Thank-you Tinkerbell-Lover-Ms-Write-It, my amazing beta


My body joisted upright, as the scream left my lungs. Sweat covered my body, tears streaming down my face. Loud footsteps made their way toward my door. I fell back onto my bed panting; sometimes I would also awake with a shortness of breath, which I really never understood why? I heard the door swing open and Seth was beside my bed in second. First off why was Seth at my house this late and second of all why was he in my room? Seth sat on my bed, looking over me like he was looking for injuries. Seth opened his mouth to say something.

"I had another nightmare, its okay" I lazily said. I was exhausted; the lack of sleep was really getting to me. Seth ran one of his hands through his hair while he used the other to grab mine. The silence was peaceful. Seth got up and went to the door; he was going to leave me?

"Wait, Seth" Seth turned and looked at me. I could already feel myself blush, how you ask a guy to stay with you whilst you sleep without it sounding somewhat sexual.

"Courtney, I wish I could help you. But I don't how too and it's killing me" Seth mumbled, his voice quivering as he looked down into my eyes. Was he about to cry?

"Stay with me, than" Seth eyes widen, the response I didn't want. I sat on my bed and waited for a response from him. Seth closed my door and walked towards my bed, his eyes piercing mine. I moved over to give him room; he was going to need a lot of it too. He stopped when he reached my bed.

"Courtney, are you sure?" Seth whispered. I wanted comfort, I needed comfort. I nodded my head. I hope that Quil doesn't decide to check in me, that wouldn't go down to well. Seth slowly climbed into my bed. I turned my head, resting it on the crook of his smouldering neck

"I just want comfort, you are the closest thing I have to it Seth, please don't go" I said breaking the silence. I felt Seth's lips touch the top of my head lightly, closing my eyes I allowed myself to fall asleep in the comforting warmth of his arms

To say I was confused would be the biggest understatement of the year, after I fell asleep next to Seth. I had the weirdest and happiest dream ever. Seth and I were getting married; everyone in the pack was there. I was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress and Seth looked so handsome. I woke up as we were about to say our 'I do'. Seth's snoring, was really starting to piss me off. It had waked me up from one of the best dreams I have ever had in my short lived life, and that was not an overstatement. I shoved Seth to wake him up, but nothing, he didn't even budge

"Seth, wake up" I called in his ear, nothing. I turned and checked the time 10:30 on a Saturday morning. I had things to do, people to see. I shoved him a couple more times but nothing. He's lips looked so kissable... Damn, snap out of it Courtney!

"Oh my god, vampire!" I screeched in his ear. I sat up as he jumped straight out of bed, looking everywhere. I couldn't help but laugh at him, at his expression; the fright the determination, the worry. He stopped and turned to face me, he was pissed. Maybe I went a bit over the top, but what are you suppose to do? He body was lightly shaking as he continued to glare at me.

"Courtney, do you how serious I thought you were? It's not something to joke about, so stop laughing" Seth walked up to me until our knees were touching. He towered over me, even if I stood up. He is still so massive. I put my hand over my mouth to stop myself from laughing, serious Seth was so cute, the way his forehead scrunched up, the way his lips looked... As I said before, kissable.

"Seth, you should have seen you face, it was the funniest thing" I smiled at him. I saw a smirk appear on his face. Seth lent forward and pinned me on the bed. My breath started to speed up, having him this close, was intoxicating. His smell filled my nose, musk and wood. Seth leaned down to my neck and placed a soft, chaste kiss; he paused and hovered over my skin. My skin felt like it was on fire, the sensation from the kiss was unbelievable. I felt like electricity was shooting through my body, I was in pure bliss. Seth brought his face back to mine; our noses were skimming each other. He started moving towards my lips. I closed my eyes waiting for his lips to meet mine. But when I heard the door open and a gasp that snapped me from my trance I freaked out, looking up.

"Courtney Louise Ateara!" I heard my Aunty scream, a look of shock and horror on her wretched features. Seth quickly got off me; I couldn't move to even face her. I felt like I was on fire. I had never felt this embarrassed as I stood here, lost for words. I was also disappointed that I had just missed out on kissing Seth, the guy I have wanted to kiss since I was in the first grade. My Auntie's feet stomped towards me until she was blocking my view of the roof.

"Margret, it's not what it looks like" Seth said walking towards as his hands up like he was surrendering. He seemed calm, how can he be calm? He just got caught on top of me by my custody wanting, bitch of an Aunt, if you can even call the cow that. She turned to look at him. I stood up. She looked over me, it properly wasn't making the situation any better, that I was only wear a big v neck t-shirt and an extremely short pair of shorts.

"You were on top of my niece. Tell me how it was then, Mr Clearwater" She yelled again her hands going to her hips. I heard many sets on footsteps make their way towards my bedroom, great everyone going to get involved. Quil, Jacob, Embry, Paul made their way into my room, their eyes scanning everyone, wanting to know what's going on.

"What's going on?" Quil asked taking a seat on my bed. Seth and I looked at each other, neither of us wanting to say anything. My Aunt cleared her throat.

"I walked in to find Seth on top of your sister, about to kiss her" My Aunt snarled. I felt Seth's arm go out in front of me, I wanted to punch her fucking head in, what a stupid fucking bitch. Quil stood up and walked over to face Seth. I was yet to say anything; it was my time to speak up, before everything went the wrong way.

"He wouldn't wake up, so I yelled out that there was a v... bad man trying to get in the house. So he flew out of bed and was looking around and everything, he looked really worried. I started laughing and pinned me to the bed and nothing happened" I wasn't going to say vampire in front of my Aunt and I wasn't going to mention the kiss on the neck to Quil, my overly protective brother. That would make everything worse than it already was.

"Why was he in your bed in the first place?" Quil yelled. I flinched; I hated it when Quil yelled at me. So he wasn't at my house last night?

"I had a nightmare and he turned up, I asked if he could stay because I was scared" I replied looking away from everyone, I don't know why but I felt like crying and I didn't even have my period.

"Seth, what the fuck were you doing here?" My brother yelled in Seth's face. Seth didn't seem fazed that Quil was looking close to losing it. Me on the other hand, I was freaking out. I was extremely worried and scared that Quil would so angry that he would phase in my room. My Aunt might have a heart attack, I wouldn't mind if she did though.

"I was on patrol and I heard screaming, so I came over to see if she was okay and she asked me to stay" Seth growled back at him. Seth was digging a deeper hole for himself. My brother had gone from just screaming to shaking like hell. Jacob, Embry and Paul started to move toward my brother.

"You should really leave" Embry yelled to my Aunt who looked terrified. She made run for it and left the house. Paul put himself between the shaking boys. Embry and Jacob made their way towards me. I can't help but let a couple tears slide, I have no idea why, but I was feeling really emotional. Quil was trying to push Paul out of the way so he could get his hands on Seth who was trying to do the same thing. Jacob was trying to reason with them, but since he hadn't taken his place alpha he didn't really have any control of the boys. Embry was standing right in front of me with his back to me, most likely trying to protect me.

"I don't want you near my fucking sister again!" Quil let out a scary as hell growl. I was even starting to shake I had never see my brother or any of the boys so angry before right now, and to be quiet frank, it scared the hell out of me. They tried to keep their cool, in front of us humans. I wanted Seth to be around; I need him I felt so drawn to him.

"You can't stop me, I have to be near her" Seth yelled shaking harder than before. I put my hand over my mouth, I was in pure shock. My stomach was doing flips; I felt like I was going to throw up. I was dreading what might happen.

"You won't be when she rejects you, you little shit" Quil growled pushing Jacob and Paul out of the way and diving onto Seth, his fist smacking into Seth nose. I screamed out for them to stop but nothing happen, they didn't stop. Paul and Jacob were trying to remove my brother from Seth. I yelled at them to stop, but they were too involved in trying to kill each. Embry was pushing me back as I tried to get to them, it probably seemed crazy but I had to get them to stop. Embry turned around, a frustrated look upon his face and pushed me hard enough that I fell on the floor hard, my head hitting the floor. Seth was now on top of my brother punching him and shaking violently as his only focus was to kill my brother as I ignored the throbbing in my head.

"Courtney, go and get Sam, before I kill them" Jacob yelled at me and I was hesitant for a mere second, but I run outside and all the way to Sam's. I busted through the door, the rest of the pack turned around alarmed, maybe because it was because I was in my pyjamas. Sam got up and walked towards me, I couldn't speak, I was puffing so much, as I held my hand to my head.

"Seth…. And… Quil…. My ….. House" I managed to say. I seriously need to get into shape. Everyone got up and run out the door, I followed but this time I jogged. Instead of going into my house, everyone ran into the woods. That only meant one thing that they had phased.

This time, instead of walking home I allowed my feet to take me to the cliffs as I looked up at the cloudy dark grey sky. I could feel the tears streaming down my face, but this time I didn't even care. I didn't care I was in my pyjamas, I didn't care that the rain started to pour harshly down on me. The only thing I did care about was Seth and throbbing of my head as I clutched it. I wanted to scream, I wanted to shout, but most of all I wanted to cry. I felt so helpless and so alone.

As I brought my hand down to my face, my mouth opened in a small gasp, blood. My head was bleeding, and my heart was beating. I wanted my mum and dad to be with me, and I wanted my aunt to stop pestering me. But most of all I wanted Seth, I wanted to feel his arms around mine, to feel his lips against my own, but I wanted to tell him how much I loved him. He deserved that much, what Quil said before... As I continued to think, I felt my breathing hitch, my heart race as I my knees found their way to my chest, my arms wrapping around them as I kept gasping for the air that I needed, it felt like my lungs weren't getting enough air, my skin was on fire, not even the rain helping, nor was the wind.
