But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
You belong with me- Taylor Swift
Seth's POV
"Yes, well this is Alex she's our new neighbour, Alex this is Seth," I looked up and as soon as my eyes met her beautiful hazel ones the world shifted, suddenly nothing else mattered to me, I didn't care that I had to look after my mum, or my sister. I didn't care that I had to protect La Push; all I knew was that I had to protect her, to be with her, to help her, she was the only person that mattered to me anymore and I would do anything to be with her I soon realised that I had been staring at her for a while, "h-h-hi" I managed to choke out, "hey," she replied, her voice was like the most beautiful song in itself, I could listen to it all day for the rest of my life, I noticed the guys looking between me and Alex, realising what had just happened between us. "Come on Seth why don't you help me out with getting the drinks from the basement?" My mum asked me, I knew that she was trying to get me away from my angel and I was reluctant to go, "now," she ordered me, I sighed but smiled one last time at Alex before slowing following my mum. I could hear the guys talking to her about where she had come from and I growled, I wanted to be the one to find out all her secrets. My mum turned around and noticed the look that was on my face she then grabbed my arm and dragged me down the wooden steps, flicking on the light switch as she went. "Seth," she began while turning round to me, "you know we have to talk about this." "Yes, but now? While she's here? Ever heard of the phrase, only one chance to make a first impression?" She looked at me with sad eyes, "Seth, honey, I know and I'm sorry about this but you just imprinted!" She grinned at me before pulling me into a huge hug. She pulled back to look at me and frowned at my face, "what's wrong?" She asked, "I'm just confused I thought you would have given me a huge lecture on how it's a big responsibility and I have to act all mature now," "well it is a huge responsibility Seth! Don't you feel it? The need to protect her?" I thought about it for a moment, well I was actually itching to go back outside to make sure she was safe and happy, I looked at my mum and soon realization seemed to hit her, "come on, grab some of these bottles and you can offer her a drink." I smiled and raced up the stairs to where the only girl in the world was.
Alex POV
After I talked to the boys a bit I decided to sit on one of the wooden tables with a girl with short black hair and russet skin, she looked like Sue and Seth a bit, maybe she was Leah? "Hey," I said quietly as I sat down opposite her, she me up and down before replying, "Hi." I didn't really know what to say to her and I was about to get up and play with Claire because awkward silence was like some sort of phobia for me, but then she smiled at me, "I like your hoody." I beamed at her, "Thank you! It's one of my favourites! You could borrow it sometime if you like!" Then I burst into a conversation about my favourite clothes to wear and which ones she could borrow but then Seth came and sat next to me. I turned and smiled at him, he had to be related to Leah, the resemblance was obvious, "hey," he spoke a bit breathlessly, almost nervous. "Hi. Again," He smiled at me before I turned back to Leah, "so do you want to borrow a hoody?" I noticed Seth glaring at her from the corner of my eye, "well, I'd love to but I don't think they'd fit me." I then noticed that Leah was very tall, nearly as tall as the buff guys, "how old are you?" I asked her, "twenty one." She was six years older than me, I had just turned fifteen the month before, "how old are you?" This question came from Seth, "Fifteen, you?" His eyes lightened up when I answered him-was it something I said?-"Same," He grinned at me. "Food!" Sue called out and all the boys and Leah sprinted into the door. Sue looked towards us and smiled before turning towards the kitchen, "You coming?" Seth asked me and motioned with his head towards the back door, "Sure."
When we got in the kitchen I grabbed my plate and some food before walking into the living room where everybody else was. The Clearwater living room has a sense of cosiness as soon as you walked in, there were random couches set about the room and along the sides of the room were odd picture frames, books and small ornaments, in the middle of the room was a wooden coffee table that held most of the guests food, and under the coffee table on the floor was a red patterned rug that looked like it had been handmade. But what gave this living a warm and homely feel to it was the big stone fireplace that held picture frames on each side and a small plant in the middle, somebody had put the SpongeBob Square pants movie on the small T.V in the corner and Claire was sat on Quil's with a big toothy grin on her face and Quil had one too, but what creeped me out was that he was looking at Claire. "Do you want to sit here?" Seth pointed to a small spot on the couch, next to Jared who was sat with Kim on his knee, "Sure," I agreed and sat down next to them, only then did I realise the small space Seth had to squeeze in to, "errrr," I looked between the space and Seth, "maybe I should sit on the floor," I started to get off the couch, "no, no! I will don't worry about it." He began to sit on the floor, "no, you shouldn't have to, I will," "no! You're the guest, I will." I was about to protest when Jared cut in, "oh for god's sake just sit on his knee!" I looked towards Seth and shrugged, and he raised his eyebrow before slowing making his way to the couch and sitting down, then I sat on his lap. I thought it would have been really awkward but we seemed to fit perfectly together, he placed his food on the arm of the chair and I placed mine on my lap.
The rest of the evening mainly consisted of me sat on Seth's lap and commenting on how much they ate, (seriously, they ate like wolves!) except from Seth who didn't move to get some food but I wondered whether that was because I was on his lap, I couldn't blame him, I was really comfortable there, Seth was hot! Not like that sort of hot though, he was literally boiling! I had to take my hoody off after about half an hour sat with him. My Mum walked in when we were all playing a game of charades, "come on Alex, it's time to go," I looked at my phone and noticed how late it really was, it was 11:30pm. I stood up and walked over to my mum, it almost sounded like Seth whimpered when I left his lap, I turned round to face the rest of them, "bye guys," I waved, and they responded with different types of goodbyes, Seth stood up and slowly walked towards me, "Bye Alex," he said quietly, his hair hung over his brown eyes slightly making him look even cuter, if that's even possible, "bye Seth," we both broke into huge grins, and when Seth reached out to hug me, I almost broke my jaw with smiling so much. We both said goodbye again before I walked out the door of the Clearwater household.
Thank you to my first reviewer christy86! A box of cookies and Seth is on its way! XD
