Author's note: I'm not dead. So much has happened in this last year! I was going to post this story this time last year, but my grandma died, my ex broke up with me, I temporarily lost my mind, found the new love of my life, ultimately decided what I want to do in my life, tried to move out, and all the while battled epic writer's block. This first chapter was written by my good friend Kristyn, so if you guys notice a difference in writing styles, that's why. :)

Blue Moon Romance

Prologue

Tabby's POV

'Ah...' I thought to myself while taking in the beautiful scenery. I had hiked at least four miles into the woods, and it was getting dark already; which was weird because i had started hiking at like eight this morning. Plus i never stopped for more then a few seconds or minutes. I turned back when i heard a noise coming from some bushes and trees. I tried to figure out where it came from when...

"TABBY!"

My eyes shot open at the sound of my little cousin screaming my name in my ear. "My mom's taking us to Port Angles today, so get up." she said flipping my lights on, then walking out of my room leaving the door open.

'I don't care how young she is, I'm gonna kill her if she keeps doing that.' I thought as I rolled out of bed. I threw on a pair of jeans and a sweat shirt over my tank-top, then i put on my black converse.

My aunt, uncle, cousin and I were staying in La Push, WA, at my uncle's parents' house. Now my uncle is my uncle by marriage, so his parents aren't my grandparents. There was no special reason for our visit, so I guess my aunt and uncle just didn't want to stay at home during our winter vacation. I tagged along because my classes didn't start for another week, my boss was still on vacation, and I didnt want to stay home alone.

"Good morning, Tabby, breakfast?" Elle, my uncle's mom, asked.

"Yes please." I said sitting at the counter, as she slid a plate of cheese scrambled eggs in front of me. When my cousin realized I came out of the room i was sleeping in, she sat beside me then started to talk my ear off. Luckily i was able to tune her out and focused on eating my eggs.

Not long after I finished eating, my aunt came out of her room and had said that we were getting ready to go. I ran into my room grabbed my little black purse,and my cell phone, then ran into the bathroom to throw on a little bit of makeup.

My aunt, cousin and I spent a good couple of hours just walking around Port Angeles and doing some shopping. Then my aunt got a call from her boss, i guess she had some work to follow up on real quick. So we walked to a little coffee shop that had wifi for my aunt.

While she did her work, i got myself a tall non-fat mocha, then sat very comfortably in one of the big squishy chairs that were next to the table that my aunt was working at. I pulled out my I pod so i didn't have to listen to my cousin try and talk my ear off again. I looked at my phone and sent a text to Roxie, one of my best friend friends since elementary school. Then i looked at the time, and realized that it was only 11am. There was no way i was going to get a reply from her anytime soon. Then i sent another text to Harley, another best friend from elementary school, and i wast sure if she was awake or not, but i was more likely to get a response from her this early in the morning then i was with Roxie.

I was about to take a sip from my mocha when a roar of laughter caught my attention. I looked up at the front door and saw that a group of guys had just entered. All of them were really tall and really well built. They looked like some of the guys I saw around on the reservation.

But one of these boys caught my attention. He as slightly smaller then the rest, but still considerably taller then me. Which wasn't hard to believe, cuz here I am at 19 years old and I'm only 5'2". Yea, I'm short, but I've been told that my bubbly personality makes up for my lack of height.

Anyways, back to this guy, his back was towards me so he didn't know i was looking at him. He skin was a russet color and his hair contrasted with his skin so well being as it was a jet black color. Or maybe just a really dark brown, it was hard to really tell in this light. And his muscles. Boy oh boy did he have some muscles.

One of his friends noticed me looking at him then whispered and nodded in my direction. I tried to look away before he saw me, but i failed. His eyes locked with mine and I felt something. Something that was missing from my past relationships. A smile creeped onto his beautiful face, and his buddies started to whisper amongst them selves. I finally looked down when i realized my phone was vibrating in my lap. It was a response from Harley.

Harley: [Hey. *yawn* How're you this fine February morning?]

I knew she would text back, whether she was fully awake or not.

Tabby: [OMG! Harl, a really cute guy just looked at me.]

After sending her my response to her text, my cousin said we were leaving now. So i put my phone in my pocket and my ipod back in my purse. I grabbed my coffee off the table and got up to leave, but right when I get out of my chair i hit something really hard. I feel back into the chair spilling my mocha all down my shirt, and it wasn't a cold mocha, let me tell you.

"Oh my god, I'm sooo sorry." A voice above me said helping me to my feet while screaming at his buddies to get some napkins. I couldn't help but notice there was a bit of panic in his voice.

"I'm sorrynodontworryaboutmei'mfine." I said rather quickly trying to keep up with alot of hustle and bustle that was going on just as fast around me. I looked up to see who i bumped into and I froze where I stood. My eyes locked with his. It was the cute guy that i was staring at before. As he handed me some napkins our hands touched and I felt like a shock go through me. I was finally able to look away when my cousin's high pitched voice came screaming into my ears again.

"TABBY! we need to go." I just nodded at her, then looked up at my walking talking, cute brick wall.

"Uh, thanks." I said while blushing and holding up the napkins.

"N-No Prob-lem." I couldn't help but giggle at his stutter. I had also taken into account that he looked much younger then me, but something felt right with him. It was kinda weird.

"I'm Tabitha, but everyone calls me Tabby."

"I'm Seth. Everyone just calls me Seth." Again I giggled. What can I say, I get giggly around really cute guys, and very blush-y. Then I heard a car horn from outside. I looked at the parkinglot, my aunt was on her phone and my cousin had a big goofy smile on her face. She honked the horn. I just rolled my eyes at her and smiled.

"Sorry, I'm being honked at." I laughed, Seth laughed with me this time.

"That's OK, maybe I'll see you later."

I smiled and nodded, "Maybe, if your anywhere near La Push."

Seth's eyebrows raised in surprise as his eyes lit up. "I live in La Push."

An eager smile formed on my face as well, "Really, Awesome. I'm visiting for a week. We should hang out."

"Yea. Totally." Seth agreed, nodding.

"Here, I'm gonna give you my cell number. you should text me." I said pulling a pen out of my purse, then i took his massive hand in mine, taking note how hot he seemed to feel and the shocking feeling again. I wrote my number on his hand, then we said our good byes and I walked out to the car. As my aunt was pulling away from the coffee shop I pulled out my cell and sent a text to Roxie and Harley about what had just happened.

The next morning i got up pretty early. I was always kind of an early raiser. I looked at my phone for the time but realized i had an unread text, from a number I didn't know.

[Hey Tabby, it's Seth, Just wondering if you still wanna hang.] I couldn't help but smile and feel all giddy as I read it over and over and over again. I texted back [Hey, Seth, Love to hang, Just tell me when and where] After sending my reply i saved his number then checked the time. It was 7:15am. I jumped out of bed, still feeling kinda giddy. I pulled on a pair of shorts then pulled on a heavy sweat shirt over my tank top again and put on some tennies. Mind you, yea its the first week of January, and i don't care how gross it is outside, i cant do any kind of workout in pants. And i wanted to hike today. I threw my hair in a ponytail before walking out of my room. Elle was cooking breakfast, I told her I was gonna for a quick walk, and I had my phone if anyone needed me.

I had found a path that looked a little familiar to me, but i'm not sure why, or how. Part of me said i shouldn't take it, but I decided to go against my brain and took the path anyways. A few miles in the path had ended, now normally this is where i would turn back. But my curiosity got the better of me and i pushed my way through some bushes and past some trees. when i finally got through i was at a cliff just over the ocean. I sat down and watched the rest of the sun rise. I suddenly heard a noise behind me. At first it was just some bushes ruffling, then i started to hear voices. lots of them, and they were getting closers. i quickly stood up and had my hand on my cell ready to call for help if i needed to. A few short seconds later a group emerged from the trees, then froze when they saw me.

At first I was scared, with a million worst case scenarios running through my head, then I took a second look at them, and their attire. All of them were wearing swimming trunks. Now I'm sure to any normal person, just what i was wearing was questionable, but I didn't plan on swimming this time year.

"Tabby?" I heard a familiar voice say as he made his way to the front of the group. "What are you doing here?" It was Seth. I stared at him, confused and nervous.

"I woke up early and felt like going for a hike." I responded when i was able to find my voice again. "What are you doing out here...or planning on doing?" I then asked. Behind Seth I could hear the rest of the group start to whisper, some of them had looks that all said, 'crapwhatdowesay.' Seth however, was silent.

All of a sudden a strong cold wind hit and goose bumps took shape on my bare legs. " Aren't you freezing?" Seth asked, a hint of worry in his voice. I didn't even realize how cold it was until he asked, cuz right then a violent shiver went through my body.

"I guess i am. maybe hiking in shorts wasn't my brightest idea ever." I said with a giggle, as another violent shiver traveled through my body. Then i suddenly remembered what they were all wearing. "Were you guys planning on swimming or something? how are you not freezing?" They all looked at me, again with a look that said 'crapwhatdowetellher.'

"Were all really warm blooded, so were not to cold." Said a bigger guy behind Seth. I just gave them all a look that said 'uh-huhsurenotbuyingit.'

"Yea, unless we've all turned into snakes or something I'm pretty sure were all warm blooded. But just standing here, I'm turning into a Popsicle." I said jokingly, some laughed others didn't. Another violent shiver hit me then Seth spoke up.

"Well, we don't want you turning into a Popsicle, how about i walk you home?" I smiled and looked at the ground trying to hide my blush and mumbled a low OK. I've noticed I look at the ground a lot when i blush, which was a lot around Seth. I guess that my way of trying to avoid further embarrassment. I walked past the group with Seth behind me. I could hear some of the guys whispering as we walked past them, but i paid no attention to them,I was to busy filling giddy cuz Seth was walking ME home.

Seth and I hung out a lot during my visit. We were almost inseparable. I also got to know his friends pretty well to. there a fun bunch to be with. On my last night there Seth had invited me to a bon fire down at the beach. I questions his sanity at first because it would be freezing. But he reassured me that i wouldn't freeze to death, so i agreed to go.

A few hours later i was on a 3way call with Harley and Roxie, trying to decide what to wear.

"Ok, Tabs, first we need to establish if this counts as a first date or not." Roxie said, my phone was on speaker and sitting on my bed as i threw clothes from my suite case and on to my bed.

"I don't know, I don't even know if he likes me like that."

"But you like him, right?" Harley asked.

"Yea I guess, but what's there to start, I'm going back to Seattle, and who knows if I'll see him again the next time i come back, if i even come back."

"Hey Tabs, do you still have my brown tank top?"

"Not with me Rox. Although that would be really cute tonight. UGH!" I sighed picking up another t-shirt and throwing it on my bed. "You guys, i didn't plan on meeting cute guys while I was here, i don't have anything cute with me." I flopped down on my bed.

"What about that one black and white tank top/dress thing you have. You could wear that with a pair of jeans." Harley spoke up.

"DUDE! Harl, i think your genius." I said i started digging thought my suite case and found the top she was talking about. I put it on and put on my tightest pair of flair jeans with my black converse.I also put on a short black cardi, mostly just to cover my shoulders. I then grabbed my phone and ran into the bathroom to do hair and makeup. After an hour of straighten my hair and touching my make up I decided i was ready for my 'notsureifitcountsdate'. "Ok guys, i'm gonna go, he should be here any minute."

"OK, have fun, but don't do anything I wouldn't do." Roxie said.

"Yea, and call us with details tomorrow." Harley chimed in.

"OK first off, Rox, what wouldn't you do? And duh, i'll probably call later tonight with the dets." we all laughed then said our I love yous and good byes at once. I stuffed my phone in my pocket and grabbed my small black purse while running out the door before anyone could ask any questions.

I wasn't waiting long before I saw Seth walking up the drive way. I instantly lit up when i saw him smiled when i saw his expression to what i was wearing.

"Wow Tabby. you ...(stares)...look great."

I blushed,again looking at the ground to try and hide this blush, and giggled, "Thanks, I just threw it together." I didn't mention the part where i threw it together like two hours ago. We walked together to the beach where we met up with his friends along with other people from around the res.

The bonfire was fun. There was tons of food, mostly meat so i skipped on eating, and there was story telling and games. Most of the stories were about wolves and vampires and other monsters, although during the vampire stories flashes of one of my old favorite TV shows, Buffy, kept popping in my head and i would laugh randomly thinking of what Buffy and the gang would do. I spent most of my time with Seth, but then him and Jake started to wrestle so i just sat out and watched. I was laughing at the sight of Jake getting his butt kicked by Seth, and then Embry sat down next to me.

"Don't be fooled by his size, Seth has some moves."

"Yea, you should always watch out for the small ones." He looked at my kinda funny then i added, "Our bite is worse then our bark." He laughed at my joke.

"He likes you, you know. like, he likes you a lot. He hasn't actually admitted it yet to the rest of us, but we know." I fell silent, but kept watching Seth and Jake going at it in the sand. "Do you like him?" Embry then asked.

"Yea, but it doesn't do any good to try and start anything, I'm leaving tomorrow. and i don't know when I'll be back again." I said, a small tear escaped my eye. I looked at the ground to try and hide it, but I'm sure he saw it. I felt like I just broke my own heart, from something that never even started. 'Stupid Tabby' I thought. "Excuse me." I said getting up and walking away. I didnt want Seth to see me sad. I didnt want him to remember me like that.

I was heading home but stopped when I heard my name being called. I turned to look and saw Seth running towards me. When he reached me i didn't even get a word out before his lips came crashing into mine. It took me a second to realize what was happening, and to figure out that i didn't want it to stop. Seth was kissing me, and it was like no kiss I've ever felt. There was so much passion and longing. I kissed him back with everything I had. We finally separated our lips from each other but kept our foreheads together.

"Tabby, I love you I've loved you since we met in the coffee shop I don't know how to explain but I never want anything bad to happen to you and I never want to see you leave." He whispered all in one breath. It reminded me of how i talk when I'm really excited. and the fact that i understood everything he said didn't even phase me. I just smiled like a big goof ball.

My brain started screaming: 'TABBY, you're leaving tomorrow, you can't start anything tonight.'

While my heart was screaming: 'TABBY, TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM TOO, TELL HIM YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE, YOU WANT TO BE WITH HIM FOREVER.' since my heart was screaming louder then my brain i decided to listen to it.

"Seth, I love you too, and I can't live without you. I don't want to leave tomorrow."

"Then don't leave. Stay with me." he begged. My heart was beating a million beats per second. I thought i was going to pass out from lack of oxygen, since i was apparently holding my breath. When i finally was able to take a breath, i nodded in agreement. Seth wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into another passionate kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. Then a thought occurred to me.

'What do I tell Roxie and Harley?'
