BEFORE THE CLEARWATER'S
CHAPTER 7
SAVANNAH P.O.V
Friday nights were turning into pack family night. So every Friday, we went to the beach and had dinner and a fire. I was glad that finally my parents seemed to be giving me a break and I was allowed to be with Seth. We tried to not touch each other but sometimes it wasn't possible.
"Want a beer?" I asked standing at the cooler holding out a beer to him.
"Sure. Thanks." He took it from me. Even the little touches where his finger's touched mine was amazing. I grabbed a blanket and sat on one of the empty logs. He sat next to me and leaned into me.
"Grandpa." I commented.
"Kiddo."
"Do all wolves imprint?" I questioned. I had first asked Seth the question, but he didn't give me much of an answer.
"Not always." He commented getting the rest of the groups attention. I wrapped the blanket around Seth's shoulder's so that we could hold hands and my parents wouldn't be able to see. "Often imprints don't meet from birth." I smiled at Seth. My fate was set from the day he met me. "Sometime's someone never imprints. Lots of things can happen for that to happen. Death, distance, never being born. Our actions change the course of our fate every single minute of every single day."
I wonder how mine and Seth's fate was going to be changed due to my parents actions.
"No imprints have ever broken up." I looked down. "At least not for long." Grandpa Billy added.
"Hey. I will always love you." Seth commented holding my chin to look at him. "Always." I couldn't help but look at his lips. He leaned in and kissed me. I threw everything out the window and kissed him back.
*BELLA P.O.V*
I couldn't help but watch Seth and Savannah interact. They were so cute and I was really starting to feel guilty about how we had been treating both of them. I had Jacob's hand in mine. He was watching them like a hawk.
I couldn't help the small smile that formed on my face when they kissed. It was innocent. And apparently Jacob thought the same because instead of stopping them, he squeezed my hand and got my attention to look at him.
"They are really cute you know." I commented.
"She's my baby." He said looking at me.
"I know she is. She's not a little kid anymore, Jacob. We have to let her go."
"I still think it would be a good idea for her to wait until she was 18." He answered making me sigh.
"Fine but at least let them hang out."
"Fine." I looked back over at them and she was now cuddled into his side. The look of pain was no longer on either of their faces. It killed me every morning seeing her come down the stairs and the look on her face was as if someone had stabbed her in the chest. I never wanted to see her look like that again.
I couldn't even tell you the last time she had gotten a full nights sleep.
*SAVANNAH P.O.V*
It was 2 in the morning. I could hear everyone sleeping. I quietly got out of bed and put on running clothes and shoes. I grabbed my phone and made my bed before jumping out the window.
I landed softly and right away took off towards Seth. I still wouldn't be 18 for another month and two weeks. At this time, in the middle of the night, when there was no moon to be seen, I was thankful for being part wolf. I could clearly see and was able to get to Seth's fast. I was hoping he was awake as I knocked on his door and rang his doorbell.
"What are you doing?" He asked opening the door as I shoved passed him.
"I'm sick of this." I commented. "I want to be with you. I'm not letting anyone stop me." We had been away from each other for three weeks and that was far too long. Our kiss today made me fall head over heels in love with him all over again.
"It's against order's."
"I don't care." I threw my hands up and let them fall to the side. "I want you."
"So have me." He answered. I quickly moved to him and grabbed his face kissing him. I knew that I needed to be back by morning. I knew my dad was going to be checking my room. I jumped into his arms and he easily caught me.
He carried me to his room and carefully laid me on the bed.
"As much as I would love to fuck a hole in this mattress, I'm exhausted." He commented making me giggle. I knew the feeling. "Let's just sleep." He said getting into bed beside me and wrapping his arms around me.
"My dad is gonna kill me when he see's that I'm gone."
"At least we'll die together." He commented before quickly falling asleep. I wasn't far behind him.
The next morning when I woke up, dad was sitting at the end of Seth's bed in a chair. Seth was still peacefully sleeping next to me.
"What the hell are you doing?" I asked sitting up.
"I could ask you the same thing." He commented. "We need to talk."
"I don't want to talk."
"You'll want to hear this." He commented. "We will allow you to see Seth again. But we are going to have rules. Only sleepover's on Saturday's. At our house. Doors are always to be open. And if I find out you're having sex before you're 18, I will murder him. We don't want anything to be official until you are 18. And I understand that you've packed your things to move here. I hope you'll reconsider." He commented before standing up. "I expect you home for dinner every night unless asked otherwise."
"Got it." I commented. I'm sure Seth would never want to have sex with me again after the first time. There were ways around that. We both knew that.
Dad left shortly after and I huffed laying next to Seth.
"Was he serious?" He asked opening his eyes.
"Yeah." I was going to soak up as much Seth time as possible. Every single day after class I planned to come see him.
"I'm surprised he didn't flip his lid." He rubbed my back. "I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the house when he found your bed empty." He was quiet for a while. "Do you really have stuff packed to move here?"
"Yeah." I whispered.
"You know I would love that but why don't we wait until we're engaged?"
"Okay. That seems better." I commented. "But if they keep acting like that I'm moving in the day I turn 18." He laughed.
"Deal." He kissed me. It felt so nice to be here, in his bed, in his arms. Kissing him. He reached his hand under my shirt and squeezed me over my bra. "How about a shower and then we can go out to breakfast?"
"I would love that." I smiled against his lips. He got up to start the shower. I waited for it to heat up before I joined him in the bathroom. I stripped off my clothes before getting in with him.
"I've got sunshine on a cloudy day." He sang making me giggle. "You'll always be my girl." I smiled as he held me close to him. "Marry me."
"Yes."
"What?"
"Yes. I'll marry you."
"Well then." He laughed making me smile. "I'll propose for real very soon." He commented as I washed my hair. I got out before him so that I could dry my hair. "Ready?" He asked.
"Yes." I grabbed his hand as we went out to his car. "Can we go to that place in Seattle?"
"Yeah." He rested his hand on my thigh. I was so glad that we would be able to spend this time together. I had really missed him.
"I wanna be official. So let's keep that to ourselves."
"Deal." He smiled. We stayed in Seattle for a few more hours after breakfast before he dropped me off at home.
"Oh thank god!" Mom gushed coming over to me. "I was scared!" She shouted hitting my arm. "Why didn't you tell us you were leaving?"
"I knew you would never let me." I commented. "I was just at Seth's."
"I know." She commented. "Dad found you." I had nothing much to say to her. I wasn't going to allow them to keep him away from me anymore. They were going to have to accept that.
"I love him you know."
"I do know."
"Then why did you do that to me?" I don't think she had answer.
"It was what dad wanted."
"What about what I wanted? Or what Seth wanted? It was alpha's order's to break up with me! That's so fucked up!"
"And we're sorry for that." She answered.
"Sometimes sorry isn't enough." I quickly went up to my room. "And I want a new door!" I shouted down to her.
I went to family dinner but quickly rushed through so that I could go see Seth.
"You curfew is still 1."
"I know." I commented shoving the bread into my mouth and grabbing my purse. I waited on the front porch for Seth to drive up. I quickly ran to his car and made sure no one was peeking out any windows before kissing him. "Hi." I smiled.
"Hi beautiful." He answered. "I was thinking we go look at the stars. Maybe get handsy." He smirked making me laugh.
"Sure." He wanted to go to some clearing in the woods that he found so it was a little bit of a hike. Even though I had some wolf in me, it didn't make the hike easy on me when I hadn't been sleeping. "Help me." I huffed as he waited for me to get to him.
"Get on my back. It isn't much further." He commented as I climbed on. I kissed his neck and wrapped my arms tighter around him.
"I really promised them that we would wait this time." I said.
"And I intend to keep that promise this time." He commented. I smiled into his neck. "How about for your 18th's birthday we get a hotel room in the city?" He questioned.
"That's a little expensive don't you think?"
"Don't worry about money, Sav." He commented as he pushed through the trees and got to the clearing.
"Oh my gosh." I mumbled sliding off his back. It was rare that we were able to see the stars in La Push. I laid down in the grass looking up. "They're almost as pretty as me." He burst out laughing and rolled to face me.
"You're the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on." I looked at him and smiled. "I cannot wait to spend forever with you."
"It's getting cold, we should head back." He commented.
"You know, it is Saturday."
"Indeed it is." He commented as I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his shoulder's.
"Dad said you could sleepover on Saturday's."
"He did." He smiled as we opened the car door for me and set me down. "Do you still have a drawer with my clothes in it?"
"Of course I do." I smiled waiting for him to run around the car and get in. "I should warn you before we get there, I don't have a door."
"We can't close the doors anyway."
"That's true. And make sure you're quiet because of the baby."
"I only got to see him once." He pouted.
"You can visit with him tomorrow." I commented turning on the heat and holding his hand. "Imagine if my mom and Edward stayed together and he was my dad. He would have murdered you the minute you imprinted." Seth laughed.
"Believe it or not, Edward actually likes me."
"I know he does." I smiled. I loved that Seth was able to get along with the Cullen's. They still had a great relationship with my mom and it felt nice that they would be apart of our lives.
He pulled in the driveway and as soon as I opened my door, I could hear Finn sobbing inside along with mom while dad was trying to calm them both down.
"Jesus." Seth commented following behind me.
"What's going on?"
"Sav!" Dad sighed. "Please take him." He commented handing the crying baby over to me. I gently rocked him trying to calm him down. Dad took mom into their bedroom. I quickly made a bottle but that didn't seem to help.
"This is going to seem really weird..." Seth trailed off. "But maybe let him lay on your bare chest. Don't babies like skin to skin?"
"Yeah." I commented going to the living room. I took off my shirt and quickly laid him on my chest covering us both with a blanket. "You're okay. Sissy got you." I rubbed his back gently. I calmed him down enough to let Seth feed him a bottle. By the time we got him calm and asleep in his own bed, it was nearly 3 in the morning. "You're gonna be an awesome dad some day." I smiled as we laid in bed together.
"I hope so." He smiled rubbing my back. I threw one of my legs over him and for the second night in a row, was able to sleep with him beside me.
*SETH P.O.V*
I woke up before Savannah and quickly rushed to the kitchen to make her breakfast in bed.
"Don't spill anything on my carpet." Bella commented as she was awake cooking for the others.
"I won't." I commented carrying our plates in one hand and our drinks in the other. "I'm pretty fast you know." I commented as I ran up the stairs and set everything down on her night stand. "Savannah." I commented leaning over her kissing her lips a few time.
"No, Seth." She mumbled.
"I made you breakfast."
"But I'm sleepy." She commented wrapping her arms around me and holding me in place. Sometimes I forgot just how much wolf she had in her. Sometimes it was hard to get out of her grip.
"I know. But let's eat and then we can go do something." I kissed her neck.
"I wanna spend all day cuddling you."
"And we can. Just eat." I commented as she let me go and she sat up. "For my queen." I handed her the plate I made for her.
"Thank you." She smiled holding it on her lap. I wanted to spend every morning of the rest of my life like this. With her. Eating breakfast. Her hair a mess and no make up on. I want her forever.
