you & i [ON HOLD]

one - ella

"hey sis, you coming?" ella's sister, gemma calls from the bottom of the steps.

gemma, ella's sister, wasn't like ella at all. she was more confident. gemma knew what she was doing and was perfect and perfectly fine. she had soft, long, blond hair that waved with the wind and a slightly more colored skin tone than ella's pale body. gemma knew what she wanted in life, ella didn't, but gemma was always the nicest one too, although the usual stereotype wouldn't think so. ella was more of the 'this is the daughter that i don't like to talk about' type. ella had pale skin and she prefered to have two different hair colors, brown and purple. she had nerdy glasses and always seemed to wear a band shirt, but honestly, ella's style wasn't that bad. her head was always down and her confidence couldn't ever be boosted. not only that, but she had problems, mentally. ella had eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and she couldn't sleep. she wasn't perfect. in fact, she was broken.

"No, you go with mom, I'll catch up with dad."

ella heard a ghost of a sigh as gemma walked out through the front door. the door slammed shut and ella jumped at the sudden sound. gemma knew her mom and ella weren't close.. somethings just wont change.

ella rushed down and walked through the kitchen. her dad was on his computer, as always. doing his work, before work. she grabbed a granola bar and took a bite.

she sat on the kitchen counter, "hey dad, can we go?"

"Oh yes! Sorry i was just finishing up."

ella nodded.

he quickly grabbed his work bag and we both walked out together. he took his keys, opened the door, and started the car. he sat in the front seat and quickly got on her phone. she looked through her messages from the night before and one always seemed to stand out from all the others.

seth.

her fingers moved rapidly on the bright screen.

e-hi

she sighed and slumped in the car seat. ella reached over to the radio and turned it on. the sweet sound of twenty one pilots started to grow louder as she raised the volume. she slumped back down and checked her phone, even though it didn't go off. once she hit the power button, she felt a buzz and a quiet ding went off. she turned her phone and checked the recent message

s-hey

she smiled at her phone and quickly texted back.

e-hii :)

s-how are you?

e-good. i dont want to go to school though :p

s-but youll see me though

she blushed a beet red and her dad turned his head just in time to see the color appear on her face.

"Ella?" he asked, "You good?"

she blushed even harder, "good."

he nodded, not caring, and stopped the car.

ella's eyebrows indicated that she was confused.

upon seeing this, her dad laughed, "we're here."

ella tried laughing it off just making the situation worse, so she muttered a quick goodbye and rushed out of the car. she arrived at the front doors and the routine was still the same, but different. she shoved her books into her messy locker, hung her bag on her hook, but this time he smiled at her first. after classes, she would be greeted by her best friend melanie and her newfound friend, jonah. they would walk to the lunch room together, but this time, it was seth who greeted them.

"Hey!" he waved the trio over.

ella took a seat to the left of seth and leaned her head on his shoulder.

this was most definitely different.

most definitely.

it's not like they're relationship changed. they were good friends. that was it, but she liked him. she just didn't think he liked her back.

she thought.
