"Ah!" I playfully screamed as my marshmallow caught on fire. I held it out in front of me trying to blow it out. But then Seth grabbed the handle of my marshmallow holder and blew it out for me.
"Thanks." I giggled and blushed as I took it off
"No problem." He smiled and went back to making his sixth s'more. Dang these boys can eat I barley finished my three before they were on their fifth.
For the past hour we've been telling jokes, reminiscing memories from our Wal- Mart experience, just taking about our weird experiences, and even cracking Yo Mama jokes every once and a while.
"Hey Paul!" Embry yelled.
Paul looked up from cooking his marshmallow.
"Yo Mama's so fat she was baptized at Sea World!" he said before we all started cracking up.
Paul grunted and went back to staring at his now burnt marshmallow, but I think only I saw the little smile that curled at his lips. Oh he knows he's having a good time even though he's angry a majority of the time.
After an hour of being with these boys I finally figured out their personalities:
Quil: shy but sweet.
Jared and Jake: Partners in crime. (in a good way… sometimes)
Sam: the mature leader (with an occasional joke)
Paul: Crazy Steve (anger issues, probably has a stress ball)
Embry: The Dance Cook of the Quileute Reservation
Seth: Adorable, cute, funny, sweet, kind… I could go on and on.
All of them have girlfriends apparently, and they never stop talking about them. I mean never stop. All of them except Jake and Seth (Seth I'm happy about). I've grown to really like Seth we both have the same interests and we really click. We are dog people (A/N: haha no pun intended), hate rap love rock, my favorite color is green, his is red but who really cares about colors? Anyway, I practically have a teensy weensy, itty bitty little bit of a crush on him, nothing major though.
"Serena!" Jared called to me snapping me out of my thoughts. "Want the last one?" he asked holding up the last marshmallow.
I shook my head, "No thanks I'm stuffed." I replied
"Suit yourself!" he said before tossing it in the air and catching the whole marshmallow with his mouth. I looked down and saw a stick, out of my boredom picked it up and started doodling in the sand.
After drawing 3 flowers, 2 hearts, 5 peace signs, and quite a few smiley faces. I felt a tap on my shoulder.
I looked up to meet Seth's smiling face.
"Wanna go for a walk?" he asked point is thumb behind him towards the beach. "I think we need to give them time to practice their dance skills." He said nodding toward Jake, Embry, and Quil doing the "You're a jerk" dance as Jared banged on the bongo drums to the beat.
"You're a Jerk. You're a Jerk" they sang as they skipped backwards in place.
I rolled my eyes in agreement and followed Seth towards the beach.
It was the evening so the sun was pretty much gone, but not quite so u could still see around. As he, gracefully stepped over the driftwood and weeds and everything else, I was stumbling over driftwood, getting weed caught in my feet and just falling if I set my foot wrong. But Seth caught me every time. With his big muscular arms, cute smile, relaxing chuckle…
My foot caught on yet another piece of driftwood, taking me away from my thoughts and throwing me towards the ground. I waited for impact but once again strong, warm arms wrapped around me and brought me back to my feet.
"Sorry" I said as brushed nothing off me. "Walking on a beach filled with debris doesn't really help the uncoordinated." I said looking up at him.
"Well then let's sit." He said as he looked around. "Here." He said as he guided me towards a log that was facing the ocean. He sat down and patted the spot next to him with a smile on. I couldn't help but smile back and sit down.
I scanned the water and the scenery. It was the beginning of October so all the trees were changing colors and you could see it in the distance and it looked…
"Beautiful." I finished my thought out loud.
"Yeah, you are." Seth replied.
"Pardon me?" I asked shocked. Did he just say that?
"Nothing…" He replied looking down.
"Tell me."
"Nah, it's not important." He said as he pushed the sand around with his foot.
"C'mon!" I nudged him with my elbow because my hands were in my pockets.
He smiled as he moved a little and shook his head.
"If you don't tell me then I'll just have to tickle you to death." I threatened.
This made his head snap up. "You wouldn't" he squinted his eyes.
I smiled a devilish grin. And then I attacked. I reached towards his stomach and started tickling him. He started laughing and hunched over in an attempt to get me to stop. He was moving around so much that he fell off the log taking me with him. I was on top and still tickling him.
"Okay! Stop! Please" he giggled some more. "Stop!" he said in a girly voice which only made me laugh harder.
All of a sudden I heard a rustle from behind a rock.
"What was that." I said in a serious tone, making us both stop.
"What was what?"
"That rustling!" I whisper/ shouted.
"I didn't hear any…"
Then a figure jumped out at us.
"BOO!"
We both screamed and held onto each other for life.
Then we heard laughing.
Embry…
"What the hell man! You scared the shit out of us!" Seth said, his voice cracking at the end.
"Chill out…" he said in an annoyed tone has he grabbed a bucket and headed towards the water. "I was going out here to get a bucket of water to pour on Paul, and both of you happened to be here." He said as he set the bucket into the water to fill it up. "And the rest is history." He shrugged his shoulders as he stood up in the water, with the bucket in hand. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a prank to pull." He said as he walked past us and back towards the fire.
"Sorry about that." Seth said as he rubbed his neck.
"No it's fine actually I want to see Paul's reaction." And right on que Embry came running by us with an empty bucket laughing his head off as Paul soon followed, soaking wet.
"You're dead!" he called out to Embry. I could hear a chorus of laughter in the distance.
I giggled as I got up and brushed the sand off my clothes. "You guys are hilarious!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah I guess." Seth said smiling sheepishly
"Let's head back." I said as I turned around to start heading back. I didn't hear any footsteps behind me so I turned around. Seth was just standing there looking at me. "Are you coming?" I asked
"Yeah." He smiled and joined me in walking back.
"Hey, Serena!" Jake said as we got back to the fire. "Your mom called she says she wants you home." He said while holding up his cell.
"Oh okay, see you guys!" I said walking back. Wait. Which way is Jake's house? "Can someone walk me back?" I asked a little embarrassed.
"I will." Jacob and Seth said at the same time. They both looked at each other, Jake with a weird look and Seth with a determined look.
"C'mon Serena." Jake said still looking at Seth with the same weird look. Then they broke eye contact and Jake grabbed his keys. "See ya guys." He said and waved.
"Bye." I said to all of them.
"See ya!" they all said and went back to their own business.
Jake and I started walking back to his house. It was a comfortable silence.
"So you and Seth?" Jake all of a sudden asked.
"What?" I asked stopping in my tracks.
"Do you like him?"
"No."
"Really"
"Really… well… kind of… but… yeah…" I confessed.
"That's cool." He said as we approached his house.
"Here you go." He said pointed towards my car.
"Thanks Jacob." I said as we parted our ways. "Turning in for the night?" I called as I unlocked my car.
Jake turned around and shrugged his shoulder while walking backwards. "I got nothing better to do."
I giggled. "Okay Night!" I got into my car.
"Night, Serena! See you soon!" he called back over the purr of my engine as it started up.
I drove home with the radio turned low, I hated driving alone, it makes me feel so… well alone. So I listen to the radio. Bad Romance by Lady Gaga was on, not my favorite artist but she'll do.
I got home at around 10ish, why? Who knows…
"I'm home!" I called out to my mom.
"I'm in bed!" she shouted back annoyed.
"Whoops." I said under my breath.
I walked up to my room and did my usual routine for bed, changing into my pajamas, face wash, and then brushing my teeth. I was beat.
I got under the covers and almost immediately I fell into a deep sleep.
I was running in the forest my hand in Seth's warm one. We were laughing and giggling like we didn't have a care in the world. All of a sudden Seth stops in his tracks and looks at me with a hurt expression. Then his face changed, it morphed into Edward's beautiful face, his eyes turning to Edward's golden ones. His hands changed temperature, they were now ice cold.
I was looking at Edward's pained face, like he was hurt because I was with Seth. His eyes watered up, but nothing came down.
I let go of his hand a touched his face. Then he started fading out in thin air.
"No, Wait, don't go…" I whispered to him. But he was already gone.
I shot up in my bed heavily breathing. What kind of a dream was that? Edwards face, it was so real.
Then I heard a tap against my window, I screamed as someone was scratching at the window trying to get in.
"Omigod." I said under my breath while looking around for someone to beat it with.
"Serena!" I heard a struggled grunt.
"Seth? Is that you?" I whisper shouted.
"Yes! Now open the window!" he demanded.
I got out of my bed and opened the window for him. He was hanging on a branch without a shirt, boy did he look fine, and jeans. He flung himself into the room making a large thud. He looked towards my mom's room panicked.
"Don't worry, she's a heavy sleeper." I calmed him down He took a deep breath and then looked at me. "What are you doing here anyway?" I asked him.
"Well… I'm just going to come out and say it." Oh, no. He isn't gay is he? "I really like you, I think you're so beautiful and I just wanted to do one thing." He said before he grabbed my face.
"What?" I asked.
"This." He said.
Then his warm lips met mine. I've kissed a few guys before but none had compared to Seth's kiss. It was amazing, our lips moved in sync and I grabbed his shaggy hair and got into it. Then Seth pulled away.
We were both panting.
"Wow." I said. "You're a good kisser." I smiled up at him.
He smiled down then pecked me on the lips again.
"Be my girlfriend?" he asked grabbing both my hands.
I got up on my tippy toes and kissed him on the cheek. "Of course." I said smiling.
Then he wrapped his arms around me in a big hug. We stayed like that for about a minute. Then Seth stiffed up and sniffed.
"Do you smell something weird?" he asked.
I sniffed. "Nope." I said looking up at him in confusion.
Then he snapped his head towards the window. I followed his gaze, nothing was there.
"What do you see?" I asked.
"Nothing…" he trailed off still looking at the window. "But I have to go. See you soon?" he asked.
"Mhm." I said smiling back.
"Bye." He kissed my cheek and went back out the window swiftly. I went back to bed with a smile on my face.
Alice POV:
I was sitting downstairs on my laptop looking at the lastest fashions when I had a vision
Serena shoots up out of her bed, breathing heavily, then she screamed due to knocking at her window.
And then everything went blank.
Oh. No.
"Edward" I ran up the stairs and into his room. He was listening to classical music. "Serena, I had a vision where she screamed in her room and then everything went blank!"
"What?" he asked concerned.
"Go check on her! She's in her room!"
He ran out his window towards her house.
Edward POV:
I ran swiftly through the forest towards Serena's house. I hope nothing happened to her. As I approached her bedroom window, I could smell an odor I thought I would never have to smell again for years. I jumped onto the tree branch outside her window and peered in.
What I saw next would have broken my heart if it had still been beating.
Serena and Seth Clearwater were kissing. It was so passionate I had to look away for a second.
They pulled away and Serena was smiling with joy, pure joy.
"Be my girlfriend?" Seth asked.
Serena kissed his cheek and replied with, "Of course."
And then they embraced each other.
I couldn't believe my eyes, I couldn't believe I had been to chicken to say how I felt about her, and now it's too late. I couldn't feel anymore, I felt hurt, pain, sorrow, every sad emotion that was out there, I was filled with.
Then Seth stiffened up, he could smell me. I quickly jumped off the branch and headed back home. I walked into the house and went into my room like a zombie, I didn't acknowledge anyone, I just was walking dead. I will be walking dead for all eternity. I'll be left alone forever, I let my one love go, and now I'll never get her back.
