Amy's POV
Seth wasn't angry with me, not for flinching, not for not telling him, not blaming me. He comforted me the rest of the afternoon, until my dad came home. He looked suspicious at Seth but I defended him. "Dad, I told him what happened last year. He understands now. He didn't do anything wrong, so stop blaming him!"
"Okay, okay." My dad muttered. He and Emma made dinner and the four of us ate in silence. Seth left shortly after and I went to bed. Emma stayed with me until I fell asleep.
The next week went by quickly. I spent my days at La Push with Seth. But he was running patrol more often now, since the vampire alarm last week and also this week had the vampire tried to come back. Again he got away. So I just hung out a lot with the others too. They knew what had happened to me last year since werewolves can't keep secrets from each other but they didn't talk about it. Leah just said that if I needed a talk, she was ready to listen.
And since this week, there was one thing changing from our old routine, Emma came along with me and hung out with us, and mostly Embry. She thought the books were awesome and wanted to know everything about the legends, the wolves, the vampires, and the persons. I must say: I thought she's coping very well with all of this.
When Em and I arrived at Seth's place the next day, he came running to me with the biggest smile on his face. "You'll never guess what we just heard."
"Then why should we try?" Emma joked.
"The Cullens come visiting next week."
"What?" I asked shocked. "They're coming?"
Seth nodded and explained. "Yes, you know Jacob is still a member of our pack so in our thoughts we're still connected with him. And he knows you're back here, same age as 10 years ago, and Nessie's been whining to see you again. So all the Cullens and Jacob are coming here in a few days. They're now in Denali, Alaska, visiting Tanya and her family."
"Cool." I smiled. "It's gonna be great to see them again." Maybe I could even challenge Jasper for a game of chess. I laughed at myself, yeah well like I would ever be able to win from him.
"Yeah, I know. It's been way too long since we saw them. Billy's already nervous to see Jake again after all this time." Seth reacted enthusiastically.
Seth and I went on talking about the Cullens, while Emma didn't say a word. She even saw paler with the minute. When Seth went back inside to help Sue with something, I asked her what's bothering her.
"Are they dangerous?" She asked me.
"What?"
"The Cullens, are they dangerous?"
"Hell no! They were the first to help me when I was stuck in the past. They made sure I was alright all the time. Especially Esme, she's so caring and sweet, it's almost unimaginable that she's a blood-sucking demon instead of an angel."
"But they are vampires, right?"
"Em, you've read the books. What do you think?" I asked sarcastically.
"That I'm not quite ready ready to meet my first vampire?"
"They're veggies. You'll be just fine. And in case something might happen, Embry wouldn't let them hurt you one bit. I thought you would know that by now."
"I do. But I'm still nervous to meet them."
"I know the feeling, sis." I smiled and hugged her. "So talking about Embry," I continued after our hug. "How are things going between you guys?" I teased her.
"Why you wanna know?" She blushed.
"Just curious. It took me like 4 weeks to realize I was in love with Seth. I'm curious if you're gonna be faster or not."
"He's a nice guy, really nice actually." She mumbled.
"I knew it!" I laughed and she slapped my arm.
"Nothing happened, you know."
"Yet!"
She sighed. "I don't know if he's really interested in me that way."
"What? How could he not be? He fucking imprinted on you!"
"I don't know. It's just like he doesn't want to touch me or hug me or stuff like that."
"He just doesn't wanna push you, I think."
"So I have to take the first step?" She asked unsure.
"I was the first to tell Seth I loved him. He repeated it immediately after me, but I had to say it first. The wolf leaves you the choice weather you want to be with him or not. Which means you'll have to make him clear how you feel. But they're still boys. Means they don't get the subtle hints. If you want him that way, you'll just have to tell him directly." We laughed together at that last sentence.
"So how are you and Seth?"
"He understands I'm not ready to take it to the next step. I'm lucky he's so patient with me." I sighed and looked a little sad at my shoes.
"You want him, don't cha?"
"So much, Em. But I just can't. Every time he touches me, the memories come back. They're so vivid. I hope one day I'll get over it, and I hope it's soon. Because I really want to touch him and him to touch me. I want to show him my love in every way, but I'm not ready for that, and it's so frustrating!"
"Time heals all wounds, right?"
"I hope so." I sighed and Emma pulled me into a hug.
A/N: Please, leave a review. The next chapter will be up soon and so will the Cullens! ;-) At first I wasn't sure if I would let the Cullens return in this story, but a reader convinced me to do so. So thank you Britney10210! Ciao x
