Chapter 8

A time for talking

(Ella's P.O.V.)

Ahhhhh the first 3 day weekend of the school year.

Senior year has already been a pain in my ass and it's only the 4th week of school :P.

I can honestly say that is was nice to sleep in on a Friday...a wet and rainy Friday.

No homework makes it even better.

I seriously had to turn in 3 essays this week. I practically had one due every other day.

But now that's over with Chloe and I are just sittin' on the couch doing absolutely nothing.

"Ugh...I'm soooo bored." Chloe sighed.

"Join the club." I mumbled.

"Can we just go somewhere? I don't care where, I just think we need to get out of the house." She suggested.

"Ehhhh. I guess so—NEW TEXT!" I jumped.

"Who is it? Do they wanna hang out? Are we gonna LEAVE!" Chloe asked anxiously.

"It's Leah. Seth's sister. You haven't met her yet but she wants to hang out today. She's over at Emily's—you've met the Uley's haven't you?" I asked her.

"That was nearly 3 years ago but yea I did."

"Well good. We're going over her house. Go get your shoes—" I began to say before Chloe interrupted me.

"News flash! Are you not paying attention to how I look right now? I'm not going over there looking like this!" She complained.

"Ya look just as good as I do. It's not like the boys are gonna be over there. Look as us. We're wearing sweatpants, a t-shirt and we have make up on. It ain't no big deal!" I told her.

Chloe just crossed her arms.

"Fine." She muttered as she walked up stairs to go get her shoes.

"Chloe eres una reina del drama." I mumbled under my breath.
(Chloe you're such a drama queen)

"I heard that." Chloe said coming back down the stairs.

"Well good. Cause ya know it's true."

"Yea yea. Story of my life." She mumbled under her breath.

It was a quick 5 minute drive down the road to Sam and Emily's place.

"Okay get out of my car." I teased.

"We're here?"

"Yep. Come on. It's pouring!" I said before running into the house.

I could hear a bunch of familiar voiced coming from inside.

"Hello?" I said.

"Door's open!" I heard Leah say.

Chloe followed in after me.

"Hey!" I smiled.

"I haven't seen you in a while." Emily got up to hug me.

"I've missed you too Em. You remember my friend Chloe don't you?" I said.

"Of course I do! It's been a while. Good to see ya." Emily gave her a hug.

"Hey Elle!" Leah said while bouncing her nephew lighlty in her lap.

"Leah this is my friend Chloe." I said.

"Hi." Chloe waved.

"I've hears so much about you. Good to finally meet ya." Leah said to her.

Chloe and I took a seat on the couch.

When Chloe wasn't looking...Leah and Emily mouth the words..."So this is her?"

That's right...they haven't met Gabe's imprint yet.

I just nodded.

I looked over to see that Baby Aaron had a huge smile on his face as he was looking right at me.

He reached out for me.

"Hi baby!" I smiled as Leah handed him over to me.

"La la la la la" he repeated over and over while bouncing around in my lap.

Aaron rested his little hand on my cheek...then he waved at Chloe.

"Well aren't you a cutie pie." Chloe said as Aaron reached out for her hand.

"Aaron this is Chloe." I told him.

"How old is he?" Chloe asked Leah.

"Almost a year old." Leah said.

"So how is the soon to be fiance doing?" I asked Leah.

Leah just rolled her eyes and tilted her head down.

"What? You've been together long enough! He should be getting down on one knee pretty soon." I told her.

"Jon's doing good. Actually he's out with Charley and Seth fishing right now." She said to us.

"Ohhh...maybe they're talking about something important." I sang.

"I don't know...that's what I'm nervous about. Just yesterday when Jon came over. Charlie randomly invited him to go fishing with him and Seth. I kept thinking to myself that tomorrow was a horrible day to do that since it was gonna be pouring down rain but Charlie insisted on tomorrow." Leah bit her lip.

"Oooooo he's gonna get you a ring!" Chloe said excitedly.

"Ugh! This bother's me. I wish I knew what they're talking about." Leah covered her face with her hands.

"I never got the chance to ask this but...since we're on the subject of guys...how was you're date with Gabe?" I asked Chloe.

"Already on the first date? If you two keep this up he'll tell you just about everything you have to know about were—"

"Leah!" I cut her off.

I gave her a face that said SHUT UP!

"Nevermind. So where did he take you?" Leah asked Chloe.

"I'll be right back girls." Emily got up and walked into the hallway.

"Okay so we drove to Port Angeles in his car and then he took me to this little street taco restaurant place that was really really good. He said it was one of his favorite places to eat and all we did was talk. Things went to a heavy topic of why parents had suddenly decided to send me back to Spain...I was a little hesitant at first but I ended up telling him the truth. I got sent back to Barcelona because freshman year I got caught with my senior boyfriend doing...well I think you have a good idea." Chloe clued them in.

"Let me guess. All girls boarding school to help straighten you out?" Leah said.

Chloe tilted her head to the side and squinted her eyes.

"You're good." Chloe nodded,

"Leah's just gifted like that. Nothing get's past her." I said.

"But yea...I stayed at my aunt's house and caught up with a few old friends. That was it." Chloe shrugged.

She still seemed a little uneasy about what she just said.

"So you just went ahead and told him all of the business?" I asked her.

"Yep...and he was totally understanding about it...after my long story, he told me all about his."

"Hmmmm I'm gonna guess that has something to do with Natalia. And second, Gabe never really talks about what happened with them at all. He just shrugs it off like it's no big deal!" I said in shock.

"Oh yea. He told me everything about that. Usually I just don't flat out talk to someone about that stuff, but I don't know. I just felt really comfortable around him...like I could tell him anything y'know?" Chloe explained.

"Mmmmmmhmmm...you like him." I said elbowing her.

"Yea yea." Chloe shrugged.

"Hey. Gabe's a sweet guy. He really knows how to cheer people up. He deserves someone good in his life after Natalia nearly walked all over him. I think you'd be good for him." Leah told her.

Chloe just smiled, then her smile quickly turned into a frown.

"What are you thinking about Lo?" I asked her.

I know this look.

"I can honestly say that things were just going so well up until the point where he walked me to the door..." Chloe trailed.

"He can't be that bad of a kisser...or was he—"

"No. It wasn't like that at all. I'm sure he is but. The two of us just got really quiet and just looked at each other for a moment. Then he leaned in and I started to just go with it but then it all got ruined by this stupid little voice inside my head that I shouldn't because I have a bab—I mean because I just felt like if I let that happened then—I-I...oh who am I kidding!" Chloe got up from where she sat and started pacing back and forth right behind the couch.

"Yes I wanted to kisss him soo sooo SOOOOO bad! But I was afraid of getting attached all too quickly and I would end up in the same situation with Cody which put me in an even more difficult situation that still stands to this day due the fact that after all he's done. Cody's apologized several times and has told me that he loves me and then right when I thought that things couldn't get any better he just makes some really stupid decisions that almost cost me MY LIFE and made me even more worried when I thought that the worst was over with and it wasn't. No, things got alot worse. I didn't want him anywhere near me or my—see? I'm not ready for a relationship right now. Not even a serious one. Not after still struggling to finally settle from the last relationship I was in. Ever since Cody I—I just have this fear of getting hurt. Which is what I don't want. Everything I've done ever since I had Nor—I just ...I just." Chloe began to lose her train of thought.

"Look." Leah walked over and made Chloe sit back down.

"I totally understand what you're going through. Trust me I know the feeling and it's horrible. Just a few years ago I was in the same situation. Don't let the past hold you back." Leah told her.

"Oh no no no. No tienes ni idea de lo apretado que estoy obligado." Chloe said to Leah.

"What?" Leah didn't understand Spanish...all she knew was Hola and that's just about it.

"She said you have know idea as to how tight I'm bound...now I'm confused too." I said after translating.

"No importa." Chloe shook her head.

"Once again. I have no idea what you just said." Leah told her

"Never mind" I explained.

"Oh." Leah just nodded.

"Don't stress so much about this Chloe. I felt the same way when I first started to go out with Jon. I hadn't really been in a relationship for a while so I was very hesitant about it. Give Gabriel a chance. He'll grow on ya." Leah told her.

"Hmmmm..." Chloe just pursed her lips together to think it over.

"Judging by how much you managed to say so fast and in so little time...I'm gonna take a wild guess as to the fact that you must have been holding that in for while. Am I not right?" I asked Chloe.

"Well...um—yea pretty much." Chloe chuckled.

"Don't ya feel better now that you got all of that stuff off your chest?" Leah asked her.

"Yea...but I'm still hesitant." Chloe admitted.

"Just give it sometime. Take it slow and let things simmer for a little bit. I assure you everything will go smoothly after that."

"Thanks" Chloe chuckled.

"Ma ma?" Aaron asked in curiousity while his eyes began to wander around the room for Emily.

"I'm coming!" Emily yelled from down the hallway.

"Crap." Chloe mumbled looking at her phone.

"Who's calling you?" I asked her.

Instead of talking...Chloe just gave me the phone to see who it was.

The screen was flashing

Incoming Call
Cody Virtue

"That's him?" Leah asked.

Chloe nodded.

"Give me the phone." Leah said holding her hand out.

"Well I don't think that's a good ide—"

"It will be quick I promise you that. You can trust me." Leah said.

Chloe took a breath as she were about to say something but then willingly gave the phone to Leah.

Leah hit the answer button.

"Cody right?" Leah said.

...

"Well she can't talk right now...better yet I think it would be best if ya just leave her along and quit calling her."

...

"Uh-huh...I don't care...I—It's simp—listen to me it's very sim—It's simple! Leave her alone." Leah hissed into the phone before hanging up.

"Case closed." Leah handed the phone back to Chloe.

"Wooow...why did you make that look so easy?" Chloe chuckled.

"I never really had the patience so I always made sure to keep it short...very short." Leah said.

"Better?" I asked Chloe.

"Mmmhmm." Chloe nodded.

"Chloe I think you should get a new number...and fast!" I suggested.

"My parents are already working that out. Things have been busy for them so it's gonna be a little while longer." She told me.

"Just ignore his phone calls and you'll be fine—"

"Ella!" A high pitched and very familiar voice saidd.

Kayla Uley just entered the room...loud and bubbly.

"Hey Kay what's goin on?" I smiled.

She just shrugged her shoulders and smiled at me...then she looked over at Chloe wondering who she was.

"Kayla this is my friend Chloe." I told her.

"Hi!" Kayla smiled brightly.

"Hello." Chloe smiled.

Kayla gave her a wave.

"For past few days all she's talking about is...Mama when is Ella gonna come over again? Mama where's Ella?" Emily said.

"I missed you too Kay." I said as I placed Aaron on the floor so he could walk around while I gave Kayla a hug.

"Hmmmm." Chloe just looked at her in an odd way and smiled.

"What is it now?" I asked her.

"Nothing...she just reminds me of my Nor—cousin—my baby cousin...Elenore." Chloe nodded.

"Oh." I shrugged.

"So how have things been going with you and Seth?" Emily.

"Good...great actually. Our anniversary is next month." I nodded.

"So what's the plan...though I'm pretty sure I just might have a good idea as to what you're gonna do." Leah said to me.

I just looked at her with this very irritated face.

"Really?" I squinted my eyes.

"Kayla come here sweetie!" Emily said urging her daughter to come over to where she was sitting.

"Does it have anything to do with..." Emily put her hands over her daughters ears and Leah covered Aaron's ear's before Emily began to finish this sentence.

"Sex?" Emily whispered before her and Leah removed their hands from the kids ears.

Shit.

Well this is just...just lovely.

I was a little tongue tied right now...

"Well—we um—we were thinking about it since y'know...I mean come on we're virgins—okay I shouldn't have said that out loud..." I wasn't making any sense what so ever.

Good job Ella May...very good job.

"I don't get why you just didn't do it the night of your birthday party since I know for a FACT. That he snuck back into your room like always and you guys were all lovey dovey in your secret room right next to your closet. I swear Elle you're lucky that your parents didn't notice the chupetón on your—"

"Chloe Estrella!" I exclaimed hitting her with one of the couch pillows.

"Do I even wanna know what chupetón means?" Leah asked in a very disturbed tone.

"Innocent ears are in the room and that's why I said it in Spanish." Chloe explained.

"Thank you Chloe." I mumbled sarcasticly.

"Chloe what does it mean?" Emily asked her.

I snapped my head back in Chloe's direction and just squinted my eyes at her.

"Starts with an H...and has the word icky in it." Chloe clued them in.

Leah and Emily where silent for a second...then their heads snapped up in my direction.

"Ella May!" Both of them said at the same time.

I chuckled lightly with sarcasm and just turned my head away so I wouldn't catch their stare.

"My little brother gave you a...thingy on your neck?" Leah hissed.

"Yea..." I said sounding very guilty.

"Oh please...walking in on those two is even worse." Chloe chuckled.

"You've done it too?" Leah asked her.

"Twice." Chloe rolled her eyes.

"Oh my God did you catch them right when they had their shi—"

"Okay! Leah that's enough." I smiled through my teeth.

"Mmmhmmm." Emily shook her head.

"Did you atleast get yourself started on the pill?" Leah asked me.

"Yep." I said very quickly.

"When?" Emily asked.

"First day of school." Chloe stole the words straight from my mouth.

"She gave it to me." I tattled.

"I made her take it right before we left for school." Chloe explained.

"Well good...it should be working by the end of October." I said.

"Ella...as your future sister in law...my advice is simple...just be careful. You don't want to be super stressed out by something you didn't plan for." Leah told me.

"I know." I assured her.

"Good." Emily nodded.

"Em?"

That must be Sam.

"Living room!" Emily yelled.

The sound of wet and very squeeky shoes filled the air.

Sam and Jake's pack have been doing a lot of work together lately due to a new vampire in the area that still remains both unknown to them and the Cullens.

When all of the boys walked in...Chloe's jaw just dropped.

"Whoa." She whispered.

All of the boys walked in shirtless and covered in water from head to toe.

"¿Por qué están todos tan brillante?" Chloe said in awe.
(Why are they all so shiny?)

Oh lord.

Now she had this look of concern on her face...

I'm guessing that she's wondering why they were outside...with no shirts on.

"Daddy!" Kayla screamed.

"Towels on the table." Emily said.

"I have to dry off. Hold on Kay." Sam said to his daughter.

"Hi boys." Leah waved.

"When is Seth coming back? Do you know?" Jacob asked me.

"Nope...still fishing with Charlie." I said.

"Tell him to call me later when you see him." Jake said.

"Okay." I shrugged.

Gabe was the last to walk in.

He froze up right when he caught Chloe's stare.

The expression on Chloe's face got even funnier after that.

She looked a little stunned.

"Maldita sea, él tiene un buen cuerpo" Chloe said.
(Damn, he has a nice body)

"Uh...hey...Gabe." Chloe said slowly.

"H—um—hey C-Chloe." Gabe stuttered.

Things got a little silent after that.

Chloe was just a little stunned over all.

"How's senior year goin?" Jared asked me.

"Busy." I sighed in exhaustion.

"I'm just trying to get as much college credit as I can done now...second semester I'll have atleast 2 free periods. I plan on spending as much time as I can dancing." I said proudly.

"Nerd." Paul coughed.

"Hey! There is no need to hate." I told him.

"It's true..." Jared agreed with him.

"I'm not even gonna get started with you." I teased.

"Da da da da da." Aaron repeated over and over reaching for Sam to pick him up.

"Hey buddy?" Sam said lifting his son high up into the air.

"Hey Elle I think your phone is ringing." Collin said pointing to my phone which I just realized was buzzing loudly on the coffe table.

"Oh!" I gasped.

I was Seth.

"Hey." I said very quickly.

"Where are you at?" He asked me.

"Emily's...with her, the kids, Chloe, Leah and the boys just got here. Jacob wants you to call him later." I told him.

"You doing anyhing later on tonight?"

"Nope...do you want me to come over?" I asked him.

"Yea...I just...well let's just say...we need to talk. It's important." He sounded very serious.

"What's goin on?" I asked in concern.

"I think it would be best to just tell you when we're alone." He whispered.

"Seth," I quickly got up and walked outside to the porch.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a more demanding tone.

"Ella...just trust me. It's better if I tell you this when it's just us. No one else. I won't tell you now because if I do...then—look babe. We can talk later. " Seth said sternly.

"No...what it is it? Tell me now. I can hear it your voice...just tell me!" I demanded.

"Ella I have to go...I'll see you later...then we can talk—"

"You know how I am about stuff like that. It pisses me off when you say—oh Ella I have something important to tell you, we need to talk blah blah blah. And then what do you do? You say I can't tell you now. We need to talk about his in private. You've done it several times." I hissed.

"I—I gotta go babe. Come by later. Love you—"

"No Seth! Don't hang up—" I began to say before he hung up on me.

"Damn it Seth! Damn it!" I cursed lightly as I kicked my foot into the wall.

This is really gonna bug me now.

Okay...now I'm frustrated.

I walked back into the room and sat back down next to Chloe.

"What was that about?" Leah asked me.

"Nothing." I smiled in an irritated way.

"It didn't sound like neither doesn't look like nothing." Emily said.

"I'll make it simple...4 simple words are not only starting to irritate me...but it just might ruin my day...if it ends badly." I shrugged.

"We need to talk?" Chloe guessed.

"Yep." I shook my head.

"Don't sweat it...it's probably nothing. Maybe he's just surprising you or something." Emily assured .

"Haha...I don't think so...the tone in his voice just sounded suspicious...and now I have this ugly gut feeling that it's something bad...like he's hiding something from me. He does it all the time and he knows how much it makes me mad. He'll be all like—Ella I have to tell you something very important and so on...so when I ask him what's wrong he goes ahead and says I can't tell you right now or we'll talk about later. I'm done with that. If he brings it up and starts talking about it then he should just go ahead and tell me! It can't be that bad? Right?" I said.

All of the boys got silent and glanced over in my direction.

Like it wasn't obvious...I knew they were listening in my conversation with the girls.

"What do you know?" I asked them in a very demanding tone.

They didn't answer.

"I know you know something..." I said.

"Uhhh..." All of them started to stuttered.

"Okay..." I pursed my lips together.

"I'll be back in a little bit...this won't take long at all." I said while I grabbed my keys and headed out the door.

(Seth's P.O.V.)

I shouldn't have done it like that... now she's gonna be even more pissed at me.

I had a feeling that this will be going on for a good hour or so.

Good thing no one's at the house right now.

I've been getting nagged about this almost everyday and I don't think I can stand all of this extra pressure anymore.

This is it...

I'm gonna tell her...

I'm gonna tell Ella about Sasha...
