Bella breathed a shaky breath, she was nervous. Of course, it was normal for her first day of college but still she was known to over react. She moved in her dorm and met her roommate a week before classes, her roommate cassie was nice. She gave bella her space but knew when to push her out of her shell, she could tell they would be great friends. Now here she sat in art 101 ready to start her journey. After a year , bella finally got the hang of things and developed some free time but being an art and English major was tough, and there were some late nights, tears and lots of coffee but she loved every second of it. She came to know little things about herself that she never knew before. She found that she had a thing for animals and go carts but also simple sports like bowling and batting cages. But one thing she enjoyed more than anything was her motorcycle, she loved it. She had bought it from a graduate student who was ready to leave it behind. She even learned how to maintain it but she didn't know everything which led her where she was. Ricks motorcycle shop, which wasn't to far from campus.

"um, hello?" she called out not seeing anyone in the lobby. "yeah! one minute !" a gruff voice shouted back. A couple minutes later, a dark skin man with glasses and a baseball cap came out. "sorry about that, how may I help you?" "yeah, im here to get my motorcycle looked at, I cant exactly pinpoint whats wrong with it but its not running properly."
"really? You ride huh, your kind of young but no worry ill have my best mechanic look at it Where is it?"

Bella smiled . " my truck"

"cool! SETH! come on out here and look at this women's truck."

Bella heart dropped, when she heard the name seth but it stopped beating when she saw exactly who it was. Standing in the door way of the lobby was 17 year old seth clearwater, the first youngest of the pack to phase before Collin and brady. He had helped guard her during the new born fight and wound up breaking his arm in two places. Leah had screamed her head at bella when it happened. She blamed her for Jacobs broken bones and her brothers. She remembered those words being hurled at her like knives, it took sam to alpha order her in order to stop it all.

Seth pov:

Seth mouth dropped open, Bella swan was standing in his jobs lobby. He was shocked to see her, last he heard she had left forks without telling anyone and hadn't returned but he was shocked to find her here in new york but he didn't blame her. HE was in the same boat, leaving home and not being found.

"Bella! Wow , its been a while!"

"you know her?" his boss asked "yeah, we go way back! Here lets look at that motor cycle!" seth said excitedly as he stepped outside with a quiet Bella following after him.

" I bet your shocked to see me. I don't blame you, the feelings mutual. But its great to see you! Especially in a big city like new York"

"what are you doing here Seth? Not that I'm not gl ad to see you but you're the last person I expected to see!"

"hey, no worries how about this, meet me at central park under the statue of the horse and ill tell you everything and don't worry I wont tell anyone you're here. I gotta get back to work ya know. "

"uh ok, how about 6:30"

"cool, see you then Bella, and don't worry ill take care of you bike. Ill let you know how much later."

Seth returned to the garage with the bike. Getting different tools out, his mind drifted. She looked different but good different. She looked healthy. Like shed been eating and the bags under her eyes didn't look as heavy. She smelled good too, pure, like vanilla and cinnamon. No one had touched her and by no one he meant a man. No man had touched her, she was purely pure. He shook his head, stupid wolf senses. While he phased once a month, the curses and blessings didn't go away. He had to focus, checking the bike he got to work.
