Yeah it's been ages and I actually am sorry. It sounds pathetic, I know.

Last chapter we had misunderstandings everywhere, my web page has heaps of stuff to do with Surfing Is The Life so go there! Its wwwDOTsomethinginblueDOTwebsDOTcom.

I hope this chapter is good. There are a few things here that you probably didn't see coming.

I love it when the sun is that orange-pinky colour and how it reflects off the water and the sand as if you are wearing orange-pinky lenses. It makes Hawaii look so cool. But now I'm dripping wet, not looking so cool with the sweet gash I have up my arm from the evil reef at Bears.

I didn't notice it in the water but when we paddled in and it wasn't a bit numb from the icy water, the blood really started to flow.

It's not usually cold at this time of night but this last week it's been cold. Like rain and cold winds everyday. According to the weather man in should ease up tomorrow and my long forgotten friend Mr. sun will come out with all the heat of a supernova.

I got to our surf mobile, a present last Saturday from jenny and Dave- the coolest parents ever- to me, jasper and Rosalie, and rose was there with a beach towel and one of jaspers t-shirts. Rose ran ahead as soon as I noticed the gash and insisted I get it cleaned up. It didn't hurt at all and it probably looked worse than it was.

"Drop your board. Come sit on the hood." Rosalie commanded, not really liking the sight of this much blood.

I ditched my board in the sand and plonked myself on the bonnet. "Relax rose, I'm fine, it doesn't even hurt."

"Oh, let me see, let me see!" jasper ran up the beach to see the wound in all its glory. "Nice one bells, almost beats dads." He laughed and went around to the boot to get dry.

"What happened to Dave?" I asked rose while she stated mopping up the blood at my wrist.

She shrugged, "shark attack on tour once. Broke his ribs and crunched his hip. I can still see the bones sticking out of his chest… urrghh." She shivered.

I winced a little as she wiped around one end of the cut. "Wasn't he on tour?"

"Yeah, the one day that he took us out on the filming boat, sucks."

I just nodded, I'd ask Dave about it later.

"Shit bells, you did a good job." Rose said, sort of worried when she finally revealed the extent of the cut.

On my left arm it ran from that weird Nobby bone in my wrist all the way up to my shoulder, twisting around so that it ended sort of on my tricep. The deepest part was easy to find, it was right on my forearm and wasn't neat at all.

Now I could see it, it started to hurt a little.

"Rose, are you wearing my shirt?" I saw jaspers head pop up from the boot.

Rose didn't take her eyes from my arm and just held the blood soaked top up for a second so he would recognize it. He sighed loudly and walked to the front seat. "Fine. Bella, I'm wearing your hoddie."

"Yeah whatever." I said as my arm started to sting real bad.

Rose ripped jaspers top and wrapped it roughly around the worst part of my injury and ruffled my hair. "You'll be fine, sis."

I rolled my eyes, "I already said I would be fine." hopping off the bonnet I picked up my board, chucking it in the back on top of jaspers. I noticed that one of my fins were cracked, I gave it a little wobble and it snapped in my hand.

I shrugged and threw the piece of fin through the car at japers head. It was a good throw too.

"Ouch! Far out Bella! That was sharp."

I laughed, "sorry."

"Oh, Alice sent you a message."

I was at the front door so fast that jasper didn't have time to retaliate as I grabbed my phone out of his hands.

"Jasper, you do NOT read my messages." I said very seriously. "And I take that sorry back."

"Aw come on, I only read one." He wined.

Rosalie laughed form somewhere along the beach. It was pretty dark now and I couldn't make out her silhouette against the water, "and so 'conveniently' he read Alice's."

"Just because you are in love with Emmett, doesn't mean I like Alice." Jasper defended.

"I don't like Emmett." Rose almost growled.

I ignored them while I looked through my messages, making sure there was nothing he could have read that he shouldn't of before checking my unread ones.

One from Alice, one from Dave and one from… Jacob?

Jacob? Why the hell would Jacob be texting me?

Since the… well the brain damage incident, I have avoided him as much as possible, and he wouldn't dare agitate me in fear that he wont escape so lucky.

I read Alice's first;

hey bella

no school again?

God! We're missing you guys, its been like 2 weeks.

Wanna catch up tomorrow?

Tomorrows Saturday, incase you've confused your days.

xx alice

I laughed as I read it, you gotta love Alice.

Shit, it's been 2 weeks? Didn't seem that long. I feel sorry for the Cullens, having to go to school all the time, must suck.

Hey little pixie'

2 weeks? Sorry, we'll make it one day next week.

Tomorrows good, come over in the morning and we'll go out for another lesson.

Yeah, thanks. I knew today was Saturday

Bella

I sent it off and just as I was opening Dave's message I felt my phone vibrate again.

Todays Friday, bella.

I laughed again, I swear I meant to type Friday.

I opened up Dave's and it said to meet him at the Blacks place for dinner. Apparently we are invited for dinner. I groaned loud.

"Arrrgghh!" no wonder there's a text from Jacob. Jacob bloody black.

"What's up?" rose asked, looking over my shoulder. Clearly she sorted out her quarrel with jasper. I gave her the phone and plonked myself roughly in the sand at her feet.

"A whole night trying to deal with him!" I groaned. "I mean, I don't wanna put him in hospital, I really don't but…"

Apparently something I said was funny. Rose collapsed in a fit of laughter in the sand next to me and her face was going bright red. "You… you, oh hahaha! You…"

"Spit it out." I said, still not happy about going to the blacks tonight. Her fit eased up and she managed to choke out what she was trying to say.

"You… you were so serious when you said that!"

"Said what?"

"That you don't want him in hospital." She laughed again, the laugh that is silent because you can't get enough air in.

"I was serious."

"Okay, sorry… but your face!" she pointed and laughed.

I still didn't get what was funny.

Jasper stared at us from a few meters away, clearly freaked out by his sisters laughing fit, but didn't say anything.

Instead he just looked at me, hoping there was some explanation for rose.

I just shrugged, "we're going to the blacks for dinner."

"Woohooo! I can't wait to see Seth! He was telling me about his new skateboard and its got like 10 wheels or something! Come on, come on let's go, now!" he ran to the front seat, grabbing random towels and clothes of ours off the sand and chucked them in the backseat.

Of course he wouldn't know about Jake and me. I'm pretty sure Jake never told anyone the truth about that night. And I needed something up my sleeve as a hidden weapon in case I ever needed revenge.

But then again, we would be seeing Seth. Seth is jakes younger brother. He's the complete opposite of his older brother; sometimes I forget they are even related. He is the cutest kid in Hawaii. Like hot cute. And oh my god! The amount of time me and Rosalie have spent just drooling over him…

Well it's pretty gross for rose, but Seth is my age so it's appropriate for me to like him. Well I don't like him.

Okay, maybe I do.

Just a little.

We were in our surf mobile and driving to the Blacks place. I volunteered to sit with the boards in the back while rose and jasper had the stereo blaring in the front. I almost forgot to read jakes message, I was sidetracked by the ocean view. The sun was almost completely swallowed up by the horizon.

I took my phone out and opened the inbox.

Hey gorgeous

Having dinner at mine tonight, so I hear.

Wanna stay over?

It will be fun.

Why did that message just sound so disgustingly sleazy? Sounded like he was going to rape me? He is so gross!

I shuddered and continued to stare out the window.

***

Okay, so I managed to completely avoid looking at Jake the whole night. Rose kept me closely guarded in case I needed back up.

It went pretty quick. We had all the blacks and us just sitting around outside the back of their house, eating pizza and drinking coke. But I was a little disappointed to find that Jacob's right-hand men were there too.

And the worst part? Seth was out.

I was hoping he would come home late so I could still see him. As much as I hated to admit it, I sort of liked him.

Rose, jasper and I managed to sneak off subtly to the side of the house to chill without being in the presence of Jake and the rest of the wankas. Once we were completely sure that everyone couldn't hear us or see us, I let out a sigh.

"Geez, its not that bad." Jasper almost laughed.

I just shook my head, "yeah, it is."

Jasper looked confused but didn't comment.

I shared a glance with rose and almost blew our cover with a bark of laughter. Jasper just looked between us, weirded out.

But I did notice the headlights pull up out the front of the Blacks house. And I definitely recognized the voice saying farewells while the car drove off again.

I jumped up and ran out the front, straight towards the dark shadow of Seth.

"Seth!" I squealed as I jumped on him, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

"Hey bells!" he exclaimed, obviously a little surprised I was here but not at all upset.

I jumped off him and stepped back, "I thought you weren't going to come."

"I didn't know you would still be here." He breathed. It was quiet as we stared at each other.

Unconsciously, I took a step towards him.

"I thought you weren't going to be back till late." I said, sort of locked in a trance.

He laughed, "it is late, 12:00 o'clock, late."

"You call 12:00 o'clock late? How young are you?"

"Only as young as you."

I think it was about now that we both just hesitated, we knew what should follow, but we also knew that people were watching.

People like my brother, so-to-speak, who thinks I still play with Barbie dolls.

As jasper would, he interrupted the moment. "Sethy boy!"

"Jasmine!" Seth called back, stepping forward to meet him.

They exchanged that man shake/hug thing and then were talking like mad about skateboards and stuff.

Rosalie walked up to me while I followed the boys back to the house from a distance.

"So. Not. Fair."

"So… wow." I said.

Rose looked genuinely annoyed, "I wanted the cute one! Why do you always get the cute guys?"

"Who are you counting as cute?"

She rolled her eyes, "Seth, obviously, umm…"

"Nothings happened yet!" I exclaimed to her. She just shrugged.

"I'll try and give you some alone time tonight… anyway, so Seth, that Johnny kid that left, Edward, Dylan or Reece, whichever, probably both…"

"Edward? Where the hell did that come from?"

Rose pretended to think, "Um, from the way he looks at you, or visa versa."

Okay okay, she sorta hit a soft spot. I mean I wouldn't go as far to say that I like Edward… but then when I try to tell myself I don't… well then I feel like I do. But I don't. But maybe I do. No, no definitely not.

…Maybe just a smidge.

***

"So where did you go before?"

"Just a bonfire on the beach, not to special."

So maybe Rosalie was right, maybe… okay I give in, she was always right. She got us some alone time by dragging jasper into the house while we stayed in the night's air. He had his arm around me and we were kissing sweetly. Pecking each other when we had noting to say and talking small talk so that we didn't feel completely guilty about being out here and just making out. I was resting my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. It's such a cliché thing to do but when you're lying on someone, their heartbeat is pretty dominant.

"Well," Seth sighed into the night, "I may as well get this over with."

"What?" get what over with?

He leaned back to look into my eyes, "will you go out with me, Bella?"

I laughed. And then I felt bad for laughing after looking at his face. I kissed him lightly again.

"Its obviously a yes." I said, kissing him again, deepening it this time round.

"Why laugh?" he mumbled into my lips.

I pulled away reluctantly and sighed, "I wasn't going to make you actually say it. I mean, we aren't in primary school." I laughed.

He shook his head firmly, "you gotta do these things right Bella. I wouldn't have felt official if we just assumed. Because you would be like, yeah I think its on, but maybe he doesn't, but maybe he thinks its on, and maybe I don't and maybe…"

"I get your point."

I smothered his lips before he could say anything else.

We were around the side of the house so that we were hidden from windows but we heard the massive crash as the back door slammed open.

Muted, aggressive voices were arguing about something. Seth was about to say something but I motioned for him to be quiet while I strained to hear what they were saying.

They obviously didn't know we were out here.

The first thing I noticed was that the muted voices belonged to Billy, Jacob and surprisingly, Dave.

"But she can't know!" I heard Jacob hiss. Now that I was concentrating, I could hear what was being said.

Who's she?

"But we can't hide it, ill never be able to act normal." That was Dave.

"She would never…"

"Maybe we should let her find out." I heard Billy speak for the first time.

Dave seemed to be thinking hard, "No that would make it worse."

"Well then what do you want do, Dave?"

"I don't know, Jen is already going crazy, that's why she didn't come tonight." Jen? As in jenny? What's happened so much that she worried? Is jenny okay?

Jacob burst out a type of growl, "why didn't you just tell Bella in the first place?"

It was quiet. I didn't believe this was over me, and I felt it was my time to step in.

I untangled myself from Seth and walked out so they could see me. I was met by three surprised faces.

"Tell me what?"

***

You can't say you saw that Seth thing coming!

But its okay its okay, this isn't seth/bella. Edward will come soon (:

Review please.
