Chapter 11: Meeting
(Two years after Mayella gave her kids to Eng, small skirmishes' had been fought but no large attack by Jane or Alec)
I
sat at on my bed, looking at the rug beneath my feet. It's been a
while since I had gone to Ella's, and I was going to keep it that
way. Her and Jake had gotten into a couple fights, pretty bad ones
too. He found out that I kissed her –because Edward had told him-
and he spent three days yelling at her, but being Ella, she knew how
to shut him up. She left the state.
She came back a month and a
half later, her hair was long again. Jake kept asking where she had
been but she ignored him, then he started telling me that I wasn't
allowed to be near her –which was a total blow off of my mind
because I hadn't seen her that whole month, in a matter of fact, I
didn't even know that she had left.
The phone rang. I sighed
and looked at it. Just let it ring Seth, just let it ring. I
thought to myself. But the ringing lasted forever. On and on it just
rang and rang and rang. Finally, standing up I grabbed it and clicked
it on.
"Hello?" I greeted.
"Seth! You coming over for
the cook out?" It was Sam. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.
"Nope."
"Why not?" He whined.
"Because Jake
doesn't want me around." I replied simply, falling back on my
bed.
"Jake may not want you around, but Ella does, and so does everyone else." He replied. I heard the sound of a car horn honk.
"Really?" I questioned, rolling over onto my stomach, looking out the window. It was sunny today.
"Yep," The sound of roaring could be heard.
"What the hell are you doing?" I laughed.
"Driving." He replied, a teasing tone in his voice.
"Naughty, naughty, there isn't anyone who breaks the laws more than cops." I laughed, teasing. He laughed. The sound of the roaring got louder. Suddenly out front the sound of tires squealing could be heard. "What the hell?" The phone clicked off. I looked at it confused. The sound of the front door opening reached my ears. Suddenly Sam busted through my door. I screamed as he grabbed me and pulled me into his arms. "Let go! I can't go!" I screamed, kicking. He lifted me off the ground. I continued squirming. He sank his teeth into my shoulder. I screamed and stopped kicking. "You're rabid! I should put you down!" I squealed, trying to pull my shoulder out of his mouth. He laughed and practically jumped down the steps.
"You're under arrest." He hollered, walking out on the porch. Some old ladies who were walking their dogs stopped to watch.
"Don't you dare put handcuffs on me jerk off!" I snarled.
"Hello Sam." One of the ladies called.
"Hello Rose, how are you?" He called back.
"Don't ignore me!" I snarled.
"Oh I'm doing well. I never knew you were into guys like that." She smiled. We both stopped. I looked back at him and made a disgusted face.
"Oh yes, we do it every night." He replied, smiling. He grabbed a handful of my junk, squeezing. I wheezed, pain ripping through my hips. I couldn't breathe. The girls looked at each other and tittered something that sounded like Oh how exciting. He held onto me, his fingers digging in around it as he headed down the porch and threw me in the back seat. Slamming the door shut he locked them and climbed in the driver's side. "You take care ladies." he called out, starting the car.
"Alright, you two be careful, don't hurt each other." they replied. He waved to them and pulled out of the driveway.
"You know, you didn't have to tell them we were gay." I grumbled as we left LA Push. He just simply laughed. I sat in the back, my arms crossed as I watched the houses and the trees rush by us. We pulled off onto the hidden path and up the driveway to the Cullen's house. Tj was on the front porch talking with Alex. Sam hit the siren and they jumped. Tj smiled and waved. I rolled down the window. "He kidnapped me! So anyone who doesn't want me here tell them to blame Sam!" I hollered out. Alex laughed.
"But Tj loves it when you're here!" he hollered back. I laughed. Tj hauled off and hit him in the arm, not terribly hard, but it was enough to make Alex recoil and rub his arm, of course he kept the smile on his face. I laughed harder.
"Wow, the people we know." I chuckled. Sam smiled at me in the rearview mirror as he parked in between Rosalie's convertible and Emmett's jeep.
"And just think we're the center of it all." I snorted.
"Under exaggeration times seven." He laughed and turned shut the car off. Putting the keys in his pocket he opened the door and climbed out. Coming to the back he grabbed the handle and opened my door. That's what I hated about cruisers; you couldn't get out of the back from the inside.
"Seth!" I looked up. Ella came rushing down the steps. I smiled as she threw her arms around me. I felt my heart pound as I hugged her back, feeling warm inside. "Wow, you look good. Emo but good." She giggled, pulling away. I laughed and looked down. I was still in my Pj's. I was wearing a pair of black sweat pants and a long black T-shirt.
"I'd look better if I was actually allowed to change before Sam kidnapped me." She smiled and nodded.
"Or naked." I laughed, snorting a couple times.
"That makes two of us." He replied winking. She giggled and pressed her lips against mine quickly.
"May!" Jake snarled from the doorway. She whirled around and looked at him. He had his arms crossed, his eyes burning with a glare.
"It's just a friendly kiss Jake! Get the stick out of your ass!" She snapped. My jaw dropped. I'd never heard her snap like that before.
"Well if you'd stop pushing yourself on people maybe I wouldn't be so damn protective!" He snarled. She blinked, looking like she was slapped in the face.
"Excuse me?" She laughed. "Me? Push myself on people Jake? Look who's calling the kettle black!"
"I don't recall having sex with Sam!" He hollered his fists clenched.
"And I don't recall having sex with Leah either! Your own family member you incest bastard!" She snarled back.
"Whoa! Ells calm your hormones!" I whimpered.
"At least I didn't make out with our son!" He snapped back. Everything was quiet.
"Anytime you want a divorce Jacob! Just tell me and I'll gladly leave you!" She growled. He looked at her shocked. Had they been fighting so badly lately?
"I just want you to stop kissing people you're not married to!" He snarled in return.
"Well if I'm not mistaken you kissed Malinda!"
"And you flipped out on her! I wasn't romantically involved with her! You were with Seth!"
"You were too!" I hollered. They both stopped and looked at me. I pinched my lips together and looked away. Jake's face darkened in color as he blushed.
"You were romantically involved with Seth?" She asked looking at him.
"I was drunk." He barked quickly.
"You…got drunk and made out with Seth." She repeated slowly.
"It was more than making out." Sam muttered. She whirled around, her eyes wide and wild with curiosity.
"Did you go all the way?" She smiled at me. My face turned hot.
"Uh,"
"May stop, it's a tender subject."
"Yeah."
"I want to hear the details!" She squealed. I ran past her and to the porch, stopping next to Jake. I looked at her horrified. That's what Ellie had said the day she died.
"No!" We both squealed at the same time.
"Please?" She pleaded.
"No!" Jake howled, his face turning almost a cherry red.
"Reenactment?"
"No! You freak!" I squealed. Jake laid his hand on my waist and started to lead me into the house. Ella continued to follow us, begging for us to show her what we had done.
"Edward can you tell your daughter to stop harassing us?" Jake questioned. He looked at the hand on my waist, and then smiled, trying to fight back laughter.
"Please show May your little…session."
"Edward!" I snarled. Jake hissed.
"I'm sorry it's just, Jake is thinking so wildly about it right now, everything in deep details." I looked at Jake questioningly. He buried his face in his hand. I moved away from him and shoved out onto the back porch. I didn't want to be around Ella and Jake, especially not when the truth was out and about.
"Hi fudge packer." Emmett greeted. I glared at him.
"You're next dude." I muttered. He laughed and held his hands over his butt. Bella was at the grill, flipping chicken and hamburgers. Ella came out and leapt the steps, landing in the grass.
"Has anyone heard from Eng?" She asked. No one answered. She grunted loudly and tugged at her hair. She had been keeping intact with Eng for the first year, but then he had just…stopped changing. "I'm going insane! I want to know if he's alright." She whined, pacing back and forth. Bella turned around and gave her a tight hug, comforting her.
"I'm sure he's fine." She replied. I felt a hot hand on my shoulder. I turned around confused. Tj was smiling at me. I laughed and gave him a hug. He hugged me tightly, a slight wheezed escaping his lips.
"How are you doing?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders, still smiling. Leaning forward he gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. I laughed and pulled away. "Maybe you should stop doing that; people are going to wonder about us." I joked. He laughed and pushed himself into my arms. I looked at him confused as he stood there, practically cuddling me. I looked around. Some of the others were looking at me with snickers. I swallowed hard and shifted, but he didn't move away from me. He leaned up and pressed his lips against my chin. I pulled away. "Whoa dude! Do you by any chance have the hots for me?" He looked at me, his cheeks turning red.
"And you're just figuring this out?" Alex boomed. I looked at him confused.
"Seth, Tj has had the hots for you for a while now. Since you and your girl got married." Jessie explained. I looked at him shocked. He smiled and grabbed at the bottom of his shirt. He pulled it up, flashing off his stomach. I looked at it. It was smooth, almost muscle-less. He smiled at me.
"Tj," I shook my head, sighing. "Flashing me your feminine stomach isn't going to turn me on, so stop seducing me." I replied. He laughed quietly and wrapped his arms around me once more. He brushed his face on my neck. I rolled my eyes and looked away. Behind us, the sound of snapping twigs reached our ears. Everyone went quiet and stared at the woods. Tj even did me the favor of backing off.
We all waited. A man crawled out of the woods, his arms long, slender. His body was lanky, and thin. His skin was slightly tanned, his fingernails long. He wore a pair of loose pants, a long, loose Sari type of shirt, his hair pulled back into a short, spiky ponytail. Everyone stood up. Behind him a woman came out. She looked almost just like the man, her long hair pulled back into a long braid. She wore a short shirt and a pair of long, tie side pants. Her stomach was smooth, and flat. My heart stopped. She was beautiful.
"Who are you?" Carlisle questioned, moving to the front of our group. The boy moved forward, a defiant smile on his face. He stood up straight. God he was tall! He must have been about 7'1" at least!
"Who wants to know?" He snickered. Everyone raised their defenses'.
"Cool down brother." The woman spoke. Her voice sent chills through my body, my heart pounding, racing like wild. I couldn't stop staring at her, her beautiful features. Her thin body, her well defined lips with which her upper lip was slightly larger, fuller. Her nose was small, with a narrow bridge. Her cheeks were speckles with light freckles. Her eyes were light blue and filmy looking. My body caught on fire.
"Tell us who you are." Edward demanded.
"Or you'll do what exactly?" The boy chortled.
"Or we'll tear you limb from limb and stash the pieces." Alex butted in. The wind blew in towards us. Their blood was so strong! It was sweet and delicious smelling. It was like, it made their external appearance even more attractive –which unfair seeing how they were gorgeous on the outside.
"Tear me," He smiled.
"Enough Moku." A voice said behind them. Ella gasped her eyes wide.
"M-Moku?" Eng stepped forward from the woods, his long white hair pulled back into a ponytail.
"Where's Mayella?" he asked, a smile on his face. Ella stepped forward. She was shaking. Eng smiled. "Hello Mayella, it's been a while, how are you?" She didn't say anything, she just squeaked. No one knew why she was acting this way. A cluster of tears trickled down her cheeks.
"Moku? Is that my-" Eng nodded.
"Moku, Enli, meet your mother, Mayella." They looked at each other, and then back at Ella shocked, their eyes wide.
"She's our mother?" Moku howled, pulling away from his sister, his hands clasping over his mouth. Ella looked at him hurt. Eng raised an eyebrow.
"Is there a problem with that?" He asked. Moku looked at her and caught the hurt expression and laughed nervously, itching his head.
"It's just," He paused and dropped his arms. "I thought she was hot."
"That's my son!" Jake howled. Moku looked at him shocked. Eng nodded.
"Oh yeah, that's your idiot father Jacob." Jake glared at him. Moku smiled and raised an eyebrow, looking at Jacob carefully.
"He's hot too." Everyone just stared at him. Enli shook her head, her hand over her eyes.
"Stop being a horn dog." Moku laughed.
"I can't help it." Ella moved forward, slowly, her eyes still wide. Moku looked at her confused. Then suddenly he just ran at her, tackling her to the ground. "Oh mommy I haven't seen you in so long!" He cried. We all just stared at him. Was he retarded? She cried, slightly confused, but she hugged him tightly.
"He's such a boob." Enli replied. She walked over and wrapped her arms around Ella. She laughed lightly and hugged her children tightly –Moku doing some unnecessary howling into his mothers chest. "Stop being a drama queen!" Enli slapped him. He stopped and glared at her as if he hadn't been crying at all.
"You have no idea how happy I am to see her do you." He said flatly.
"And you have no idea how retarded you sound, do you?" She shot back. He stuck her tongue out at her. She returned it.
"I have to introduce you to your family." Ella cooed, moving her daughters hair out of her face. Pulling away she smiled and started to point, but Moku rushed forward and threw his arms around Carlisle.
"Great granddaddy Carl!" He howled. Carlisle laughed and hugged him. "Great grandmamma who is looking extremely hot right now Esme!" He hugged her.
"So I take it you know your family." Ella smiled. Enli nodded.
"Yes, Uncle Eng spent a lot of time telling us stories about you all." Ella smiled. Moku went back to his mother's side. She reached out and hugged them one more time. Such a weird day, I get kidnapped, people found out I was wrecked by Jake, Ella's kids come back and last but not least….I think I imprinted.
