Thanks for all the reviews, I'm really glad you guys liked it but the dance scene isn't coming up just yet after all there's only been five chapters so there's going to be a long wait for that…..And MANY cliffhangers.
Chapter 6: Rollercoaster Pt. 1
Tessa's POV
My mom wants to come in, nut I just can't talk to anyone right now. I haven't slept since that horrible night because all I've been doing is crying. Whenever I try to sleep all I see is Seth kissing her. I know I should talk to someone, but, I feel like a crazy person going to a shrink for help even though the help is needed. The one person I do wanna talk to right now is Roberto, but he left last week, all I can do is call or video chat.
Then my train of thought is interrupted by a familiar voice I've been longing to hear but didn't wanna hear.
"Tess, it's me, please open up, please. I'm not gonna take no for an answer." Oh my gosh, it's Seth, why is he here, it's not like I don't wanna see him, but I'm supposed to be mad at him. So why am I happy he's here? Oh gosh Tess, make up your mind, you either want him or you don't….but there's no way I can't want him, he's my everything.
I carefully get up from my bed and walk to the door. When I open it Seth's face is immediately struck with pain. Good, he must see my probably permanently puffy red eyes and tear stricken face. I can't help but want to comfort him though, even though I'm the one who should be comforted. I look at Seth now, like, really look at him, and he starts to cry. I gently wipe the tears away from his face.
"Tess," he says In between whimpers, "I'm so sorry. Please, you have to take me back. I can't…..I can't be without you. Just please, don't let me go, please." I start crying myself. My mom left us alone at this time. Then he gets down on both knees and wraps his arms around my waist. Then I hugged his head against my torso.
"Please talk to me Tess, say something. I have to hear your voice." He says still crying. "If you don't want me I'll understand, but I'd have to hear you say it. Just say the words and I'm out of your life. I just want you to be happy again. If it takes me not being here then that's what'll happen." Hearing his apology made me want to hide under a rock for putting him through all this.
"I don't want you to go Seth I'm happy with you here." I said. Then I started to laugh, "Only a guy who actually did like his girlfriend could come up with an apology like that." Then he got up off his knees.
"I'm a guy who more than likes his girlfriend…..Tess I love you. You are my shining star. You shine brighter than a thousand suns put together to me. No one can compare to you and if anyone tells you otherwise I bet the President of the United States would give permission to punch them out without charging you of assault." When he said that, I smiled wider than I ever have before.
"I love you too Se….." was all I got to say before he started kissing me. At first it was eager and aggressive, but then it was tender and soft. Then it was just a peck. He stopped and looked at me and we both smiled. I guess we're back together.
A happily ever after…or so I thought.
2 weeks later
"See you at seven?" I asked Seth.
"Yes you will." He answered. Seth and I just came back from the most amazing date ever. Ok it was a pretty ordinary date we went and had lunch at McDonald's, but with Seth everything seems better. Seth told me there was something he wanted to talk to me about; he said it was important and that he didn't want me to freak out when he told. I hope he doesn't have a hairy back. (Yes I know what you're thinking, we've been dating almost 2 months and I still haven't seen him shirtless. I don't know I wanna see that anyway, I might faint.)
I tried to kill time I was pretty anxious to hear what he had to say. My mom wasn't home, which I wasn't expecting, but she did leave a note.
Cher Tess,
Joshua m'a appelé de dernière minute ET demandé si je voulais aller au cinéma, je veux dire que je ne pourrais pas le refuser. Ainsi le dîner est dans le four et je suis sûr que Seth va être excédent plus tard ainsi je lui ai fait un plat aussi. Cela me rappelle, je doit te parler quand je deviens à la maison.
Amour, Maman.
Dear Tess,
Joshua called me last minute and asked if I wanted to go to the movies, I mean I couldn't refuse him. So dinner is in the oven and I'm sure Seth is going to be over later so I made him a plate too. That reminds me, I need to talk to you when I get home.
Love, Mom.
Great, call me jealous, but this is getting annoying, why won't he just marry her already. Anyway it was 6:00 so I had to kill an hour. I cleaned my already clean bathroom and ate a sandwich so that I'd have to wash the plate. Then I made sure all the can labels in the cabinet faced forward. While I was cleaning the counter I heard a knock on the door. I looked up at the clock and saw that it was 7:15. Yes time's up; mission accomplished. I ran to the door. Of course it was Seth.
"Hey." I said.
"Sorry I'm late." He said.
"Don't worry, it's only 15 minutes." I said. He smiled back at me. Then his face got all serious.
"Tess we gotta talk and for what I'm about to tell you, I think you should take a seat." I was suddenly wary, but I went and sat like he said.
"Tessa, I need you to listen to everything I have to say to you. Please don't judge me right away, but, if you were in my seat right now you'd understand why I was scared to tell you." I nodded for him to continue. "Remember before we started dating and you came to my house for our project. And you thought I was acting weird." I nodded. "Well, I kind of changed. Um, have you ever heard the Quileute legends about how we descended from wolves?"
"Yes." I said. My voice was a little shaky.
"Well um, certain people in our tribe have the wolf gene in them….and I'm one of them." I gave him a confused look. "What I'm trying to tell you is that, I'm… I'm a wolf." I sat there in shock as his words sunk in. I started to shake my head.
"Seth that's not possible, if you're a wolf then I must be a witch. What are you gonna tell me now, vamps are real too." I was being sarcastic about the vampire part, but he suddenly looked nervous when I said that. "Wait, are you serious?"
"Tess, I couldn't be any more serious with you than I'm being now." It took me a minute to realize that I had begun to hyperventilate. Seth was worried now. "Tessa, breath, calm down. Look at me and try to breathe." I did as he said. My breathing calmed down but I was still in shock. Seth went and got me some water. I took a swig and put the bottle down.
"If you're a… but why are you out at night? And why can you eat with my mom's silver forks. Wait a minute, why can you eat food? You're supposed to eat people." He started laughing. "What are you laughing about?"
"Hollywood's version of wolves isn't very right. If you promise not to scream or stop breathing I'd like to explain everything to you." He said.
"Okay, I promise." After that I listened to what he had to say.
2 Hours Later
"Well, that's a lot to take in, but I'm willing to make it work if you are." I said.
"When it comes to you I always want to make it work." He said. I just found out that Paul, Jared, Embry, Jacob, Sam, Seth, Quil, and Leah are wolves. I also learned they never get cold because their bodies run well over 105 degrees. They have healing abilities and they can hear each others thoughts, only when they're wolves though. They don't age until they learn to stop changing. The creepiest of all the things he told me today, is that vampires exist. Just then Seth looked up at me. He opened his mouth to say something but then he closed it. He looked hesitant.
"There's one more thing I have to tell you, but please, please, please, don't get angry with me." I was suddenly furious even though he hadn't said anything yet.
"Tessa I imprinted on you. It's another one of those freaky wolf things but it's a lot more powerful and permanent I guess." What the hell was he talking about?
"What is that?" I was totally confused.
"When we imprint on someone, it's like your whole world stops, nothing matters, only her. It's like gravity I guess. Sam said when he imprinted on Emily it was like gravity wasn't holding him here, she was. To imprint, you have to see her, not a picture, you have to see her face to face. When I imprinted on you, I guess you could call it love at first sight. I just… I dunno… I just felt like I had to protect you, from everything. At that moment I promised I wouldn't even let a feather fall on your head. I fell in love with you." I felt anger, shock, happiness, and sadness wash over me all at once.
"You mean to tell me," I whispered, "that the only reason you tell me you love me is because you imprinted on me." Now I was yelling and crying. "If it weren't for some freaky voodoo crap you would still be passing me by in the hallway in school, or not caring if we had a project together and laughing when Sara would embarrass me in front of everyone." Seth reached out to grab my hand and I pulled away, "No Seth, you don't really love me, you don't."
"No Tess, I do." Now he was crying.
"Yeah, because you're under some kind of spell. Get out Seth, go home and tell someone else your sob story because I don't wanna hear it" He didn't argue with me, he just nodded and got up, but not before I saw the extreme pain in his eyes. Right now I really didn't care.
Loved it, hated it. Let me know.
