Chapter One: Seth's POV

Hiding

So this is what 21 feels like. I guess its good. I mean ever since the 'battle' with the Volturi life has been pretty uneventful. Nessie has grown to her full potential and what a fine young woman she has become. I have got to watch her grow and she is marvelous, over the years our friendship has grown so immensely, I lover her like a sister, most of the time even more than my real sister. Leah is as annoying as ever and moved far away so whatever, she stopped phasing so that's good, we don't have to hear her depressing thoughts any longer. She comes home every now and then for family gatherings and everyone is, cordial. Anyway, once Nessie became sixteen, well looked like she was sixteen, Jacob was all over that. She knows about the imprinting and everything but that just brought them even closer, they are actually just married and built a house not too far from the Cullen Mansion.

Quill's doing pretty well for himself also, he didn't imprint but he didn't need to; he met a girl in one of his classes that he took at the local college near forks. They are now living together and she knows about the whole wolf thing and she's cool with it. Her name is Darcy and she and Nessie became really good friends as well so Darcy's pretty much in it for life. It seems like pretty much all of the older wolfs have permanent girls and they are all friends too. I swear they must have like a Wolf Girlfriend focus group or something because I don't know how they deal with us.

The only one who is single really is me. It's not that I choose to be single and it's not like there aren't girls trying but they just aren't the right ones. I know it sounds cheesy but I want to find the one. When I see the other wolves with their girls I just get so depressed- no one knows about it though because I put on a pretty good mask but I'm done hiding it. I just want to feel what its like to love someone so much that it's unbearable to be away from them for more than a minute- I want to imprint. I think Edward kind of knows being that he can read my mind at all times but he has never said anything, he's cool like that. Although the wolves can read my mind when I'm phased I'm very good at disguising my thoughts, they have no idea. Their so blinded by their stupid love that they can't even see that a brother is hurting- it's okay thought because I can't take this anymore. I'm done living like this, seeing couples everywhere I go and me tagging along alone. First things first- I have to break the news to Jacob.
