Chapter 4

Summer

Dancing with Seth was the most amazing thing. I never danced under the stars before, and I really liked it. Seth was the most gentleman like man I'd ever met. After dancing for a while he took my hand and led me back to the party. I looked around at all the people that would become my new family, and become part of my new life.

"Hey, Come on I want to introduce you to my friends." Seth said gently.

I walked behind him as he led me toward the large group of muscular boys. If I hadn't known my brother or met Seth I would have been intimidated by them. The boys looked up from their conversation as we arrived.

They all gave me warm smiles and waved. I shyly smiled and waved at them.

"This is Brady, Collin, Embry, Quil, Jake, Sam, Jared and you know Paul." Seth said.

"Nice meeting all of you. I'm Sleighton." I said weakly.

They all just smiled at me and nodded their heads in approval. I sat next to Seth listening to the boys conversation, I enjoyed hearing Seth's airy laugh every time someone said something that was humorous.

Suddenly, I felt my chest tightening up, and my breathing began becoming constricted. I began coughing loudly, unable to stop myself. I realized that this morning I forgot to take my asthma medication. This could not end well.

I saw as the commotion around me began to liven. People were screaming and talking too fast for me to catch what they were saying. I heard one voice in particular over all the others, "You can't die, not now you have to much to live for. " the voice said, "Paul, what's wrong with her?" The voice said again.

I felt my insides start to losen up a little as the vile tasting medicine took over my senses. I coughed once more as I started to regain some consciousness. Seth and Paul's worried faces seemed to clear up as I got up on my own and the rest of the party resumed as before the sudden burst of commotion. I walked as gracefully as I could to the food table picking up a bottle of water, and chugging it.

In my cases asthma attacks were very rare happening to me, I never had them, because I always took my medicine. The move took a toll on me I guess. I don't want another repeat of that happening again.

I turned around, to find Seth standing dangerously close to me. "Hi" I croaked out nervously.

"Hi. I'm sorry." he said softly.

"For what exactly?" I asked confused.

"You know your incident, If I hadn't had made you dance for-" I cut him off

"It's not your fault I just forgot to take my medicine." I said to him walking a little ahead of him.

"I know but still-"

"Stop, it was not your fault." I said sternly

When the Bon Fire was over my father and I rode home in his old truck. My dad seemed to be getting back into his old routine. My dad worked for a company back in California that was part of the music industry. Even with his condition he still loved his job, and kept at it. He wanted me to go to private schools all my life, and was very persistant on the subject. My mother had attended a school called The Seattle Academy. My dad had enrolled me in there for the next term. The travel from La Push to Seattle ever day was pretty long, but the busses that were there would take 2 hours tops. I mean I would have to get up really early but if I got to be educated where my mother was taught it was worth it. The school was for "wealthy" students and my dad was wealthy enough for the school to allow me in. My grades in all subjects were exceptional; I was even reading at a College level, which was apparently very impressive.

Seth's facial expression when I told him I wouldn't be attending La Push High. When I explained the significance of the school to him, he understood. Seth had promised that we would still be close friends even with out us going to the same school. Plus we had this whole summer to hang out and get to know each other. Believe me I was looking forward to this summer.

Thanks for the Reviews .WOLF!
