1 Just an old girlfriend
I threw my rucksack over my back, Jacob was beeping the horn and getting all impatient waiting for me, at least he didn't have to wait for Leah – She'd been in the shower for the last half
hour. "Coming!" I yelled, knowing he'd hear even over the roar of the engine. We didn't have patrol today, it was all Pauls and Jareds, so Jacob insisted that we had to go back to school.
Finals were coming up and Jake was way behind.
"Hey Seth." He yawned, as I got into the rabbit beside him.
"Hey man." I grinned.
"Good to go?"
"Yeah sure, reckon anything goods happened since we've been away?" Jake chuckled. "Isn't chasing vampires enough for you? You need petty teen gossip as well?"
"Easy for you to say, you've got Nessie, your life's already complete." I sighed, all I wanted was an imprint. I couldn't have girlfriends, because of the secret, and the person I could of told
just never turned up. It seemed pathetic to say, but I had a lot of love to give. Jacob hummed in thought. "It'll happen some day." He shrugged. "Not like you're getting any older is it?"
"Suppose not." I murmured. I didn't want to live my life like Leah, bitter and waiting for someone or something which might never turn up; going to council meetings alone, having nobody
to think about when I was paroling alone.
Always alone.
Nothing depressed me like that did.
As we pulled into the parking lot, I saw all of the familiar faces, and it reminded me of when I was just Seth, not one of the infamous La Push gang. We quickly headed to our form room, to
meet the rest of the pack, the familiar smell of the corridors was comforting, as was the bleak grey paint. Suddenly someone was clutching my biceps, their hand cold against my skin. "Umh Hi" I managed.
"Sethy, where have you been?" Came a soft, kind of nasal voice. Their other hand clutching my other arm, there was no escape unless I broke her arms. "Oh Morgan, I've been... Really really busy with work and stuff, I never get a spare moment." Her hair was the same peroxide blonde, which now looked cheap against her russet skin, and her mouth still the same pouty
pink heart. And all I could ask myself was, how could I have forgotten my girlfriend. Granted it was before I phased, but holy shit. Who forgets that?
"You don't have to apologize Sethy, I've been here defending your name. But, now we can get back to me and you." Jake was stood behind Morgan, and gave me a stern look. It was to
dangerous for me to be with someone outside of the box. "Morgan, its..Its been to long." Was all I could manage, hurting girls just wasn't my think, I wasn't Paul- I wasn't a heart
breaker. "So..." Sniffed Morgan. "You leave, for 6 months, I stay loyal...Then you come and say 'Its been to long.' what am I supposed to do with that. I look a compete idiot!" She
shrieked, I winced. "I bet you've just found some other girl, fucked her a few times, and have got stupid ideas about your feelings" Jake yanked my arm. I shrugged him off. "Morgan, I am so sorry-" But there was nothing more to say.
