Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twilight…sadly…
"No way," I whispered, looking on the computer at my Facebook page. Gianna was posting stuff about me that I'd rather not say. Seth looked over my shoulder from my chair by my bed. He had been reading a book for a report. He looked, not having to move closer to see it, and started shaking slightly. It was more like trembling. I knew he was getting angry. He had informed me of everything there was to know about werewolves when I had gotten curious.
He walked over to me and took an even closer look at my page. I knew talking to her like that would give me social issues. But then, I just couldn't resist. The way she was looking at Seth and the fact that she was even looking at him at all, had made me both angry and jealous. I sighed, my dirty blonde hair falling into my eyes. He pushed it out of my way.
"Do not believe a word she says," he ordered me, wiping away a tear that I didn't realize had fallen, "They're lies, Liz, she's just trying to get to you. To annoy you and make you angry and upset as much as she can."
I nodded, clicked the tiny "x" at the top right corner of my computer screen, and sat down next to my Seth with a book of my own. We read for another hour before we went downstairs so I could make dinner, finding my Dad on the couch. I glared at him slightly and he flinched.
I had not totally forgiven him. I was a grudge-holder with a temper. Not a good combination. I made my way to the kitchen and made enough chicken and rice for over ten people and gave almost the whole thing to Seth. Dad was used to him practically eating the whole house. I made extra for when Ashley and Mom got home.
When we finished, Seth helped me wash the dishes—him washing and me drying. After all the dished were washed and put away, I grabbed my hoodie and we went—in the rain—to First Beach.
When we got there, we saw Embry and Lexii walking on the beach, holding hands. I motioned for Seth to be quiet as we followed them in the trees. When we got close enough, I jumped out and screamed. They both jumped and Lexii shrieked, scared to death. I laughed so hard, clutching my sides and leaning into Seth for support. He was laughing as well.
Embry glared at Seth—unable to be mad at me—while Lexii was trying to slow her heartbeat. I pouted at Embry and batted my eyelashes.
"Aww. You're not mad at me, are you Embry?" His glare softened when I spoke in my sad, innocent voice. He looked over at me.
"No, no. I'm not mad," he said, trying to comfort me. I think he was afraid I was going to cry or something. Lexii tried to keep from laughing at how much he was a sucker for me and my innocent act.
I smiled sweetly at him and said, "Okay. Thank you, Embry." He nodded and hugged me. Meanwhile, Seth and Lexii looked like they'd explode with laughter but held it in because they didn't want to ruin my little act. Seth tilted my head up so he could look in my eyes and I gave him the same smile I just gave Embry. But then I came back down to Earth (Oops! Just gave away where I live! :D) and hugged Lexii.
"What's up?" I asked her, pulling away from our "hello-hug".
She shrugged and said, "Just…um…talking to Embry." She ducked her head and I chuckled.
"Really? I didn't notice," I replied sarcastically, smirking. Seth chuckled along with me and we left them alone with a quick goodbye, turning in the other direction. They look so cute together. Embry better tell her soon, though. I don't like keeping secrets from Lex. We walked by the water and I felt the sand coming in between my toes after I took my socks and shoes off. Occasionally, the water came higher than usual and soaked my feet with freezing water. I gasped every time.
"Help!" I shrieked as Seth threw me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Paul and Jared just laughed, eating their hotdogs. (No pun intended) Jake was the only one nice enough to try to help. It didn't really work out well when Embry had called for a human tug-of-war. Seth growled and let me go, glaring at Embry. I grinned and put my hand to his chest, instantly calming him.
We were at Sam and Emily's and eating dinner. Well, at least Emily, Kim, Claire, Lexii, Rachel, Nessie and I were. The wolves were inhaling it. Embry had told Lexii about the whole wolf thing a few days ago and she's taking it pretty well. Of course, she was surprised that I was in on it but wasn't mad at me that I kept it from her. She understood.
I ate silently which made everyone concerned. Usually I never ate much and talked the whole time. After staring at me for about ten minutes, Seth abruptly got up, went to the fridge, and pulled out some apple juice. I looked toward him eagerly when he pulled out a cup from the cabinet. I was bouncing in my seat and everybody could see it.
A few people chuckled as I gulped it down and demanded a refill. He always knew what I needed. About five minutes later, I was bouncing off the walls and they were regretting giving it to me in the first place and not enjoying the peace and quiet while they could.
After talking non-stop for about 20 minutes, I refused to sit down and Seth decided that I was over-tired and took me home.
Sorry for the shortness of the chapter but I had to put something out there.
