I try to be patient, but I'm hurting deep inside
And I can't keep waiting, I need comfort late at night
And I can't find my way, won't you lead me home
Cause I'm lost in this dream, I need you to hold me
I'm scared of lonely

Seth's hair fell in front of his eyes as he sat in the back of the class. His hands were clenched into tight fists, and he could feel his nails digging into the palms of his hands. The pain brought him relief. It made the voice in his head fade away for a moment. He closed his eyes to relish in the moment but as quickly as it had come it was gone. The wound was healed.

He reopened his eyes, and without looking he knew Renesmee was looking at him. She was always looking at him. It was as if she was nervous about him. Hell, all the Cullens were nervous about him. Ever since she died, they were walking on eggshells around him.

The bell rung and Seth swept his books into his bag and walked out the room with Renesmee trailing a half a step behind him. As they walked through the halls, he could hear the whispers.

I hear he cuts himself.

Wasn't he involved in that fire that killed that foster child a few months ago?

He's a suspect, right?

Didn't he do drugs?

Renesmee trailed him as he walked out of the school building and cut across the freshly cut lawn of Langston Prep. Renesmee's plaid skirt flowed a little in the wind and the black flats she wore made it hard for her to walk at the same pace at Seth, but she didn't slow down. Seth tugged at his tie until he got it off before untucking his shirt. The wolf stalked through the campus until he got to the sophomore parking lot. He angrily threw his tie down before collapsing on the pavement. The tears were falling from his eyes before he could realize what was going on.

"I'm pathetic, aren't I?" Seth asked as Renesmee knelt down next to him. "I can't stop crying, and everything thing reminds me of her."

"Seth, she was your imprint. Of course, you would feel this way." Renesmee whispered gently stroking his hair.

"I just want all this guilt to go away." More tears fell down his face, and he angrily wiped them away. "I'm so sick of everything. Sometimes I wish I could just die."

Renesmee looked at him for a moment before smiling. "It'll go away Seth. I promise."
