First off I'd like to thank you all so much for your reviews I was really excited to read them, that's what's making me post again so soon. That means keep it up! lol hope you like.

"Good, well there's no point in walking back. We have to meet at Sam's together tomorrow anyways; I'll call him and tell him we'll be over early. Seth I want you sleeping with me, Jake and Selena you can shares Seth's bed, agreed?" She asked.

All three of us nodded and responded with a yes ma'am, before making our ways to our designated areas. Jake walked into Seth's room leaving the both of us in the hallway together.

I practically leaped on Seth. He held me close to him and I sobbed, "I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble."

"Selena it was my fault, you can't blame yourself for everything that happens, but I do have some things I'd like to discuss with you later." He finished seriously.

I looked up at him wondering what that was about and he wiped the tears away from my face, "You're too beautiful when you're face is lit up to cry as much as you do."

I smiled, "I'm sorry."

He chuckled, "Would you please stop apologizing?" He asked.

"I'm sor-"I laughed, "I mean I'll try."

He wrapped his arm around my lower waist pulling me closer to him. I laid my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat for a moment.

"I'm really scared about Sam. I mean he's cool and all, but you know how he can be with his temper."

I started sobbing again, I didn't know this time whether it was fear or the lack of sleep getting to me, probably both, "He's going to murder us, isn't he? We're so dead."

"You're being overdramatic he won't hurt us." Seth said, but when I looked up at him he didn't look nearly as sure as he sounded.

I whimpered and buried my face back in his shirt, taking in his scent which reassured me just a little that we would make it through this together. Or we would die trying; at least we'd still be together.

"Goodbye." We heard Leah say, and we scrambled away from each other. We both smoothed out our clothes just as she was coming around the corner.

We stared at her for a second uneasily. I turned back to Seth and could feel myself blushing, "Well… I… uh… I'll see you tomorrow."

He laughed awkwardly and waved, "Yeah… see you tomorrow."

I smiled as I slinked backwards into Seth's room and shut the door. But I quickly reopened it, "Oh, I forgot, goodnight Leah."

She tried to glare at me but was unsuccessful so she smiled instead, "Goodnight Selena."

I smiled and shut the door once again. Jake motioned me to come lay with him. I joined him in the bed and snuggled up against his chest. His warmth soothed me. He wrapped the blanket around me and folded his arm over my side.

I quickly fell asleep.

"Selena come on, get up." Jake called patting my shoulder.

He yanked the blanket off of me and I froze.

"Five more minutes!" I whined pulling the pillow up over my head.

"I want you ready to leave in five minutes." He argued.

"Whatever, go away!" I yelled irritably.

"You better be up, I'll sick Leah on your butt." He warned.

I whimpered, but as soon as he shut the door I drifted back off to sleep.

I woke up as stinging pains were searing through my butt.

"Ow!" I whined quickly rolling away from the attacker. Jake had made good on his threat, it was Leah.

"Get up now or there'll be more where that came from." She warned.

I fought back the urge to growl at her, and instead I let out a moan as I got out of the bed.

She followed me the whole way outside, "Don't even think about giving me an attitude today, my lack of sleep because of you two had made me angrier than normal."

I ignored her and accepted Seth's outstretched arm which he wrapped around my shoulder lovingly, and wrapped my arm around his waist.

He kissed my forehead and we started walking to Sam's. It was still pretty dark out, but light enough however to see the blue in the sky. I was guessing it was about six or seven in the morning.

The little nap we got did nothing for me; all it did was make me as angry as Leah is. If one person would have said something about my hair or anything even that small, I would have snapped at them.

But everyone remained quiet as we walked down. When we got there and Sam opened the door I felt my heart leap. He let us in quietly and we made our way to the living room.

Leah and Jake sat on the couch, and Emily was making breakfast. Seth held my hand and squeezed it encouragingly.

Sam stood in front of us with his feet spread apart and his arms crossed, "Well would you like to tell me what this is all about?" He asked.

We looked at Leah, "I figured I'd let you guys tell him yourself."

"Thanks a lot." I muttered.

Sam quickly reprimanded me, "This is not the time Selena, remember your place."

I looked down. Seth opened his mouth to speak but I could tell he was nervous so I figured I'd just get it out of the way.

There was no reason to delay it since I knew it would happen anyways, might as well get it over with, "Seth and I almost had sex, we would have if Jake didn't walk in and stop us."

Seth squeezed my hand painfully tight now. "Ow." I gasped, "What was that for?"

"Way to be subtle." He muttered.

I looked up at Sam and his expression went from shocked, to disappointment, to anger in a matter of seconds. Emily dropped one of the pans and stared at us.

"Um let me help you." Leah said quickly exiting the room.

"I think I'm going to go get some air." Jake said practically sprinting out of the house.

I wish we would have had an excuse to leave. We both backed up away from him fearfully.

He turned around and we could tell he was thinking, and it was best that we stayed quiet.

He backhanded what I realized was one of my textbooks off the counter. It slammed on the floor with a loud thud.

Seth and I both flinched. "W-we're sorry." Seth said.

"Oh you're sorry huh? You're sorry?" He said mockingly, "You two haven't even seen sorry. Come here!"

We both cringed but obeyed the order. Slowly we made our way to him. He took another step and got in our faces.

"So I should just forgive you without any punishment is that what you're saying?" He asked.

Seth shook his head, "No sir."

"What about you what do you think Selly?" Sam asked.

My anger that was building up flared up inside of me, "I think we were already punished so this is none of your damn business." I said smartly.

He turned around smiling angrily but only for a second before he whirled back and backhanded me across my face. I almost fell but he caught my arm, even before Seth could, and pulled me up to face him.

I could feel the tears that came to my eyes instantly, "Don't you ever talk to me like that do you understand me?" He asked.

I remained quiet, all the anger I was feeling quickly turned to guilt and remorse, Sam always tried to be so nice to me and I treated him like shit.

"I-I'm s-so sorry Sammy!" I cried.

"Well I'm afraid that's not enough this time." He said standing me up by Seth.

I tried to bury my face in his arm and hide but his body was completely rigid. I backed up and started sobbing harder.

Grow up, you have to take care of yourself, you got yourself in this mess now stop acting like a sobbing little brat just because you got slapped.

I wiped my eyes and quickly pulled myself together. When I looked at Seth I could tell he was expecting the same thing that just happened to me but it didn't come.

"Now let me think about a good enough punishment for something like this." Sam said.

Seth's shoulders relaxed just a little and I was relieved when he held his hand out to me. I took it gratefully and this time it was soft.

"A spanking doesn't seem like enough, and I'm pretty positive you both already received that." He said looking at us for confirmation.

We both looked away ashamed.

"From Jake I suppose since he caught you?" He asked.

We both looked at each other and could tell we were blushing deeply with embarrassment before looking away again.

"I'll take that as a yes, and Leah with her big mouth probably lectured you for at least an hour." He said knowingly.

We smiled when Leah flipped him off.

"You want to join them in punishment?" He asked.

She shook her head, "No way."

"Can we still walk home together?" I asked meekly but with his werewolf senses he still heard me.

"Selena!" Seth chastised.

I shuffled my feet uneasily, "I'm sorry."

Seth shook his head at me and I could tell he was losing his patience; the lack of sleep must have affected him too.

Sam took a minute before responding, "You two will still walk home together but don't forget about the time limit, that is not going away, especially now."

"You both are grounded. No phones so give them up." He said holding out his hand.

We both luckily had them on us, and gave them to him.

"That also means you will come straight here and can help Emily with the housework, I don't want any complaining or backtalk, if I do hear any you're in trouble." He let his eyes linger on my face for while.

"No going out cliff diving or anything like that, the only time I want you in your wolf forms at all is if I'm making you do laps or something because Emily has no work for you, or if I directly tell you to change. Any changing without my permission will result in consequences." He said.

I rolled my eyes, the only relieve and relaxation I get was just taken away from me.

"Do you have a problem with what I'm saying Selena?" He asked.

I didn't answer him. "Selena answer him, now." Seth ordered.

I disobeyed him, pulled my hand from his, and turned away. Sam grabbed my arm tightly and pulled me back towards them.

"Ow!" I whined, "Yes sir."

"Why is it the only way you listen to anyone is if you're being or afraid that you might be punished?" He asked.

"I'm sorry." I said looking down.

He threw my arm back and I looked at Seth with pleading eyes.

He sighed, "We will talk later, I haven't forgotten you're just making it worse." But even though he said that he opened his hand allowing me to take it again.

I stayed quiet and looked at the floor in front of us.

"You will train without any complaints as well. I want all of your homework done before bed, and then you may both go straight home and sleep. I will check with your guardians that you have done exactly what I've told you to do." He said.

"Yes sir." Seth answered.

I rolled my eyes again.

Seth threw his hands in the air, "Really?"

"Selena come here." Sam said crooking his fingers towards me.

I shook my head desperately, "No! I'm sorry! I meant yes sir!"

"Selena, come here, now." He said making his way to the couch and sitting down.

I whimpered and looked at Seth with tears in my eyes, "You heard him, go."

II looked at him with shock before making my way to the couch.

Sam sat me on his lap, "Why do you always have to argue, why can't you just do what you're told?"

"I'm sorry Sammy, I'm just so tired." I cried trying to hug him.

"No," He said brushing my hands away, "I'm not going to let you get away with this attitude of yours.

He pulled me forward effortlessly and gave me ten swats with his hand.

I started crying harder then I was before and he pulled me up, "Now are you going to obey my instructions?" he asked.

I knew I was in no position to argue, and I didn't even have any energy left to argue if I wanted to, "Yes s-sir."

"Good, then we're done here. I think you and Seth have matters to discuss privately, you can use our room upstairs." Sam said.

My shoulders slumped but I crawled off his lap and walked into Seth's arms. He hugged me tightly for a minute, "I love you." He whispered in my ear.

"I love you too."
