And now, we get to the climactic drama. This should last for a while, and will definitely make things interesting.

If you're still continuing to read this, thank you so much for being patient. I know, I suck for never updating anymore ):

I heard a gasp from Kat, and looked down to see her eyes lock with those of the angered guy at the door.

Her eyes began to tear as she tried to get out the only word she could in a strained whisper. "Caden?"

Scrap Metal

Seth's POV

I could feel the anger quaking through my entire body. This was the asshole who had broken Kat down, and there he was, standing in the doorway like he had been invited.

"Who the hell are you?" Sam wasted no time with greetings.

"I'm the love of Kat's life. My name's Caden." He said with a smirk as he stuck his hand out for Sam to shake. Sam just glared like he wanted to rip that hand off.

"You are not even remotely close to that." Kat had finally found her voice, and it was one of pure hatred.

"Oh come on now, baby. You know you miss me." Caden started in on her, moving closer with every word. I immediately moved to stand in front of her where she could still be seen. Caden found this amusing. "Who's this? Your new victim? Is he aware of how easy you are yet, Katrina? How you'll hang on every wo—"

"Do not speak to her like that." I growled in his face. "I don't care who you used to be to her, you're nothing now."

He laughed and smiled again, "Oh am I really? You hear that, baby? He thinks I'm nothing. Why don't you go ahead and tell these people here how much you really need me. How pathetic you really are."

I went to lunge for him, my entire body shaking, when Sam suddenly screamed "ENOUGH!"

I fell back and looked to Kat, tears streaming down her cheeks, and a look of fear on her face.

Immediately, I felt ashamed. I didn't want her to see me like this. I didn't want her to have to live in fear of my jealousy.

She held my gaze for a short moment, basically telling me we would talk about this later. "Caden," She growled, "You need to leave. Now."

"Kat," He mimicked, "I'm not leaving until you talk to me."

Collin finally spoke up, "She doesn't have to talk to you, you ignorant pri—"

Kat pushed her hand up in front of his face. "Fine. Let's go."

She grabbed her shoes from the spot next to the door, and I grabbed her hand in protest. "Kat, don't. You don't have to."

She sighed, "Yes I do, Seth. I'll be back soon. I promise."

She walked past her angry brother and out the door after Caden, and looked over her shoulder one last time at me. Like it was the last time she ever planned on seeing me.

My heart sank into my stomach, and my fist went through the wall.

Kat's POV

My head was spinning as I followed Caden through Sam's front yard and changed direction to my own car. He looked back, realizing I wasn't going in his, and rolled his eyes in annoyance. "I'm driving." I said angrily.

He opened his mouth to protest, but rethought his move and complied, placing himself in my passenger seat.

I drove about three miles up the road before either of us spoke. "Why are you here, Caden? What do you want from me?"

He turned to face me, staring me down as I concentrated on the road. "I'm here because you left. I think it's time you came back home. The truth is, I miss you. I'm sorry for the way I acted. I know I didn't treat you well, I know I was a total jerk, I just –"

"Save it." I cut him off abruptly. "There is no way in hell you mean any of that. Apologies don't mean anything from you, Caden. If you were sorry, you wouldn't have done any of this in the first place. You are the only thing I have ever come to regret in my life, and I am done putting myself through your bullshit."

He was speechless for a moment. He knew I had figured his game out. "Kat, please. You know I love you."

I laughed at his poor attempt to try and pull me back, "Oh, you love me, huh? I'm sorry, Caden, I don't speak bullshit. Give it up already. I have you figured out. I know how your little game works, and I'm not falling for it anymore. You only want me because you know I keep coming back for more. Well, that's all over now. Find another girl to mindfuck."

His temper finally broke through. "I don't know who you think you are talking to me like that, but you better hold your tongue, little girl."

I laughed again, provoking him even more. "Or what, exactly? What are you going to do about it?"

Without a second thought, he brought his hands to my throat. I fought back as hard as I could, forgetting I needed to be in control of the car, and using my hands to punch him everywhere I could reach. He realized all too late that we were about to make a head on collision with the nearest oak tree. My tiny car slammed straight into the trunk with more force than I thought possible, and the searing pain was there for only a few seconds, until everything went black.

Seth's POV

I didn't know what to think. One second, she was finally starting to accept what was going on between us, and the next she was gone. Stolen away by some jerk who didn't even deserve her.

I was pacing around Sam's living room, trying to get everything off my mind, when Nessie burst through the front door in a panic. "Seth, it's Kat. She wrecked her car. We were driving by and we saw it and everything was mangled and –"

I ran past her and through the door, morphing into my sandy colored alter ego as I went, not even caring that I had been wearing my good jeans, and let my instincts take me to her.

When I arrived, Jake was there, holding her limp body that he had dragged out of the mess of scrap metal. I changed back, and grabbed the shorts tied around my ankle as quickly as possible.

"I just called Carlisle. He's bringing Edward to help. We'll take her back to the house and she can stay there to heal." He explained to me.

I nodded solemnly, "What about the other one?"

He looked up at me, with barely any remorse, "Dead on impact."
