*several hours later* (11:27 pm)
"Tyler im tired." i whined as Tyler walked back into my room.
"Same. i think i'm gonna go home." he yawned.
"No. Stay the night? please?" i made puppy eyes at him.
"is it ok with your dads?" he gave in after a few seconds. i ran down the stairs to see if either of my dads were down there. and to my surprise, my step dad was still up.
"hey dad. i have a question..." i said as he turned to me.
"what is it el?" he leaned against the island in the kitchen and drank some of what i assumed is tea because thats all he drinks at night.
"you might say no. and the only reason im asking you instead of dad is because i dont know where he is." i played with the end of my hair.
"what is it sweetie? Do you need me to help you kill someone? who hurt my baby girl?" he looked worried.
"im fine dad. im not a baby. speaking of babies, can tyler sleep over? i swear we wont make any babies." i asked him.
"i'd say yes but thats your fathers decision. im honestly only saying yes because i want to be your favorite parent so i can get that worlds best dad mug." he laughed. "im kidding by the way. of course he can sleep over if you promise not to get frisky"
"Ew dad no. thats gross." i laughed. "thank you so much. i love you" i kissed his cheek and started running uo the stairs back to my room.
"I'LL TELL YOUR FATHER WHEN HE GETS BACK FROM THE STORE" He yelled up the stairs.
"so you asked Steve in guessing?" Tyler smiled.
"yeah. he said you could. i love steve. he's an awesome dad" i said and took my hair out of my pony tail.
Tyler stared at me in awe as my hair flowed down to right beneath my shoulders and i shook it out.
"you look beautiful with your hair like that you know?" he smirked.
"oh shut up." i hugged him.
"Hey Ella Kat? i was going through the DVD box and i found one that says Ella's sweet 16 xx on it. i asked dad what to do with it and he said to give it to you." connor came in my room with the disc.
"oh my gosh!! my sweet 16! connor you were 12, Leena was 2. We're watching it. Come on!!" i grabbed the disk out of connor's hand and pulled tyler downstairs.
i pulled everyone to the couch and put the disk into the player. everyone except my dad and leena. She was sleeping and apparently dad was at the store.
"what is this youre making us watch again?" steve asked me.
"my sweet 16 from 2 years ago" i smiled as the dvd began to play.
Hi everyone. as you all know, im Ella Katherine. or as popularly known as Ella Kat or El. And this is my sweet 16.
The first few setences brought me joy. i watched as i did the candles.
this candle is for my dads. i love you guys so much and i dont even have any words. honestly, i expected steven to be a complete dick when dad first brought him home. But he wasnt. and He was the best step dad ever.
this candle is for my 3 siblings; Mark, Connor, and Colleen. i love you guys more than life. Mark isnt always here but when he is, he's fucking awesome. Connor and Colleen know i would die for them. Connor is bae. Colleen is my baby gem. i love you so so so much.
this last candle is for my amazing boyfriend of 3 years now, Tyler. You're literally the most amazing thing thats ever happened to me ever. i love how you're always there for me when i need you. and even when im a complete bitch you stick with me. and i love you for that. we rareley ever get into any fights and the ones that we do get into, are over stupid things. ive had a few boyfriends before you and let me tell you, compared to you, they were shit. I know one or two of them are in the crowd, but i dont care. because its true. i love you tyler jc solis.
i cant believe i actually winged that and was successful with it. i thought i was going to bomb it. i rested my head on Tyler's chest as the rest of the disc played. i heard steve sniffle a few times, he was an emotional wreck.
soon the dances started.
"will Ella Katherine Magner please come to the dance floor with her father Rodger step onto the dance floor at the time for their dance." the dj spoke as my father and i walked on to the dance floor and slow danced. after that everyone went back to dancing as before.
"Tyler Jc Solis and Ella Katherine Magner please step onto the dance floor for their dances" the dj spoke once more.
we all watched my face on the screen and how i smiled just as big as tyler was in that moment looking back at the video.
it was perfect.
