Hey! From now on I am going to try to post Truth and Finding Me every Sunday!
Obviously, I did not post this on Sunday, but I will in the future.
We will see if two stories will work out for me, because you know how AMAZINGLY popular I am I just can not keep up. Haha. Just kidding, but it might be a little hard to do, and I know you all are bugging me for more posts, so I will try my hardest.
BUT, right now let us continue with Truth!!
Chapter 11- Strike!
"Mae! Wake up!" I heard a familiar voice saying. Hadn't I just been dreaming about him…?
"Hmm!" I responded.
I felt the covers thrown away. Oh shit! Just then I remembered that had only worn boy short underwear and a bra to bed!
Immediately, I sat up, and tried to cover myself with my hands. Seth slapped his hands to his eyes and spun around.
"S-sorry" he slurred. Oh god this was so embarrassing! This was my first day here and already it was embarrassing!
"Its fine" I laughed. By then I had gotten the sheets from off the floor, and put them back on top of me. He just kept standing there.
"Seth, honey, I don't rightly know how amusing standing in the corner of my room is, but I was thinking maybe you should leave while I get changed." I said.
He started to turn around but then stopped.
"It's okay to turn around now" I said.
He turned around, smiled at me, said sorry again, and kissed my cheek before he left.
That was different. I had been up until midnight unpacking my things, and I was not expecting anyone to wake me up.
The pack had thought it was a good idea to rent an apartment closer to where they live.
And, Seth thought it was a great idea if he just happens to be in the same apartment as my family. So, yeah, Seth lives with me now. As was demonstrated earlier, this was a little awkward.
I put on some flannel pajama pants, and a tee shirt, and went to sit on the couch next to Seth.
Immediately, he lifted his arm around my shoulder, and I cuddled into his arm. I noticed we were watching SpongeBob.
I turned to face him, and gave him a questioning look.
"What?" he asked
"SpongeBob…?" I said questioningly.
He laughed. "I really didn't pay attention to what I turned on." He said and laughed again. "So, what would you prefer to watch?" He asked.
"Well, first, can you tell me why you wanted to wake me up this morning." I asked and gave him my puppy dog face.
He sighed. "You are way to good at that." He sighed again. "I woke you up because you were screaming my name," he said as I blushed. "And you sounded terrified."
"What?" I was diffidently confused.
"You were saying things like, "Seth, no!" and "Help" and a lot of other things. I was really worried, so I woke you up and…well you know the rest."
I blushed. "Yeah, sorry about that."
He laughed. "I really wasn't expecting that" he said, and then got more serious. "So, do you remember anything about this dream?"
Oh man. All I remember about it was that Seth was there, and I didn't want to say that after our little embarrassing encounter, but I had to. "All I remember is that you were there." I said, looked down and blushed.
I felt his hand lift up my head. "Aww, come on that's not embarrassing. I'm sure everybody that meets me dreams about me every night for the rest of their lives." He said, sure of himself. He was so full of himself, but I liked it.
"Sure they do." I said sarcastically. I was still blushing.
He leaned a little away from me. "You know, you are being rather annoying this morning."
I gave him a shocked look. "And, care to explain how I am annoying." I said.
"Well, first of all you are denying the truth; that I am just so good-looking, and that everyone dreams about me. Secondly, although it is partly my fault for not objecting; you put your clothes back on. "he said with a smile.
"Oh my god! I can not believe you just said that!" I yelled, disgusted, even thought I knew he was being sarcastic. I slapped his forearm with force, and my palm started to sting real badly.
He was cracking up with a howling laugh that must have been heard down the street.
"Hey! That is not funny!" I tried to yell over him.
I just sat there and let his laugh fest wear off. Eventually he started wheezing, and I noticed there were tears running down his face. I could not understand what was so gosh dang funny.
When he calmed down, he started to give me a rundown of the day's activities. Ever since we found out that I could be in trouble, Seth, Esme and Jasper, who were basically the "Keep Mae Safe Committee", suggested that I be put under some sort of house arrest until this was over. Seth, being the awesome boyfriend that he is, suggested that I should at least be able to have fun if I was going to die. He is now committed to being with me at all times while the other werewolves and vampires keep watch also.
Today, Seth decided that we were going to go to the old bowling alley in Forks. My cast is off, and all I have now is a splint, so I can bowl. But, Seth, of course won't let me drive.
We were the only ones in the bowling alley (go figure). Seth payed for the shoes and bowling balls, even though I brought my own money. He is such a pushover.
"You are so going down Mae!" he said loudly, swinging a bowling ball back and forth, preparing to roll it down the lane.
"What are you waiting for Seth? Are you nervous?" I asked, making sure to give the words and innocent and provocative tang.
He looked over at me. I was twirling my hair around one finger, and biting my lower lip, just to drive him crazy. As I expected, his jaw dropped open, and he let go of the bowling ball.
What I did not expect was the fact that when he dropped it, he was swinging it over his head.
It all happened real slowly, like a badly edited ninja movie. The second he dropped the bowling ball, he realized what had happened. He looked up, and the bowling ball fell right on his face, with a very audible crunch. That's about when I started screaming.
I just couldn't stop. The poor old lady that worked at the front counter came running over too. She just stood there looking confused and scared, until she eventually ran away.
I faintly heard the bell that rang when the door opened, and all of a sudden Jasper was at my side.
"What happened!?" he yelled. Seth was unconscious on the floor, and I was screaming my brains out, so I don't know who he was talking to.
Jasper sighed, and rolled his eyes a little. Immediately after that I felt a wave of calm, and my screams just kind of…died out.
I took a deep breath and responded. "He...he was sw-swing the ball over his he-head and he dropped it on his fa-face." I answered shakily.
He nodded, and lifted the bowling ball from Seth's face like it was a feather, and threw it down the lane haphazardly. I think some of the pins broke.
When I saw Seth's face, it was a bloody mess. I felt a scream building, and I started making that weird squeaking noise you always make before you scream, but then I felt the wave of calm again.
"Thanks" I breathed.
Jasper nodded again, and pulled out his cell phone. He was talking really fast, so all I heard was the first word "Carlisle".
"Is he going to be okay?" I asked when he hung up, still a little shaky.
"He has had way worse, I am one hundred percent positive he will be fine in a few hours." He answered.
This made me very confused. "Hours?" I questioned.
"Yes, werewolves heal about 50 times as fast as a human would. Since Seth has been attacked by a couple newborn vampires, I am sure he can handle a bowling ball." He said and smiled at me. "Are you going to be okay?" he asked, worried.
I nodded, mostly because I wasn't sure my voice would come out okay.
Jasper looked down at Seth's bloody unconscious face, and then back at me again. He let out a shaky breath, not as shaky as mine, but I am sure it was still uncommon for vampires.
Then Jasper did something that totally surprised me. He wrapped his arms around me, and hugged me. He actually hugged me. Jasper, the vampire with the blood problem, hugged me, the girl whose blood was super appealing to him. Wow.
"Thanks for helping me, Mae." He said when he pulled back. I could tell he wasn't breathing, and he looked just a little uncomfortable. "Seth will be fine." He said, and gave me a wry smile.
Just then, Carlisle walked in, making the annoying bell ring again. Carlisle knelt down beside Seth. "He seems to be doing okay." He said, examining his still unconscious face. "It looks like it healed some already." He added, wiping Seth's face off with a towel from the bag he brought.
Sure enough, there were some deep cuts that were already fading. If my boyfriend wasn't lying on the floor of a bowling alley unconscious with an injury that should have him in the ICU by now, I would have said "AWESOME!" This whole super werewolf healing was so cool!
We brought Seth back to the Cullen house so that Carlisle could work on him. He would be waking up soon, and he would probably be in extreme pain if he didn't have pain killers.
I sat down stairs with Jasper waiting anxiously. Eventually, I fell asleep on the corner of the couch.
0o0o0o0
I woke with a jerk when I felt something cold touch my arm.
I looked up to see Jasper sitting close to me on the couch. It looked like he was just staring at me, and it was kind of creepy.
"Umm… Hello." I said, rubbing my eyes and yawning.
"Hi." He answered. He just kept on staring at me. I looked into his eyes. They were a topaz-gold color; it was pretty cool. But, that still didn't excuse the fact that he was staring at me.
"What are you doing?" I asked, trying to sound genuinely curious, instead of rude.
"Nothing." He responded quickly, and leaned away.
I heard a creak on the stairs. I looked up to see Seth standing there, completely healed. I was beyond words. I just squealed, and ran up the stairs to attack him.
I threw myself into him with all the force I could muster, but he still didn't fall or anything. I figured it was safe to kiss him, so that's what I did. I kissed him with everything I had, and to my joy, he kissed me back.
"I am so glad you are okay!" I yelled.
"Me too!" he yelled back, and hugged me tighter, and kissed me again.
"I love you, Seth." I whispered in his ear.
"I love you more then anything." He whispered back
"WOOO!" we hear cheering coming from the living room. I looked down the stairs and saw Jasper, Jake and Emmett making kissy faces and cheering.
Seth rolled his eyes and kissed me again. I, of course was blushing like crazy, but I could care less right now. I had been scared half to death.
All of a sudden, everything stopped. The yelling, cheering and kissing just stopped. I was so confused. Seth put me down.
"What is it?" he asked Jasper.
"I don't know" he said straining to listen harder. "I think its Edward and Bella" he continued. I guessed there was some kind of noise that I couldn't hear.
"Oh SHIT!" Emmett yelled, and ran at completely inhuman speed, followed by Jasper, Jake, and Seth, leaving me confused, scared and alone.
