EDITED

two years later-

"wake the fuck up," ella heard faintly as she felt a hand hit the back of her head. "mom says i need to give you a ride to the hemmings and i'm not going to wait around for your ass to get ready.
i have plans soon so jump on it."

ella groaned and opened her eyes to see none other then her wonderful sister groggily standing over her. ella's eyes looked over at the alarm clock on her nightstand, which she forgot to set, and saw it flash "11:47am". ms. hemmings was having a dinner party for ella and luke graduating and ella was showing up extra early to help them set up.

"why couldn't you just get your license like a normal person?" reagan muttered as she walked out of ella's room. reagan, being 24 years old and always saying out independent she was, was still living with her parents and was in a bad mood 24/7. ella and her hadn't really gotten along since reagan graduated high school. her mood had suddenly just shifted and it was like ella was never her sister, just an enemy she hated now.

"you know driving scares me!" ella shouted back even though she was sure reagan wasn't in vicinity. ella threw on a pair of ripped high waisted shorts and a panic! at the disco muscle tee with her vans. she rushed down the stairs, seeing reagan on the couch and hearing her mom singing something in the kitchen. she made her way towards her mom was hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek.

"oh, el, you scared me!" ms. mirman exclaimed, "i'll see you later tonight at dinner, okay? have fun, love you!"

"love you too, mom." ella said walking out the door with reagan trailing behind.

-

the car ride consisted of reagan's horrid music taste and reagan chewing her gum loudly so to say ella was relieved when they pulled up to the hemmings household would be an understatement.

"i'll see you tonight?" ella asked her sister, who nodded and rolled her eyes. while ella got out of the car, she noticed two other ones that were rarely here, jack's and ben's. before she could even reach the door, ben swung it open with a bright smile on his face.

"el! get over here!" ben yelled excitedly. ben wasn't able to make it to her and luke's graduation so the last time she saw him was christmas. ella ran to the tall boy and hugged him tightly. after they pulled away, they entered the home to see three other bright, hemmings smiles in the kitchen.

"hi, honey!" liz said while pouring, what ella assumed to be cake mix, into a rectangular container. jack approached her and without words, gave her a huge hug. since their breakup, they've been okay, managing a friendship without anything coming in between that. when ella was released, her eyes fell on luke who was licking the cake batter off of the spoon while liz wasn't looking.

luke and ella were friends for awhile but had grown even closer after jack left for college. but within the last months of high school, her admiration had grown and she was pretty sure she had feelings for him. Besides her being jack's ex-girlfriend, Luke had gotten out of a serious relationship with a girl who's name ella never bothered to learn because she was a bitch anyway. she always just referred to her as 'asparagus' and once luke saw how he'd been fooled, he dumped her. he'd been so much happier since and it was nice having theeth-y smiled luke back. ( a/n: I got carried away iM SORRY)

"hey!" ella scolded luke, "save some for me!" she ran over to the bowl and took the spoon from him, putting the whole thing in her mouth.

"that's not fair! it's my cake too!" luke protested. all ella did in response was wink.

"both of you, c'mon..." liz groaned, turning around, "el, you're supposed to be the good child. now i have to wash the spoon," Liz sighed. "all of you, just somewhere else, please." she was obviously under a lot of stress so they obliged. luke had departed quickly heading up the stairs while jack, ben, and ella headed to the basement and sat down to play some video games. a couple minutes into kicking the boys' butts in call of duty, ella's phone buzzed,

breadstick: HELP 911 i don't know what to wear and only my bestest friend can help me instead of my brothers stealing her away from me :-/
