Edward Cullen's Little Sister

Chapter 7 - (Part 1) Preperation

"Ellie!" Emmett yelled, "Someone's on the phone for you." He reached me and thrust the phone in my face.
"Who?" I asked.
"Your boyfriend," he answered with a smirk.

What? I put the phone to my ear and said: "Hello?"
"Hello. Is this Ellie?" I recognised his voice.
"Yeah. Kyle?"
"Yeah it's me," he said. There was a pause. The others were all looking at me expectantly.
"Can you hang on a second Kyle?"
"Sure," he said. I took the phone from my ear and covered the mic.

"I'm going to take this call outside. If anyone follows me there will be severe consequences." I glared at Emmett as I spoke seeing as he was the one most likely to try to sneak out and listen to everything I said.

I stepped outside and then ran at full speed into the tree line. I knew none of the others followed me.

"What's up Kyle?" I asked.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go out with me at some point?" Did I? I mean, yes I wanted to take my mind off everything, especially with the depressive messages from Bella Alice was now receiving, but did I want to go and spend time with Kyle? He seemed nice but it would never last so is there a pint in getting his hopes up for no reason? I debated it in my mind and thanks to my vampire brain, it was all under a second so, to Kyle, there was no hesitation when I replied: "Sure, why not."
"Great," Kyle said. "When are you free?"
"Erm, tomorrow morning?"
"Sounds good. Meet me at the ice rink at 10 if thats alright with you?"
"That's good with me. See you tomorrow, Kyle."
"See you tomorrow." I hung up the phone and ran back inside.

"How did it go?" Emmett asked with a wink.
"We're going out tomorrow."
"Oh yeah. Ellie finally getting some action." I smacked Emmett in the stomach, wanting to wipe the large grin off his face.

"You're going on a date?!" Alice exclaimed. "What are you going to wear?"
"Not really a date," I tried to say but everyone started talking over each other about the palms for tomorrow. What I would be wearing, what car I should take, whether someone should drop me off or if I drive, whether Alice needed to take me shopping first.

I started to back away, hoping to escape but Alice saw me and grabbed my arm. "Where do you think you're going?" She asked, her previous sadness having disappeared.
"Up to my room," I replied.
"No, you're coming with me to see if there are any acceptable outfits in the house for you to wear tomorrow. Rose are you coming?"
"Yep," she said flirting to our sides.

Alice dragged me up the stairs and sat me down on her bed. Rose followed us in and shit Alice's door behind her.

I turned around and Alice was already in her large closet looking for something suitable for me to wear as apparently I don't own anything good enough.

"I don't even know what we're doing, or where we're going," I told them.
"Than text Kyle," Alice insisted.
"You can't choose an outfit without knowing the occasion," Rose added and I did agree.

I grabbed my phone and typed in Kyle's number since I'd memorised it off Emmett's phone. I said: 'Hey Kyle, it's Ellie. I was just wondering what the plan is for tomorrow?"

I didn't wait very long before he replied saying: 'Sorry, Ellie, but it's a surprise.'
'But how am I supposed to choose an outfit if you don't tel me what we're doing?"
'Posh casual?" He suggested.

"Posh casual?" I moaned to Rose and Alice. "That's all he can give me?"
"It's something," Alice said. "I can work with that."

Alice darted back into the wardrobe whilst Rose sat back down on the bed with me. She began pulling out multiple hangers with many different clothes on. Each item she didn't like got thrown over her shoulder landing in a near pile on the floor, whilst the select items Alice did find acceptable, she hung on the door.

It was a very long process, deciding what I was wearing, with what shoes and what accessories and what bag as well as how I was wearing my hair.

The final outfit was a pair of shirt denim shorts with black tights and black heels, a tight long-sleeved top and a black puffer coat/jacket that ended at my hips. I was taking a white bag and wearing my hair down.

I was ready, I just needed to wait until the morning.

Alice and I were sat in her room around 3am and I was reading a fashion magazine whilst she was working in some new designs.

Suddenly her eyes went blank and she gasped. "She's writing again," Alice whispered. It took me a second to realise she meant Bella was writing another email.
"Tell me," I begged and she nodded.
"Alice. I saw him. Maybe I'm crazy now, but I guess that's okay."
"That's it?" I asked after Alice and stopped. She nodded her eyes focusing again.

"What does she mean 'saw him'?" Alice asked confused.
"As in a hallucination?" I asked, worriedly. What if the decision to leave was effecting Bella even more than we thought, driving her mad?
"Maybe but she could just mean she saw him in something, like something reminded her of him," Alice suggested.
"Maybe," I answered before returning to my magazine.

I didn't like the feeling thinking of Bella gave me. What if she was going mad? And it was all my fault? I settled down to wait for morning and my 'date', but my mind couldn't focus on anything as a million thoughts filled my head.

Hey guys, I know I haven't updated in awhile and I'm sorry. It's been 8 days since the last chapter and this one was supposed to be longer but I've done it in two parts so I could get something published today. Hope you liked the chapter, even though it was short. Xx

Next chapter should be out soon where Ellie will go on her 'date' with Kyle. How will it go? Will Ellie and Kyle get on? What will be shared between the two?

Any guesses as to what's going to happen?
