Author's Note: I want to thank EVERYONE for supporting my fan-fictional stories by reading them and leaving reviews. It means so much to me, like seriously. You guys are awesome! Okay, so I'm going to leave you people to reading because typing this makes me sound conceited. _ I mean, I sound like I just won a big gigantic or something but that's just how it feels every time I see a new message from fanfiction(dot)net in my email account. Now, here's chapter seven!
—*—
Seth's POV
"Are you sure you don't want to come in?" I frowned in disappointment. "I'm sure Melanie wants to see you too. Sam, Quil, and Embry are on shift tonight so there's nothing to worry about."
He sighed. "Sure, Sure. No point in arguing now, it's already late."
I yawned, digging for the keys somewhere in my pocket. It was at least two in the morning and Jacob was standing here with me. It took him a couple of hours for him to convince me that I shouldn't stay with him during patrol. It wasn't even my shift, anyway, but I needed to take care of Melanie's attackers myself. But I suppose he was right, because he was the alpha after all. I needed sleep, and it was just thirty steps away from me. I stuck the key into the hole and turned the door knob. I gave it a slight push, and as quietly as I could, I headed to my room at the far end of the hall way past my mother's and Leah and Melanie's. I could hear my mother snoring soundly and then I could sense a faint smell of a vampire...
Renesmee was here?
I think Jacob smelled her too, because both of us started walking fast, but steady. Leah's door was slightly open and the light illuminated just a part of the hallway where their door faced forward. I heard laughter, and the voices from a Family Matters rerun filled their room. I stood at the front of the door and gave it a slight knock. "Can I come in?"
"Yes!" The three voices of the ladies that occupied the room could be heard even from the ends of the hallway. I pushed the door open, causing it to creak ever so slightly. I stared, shocked and appalled of what I was seeing before my very two eyes. Melanie sat at her bed, her legs crossed together as she stared right back at me with an innocent smile. Leah and Renesmee ignored me, however, each of them stood at one side of the bowl of popcorn.
"You're early," Leah said without turning away from the television.
"Leah?" I was quite bewildered. Leah had always ignored Melanie and never really tried or bothered to befriend her. It was rather strange, considering the fact that the two seemed to be on good terms. It was a good sight to see, actually. "What are you doing to the poor girl?"
She glared at me. "Don't make accusations. I didn't do anything."
"Sorry," I said, sitting right beside Melanie. I wrapped my arms around her waist and held her closer to me. "Anyway, Jacob wanted me to get home because he thought I needed some sleep." I pointed to the taller male right next to me. He grinned at the ladies, and especially at the sight of Renesmee who leaped for him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Renesmee added, only taking a quick glance at me. It wasn't surprising that she seemed to be glued to him ever since he stepped into the room. He was her other half and he completed her like SpongeBob to Patrick or Winnie the Pooh to Piglet. Even from the beginning or maybe even before that, if it were possible, their destinies intertwined. They were meant to be together: today, tomorrow, and every day of the rest of their lives. Just like Melanie and I. We were soul mates and that was just the definition of it—we were simply the examples, but there was more to it than just meaningful words.
"He's right. We're all worried about you, especially Melanie." The Family Matters episode turned into a commercial break. Melanie reached over to grab a handful of buttered popcorn that caused my mouth to water and set my cravings to high. Her lips curved to an innocent smile that invited mine to press down on it, satisfying yet another craving of mine. We laughed when we pulled apart. Jacob and Renesmee were busy making out in the corner, like they were in their own little dimension. Leah tried to ignore all of us, her face in disgust.
Melanie frowned at the fact that Leah was alone. I released my arms from her waist and she kneeled over the bowl of popcorn. She grabbed a handful and playfully tried to feed Leah, to cheer her up. "Say aw!"
Leah gave her a funny look. "What the hell?"
I shot a glare at her, but Melanie just giggled like it was a joke. "Don't be mad, be glad!"
"Oh shut up." Leah mumbled, rolling her eyes. But I could see a smile tugging on a corner of her mouth. It made me smile quite a bit. Melanie still continued to try and shove popcorn down my sister's throat, and it made us all laughed as we watched. Then Leah couldn't take it anymore. She got up from her position and walked out of the room. "Geez, you guys are so full of energy! And it's like, so freaking early in the morning."
Amazingly, Melanie still wasn't going to give up without a fight. She started humming to a song that I was somewhat familiar with. Then she started singing for crying out loud, and we all started to break into a hysterical laughter. "Baby come back to me! In my heart I still believe, we were meant to be…" Then Leah froze in her tracks, turned around, and shot another look at Melanie. I knew, no, we all knew what she was thinking. It was written all over her face: Is this kid for real?
"What's she singing?" Jacob looked at me. I knew Melanie wouldn't answer, since she was distracted by her ever so wonderful singing. I chuckled. "This one song by that one girl in that High School Musical movie…" I looked at Renesmee, needing help to freshen up my memory bank.
"Are you talking about the girl who played Gabriella?" I nodded at her question. "The actress who played her was Vanessa Anne Hudgens."
I snapped my fingers. "Yeah, it was her."
THUD!
Heads turned.
The singing stopped.
Apparently, Leah had enough of Melanie's singing so she jumped onto the poor girl and the two looked at each other and had begun to laugh uncontrollably. Then out of all people, our mother came into the room and looked at the two girls with widened and terrified eyes. "LEAH CLEARWATER!" The two girls looked back up at the older female. Leah's hands wrapped around Melanie's wrists and pinned her down, making her unable to get up or release herself from Leah's grip. "What're you doing to the poor girl?
Then the two exchanged glances then looked back at our mother who was searching for questions. Leah got up and pulled Melanie with her, who responded to the question. She looked at her with an innocent smile. "Oh, just karaoke and some wrestling..."
Leah nodded, adding. "Wanna join?"
And with that, Sue Clearwater slapped her forehead and went to bed.
And the five of us continued to party all night long, having the time of our lives. Taking pictures, fighting, and a few make out sessions with comments from Leah Clearwater herself. But little did we know that it was just the beginning of the end. I mean hey, we didn't have moments like Alice had. We wouldn't have known that all of this wouldn't last very long. The disasters waited for us somewhere along the road and maybe we just weren't ready for it.
Well, maybe we did know and we just didn't want to admit it.
We just had to make sure it won't happen.
Because then all of it would fade away.
Disappeared.
All gone.
FIN.
