Okay I know it has been a while since I have updated this story but I have started working on a new story. But here is this chapter and I know you guys are wondering about Bella and Seth just read and you'll find out.


After a few seconds our lips separated and we stared at each. What did I just do? I said I was going to comfort him, not this way.

"I'm sorry, that was uncalled for. This really isn't the best timing either. I just didn't know what I was doing-"he kept babbling as he got up and started to walk away.

"Seth wait," he stopped and stared I carefully got up "Hey, we kissed each other and yes I like you but you're like my brother, we shouldn't have done that you're right, but it happened. Let's just move on," that was the nicest way I could put it. The kiss itself wasn't bad but he was two years younger and I didn't need a boyfriend especially someone who was practically brothers with my best friend that just passed away.

'The Only Exception' came on and Seth sat back on the ground. What was I to do? Did Seth, like me like that? The last thing I want to do is make his day worse, but the last thing I'm going to do is lead him on. "Seth, you okay?"

"No, but I will be. I'm not upset with you I'm just, I've been Acting weird before Jack died at least that is what Leah thinks. My mom doesn't notice she's been drinking ever since dad died and now Jake she feels she is losing everyone she loves and she thinks I'm next, I tell that I will stay out of trouble but she is never sober enough to listen. My life just seems to be getting harder and harder and it's moving faster too. I want to everything pause, just long enough so that I can take a breath, you know what I mean?"

"Yeah, that is what most people realize when they turn fourteen or fifteen, life starts to speed up faster than you would have ever imagine, and yeah we all wish that we can slow it down but we can't and we wish that we don't lose the people who mean the most to us but we do and we will just have to find a way to deal with that. All we can do is take it one step at a time. You will never know what will happen next, and you will never know how you will react or how you will be able to cope with it, if you can, but one thing you can always rely on is your friends and family being there for you every step of the way. As for your mom, find her some help someone who will make her listen." I felt as I was saying all this that I should follow my own advice.

"Thanks a lot Bella. I know I have been acting like such a whiner and I apologize," he hugged me and all I could say 'you're my best friend'.

We sat and talked while we listened to the radio and for the first time in the past week I didn't feel like crying, I felt bad, but I knew I would get better in time. Though this moment wouldn't last long, my up and a lot of my downs will make me stronger.


So I know that was short but if I kept going this would end up being a long chapter. My next chapter is going to be long for those who like to read uber much look out for my next chapter next month.
