Chapter 17: Hey Sleepy

The first thing I noticed when I woke was how hot it was, which is extremely unusual for Forks.

I turned in the bed I happened to be lying in to see Seth sitting on the edge of it, beside me.

"Seth?"

"Hey sleepy."

"What are you doing here? I thought you were away. Wait. What am I doing here? And where is here?"

He laughed at me quietly. "You're in my house, in my room. You're here because Embry brought you here and I'm here because you're here."

"Don't confuse me anymore please Seth." I moaned at him.

"What are you confused about Bron?"

I looked up into his eyes, seeing my own reflected in them. "I don't know."

He smiled, brushing my hair away from my face. "I don't want you to be confused."

"I don't want me to be confused either."

"You scared the shit out of me tonight Bronte Agnew. Do it again, and I'll murder you. Then I'll bring you back from the dead, and murder you again."

My mouth twitched, trying to stop a smile. "How will you bring me back from the dead?"

"I have a couple of friends who owe me some favours." He was trying to pull off a serious face, but failing. I laughed at him.

"Who are your friends?"

"None of your little beeswax." he said, stroking my nose. I wrinkled it.

"Yes it is."

"How do you figure that one out?"

"Well if he or she is going to bring me back from the dead, than technically it is my business."

"My contacts generally like to remain unnamed."

I smiled. "I see. Seth?"

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry I scared you."

"Bronte, listen to me. This wasn't your fault. It's that fucking....." Seth shivered. I leaned over and took his hand, which I realised was shaking slightly. "I will kill him if he ever comes near you again. I'm sorry I wasn't here for you, to protect you from him. This is all my fault." He said, shaking his head.

"Oh Seth! This isn't your fault either! Please don't say that. I feel so guilty. If it's anyone's fault it's mine. I didn't have to go to that party."

"Maybe both of you are at fault." A voice said from the door. Seth grabbed a book from the floor and flung it at him. He caught it. "Ooh. Pride and Prejudice. I never knew you were a fan Sethy-Wethy." He called walking on.

"Yeah? At least I can read!" Seth called after him. "I'm sorry. I'm grateful to him and all, but he really gets on my nerves."

"It's okay. I think we were both getting too soppy anyway. And I don't like soppy."

"Me neither." He leaned in and kissed me. I winced slightly. Seth groaned. "That is going to be torture."

"It'll heal in a few days."

"I don't think I can go a few days without kissing you Bron."

"I don't think you have much choice. Though just 'cause the lips are off limits, doesn't mean anything else is."

He grinned mischievously. "I like your thinking."

"I like my thinking too." He leaned down again, but this time started kissing my neck.

"Seth?

"Mmm-hmm?"

"I've decided I'm going to tell Rhys what happened. But on one condition. You come with me."

He pulled away, which I instantly regretted. "Are you sure?"

"Very. There's no way I'm doing it on my own. And I wouldn't ask anyone else."

"In that case I'd be honoured."

A/N: Okay guys, i know it's short and you've been waiting for ever but i have good reasons. First, i went back to school so time is hard to come by. Second, i've had a slight block with this story but it's gone now. And third, this stupid site won't let me post new chapters so i had to find a really long awkward way of doing it. If anyone's having the same problem, feel free to PM me. Next chapter shouldn't take as long hopefully.

jewlzncoolz: I know i am. Sorry i took so long.

LadyLovely: Do you know now?

Isha Cullen: I'm loving our little convos.

EmmettLaughedAtMe: I'm sorry Mills came out of the blue. See, i'm a stupid writer. I forgot that he had been introduced in one of the drafts but you guys hadn't seen him yet. Oh well, my bad. Sorry everyone. And no drowning, not messy enough. XD I know. We're working on trying to get her some girlfriends. I'm tired of him too. I know the last chapters haven't been great 'cause i hit writer's block last week, which was a nightmare. I'm hoping they'll get better from the next chapter on.

GurlCullen17: Yes, good guess.
