I came up with this idea on one of my writing sprees. I've had a lot of things, but this was absolutely my favorite. Also I made a few adjustments to the story. In the book Seth is only 14 and in the movie, 15. But here he'll be 16 and turning 17 soon to move along in the story.
And thanks to CheyChey101 you'll be reading this awesome story.

Beach Party
The sun was setting when I saw my friends arriving at the party. It was for our friend Aaron's going away party. He graduated not too long ago and was leaving for New York. Not a lot of people leave La Push after high school, but Aaron was gifted and needed to show it to the world. I was one of his oldest friends.
I first met him when I babysit his sister when his parents went out. Aaron was old enough to take care of himself, but not his sister. She was just five years old then.
The music was loud and everyone was having fun. It wasn't often when we got together like this. I even invited some of my friends from college. They came down here for a visit and thought a party would be awesome.
"Hey, Stormy," I heard my name being called. I twisted around to see Aaron. He looked just like everyone else that lived in La Push with tan skin and long hair, expect me. My parents and I moved her before I got into high school. They knew a lot of people from La Push before I was born. They used to live in Forks, but like the reservation better. I agreed with them. Everyone was nice. Most of my friends were from here.
"What's up Aaron?" I shook the curls from my face. "I got you a present."
His expression showed his excitement, "You didn't have to do that."
I laughed and pulled him along with me to the car. "Yes I did. I still have the bracelet you made me for my birthday. I thought I owed you something."
I opened the trunk of the car. A flat blue box with silver bow sat in the center. I picked it up and handed it to him, "You can open it later. Right now I need to go have some fun."
Back with the others Cassie called me over, "Time for the drinks!" she shouted. I could tell she had some way before the party started. She handed me a shot glass along with the others. On the count of three we threw our heads back. It burned my throat.
It was night time and the party was still going. Aaron walked towards me with some of his younger friends. "Everyone meet the greatest babysitter in La Push, Stormy Hanson!" he raised his hands in the air.
"Someone had one too many drinks." I said jokingly and turned to his friends. He pointed at a girl with red streak in her hair, "This here is Beth." Then nodded towards a boy the same height as him, "and Mica. They're both seniors now." I looked over at the other kid. He was staring at me with a smile. "And this little soldier is Seth. He's a junior. Took him under my wing."
Seth smiled bigger and punched him in the arm. "That's not what happened. If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have got a date with Amber."
"You weren't supposed to tell anyone that." Aaron deadpanned making me laugh.
I waved at them, "It's nice to meet you guys. I always wonder who stole Aaron's attention when I called to hang out."
"You were days too late Stormy." He put an arm around my shoulders.
"Where did you get a name like that?" the girl, Beth asked me.
I sighed, "The eyes say it all." My eyes were weird. They were grey and big. "My mother said she saw a storm brewing in my eyes when I first looked at her."
"That's cool." I looked to Seth with a raised eyebrow. He blanched, "Um, your name is cool- your eyes too… I think they're pretty-"
I stopped him for saying anything else. "Would you like to dance?" I asked him. His eyes went big and I swear I saw him blush. Yes I was a bit older than him, but he is just too adorable.
Mica pushed him forward, "Of course he'll like to dance. Wouldn't you Seth?" All he could do was nod his head.
"Don't worry." I grabbed his hand and moved to where everyone was dancing. It was close to the fire and between the stereo. The music was upbeat. I turned and put his hand on my hips. "Just move with me." I said loud enough so he could hear me. The drinks were staring to mess with my head.
My back touched his chest and I swayed to the beat. He nervously places his hands around my waist. He started moving to the beat with me. I swayed and moved getting lost in the music. As the beat began to slowdown I turned around. I put my hands around his shoulders. "You're not too bad on your feet."
"Not too bad?" he asked, surprised. He then smiled, "I thought you did okay for someone who is older than me."
My jaw dropped opened and I laughed, "Seth!" I hit him in the arm. "You act like I stepped on your feet."
He laughed and shrugged his shoulders. With a sudden thought I smiled smugly. I step closer to him and press my chest against his. He stops laughing and stares at me shyly. I take his arms and place them on my hips. I tighten my arms around his neck. I lean over and whisper in his ear, "Well I think we have some moves to work on." Good thing we were the same height. I could see just how flustered I made him.
"Seth!" I heard a woman say his name. Seth looks behind me and groans. She shouts his name again. I turn and see a girl around my age looking through the crowd. When she spots us her eyes glare in our direction.
"Who is that?" I asked Seth gesturing to the woman.
He sighs and backs away from me. "That's my sister."
After he said that the woman came up to us. "Seth what are you doing here?"
"Mom said that I could come." Seth said looking like a kicked puppy.
She put her hands on her hips. "Mom didn't know about the alcohol."
I stepped in. "He didn't have anything. The only one drinking are my friends and I."
The girl then glared at me. "Anyone can sneak around and get it. It's just sitting out in the open. And what are you doing dancing with him? He's just-"
"I know how old he is." I said cutting her off. I was mad that she was ruining my buzz. "We were just dancing not fucking. So do not come for me." I said the last part slowly.
She grabbed him by the arm. She didn't say anything else to me. "Come on Seth."
He didn't refuse to leave. He let her drag him away from me. I stood pouting. Even after he turned around to look at me again, I was angry. But the smile he had sent me made me calm down. Shaking the anger away I went to the table filled with drinks. I wouldn't let anyone else ruin this celebration.
Lillian, another friend from college came over. "What was that bout?"
I shook my head with a grin, "Just an overprotective sister." I jumped up in excitement. "Now let's party. I need some more drinks." We both pick up a shot from the table and threw back our drinks.
…
The next day I woke up with a headache. I groaned and threw the pillows over my head. Someone was knocking on my door when I was trying to go back to sleep. "Go away!" I shouted from under the covers.
"Is that anyway to speak to your mother?" I moved the covers back to see my mom. Her curls were piled up on her head. Her chocolate skin shined in the bright sun. "It's time to get up."
I whimpered, "But my head hurts and I feel like I'm gonna be sick."
"Well that is not my problem Stormy. I told you not to overdo it. You just turned 21." She opened the curtains to let more light in. "Now get up. We have a surprise for you."
Once she left my room I hopped out of the bed. I didn't bother to change my clothes. I left the overly bright room and walked down the stairs. Our house was somewhat big. It's a two story, but with three rooms. Nice and cozy.
I could see Dad making French toast. Mom was drinking a coffee, watching him. Even after all these years she still looked at him like that. That's the kind of love I always wanted. It seemed so pure and innocent.
I smiled and seat next to mom. "So where's the surprise?" the first thing I ask dad when he sat down a plate before me.
"Don't you want to eat first?" my dad teased me. He knew I hated surprises. Well I hated when someone said they had a surprise for me. Or that they wanted to tell me one thing and make me wait.
"You are your father's daughter." Mom said. "But you remember how we talked about moving to Seattle? Well we are going."
I frowned at her. "That's so not a surprise."
My dad chuckled, "She means me and her, sweetheart. You're staying here." He took out a pair of keys with a glitter blue heart key chain. "We thought that if you wanted to be on your own it would be here."
My jaw dropped at the announcement. I looked back at the both of them and let out a scream.
I know it's not much, but it's just the beginning. If you have any suggestions, please send me a message or in the reviews.
