again the way you presented this whole thing made heart start beating alot more than if should have." I mutttered.
"If only you could have seen the look on your face. For a second I almost felt the need to stop because you looked a little freaked out. I wanted this moment to seem more memorable than my original plan." Seth told me.
"And what was your original plan?" I asked in curiousity.
"Well I wasn't planning on this at all until the guys had convinced me that my idea was pretty lame. I was simply gonna ask you if you would wanna wear this ring and that was jsut about it." He said.
"Ehhhhh...I like what you just did better, regardless how nervous you made me feel." I told him.
"So I make you nervous." Seth asked.
"Every once in a while...yea ya do." I admitted.
"Well you know what?...you make me feel nervous sometimes too." He whispered.
"Oh." I nodded before leaning in to kiss my boyfriend.
Now this kiss is way longer than the one that happened almost 15 minutes ago.
"So where's the ring?" I asked.
"Oh...right!" Seth said as he pulled it back out of his pocket and placed it in the palm of my hand.
Gosh...it's beautiful.
Simple, but very pretty.

It was a plain old silver ring and there were two hearts that linked around each other.
Then I noticed something was carved on the insided of the ring...
S loves E.
Seth loves Ella.
"It's beautiful." I said.
"I was hoping that you would like it." He told me.
I kissed him on the cheek.
"I love it." I told him.
"Good." He smiled.
"Now I'm started to get a little curious..." I admitted as I took a closer look at the ring and it's very crisp cut detail.
"Where did get a ring from? I mean it looks expens—not that I don't like it but it—how the hell did you afford—Alice." I stammered out loud in realization.
"I think you have officialy known Alice Cullen long enough to point where you know which good deeds have her name written all over them wether you may have suspected it or not. Plus she did it as a favor." Seth chuckled.
"Hmmm...Alice...well what can we say...she did well." I said.
"Here." Seth said as took the ring out of my hand and put it on my right ring finger.
"It's a perfect fit." He said.
"Okay now how did you manage to figure out my ring size." I asked.
I wonder what his explaination is for that one...
"I honestly don't know...I don't even know you're ring size. Alice said she could get the ring and that's exactly what she did and that's just about it." Seth said.
"Nice...well thank you." I told him.
His lips gentley brushed mine for a very brief and very sweet kiss.
"Your welcome." He whispered.
Seth grabbed my hand and we continued to walk on the shore where the waves of water crashed smoothly against our ankles.
"By the way...you look beautiful in this dress you're wearing." Seth murmured.

"Is this what your plan is? To try and woo me over with a bunch of compliments?" I asked.
"Nooooo...I just want to spend the day with you...that's all." He told me.
"In that case, we're on the same page." I chuckled.
"Haha...very funny."
"It's beautiful day." I sighed.
"You know what makes this day even better?" Seth asked me.
"What?" I asked.
"You."
