Saved (A Scott Hoying Fanfiction)

Chapter 4

Scott's POV:I clench my jaw when Ella catches me looking at her. I was hoping she wouldn't notice.I don't know why, but there's something about her that's... interesting.I shrug it off for now, and go get lunch with everyone else. We end up using two cars, half of us in my car, and the other half in Kevin's car. Because it's my car, I drive.The people I'm driving are Ella, Esther, and Kirstie. All the girls. Kirstie sits next to me in the passenger seat, and Ella and Esther sit in the back. I listen them laugh and talk the entire ride to the restaurant. I smile whenever Ella laughs. I'm glad she's getting more comfortable, around Kirstie and Esther at least.We pull into the parking lot right after Kevin does, and we all pile out of the cars. There are seven of us, so the wait for the table is a little long.We ended up going to this small restaurant with a lot of charm. Every room is a different color with a bunch of different decorations. Not to mention the food is incredible.We all pile into a huge table, and Ella ends up sitting next to me. I'm kind of glad, even if she isn't.A waitress comes over and hands out the menus, gives us her names, and takes our orders for drinks.Ella seems a bit uncomfortable, and I start to feel bad for bringing her into a situation she doesn't want to be in. She seemed fine in the car.There's something strange about her.Anyways, we order our drinks and start talking. "So, Ella, how do you like this place so far?" Avi asks her."It's really cool, actually." She answers, seeming to be warming up to Avi and Kevin a bit more, "I love the decor and that every room is unique.""And the food is amazing." Avi replied, a grin on his face.The waitress comes back with our drinks and asks for our orders for food. Eventually, the food comes too."This is amazing!" Ella exclaims after taking a bite of the pasta she ordered.I smile at her. She's smiling, really big. She's beautiful. Her teeth are perfect. Her eyes are perfect, they crinkle a little at the edges, but something about it seems wrong. Like the crinkles aren't from smiling a lot."Hey Scott?""Yeah?" I turn quickly to face Mitch, but his eyes slip past mine and widen. I hear a small yelp, and a few gasps.I turn around and feel my face heat up with embarrassment. I had knocked over my drink. And guess what it did. I bet you're already guessing.It fell over and spilled. Not only did it spill, but it spilled all over Ella.Her face is probably 10 times redder than mine, and she stands up quickly and runs off to find the bathroom. Great.I pick the glass up that had tipped over, put my elbows on the table, and rub my face in frustration."I'm going to go find Ella." Esther says, standing up and hurrying off.The rest of the table is silent, except a few thank you's when the waitress comes over and mops up the drink from the table and Ella's chair."I'm so stupid." I mutter to myself in frustration."No you aren't, Scott." Kirstie says softly. "It was an accident."I don't respond, and the rest of the meal I'm silent.Esther comes back without Ella. "She's cleaning herself off in the bathroom." Was all she said as she sat down. I could feel her looking at me. "She isn't mad at you, Scott."I look up at that, "Really?"Esther kind of laughs "Of course she isn't. It was an accident."I sigh in relief. "Okay."Ella's POV:I'm facing the opposite direction from Scott, talking to Kevin, when I feel something cold hit my lap and stomach. I let out a small yelp of surprise, and some people gasp.I turn to face Scott, and his face is red. He knocked over his drink and it spilled all over me. I feel my own face get red, but his is probably 10 times redder.I stand up, and run off to find a bathroom.I find the bathroom with a little help from a waitress and go and try to clean up. It's not that bad, really, just a little sticky.I turn as I hear the door open, and to my relief it's Esther."How bad did it get you?" She asks, looking at the wet patch on my jeans and the lower part of my shirt. 

I shrug, "Not that bad." Esther smiles a little, but it disappears from her face quickly. 

"Are you mad at Scott?" I laugh at that. 

"Mad? No, of course not!" Esther sighs, 

"Good. Because Scott is freaking out. He thinks he made you mad. He's like, having a panic attack." I laugh, shaking my head, 

"It was just an accident." Esther nods, 

"If you don't mind, I'm going to go tell him before he has an anxiety attack." I smile, 

"Go ahead." I clean up the best I can, and head back to the table. I feel my seat before I sit down to make sure there's no soda left on it. There isn't, so I sit down. The others have practically finished, so I get mine in a take-out container, so I don't hold them up. I'll just eat at the studio. 

 "I'm sorry for spilling my drink on you." Scott apologizes, looking really nervous. 

 "It fine, Scott. Really, it's just soda." He nods, rubbing the back of his neck. "Hey," I add, "is it okay if we stop by my apartment to get my clothes and a few other things if I'm staying with you and Mitch now?" He nods, seeming a bit relieved, 

"Yeah, we'll go after we're done recording."
