~Dazzler 916~
Chapter 7
18 is nothing special
(Ella's P.O.V.)
Today is the day.
To be honest it doesn't feel so exciting like I thought it would be. I have this gut feeling like this day is gonna be just like it was when I turned 16.
Ha...let me tell ya.
Nearly a few days before I turned 16, I got overly excited about my birthday and then when it actually came...I felt like crap.
Now here I am...lying in bed...staring at the ceiling...thinking to myself...wow...
I'm finally 18.
Woohoo!...on second thought, how about no whoo hooo :P.
It's just another plain old day.
Any second now my famliy is gonna barge into my room and start yelling my face.
Maybe if I'm luck, the earplugs I have in my ears will do me some justice and drown out all of the noise for another hour or so.
It's Sunday...there fore it's a school night.
So I have decided to do absolutely nothing this year for my birthday.
JUST KIDDING!
I'm just having a few friends come over for a few hours and pig out on junk food till about 10 pm-ish...then after everyone has to leave, Seth is sneaking back into my room like he always does after he has to "leave" and we're pretty much gonna spend sometime alone in the little room next to my closet like we always do.
I think this time I'll be waiting for them to barge through the door.
Quietly I sat up and rested my back up against the wall.
...
...
Any minute now.
It's already 10 am.
Everyone should be up by now.
I'm always the last to get up...so here I am staring at the door waiting patiently for it to open.
~~~15 minutes later~~~
Okay...still waiting.
Maybe I should make some sort of noise to let them know I'm awake.
I let out a very loud fake yawn...
It was still quiet.
Jeez.
It is my birthday...should I really have to get out of bed to let people know I'm awake.
Usually they wake me up.
What the hell?
"Looks like I'm gonna have to get out of bed." I mumbled to myself.
But first, I need to go the bathroom and make myself look somewhat presentable.
I got up and out of my bedroom.
"Hello?" I yelled down the hallway.
No answer.
They must be trying to scare me or something.
"They can't scare me." I scoffed.
I continued into the bathroom where I brushed me teeth, washed my face and then untagled my hair out of the braid I put it in last night.
I brought my head down towards my knees and started playing with my hair.
"There we go." I mumbled as I put my hair back into a messy bun.
Finally...I'm goin' down the stairs.
"I know yall are here." I said.
Still know answer.
"Okay quit playing around..." I was getting frustrated as I started searching all over the place downstairs.
I kept spinning in circles till I got dizzy.
"Can we stop this? I still have things to do—AHA!" I said.
I felt someone put there hand on my shoulder and my first instinct was to kick them.
Sure enough I did without bothering to look around to see who I actually hit.
The person grunted loudly and hit the floor with a thud.
"Holy shit!" The very familiar voice said...they sounded like they were in pain.
Oh my God...I didn't...wait no...
I turned around to find my boyfriend crouched up on the floor.
Good job Ella May...I hope you didn't just nuder your boyfriend.
"SETH! Oh my God baby I'm so sorry!" I shrieked as I bent down beside him
Now I was the one freaking out.
"That's partially my fault...now I know not to do that again." He moaned.
"Ay dios mio." I mumbled in Spanish as I covered my face with my hands.
Well this is a great start...
"Here let me help you." I said trying to help him up.
It didn't take him long to stand up...he was till in pain.
"Just don't throw up or anything...well that's what I've heard happens when you hit a guy in his—"
"Babe...I'm okay. Relax." Seth assured me.
"How the hell did u get into my house anyway? And where is everyone?" I asked.
"Well...I was told to get you out of the house. They don't want you to worry about anything." Seth panted.
"Oh...in that case. I'll be back in 15 minutes...unless you wanna come upstairs with me." I suggested.
Seth stood up in a heart beat.
"Allow me." Seth scooped me up into his arms.
"Well you recovered fast." I mumbled as he carried me up the stairs.
"Well you know—"
"Yea yea you're a wolf blah blah blah...now put me down." I said.
Charlotte walked out of my room and stood there looking up at us.
She tilted her head...knowing Charlotte, she was trying to figure out why Seth was holding me.
"Hey Lotty!" I said as Seth finally placed me back down so I could pet her.
She began licking my face.
"Okay okay okay! Save it for later." I said pushing her off of me and continuing to walk back into my room.
"Good morning." I whispered in my boyfriend's ear.
"Happy Birthday." Seth said before leaning in to kiss me.
"Thanks..." I trailed off before leaning in to kiss him again.
Here we go...
"Uh Seth...we can do this later...we have to leave." I reminded him.
"Oh—right." He muttered with a sly disappointed look on his face.
"Mmmmhmmm." I said before pulling off my shirt and changing into another one.
"I swear today is gonna be just as crappy as it was when I turned 16." I mumbled as I started shuffling through my closet for my black skinny jeans.
"You're over thinking it Elle. It won't be bad at all. Trust me I know...I'm 18 too ya know."
"Said the adult." I muttered.
"I heard that—"
"Just kidding. And besides that there isn't much you can really do anyway. Yea, I'm 18 now which means I'm allowed to buy lottery tickets, cigarettes—ew, I can order things on an info-mercial by myself...go to clubs...and I think that's just about it." I said walking back out into my room.
"Whoa..." Seth mumbled.
"I love these jeans...they make my butt look good." I giggled as I started checking myself out in the mirror
"Anyway." Seth walked up behind me and placed his hands on my way waist and rested his head on my shoulder.
"It's almost been 3 years for us." I said.
"I know..."
"Seth I've been thinking." I told him as he started kissing my neck.
Fine then...ignore what I just said Seth.
"Seth knock it off and listen to me." I said pushing his face away with my hand and walking away to grab my keys, my shoes, my jacket and my cell phone.
"Okay I'm listening—"
"Nope you missed your chance...you can find out later then." I shook my head before walking out the back door of my room.
"Ella."
"Seth." I mimicked him.
"Fine. You have my attention. Tell me what you're gonna say." My boyfriend said as he threw his hands up in the air.
I shook my head.
"I'll tell you later." I sang.
"Fine." Seth huffed.
"Soooo...you gonna tell me why parents are trying to kick me out of the house?" I asked.
"I can't tell you." Seth pretended to zip his lips.
"Pshhh. Fine then, be that way." I muttered under my breath.
"Before you even ask...yes I did get you something...but you'll find out later" Seth said reaching for my hand.
"If there are anymore surprises that cause me to hurt someone...I blame you. Not just because it happened to you first." I chuckled.
"So how did things go with Chloe and Gabe?" He asked me.
Hmmmm...that's a good question.
"By the time she got home last night I was about to fall asleep. I was hoping to catch up with her this morning but she wasn't home. NO ONE WAS...then you showed up out of no where." I said.
"Ohhhh—"
"I don't know what it is about Chloe...she's just different. I don't know if I'm just imagining things or she just seems to be a little more conservative than she normally is. I mean. Chloe is Chloe but I—Hmmmm I just can't get my finger on it." I thought to myself.
"I didn't get details, but Gabe said the date went really well."
"Well good...that's just good." I mumbled.
"Ella you got that look on your face...what are you thinking about—"
"I don't know Seth. It's gonna bother me until I figure it out." I snapped letting go of his hand.
"Damn it I'm sorry." My mood had quick changed.
Well this morning is going great.
"Get enough sleep last night?" Seth asked me.
"Nope." I said right away.
"I figured..."
"Gee I wonder why I'm so tired?" I asked in an obvious matter.
"Well next time I'll be sure to leave a 1 am instead of 3am." Seth suggested.
"Smart idea—Ugh who am I kidding? I like spending time with you late hours of the night...when no one knows you're at my house." I chuckled.
"Me too—"
"Just kiss me already." I demanded before bringing my face back to his.
Our brief kissing moment was interrupted by some honking at us.
"Get out of the middle of the road and get a room!" The very familiar voice shouted.
"Jared it's simple...drive around us. Better yet if ya try and run me over I'll come after you." I said.
"Psssh. My ass! Keep moving I'm on my way to go get Kim." He told us.
"Fine. Tell her I said hey."
"Sure thing. Later guys." Jared drove off.
"I'm gonna guess that we're going to the beach since were right across the road." I said.
"Yea...pretty much. That was my plan. Nothing much. We have to be back by 3pm. I promised your parents you would be back by 3." Seth told me.
"Okay enough talk—race you to the rock cave!" I said making a run for it.
I always cheat and start running before I even start talking.
"I know how we can get there faster." Seth quickly scooped me up into his arms.
"Hey!" I whined.
"I'm saving time?" Seth huffed.
"For what? Put me down!" I demanded.
Seth put me back on my feet.
"Thanks...okay so back to what I was talking about. So I've been thinking about our anniversary..." I trailed off.
"Uh huh..."
"And how you and I are really starting to get serious when we—okay I'm just gonna spit this out. Seth are you a virgin?" I asked him.
"Uhhhhh..." Seth said in am awkward tone.
"YOU'RE NOT A VIRG—"
"Ella take it easy...yea I am." Seth verified in a low tone.
"Well you didn't sound so sure." I crossed my arms.
"Well...no one's really asked me that before." Seth mumbled.
"Ohhhhhh—"
"Why? Are you a virgin?" Seth asked me.
"Well DUH! But that's not the point...Okay...it sort of is." I admittted.
"I'm...confused. Help me out here." He pleaded.
"Hmmmmmm." I thought to myself.
Slow down Ella you're getting ahead of yourself.
"Okay...so I've been thinking—"
"You already said that Ella." Seth reminded me.
"I take that back. I'll just spit it out...Seth...on our anniversary...I think it would be a good time to finally..." Okay who am I kidding.
Ella you've already said enough. You can't stop now.
"Finally what?" He asked.
"Well we've almost gotten there before—I mean—okay...let's just say...if we just so happen to get even more carried away on our anniversary...I won't stop us." I told him.
Seth's head snapped up and his eyes had suddenly gotten bigger.
"You think we're ready?"
I just nodded.
"3 years Seth...we've gotten this far. You've told me absolutely everything. You gave me this." I said pointing to the promise ring he gave me.
"I don't want to feel so hesitant about the decisions I make. I'm 18 now, meaning I'm legally an adult. I'm free to do whatever the hell I want." I said straight forward.
"O..kay—"
"Seth do you love me?" I asked him.
"You know I do." He answered that right away.
"How much?"
Seth looked at me like I was crazy.
"Seriously?" He asked me.
I just nodded.
"Well...let's just say there's apart of me that can really show better than I can tell you." He whispered in my ear.
"Exactly." I clued him in.
...
I gave him a second to think it over...
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh."
I think he just figured it out.
"Now you understand." I chuckled.
"Glad to see we're on the same page." He murmured before leaning in to kiss me.
"October 25th?" I asked.
"October 25th...wait a second...our anniversary is on a school night this year." Seth told me.
Shit.
That's a thursday.
"Well it's simple. We get together on the actual date and skip school friday...or just do it friday." I said.
"I know you're already thinking about missing school friday." Seth said right away.
"Yea pretty much. Ditch friday. I don't mind that at all." I smiled.
"Good."
Seth just pressed his forehead to mine and looked at me.
His his arms around my waist and brought me very close to him.
"What?" I smirked.
"Nothing..." He shrugged.
We kissed.
Right when the kiss had gone over about 10 seconds he stopped.
"Hey—"
"We have to go. I almost forgot." Seth said grabbing my hand and running.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"Time to go." He told me.
"Thanks babe. That's very helpful." I smugged.
We ran all the way to the fron of my house.
"Close your eyes." Seth told me.
"Why?"
"Ella..." Seth began to say.
"Seth." I whined.
"Babe. Just do it. Close your eyes." He said.
"Fine." I said before sticking my tongue out at him.
"Just work with me here...this wasn't my idea." Seth said.
"Can we go inside now? I'm getting impatient." I said.
"We're moving. Watch up you're step..." Seth said from behind me.
Now I knew we were inside.
"Okay we're inside MY house, can I open MY eyes now?" I asked.
"Go ahead." Seth said.
I opened them and had this somewhat surprised look on my face.
Then it all went down the drain when I found that no one was there.
Now I was irritated.
"Is this some kind of joke. Cause right now this ain't funny at all." I yelled in the house.
"I—um...well this is odd—don't worry Elle—I-I-I'll fix this." Seth stuttered.
"Everyone here?" Seth yelled.
I just stood there in front of the stairs with my arms folded and back was facing the door.
"SURPRISE!" I heard a bunch of people yell from behind me.
Whoa...that actually scared me.
I turned around to see Mom, Dad, Meg, Lucy, Macy, Natalia, Nina, Kaylee, Emerson, Payton, Belinda, Skylar, Jacob, Mateo Quil, Embry, Brady, Collin, Gabe who was standing right next to Chloe...OMG is he hand wrapped around her waist? Along with Jared, Kim, Rik, Nate, Kyle, Brock...and the grin on my face got even bigger when I noticed that my brother was here.
"Hahaha...okay...you got me...well sort of since I was kinda expecting this. I'm just curious as to how you all got behind me so fast." I said.
"It wasn't easy. I had to get you distracted for long enough." Seth told me.
"Mmmmmhmmmm," I muttered.
"Hey Sis." Tony waved.
"Oh my God I can't believe you're here. Why aren't you in California?" I asked him before giving him a big squeeze.
"UCLA is playing Washington this week. Coach let my come up to the area a little early so I could drive up here and see you guys." He explained.
"You drove here...all the way from California?" I asked him.
"Naaaw... I took a plane, rented a car and then drove from Seattle to La Push. Wasn't long at all. But I still can't believe you're gonna graduate soon." He told me.
"Ugh don't remind me. I'm auditioning for Julliard in February." I said.
"Oh please cut the crap. I know you're gonna get in. You're just as good as her." My brother assured me.
By her...he means Sasha.
"I hope so." I shrugged.
"I know so." Tony placed his hands on my shoulders.
"Okay." I rolled my eyes and laughed.
"So." I said clapping my hands together to get everyone's attention.
"I guess this means we can start the party now?" I said looking over at my mom.
"It's your party..." Mom reminded.
"Alright pizzas' are in the kitchen." My dad yelled.
"Sweet!" I heard all the boys yell.
"Uh—no...Before all of you...and by you I mean the boys get into all of the pizza, the girls are getting there's first." I said before the guys got even close to making it into the kitchen.
All the boys started complaining.
"Oh hush." Lucy stuck her tongue out at the boys.
"Very mature." Jared said.
Lucy just gave them a fake smile.
...
"Okay now it's your turn—"
"Finally." All the boys headed for the kitchen while the rest of us went outside in the backyard.
"So you're 18 now. How does it feel?" Lucy asked me.
"Ha please. I don't feel any different. 18 is nothing special." I shrugged.
"It is too!" Natalia gasped.
"Really...elighten me, because it doesn't feel like that...at all." I told her.
"Oh lord." Payton rolled her eyes.
"Okay so yea...you're a year older and all that jazz" Natalia started to say.
"Of course she would qoute song lyrics from Chicago." I said to the other girls.
"Hey! You're just as much of a theater geek as I am." She clarified.
"True fact. But acting is more of a second hand thing for me." I told her.
"Said the dancer." Chloe coughed.
"Oh shut up Lo! Anyway I get all of that and what not. I'm an adult now. Woohoo." I said sarcastically.
"I'm tellin' you now...you will feel much better about it once you and Seth really start to get on it." Natalia said.
I nearly choked on the bite of pizza I just swallowed when I heard her say that.
All of the girls just rolled their eyes.
"It's true. Well if you're not a virgin then you understand what I'm saying. I gauruntee...you'll feel more loos—"
"OKAY! I'm eating if that's not obvious...besides...that's already being taking care of. And all of you know what I'm talking about cough* cough* anniversary next month." I whispered trying to not look suspicious.
It took a minute for the girls to figure out what I was trying to tell them.
All at the same moment...they got the same look of realization on their faces.
"Are you serious? You and Seth are gonna do it on your anniversa—"
"New subject. The boys are coming over here right now...we should start laughing." I smiled through my teeth.
"Oh..." They just nodded.
"Laughing now." I said through my teeth.
"Ahahahahahaha."
"Okay they must have been talking about something they didn't want us to know about and now they're trying to change the subject." My brother said as him and the rest of the guys came over and sat with us.
"Um no." I said right away.
"Don't lie." Jared said.
"We're not!" Macy snapped.
"Okay enough! My party...new topic." I demanded.
The rest of the day went really well. The boys were happy to finally catch up with my brother in person...but he'll be back for christmas either way.
Everyone left at 10pm...but as for Seth, he snuck back in like always.
"So," Seth paused to kiss me.
"Did you enjoy your birthday this year?" He asked me.
"Hmmmm...let me think about that." I said before giving him a tender kiss on the lips.
"Does that answer your question?" I asked him.
Seth continued to kiss me. Each one got even better than the last one through out the entire 30 seconds.
"Sure." He smiled.
"By the way...thanks for the 50 bucks. I'll be sure to spend it wisely." I whispered.
"You do that." Seth said as he pulled me closer to him.
My legs had settled around his waist as he laid me down on the floor of my little room.
I kissed the corner of his mouth and our lips began to softly brush up against each other.
His hands had slid down and began to shape around my butt squeezing it tightly as our lips began to connect and pull apart over and over.
"I love you." He whispered in my ear.
"How much?" I replied with the same amount of gentleness in my tone.
He started kissing my neck and stayed there...playing with the sensitive skin.
I knew exactly what he was trying to do. I didn't stop him. I just let it happen.
To be honest it kinda feels good.
Yes...Seth Ryan Clearwater was giving me a "hickie."
Seth stopped and just hovered over me...looking right at me.
We just layed there looking into each other's eyes.
He was trembling.
"What is it?" I asked him in curiousity.
"It's nothing...I just love you...so much." he murmured while stroking the side of my face.
I just looked right into his eyes and smiled.
"I love you to...very much." I said.
Seth moved over and layed right next to me.
"Seth?"
"Yea babe?" He replied.
"Hold me...just hold me." I whispered.
In the end I guess I could say that turning 18 is nothing special...it just so happened to be everything that I wanted it to be.
