Review and no Sethielle hate!
Seth didn't get the message that I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE HIM. He was everywhere! I couldn't understand his obsession, he broke up with me! He was the reason I went back to New York. And now I'm engaged and ready to move on with my life. Our love was young love, and I get you never stop truly loving your first love, but things were getting out of hand. He would bring me breakfast in bed, offer to carry me places, tell me constantly how amazing I looked. And like four years ago, whenever he wasn't around, there was that horrible hole in my chest in which only his presence could cure. But I wasn't falling for any of it. I would not go crawling back to him because now I had Kyle. Of course Kyle was the exact opposite of Seth these days. He barely called and he was always pissed at me for one thing or another. I also had a strong feeling he was sleeping with the receptionist at our hotel.
Every time I walked into a room, it would suddenly get quiet. As if everyone was talking about me. They most likely were because I had left and not had any contact with any of them for four years. I was like that family member that no one actually liked. Or maybe they blamed me for leaving Seth.
Three days after I got to La Push- La Pash, Emily informed me that she wanted me as a bridesmaid. Emily never did my any wrong, so I couldn't refuse. The only problem was Leah, who was also a bridesmaid, much to our dismay. All she did was smirk at me, and if she wasn't smirking, she was jeering and if she wasn't jeering, she was glaring. I did everything I could to ignore both members of the Clearwater family, but they were both persistent.
"Dani! That dress looks wonderful on you!" Emily gushed at the fitting.
"Thanks Emily," I smiled, "Your wedding is going to be beautiful."
I looked at the knee length lilac bridesmaid dress that I was wearing. It did look stunning on me. But it was the kind of dress that could look amazing on anyone, even Leah. Who was also admiring her reflection in the mirror. Kim, Rachel, and Nessie were also bridesmaids and Claire was the flower girl. She pranced around the room in her puffy white dress with a big lilac bow around the waist. She was adorable. But I felt distant from all of them. Especially when they were with their significant other. It reminded me of the way Seth and I were. But then again, we were all imprinted. Yet I had somehow managed to fight the imprint. At least that's what I kept telling myself.
The wedding was two weeks away and everyone was busy with planning, decorating, or getting fitted. The Uley household was hectic. There was so much going on and Emily barely had any time to cook for the hungry werewolves in her house. And then someone assigned me that job. Too bad I can't even cook water correctly. I probably spent most of the money I had in my purse on pizza delivery and Chinese. Yeah, I sucked I know. But on the first day when I attempted to make some grilled cheese, let's just say I owe Emily a new set of non stick pans.
After thanking the delivery guy, who attempted to flirt with me but sopped immediately when various growls erupted from behind, I walked into the kitchen, setting the food down. For once in my life, I saw a sight I would never believe unless I saw it. The guys actually looked a little disappointed in my food selection.
"Pizza again, Dani?" Embry laughed.
"It's Danielle," I grumbled for the hundredth time under my breath, "And if you don't want pizza, then why don't you get food yourself for a change!"
"I could, but then it wouldn't give me the satisfaction of teasing you about your horrible cooking abilities," Embry said while the rest of the guys laughed.
I glared at all of them individually, skipping Seth, and that shut them up. Yep, I still got it. I stormed out of the kitchen to find something better to do, but someone caught my arm. It tingled lightly. Ignore it ignore it ignore it.
"Don't let them get to you, Dani. They're just having fun," Seth soothed. He looked so concerned, so sweet. I felt myself leaning into his warmth.
I ribbed my arm out of his grasp and glared at him, only causing him to smile and the rest of the guys to roar with laughter. I tripped over my own feet and stumbled back into the wall. Seth chuckled and held out a hand.
"I told you about those heels," he laughed, shaking his head.
"I hate you," I whispered.
The noise died down and everyone stared at me in shock, but I was already out the door and walking home. Thankfully, nobody followed. When I got to Jacob's I ran upstairs and threw myself on the bed. I could feel Seth's pain and it hurt like a bitch. I wondered if he could feel my pain all those years. Or was I just feeling his pain? Or was it a horrible mixture of both? He killed me inside and rearranged me and made me depressed and alone in the world. Nobody understood me. I bet none of the other imprints got broken up with and forced to move all the way across the country. All these years I spent looking at myself in the mirror and trying to figure out what was wrong with me. There were some days when I couldn't even get out of bed because of the intensity of the pain. Maybe that was because he was feeling the same thing as me. I hated it. I hated the imprint and I hated Seth for imprinting on me.
I closed my eyes and tried to coax myself into peacefulness, but there was none. My thoughts drifted all over the place. Instead, I fell asleep with a horrible nightmare about me getting ripped to shred by a lion and Seth standing there laughing.
