.::I�m So Tired of Second Chances::.

GONE. with the stitching in her heart let out A silouhette that just won't heal I'm dying in your arms tonight... AIDEN<3

 

            Ella was home alone on Saturday. Her mother had to work and had to leave her by herself. Ella liked to stay alone because then she got to crank up her music extra loud so it filled the whole house. The Spill Canvas blasted through the whole house as Ella prepared herself a sandwich for lunch. The phone rang and Ella turned down the music as she went to answer it.

“Hello?” Ella said taking a bite of the sandwich.

“Sanger’s in the hospital, I’m in your driveway come outside.” Evan replied.

“What! Okay I’ll be there.” Ella said running up to her room and slipping into her black skinny jeans and a random shirt she saw on the ground. She ran outside and got inside the car to see Sanger sitting in the passenger seat next to Evan.

“So, where are you to kidnapping me?” Ella asked raising her eyebrow.

            The car ride was silent except for the radio which Sanger kept changing every five minutes. “Seriously, guys where are you taking me?” Ella whined.

“You’ll see.” Evan replied turning onto the highway.       

            After a very long thirty minute drive Evan parked in front of a large park. Ella got out and followed them as they led to where ever they were trying to take her. They began approaching a pond and a willow tree.

“Uh, guys, you aren’t planning on killing me and dumping my body in the pond right?” Ella asked them as they began to get closer and closer to it. They stopped right in front of the willow tree.

“Bat in position.” Evan said.

“Fox ready.” Ella heard Joel’s voice say from behind the tree.

“You guys aren’t selling me for a camel are you?” she asked getting nervous.

“No, a bike.” Sanger replied pushing Ella through the leaves of the willow. She saw a table and two chairs. Ray had been tied to a chair and Ella was quickly tied to the other one.

“Have a nice lunch.” Sanger said leaving the two alone.

“They set us up.” Ray replied at a shocked Ella.

“I will never be able to trust them again.” she said smiling.

“You know, I’m actually not tied so how about I untie you and we ditch them?” Ella nodded.

 

            In an hour the boys came back to check on their two friends to find two empty chairs. They paced around a bit and began to wonder how they got away.

“Where did they go?” asked Evan. Joel shrugged.

“I thought this was going to work.” Sanger pouted sitting down on the chair.

 

            Ella and Ray were on the playground at the moment. They had escaped and found the playground after running away.

“I can swing higher than you!” Ella said challenging Ray.

“I bet you can’t.” Ray teased.

“I’ll bet you five bucks on it.” she said pulling the bill out of her pocket.

“You have a deal.” Ray said trying to higher his swing.

            In the end they both ended going the same height. They got off their swings and decided that they should go and find their friends. They went back to the willow to see that they had all left.

“Well, were stranded here and I don’t know how we’re going to get home.” Ray said sitting down against the tree.  

“Maybe we should call them.” Ella said sitting down next to him. He immediately put his arm around her so she could rest her head on his shoulder.

“You know I like it better when people aren’t trying to push us together.” Ray said.

“Yeah, me too.” she said closing her eyes. Ray’s cell started to ring.

“It’s Evan.” he said.

“Don’t pick up.” she said eyes still closed. Ray nodded and put his cell back into his pocket. Ella soon drifted into a deep sleep. “I’m not ready for marriage!” Ella heard herself say as she was being shaken awake.

“I never asked you to marry me?” Ray said eyeing her.

“Oh, right. It was a dream.”

“Oh, so now you dream about me.” he said smirking at her.

“Yeah, but in this dream you were gay.” she said smirking back. They both got up and made their way to the parking lot where Evan was waiting.

“No more kidnapping.” Ray warned as he got into the passenger’s seat.

            Evan dropped Ray and Ella back at Ella’s house because she had fallen back asleep in the car. He carried her to her room and placed her gently on the bed. She opened her eyes to see Ray walking out of her room.

“Wait! I’m scared.” she called after him.

“Of what?” he asked her.

“Of being alone in the dark.” she said.

“Would you like me to stay until you fall back asleep?” Ray asked her taking a seat in the chair conveniently located near her bed.

“Yes, sir.” she said closing her eyes again.

“So what am I suppose to do if I’m scared of the dark?” Ray said softly.

“Well, you can lie down next to me.” she replied. Ray got up of the chair and crawled into the bed.

“Ella?”

“What?”

“Good night.”

“Nighty.” she replied before falling asleep for the third time.

                        Ella awoke at 5 in the morning to find Ray still sleeping next to her. She smiled and walked over to the bathroom to get cleaned up.

“Come back to bed.” Ray said in a sleepy voice once she was done. She got back in bed and put her head on his chest.

“I need to make breakfast.” Ella whined.

“No, stay.” he replied kissing the top of her head. Ella looked up at him he was still half asleep. Before she could realize what she was doing she crashed her lips into his.

 

            Sanger woke up in the middle of night feeling greatly troubled. He called Serena to see if she could help him with his problem.

“Hello?” Sanger heard Serena’s sleepy voice say.

“I need help.” Sanger replied franticly pacing around the room.

“What?”

“Well, I had this really weird dream where you broke up with me at the Dinner Diner because I forgot what your favorite color was.”

“For future reference its purple.” she said hanging up on him and falling back asleep.

            Sanger decided after thirty minutes of attempting to sleep that he should quit trying and vandalize his little sister’s dolls. After drawing all kinds of random things on their faces Sanger finally fell asleep on the floor next to his bed.

 

            Serena decided she should call Ella in the morning. She dialed the number and it rang three times before she picked up.

“Hey what are you up to?” Serena asked her.

“I have a boy in my bed.” Ella said smirking at Ray as she said this.

“Oh, and may I ask who this boy is?”

“Raymond Williams.”

“Who’s Raymond Williams? Oh, Ray Williams. Wait what?!” Serena shrieked into the phone.

“Uh, that’s what I’m wondering.” Ella responded.

“So you and Ray, huh?”

“Me and Ray.” she repeated.

“Haha, finally!”

“I knew you would react like that.”

            Serena hung up with Ella and decided that she should go talk Mandy into going down to the gym with her.

“I don’t like the gym!’ whined Mandy as Serena attempted to pull her inside.

“Please, I don’t like working out alone.”

“Fine.” Mandy said letting go of the car door and walking into the building with her. They put their stuff in the locker room and headed straight for the treadmill.  Turning on the machine Serena started to jog while Mandy sat in the bike next to her and pretended to workout.

“Hey, isn’t that-?” Mandy said looking over to see a guy kissing another girl.

“Yeah, that does look a lot like-“Serena began but couldn’t finish her sentence.

 

“Are you sure it was him?” Ella asked her friends.

“Yeah, were pretty sure.” Mandy said looking at Serena who nodded.

“Well, I gave him a second chance and he blew it.” Ella replied shaking her head and walking out of the diner and back to her house. Ray had some major explaining to do, but this time Ella wasn’t going to listen.
