Okay, this is my very first series. It was clogging up my list, but I couldn’t bear to delete it. (; haha. Keep in mind that I don’t like this, and its not that great. But here it is. 
Part one! Ella’s POV.
I was at my brother Derriks wrestling practice. I'd had to drive him there, because my mum was taking on an extra shift at the diner. When I had left, as was pi.ssed as he.ll.
I was sitting inside the smelly gym, when I heard the rain. I ran outside.
As I let the rain hit my face, I smiled. The rain always made me feel closer to my dad. Almost like he was here with me. But I knew he wasnt. Because of the accident, the drunk driver...no. I didnt want to think about that. Instead I remembered all the good times. I remembered that last day, how we had ran to the car, because it was pouring rain, just like this. I sighed. That was the last day I had with him.
I remembered when I was a kid, he'd let me stand on his feet and we'd dance. I felt like a princess. Without really thinking, I began dancing alone, in the rain. I'd had my eyes closed until I felt someone looking at me. I snapped my eyes open and turned to stare at the most beautiful boy I had ever seen.He was huddled under the edge of roofing on the gym, and was looking at me with the most peircing blue eyes I had ever seen. He seemed startled that I had noticed him, and he was embarrsed.
"The rain won't kill you, ya know," I yelled out to him.
"I know," he said as he stepped out into the rain,"but it seems kind of pointless dancing by yourself, and without music."
I blushed. "Well...uhm..i dont know..,"I stammered.
"I'll be right back,"he said, and ran into the parking lot.
I stood there, figuring I'd never see him again, when a black SUV pulled up. He put on music, and jumped out of the car.
"May i have this dance?" H asked, bowing.
"Yes, you may," I asnwered, smiling.
We "danced the night away" twirling, and spinning through the courtyard like a pair of regual prom king and queen. But i was obviously no prom queen.
He dipped me, and looked into my eyes.
Next thing I knew, we were kissing. I put my hand in his black hair, and deepened the kiss.
He pulled away, but not roughly, and said, "I just realized something."
"What?" I asked.
"I don't even know your name!"
"Oh. Yes. My name is. Ella. El for short." I said.
"El," he murmered, and leaned in to kiss me again.
This time it was my turn to turn away.
"I don't know your name either!" I stated.
"Jake," he said, smiling a crooked smile that made my heart melt.
Suddenly my butt vibrated.
"Grrr. a text from my brother, practice is over and he wants me to pull the car up," I said apologetically.
"Ohkay. I have to get my brother too. Do you have a cell phone?"
"Yes," I said and I gave him the number.
"Mk then," he smiled, "I'll call you."
"That'd be great," I said, and began to walk away, winging my soaked blonde hair out.
AS I did, jake grabbed my hand, and said softly,
"Until tomarrow."
I smiled, and got the car and picked up my brother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part 2! Jake’s POV
When my brother, Anthony, jumped in th car, I was still on cloud nine. I couldnt beleive I had been so forward with that girl. Ella. Even her name made me smile.
"Uhm....Ant, do you know anything about a kid on your team, his sister, her name is ella, know anything about her?" I tried to keep my voice casual, but i couldn't seem to keep the excitment out of my voice.
"Oh don't try to hide anything from me, Jake. The whole wrestling team saw you make out with Derrik's sister through the wrestling room window. In fact, some kid video-taped it on his cell for like five minutes. Says it'll be th next hit on youtube."
I could feel the blush climb up my neck, but i was still curious about her so i pressed on.
"Do you know anything about her?" I asked impatiently.
"Aww fine. Uhm...well, her dad died last year in car wreck. She was the only one in the car. Some drunk hit 'em from the side. Her dad swerved the car to protect her, but then he ended up with the full force of the car...they moved here from Californai a few weeks back, and Derrik joined the wrestling team. He kicks asss," he said.
My heart ached to El and the rest of her family. How could the world be so cruel?
"Derrik says she took hi death real hard. She was real close with him. He also says she hasn't had a boyfriend for a while, and he actually seemed happy that she was kissing you. Said 'looks like she's finally happy'. I was mortified. For further reference, having your brother make out with you friends sister in front of everyone is extremly embarrasing. Even if she is smokin. Gee I wish I could make out with a girl as hot as her!"
I reached over and smacked my brother , hard on the face.
"DON'T EVER TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!" I yelled, as i pulled the car over.
"Geez Sorry man, I didn't know you cared so much." he apologized, rubbig his cheeck.
He's only thirteen. He's only thirteen. He's only thirteen.
I kept repeating it to myself.
"Actually, neither did I. i mean, I just met her. But there is something about her. Like something I can't explain," I covered my face. I couldn't believe I was trying to explain to my brother, of all people, about exactly how this girl made me feel, "do ya know wht I mean?"
"Not at all", he said apologetically,"but I can kind of understand." he replied.
I pulled into our driveway, and laid down on my bed. I attempted to pull her number out of my pocket, but it shreaded because it was wet; I cussed to myself.
.........
I spent the next hour and a half piecing the number back toether.
Even looking at something that she had written made my heart flutter. Jesus, I said to myself. Look at yourself, getting al riled up over a girl.
Even so, as I looked back down at her number, it made me smile.
I glanced over at the clock next to my bed. Dammmitt. 1:58. I couldn't call her this late.
Plus I should get to bed....
As i felt myself slip into unconsiousness, I thought to myself, wonder wht school she'll goes to.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part 3! Ella’s POV.
I walked into the house, once again wringing my wet hair in the sink. I looked at the clock.11 5. Wonder wht Jakes doing, i thought to myself.
"ELLA!!" I heard my mother scream from her bedroom. She was in a modd, i could tell be her voice.
"Yes mum, coming," I said as sweetly as possible. We had been ""butting heads"" alot lately, and I was trying to stay on her good side.
"Turn off the music, the gun firing, w/e stupid game your brother is playing now, I need to sleep," she moaned quietly.
Mum had been feeling depressed lately, and I had seen her snti depressants. It was important to keep her happy.
I ran into my brother's room and yanked the cord from the wall.
"What the helll is your problem??? Can you see mum is trying to sleep? Don't you know how important that is?" I yelled.
He just looked at me like I was crazy.
I left in a huff, and stormed into my bedroom. I laid on my bed and let the tears come from under my closed eyelids.
Why me? I thought for what seemed to be the billionth time, Why couldnt they take away someone elses daddy? Why mine?
I screamed into my pillow.
Once again my thoughts turned to Jake. I couldn't ever be his girlfriend. Nobody could deal with all of my issues.
Just the thoought brought a fresh round of tears.
In three weeks I'd be starting the 11th grade at a new school. I school I wouldn't need to go to if we still had my dad's paycheck. If he didn't leave.
I felt a flash of anger towards him, then a wave of guilt.
It wasn't his fault. That drunks fault. He escaped without a scratch. kept speeding down, until they had finally brought him to justice.
She'd never forget that day. It came back to her in her dreams. The headlights. The scream of metal. me begging him to stay with me. The ambulance would be there in 5 minutes. Hold on dad. And the blood. So much blood.
He couldn't hold on.
He told me he loved me and let go. I remembered how i screamed. How i wouldnt let the ambulance have him.
I buried my head further into the pillow. I couldnt be anyone's girlfriend.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 4! Jakes POV.
I woke with a start, and immediatly wish I would fall back asleep. I had been dreaming about Ella. She was sitting in the park with flowers in her ash blonde hair.
Even thinking about erh made me smile.
I jumped up and looked at the clock. 10 0 am.
Wow. I had een sleeping a while. :]
I stepped out of bed in only my boxers and walked over to my desk, where I had so meticulously labored over Ella's ruined phone number last night. The numbers were, amazingly enough, legible.
The first time i called, I mistaked a three for and eight, and got a very angry old lady on the phone. I slammed the phone down and redialed, this time with the three.
"Hello?" said a voice from the other line.
"Heyy, I breathed breathlessly. It;s Jake,"
"I noticed," she said playfully,"whats up?"
"Uhm...I was wondering if you would like to go somewhere today?" i ventured, feeling very...childish.
"Yea, that'd be great!" she exclaimed, clearly excited.
"Ohkay. pick you up in a half hour?"
"mmmk. gotta go get dressed."
She gave me her adress and we hung up. I ran around my room, threw on a pair of jeans and my lucky tee shirt. I sprayed on my best cologne, and raked my fingers through my jet-black hair as I pounded down the steps. I grabbed a bowel of fruit loops and headed out to the car.
"BYE!" I yelled over my shoulder.
I spent about 5 minutes driving to Ella's place and got out of the car.I knowcked on the door and Ellas opened it, still in her socks.
She was wearing a pair of worn blue jeans and a black tank-top with a skull and crossbones on it. She was amazingly beautiful.
She flashed me a smile and ran to get her shoes. She threw on a pair of beat-up converse [[with red laces]] and grabbed my hand and ran from the house. She hopped into my SUV and said
"So where are we going?"
"Oh you'll see," I grinned, and pulled out of the dirve-way
Part 5! Ella’s POV.
I jumped into Jakes SUV and smiled. God...he was so...handsome. Hot....Sexyy. There wasn't really a word to describe exactly how mind-blowing his beauty was. ;]
"Where are we goin?" I asked as he pulled out.
"Oh you'll see...but it'll be a while," he said playfully.
"Mmk,"I said, and reclined my seat a propped my feet onto his dashboard,"You mind?" I asked, gesturing to my converse.
"No at all...excellent shoe choice," Jake commented, pointing at his own converse.
"I smiled, then grimaced as I heard my stomach let out a roar.
"Hungry?" he laughed.
"Yea...maybe a bit," I giggled.
Jake pulled into Wendy's, where I got a chocolate milkshake and fries. Jake turned off the car and we sat in the parking ot while I ate. He gave me a confused smile as I popped off my milkshake lid.
"What the fuuu...dge. Fudge, I was going to say fudge," he said, blushing.
"Oh don't worry about it...and I am going to dip my fries in my milkshake," I said matter-of-factly.
I dipped one and popped it in my mouth and hed another on out to him. He obliged and opened his mouth. I purposly missed, then put it in.
"Hmmmm....looks like you have a little something on your nose...," I said smiling, and wiped it off with a napkin.
"It think you missed a bit..." he commented and pointed to the side of his mouth.
I leaned over and kissed the side of his mouth.
"And here..." he said pointing at his lips..."
Once again I smiled and kissed him.
I finished my food, and once again we hit the road. At about 12 0 we stopped at the end of a dirt road, Jake jumped out and opened my door.
"Gonna have to walk," he said as he grasped my hand and helped me down.
"Alright," I said, and we stepped onto the trail.
Before I knew it we stepped into the most beautiful clearing I had ever seen....
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 6! Jakes POV.
As Ella stepped into the clearing, I knew I had made a good choice. Earlier I had set up the picnic basket and blanket, and her eyes simply lit up...it was amazing.
"Ohmigawdd Jake...this is...fantabulous!" she said looking over at me.
"So...you like it then?" I grinned.
"Love it," she said sitting down.
I sat down on the blanket and looked into her eyes. I reached out and pushed a piece of her blonde hair behind her ear. Thats when I noticed her neckace, it was very delicate, a smaill ruby heart on a golden chain. I held it for a moment.
"My dad gave it to me," she answered the question that was buzzing in my brain. [[i had thought another guy had given it to her]]
"Oh..."I trailed off...unsure of what to say.
"Yeah...he died," she said, her voice completely monotone, with no emotion.
"I heard...Im so sorry," I said earnestly.
She looked at me, her big bue eyes swimming with tears, but she quickly recovered.
"So whats your story eh?" she said, smiling weakly...she obviously didn't want to talk about it...but if she ever did, I would be here. For the next twenty minutes, I entertained her with stoiries of Texas...my cousins and the ranch...and ended with moving here last summer.
"So thats where it's from," she mumbled, almost inaudibly.
"What?" I queried.
"Sometimes...when you are excited, you get a bit of a southern drawl," she giggled.
i blushed,"I don't mean to..."
She cut me off,"Oh no Jake, don't get me wrong, I absolutly love it," she leaned over to kiss my nose.
I tipped my head back a little so her kis landed on my mouth rather than my nose. I felt her tongue tease mine. and I nibbled her bottom lip.
"You know, if I continue kissing you, I'll never remember to take you on the second half of our date," I teased.
"Whatsecond half?"
"C'mon...back to the car," I stated.
"Race ya," she called over her shoulder already running.
As I ran I laughed, I was truley happy...happier than I had been in a long time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 7! Ella’s POV.
When we jumped back into the car, i turned on Jake's cd player and pumped i up...he had mcr in. i sang along...
"turnn awayyy...cause im awefull just to see...all my hairs abandoned all my body all my agonyyy..."
suddenly jake turned off the radio.
"wht was that for?"
"long story...lets not tlk about it...and plus, we only hve a short ride to go..."
"mmk." i said passivly, though inside i was extremely curious.
"i have a question..." he announced somewhat shyly.
"alrighttt..." i replied.
"erm...i wanted to know if uhh...be my girlfriend?" he finished in rush, obviously worried.
"uh. yea. :]]" I said a bit too loudly.
a huge grin spread across his face, nd i was glad.
"Alright. we're here...''
I looked out and saw we were sitting in frount of a very large fair.
omgg.
i love fairs...carnivals...thy are my thing.
"jake...i have a question for you," i said playfully.
"k..." he said, wary.
"want some cotton candy?!" i said, laughing.
"alright" he replied obviously relieved.
:]]]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -
Part 8! Jake’s POV.
I flopped into bed that night and let a slow smile spread across my face; letting my mind float to the days events.
------about 4&1/2 hours ago. :]]
Ella had bounded out of my car with that unconsious grace that I've never seen any girl in the world have. She made it all the way around to my side and opened my door and bowed, like a gent would. I laughed and threw her over my shoulder and ran into the fair with her laughter ringing far and wide.
We decided to try my hand at different fair games, and they were SO rigged. In the end, after wasting about 20 dollars on some stupid bottle&baseball game, I eventually won her a small fuzzy bear. She proceeded to do what she called the "happy dance" and jumped around until i kissed her. Then she waled up to the ball vendor...
"Alrightty mister. Ima make a bet with you."she stated boldly.
"Are ya now missy moo-moo?" he said with a western twang that was about as fake as my Aunt Tammy's boooobs.
"Yup. How bout this. If i knock down all those bottles --she egstured to the largest tower of bottles-- you give me my boyfriends money back.-she though for a moment- and that bear. -she pointed toward the biggest bear i have ever seen-
"And if you lose?"
"I pay exactly what my boyfriend payed. But I only want ONE ball"
The vendor looks El over, obviously eyeing her dainty arms and her petite frame, and said
"Pfft. Go right aheam." , tossing Ella a ball, then mumbled to himself, "easiest twenty bucks i'll make all day..."
Ella looked over the ball for a moment;spat on it, then wound up.
She threw the fastest baseball I have ever seen.
every.Single.bottle.fell.
The crowd around us fell silent, and the vendr grudgingly gave me my money and tossed Ella her bear, which she held out to me.
"Aw el. You should keep it."
"No wayy. I want you to look at it and think of me sometime," she said with a wink.
"As if i think of anything else"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 9! Ella’s POV.
That was a month ago. Jake and I had fallen so far into love, and i was so happy. I couldnt imagine life without him.
Ugh, but school started tomarrow.
BUt, on the upside, I had met a few girls, through Jake, and we went to the same school. It would work out. I hope...
I was laying on my bed, comtemplating the past few months, when my cell phone rang. Boys Like Girls song "Thunder" rang across the room. Jakes ringer. After a few moments searching, I found it in my sock drawer.
"Hello?" I answerred, althought I already knew who i was.
"Look out your window..." Jakes voice said quietly.
I glanced out my window to see Jake standing in my back lawn, with a huge grin across his face.
I quickly clambered out my window,down the tree and plopped into the grass. [mom said no ys after 11, it was 11 6] In three long strides jake was threr, helping me up. As soon as I was on my feet, I popped up onto mt toes to kiss him.
As his lips touched mine, I felt perfect. This boy was my other half, my soulmate.
I bite my lip and smiled up at him when our kiss ended.
"Hey beautiful." Jake sighed, and I knew that he was just as contented as me.
"Hiya," I whispered, and i led him over to thww willow tree that stood in my back yeard, whhere I could be sure that we wouldnt be seen.
He sat down at the base of the tree, and i sat next to him, leaning my head on his chest, and for a moment we stayed just ike that. I laid there, listening to his heart.
"So, whats up?" I mumbled, almost sad to end the moment.
"I dont know really, I just thought, this is my last night of summer, and I wanted to see you."
I just smiled.
"You're not worried about tomarrow are you?'' e added, shifting a bit so he could look at me.
"Maybe a bit." I answered sheepishly.
"Don't be, I'll be with you, we have almost all the same classes, and the few Im not in, Vix is in."
[Vix is my best girl-friend. Jake introduced me to her.]
"Yeah, i guess your right." I said, looking up at him.
Then for a while we just laid there, kissing every few minutes, looking at the stars.
Suddenly, a shooting star flew across the sky.
"Quick make a wish!" Jake whispered.
"I wish for you to love me forever." I sighed.
"What a waste of a wish," he chuckled.
"And why is that?!" I said, indignant.
"Because that one has already come true."
-----------------------------------------------------
Part 10! Jake’s POV!
The next morning the alarm went off at seven. I woke up and was very disoriented.
"Ughh. School." i thought aloud.
I pulled myself out of bed, and after a quick shower [cold, anthony took alll thehot water AGAIN] i waled into my room, pulled on a pair of dark pants and a skull&crossbones shirt, and rain a hair through my jet-black hair.
The day brightened considerably when I realized I could pick Ella up.
I texted her...
heyy babe--need a ride?
sure. wheneva. asap though;;dont wanna be l8.
I got in my suv and drove over.
As Ella bounded out of the house, I noticed once again her uncanny grace and energy. She hopped into the car and kissed my lips gently.
"Morning Sunshine," she exclaimed.
"--mornin" I mumbled.
"Sleepy are we?" she asked.
"A bit" I conceded.
"Oh I'll wake you up..." she said, climbing over the arm rest, to the drivers seat, where she sat on my lap.
She turned to face me, and a small, michevious smile played at her lips.
She leaned forward and kissed me. I could feel the way her toungue daed in and out, sending rockets of pleasure don my spine.
She put her hands at the ase of my neck, pulling me closer to deepen the kiss.
All too soon, the kiss ended, and she crawled back to her seat.
"Better?" she questioned.
"Much," I said.
Honestly, the kiss had really woken me up, I was alert as ever as we stepped into the courtyard to Briarwood High.
My fingers were laced through Ella's, and all was right wih the world, until I saw her.
Alicia, my ex from last year, was approaching me.
I hadn't told El about Alicia, she was nothing, ment nothing to me. Not anymore.
But last year....
I wont get into that.
But she had met something to me last year. BUt nothing now.
Which is why I was so surprised when she stepped in front of me, blocking the way, and kissed me full on the mouth.
The same lips Ella had just kissed.
It took Ella a nano-second to make the assumption that any passerby would made, and her hand dropped from mine,and she manuvered around Alicia before I could get her off of me. By the time I got Alicia off, Ella was nowhere to be found.
--------------------------------------------
Part 11! Ella’s POV.
As soon as we walked into the courtyard, the first person I saw was a model-beautiful girl,wearing designer clothers, with a perfectly even tan. and thick, bouncy chesnut curls. I reached up and fingered my own ash-blond, poker straight hair, feeling inferior. I squeezed Jakes hand, and continued forward.
But when SHE kissed him, I felt something crack inside me. I immediatly let go of Jakes hand and ran.
I slipped around her and darted into the building,blinking back tears that threatened to fall.
I wiggled through the mass of bodies, and found my locker as fast as possible. I shoved my bag inside, and was just about to continue my escape to homeroom, when I heard Jake's call. He was trying to make his way over to me, a worried look on his face. He was closing in on me.
I ran all the harded then, feeling more childish than ever, but facing him, and...her was more than I could handle.
What made me think he was going to be mine forever? I thought to myself as I ran.
--he told you so last night. my consious replied.
"Boys lie." I muttered to myself, so low nobody could hear.
I slid into my desk at homeroom, knowing that it was one of th few classes that Jake wasn't in.
I pulled my hood up, hoping nobody would notice me, when I felt a faint tap on my shoulder.
I turned around and was face-to-face with Vix, my best friend, and just about the only person I was willing to talk to.
Vix had dark, almost black hairwith purple streaks, cut in a short pixie cut. SH ewas wearing a black shirt that said "Be careful what you Wish For" In white, spiderly letters.
"You okay?" she whispered, so only I couod hear.
"No. Oh Vix, you wouldn't believe, Jake, he..he--" I couldn't continue.
"I know, Jake texted me. It wasn't what it looked like he---" Vix was cut off by the sharp rap of a ruler smacking onto her desk.
"That will be all, Miss Martinez?" Mrs. Johanson made it sound like a question, but we both knew it was a command.
"Yes Mam, not another word shall escape my lips," Vix answered coyly.
"Don't push it Martinez," Mrs Johanson growled.
As soon as the teacher moved away, Vix kicked the back of my leg and flashed her cell for me to see. I knew this ment she would be texting me.
vix--sorry bout tht. mrs johanson can b a reel b!otchh!
me--i know. literally. now wht were you sayingg...?
Just as Vix was about to text back, Mrs. Johnanson caught sight of the phones.
Vix managed to delete her text, [calling mrs j. a b!otch] and so did I, but the damage was don
"You both know that any and all cellular devices are to be kept off in school t all times!" SHe boomed, "lunch detentions for both of you. You can keep the phones this time, but th next time i catch either of you texting in my classrom, I will confiscate it!"
That moment, the morning news came on, adn the room fell silent.
Ugh, it looked like I would have to wait till lunch detention for Vix to tell me wht was going on. I didnt have any classes with her till then.
[[Mrs. J. never stayed in the room when we were supposed to be "being punished"]]
so on top of everything, I had a teacher who hated me. on the first day.
it was going to be a long year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Part 12! Jake’s POV
I ran down the hallway, yelling Ella's name over and over.
I finally almost caught up to her, I saw her furiously shoving things into her locker.
She turned around, but as soon as she saw me, she ran off again.
The look on her face made my breath catch.
She looked utterly broken, and her eyes were swimming with unfallen tears. She was biting her lip, the way she does when she's confused...
I'd [unintentionally] hurt the girl I loved, who had already lost so very much.
The thought of it made my chest ache.
I immediatly pulled out my cell, and texted everything to Vix, who I knew was in Ella's homeroom.
She wasn't able to text back I knew, [mrs. johanson was a real stickler for phones, i had heard] but i knew she'd read it....Vix couldn't satnd knowing that there was an unread message in her inbox.
I relaxed a bit, but not much. My shoulders were tense, which is why i didn't immediatly notice two perfectly manicured hands massaging my shoulders. For a moment I thought it was El, and i stood there.
I looked over at the hands, but then realised something.
Ella's fingernails were black.
She wore tiny, colorful braided bracelets.
I whipped my body around, and was face to face with Alicia.
"Alicia!" I hissed.
"Heyy Jakey-poo" she purred seductivley.
"You know what? You are a real b----. You might have ruined my chance with the girl I love. The only girl I will ever love;;emphasis on only," I growled,"you mean nothing to me;not anymore. Now get away from me."
For a moment hurt crossed across Alicias face, then anger, but a second later she recovered, her 'sweet' smile returning.
"Oh thats what you think Jake, but I swear, you'll be crawling back to me before you know it...you'll be mine again." she declared, marching off, her heels click-clacking all the way.
It made me think on the way Ella's converse had smacked on the floor as she ran.
Oh Ella...if only you knew how much you mean to me...i thought to myself.
-->I spent all day trying to catch up to El, but whever she saw me, she either ran, or hid. One time I swear I saw her duck into a brom closet.lunch came and she wasn't in the caf, so I plopped down into a chair next to my best mate Matt.
Matt has shaggy dirty-blonde hair, a real skater dude. We'd been friend since we were in diapers. I could/can tell him anything.
"Sup?" said Matt lazily.
"Life sucks," I mumbled.
"Care to share man?'' replied Matt, dropping his voice so nobody could hear.
I explained everything to matt, and he listened intently,same as always.
"Aw man;I told you Alicia was no good man, you didn;t listen" he reminded me.
"I know. I only hope Vix will help me out here...I can't lose her. El means moer to me than anything…”
-----------------------------------------
Part 13! Ella’s POV.
To say that avoiding Jake all day was hard would be a massive understatement.
I had been ducking into bathrooms, sprinting down the hall, and at one point was forced to hide in a janitors closet, all to avoid the boy i love.
I was rather exahausted by the time lunch rolled around.
I got my tray and walked to mrs. Johanson's room for lunch detention, where Vix was already waiting for me.
She flashed me a smile as I flopped down into my desk and pulled my knees up to my chin.
"Aren't you going to eat?" she said.
I glanced down at the "meatloff suprise" sludge that was laying on my tray.
"Nahh;not if my life depended on it. I swear I saw it twitch on the way up the hallway...and this mneatloff suprise probably has a few too many 'suprises' in it..." I replied grumpily.
"Like one of Mrs. Nellis's chin hairs?" she chuckled.
Even I giggled at that.
"Kay,down to buisness. You need to know that Jake did NOT kiss ALicia..."
"Are you calling me a liar Vix,I know what I saw..." I interuppted.
"Stop interuppting!" Vix scolded, then continued," Alicia was Jakes gf last year. They broke up because she cheated on him. They were never right for eachother...me and matt both knew it. WE told Jake so a few times, but he didn't want to hear it. But what he has with you El, what he has with you is more real than anything he had with her,he's told me so....that you're the best thing thats ever happened to him. She wants him back, that sl--tty h-oe, she kissed JAKE. Jake pushed her off, but you were already gone." she finished in a rush.
My heart seemed to be caught in my throat...I swallowed then responded.
"So...jake was the kiss-ee,not the kiss-er?!"
"Yea." Vix said with a smirk.
"Ohmigod...sh--." i swore, angry at myself.
I whipped out my cell phone, knowing that Jake was in regular lunch, without too much supervision.
::omg jake. im so sry! v told me everything...meet you by ur car after skool? ily...soo much.
::thnk god el! idk wht id do w/o you. id never do..tht. i hope u no tht. ily too.
I smiled at Vix, who was wearing a cocky grin, overly proud of yourself.
We spent the rest of lunch laughing at stupid things, but then the bell rand for 4th block.
-->The rest of the day seemed to drag on endlessly...but finally FINALLY the last bell rung. I was first out of the classroom and in the parking lot.
Jake was already there, and I literally jumped into his arms, flinging my arms around his neck. He spun me around and planted a big kiss on my lips.
"So..I'm forgiven?" he asked playfully, a big crooked grin coloring his face.
I just kissed him again.
----------------------------------------------------------
Part 14! Jake’s POV.
Holding Ella in my arms again was like a dream come true.
Instead of going directly home, we went to an old drive-in movie place, where we bought burgers and milkshakes, and popped open the trunk of my car.
I pulled out an old fleece blanket and pulled it ove El and me, to protect us from the crisp September air.
She snuggled close to me as she finished off her milkshake, the top popped off,so she could dunk her fries in, a habit which I had also becom rather addicted to.
On the downside, we couldn't see or hear much of the movie. The sound system sucked and a large truck had very rudely parked infront of us.
On the upside...we werent watching the movie much anyway.
About as soon as the sun set, casting long shadows everywhere, Ella and I had started kissing.
She leaned upwards to kiss the edge of my lips, making me shudder.
I bent my head a little lower, letting my hair fall over my eyes. She gently moved it out of my eyes, and let her hand rest on my cheek.
I pulled her closer and placed my hand on her hip, while biting her bottom lip.
The kisses soon became more heated, and I could feel the way her toungue seemed to tease me, darting in and out of my mouth.
I could feel my body reacting, I wanted her so badly...the lot was near empty, and I knew nobdy could hear us;I was waiting only for her.
Suddenly she turned away.
"Not tonight...another night," she whispered.
"Kay," I whispered back. I knew we could wait...our love could wait.
She nestled her head on my chest and thats how we stayed for the remaider of the movie, occasionally kissing, knoing deep down, that this was enough for now.
-----------------------------------------------------
Part 15! Ella’s POV!
Thinking back on last night, I didn't know why I had stopped Jake, I have wanted him in the same way. It just hadn't felt right..too soon.
No matter...we have all the time in the world.
I read the clock next to my bedside, and jumped up, not realising I had been laying there for so long. I only had a half hour beforee Jkae was going to pick me up. !!
I rain into the bathroom, and hastily put on my makeup and straightened my hair. Then ran back to my room, and slid into a back shirt that said "LOVE NOT WAR" in big, silver writing. I jumped into a pair of faded blue jeans with rips in the knees, and laced up my loyal converse.
Just then, I heard a car horn outside...Jake had arrived. :]
I stepped out onto my porch, where I cursed the rain, it would frizz my hair in a matter of minutes.I ran out to the carand jumped in, welcoming the smell of axe and leather that was permanently in his car. Pink's song "Who knew" was playing softly on the radio.
I leaned over my arm rest, and kissed him, relishing the lazy way his lips moved over mine.
He backed out of the driveway, and onto Woodberry Drive, and continued on to the intersection of Woodberry and Rt. 478.
We were sitting at a red light, and he was looking at me. He was smiling my favorite crooked smile. The rain was slamming down on the windsheild, and yet I still saw it.
In the window behind Jakes head, a large semi was barreling towards up, sliding on the road, made slippery by the rain.
I screamed, and Jake screamed. I heard the screetch of metal, and next thing I knew i heard the scream of an ambulance.
The next few minutes were the slowest of my life.
Jake was carried off on a strectcher, while I had escaped with a few bruises and a broken arm.
And in the backround, Pink's song continued to play.
"If someone said three years from now,
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 16! Jake’s POV.
I heard Ella scream, and i felt the impact of the truck as it slammed into my door. The I felt the pain, the aweful, agonizing way the glass cut into my arms, the smash of the back of my head hitting the door. I felt people pulling me out...onto a stretcher. I heard El's aweful screams. I wanted to help her but I couldn't move.
Then there was nothing. Nothing at all.
I was in an al white room, there was nothing. No smells, no sounds...i wasn't even sure if i existed here.
I heard muffled voices, so quiet they were that i had to strain to hear.
I recognised Ella's quiet mumble, the pain was so blatant in hervoice that it made my own heart hurt.
The other voice I did not know..they sounded very cool and buisness-like, professional. cold. like they'd done this a million times.
"Is he gonna make it?" Ella whispered, almost inaudibly.
"That is not clear right now, Im afraid," the other voice answered," he;s comatose right now...but we've stabalized him...he'll make it through the night, you can go home.."
The other voice was a doctor,I noticed, with a shock.
"no way...i won;t leave him...theres a chair over there. I'll be fine," El mumbled, trailing off.
I didn't hear the doctors reply, I was once again in the white-out world, but i knew this much.
I was in a coma. Ella was fine.
What I didnot know, was how to wake up.
----------------------------------------------------------
Part 17! Ella’s POV.
I spent my days in the wooden chair besideJake's bed.
I was there just about 24/7...i slept in the wooden chair with my head resting on either jakes chest or the edge of the bed,I ate disgusting hospital food. I even had Vix bring in my homework...my mom understood sending me to school would be worthless anyway.
I'd never actually realised how many people cared about Jake...he had an array of cards,candy and stuffed animals crowding his room. Most people who came in were honestly concerned, but I could tell the ones who were just a_ss kissers.
Just such a person came in the second day Jake was comatose.
Eddie. A pure jock;.a few people even said that he had gatorade running through his veins, rather than blood.
He waltzed in, looking just as over-confident and cocky as any other day, with a boquet of ROSES, and the shi_ttyest teddy bear I had ever seen.
I took one look a Eddie, and knew he wasn;t there for Jake. His hair was gelled back to perfection, his muscle shirt closely hugging his perfectly cut abs, the look on his face practically screamed that he was up to no good.
I momentarily let go of Jakes hand to stand and greet him.
I knew I was a wreck, my hair uncombed, and marscara streaks coloring my face. i was wearing converse and a random striped shirt, paired with brown pants and a spiked belt to hold them up. Paired with all of this was a bright blue bow.
Even so, Eddie looked at me apprasingly, as though I was a car, for sale. I glared back.
"Thank you for the flowers, and nicee teddybear," I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh no, the flower aren;t for Jake, their for you beautiful,'' Eddie answered coyly. It made me so mad, I wanted to hit him right there.
"Just because Jake can;t talk, doesn't make me any less his." I snapped.
"He'd never know El, one kiss.." he advanced forward. I moved back.
"No. And dont ever, EVER call me El." El is jakes name for me, I added silently.
But then Eddie came even closer, and his hand forming an iron grip around my wrist. I could smell cool-ranch doritoes on his breath. I cringed.
"I'll give you two seconds to let go Eddie," i growed.
"Make me." Eddie whispered.
Before my dad died, he had enrolled me in a self defense class, where they had taught us about just such an occasion.
I twisted around, breaking Eddies grip on my arm. As I was doing this, I swung my right leg out, knocking him off his feet to his back, knocking the ind out of him.
"That is the last time you will ever touch me," I snarled,"now get out of here. And take you shi_t with you."
Eddie scrambled out the door quicker than Spaarky on bath night.
I collapsed down into my chair, and took Jake's hand in mine. A doctor told me that there was a small chance he could hear me.
"Jake, I don't know if you can hear me, but I need you. I need you with me. I love you too much to let go...I'm too selfish to let God take you. Please Jake, don't leave me. Don't go where I can't follow you. I love you," I whispered in his ear, tear slowly rolling down my face.
I felt Jakes hand twitch,his large hand squeezed mine ever so slightly, but more than that, the brain moniter next to his bed spiked...a lot.
There was hope.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 18! Jakes POV.
For the first time in what seemed like forever, I'd had control of my body, if only for a few moments.
The simple squeeze of Ella's hand told me that I wasn't done living. not yet.
If I could fight this long, surely I could wake up.
...at least, thats what I told myself.
The next few hours were spent trying to force myself to open my eyes. I didn't actually know if I was close, or even had a chance, but i had to try.
Then it hit me.
The reason behind my first movment was an undeniable need to comfort Ella.
I concentrated on only her. The way her laugh sounded. How she bit her lip when she was unsure of herself. The feel of her hand in mine. Her face, her hair, her beautiful eyes. How I KNEW she needed me as much as I needed her.
And suddenly, light flooded into my eyes.
It caught me off guard, and I imediatley closed my eyelids.
Then I realised. I must be in control now.
I opened my eyes just a bit, letting my lashes rest on my cheek.
Ella was leaving the tiny restroom in my hospital room. She really was a wreck.
Her clothes were rumpled, hair sticking up at odd angles. Her makeup was everywhere, gathering under her eyes where countess tears had been shed.
Even still, she was the most beautiful girl in the world in my eyes.
She imediatly plopped back into her chair, a mahogany brown,it looked extremely uncomfortable.
I couldn't wait any longer, I opened my eyes.
Her back still to me, she didn't see.
"Heyy Beautiful," I croaked, my voice hoarse due to not using it.
She whipped her head around, eyes full of disbelief.
"Jake?" she whispered, her voice unsure, like she was afraid it wasn;t real, a dream.
"mhmm," I mumbled, attempting to sit up.
"no! don't move," she scolded, rushing to my side and gently pushing me back.
I scootched over, and pulled her onto the bed beside me.
"I missed you so much," she told me.
"You to,"I mumbled.
"nuuh, you were...like sleeping," she responded, shuddering.
"not really,I could hear you. which reminds me..I need to kick some serious a_ss when I can walk." I said, remembering the thick-headed jock.
"you could hear!?" she whispered back, excited.
"I wouldn't have woken up otherwise," I stated, I was sure not.
I felt her tears on my hand, and i turned her around so I could look at her.
"Theres no need for that..I won't leave you again," i said fiercly.
She just leaned up and kissed me with intensity that I had never felt before.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 19! I accidently put jake twice here.
It took three days before the doctors decided that I was out of my coma for good before they would let me go back to school. It was the tail end of the school year, and i had a ton of makeup work. Ella and I were sitting in my room, working.
Being the brain that she was, El had saved most of her work, and was graciously let my copy, leaving alot of time for..other things.
We were sprawled over my carpet working, when she suddenly looked up at me. I blew my hair out of my eye and looked up at her.
Sudddenly she crawled over and kissed the tip of my nose. I tipped my head forward and caught her lips in mine. She parted her lips, inviting my tongue inside, an invitation that i could not deny. Tongues intertwined, gentle and rough, we kissed until our lips were almost chapped. Even still she bent her head to the crook of my neck, lavishing it with attention. In return I gently kissed along her jawbone, tiny, gentle pecks until i reached her mouth, where i sucked and nibbled her bottom lip until she shuddered and moaned.
And then my mom walked in.
"JAKE!?" she yelped, turning red.
"MA!" i groaned, jumping away from Ella who was biting her bottom lip, turning cherry red, yet still somewhat smiling.
"I'm going to go now.." my mom said apologetically, turning around, closing th door.
After she had left, Ella burst into uncontraollable giggles, and I joined her. Here we were, seniors, getting caught like a bunch of junior high kids.
Suddenly the laughter stopped, and she looked at me, blue eyes full of sincerity.
"You know I love you right?" she said, voice full of conviction.
"Almost as much as I love you." I whispered back.
..I better go.your mom might be outside the door, just waiting to burst in at the first sign of snogging." she mumbled, coaxing another laughing fit.
She rse gracefully to her feet, and strted to the door.
I sprang to my feet, catching her by the hand. I twirled her around and pulled her into a dramatic dip, where i kissed her long, and slow
-----------------------------------------------------------
20..END! Ella’s POV.
I stood on the stage in out auditorium, waiting for my name to be called. I fidgeted, wiggled..anything to keep my mind off of what was about to happen.
the end of highschool..my diploma..everything.
I reached forward to touch Jake's back. because of out last names, (his Sanders, mine Moore) we werent in the same ro, but he was right in front of me. He reached back, his movements hidden by the bulky robes, to breifly squeese my hand.
"Moore, Ella!" Mrs. Koffman boomed into the mic. I instantly tremebled. And it felt as though my legs turned to Jello.
"Here I go!" I mumbled as I staggered to the podium.
She handed me my diploma, and I gazed out into the audience. I saw my mom, her eyes glistening with tears, and my brother...
playing his nintendo.
well..I couldnt have it all. I flashed a smile and hurried off stage. Then turned to watch my classmates do the same.
Eventually Jakes was called up. He, always wanteding to stand out, smiled a crooked smile, threw up the rock on sign, and head banged a few times before hopping off stage.
He waltzed over to me, and embraced me. I could feel the heat of his arms seeping through the wool of the robe, and I felt like I could stay there forever.
But, all to soon, his family came and so did mine, and we were pulled apart.
There were many tears and hugs, promises to write and call.
Vix suddenly showed up out of nowhere, bouncing with glee. We hugged and spun around, hanking god that she was going to Pitt State, only 4 hours from OSU, where Jake and I had decided to go.
-->Later.
There was a flurry of graduation partys..all with the same food and cake, and it ended up to be about eleven, and Jake and I were sitting on a lawn chair and Vix"s garduation party, watching her flirt and banter with boys by the pool.
I turned around so i was facing Jake, and kissed him on the nose.
"This is the end, isn't it?" I moaned, a single tear escaping.
"Well, it depends on what your ending. Highschool, yes. Crapppy cafe' food, yes. Annoying jocks and cheerleaders, yes. All the end." he joked,"but at the same time..new beginnings...which reminds me,"
Jake slid out from under me, and plopped me on the chair. He fiddled around in his pockets until he found a small case, which he kept concealed in his large hand.
"Listen El, I love you. More than anything...and this will be a long engagemnt...if you say yes that is..'cause we're going to need to finish college..and get degrees, and a house..and all kinds of other things before we can do this.." he trailed off sheepishly.
"What I'm getting at is this," he dropped to one knee, and I gasped.
"Ella Moore, become Ella Sanders. My Ella Sanders. Marry me?" he whispered.
"Jake..yes,yes!" I smiled till my cheeks hurt.
Jake opened the ring box, revealing a small silver band, with a diamond resting on it.
He slid it onto my left ring finnger, and scooped me into his arms.
"Now..." he carried me off, heading towards the pool. I immediatly started kicking and screaming as he stepped onto the diving board. And he jumped.
We hit the icy water with a splash and i came up, sputter and cursing, and when he came up I promptly pushed him back under.
He popped up again, laughing.
"Still love me??' he queried.
"Always, always you goof." I sighed as I kissed him again, with the knowledge that he'd always be mine.
-----------------------------------------------------------
