Hey guys. Sorry there has been no update lately on any of my stories. I ended up being in hospital and had major surgery which took 7 hours. You can only imagine what it does to your head. Even two weeks after the op I feel weird in the head and not all with it. It's like I'm stoned constantly.

I am trying to get back into my stories but it is slow and please forgive any errors and tell me if it makes no sense at all. I have checked it over and to me it is fine.

Anyway please enjoy the chapter and let me know your thoughts.

Chapter 3

Seth had hardly touched his food. Jacob kept nudging his friend to encourage him to eat rather than stopping to talk to Edward. The food was delicious but not enough for the hungry shifter. To keep up appearances the vampire had ordered a meal as well which he pushed towards Jacob. The wolf hesitated for a brief second not wanting to see food wasted when his stomach was still half empty.

Edward kept the conversation flowing as the two boys ate. Jacob would roll his eyes from time to time but kept his thoughts to himself. Seth was gifted not only in his music but his schooling as well and when they turned to the topic of colleges the wolf shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Any thought of college flew out the window when he had first shifted years ago. His job was now to keep the people of his tribe safe. Even though college was a few years away for Seth, Jacob knew he couldn't stop him following his dreams just because he had to give up his own.

By time they had finished the day had turned to night. The air had cooled and Seth gladly allowed Jacob to press him closer than probably acceptable so he could keep warm. With promises of keeping in contact more Edward kissed Seth's cheek once again earning a growl from the wolf who had to force his wolf down and a innocent blush from Seth.

"Thanks for today Jake." Seth said as they made their way back to La-Push.

"Anytime. It was sorta fun."

"You are such a bad liar." Seth snorted nudging Jacob's shoulder.

Jacob wrapped his arm around him and kept Seth at his side while he drove. Seth didn't seem to mind the warmth and Jacob was happy his friend couldn't see the grin that refused to leave his face. By time they made it back to the Clearwaters. Seth was sound asleep drooling on his friend's shoulder. As much as Jacob wanted to just stay and allow Seth to sleep pressed against him, he had patrol.

"Wakey, wakey," Jacob shook Seth gently.

Seth groaned and snuggled closer to his friend. It wasn't until Jacob's large frame shook him as he chuckled that Seth sat up on his own, instantly missing the heat.

"Where are we?"

"Home you fell asleep just before we made it to Forks." Jacob explained.

"God I'm sorry Jake." Seth moaned.

"Seth are you okay. You seem a bit… I don't know off."

Seth stretched and yawned before answering. "I'm fine, just keep getting headaches." Jacob frowned at this news. "I'll tell mom tomorrow I guess it's time to go to the doc's huh."

Jacob went to say it was indeed time. The thought of Seth in pain didn't sit well with him.

"Thanks for today." Seth said reaching out to the car door.

Jacob jumped out and went and helped Seth to the house. Never before had Jacob kissed Seth but the urge to kiss him was huge and he went to lean in to kiss him on the cheek just like Edward did. Only at the same time did Seth turn to say something and their lips met instead. At first neither boy moved both shocked at what happened. As Seth was about to pull away however Jacob wrapped his arm around his slender waist and pulled him closer. The peck on the cheek was now a full on kiss.

Seth pushed away from Jacob and reached for the door. "Good night." he closed the door with a loud snap.

Jacob didn't move wondering what he had done wrong. Had he misread Seth's feelings for him? Maybe he wasn't gay and Edward had given him false hope thinking it would be funny to see the wolf make a fool of himself. Whatever it was Seth made it clear that he wasn't interested in Jake that way. Bowing his head Jacob turned and walked to his car.

Seth leaned on the door his breathing almost to the point of hyperventilating. His shaky hand went to his lips which were still warm from the plump lips of Jacob. The young man had no idea what was going on in his friend's head and wondered if that was because as far as he knew Jacob Black was straight. How could he be so cruel, did he want to make Edward jealous of him?

"Seth are you okay?" Leah asked making Seth jump. "Whoa their bro what the hell is going on?"

"Um nothing just… just ugh leave me alone." Seth snapped and pushed past his sister heading up to his room.

"Seth?"

"Not now Lee Lee." Seth said slamming his bedroom door.

Frowning Leah looked out the window and saw Jacob's tail lights as he drove out the driveway. She was on with Jacob in a few hours anyway. The beta was good at hiding his thoughts but he wasn't going to get away with hurting her brother. The wolf went up to her brothers room and pressed her ear against the door. However she heard nothing but some classical tune that Seth always played when something was on his mind. Deciding to leave him alone for now she headed downstairs to find food before patrol. Just as she poked her head in the fridge there was a howl in the distance. Slamming the door she couldn't help but smile. He finally decided to come home.

Yelling to Sue that she was going out and don't worry about dinner Leah raced out the door leaving her shoes at the back door. As she walked to the cover of the trees she looked up and saw Seth leaning on the window pane. His breath fogging up the window. Leah wished she knew how to help her brother but, right now she had a pack brother to welcome back before she kicked his ass for leaving the pack one wolf down.

Sue knocked on Seth's door and waited for him to allow her to enter. She had learnt to respect her son's privacy after unintentionally walking in on him a year or so back. Thankfully Seth was so busy pleasuring himself that he never knew his mother had even entered his room and she slipped out unnoticed.

"Come in."

"Hey sweetie how was the concert?" Sue asked going and sitting by her son who was sitting on his bed a book in his hand although it was closed.

"Good."

"Just good?" Sue frowned. Seth had been going on and on about the concert that his friend Edward was going to be performing in Port Angeles.

"No it was great. As always Edward never made a mistake." Seth smiled.

"Seth you know you can talk to me about anything right?" Sue said brushing the wayward hair away from her son's face.

"Mom what does it feel like to fall in love?"

Sue couldn't help but smile. She had always wondered if Jess was the girl for her son. He had kept on insisting that she was just his friend. The two had become close almost the day they had met and the bond had seemed to have grown stronger over the course of the friendship.

"I don't know if it's the same for everybody, but I do know what it felt like for me when I begun to fall in love with your father. Do you think your falling in love?"

Seth shrugged. "I don't know. I know that whenever they are close I get butterflies in my tummy and can't stop sweating. Whenever I hear their voice I can't get enough of it. It feels weird in a way. Nice, but weird."

"Oh sweetheart I do believe you are falling in love." Sue hugged her son to her. "Jess is a wonderful young lady."

Seth pulled back from his mother. He had been avoiding this as long as he could. He had hoped he wouldn't need to tell her before he left for college. However he wasn't going to lie to his mother.

"Mom it's not Jess. She is my best friend. I'm falling for a boy." Seth whispered.

Sue stared at her son. The last thing she imagined was her baby boy being gay. She always imagined him falling for a nice girl like Jess and starting a family of their own here in La-Push where she could see them everyday.

"Mom say something please." Seth whispered.

Sue stood from the bed and walked to the window and looked over the forest. Already her daughter was unnatural being able to change into a wolf. Leah had admitted to her mother that since she had shifted for the first time her body seemed to have frozen and the chances of having children anytime soon was out of the question. Now her only son who was the one chance to carry on the family name was telling her he liked boys not girls.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes mom I'm sure."

"Okay well then I guess you have made your mind up. There is nothing me or anyone else can say to change your mind."

"Mom its not a matter of me waking up one day and deciding I would like boys more than girls. I was born this way. You're right nothing will change my mind."

"So do I know this boy?" Sue went to her son and took his hand in hers giving his hand a comforting squeeze.

"I don't want to tell you yet. But you will love him mom. He stole my first kiss tonight."

Sue's hand went up to her mouth. Her baby had his first kiss. It was then she realised that Seth was right it didn't matter if he loved a girl or a boy as long as he was happy that was all that mattered.

"Well was it good." she giggled. Seth blushed and nodded.
