Jake pulled into the drive way of Sam's house. He cut the engine and got out of the car. Seth left the passenger's seat and the two boys began walking towards the house. I sat still in the back seat, staring at the headrest in front of me. Why had Emmett looked at me as if I was, literally, a piece of meat? Is he cannibal or something? And what was with pixie girl? She sounded too freakishly sure I would be back. The only good, non-creepy thing that happened today is that Edward Cullen seems normal. I no longer think he has a stick up his ass, that's for sure.
Someone knocked on the window and I jumped. I looked out and saw Seth. I slowly unbuckled my seatbelt and climbed out of Jake's car. "Is everything okay?" Seth asked as I leaned on the car door. "Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" I lied. He narrowed his eyes at me. "I know something's wrong," he stated hoarsely. I bit my lip and inwardly cursed him out. "I don't have to tell you the truth," I snapped. He took a step closer to me. "I want you to, though." I rolled my eyes and started walking into the house. Unfortunately, Seth had no problem catching up with me. "Hey," he tugged on my arm, "I just want-""Can you drop it? Please?" I said in an irritated voice. The hurt in his eyes was evident and made me feel a little guilty, but I can only take so much pestering.
I quickened my pace on my way in the house, leaving Seth on the porch. The living room was dead silent and full of people. I cleared my throat and inwardly cringed at the awkwardness. "Jake, can you take me home?" He scratched the back of his head, "You couldn't have asked sooner? I mean I would have driven you straight home from the Cullens." I saw Bella perk up. "You met the Cullens?" She squealed, earning a glare from nearly everyone in the room. "Um," I coughed, "Yeah." Jake sighed like a drama queen, "Let's go."
"Bye, Charlotte," everyone said in unison. I smiled a little, "Bye, guys." Jake led the way out back to his car. I stood by the passenger waiting for him to unlock my door. "Charlotte!" I turned around to find Seth running towards me. Before I could say anything, he smashed his lips against mine. I was so shocked I didn't know how to react at first. Gradually my arms slid around his neck and I kissed back. I pulled away from Seth when I heard cheering. I looked over at the front porch and saw all the guys and Bella hooting and hollering. I buried my face in Seth's chest out of embarrassment. I felt his laugh vibrate through his chest.
"Are you ready to go or do you want to continue eating each other's faces off," Jake teased. "I really should get going," I sighed. "Don't go," Seth pulled me closer to him. I wiggled away from him and he frowned. "I gotta go. I'll see you around," I said before getting into Jake's car. I waved to everyone as Jake pulled away from the house and drove down the deserted road. "Why do you do that to him?" Jake asked randomly. "What do mean?" I gazed out the window watching tree after tree pass by. "You make Seth thinks he stands a chance and then you brush him off," he said harshly. I looked over and noticed how tightly clenched his hands were around the steering wheel.
"Jake, I like him, a lot. It's just I move around all the time and I have a feeling I'll be moving soon." Jake drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, "And why is that?" I took a deep breath and shook my head. "You're probably going to think it's stupid but my mom she heard wolves today and they scare her." "What about you?" I bit my lip and tried to hold back the memories. "They scare me, too." "Why?" I looked out the window and the blurry images caused my head to hurt. "It's personal."
