Scarlett POV
My eyes shot open and I sat up, looking at him.
"Run that by me one more time."
"Scarlett, will you marry me?" A nervous grin formed on his face.
Is he serious?
"Um-"
"Scar, we're gonna be together forever anyway and it's not as if I'm saying we should get married tomorrow or-"
"I'm fifteen." I looked away.
"Scar..."
I climbed out of the bed and paced back and forth.
"We can talk about this in the morning... come on, you have to get some sleep."
"I... I can't sleep. I just..." I sat on the edge of the bed and put my head between my knees. I felt warm arms wrap around me and pull me back into the bed. He pulled the covers back over me and pulled me against his chest.
"I love you, Scarlett." He whispered.
"S-Seth?" I mumbled, but he just shushed me.
Three hours later, I was still awake, pressed to Seth's chest. He stirred and hugged me closer for a second, before moving me up to look at the confused expression on his face. He kissed my forehead. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. He was acting as if nothing had happened.
"What's wrong?"
"Y-You asked me to marry you, Seth."
"Yeah-"
"We've been dating for, like, a week." I sat up and he followed.
"Three."
"I'm fifteen."
"You'll be sixteen in seven months."
"Emily and Sam aren't even married."
"They will be in four months."
"Seth!"
"Scarlett!" He grinned. "We could get married and have child-" He stopped when he saw my face.
"I need to go home."
"Scarlett-"
"I need to go home and I need for you to leave me alone."
I regretted the words as soon as they came out of my mouth.
His expression made me feel even worse.
"Scarlett, please. We don't have to get married or anything-"
"I'll, uh, um... yeah." I climbed out of the bed and pulled my jeans and my hoodie on.
"Scarlett!"
"I, um... yeah." I pushed open the window and looked down.
I can probably make it... worst I could do is break the other wrist...
"Don't you dare." His arms were around me within a second.
"Seth..."
"Just think about it-"
"I have been! For three hours!"
"So... you decide anything?"
"Are you kidding me?"
"Um..."
"Seth-"
"Just... yes or no? Yes? Or... No."
"I... I don't know."
"So... that's not a no?"
"I really don't know."
"Oh... alright."
"Sorry."
"No... it's fine. Of course it's fine!" He grinned and pulled me into a hug. "I'll be whatever you need me to be, Scarlett."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah."
I'd fallen asleep at some point and had woken up lying in Seth's bed, alone. I rolled over and checked the time. Ten thirty? How could it be ten thirty? It is Friday, isn't it? The confusion was too much, so I grabbed the pillow and pulled it tight over my head. I heard crinkling and found a piece of notebook paper.
Scarlett!
You're awake! I'm out on patrol right now, so I'll see you when I get back. You're not going to school today, as you've probably guessed. Mom went to Port Angeles with Emily and Leah's out somewhere too. I'll be home soon, love you.
Love Seth xxx
I dropped the paper back on the bed and dug my face into the pillow. I wasn't getting up. Ever.
I mean, if I just stayed in bed, I'd die of starvation or old age or something and I'd never have to answer Seth.
God.
Seth.
Marriage.
What the hell?!
I wasn't ready! I really wasn't!
But...
How could I say no to him? I loved Seth with all of my heart! How was I supposed to tell him that I didn't know if I wanted to spend my life with him?
I fell back asleep and didn't wake up until their were footsteps by the side of the bed.
"Scarlett?" I heard Seth say, quietly. I pulled the covers over my head. "Scarlett, are you awake?"
"No."
"Morning." I clung to the covers, but against his stupid wolf-strength I couldn't hold onto them when he ripped them away.
"Go away. I'm sleeping."
"Not anymore." He chuckled. I scrunched my eyes closed as he picked me up and carried me somewhere.
I opened my eyes when he sat my down in a chair. I was in the kitchen and there was a big plate of pancakes in front of me.
"You didn't make these."
"No, Emily did. I just brought them over." He grinned, sitting down next to me with an even bigger plate.
"So, Scarlett." Seth broke the silence that seemed to go on forever after we finished eating.
"Seth." I murmured. I knew exactly what he was going to say. He was going to say-
"Have you thought about it anymore?"
"Yes." I nodded my head. He grinned widely.
"Yes? Oh my god, Scarlett, we're-"
"No! I meant, yes, I've thought about it, I did not say yes to marrying you!"
He looked like someone had just brutally murdered a little puppy in front of him.
"Oh."
"Sorry... I just haven't decided yet... I kind of, um, just wanna go home or something."
"Yeah, sure..."
I got home to find Alice and Jasper sitting on the sofa, waiting.
"Um... hey?"
"Hello, Scarlett." Jasper gave a small smile as they stood up. Alice squealed and ran over. I loved Alice. She was one of the only people I knew who were smaller than me.
"I saw you in a wedding dress!" She grinned. I frowned.
Guess that's that decision made.
"Come on, come on!" She rushed me and Jasper out of the door and to an expensive looking car. She drove ridiculously fast. I had to hold onto the door handle.
She drove us to the Cullen house and dragged me inside, pushing me onto the couch and sitting next to me.
"Tell me everything."
"You don't already know?"
"I don't see the wolves..." She looked annoyed for a second, before returning back to being happy. "Tell me!"
"Well... I was sleeping over at his place and then he asked me..."
"That's it?"
"Yeah-"
"What did you say?"
"I said that I didn't know."
"Well, you say yes."
"You don't know! You haven't seen me saying yes! You haven't seen us at a wedding!"
"No, but-" She stopped and stared into space.
"Alice?"
"She's just having a vision." Jasper said from beside her. She suddenly looked at me.
"You were with Nessie and some Quileute girls... you all tried wedding dresses on..." She looked confused. I thought for a second, before breathing a sigh of relief. "What?"
"Emily's taking us wedding dress shopping next week. She'll probably make us try some on."
"So... what are you gonna say to Seth?"
I was lying in Nessie's bed, like I had been since I screamed in Alice's face earlier. Rose, Alice, Bella and Esme had all been in and talked to me about marriage, but I could barely remember what they were saying. I was too stressed by the thought to even think about it. I simply told them not to tell anyone and hugged them goodbye.
"Scarlett?" I heard Seth whisper. I stayed silent. He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Scar..."
"I don't wanna marry you, Seth... but... I don't wanna say no..." I sat up.
"I know, Scarlett, I had an idea!" He grinned, but kept his voice low. I imagined it was to stop the Cullens from hearing. "Here." He held up a small ring made of purple and green yarn. He pulled my hand up and pushed the yarn-ring onto my right-ring finger.
"What's going on?"
"You can say that you'll marry me when you're ready to be engaged to me." He smiled, sweetly, and kissed my cheek.
"You're a dork."
"I'm your dork, Scarlett."
"Like, seriously, you're an embarrassment."
"But, I'm your embarrassment, Scarlett."
"Seth! Quit it!"
"I'll never quit on you, Scarlett."
"Seth!"
We were on the beach, lying on the sand, staring up at the cloudy sky.
"It's cold." I murmured. He pulled me into his arms and held me tight. "Thanks."
"Scarlett Clearwater..."
"Don't start with that crap again."
"It's got a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"
"Seth-"
"Scarlett Rivers Junior Clearwater."
"Seth!"
"What would we name the kids?"
Okay, I give up.
"Three, I think. Two girls and a boy, and they could all look like you-"
"No. Our kids would look like you."
"But you're so pretty-"
"We'd have two boys and a girl and they'd all look like you, but one boy would have blonde hair and one boy would be paler, but the girl would look like your family. Duh."
"You've given this a lot of thought."
"I have dreams about it... geez... I sound crazy."
"Yeah, but I love you, so it's okay." He chuckled. I rolled my eyes, which made him laugh more. He kissed my forehead and sat up, taking me with him.
"I love you, Seth." I kissed his cheek and hugged him.
So, this is a baby chapter, I think. I don't know... I couldn't find the inspiration... let me know what you wanna see. I'm doing a time skip soon to freshen up the story lines a bit. It seems that all I'm writing is school days and random filler chapters...
So, yeah, let me know what you wanna see :)
Thanks for reading :)
