Hey guys sorry about not getting this up a few days ago. But I found out Friday that I had a test today Monday so I was studying like a crazy women. Good news paid off did really well on it. Anyways this is the chapter I lost the last half to a computer crash so it's not what I intend it to be because I couldn't remember most of it. But I am happy with it that's the good thing. I should, since I have no test and little homework and less work shifts this week, have another chapter up this weekend. For those of you who follow my other Seth story I hope to have one up then too having a bit of a block right now with it. But I hope to come up with something soon. So back to the story enjoy and review for a preview of chapter 16.
Seth
Chapter 15
As soon as I hit the tree line I phased back and pulled my shorts on. I ran to the house but only to stop when I saw Leah and Paul going at it on the side of the house. Sam was holding Leah back while Embry and Jake was holding Paul. I had no idea why they were yelling at each other but knowing them one of them said something and the other went off. Shaking my head I went over to Sam and helped him push Leah back to the trees away from Paul. Sam let her go and looked at me. I nodded at him that I had Leah and he could go deal with Paul. After Sam left I turned to Leah for a reason for the yelling.
"What happened?"
"Noting I don't want to talk about it."
"Leah we need to talk about it everyone going to want to know what happened."
"You know Paul he gets on my nerves. I told him to leave me alone and he kept at it and we both snapped."
"Ok I get it but did you have to go at him like that."
"Yes I am not going to let those guys walk over me just because I am a girl."
"Alright well let's go see if Paul is clamed down. Can you go back around him?"
"Yeah as long as he keeps his big fat mouth shut."
We both went back to the side of the house to where it all started. The guys had let Paul go and he was pacing around. I tuned to Jake to see what was up." So what's up with him?"
"We called Rachel."
"Oh this is going to be good."
At about that time Rachel showed up and went straight to Paul.
"What did you do this time Paul?" And Paul of course cowered down from Rachel's screaming.
"Leah and I got into it again."
"What again what is it like the third time now. You need to learn how to control your temper I can't keep doing this. Every time you get upset at someone I can't always be there to yell at you. I know I help clam you down but this is enough. Ok now was it just yelling or did you two really get into it this time."
"Just yelling. I am so sorry you had to come over here I didn't want you to the guys just called you but they did it when I was not paying attention."
"Just say you're sorry to Leah and I will be happy ok."
"Fine I will. I am sorry Leah."
We all were trying not to laugh at Paul getting yelled at by Rachel who was a good foot shorter and so much tinier than him. But for all honesty she was one of the only ways to get him to clam down. We where all like that but with Paul's temper it was just easier to get Rachel to clam him. At this I decided to go get some much needed sleep after the morning I had. I told everyone I was going home and headed to my house. I didn't get to far I came through the back door and tried to go to my room and lay down but after falling on to my bed two minutes later mom came in and sat on my bed.
"Seth I want to talk to you about this girl."
"Mom why."
"I talked to Billy about this and what he went through with Rachel and I am concerned about what he told me. This bond is strong and I think you understate how strong it can be. From how we understand imprinting it's to make better wolfs to pass on the gene of the protectors. Years ago you and the other boys would have been considered men and this would not be a problem but now things are different."
"Mom please just get to your point I am really tired."
"Fine I will tell you plain and blunt there better not be any babies coming into this house for at lest another five years."
"Oh no mom not that talk again you did this years go we went over this."
"No Seth we didn't you weren't a wolf then and imprinted things are different now. Form what Billy told me this urge to pass this gene along is so strong it overrides common sense. I don't want you and her in a position you don't need to be in. You don't need to be a father so young I don't want you two to have to deal with that. You know I had Leah when I was eighteen and even then your dad and I were not prepared to handle that. I want you two to have a better future than what your dad and I have."
"Mom please lets not have the conservation again if it makes you feel any better I am not even thinking about that right now. I agree with you with everything."
"Please just wait a while that's all I wanted to hear."
"Yes mom I will."
"Ok then have a good nap. Oh and you should take her on a date soon make thing more official she might like that."
"That's not a bad idea thanks."
I finally got to sleep for a while and was able to run around the rez again before going to go see Katie. I was making a loop around her house which was just outside the rez every other loop around. I wanted to make sure that she was ok and that no vamps were getting anywhere close to her. The guys all thought I was crazy but they could think that all they wanted there girls were safe in La Push where we ran all the time. I made my last loop around La Push before heading straight towards to Katie's house Jake came on to let me off.
So Seth were you going. It was Jake but I had a feeling he already knew where I was heading.
To see Katie
Oh course. Bella's excited to see her at school tomorrow apparently everyone is worried about her.
Really what do they think happened?
That the big bad wolf ate her.
Very funny Paul.
But really what are go going to do once you get to her house. Paul asked while sending me images of him and Rachel while everyone tried to bleach it out of there minds
Just want to see her before we have to both go to school.
You mean your not staying there all night, Embry asked.
No I am going home.
Really after what.
Shut it guys you don't know anything. I made my way to the tree line by her window and pulled my shorts on to make it to her window. When I got to the tall tree that grows outside her window I saw that it was pushed up and was wide open. I didn't want to scare her by just jumping into her room so I grabbed a few rocks off the ground and threw one through her window. I then threw two others right after the other trying to get her attention. When I was about to through another rock she stood there in her open window. She was smiling down at me the best sight I could ever see.
"Hey can I come up?"
"Yeah but how?"
"Step back." I climbed the tree up to the branch that was right next to her window and stepped out on to the branch. I was holding on to the branch above and swung into the open window feet first landing without a sound on her bed room floor. It had been to long since I had had her in my arms so I quickly pulled her in to my arms for a hug and I could not help but kiss her cheek since she did not seam to mind. I took her hand so we could go over to her bed and sit down.
"So how was dinner with your mom?"
"It was ok she asked a lot about you."
"Yeah I thought she would. Was it to horrible?"
"No not really just embarrassing."
"Embarrassing really." I smiled as I remembered the extremely embarrassing conversation I had with my mom. I pulled her back to lay down with me and I wrapped my arms around her just one more time tonight.
"Yeah."
"Well how?"
"I don't know I don't like talking about boys with my mom."
"Well if it helps I got asked twenty questions by the guys. They won't give up on anything and then a talk from my mom."
"It helps a little." She was smiling at me now for my embarrassment.
"I shouldn't stay long we both have school and I don't want us to get caught."
"I know I want you to stay but I understand."
"I was thinking earlier do you want to go on a date this weekend." I knew she would say yes but I could not help be scared to death that she would say no.
"Really where?"
"Not sure yet but I want it to be a surprise to you."
"Ok just tell me when and where."
"As soon as I know you will know. Now you better get some sleep and me too it's late." I stood up so she could get into bed I pulled the blankets up over her.
"You know I am tempted to stay here. But Mom is waiting for me. I will call you tomorrow before I go on patrol. And before I head home I will come by and see you." Just knowing I was going to have to stand tonight and school tomorrow without her was making me want to change schools to just be with her.
"Ok I would like that. Night."
"Good night hun." I gave her another hug before leaving and kissed her good night. I headed to the window to jump down and head home. I crawled in to my window to go to bed as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out thankfully mom wakes me up for school. And she was not waking me up nicely today at all. First it as the normal "Seth get up" then the light switch was turned on and more wake up yelling. Well the thing that finally got me out of bed was Leah walking in my room and flipping the mattress with me on it I rolled off my bed and onto the floor hitting my head on the table beside my bed on the way down.
"Get up Seth I patrolled till five I just have two hours of sleep in me get up so I can sleep for a few more hours till I have to work at the store. If you don't get up so mom can stop yelling at you so help me I will pick you up and shove you out the door."
"Alright Leah I get the point I am getting up and don't flip my mattress again."
"I will flip it every time I need too." Leah slammed her door on her way back to bed and I heard her flop back down on her bed. I stood up from the floor and picked the mattress up to put it back where it belonged. I then looked around my room for some clean cloths. Oh course there wasn't any again but there was a clicking of shoes on the floor and mom stuck her hand in the door to threw me a pair of jeans socks and a t shirt. "There Seth now get dressed so you won't make the rest of the guys late."
So I dressed a fast as I could and then went to the kitchen and ate the huge plate of eggs bacon and pancakes that mom had made for me. Just as I was finishing off the pancakes I herd the guys pull up and honk the horn at me. I ran to my room and grabbed my bag from the floor and headed out the door calling bye to mom as I went out the door. I crammed into the back seat of Jake's car with Embry and Quil while Paul was in the front he must have been at Jake's last night with Rachel. The short ride to the school was silent we were all uncomfortable being crammed in that small car. I was defiantly not looking forward to today at all it was the first day in a week I had not spent every hour with Katie and already it was killing me. I needed something so I pulled out my phone to text to her before we both had to be in class.
GOOD MORNING BEAUTIFUL :-)
HEY GOOD MORNING TO YOU TOO
I MISS YOU ALREADY
I MISS YOU TOO WILL I SEE YOU LATER TODAY
YEP AFTER I PATROL I WILL COME BY
I CAN'T WAIT
ME TOO
SORRY I HAVE TO GO TO CLASS THE BELL RANG CAN I TEXT YOU AT LUNCH
SURE MY PHONE IS ON SILENT SO TEXT ANYTIME YOU WANT
YOU TOO
We drove up to the school at this point and I had to climb out of the car. We started towards the lockers of the school mine was away from the other guys so I was alone. It was easy for me to make my way to my locker half the school was scared of me and the other guys so they mostly stayed out of our way. I made it to my locker and shoved my books in only keeping what I needed for my first two classes. So making my way to my first class was easy.
I walked in and took my set in the back and took out my stack of work to turn in I was checking to make sure my name was on all of them when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out to find I had a picture message. The text on it said, MISSING YOU EVEN MORE THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS. It was the picture she took the night at the bonfire I had my arm around her and we where leaning close together and there was a big smile on both our faces. The fire was making an orange glow on both of our faces and it just made her more beautiful.
I was about to send a message back but I was so intent on looking at the picture that I didn't even register that someone was standing right in front of me. Before I new it they snatched the phone out of my hands and took a few steps out of my reach. I looked up to see Jason the idiot who thought just because he was the same size as me he could still pick on me. I am to easy going to yell at him or anything but the thing he didn't know is he may be just as tall and big as me but I was way stronger than him.
"Jason give me my phone back."
"Just wanted to see what made you so happy all the sudden." He looked at my phone and saw the picture that Katie had sent me along with the message. "Wow who is this?"
"My girl friend."
"No way that's your girl friend".
"It is she's the reason I have been gone all last week she was in the hospital."
"Still no way she is your girl friend she's too hot for you and she looks older than you too."
"Look I am not about to explain anything about her to you. Just give my phone back."
"You think you can send this too me so I can have something good to look at at night. Or better yet can you send her to me at night so I can have something good to sleep with. Dam she's hot." That was it I snapped the easy going Seth went out the window and the wolf was awake and he was mad. I didn't even know what I was doing. I snatched my phone out of his hand and grabbed Jason's hoodie and pushed him against the back wall. "You will never meet her and you will show her respect that every women deserves." I was staring in to his eyes that I could now see where wide with fear, fear of me. He was just standing there in front of me with his eyes wide nodding his head like a bobble head on a dash board.
"Mr. Clearwater let him go," that snapped me out of it real fast. It was Mr. Johnson our biology teacher and now I was in trouble. I let Jason go and took a few steps back trying to cage to wolf inside me. My arms and hands were shaking I took a few deep breaths to try and control myself the last thing I needed was to phase in the middle of class now that would be hard to explain and cover up. A huge wolf would take up the whole room and possible hurt everyone in it as well. Last thing I want would be to hurt the very people I am trying to protect.
"What is going on here?"
After a deep breath to keep clam I started to explain everything to "Mr. Johnson. My girl friend sent me a picture message I checked it before class and while I was looking at it Jason took my phone from me. Then he said some things I didn't like about her. He was being very disrespectful not only to her but to every girl. Iam sorry Mr. Johnson I just snapped."
"Well you two can try to fix this after school in detention today. Both of you".
So I spent the rest of my day at school getting stared at for snapping at Jason. The level headed shy Seth Clearwater tried to beat up Jason. I was the talk of the school again just like when I first phased. At lunch when I was sitting with Jake, Embry, Quil, Jared and Paul I got it from them too. The whole you could have blown the secrete, you're the one with the most control you never lose it what's with you. So I lost it one time at lest I didn't phase in the middle of the class. Paul had almost phased in front of people so many times. So not only did I have to deal with Jake getting on to me but someone told Sam about it too he meet us at jakes when we got out of school. We all got out of the car and started towards him.
"Seth come on we gotta talk." So I had to follow him out to the tree line I knew what was coming the don't do it again keep your temper in check and all that. "Jared told me that you lost control today and pushed a guy up against a wall."
"Yeah I did but Sam he took my phone and was saying bad things about Katie."
"It doesn't matter. We protect the people here we don't use what we are to hurt the very people we protect. You're the most level headed one in the pack I thought I didn't have to worry about this with you. I know you care about her we are all protective of our imprints its natural for everyon but you have to know what to just let go."
"I know Sam really I know I am still adjusting to being with kite. It's just that she brings out things in me especially the protectiveness. I just need time to learn how to control my emotions when it comes to her."
"Well learn and fast no more of this losing control at school."
"Alright."
"Now go get your homework done and report for patrols in about 2 hours." I did as Sam said I went home got some food from mom and sat down and did my homework. I was thinking about starting to go to Katie's to do homework together before patrols but I would go do that tomorrow. After I finished I hugged mom and headed to my room threw my shirt on my bed and pulled out a pair of my cut off shorts pulling them on. I went out to the woods phased and started running circles around La Push. Not long after I started patrolling I felt my phone vibrate in my pants pocket. It tickled my back leg but against the protest of the guys I phased back check my phone. I had a message from Katie I was worried something was wrong I check my voice mail she just missed me it made me want to get to her that much quicker. So I phased back to finish my patrolling but the guys picked on me the rest of the night. I couldn't stop thinking about Katie and it was starting to drive them crazy.
At about ten Jared came to relive me and I could run to Katie's house. As soon as I hit the woods near her house I phased back and pulled my shorts on almost falling over in my hurry. I picked up a few small rocks off the ground and threw one at her window. When I didn't hear it hit glass I knew her window was open so I threw another higher to hit the glass I waited and her head stuck out through the window.
Hey
Hey iam comeing up back up I don't want to hit you. Just like before I climbed the tree to get into her window. Before I knew it she was in my arms again holding me tight. "I missed her so much today I just held her tight to me this was becoming a every meeting thing."
"I got your message I came right over when I was done. My phone was in my pocket of my shorts that I had tied to my leg when it vibrates it tickles."
"You had it with you when you where running. Do you always do that?"
"No I wanted it with me incase something happened to you. I phased back and check my message before finishing patrolling." I wanted to know if she was ever hurt or ever really needed me.
"I was fine just missing you that's all."
"I missed you too. I just about drove the guy's crazy thinking about you." I started to walk over to her bed so we could sit down together. She leaned on to me and I just kept my arms around her pulling her close to me.
"Oh how was your first day back."
"Was interesting I got detention today for the first time." I thought why not tell her.
"Seth what did you do?" She sounded worried not made thankfully not another made person mom and Leah where mad enough at me. So I just pulled her lay down with me she looked a lot more tired than she was letting on.
"Jason one of the guys in my class took my phone from me saw the text you sent me with the picture. He said some things about you that I didn't like."
"Please tell me didn't get into a fight."
"No I didn't I just lost control for a second. I am very protective of you and Jason is just a jerk thinks every girl wants him and he thinks he can have every girl. But never mind that how was your day back."
"It was ok mike asked me out again." That didn't surprise me Jake showed me what happened when him and Bella went to the movies and this Mike went along. Now that Edward was back he was after Katie but he was to late.
"Really?"
"Yeah I told him I was with you he didn't talk to me for the rest of the day. Oh and we where the talk of the school to day too." This made me laugh because we where at the res school too.
"We where the talk to at the res school today too."
"Well aren't we just so popular."
"Yeah hopefully it will blow by I am going to try and not blow up at Jason again. But I think I scared him enough that he will leave us alone. But you should get some sleep we both have to get up early for school."
"Are you staying." I wanted to but not when we had school maybe Friday or Saturday night I would.
"For a little bit." I laid there with her lessoning to her breathing like I had some many nights before. I was so aware of her heart and breathing that I could count the minutes by them. Her sent surrounded me and left it branded in my nose. Her skin was so soft under my fingers the paleness under my tanned skin. Such a contrast but so perfect but this made me think. All of the other guys imprinted on Native American girls from La Push or up in Maikh. She was only one that wasn't from a reservation. I was going to have to ask her if anyone in her family married a Native American.
I was brought out of my thinking when I looked at the clock it was past eleven I need to get home. I slid out from under Katie and went to pick up my bag. On top of it was one of the clean shirts I had. I picked it up and smelled Katie's sent it was all over it. So I walked over to her and placed the shirt right by her hands that where resting by her face. I kissed her cheek and told her "Good night hun I will see you tomorrow" before picking up my bag and jumping out the window to run home for the night.
