Chapter 3

Chloe's Return

(Ella's P.O.V.)

Well, today is the day.

Schools starts in 2 days, and Chloe is moving in today.

I decided to have some of the girls come over to welcome her to La Push.

Chloe's been keeping in touch with Lucy, Natalia and Macy...but she hasn't really met any of my friends that are actually our age so Kaylee, Madison, Nina and then a few new friends I made through out high school...Belinda, Payton, Skylar and Emerson. All four of them are gonna be seniors.

So far Belinda is who I've been hanging out with most.

She does ballet with me in Port Angeles and I see her everyday at practice.

Now my dance schedule goes about 5 days a week.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5-8pm, and then on Saturdays from 11am to 2pm.

Our teacher is having all of her advanced students make an even bigger commitment this year.

Chloe does dance...but she's not as serious about it as I am.

Sure enough

I'm not gonna lie...Chloe is pretty good, but she finds it as more a hobby than a lifestyle.

Chloe isn't so sure what she wants to yet either.

So now that makes 2 people I know, one being my boyfriend who is currently enrolling in the "University of the Undecided".

LOL

"ELLA!" Chloe said as she hopped out her parents car.

"CHLOE!" I yelled running towards her to give her a big hug.

It's been way too long since I've last seen this girl.

Now she's actually going to be living in La Push AT MY HOUSE!

It took me a second that she looked different.

"¿Qué te hizo decidir volver a su color natural" I asked her as I carefully examined her hair.

(what made you decide to go back to your natural color)

I was a little suprised.

Chloe looks so different with her natural brown hair.

She finally got rid of that ugly blonde color.

Dark brown looks alot better.

"It was more of a last minute decision. I got sick of blonde...so I changed it back to my natural color." She told me.

"Well good. This suits you alot better." I said.

"Hello?" I heard Nina say from behind me.

"Oh—right! Um Chloe these are some of my friends Belinda, Payton, Skylar, Emerson and Nina. They're gonna be seniors too." I introduced everyone.

"Hi." All the girls said.

Chloe smiled and waved.

"So I guess we better get started if you wanna get unpacked before dark. A bunch of kids from school and what not are hanging out at the beach." Nina said.

"So the beach is still the usual hang out spot?" Chloe asked.

"When it's not raining." Emerson told her.

"Okay so let's get this all started now so we go to the beach later...by the way Ella...I talked to Collin the other day." Chloe said very shyly.

"Collin as in my cousin Collin?" Nina asked.

"Yea...Chloe has a little...well you know...crush!" I said playfully while elbowing Chloe in her arm.

"Yea yea...but I've only hung out with him once. Quil, Embry, Jacob and Gabe were the only guys I really talked to when I came up here a few years ago...oh yeah and then there's Seth. Every once in a while I would hit them up and we'd chat on Facebook. Did I tell you that Collin texted me the other day?" Chloe said.

"Okay so you talked to the guy in persone ONCE and yet you still exchanged digits on Facebook? SPILL!" I demanded as my friends and I grabbed some of Chloe's stuff and brought it upstairs.

"Okay so it all started about a month ago when I was still in Barcelona. Regardless how late it was in Barcelona. I was still up an Collin was online so I sent him a simple message saying hey...with the occasional smiley face." Chloe bit her lip.

"And..." Nina said.

Chloe kinda left us hanging.

"Okay so then we started talking and he asked me how I was liking Spain. At first we talked about a bunch of random stuff like school and how I was liking Spain...all of a sudden it got to the topic of me having a boyfriend and I quickly told him no seeing that A, it was the truth and B, I didn't have my eye on any Spanish boy for the time being. Then I told about how I was moving to La Push to live with Ella and both of us got very excited about it for a quick second. So I got back the U.S. about 2 weeks ago and he called me a few times and then yesterday...he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him sometime before school starts...and I said yes."

"Awww that's cute...just know that Collin can be very goofy and REALLY clumsy when gets around a girl that he potentially likes...in this case you." Nina told her.

"Hahahahaha ahhhhh...good times." Belinda chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Chloe asked her.

"You should have seen him the day he first met my older sister Clarissa. Funniest thing ever!" Belinda chuckled.

Belinda is my friend Clarissa Gordon's younger sister.

Both of them used to go to Forks and then Belinda transfered to La Push High School after Clarissa graduated.

Clarissa's been busy attending school at the University of North Carolina.

She's majoring in dance.

Yea Clarissa didn't get into Julliard like she wanted.

I won't go into details as to what her reaction was...but you can say that it was pretty ugly.

Now as to Collin...

So I had a few of the girls from my dance classes hang out with me at the beach with me the day after we all got out of school and we ran into some of the boys.

For the record...Collin DID NOT imprint on her.

He quickly said hello and then nearly fell over his own feet when he left.

Hmmmmmmm, it was so funny.

"So what's up with Macy, Natalia and Lucy?" Chloe asked me.

"Oh they decided to go down to Seattle for their Summer trip. They're coming back today along with the Collin, Brady, Gabe and a few others who went to the Oregon coast beaches for a week." I told her.

"Are they all gonna be at the—"

"Yea they'll be there." Payton cut her off.

"We have all of this..." Skylar said pointing at all the boxes we carried into my brother's old room.

It took us about 3 trips to bring up all 8 boxes...and they were heavy.

Since Chloe is practically family...Mom decided to go all out and make the room look good.

It was similar as to how I fixed up my room except we painted Chloe's room emerald green and then put up a few modern paintings mom found online for a really good bargain.

http:/ design heaven . files . word press . com / 2010/ 01/ sheila - brdiges - green - bedroom . jpg

Chloe LOVES IT!

Then again her and I have that in common...good taste lol.

"I assure you it doesn't take long for me to unpack." Chloe told us.

"It doesn't" I reasurrred the other girls.

"Nearly half of these boxes are just clothes and shoes...not mention that I did a little bit of last minute shopping in Spain." Chloe said.

"Then what's in the other boxes?" Nina asked her.

"Everything else that isn't clothes." I mumbled.

"Picture frames, more pictures, little knick knacks I always hang up in my room. Pretty much basic stuff to make the room feel more at home ." Chloe shrugged.

I laughed when I opened one of the boxes that had clothes in it.

"Wow Chloe you would. Copycat!" I teased.

"Oh hush! I was the one who had suggested that you sort out all of your clothes in your closet. I was simply following my own advice. It was alot easier to pack everything that way." Chloe told me.

It's become a habit of mine now.

My closet is sorted out by color.

It's almost like a little color spectrum.

"Ugh! I can't believe school starts in 2 days!" Chloe said as she plopped herself onto the bed.

"Last first day of school...I'm actually kinda scared." Nina bit her lip.

"Please...don't remind me." I muttered.

"I mean I'm still trying to process all of this crap into my head. I'm going to be graduating from high school in less than a year and even before I...Ella May Rose Gardner will be auditioning for Julliard in February. My heart is already beating fast as it already is." I exclaimed.

"Chill before you break a blood vessel! Let's not forget that I'm auditioning too! DUH! Our auditions are on the same day...we have to drive down all the way to Seattle" Belinda told me.

"Yea yea I know...hey so are you gonna help me out with the beginners ballet class next week? Madame needs another helper." I asked her.

"I can't I have to work on my senior project."

"Well that's cool...on second thought...Chloe your coming to my dance studio with me next week. No excuses!" I said very quickly.

"Ella." She said in a very salty tone.

"Come on Chloe please? Pretty please...don't make me pull the puppy dog face on you." I threatened.

"I take that back okay okay okay I'll do it!" Chloe snapped.

"Shweet." I said through my teeth.

~~~~A few short hours later~~~~

We just left my house and now we're walking to the beach.

"To be honest...the beaches in Spain are alot mor—" Chloe sentence got cut right when a truck had literally drove right pass us and then stopped.

There's only one person I know who would do that...

"Wow Lucy you would do that!" I said running up to the car door.

"Nice to see you too Ella...my summer trip was simply amazing." Lucy shrugged.

"Yea yea...hey girls." I waved to Natalia and Macy.

"Hey!" All three of them stuck their heads out the window to say hi to everyone else.

"Oh my God! Chloe it's been forever...Ella said you were gonna stay in La Push...but she never said anything about you getting here today!" Lucy said.

"Surprise!" I smiled.

"Smooth." Natalia nodded.

"Okay hop into the back before all of us get hit by a car. We're on our way to the beach right now." Lucy told us.

All of us hopped into the back regardless if it is illegal lol.

It was already 5pm when we got there.

"Looks like some of the boys beat us here." Lucy said as we all got out of the truck.

We parked right next to Jacob and Seth's cars.

"Finally I can take off my shoes." I said as I kicked off my flip flops and shoved them into my bag before walking into the sand.

"Ella wait for us!" Chloe yelled from behind.

The boys were waving right as us.

I had quickly jumped into Seth's arms when I got close enough and he spun me around in a circle before putting me down.

"Hey." I said before he got the chance to crash his lips up against mine.

"Hi." Seth whispered before I brought my face back to his and continued.

"Are you two done now?" Chloe yelled.

"Chloe long time no see." Seth said.

"Yea...good to see you too Seth...get used to it now...you're gonna end up seeing me everyday once school starts." Chloe told him.

"Cool." Seth nodded.

"Chloe." Collin waved.

"Hey!" Chloe quickly walked over to Collin with a big smile onher face and hugged him.

"How are you?" He asked her.

"Great. I'm glad that I'm finally here." She admitted shyly."

How cute.

"Well good...I'm glad you're here too—"

"Collin where's Gabe?" Nina cut her cousin off.

"He'll be here later. He had to go run some quick errands." Brady told.

"Thank you Brady." Nina smugged.

"Okay my turn!" Embry walked over to Chloe and gave her a hug.

"Me alegra decir que mi español ha mejorado mucho desde la última vez que me vio." Embry told her in Spanish.
(I'm glad to say that my spanish has improved a lot since the last time you saw me)

"No del todo mal a mi amigo" Chloe nodded.
(Not bad at all my friend)

She was definitley impressed.

"So hows college treatin' ya?" Emerson asked Jacob, Quil and Embry.

"Ehhhh...boring." Quil shrugged.

"Says the guy who tries his hardest not to fall asleep in class." Jacob mumbled.

"Shut up." Quil spat.

"Chill...I'm kidding. Then again, I was simply speaking the truth—"

"That's it." Quil said before tackling Jacob to the ground.

"Jake my money is on you." I shouted.

"Come on Elle!" Quil whined.

"I'm with you on this one Quil!" Chloe told him.

"Ha!" Quil gestured towards me.

Before I could turn back to Chloe and say something to her...

She was already walking off with Collin.

"Well that was fast..." Payton muttered.

I'm sure Chloe will enjoy this now before out of no where some other girl comes along and ends up getting imprinted on by Collin.

"Dude...when did that happen?" Embry whispered pointing towards them.

"According to Chloe...they exchanged digits on Facebook...and then he texted her blah blah blah vice versa and that's just about it." I explained.

"Way to go Collin...beat me to the punch." Embry mumbled.

"Whoa whoa—you liked Chloe?" I asked him.

"Still does." Quil coughed.

"Either way...you break my friends heart and I will break your face...if it's even possible." I said.

All the boys busted out laughing.

"Oh hush...you all know I would if I could...better yet I'll just go and have Emmett do it for me." I chuckled.

"Oooooo now I'm scared." Embry teased.

"Or I could just go up top Chloe and tell her that you think she's—"

"NO!...I mean that won't be necessary." Embry said very quickly.

"Ooooooooooooo" Everyone else but Embry sang.

Ah, If only you could see the color of this boy's face.

It seriously just changed to red.

"We're kidding bro." Jacob punched him in the arm.

"Yea yea...story of my life." Embry mumbled.

"Gabe's on his way...he's right down the road." Brady said as he put his cell phone back in his pocket and tturned to kiss Lucy on the cheek.

"Dude! Is he bringing the hot dogs? Cause I can go get the cooler out of my trunk and then we can finally start partyin'!" Brady said.

We pretty much do this at the end of every summer.

A bunch of us always get together at the beach before we have to go back to school and just party.

My guess is that we'll be here till about...hmmmmm...maybe till midnight.

Seth and I usually stay out a little longer and just spend sometime alone walking around the beach.

BUT! Instead...I'm having some of the girls come over for a sleep over tonight.

My parent's are totally okay with it...in the long run I just feel really bad for Dad.

Now that Tony is off in Seattle for college, Dad is pretty much the ONLY man in the house.

So we always make sure to cut Dad some slack and let him take over the tv...every once in a while.

"Gabe's here." Quil said waving back at him from the dirt lot.

"Bout time. I'm hungry." Brady mumbled.

"Oh hush." Lucy said smacking her boyfriend on the chest.

"I'm just going to pretend that hurt." Brady teased as her made the most rediculous face...pretending to be in pain.

"Hmmmm Brady...sometimes...I just don't know what the hell am I suppost to do with you." Lucy chuckled, shaking her head.

"Well actually yo—well...on second thought I'm not even gonna answer that question." Brady hesitated.

"Hahaha Brady I love you." Lucy laughed.

"Oh so now you say it." Brady whined.

Lucy gave her boyfriend a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I take that back—"

"Now go and help my brother." Lucy said pushing him in the other direction.

All the boys except Collin ran back up to the dirt lot to go help Gabe.

"Dude! It's been only what—maybe 30 minutes and he's already holding her hand?" Skylar said pointing at Chloe and Collin who were walking down by the waves.

"CHLOE!" I yelled hoping she could hear me.

She turned her head in our direction.

"COME BACK! THE FOOD IS HERE!" I yelled to the both of them.

"COMING!" Chloe yelled back.

"Hmmmm...these boys crack me up. It sucks they won't be at school with us this year." Belinda said.

"Lindy please, we still talk to them all the time regardless." Emerson told her.

"True true." Belinda shrugged.

"What's up girls?" A familiar voice said from behind us.

"Gabe!" All of us said.

The boys just placed all the stuff they brought from Gabe's car on the ground.

"Who's the chick that's Collin's with?" Gabe asked.

He just glanced at her but didn't really look right at her.

"You'll see..." I mumbled.

"Did I miss something? I'm just cur—" Gabe said before Collin cut him off.

"Hey guys." Collin said.

"Hi Gabe." Chloe smiled.

That's when Gabe looked at her.

I mean REALLY looked at her...and he wouldn't stop.

I swear it's kinda like the look Seth gave me when I first me—Oh shit.

(Gabe's P.O.V.)

There she was...standing right in front of me.

She was beautiful.

Stop staring at her Gabe!

Okay I take that back I don't think I can stop.

Congratulations Gabriel...I think you just imprinted.

(Lucy's P.O.V.)

"Uh Gabe?" I said waving my hand in front of my brother's face.

He didn't budge.

He just kepts staring at Chloe with this somewhat blank expression on his face.

I knew this look...

Great.

This day seriously just got a whole lot more interesting.

My brother just imprinted on Chloe.

Collin has his hands wrapped around Chloe's waist without knowing that Gabe was gonna imprint on her.

Too late :/

Dear Rest Of The Day,

PLEASE...don't crash and burn.

(Ella's P.O.V.)

"Uh Seth? Did he just—" I began to whisper in Seth's ear before he interrupted me.

"Yea...I think he did." Seth mumbled quiet enough so only I could hear.

"Well that's just lovely..." I muttered.

Awkward silence.

"Uh...guys can I talk to you for a sec?" Jacob asked.

All the boys except Gabe moved.

"That's means you too." Embry grabbed his arms and dragged him away.

"Hi—Hey Chloe." Gabe stuttered as he Embry dragged him away.

"Okay what the hell just happened?" Natalia demanded an answer.

Lucy and I just looked at each other.

We were pretty much the only ones who actually knew what happened.

Then we looked back at our friends.

"No idea." We lied.

"Wow." Chloe giggled.

"When did Gabe get all buff...and he cut his hair...I like it." Chloe bit her lip.

"Well actually he's min—" Natalia began to say before Macy cut her off.

"Don't start." Macy warned her.

I guess you can say that as far as the rest of high school went for Gabe and Natalia...

Let's just say that after Gabe phased, he didn't really talk to Natalia pretty much after the last day of school.

All of us felt that the whole situation was sort of awkward in general.

Their junior year got even better (I'm being sarcastic.)

Gabe and Natalia got back together about a total of 3 times during their junior year.

Natalia ended up loosing her "v-card" to him senior year.

They broke up before graduation and decided to just "stay friends".

Natalia still makes it kind of obvious that she's NOT OVER HIM!

Gabe on the other hand just flaunts it all off.

So he's acting like it's not a big deal for her sake.

ESPECIALLY NOW!

Now she really doesn't have a choice.

Within a few months or so...Gabe will be with Chloe.

Okay since I am talking about Chloe, it might take a little longer than that for Gabe to really get a hold of her.

Chloe can play hard to get...only when she thinks it's necessary which is pretty much ALWAYS.

Chloe Chloe Chloe.

Hopefully Gabe will realize what he's in for.

She can be a handful.

"So what were you and Collin talking about?" I asked Chloe.

Hopefully this will help change the subject.

"Nothing important. All we did was talk about his summer trip that he just got back from. Then out of no where his hand started touching my hand and the next thing I knew...we were holding hands...and then for some reason Collin sort of dozed out of my mind after I saw Gabe..." Chloe trailed off.

She just stood there blankly staring out at the water.

Now she's bitting her lip and playing with her hair.

Oh Lord...I know this look.

"Chloe lo está haciendo de nuevo." I told her.
(Chloe you're doing it again)

"No, no estoy—"
(No I'm not)

"Entonces deja de jugar con tu cabello" I sang.
(Then stop playing with your hair.)

Chloe frowned and finally realized what she was doing.

She winced and then turned around so no one could see her face.

"Told you." I teased.

"Oh hush." Chloe blushed.

"Awww look at your face." I said.

"Ella—"

"I'm kidding Chloe." I chuckled.

"What you think they're talking about?" Skylar gestured over to the boys who were all huddled in a group a good distance from us so we couldn't understand what they're talking about.

Lucy and I knew for a fact what the boys were talking about.

In a way this totally sucks for Collin...and Natalia.

Hopefully it will all work out.

"No idea." I shrugged.

"Well it obviously has something to do with what happened. I mean did you see that way he looked at you?" Emerson said to Chloe.

"I didn't." Natalia mumbled.

"I think my brother likes you." Lucy told Chloe.

"Lucy—" Natalia began to say.

"Natalia!" Macy and I snapped at the same time.

Natalia squinted her eyes and pursed her lips together.

"Nevermind." She snarled.

"I'm gonna go see what's taking so long...Uh—Lucy come with me." I said.

"We'll be right back." Lucy assured the girls before we walked off to go talk to the guys.

Okay so Lucy and I actually ran instead of walking.

"Soooo...what's the deal?" I asked everyone.

"We're still trying to figure that out." Collin mumbled.

"Good job bro." Lucy said as she gave her brother a pat on the back.

"Don't get me started." Gabe muttered.

"So I guess this means I need to back off now." Collin mumbled in disappointment.

Poor guy.

"Yep. Sam's your alpha...so you're have to talk to him about that." Jacob said.

Jake quickly turned back to Gabe.

"Just relax. Act normal. Don't do anything stupid...but just talk to her. Nothing to subtle. Keep it simple." Jacob told him.

Gabe just nodded.

"You might wanna try and come up with a good excuse for the girls...you kinda left them all hanging. But Elle and I are pretty much the only ones who actually knows what happened." Lucy told Jacob.

"It's all good. I'm sure everyone will forget about it once we start eating." Jacob told us.

"Well let's just keep our fingers crossed on that one." I mumbled.

Seth walked on the other side of me and held my hand.

"Put it this way...now Chloe will eventually know everything." Seth compromised.

"Ugh... you know we are talking about Chloe." I rolled my eyes.

"And—"

"You'll see what I mean once you really start to get to know her...and I gauruntee that won't take long." I assured him.

"Whatever you say babe." Seth chuckled.

Just wait and see.
