Chapter 21
Seth
Ok so I'm back with a chapter for you guys. Thank you so much for sticking with me it was a long semester and finals week was horrible. So now I have a few weeks break and I can start writing again before classes get to bad again. So a little up date this is Seth's point of view for Katie's prom. Next will be the graduation party I hope to have those up some time this week. Oh and for a Christmas treat there is a short Leah point of view in the middle of this for you guys waiting so long for something. And I fly home Monday so I get a whole day in an airport to write and I have a nice three hour layover. Plus good for you guys bad for me I'm going home to the middle of nowhere Louisiana and Mississippi and I only have one book to keep my busy so lots of writing. Last thing before I get to the story just a thank you to everyone who has been waiting for me to write something I know it's been since October but it was a necessary thing I had to do. I'm going to try and not have to do this next semester but with it being my last semester in college I might need to do it. So back to the story for you guys please review and let me know what you think.
I was spending more time with Katie then ever now that she had a car she would come over a lot, and I would come to her house. It was getting close to the end of the school year for both of us, and we where both trying to wrap things up. Luckily my teachers where letting us make up work that we have missed, and I was spending my time studying for my biology final and doing the last bit of make up assignments. Katie sat next to me on her bed helping me get through it.
"How's the studying coming on the bio?" I was so confused at this point it was pointless to try to sort it out.
"Bad I just don't get it I have never had."
"Science isn't your best subject is it?"
"No history is science is just too hard it makes no sense and why do we need to know all this anyway. I am never going to use stuff like flower structure, chemistry, or any of it at all."
"Alright we will try to go over it again but lets take a break I think you need it." Yeah I needed it I wanted to desperately to just stop but I had to pass otherwise be stuck in La Push longer with out Katie. So I followed her lead of pushing my books away and leaning back and wrapping my arms around my beautiful imprint.
"So are you looking forward to Friday? I already went and pick up my tux and mom brought you a really pretty flower to wear."
"I am excited tomorrow Ang and I are getting our nails done. And Friday afternoon we are getting our hair all done up too."
"Really nails and hair." Katie isn't a very girly girl so I was surprised when she was going to go that far for prom.
"Yeah I figured its my prom why not I only have one prom."
"Yes but don't forget we still have my prom too. Which will be in like two years."
"I can't forget that it stays on my mind all the time."
"What's wrong?" There was a hint in her voice that that was a sad thing.
"I sent my acceptance letter to Tacoma today. I'm just worried about when I leave to go to school. I had been thinking about where to go all week I had to decide the dates where coming up and I needed to know what I was doing. And Tacoma seamed like the best choice it's close to you and has the programs I want." She was going to cry I could just feel it I didn't want her that far away if I could help it but it was needed.
"That's good I can run to you every Friday it will be fine. And it makes where I'm going that much easier to decide." I wiped the tears off her cheeks that managed to fall even against her will.
"I was thinking about going only part time for a while so that we can finish together. And so I can work and see you."
"That sounds ok I am pretty sure by the time I get out of high school things here will be pretty clam."
"I hope so well why don't we get back to work." I knew she just didn't want to think about her graduation and what would happen in August when she had to leave. So I sat there as she tried to help explain my biology to me again for what felt like the hundredth time tonight. Finally it clicked when she dummed it down really far for me. I knew she would make a great science teacher after she got out of school. When her mom finally said Katie should take me home I didn't want to leave but we both had class tomorrow. So when we got in the car and finally made it to my drive I sat there to prolong my time with her.
I had been trying to get the nerve to kiss her again since our date but never could it was like the rain helped me make my move. We both got out of Katie's car and walking up to the porch putting my bag down I took Katie's hand and sat on the swing on the porch. Like always Katie snuggled closer to me and I could not help it I smiled at her. She was perfect I couldn't ask for anyone better to imprint on.
"I wanted to spend some time with you I won't be able to see you tomorrow I'm paroling extra so I can have all day Friday and Saturday morning off."
"Oh so tomorrow night your not coming by?" She sounded disappointed and I couldn't like her be disappointed it just hurt too much.
"Probably not but I will try to come by for a few minutes if you want me too."
"I don't have any thing Friday just meeting up with Ang at three for our nails so you can come by after you finish like you always do. I don't care how late."
"Alright then just leave your window open."
I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and I saw a small blush on her cheeks even after all these weeks she still blushes. She turned to look at me I could see myself in her eyes and her nose was right there she was beautiful right then. "I'm sorry about our date I wanted it to be special and the rain ruined it. I'm going to make it up to you, you deserve better."
"I enjoyed our date and it was special." I saw her hand move and it went up to her necklace that I gave her the sandy color wolf that was just like me always hung around her neck.
"Well this time the rain won't ruin it." I leaned in to kiss her before I lost my nerve it was just like last time soft sweet and wonderful. Her sent filled my nose and I lost it between her sent and the feel of her lips on mine. I slid my arms around her small waist to encircle her in my arms pulling her close to me. I just closed my eyes and let go a little of the tight holed I had on myself. Eventually after a while we pulled away, both of us laughing at how both of our kisses seamed to end up being longer than what they should be. She laded her head on my shoulder while I kept my arms around her and slid my fingers through her hair.
"I think I need to learn to control myself when it comes to you." I told her as I played with her hair.
"Yeah me too."
"You should probably head home its getting late. And if I don't see you tomorrow night I will be at your house at six Friday. Mom is bring me over so that she can do the whole picture thing I think she just as excited as I am about this." I didn't think mom was excited about it I knew she was I could see it on her face when I told her I needed to get a tux for Katie's prom.
"Alright I will go. If your not coming by tomorrow can you try to call so I wont stay up all night waiting for you."
"I will." She gave me a quick kiss and got up to leave.
"I will see you later." I watched as she walked to her car and then got in started it up to pull out of the drive. I saw her wave as I got up to get my book bag and head inside. I had the night off tonight to get caught up with homework. Sam wanted to make sure most of the pack finished school because educated protecters are better than a bunch of high school drop out protectors. Paul was trying to get caught up to graduate this year; Jared is trying to pass his Jr year. While Guill, Jake, and Embry, where just trying to get through there sophomore year. Thankfully Leah and Sam where done with school but being a wolf wasn't going to stop my sister. Leah started online classes in January and has still some how kept up. So a majority of the pack was not only doing patrols and fighting vampires but dealing with the stress of school as well.
So that night I quietly walked up to my room put my books away and went back to the kitchen. I found a note from mom laying on the kitchen table: Knew you where with Katie doing homework there's dinner in the fridge for you. Leah is out on patrol and I'm at Charlie's, Love mom. So I had the house to myself for a while well might as well go check in with the guys to see how things are going. So after I put my plate of food in the microwave warmed up my dinner. After sitting in front of the TV and watching some NFL network while I ate I headed out to the back door. Throwing my shirt on the railing to the steps as I went out the door. After running to the trees pulling my shorts off and phasing I took a run around the Rez. Leah and Jake where patrolling that night so things where a bit calmer than usual when Leah was running.
"Hey baby brother how did the studying go?"
"I'm not a baby anymore and it went fine Katie helped me with my biology. Anything happening tonight?"
"Naw man just the same things lately. She hasn't come back in weeks but Sam wants to keep patrols up. He think she is messing with us making us think she won't come back and then when we let our guard down come running back into town." Jake said as I paced in the trees.
"Yeah would be nice if I could at lest chase a blood sucker for a change." And this led my mind to think about Katie and her graduation.
"Wha man Bella invited Katie to the Cullen's house?"
"Opps didn't mean to think about that I just don't know if I should go."
Gag though Leah
"Bella invited me but not sure if I am still invited after the other day."
"Jake you didn't last thing we need is another parasite after us." Leah of course hated the Cullen's and Bella for many reasons.
"Yeah well I'm not sure about going," I thought to them.
"Well I might go so you can come too."
"Oh no my brother is not going into a blood suckers house. What if you two lose control and phase right there in front of the all of forks high school."
"Leah my imprint is going to be there if I decided to go I'm going she keeps me clam."
"What about that thing at school when you lost control because of her and Jake doesn't have an imprint to clam him."
"That was right after I imprinted on her and Bella clams Jake down."
"Doesn't matter little brother your not going."
"I'm going if I want to Leah and you're not going to stop me. Now I'm heading to bed good night." I phased back pulled my shorts and walked back in the back door. Climbing the stairs I pick up my shirt as I made me way to my room threw my shirt on the floor by my already over flowing hamper. Mom was still gone checking the time I realized it wasn't to late to shower. So I took off to the bathroom and turned on the cold water adding only a little warm water. My shower was short but I felt better, wrapping a towel around my waist I headed down the hallway to my room. I passed mom's room and saw the light on so I called a good night to mom before I headed to bed. Pulling on a pair of shorts I fell into bed and was asleep in minutes.
Friday came faster than I thought and now it was time for Katie's prom. Mom had picked up my tux which had to be special ordered yesterday. She also picked up the flower as well it sat in a clear box in the fridge. I could not believe that I was going to a prom right now. But yet I couldn't wait to see Katie in that dress even though I didn't know what it looked like only that it was red I knew it would be beautiful on her. After a shower I pulled the tux out of my closet and laded it on my bed. Unzipping it I pulled the pants out to pull them on before I heard a knock at my door. "Come in."
"Hey Seth."
"Hey."
"Mind if I just sit with you."
"Naw, just getting ready." Leah came in and sat there on my bed watching me as I pulled out the jacket shirt bow tie and cummerbund. There was so many pieces to it that I began to think I would never be able to stand wearing it.
Leah
I sat on Seth's bed as I watched him get ready for Katie's prom. My baby brother isn't a baby anymore he's grown with a girl that I know he is going to marry some day. She was going to be part of this family and I had accepted that already. But what was hard to accept was that it may never happen to me ever.
How was I spouse to find someone when I'm so broken? Who's going to want to put the pieces back together of my heart when Sam broke them so small some may never be found again. But looking at Seth I see that maybe I can find happiness someday. That it's not hopeless at lest not completely. All Seth did was go on a walk down the beach and found his imprint. As Seth tried to do his bow tie and couldn't seam to get it right. I stood up and pushed his hands away and clipped the tie on and strained it. I looked down at his hands they where shaking. It was hard to think that even though Seth looks like a twenty something year old guy he was still just a fifth teen year old teenager.
I really had missed a lot the past few months when it came to him. Here he was growing up before my eyes and I missed it because I was so locked up in my problems. I was his big sister and here he was taking care of me more than him. Every since dad died Seth has taken on a lot being inside his head I see that he feels he has to take care of mom and I. And that with being a wolf he feels he actually has the power to take care of us.
I can see the way he looks at me and mom when things get tough and I know right after dad died we both heard mom in her room at night crying. He's different now happier than he has been since we lost dad. Katie did that for him and I hope they stay happy together. I have seen the way he looks at her and how when she's around he always has to be close to her or watching her the whole time. I know that in about four year's time I will be doing this again at his wedding. Watching him nervously try to dress in cloths that he hates to marry the girl he loves. I decided that right then I would try and move on so that I could be truly happy one day and so that I could be the sister that he deserved.
Seth
I tried to get that stupid bow tie to sit straight but I couldn't my hands where shacking and it had noting to do with phasing. I was about to take my girl to prom and it scared me more than chasing vamps did. I heard Leah stand up and move towards me. Moving my hands out of her way she straightened my tie and looked me in the eyes. I could see her eyes water and unshed tears sitting in her eyes. I know she would never let anyone see her cry. I pulled my sister into a hug I know she was still hurting everyday but she was still Leah. "Thank you," I told her as I let her go. I stepped back and pulled my jacket on over my shirt, "So how do I look?"
"Handsome."
"Any advice?"
"Be nice, dance with her, get her door, go get her punch, and most of all don't lost your temper. Oh and if there's any hanky panky be safe." And with that Leah put her hand in her jeans pocket and pulled out a black square wrapper and placed it in my hand. It took me a whole two seconds to realize what it was.
"No, Leah I don't need this take it back its going to giver her the wrong impression."
"Keep it you will need it some point in time like mom said no babies. Oh and make sure you…"
"Leah no shut up stop talking I'm not having this conversation with you. Thank you for the thought but no thank you now take this back." I took it and maded sure I put it back in her pocket no way I wanted anyone knowing about this but the guys will. Since I was ready I went down stairs to let mom know I was ready to go head over to Katie's. I found mom in the kitchen pulling things out for dinner for Leah and herself. When I stopped in the doorway mom kept humming to herself while she washed some vegetables for there salad.
"Mom?" She turned around while wiping her hands on a dish towel she stopped when she saw me.
"Oh Seth you look so grown up." I could see tears in her eyes as she took me in all the way from my face to my shoes. She rushed over to me wrapping her arms around me and pulling me into a hug so tight I could swear she had some wolf strength in her. "Your so handsome I am sure she will think the same."
"I think your bias."
"Maybe just a little. Now take this for dinner and get some pictures too." Mom put money in my hand. And here take my camera as well take lots of pictures you could get them printed out and put in an album for her as a graduation present.
"Thanks mom that's a good idea can I borrow the camera for a while so I can get more pictures."
"Oh course, now let's go get your girl." Mom handed me Katie's flower
"Wait I'm coming too." Leah was running down the stairs with shoes on and came to a stop right near me and mom. "I gotta see him off to his first prom. Well let's go." So we all go in the car and took the short drive to Katie's house. I was so nervous about tonight I just didn't want to screw up her prom for her. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't even know we pulled up to Katie's house. Mom had pulled up to her house right next to Katie's mom's car and put the car in park to turn the car off. "Well ready to go get your girl?," mom asked
"Yeah."
"Everything will be fine you look like your going to a funereal not a prom." I just gave mom a small smile while I stepped out of the car and had Leah get our the back seat behind me. All three of us went up the steps and stood by the door. I pressed the door bell and waited for Katie's mom to get there. It didn't take long for Katie's mom to open the door and invite the three of us in. "Hi Mrs. Brewer this is my mom and my sister Leah."
"Hi nice to met you two. Katie is finishing getting ready it should just be a few more minutes." I heard clicking heels that told me Katie was walking around up stairs. My heart started to pound as it came closer to the stairs. Then she took the first step down and I caught my first look at her the red dress flowed all the way to the floor her right hand was at her side holding the dress up as she came down the stairs. The dress glittered all over and it hugged every little curve she had. Her hair was half up and curled around her face and down her back. When she finally looked up at me I saw her cute nervous smile. But what surprised me was the make up never seeing her with it on I was surprised that she could look more beautiful. The make up on her eyes made them stand out and the lip gloss on her lips made me want to kiss her right then and there.
In my staring at her I didn't realize that I had moved to the bottom of the steps or that I have stared at her the whole time she was walking down the steps. When she was finally next to me she looked up and gave me her stunning smile that did me in. It took everything I had to not pull her in my arms and kiss her senseless. So I settled for giving her my hand to try and pull her closer to me. I didn't get her to myself for long her mom hugged her and I could see tears in her mother's eyes just like my mom.
We then took about a million pictures in every way imaginable. When Katie was trying to pin my flower on my jacket I about had a heart attack with her having that sharp pin. I didn't care if she stabbed me with it I would heal in seconds it was her fingers I was worried about. We where finally done and could leave and we hugged everyone I thought I could have her to myself for a while but Leah pulled Katie to a stop. She whispered something in her ear that I pretended not to hear. I gave Leah a small smile before I took Katie out of the door. We walked to her car and I held her door open for her even if she was driving I would still do it for her. I went around and quickly got in and we headed off to the restraint thankfully I called ahead earlier that week.
Walking into the restraint with her hand in mine I gave the hostess my name from the reservations I made the week before. Thankfully we got a booth in the back where we had some privacy or the feel of it. I kept her hand in mine for as long as I could. I loved the feel of her hand in mine so small and smooth and the nail polish brought out her small nails against her pale skin. I only let her hand go when our food came she had some vegetable and pasta dish while I just had a steak and a backed potato. I ate some at home as to keep me from being hungry all night and not having to eat so much at the restraints. I watched Katie eat her pasta with more grace than the first time we has pasta together. Her arm was just about healed I studied the cut as I held her hand after we ate her black stitches stood out against her skin with the pink line right under it. I thumbed her ring I gave her the small wooden bead with the back lines of two wolfs howling. The exact copy of what was tattooed on my arm and the arm of all my brothers and Leah. I then noticed she was also wearing the wolf necklace as well even in her prom dress.
"Your wearing both even now."
"Yeah I told you I wouldn't take them off."
"Well I have a surprise for you."
"Really?"
"Yep." I had told the waitress when I called to bring out a special dessert for us a little while after we finished out dinner. I hadn't told her what the surprise was but I do remember her telling me it was a favorite of hers. I asked that they make the strawberry shortcake a bit bigger than usually so that we could share it instead of having two orders. When the waitress set the plate in front of us and I saw the three layers of strawberries and cake with wipe cream I was very excited that I did this for her. I pick up the two clean spoons keeping one for my self and handing the other to Katie.
"So this is the surprise?" Katie asked as she took a spoon full of strawberries cake and whip cream and raised it to her mouth. I watched as she closed her eyes as to savor the taste.
"Yes I knew how much you like this so I called ahead and asked for them to make it for us."
"Thank you." I saw her cheeks turn a sight pink.
"It's the lest I could do after the rain ruined our first date." I still felt so bad about the rain interrupting out date but we did kiss.
"It didn't ruin it. How many people can say there first kiss was in the rain."
"Good point. You know that was my first kiss?"
"Really?"
"Yeah was it yours?" I thought we might be able to share that with each other.
"No." After a short pause, "yours was better by a long run and I love you not him."
"How long where you two together?"
"Five months it ended not to long before we moved here. After dad died I was a wreak I would cry out of no where. I missed my dad and he couldn't figure out why I was so upset and why I was always on the verge of tears. He got tired of trying to clam me and help me through it so he baled on me. I talked to one of my friends back in virginia he knocked up the girl he went out with after he broke up with me. So I guess its all good that could be me if I stayed there and with him."
I took her hand and kissed it, "He was an asshole how someone could do that to you when all you needed was someone to help you through it. We should go." I pulled my wallet out to pay and had to insist on paying. I wanted to this to be a really special night. I took her hand as we stood up and lead her out the door to her car.
Once we got to the only hotel big enough to hold an event like prom I watched as Katie pulled in a space and put the car in park. We went to the line of students that where waiting to get in and stood in the line with them. Katie's thin dress did noting to stop the wind from chilling her she pulled her thin sweater tight around her as the wind picked up. With my wolf senses I could tell she was freezing and it was killing me to see her that cold. So I pulled off my jacket since I didn't need it I put the large jacket over her small thin shoulders. I ran my hand down her arm while she looked up at me and gave me one of her dazzling smiles the one that melts my heart. I watched her as Katie pulled our tickets out of her small bag and handed them to a stern looking woman at a table just inside the door. What she asked next didn't surprised me at all some people who have known me my whole life have a heard time recognizing me.
"Katie how old is your date?"
"Seth's fifth teen he goes to school in La Push he's a sophomore there."
"He doesn't look fifth teen."
I reached in to my pack pocket and pulled out my warn dirty wallet and pulled out my permit which had a current picture, "Katie drove us here I cant drive." The lady stared at my permit and then to me thinking over everything she saw.
"Ok you too go in but I will have my eye on you two I'm not convinced your as old as you say you are." I was really surprised at what forks prom was. I opened the door to the room and held it for Katie as she walked threw. In the small ball room there was a table with food and drinks, a dace floor and a DJ. They had tables with white table cloths and black and sliver balloons everywhere. Katie introduced me to two of her friends and we all went to sit at a table together Katie handed me my jacket which I put on the back of my chair incase she got cold again.
I didn't want to put that jacket back on it made it harder to move. Cloths where an option for me now a days and only when I had to wear a full set of cloths is when I went somewhere. The high button up shirt with the tie felt like I was chocking. I felt like a dog with a coke collar always trying to loosen the collar up. Soon all of Katie's friends where meting me and I met more and more people. I got the usually reactions the hot looks from girls and slightly afraid looks especially from that Mike person. I heard a slow song start and everyone drifted off to go dance some with little convincing other with more. I took Katie's hands to pull her up to her feet and asked her to dance with me. She bit her pretty lips before she told me yes I knew she wouldn't want to fall on her face or trip so I held her up keeping her on her feet. I took her hand and walked her on to a small spot on the dance floor. I kept one hand and put my other on her hip Katie was staring at the floor so I leaned in to her, "Relax just follow me and you will be fine I have you." I felt her take a step to me she let out the breath she took in and spilled her sweet sent all over me. I used my hands to guide her in the steps just like I did in the clearing. I kept the steps simple and she caught on fast after a few minutes she leaned her head on me. She made me smile at how at ease she was with me with all her friends around. Her friend that I think her name was Angelina came and grabbed her hand and said something about going to the bathroom. Really girls couldn't go alone to the bathroom. Was there someone who was going to kidnap them if they went alone? It must be something from every girl's childhood where you never go anywhere alone you always have a buddy with you. But Katie kissed me on my cheek blushing a little bit and she went off with her friend in the direction of the bathroom
Ang's boy friend Ben came over to me and we started talking about baseball apparently it was both of our favorite sports. I also found out that both Ang and Ben where going to Settle where Katie and I planed to go after I graduated. It made me feel good that when we did get there Katie would know someone there. I watched Katie and Ang make there way back from the bathroom to us Katie stood next to me and I just pulled her closer to me. Soon after they got back a blonde girl I think her name was Jessica pulled Ang and Katie on to the dance floor they both pulled Ben and I with them. We spent the rest of the night dancing and laughing. I had never see Katie like this having fun letting go and laughing so much her cheeks hurt. She was beautiful like that. After a few songs Katie's face was flushed bright red she told me she was getting a quick drink and was off before I could offer to get it for her. I watched her as she poured her a glass and smelled it, it was cute the way she tried to bring it to her nose with out looking like she was smelling it. She put the cup to her lips and Mike the creep that has been hitting on her tap her on her shoulder and she turned around to look at him. I tried to read his lip since between the music and distance I couldn't hear what they where saying. But I could tell that I wouldn't like it at all noting good came out of his mouth from what everyone told me.
Katie made her way back over to me and I started to feel better with her near my side. I felt her tiny hand slip into mine and I realized I was shaking from her talk to Mike. "We where just talking it was harmless Seth."
"I know it's just the way he looked at you like he was hoping we would break up." I was never going to like that guy ever.
"Don't worry about it." Katie said as the DJ announced that this would be the last song for the night. Before I new it we where back on the dance floor with all of Katie's friends dancing away. I saw her looking around at everyone and up at me and I knew that face she was thinking. And I new it was about her graduating either her friends or us. I felt her take a deep breath and tighten her arms around me I knew I should get her home so I asked her,"Are you ready to go?"
"Yeah."
"Are you ok?"
"'I'm fine I was just thinking a lot about graduation and stuff."
"Ok let's go." I took Katie's hand and lead her back to the table where my jacket and her bag where. I watched Katie check her bag as Ben walked up to me. He saw that we where leavening and wanted to say good bye to me. I watched as Ang gave Katie a quick hug and I shook Bens hand before I put my large jacket over Katie's shoulders so she wouldn't get cold outside. She took her keys out yawing to unlock the door this made me worry when ever she was tired she dosed off quickly. "You sure your ok to drive home I know how to drive I can you know."
"I'm alright last thing we need is chief swan getting us."
"I opened her door for her. That's fine but how about you take me home then I'm going to change and ride home with you. I will phase and run home. I don't want you driving while you're so tired." I went around and climbed in before telling her. "I may stay a little bit with you since I patrolled all day yesterday."
"That sounds good." Katie started the car up and pulled out I watched her very carefully through the whole ride home I could tell he was struggling to keep awake there was no way I was going to let her drive to her house. She finally pulled up to my house and I kissed her then I ran into the house. Mom was already asleep so I headed up to my room and took the stupid monkey suite off I then remembered that Katie was wearing the jacket. Oh well I would get it from her tomorrow. I threw all the pieces of the tux on my bed then fished around in my basket for a clean pair of shorts. I ran back outside to Katie's car and found her leaning her head on the steering wheel. There was no way I would let her drive another foot anywhere. Forks was small it wasn't too far to her house I could drive the few miles to her house right outside La Push. I sat in the passenger set putting my hand on her shoulder to wake her up she jumped right after I touched her.
"Hey it's just me can you drive home now."
"Yeah just keep talking to me I will be fine."
"Hun you're asleep on your feet switch places with me I can drive well enough to get us to your house. There's not any cops in Forks this time of night. And anyways my relaxes are better than yours and I can see better in the dark."
"Ok just be careful last thing I need is your mom mad at me or my mom mad at both of us."
We switched places both of use getting out and I climbing into the drivers seat. Thankfully the drivers set went back far enough for me and I could fit in to the set of her car. I pulled out from out house and started the short drive to Katie's house. I pulled up to her house and then walked her to her door like any other time.
"Why don't you head upstairs and I will be there in a few minutes I'm going to check in with the guys and then be up."
"Ok I will leave the window open for you." I gave her a quick kiss and ran towards the woods quickly pulling off my shorts and phasing. There wasn't to may people phased just Jake and Embry. It took a minute for them to realize I was there.
"Hey Seth what are you doing phased I thought you where with Katie. It was Embry he was happy I was with Katie.
"I am I just wanted to check in with everyone."
"Everything is fine Seth you can go back to Katie how is she, did she have fun." Jake asked.
"Yeah she did I did too." I showed them the night and the drive home.
"Seth you drove to her house." Great leah was phased she must have phased in and I didn't know.
"Yeah she was so tired it was I drive or the chance you she falls asleep while driving. Leah just don't tell mom she won't like it."
"Fine I wont don't do it again."
"Well I'm getting back to Katie. Bye guys see you later." I phased back pulled my shorts on and ran to the tree by Katie's window. Her light was still out so I climbed the tree like I always do and reached over to push up her window then I swung in the window. She still wasn't there so I went to her bed and laid back to wait. I could hear her talking with her mom so I just waited there. It wasn't long before I heard Katie's footsteps and she opened her door. Katie jumped about a foot in the air her hand went to her lips and here eyes where bulging out of her face. I had to fight back a laugh afraid of making her mad.
"I thought you where phased and talking to the guys and stop laughing its not funny your scared me to death."
"I'm sorry hun I did check in with the guys there's noting going on so I came right up. I heard you talking with your mom so I just sat down and waited."
"Its ok I just didn't expect you to be here that's all." I watched her like I seam to do so much of lately she walked to her mirror and was taking her hair down. She was beautiful her head leaning to one side her hands up in her hair pulling pins out and placing them on her dresser next to her. She pulled her hair up which I didn't under stand she just pulled it down to put it back up. She then bent down to pull out night cloths she turned took a step towards the door then stopped then she looked at me. I waited knowing she needed to change but not sure how to solve this problem.
"Ok close your eyes."
"What why?"
"I can't go to the bathroom to change so I have to stay here close your eyes so I can get out of this dress and into bed."
"Alright I will close my eyes if it makes you feel better." I leaned back again and for good measure I put my hands over my eyes. But what she couldn't know was that I could still feel and hear her move.
"Ok no peaking." I wouldn't but I could image quite a bit.
"I won't just change hun." I didn't want to make her feel more uncomfortable. But I could hear her pull the zipper down the fabric move over her skin and fall on the floor, and Katie putting the dress over her chair. I could hear her pull her shorts up and a shirt over her head. It was like upsetting to know she was so close to me with no cloths on but I wasn't going to break my word now. Neither one of us where ready for what seeing her with out cloths would bring.
"Ok you can open your eyes now. It's safe." I slowly uncovered my eyes to see her in a pair of her short shorts and a tank top. I smiled at her I still couldn't believe that fate brought us together. She smirked at me and asked, What?
"Noting your just beautiful."
Katie took her brush from her dresser and sat next to me. She pulled her hair down from a messy bun she had it in and started to run the brush through it. I watched her as she slowly took small brush strokes through her hair I watched her face wince as she pulled her hair. It hurt me to know that the stuff in her hair was causing her pain. I could not stand it any longer.
"You have got to stop that it's killing me."
"Sorry but I gotta do it its this or a shower and I'm to tired for a shower."
So I sucked it up and watched her pull that brush painfully through her hair. I was thankful when she finally finished and lay down in her bed with me. I pulled the blankets up to cover us both and pulled her close to me. I loved the way she fit so easily right there in front of me. Breathing in her sent I kissed her on her cheek and told her good night. I watched her fall asleep as I ran my fingers through her hair and up and down her arm. Her eyes fluttered close and it was the must beautiful thing I had seen.
