Chapter 34

Back To Normal

(Ella's P.O.V.)

"Oh God I can't look!" Lucy shrieked as she buried her face into Brady's chest.

"Aw come on babe! Don't be such a scardy cat. It's all fake." Brady rolled his eyes.

I have a bunch of friends hanging out in my garage watching Final Destination 3. Every once in a while I will have a movie night at my house in the living room watching movies on our HD flat screen tv in the living room, now we watch movies in the garage because now my parents bought a screen that sits up on the wall in the garage and it rolls down. We all decided that we'd have a final destination marathon tonight and those are the only scary movies I will watch because they're so predictable—most of the time lol.

We're on the part where these two girls go tanning and they're about to get locked into the tanning beds! Whoever comes up with these crazy ways for people to die must have some interesting things going through their brain.

"Hey Ainsley, does this give you second thoughts about going tanning now?" I heard Xander yell from across the room.

"Shut up! Nothing bad has even happened yet." She snarled.

"Is it over already?" Lucy asked still covering her eyes.

"Sis you're killing me. Can't believe you're actually scared right now." Gabe teased her.

"You know how I am about scary movies!" She reminded him.

"Dude here's the best part!" Xander sat up.

Now the door to the tanning salon just locked and the tanning bed temperature keeps getting hotter. Right as one of the girls tries to get out, the shelf that was right above one of the tanning beds falls down and land right in between the little space between both of the tanning beds and the girls can't get out.

THEY ARE TRAPPED : O (scared face)

The temperature just keeps getting hotter and hotter and they're being burned alive!

This part actually does creep me out just a little bit, which probably explains why i'm starting to turn my head away from the movie screen.

"Ahhh, that's just messed up! Can't believe I'm actually watching this." I shuddered.

"I'm never going tanning again." Macy screamed.

"True that!" Ainsley yelled.

"You girls are a bunch of scared chickens. This isn't scary at all." Embry bluffed.

"Coming from the guy who nearly pissed in his pants that time we all pulled that prank on you in middle school and Jared dressed up in a scream costume and chased you down to the beach that night with a fake axe." Jacob chuckled.

"DUDE! I remember that!" Quil busted out laughing.

"You guys are never going to let that go." Lucy shook her head.

"That was so funny. Embry was screaming like a girl." Gabe said trying his best not to laugh.

"Okay are you guys done? I'm trying to watch the movie here." Embry rolled his eyes.

"That's it!" I got up and turned the lights back on.

"Hey!" Of course the boys started complaining.

"I don't want to go sleep having some screwed up nightmare. All in favor of a different movie." I raised my hand and all of the girls agreed.

"No fair! We always get over ruled." Mason whined.

"That's cause the girls are just chicken. Sheesh." My brother mumbled under his breath.

So glad Tony's going to be home for the next few weeks which also give him and Macy sometime to be "alone" since their anniversary is coming up this Friday. They started dating a few months after we first moved La Push.

"Oooooo let's watch Mean Girls!" Nina held up the DVD case for it.

"NO!" All of the boys yelled.

"I do not wanna hear all of you mouthing the words to every single damn line in that movie for the one hundredth time." Quil shook his head.

"Fine, how about—" Nina was cut short when the door opened and my mom peeked her head in.

"Pizza's here!" She told us.

As soon as the word Pizza came out of her mouth, all of got out and nearly shoved ourselves out of the garage and into the kitchen. Of course the majority of the boys were the first to make it out which didn't surprise me.

"Pigs." Nina mumbled under her breath.

"We heard that." Collin said with his mouth full of food.

"Jeez, you guys eat like a pack of wolves." I said when I caught Seth's eye and winked at him.

The rest of night was pretty fun. It was definitely a good way to kick off Spring Break. It's weird that today was our last day of school seeing that it's Wednesday. Break officially starts tomorrow which means Seth and I have to start packing as soon as we get up. We'll be gone for a good seven days.

My Grandma is going to be up in New York for some two week music clinic with some Julliard students while we're there so we're going to be staying with her at her penthouse in New York. Originally Seth and I were going to say in a hotel my dad insisted otherwise only because he didn't want sleeping in one room in the same bed with the chance of us having sex—again— which is what we're aren't going to do.

Then again you never know...plans can always change.

Waking up next morning sucked cause I only got to sleep in till 9 am and I went to bed around 2am last night cause Seth and I made out for a little while in my secret room last night after everyone went to bed.

Seven hours of sleep didn't really do me any justice :P. The only reason why I'm having to wake up this early is because Madame scheduled for me to have a 2 hour private lesson so I would get in a good rehearsal before leaving Friday morning.

Oh my freaking goodness...never in my life have I done so many turns in less than three minutes.

We changed all of the choreography to my classical ballet solo and came up with something even better and way more challenging...way more challenging then I wanted it to be. But Madame is only making it this hard because she knows I can pull it off and do it well. This solo will really "WOW" both the audience and all of the scouts that come to the showcase.

So it's gonna be really good ;D.

By the time my lesson was over my feet were on FIRE. But what sucks is that I have to come back at 5:30pm for company rehearsal which goes for a good 3 hours. So much for packing my things and relaxing for the rest of the day with my boyfriend : P.

It only took me an hour to pack everything cause all of the stuff I packed I haven't even worn yet cause I just went shopping last weekend and I'm going to be doing even more shopping once I'm in New York.

Yea...so my suitcase is definitely gonna way over fifty pounds.

Seth's never been to the east coast before so I'm very excited to show him around the most populated city in the US. He's going to love Manhattan. My grandma even managed to snag a few front row seats to a few Broadway shows in Time Square :DDDDD.

As soon as I finished packing my stuff, I walked over to Seth's house to help him pack. When I walked into that room that suitcase was empty and nothing was in it, which didn't surprise me.

I stood there in door shaking my head and smiling at him.

He just stood there standing in front of his closet not knowing what to do.

"Need some help?" I asked him.

"Oh! Hey," Seth walked over and gave me a quick peck on the lips.

"You know the weather is supposed to be really nice. My grandma said it's going to be 75 degrees when we get there." I told him.

"Is it always that nice on the east coast during the spring?"

"Sometimes. New York has been getting some really nice weather lately. Usually it rains a lot around spring time. But pack for nice weather—oh my gosh I can't wait! We can take a nice walk in Central Park—oh and bring your camera cause you're gonna wanna take LOTS OF PICTURES." I suggested.

"Well of course i'm bringing my camera babe. I wanna get some good shots while i'm there so I can add them to my portfolio. I have a a few interviews down in Seattle for college when we get back. Your mom is gonna help me edit and put it all together once I get all my new pictures printed."

"Oh ya that's right." I remembered.

As soon as my mom found out how much Seth was into photography she got overly excited and ever since the beginning of freshman year, mom has been teaching him everything she knows. There are even times when Seth will be over at my house for hours working editing new photos with my mom lol.

Yea, Seth hangs out with my mom—despite how weird that may sound. Seriously, he is practically her assistant.

"So have you applied to any more colleges yet?" I asked him.

"Yea." He shrugged.

"Anywhere on the east coast...like in New York?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Maybe..."

"YOU DID!" I shrieked. I would to have him be in New York with me for college. It would be FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC :DD.

"Of course I did, but I haven't got any responses yet so we'll wait and see. Now please help me. I don't know what to bring." He gave an out an exasperated sigh when he back at his closet.

"Okay you sit." I made him sit down on his bed. "I'll take care of this. I practically know where everything is in this closet." I put my hands.

"And yet I know where nothing is in that closet. You practically get something new every week—"

"You can blame Rosalie, Alice, and Sasha for that. You know how they are about never wearing the same thing twice. They always go shopping and half of the things they buy, they don't wear. Plus, we're all the same size so they always give me cute clothes." I giggled.

"Vampires." Seth rolled his eyes.

"Yea yea whatever. Just the other day you wouldn't stop ranting on about how good I looked in that navy blue dress I wore to school on Tuesday." I muttered.

"That's because it was hot. And it's nice color on you. It looks good with your brown skin tone—"

"Oh thanks. Rosalie gave it to me." I told him.

"Of course."

"Now you see my point." I reasoned with him as I continued to shuffle through his closet and throw things onto the bed for him fold and put into the suitcase.

"Ooooo," A nice white button up shirt caught my eye. "This is new." I said holding up for him to see.

"No it's not."

"You sure...cause you still have the tag on it. Oooo and and it's Versace! Who got you this?" I asked him.

"Well Jacob said no...so Alice shoved it on to me and she wouldn't take no for answer—"

"Good! You are definitely wearing this to the Broadway shows we go see! We got front row tickets and usually when you get good seats like that then you have to dress nice. Well you don't have to but you're gonna want to cause I can guarantee that everyone else is." I explained.

"O..kay." He sounded unsure.

"Trust me. Oh and as far as the hot dog stand rule goes. Don't even eat a hot dog you get from a hot dog stand on the street. They're gross and you can get e coli poisoning from that crap cause what they do is pretty much freeze the old hot dogs that don't get eaten for days and then reheat them and put them in with the new batch of hot dogs that get cooked. One time I even saw a guy who dropped a few hot dogs off of his stand and then he picked them up off the ground with his tongs and put them right back in the container with all of the other hot dogs. It's just gross. If you want a hot dog, then we'll go to Gray's Papaya which is the best place to get hot dogs in Manhattan. They're so good!" I said with a huge smile on my face.

"Exactly how many times have you been to New York—just out of curiosity." Seth asked me with a surprised look on his face.

"Too many times lol. I've always been a city girl. That's where my grandparents are originally from. My mom was born there and then my family moved there which is where we lived for two years when I was seven. My little sister was still a baby then, plus that when Sasha was on Broadway playing the Young Nala in The Lion King, that was back when Sasha had an agent." I said.

"Hold on a sec...your sister. The vampire one...she was on Broadway?"

"I thought I told you that?" I squinted my eyes in realization.

"Well obviously you didn't. But seriously that is pretty cool!" He nodded.

"Ya, plus the two of us did a lot of dancing when we were younger so we went to performing arts school—"

"You already told me that. Either way you must be very excited to go back."

"Yes. I am—okay done!" I said putting the last shirt I packed for him in his suitcase. "Now all you need to do is pack your tooth brush and stuff like that." I told him.

"That was fast!" Seth seemed a little shocked.

"I told you it wasn't going to take me that long. Packing for you was easy. Plus I'm pretty sure once you finish putting everything else in there you still have plenty of room to pack in extra stuff that you're gonna end up buying in New York."

"Have I told you how much I love you today." Seth reached out his longs arms to grab my waist and pulled me into his lap.

"No, I don't think you have." I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Ella-May Rose Gardn— " I cut him off and went right back to kissing him. We could always talk later :). At first I started making out with him while still sitting in his lap with him holding onto my legs very tight. Next thing I knew he started leaning back and now we were on the bed.

I love this...

"Ella," Seth moaned as I ran my fingers through his hair. His hands were still holding on to my waist and were slowly moving down to the curvature of my butt.

The bed was starting move a little bit but we didn't care at all.

His shirt was already off so I didn't even have to worry about that.

"Well here's something I haven't seen before." Someone voice said very loudly. Both of us jumped up still looking suspicious. Leah was standing in the door way.

"Haven't we all learned a lesson from this?" Leah shook her head.

"We weren't going to have sex." I told her.

"Mmmmhmm." Leah folded her arms.

"Leah get out of my room!" Seth yelled.

"Emily told me to come and get the two of you and drag you over to her house. She made lunch and she wants to see the two of you before you leave tomorrow morning." She told us.

"Oh," I nodded before turning my attention back to Seth. "You put a shirt on." I told him as I got out of his lap.

"Nice thong Ella. Was is that? Cheetah print?" I heard Leah chuckled. Well that's just awkward, her seeing my cheetah thong. I could feel my cheeks get a little warm.

"Oh gosh." I said pulling up my pants. "Stop it." I teased.

"Seth! Quit staring at your girlfriends ass and get dressed. Come on Ella, we can start walking now and he can just meet us up there." Leah walked out.

"Alright." I walked out of Seth's room and went to go put my shoes on in the living room. By the time I managed to put on my other mocassin boot, Seth was already had a shirt on and was ready to go.

"And I thought you were home alone." I mumbled.

"Well I was. I didn't know Leah was gonna show up." Seth shrugged.

"Why is it always Leah who walks in on us?"

"It's my sister. What else can I say—" Seth began to whisper as we walked out the door.

"I heard that." She said with her hands on her hips.

The minute I walked into Emily's house, all I could hear was two very high pitched voices scream my name.

"ELLA!" Yep, that definitely sounds like Kayla and Elenore.

"Hi girls. I smiled as they came up to hug me.

"Nora come back here so can finish brushing your hair!" Chloe stood up from the couch and waited for her daughter to run back over and sit down in her lap. Chloe gave me an exasperated smiled.

"She's been an energizer bunny all morning—to energetic actually." Chloe sighed.

"So has Kayla. I swear those two are naturally hyper when they're around each other." Emily rolled her eyes.

"Mommy she's my best friend." Kayla told her.

"Yes I can see that," Emily said patting Kayla on the head.

"Oooo did you just make cookies?" Seth headed right into the kitchen.

"Get out of my kitchen! Those are for later." Emily yelled.

"Oops...too late." Seth said with his mouth full of food as he continued eating the large cookie he had in his hand.

"Did you pack for your trip yet?" Emily asked us.

"Yes, I packed for the both of us." I teased giving Seth a good elbow in the gut. Seth smirked and gave me a wink.

"Let me guess," Leah got up from the lounge chair she was sitting in. "So you probably walked into his room and found him standing in front of his closet like this.

Leah pulled her shoulders back, stuck her chest out a little bit and then folder her arms...not to mention the funny face she made while squinting her eyes which is how Seth looked when I walked into his room with his suitcase completely empty. I started cracking up I had to take a step away from Seth and turn around so he would see the goofy look on my face.

"Wow Leah, that looks nothing like me." Seth shook his head.

"Actually, that's exactly how you looked when I walked into you room." I mumbled under my breath.

"See? Even Ella agrees—"

"Okay are you done Leah?" Now Seth looked irritated.

"Okay are you done Leah?" Leah said in a deep voice trying to imitate him.

"Chill babe, before you break a blood vessel." I told him before getting on the tips of my toes to give him a kiss on the cheek.

"Sure sure," He he said looking away from me.

"Fine then, be that way," I stuck my tongue out at him and walked over to the living room to go pick up Emily's son Aaron who just turned two almost two weeks ago.

"La La!" He said as I swung him to my hip still holding him with one arm.

"Hey buddy!" I kissed him on the forehead and then he gave me a kiss on my cheek back. "Awww," I smiled.

"Hey Aaron," Seth said from across the room, Aaron snapped his head in Seth's direction with a wide eyed look on his face.

"Quit trying to steal my girl." Seth told him.

"Look at you Aaron. Your big cousin is just jealous." I fluttered my eyelashes back at Seth a few times before giving Aaron another kiss on his baby soft cheeks.

"Emily looks like you got a future ladies man on your hands." Chloe said still brushing Nora's hair.

"Don't tell Sam that or else he's gonna get a big head." Emily shook her head and smiled.

"Well I'm pretty sure my brother here is gonna have a hard time keeping up with you in New York." Leah teased him.

"Stop it," Seth rolled his eyes.

"Babe, there are still several rules you need to know about New York, for example try not to look up so much or else they will know that you're a tourist which makes you an easy conning target." I told him.

"Who's they?" He raised his eyebrows.

"I think she refers to all of the people that live in the area. In that kind of place, new comers are easy to spot." Chloe explained to him.

"Oh," Seth nodded.

"Okay I'm done freaking you out. You'll be fine, I promise." I gave him a reassuring kiss on the cheek so he would stop being so tense.

We both took a seat next to each other on the couch and I leaned my head on his shoulder as he continued to hold my hand and rub it softly with his warm thumbs.

"So glad the two of us are having a chance to get of town for a while." I whispered in his ear.

"Me too," He smiled.

"Ugh! We have to get up so early tomorrow morning. It's a three hour drive to the Seattle Airport, and then it's a 4 and half hour flight to New York. We're probably going to be too tired to wanna do anything when we get there." I told him.

"We could always sleep in the car, and then on the plane. And then when we get to your grandma's place in Manhattan we can always take a nap there before we go out." Seth suggested.

"Eh, true." I shrugged.

Things have finally gone back to normal around here and I couldn't be happier. I think today was the day that I realized how lucky I am to have all of these amazing people I have met in the past three years in my life.

They saved me :).

REVIEW! Don't know what you all have been up to lately. Starting to feel like no one is really reading this :(. Hopefully that will change within these next few chapters which are gonna be in 3 parts and they all take place in NEW YORK! I went there for a week during spring break earlier this year and ever since then I've planned to have Seth and Ella go to New York just for the fun of it :). It's such an inspiring city :). I start school on August 31st so I will probably start to update maybe once every two weeks. Thanks for reading :)

Love,
