Chapter 5

The next morning when I woke I actually didn't feel bad. I think the aches and pains had finally surpassed. I grabbed my crutches and made my way into the bathroom. I was going to attempt to shower but completely forgot I can't get this cast wet. Shit how in the hell am I supposed to shower. I brushed my teeth and made my way down the hall into the kitchen. Seth was asleep on the couch but nobody else was in sight. I looked at the clock on the wall. 7:30 AM well I guess they aren't all early risers. I was shuffling around in the kitchen trying to find tape or a bag or something. I accidentally dropped a pan and when I turned around somebody was standing behind me and I went to swing.

"Whoa whoa it's just me" Seth said grabbing wrist to stop me from punching him. I relaxed.

"Sorry and sorry for making so much noise it's just I wanted to shower but I can't get the cast wet, Can you help?" I asked him. He chuckled and walked over to the sink and grabbed a trash bag and a roll of duct tape. Then he walked up to me and lifted me onto the counter with ease.

"Jeez superman" I told him smiling. He laughed.

"What you weigh like 50 pounds" He said laughing. I smacked his arm.

"I weight 110 thank you very much" He rolled his eyes laughing at me. When his warm touch brushed my bare leg I got goose bumps and shivered a bit. He wrapped the trash bag around my cast and started to tape it up looked very weird but seemed like it would work well.

"Thank you" I told him about to hop down but before I could he lifted me down.

"Careful that bag is gonna make it pretty slick I can go wake up Emily if you need some help?" He asked me. I shook my head no.

"No I should be fine" I told him as I went to walk back to my room almost slipping.

"Okay maybe I do need some help" I told him laughing. "Just don't wake Emily she has to work in a few hours I think and she's had a long two days" I told him. Then he lifted me up and carried me bridal style through the hallway into my bathroom. He went to shut the door behind him.

"I'll be right out here if you need me alright?" He told me. I nodded my head and thanked him for the help before he shut the door. I got undressed and went to step into the shower but couldn't securely step into the bathtub without almost slipping. I sighed. I wrapped a towel around myself and opened the door.

"Hey Seth could you come in here please?" I asked him. He got up from the bench and walked into the bathroom.

"Whats up?" He asked he was trying to look anywhere besides actually at me. Probably because the only thing between him and a naked girl was a small towel.

"I can't get into the tub without almost slipping can you help me into the tub please?" I asked him. He nervously walked over toward me and help my hand as I stepped over the edge of the tub into the shower he steadied me so I could get into a good stance to let go. I closed the shower curtain and took off my towel.

"Could you take this?" I asked handing it through the shower curtain. He grabbed it from me. I heard the door open and knew he was about to walk out.

"Wait" I said sticking my head out in between the curtain and the wall. "Could you just hang out in here until I'm done just in case?" I asked him. He nodded and sat down on the toilet.

"Ugh yah of course if you're comfortable with that?" He asked me.

"Yah I'm okay" I told him. Then I turned on the water and began to wash my hair.

*Seth's POV*

Oh my god my imprint is literally standing on the other side of that thin shower curtain naked right now. I'm trying to look away at anything else to think about anything else or else…oh shit here it comes. Don't think about her naked, stop thinking about it.

"Seth I promise I'm almost done" Oh god not now go away go away. Think about dead puppies and dead babies. Anything else. Then I heard the water turn off. Shit shit shit. I stood up and slowly it started to go away. Okay cool dead puppies and babies seems to be working. I handed her the towel and shortly after that she opened the shower curtain. I helped her out of the shower and helped her walk back into her room.

"Okay I'm gonna go back out there are you okay?" She shook her head yes.

"Thank you Seth, I know that was super awkward but I really appreciate it" she told me. Oh no that wasn't awkward at all just the love of my life naked not even 10 feet away from me behind a shower curtain.

"No problem just let me know if you need anything else" I told her before walking out into the hallway as I was closing the door I was met eye to eye with Sam. I awkwardly laughed.

"Hey Sam how's it hanging buddy?" I said I was almost frozen with fear.

"Didn't I just hear the shower running in there?" He asked me glaring at me.

"Ugh yah she couldn't get in and out of the shower safely I ugh had to tape a trash bag to her leg so she wouldn't get her cast and I" I trailed off going on and on about my explanation about how I wasn't doing anything.

"Don't be trying any funny business Clearwater" He said to me in his deep wolf voice. I nodded and walked with my head down into the living room where of course the rest of the pack was sitting and laughing. They heard our whole conversation. God damn no privacy when you're a wolf.

"Damn Seth she hasn't even been here a whole day" Paul said laughing at me. I just glared at him.

"No it wasn't like that, she needed help wrapping her cast since she can't get it wet" I told them mocking him. "I'm a gentleman" Paul just burst out laughing.

"Gentleman and virgin aren't the same thing Seth" He said still laughing. Then at that point they all started to chuckle.

"Leave him alone he's only 16" Emily came into the living room saving me from this virgin embarrassment. Paul scoffed. Emily walked into the kitchen making me some breakfast. I think it was safe to say that I'm Emily's favorite out of the rest of the pack.

"Good morning Luna, you're up early" Emily said looking behind me. I turned around to see her standing there. She looked so gorgeous her hair was still damp and her skin was glowing, she was literally the most beautiful girl I have ever seen before and I can't believe she's my imprint.

"Yah I'm an early riser, I usually go on a run first thing in the morning, but you know guess not for 4 weeks" She said she looked kinda sad. Maybe running helped ease her mind and made her feel free and now her families gone and she can't run.

"Im sorry honey, I know how hard this must be for you, can I make you some breakfast?" She asked her. She shook her head no.

"No thanks I usually don't eat breakfast, just usually a protein shake, do you have a blender?" She asked Emily. They did not I have been in this kitchen almost everyday since I turned 15 and they don't have any coffee machines, blenders, any of that stuff. It is literally like an old cabin with minimal technology but from what Luna seems like that is definitely not what she's used to.

"Sorry honey we don't, I can give you some money though if you want to run in to town to get one?" Emily asked her.

"Oh don't worry about the money, I have money in my account I've been saving from my last summer job" She told Emily.

"Oh really? Where did you work last summer?" Everybody was like staring at her it was kind of strange how intrigued they all are. Maybe because she's super hot.

"I was a lifeguard at the pool in my hometown" She told Emily. "I think the suit, shorts, and fanny pack are in a box somewhere in there" I looked back at the boys and they were all just drooling staring at her. Oh my god they are such pigs.

"I think they are actually looking for a new lifeguard at the pool here in town" Emily informed her. They definitely are looking for a new lifeguard and I wonder how many days I am going to be spending at the pool this summer.

"Maybe next summer, I'm not really up for saving lives this year" She told Emily. I really feel for her, I couldn't even imagine losing Leah and my mom like that. I know my dad passed away last year and that was super hard but I still have my mom and sister I'm not completely alone. Emily just nodded her head.

"I think I'm just going to put my room together for today. Do you have anything to drink?" She asked Emily.

"Yah of course help yourself to anything in the house, except the liquor cabinet you are still 16" Emily laughed. Luna laughed as well.

"Got it no jack and coke" She hobbled over to the the fridge and it was so hard to watch her struggle to use those crutches, I just wanted to pick her up and pack her everywhere.

"Hey Luna do you need any help unpacking if that's not too weird?" I asked her. She cracked open a can of coke and took a sip.

"No I would love some help, it's not weird" She laughed. "I don't know what you all think I have in those boxes" Then Paul got up out of his chair and whispered in her ear. She made a disgusted face and smacked Paul.

"Oh god no I'm only 16 I don't even know where to buy any of that" The whole house was laughing. Emily headed out the door for work, she worked at a little cafe in town as manager. Sam finally came out to join the pack and the rest of the pack retreated outside to hang with Sam.

"Well I guess we better get started, I have quite a few boxes" She told me hopping back down the hall to her room. I followed after her and she shut the door behind me. It took us 5 hours to put away all the boxes. She was right she did have a lot of stuff and I'm actually surprised it all fit so well in this room. We both flopped on the bed. I was exhausted that is a lot of work.

"Wanna go get some pizza?" Luna asked me. My eyes lit up two of my favorite things! Pizza and Luna!

"Uh duh! I always want pizza!" I told her jumping off the bed. She laughed. Then she threw me some keys.

"You have your license right?" She asked me.

"That's a negative, no car no need for a license" I told her. Guess we are either walking or not getting pizza.

"Well don't get pulled over then" She told me putting her shoe on. I shrugged and helped her walk out the door.
