the ring
Chapter 16
Leaving?
I ran past the treaty line and I ran all the way home. Edward was home with Alice and Bella. Alice was holding up 3 outfits in front of Nessie and Bella and Edward were at the piano. Everyone was looking at me and I started screaming in my head because I couldn’t find my voice ‘ITS ME STELLA…’. Edward was next to me in a second “what happened?” I forgot that I was tearing until Bella wiped them away. Alice asked me “whats wrong Stella?” I cried even more. Edward was trying to read my thoughts so I hide them. Nessie ran up to me and hugged me she whispered only that I could hear “Stell? What happened?” “Tell you later Ness”. That same moment Emmett busted trough the door. “ELLA! What happened! What did they do to you?! Are you hurt? I am going to kill them!” Nessie said “NO UNCLE EMMETT!” and I said “don’t it’s not that important I just can’t be back there for a little” Emmett growled and said “fine” I touched his arm and he looked at me pained to see my red eyes and tears rolling down my face. I just knew it. I looked at Edward and he nodded. I sighed and then I heard Rose “EW, who is she? Is she a new dog?! What the hell are you touching Emmett!” Emmett growled at Rose, his face filled with fear, anger and love. I turned to Rose and said “hey sister in law” she gasped. “Emmett I – she- What happened?!” I said “wolf pack. I need to be looking like one.., Emmett I am going to Alaska, and I will go live with Eddie for a little. Now if you will excuse me I am going to pack. I have over stayed my welcome” Emmett grabbed my hand and I said “no. I am going and you cant stop me brother dear” I hugged him into a tight hug and said “bye” tears rolling down my eyes I grabbed Nessie’s hand and we walked up to my room. I closed the door behind me and told Nessie everything that happened. She couldn’t believe it, she was going to call Jake but I told her no. “Oh, No please don’t. When you see them after I leave tell them I left to live in Alaska until I find another place. Oh Ness! I have to buy something for Billy!” “Let’s go then” I jumped into my car and drove to a t.v store. I got a HUGE t.v for Billy and Nessie brought it to him. I wrote a note saying:
Dear Billy Black,
Thank you for letting me stays and lives with you for a while. I brought you a new t.v now you can watch as many games. You’re welcome. =)
Love, Estella Mary Carty
Nessie grabbed my cloths and stuff. She got into the car and said “when Billy read and saw the note and t.v he couldn’t stop saying thank you. He didn’t want it but I hooked it up and he couldn’t stop me after”. I laughed and thanked Nessie. She hugged me and said “when you’re gone call me and always e-mail me. Keep in touch! I mean it Stell!” I laughed I said “sure. I will. Ness don’t worry I wont forget” we went home and I finished packing I gave back all the cloths Alice bought me and told her to give them to Rose. I hugged Alice and told her I wouldn’t need that stuff where I am planning on living. That’s when Emmett asked me “WHERE?” I answered “Tennessee, I am going to live there start a farm and try to live me old life alone.” Emmett stood in shock. “Wait you want to live as a farmer?” I nodded and pulled a box from under the bed. I opened it and pulled out everything from my old life. Old pictures of when I and Emmett were babies. When we milked our cows when we played with the dogs. When my family was working and almost every photo we had. I had a big white dress in the box. Emmett pulled it out and gave me a look. I said “it used to be mom’s and it was going to be mine. Anna, Hanna and Daisy wore it at their wedding I was going to at mine. Emmett’s mouth dropped everyone was at my door Esme and Carlisle hared what happened. I started my story. FLASH BACK Story:
It was a year after Emmett’s death the day before the night when Emmett died in the woods. I was walking around the barn petting Bonnie our gray old lady dogs head and looking at the woods. Emmett was my favorite brother and when he died I cried the most next to mom and dad. I was watching the trees and Bonnie walked away feeling my depression, I sighed and sat on the ground Tim came over to me and hugged me. He told me “Stella its ok we all miss Em” I hugged Tim back and I cried even harder. Mother called Tim’s name and he got up and walked to her. John Thomson Emmett’s best friend sat next to me. He talked to me about Emmett. I sighed and he asked me to ride horse back onto the trail. I smiled and looked at my father he nodded. I smiled and walked into the barn I opened the stall for my horse Bell. She was brown with a white spot on the top of her head, dark brown hair. I smiled and asked her if she wanted to ride. She snorted and I grabbed my gear. I jumped onto her back and me and John rode off. We stopped at a cliff the sun wasn’t setting but it was close to. He got on one knee and pulled out a ring. He asked me to marry him and I said “yes”.
End of Flash back. I showed Emmett and everyone my ring. Emmett said “JOHN my best friend? We asked you to marry him!?” I nodded now tears coming down my face. I saw Rose her mouth was wide open and her eyes look like they will pop out. I smiled and looked at everyone else Esme was smiling Edward mouthed ‘thinking of the proposal’. I smiled and turned to Emmett I said “yes. But the day before the wedding he died” tears rolled faster. Emmett pulled me into a hug and everyone’s smile dropped. Rose face was still shock. I said “he was walking down the street the day before the wedding and someone shoot him.” I dropped down on the floor and cried. “John loved me! I loved him! And someone had to just kill him!” I felt Emmett’s hands hug I felt everyone hug me. I got up and I put the dress back. “I never did get a chance to wear it, after the death of John and you I never left my room. Everyone was upset for me. The only person who really was teasing me was Cindy she never found someone”. Emmett said “OH I am so sorry. Ella! I am going with you to Alaska we are going to visit our friend Tanya” I smiled and nodded.
