Chapter 18

A Change Of Plans

(Ella's P.O.V.)

December 2012

These past few weeks have turned out a lot better than I expected.

Chloe and Gabe are official, then you have Natalia—who just won't SHUT UP about how much she thinks that her and Gabe were so much better looking together and how she thinks it's not gonna last long between them all because of the fact that Chloe has a kid.

Now that got out fast. Chloe just pretty much just blurted it all out a few days ago when we were all hanging out at the beach on a somewhat surprisingly warm and cloudy day. They all just sat there and listened. No one judged her, Chloe was a little shocked by how understanding everyone was. She was so stunned that she was crying after she finished saying what she had to say.

You know that feeling you get when you feel completely overwhelmed by how much your friends treat you like family...that's exactly how Chloe felt. She's finally starting to feel more confident about the trust she has in her friends.

Then again Gabe is one of the main reasons why Chloe is so happy now. Well they're dating and all but she just seems less worrysome and more realxed when she's with both him and Nora.

Nora's even made a new friend :). She's goes over to the Uley's house to play Kayla almost every day. Chloe's mom just drops Nora off over there on her way to work.

Nora warmed up to Gabe instantly and Chloe can forever go on and on and on and on about how nice it is to see how well her daughter bonds so well with her boyfriend...but she ocasionally does worry about what will happen if they "possibly break up". Young children can get attached pretty quickly and what Chloe doesn't want is for all of this to end badly leaving both her Nora emotionally unhappy.

Gabe imprinted on Chloe so as far as that goes...he's gonna end up being Nora's step-father in the end so I don't see any problem with that.

As far as things go with me and Seth.

It's been really good :)

Schools out! Winter break is here! Christmas in 5 days and I have no idea what the hell I'm gonna get him for christmas.

What's even worse is that Seth said he already got my present taken care of which makes me even more anxious to just get him something quick so I won't be doing this at the last minute.

I'm gonna go Christmas shopping with Alice tomorrow, but for now I'm just gonna spend the day with my boyfriend :)

His parents have been out running errands all day so him and I have had the house to ourselves.

No we haven't had sex...yet lol—but right now we're just watching tv since there's nothing better to do.

What sucks is I'm recovering from food poisoning : P.

We decided to try out this new Chinese restaurant they built in Port Angeles. It tasted great...then I woke up the next day and I spent the first couple of hours the next morning throwing up in the bathroom. I'm definitley not gonna eat there again any time soon. Today has been okay as far as my violent sickness goes, I'm just really tired.

I just woke up from a 2 hour nap in Seth's arms and for a second I forgot how hot he gets sometimes. I felt like I was beginning to sweat like a pig which is what woke me up. But the nice thing is that I have a great boyfriend who is taking good care of me.

"Okay I need some air." I said getting out of Seth's arm and walking outside the door to breathe.

He immeadiately follwed me outside with a glass of cold water in his hands.

"Drink this." He said giving me the cup.

I nearly chugged it in less than 15 seconds...it tasted so good.

"Thanks babe." I huffed.

"You doin' okay?"

I shook my head and sat down on the steps. "No not really."

"Yea we're not gonna go there for food again. I'm sorry." Seth told me as he splayed his hand on my back and began to rub it gentley.

"There's nothing to apologize for. I'm the one with the weak stomach." I chuckled.

"I just wanna be sure you're okay. You've been at this for almost a week now." He told me.

"Okay so my Mom thinks I might have the stomach flu on top of that. It's probably just because I've been overworking myself and everyone at the dance studio has been starting to get sick. Don't worry I'll be fine." I assured him.

Oh God...here it comes again.

I tried to hold my breath hoping the feeling would subside quickly, and it didn't. It just got even worse the longer I held my breath.

Then I gagged.

Shit...here it goes.

"Damn it—" I darted back into the house and into the bathroom.

What a great way to kick off my winter break...puking my guts out : P.

I really hope this goes away by Christmas. I'd hate to spend Christmas day sick in bed.

I was at it for a good 5 minutes and when I managed to actually catch breath...my body took over and I was at it once again for an extra 5 minutes.

"Ella?" Seth stood in the door way.

"Ugh! This is not how I wanted to spend my freaking winter vacation." I moaned.

"That's it I'm taking you home." Seth said walking over to help me out.

"No Seth, It's nothing—"

"That's what you've been saying for the past few days and yet you're still throwing up. Come on. I'll drive you home." Seth said.

I didn't fee like arguing with him over this since I was starting to get a massive headache...so in the end I really have no choice.

He carried me out of the house and put me in the passenger's seat. We were at my house in a matter of seconds—well that's what it felt like. No one was home and I was too lazy to get my keys out of my pocket.

The back door to my room was open so we just went that way and Seth placed me on my bed.

"You don't have to leave, you can stay if you want to." I told him.

Seth didn't say anything, he just kissed me on my forehead and then layed down right next to me pulling me into his arms so I could rest my head on his chest. My bedroom was very cool so Seth's body temperature didn't bother me as much as it did nearly 20 minutes ago.

Being in his arms always makes me feel better.

(Sasha's P.O.V.)

Something just doesn't seem right about my sister anymore.

I'm worried about her...and I'm not the only one who's noticed.

All of us have.

She's really sick if that weren't obvious. She refuses to go to a doctor and is trying her best to convice everyone that she's okay.

She's getting a little thin, she's tired all the time, the other day when she came to see me she ended up getting a nosebleed out of no where. Seth said she almost passed out the other day. Not to mention the incessant puking and she's always tired these days. This has been really getting to my head so I practically did some personal research on her symptoms just to be sure if it's something serious...

So far my guesses are

A) She has cancer
B) She's pregnant
or C) She's under a very great deal of stress which is what I'm really rooting for in a sense that hopefully not pregnant or doesn't have cancer.

Whatever's going on with her it's getting worse...she' starting to look a little washed out no matter how much make up she may put on just to mask up everything.

Her auditions for all of the colleges she applied for are coming up and I'm concerned about her health.

(Ella's P.O.V.)

January 10th 2013

Why can't everyone just stop being so worrysome and let me be?

No I'm not having an eating disorder and no I don't have cancer or anything else!

I'm just trying to put all of my focus into my upcoming auditions for college along with juggling way to much AP homework and my job. So what if life is busy for me right now. I'm just doing what I can to get stuff done.

Yea so I'm not eating has much or getting enough sleep. I'm just really busy that's all.

The main reason is because I can hardly keep anything in my stomach these days.

I'm tired all the time. I just brough my grade in AP Literature down to a freaking C- because I didn't turn in my project that I totally forgot about over winter break because of how lazy I was being.

It's the second day back from school and I'm done. Really I am.

This is just way to much for my head to handle. Chloe got a ride to school from her parents since she was over at their house last night and I acted like I was getting ready for school and then got in my car and went down to the beach.

It's almost noon and I've been here since 7:15.

What's really starting to bug me is that I've had atleast 8 text messages sent to me in the past 2 hours...and the marjority of them are from Seth.

Today is just one of those days where I want to be left alone...which is my excuse for skipping school ;)

I swear it's like I can't talk to anyone without them bringing the phrase "you should go see a doctor" into the conversation...my own sister is even on my case.

Walking back to my car after being at the beach for almost 5 hours, I suddenly rememberd that I owed Emily a visit since I haven't seen her in a while due to HOW BUSY I AM.

I made it to her house in 8 minutes. It started to pour down rain and I nearly ran to the door and knocked.

"Coming!" I heard her shout. She looked surprised to see me.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school right now?"

Well hello to you too Em.

"Look, I just really need someone to talk to right now. This past month has been pretty sketchy and I just—"

"Enough said! Come inside before you get all wet!" Emily opened the door and I quickly walked inside.

I walked into the living room to find Elenore and Kayla playing with their toys on the floor. I took a seat in the lounge chair and she sat across from me on the couch.

I was feeling a little bugged by this look that Emily kept giving me as she sat down.

"Why do I feel like you're giving me this look..." I trailed off moving my eyes away from her.

"That's because I am. Jeez girl you're a mess! Don't think I've been hearing about your strange behavior lately but at first I thought everyone was just making it up. Now I see what everyone is so worried about. What's gotten into you Elle?" Emily asked me.

"What did they tell you?" I asked her.

Now I'm gonna get lectured some more :P

"You tell me..." Emily said.

I let out a heavy sigh and bit my lip.

"I'm waiting—"

"Okay so I've been sick and I haven't been eating alot and on top of that I'm tired—I'm always tired and then I'm just stressed on top of that cause I'm freaking out about my dance auditions and I just wanna do really well. Then there's just everything else and it's getting to my head. Everyone's getting this idea that something jurasstic is wrong me like have cancer or something. I'm fine! Everyone else just needs to quit being so worrysome. Nothing is wrong with me...Nothing is wrong with me." I told her.

"Okay okay calm down. Don't cry. Go into the bathroom, wash your face. I'll make you some tea okay?"

I just nodded and did what she told me to do. I went into the bathroom and grabbed some tissue to wipe the tears from my eyes and then for the first time in 17 day I looked at myself in the mirror.

Who the hell am I looking at?

My complexion is completely washed out. Okay so I am a little thin yet I feel so bloated.

I look disgusting.

No wonder everyone's do worried. I look like shit.

I began to really focus in on this girl I didn't recognize in the mirror and then the sound of what I think sounded like some of pack filled the hallway.

Crap.

I couldn't stay in here all day...so I walked out back into the living room leaving me no choice.

Emily was outside talking to Sam and I found Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, Gabe and even Jacob.

Shit! Shit! Shit! I don't wanna hear it from them right now.

I began to turn around and go back into the hallways as soon as I caught there stare.

"Aren't you suppost to be in school?" I heard Quil ask me.

"I took the day off. No big." I said.

"Ohhhh...well come here we need your help on something." Embry said.

"Y'know Seth's been trying to figure out where you are—"

"And Embry you're gonna keep your frickin mouth shut or so help me God you might wanna consider sleeping with one eye open if you even bother to open your mouth and tell him I'm here. I love you guys, but just shut up about it. I'm taking a break from school end of story. Now what do you need with help with. I'm not gonna make you a sandwhich if that's what you want." I told them.

Jared held out what looked to be a glass oven dish with what I think may be Emily's infamous chicken casserole. The boys love this stuff.

"Just scoop some into a bowl and put in the microwave for a few minutes.

"We're not sure if it's still good." They told me.

"You guys are wolves...don't you have super senses or something like that—" I began to say before Quil cut me off.

"Yea yea but we're still not sure. Smell it." He took it from Jared and practically shoved it right into my face.

I took it out of his hands and gave it a whiff...it smelt fine to me...then it hit me...the reaking and very strong smell of what I think might be garlic.

I gagged.

"Whoa you okay?" Paul asked me.

I took a deep breath and smelled it again just to be sure...the garlic ruined it for me. I felt sick to my stomach and ended up dropping the casserole on the floor and booked it into the bathroom.

I could feel my head began to throub and I hunched myself over the toilet, emptying the contents of stomach yet again.

After the sick feeling subsided...I leaned back against the wall and placed my head in between my knees.

Knock knock knock "Ella's it's me. Open up." That was Emily.

She walked in and closed the door behing her.

"I'm so sorry about that." I choked.

"Don't worry about May, the boys are cleaning it up here drink this." She said handing me a glass of water.

"Thanks." I said before taking a sip. "Do you always use so much garlic in that casserole. I took a little whiff of that and I instantly felt sick—"

"Hold on a second...repeat the last part of what you just said..." Emily told me.

"Uhhh...the smell of the garlic made me sick to my stomach." I said.

"Hmmmmm..." Now she was thinking about something.

"Emily your scaring me." I muttered.

"Have you had your period yet?" She asked me.

Haha very funny.

"I know what you're thinking—it's not what you think—I'm on birth control and I have been since September. We use protection. Plus the birth control I'm on makes it so I only have 4 period a year. I've just had some spotting in the past few weeks. It's normal." I assured her.

There's no way in hell...

"Are you sure?"

"I am absolutely positive." I said looking her straight in the eye.

"Hold that thought..." Emily started searching through the cabinet under the sink until she found what she was looking for. "Aha!"

She held up a little box and my eyes bulged at the sight of it.

"No. Absolutely no." I shook my head.

"Well if you're so sure then take the test. 3 minutes is all it takes."

"Hell no." I refused.

"Ella May,"

"Emily please don't start—"

"Ella please just take the damn test. I just wanna be sure." She pulled the pregnancy test out of the box and for a second I felt like I couldn't breathe. Now I'm actually starting to get a little nervous.

I'm not pregnant. There's no way I could be.

I was beginning to lose it.

"Ella don't cry," Emily came over and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"I'm freaking out here okay? I mean—this is just flat out scary—and if I am then...then that's all I've worked for out the window. My dance career will be over...my parents—oh my God they're gonna kill me!" I wailed.

I've never cried this hard before...not this fast atleast.

"Stop it or you're gonna start hypeventalating." Emily told me. "Just take a few deep breaths. Whatever happens I can promise you everything is gonna be okay. I'll wait outside." She patted me on the back and then walked out of the bathroom.

I flinched at the sound of the door closing.

I did what I had to do just to get it all over with.

I peed on the little possibly life changed stick.

I wasn't liking this feeling at all.

Now what I really don't want to hear is an "I told you so" from Chloe. Not that I'm not expecting her to say that but if she does I think I might fall to my knees and cry instead of chew her out about it.

Slow down...you're getting ahead of yourself Ella.

If you're not pregnant...then it's probably something else...nothing bad of course...but what if I am.

What will Seth say?

We've already been through so much in the past 3 months. This is will just put us back right where we started.

Now all I could do was wait...

3 minutes is all it takes.

It's only been 1 minute and it feels like 5 minutes.

Just when I thought time was on my side...now it's just turning out to be a selfish bitch.

The test was sitting on the counter of the sink. I sat all the way across in the room with my eyes staring at the ceiling blankly.

...

2 minutes

...

...2 minutes 15 seconds

...

... 2minutes 35 seconds

...

...2 minutes 50 seconds

...0

The timer starting beeping.

Emily walked backed in.

"So what do you wanna do...you want me to read it?" She asked me.

I couldn't reply verbally, so I just nodded.

I sat in the corner as Emily walked over to pick it up off the counter.

The look on her face made me worry only because I couldn't really get an obvious answer of what she saw. Emily slowly made her back to where I sat and she placed it in my lap.

"I don't wanna look at it." I closed my eyes.

In a way I guess I already knew the answer or else Emily would have said straight away that it was negative.

"It's positive isn't it." I whispered as a single tear strolled slowly down the side of my face.

Emily rested her hand on my knee. "Yea it is." She muttered.

Nothing was said after that. I let out a loud sob and continued to cry. Crying was the only thing I could do.

"I'm gonna go get rid of the boys. Be right back," Emily walked out of the room.

I was really hoping the boys weren't evesdropping. Damn wolves and their good hearing skills didn't take long for her to get rid of the boys. Emily walked back in casually and offered me her hand to help me up.

"Go outside and get some fresh air." Emily told me.

I got up and walked back out into the living room.

"May." Elenore ran up to me and wrapped her arm around my leg. Then Kayla made her way over to me.

"Not now girls. Go play." Emily told them. The girls quickly went back to playing with their toys. I sat out on the porch with my head in between my knees hoping that the sick feeling in my stomach would eventually subside.

To think that it hits at almost every second of the day and they still call it "morning sickness."

I sat outside all by myself for atleast an hour and a half after realizing that it was 2:20pm. Schools out.

I better get home and act like I actually went to school today before I get an earfull from my mom.

The only person I don't even wanna bother facing is Seth. I can't do it. I honestly don't think I have the guts. Not now anyway. Then there's Sasha. She's gonna go off on both of us. She'll kill Seth. Unless my father kills him first.

Why is it that every time things start to get good for me everything just starts going downhill? Did I do something really bad that I am completely unaware of to deserve this besides having sex. We were being so careful.

Maybe if I'm lucky my mom isn't home and I can go straight up to my room.

I started driving back down the road to my house and when drove up to the kirb to park my car...Seth was waiting for me.

I was very hesitant to get out of the car at first, then again I have no choice. This is just way too much for me right now.

Just get out of the car, grab your stuff and go inside. What's so hard about that...

Oh wait! I'm pregnant and my boyfriend has no idea.

"Okay I give up. What's going on. You've been acting weird these past few days. You weren't at school today and I know for a fact that you went to the Uley's." He said.

"Damn it boys!" I yelled slamming the car door shut,

"Relax babe—"

"Don't tell me to relax okay?" I pushed Seth away after he tried to hug me.

"You haven't been yourself lately. You're sick...what's wrong?" He asked.

"Oh, there's alot going wrong right now I—I-I'm sorry I have to go." I grabbed my bag out of the trunk and then headed for the door.

"Wait—" Seth grabbed my hand before I could take another step.

"What?" I snapped.

"This whole day I have this gut feeling that something was wrong. It got even worse after you never showed up to class and then I tried calling you and texting you. How come you never replied?"

I turned my head away from his worrying stare and chose not to answer. He just nodded and looked in the other direction.

"I get it now...there's something you're not telling me." He realized.

I held my breath, trying to hold back tears feeling so ashamed after hearing the tone of disappointment in his voice.

"Look, this is gonna be hard on the both of us but..."

Come Ella just spit out already!

"I'm sorry I can't" I unlocked the door and walked in.

"Ella wait—" The door slammed shut before he could say anything else.

"Oh my goodness." I whispered to myself.

"Ella May—"

"Mom! You're home early." I jumped. Great, so much for going straight to my room without anyone seeing how much of a mess I was.

"How was school?" She asked as she looked me up and down studying the expression on my face.

"I-I-It was fine." I stuttered.

"Oh really?"

"Yea..." I made my way towards the stairs.

"Cause I got an email from the school saying that you weren't at school today."

Shit! BUSTED! Now I'm in trouble, not that I'm already in enough trouble.

"So what's goin on?" Mom folded her arms.

"I don't know," I lied being careful not to look her in the eye.

"Well from what Emily told me—"

"OH MY GOD SHE TOLD YOU!" I yelled.

"Calm down before you break a blood vessel. I know you've been starting to get really busy with school and everything, but there's no need to over work yourself. If it's starting to become too much then all you had to do was tell me. It's not like I won't understand. I'm your mother, I just wanna be sure you're okay." She told me.

I let out a sigh of relief. Thank you Emily!

This sort of buys me time to figure out what I wanna do but this is helps for now.

"Okay." I shrugged.

"As far as school goes you're excused for the next 3 days. I just told them you're really sick and won't be back until next week. Chloe will just bring all of your work home." My mother gave me a comforting smile.

"Thanks." I told her.

"Go upstairs and sleep. I'll come get you when dinner is ready."

I continued up the stairs as if the conversation never happened.

Suddenly I felt like the hallway was getting smaller and smaller and smaller...I couldn't breathe. I feel claustrophobic.

I ran into my room as fast as I could and shut the door.

Now everything's gonna change. I have no idea what the hell I'm gonna do. This wasn't suppost to happen.

There's only one person I need to talk to. The only person who I am in desperate need of their comfort. I quickly shuffled through my bag and dialed their number.

It didn't take long for her to answer.

"Ella—"

"Sasha I need you! I really need you right now." I cried.

"What's wrong sis?" She asked me.

"Well...I-I-I'm—"

"Just talk to me. I can stay on the phone for as long as you want okay?" She assured me.

"Okay..." I sniffed.

"Now tell me what's going on."

My sister isn't gonna like this. She's not gonna like this at all...
