"Star," Mary gasped loudly. Seth and I pulled away to see that Paul, Embry and Mary were staring at us in the doorway. Paul and Embry's expressions were of joy and acceptance while Mary's was full of anger. I looked to Seth with a scared expression. I was scared for his safety. I didn't know what Mary would do. He looked like he would die to protect me. He moved so that I was behind him. I hid behind him to not see Mary's glare and hide my blush.
"Finally," I heard Paul mutter, and that just increased my blush.
"Star, come with me," Mary commanded. I started to get up, but Seth pulled me down.
"You can talk to both of us," he stated. "It wasn't just her fault for me kissing her, so if you wouldn't mind, I want to be in this conversation also."
"Seth, you really don't," I whispered. I started getting up again, and I walked over to Mary. She grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the house.
"What the hell were you doing, Star," she questioned when we were outside in the cold night air. "We are supposed to confide with each other, and I find that you are making out with the guy that we agreed that you were going to stay away from?"
"I didn't know that he was going to be at Paul's house, but I should have since Seth is basically family, just like anyone else that is friends with Paul and Rachel. Don't blame this on Seth, Mary, it was my whole fault."
"I don't care who kissed who first," she yelled. "You both shouldn't have done it in the first place."
"Mary, stop yelling at Star," Paul warned when he stepped outside, Seth behind him.
"And you," she screamed. "Who were you for inviting Seth over?"
"That is none of your business and this is my house. I can do whatever the hell I want," he growled. His body started to shake.
"Paul, not here," Seth warned. Embry came running around to help Paul also.
"What's going on here," I heard Rachel question as she came over to us. I didn't even think that she was going to be home until later.
"We're just having a talk, Rachel," I supplied, staring at my sister.
"Liar," Paul stated. "Mary's been yelling at you for the kiss that Seth and you have shared." Rachel walked over to Paul and kissed him. His shaking immediately stopped.
"Don't," Rachel whispered, staring into his eyes. He looked down.
"Star, get packed," Mary stated after a couple of moments of silence. I stared at her.
"Why," I questioned.
"Because you are going to come live with Emily, Sam and I," she stated.
"But why," I questioned as I walked over to her. She turned to stare at me.
"Because we made a deal that if we would decide on something, that it was going to stay that way," Mary reminded me.
"But we never really agreed about Seth," I stated. "You just started planning without me having imputes at all. How is that fair for agreeing with each other.
"You remember that pact we had after we left that retched orphanage," she stated. "We haven't broken it once until now."
"Because I never found anything out of proportions until now," I sighed with frustration.
"I'm just trying to protect you, Star," she whispered. "And I don't see Seth as the best guy out there for you."
"You don't see any guy for the best out there for you, and yet you've gone with countless of guys, and look what's happened, Mary. We remember the past! They only wanted you for sex, just like I warned you each time, but somebody thought that I was overreacting," I yelled. "The only one that I've seen that doesn't want to go into your pants is Embry!"
"You think that you've done better with Seth," she questioned. "Do you?"
"I honestly do," I replied. "I've never gone with a guy before like you have in the past. Seth is the only guy that I have liked, and you don't like that fact because now I'm growing up, and you can't protect me from everything. You feel like you can't speed up with me because I have saved you and rescued you countless of times. I even helped you pay for your leg before we went on our excursion to find the right kind of family to stay with.
"And now I've finally found a guy that I like and want to know more about, and you're making me stay away from him. You have Embry with you. Why can't I have Seth to be with me? What's wrong with that, Mary?" I took a step closer to her to be in her face. She backed away, but I just followed with every step. "Why can't I be finally happy, and not just sit in the background like I always do!" Then nothing prepared me for what happened next.
