Chapter 7: Missing Hurts

Ell was not able to visit Sirius before leaving to go work at Crater Joint and was a bit uneasy about that fact. Ell was happy, however to be hanging out with Drake once again. At least she would have one person to help keep her out of trouble and to help through the stress of working away from home. Drake and Ell chilled up in Tomato a few days before having to process in, and Ell was happy to not have to work opening day. She spent the whole day with Papa Oranik. Unfortunately that day was not the best experience as the park had some issues at their food places.

Slowly the weeks went by, Ell at first working Open to Closes almost seven days a week, then slowly being cut back to about 55 hours a week. She met several new people, yet another Sirius, Sirius Forte, another Sly, Sly Monte, Gore, Norma, and a few others that she really did not talk to that much. Sirius F., Sly M., Norma, Drake, and Ell became really great friends, and whenever they were not working, they would hang out. Ell was lucky enough to find the local skate park and chilled there whenever she possibly could.

As the weeks went on, things at the park began changing. First the way people were allowed to enter the park changed, then they decided to change the type of re-entry ink. Normally you viewed the ink under a black light, but with this new stuff all you needed to do was look at the persons' hand. The ink was like a runny paint, it got everywhere, not to mention that Ell had issues with it burning her hands. She believed she was allergic, but her superiors would not let her go get medical treatment, and by the third day that Crater Joint would have used the "visible" ink, they had switched back to the old ink.

When things began to slow down even more, Ell was able to go home and visit Opium, Gwen, Sirius, and Sly. On the way to visit Opium, Ell was following Sirius and was pulled over by the Police. The officer did not question Sirius or Gwen at all, but apparently Ell was still reacting to the ink and her face was all swollen. The officers assumed she had been drinking, taking illegal drugs, or prescription drugs. None of that was true, and Ell decided instead of going to work that evening, she would sleep at her parent's house.

Apparently Papa Oranik saw her face and he told her that they were going to the hospital. At the hospital, Ell was prescribed a steroid, and some allergy medicine. The next day, Ell went to her doctor, and was told the same thing as the hospital said. She got a note saying she was not allowed to be in contact with the ink, or the area the ink was in. Crater Joint missed the memo somewhere, and the very next day, Ell was exposed to the ink again. As a matter of fact, Ell had 1 more incident after the original re-exposure. When Ell visited her doctor again, she got a note saying she needed to be transferred. By this time, due to unfair treatment, Drake had quit, Sly quit because of personal reasons, Norm, and Sirius were close to quitting, but Ell wanted to stick through whatever she had to face.

Crater Joint finally followed through with the instructions from the doctor, but they cut Ells' hours down to 24 hours a week. Working 4 hours a day 6 days a week did not really appeal to Ell. She was able to get more done, and spend more time with friends, but was not even making enough money to be living on her own. After 2 and a half weeks of dealing with the new schedule, Ell gave up her dreams of working at Crater Joint…(for the time being at least.)

Ell moved back home in July, and for once, she could not be happier. She could patch things up between her parents and herself, and Sirius and herself. Also she could have more time to enjoy summer and do whatever she wanted to do. There was an extreme sports competition that was coming near her hometown and last time one came through, she volunteered. So once again she stepped up to perform her civic duties. Also she was able to see a Mudd concert for free, and hang out with Drake for a whole week. Sly, Opium, and Gwen were able to talk about things, and catch up with Ell. Sirius was still working at Grape Cake and really was not able to hang out. Eventually, Ell and Sirius patched things up once and for all, they re-enacted old times, stayed out all night, and just spent some quality time together.

Also Papa Oranik and Sly became really close, and Sly became just like a brother to Ell. Slowly everyone began being able to hang out even more, and Ell was gone from her house for days at a time. Mamma Oranik was not too happy at first, but eventually began tolerating the "all night" romps. Ell just made sure if she was going to be out all night she either had a place to stay or her keys with her so she would not have to wake up Papa Oranik.

Since Drat, and Sister became total jerks, Ell and her friends were no longer friends with them, and found ways to annoy them whenever they possibly could. Drat and Sister began hanging out with Francis who was a complete and utter jerk to Sirius. Ell almost always drove out to see Sirius, Sly and Opium. Also Gwen had moved in with Opium and they were engaged. Ell could not have been happier for her friends.

One evening Ell and Sirius were invited to attend a concert in Ronkar. Ell went to pick up Sirius from Grape Cake, and they headed toward the concert. Ell did not want to stay long as it was at a bar. Around 10:30, Ell and Sirius left. They decided to spend the night out together. They drove down a cul-de-sac and did what they used to always do. Emotions and hormones running high and dry, they made sweet and savory love. It was as good as Ell remembers, in some ways even better, this served as a turning point. Ell and Sirius over the next few weeks became closer than ever before.

A few weeks after their "fling" reunion, Ell and Sirius spent yet another evening together. Ell had been out driving with Sirius, Opium, Gwen, and Sly all night and dropped them all off before 4 am. At 4 am, Ell pulled down a cul-de-sac by Sirius' house and they chilled in the car. They began talking about things, and kissing. One thing led to another, and before long both of their hormones were raging hot and wild. Ell was ready to rip the clothing off of Sirius. Every little touch made her shudder in pure ecstasy, every kiss made her cringe, she wanted him, and he wanted her. They were whispering sweet nothings in each others ears. As things began to heat up, Ell begged for them to become as one. "I want you now, give it to me, I want you, I want you, I want YOU!" Slowly Ells' wish began to be granted. They made the best love Ell had ever had. Every thrust left Ell begging and moaning for more. Sirius was in complete and utter bliss, his body going into perfect, smooth rhythm. Ell screamed as she orgasimed. They kept going for a few more minutes, both in utter bliss. Ell began to give oral pleasure to Sirius and he moaned, his muscles tensed and released, he was in his own personal heaven. Both people will never forget that evening.

In a way Sirius was planning this as a surprise for Ell, her birthday was coming up in a few weeks, but also she was going away to California for two weeks and he would not be able to see her until about a week after she returned.
