AN- sorry! Im so sorry that I haven't updated! Well…Here goes okay? In Riley's POV
The late night interruption led to nothing but her rapping her arms around me and her falling asleep. (NOT that I was expecting anything…) (me: uh-huh) I moved her carefully and got dressed. El adjusted her self to a fetus like form, she also said some thing that sounded like a song I knew, but I wasn't positive what it was.
Down stares in the kitchens was Mr. Evil-dude-of-whom-makes- my-whole-life-a-total-hell-hole-Elric, who was sitting on his chair tipping back a little.
"Kitchen Boy, Do you know what day it is?"
"Um, October 11th sir." I replied.
"Ellie's Fourteenth birthday. What do you have planned for her kitchen boy?"
"Um, surprise," I tried my hardest to lie, and It wasn't doing a very good job. A surprise? What was I thinking?
"W-what do you have planned?" YES. Changed the subject. Good Tringham, the enemy was in my sights,
"Well, surprise if you want to put it this way." He said cattily,
he was so smooth and intimidating,
OK TRINGHAM, don't abandon this,
But you DIDN'T Get Ellie anything for her birthday,
Shut up, he can smell fear.
That's impossible,
"RILEY! YOU PUNK GET OVER HERE!" I have never been so relived to hear my brothers deep congested, nasally voice in my entire life. I turned to Mr. Evil-dude-of-whom-makes- my-whole-life-a-total-hell-hole-Elric, and bade him good-bye, very fast I may add.
A few minutes later, my brother and I where walking down the streets of central.
"Sure your lil' girlfriend will approve of this?" He said smart.
"shut it," I snapped, ok, the minute he said one more thing about Ellie, I was gonna punch him. There was a jewelry store that caught my eye.
"where going in here," I directed, casually put my hand on the knob,
"Hey bro, um, Im not being stupid or mean or anything, but are you sure that you should go in there, Are you ready?" what a stupid question, of course I'm ready.
Well about five minutes later, this opinion of mine was about to change drastically.
The Room was full of frillies and shiny things that blinded me.
"Hello, Is there anything that I can get you guys today?" A girl about Sargent's hight, (about 4 foot eight,) asked.
"Yeah, Id like a hamburger with cheese, and chilly fries," Sargent said sarcastically, She gave him a dirty look,
"your rude, so you cant be shopping for a special someone, as you don't have one." She spat at him.
"Oh you would never guess," What a retard Sargent is, he has he thinks no girl can resist him.(In his little fantasy)
"I'm looking for a present for this, girl, for her birthday," I said Interrupting,
"Well, you can get the gift that keeps on giving," She said. YES. That is just what I need. Yes, a professional girl. "Get her and Engagement ring!" My hopes dropped. Ditzy, that's all I needed.
"WE ARE 14,"
A guy in the back of the room Chuckled, "This could be one of the most embarrassing times of your life couldn't it son?" he said. I stared at him with my mouth open. "I can tell this girl that you like is, Very boyish, but has her girly moments." Said the man. I tried hard not to get my hopes extremely high, but they did.
"Yeah," I squeeked. He chuckled again.
"come here son." He derected me to the side of the shop. I had faith in god. I believe in miracles.
"Ok, pick from here." He said pointing to a groop of bands. "there not like," I said just making sure, "No," he said. Ok. I looked around and stared at the same ring for a hour. Or what seemed like an hour. I left with nothing.
We where in the kitchens again, and there was my dad. "Riley! Sargent!" He yelled. We went over there half heartedly.
"Where have you been?" he said fast.
"Riley was looking for something for his chickie-poo's birthday," Sargent said. I punched Him in the sholder.
"blah blah blah blab blah," Dad said.
"Um huh." We both replied. He smile and said "good." We didn't hear a word of what he was saying and we didn't care.
Later
"still haven't got her anything?" Dad said. I took a deep breath and hung my head. "I got her flowers," I said, they where useless though, They where going to be delivered tomorrow, and they didn't have a message. "Give her this." Dad pulled out a little box. Great, another ring. I hate rings. I looked at how unique it was though, I also knew that I have seen it before too. "Is, is that moms ring?" I asked. I would love ellie to have it, But, It was heart breaking. "Sure was," he said. "it has love and I can tell if you had it, it would mean a lot to you, giving something that you love to some one else is a great way to express feelings, like equivalent exchange you know?" he said. That made scence, and I wanted to take it, but my hand wouldn't move. He placed it in my lap.
More later
I ran into Ellie in the hall, she looked at me. "are you still mad, I haven't seen you all-" I hugged her "nope," I said, "Happy birthday." I said quietly. "Thank you," she said sweetly. Her voice rang in my mind a thousand times, like a song that you knew, but was never tired of hearing over and over again. "I-I have something for you." I drew the box out of my pocket and put my hand on hers. "You didn't have to." She said truthfully. But I sat her down then I sat down. I gave her the box. She carfully opened it, and her eyes widnend. I folded my hands and rested my elbows on my knees hunched over in fear. "its so pretty," she sighed. "It was my moms," I replied. She held the box out to me. I took it and took the ring out. I put it on her middle finger. "Good, Im glad it fits," I said. She hugged me and there is where I melted. Like always.
