She Hates Me
This was like my tenth outfit I tried on, I still didn't like it about to take it off. There was a knock, "Come in," I called still examining myself in the mirror. Seth came in, 'Are you ready?" he asked smiling at me. "Do you think I look okay?" I asked, walking towards him. "You look beautiful," he said smiling at me.
"Are you sure?" I contemplated.
"Yes, come one lets go," he said pulling me out the door. Edward took the Volvo; Bella Nessie Jacob went with him. My mom came with me and Seth in my car. My mom drove, she was really jiggery. "Mom can you please clam yourself," I asked her on our way to Uncle's house.
"Bena, I am clam. I'm just excited," she smiled.
"Why are you excited?" I asked.
"I can't tell you,"
"Mom," I whined, "tell me?" she shook her head. Seth chuckled in the back seat.
"Do you know?" I asked Seth, he shook his head. "Urgh"
"We're here," my mom called parking the car. It was raining today. Edward was already getting out of the car. I pulled my hood up and stepped out. Seth was automatically by my side. I took a deep breath before, walking up to the door with everyone else. Bella knocked, Uncle Charlie opened the door.
"Hi, Dad," Bella says hugging him, "Hey Bells. How's everything?" he asked as we walked in. "It's good," she said smiling. Everyone else said there hellos creating some small talk.
"Hi, Uncle Charlie," I said, smiling at him, "Long time no see," then this women came out of nowhere to Uncle Charlie's side. "Hello Sue," Bella said hugging her, she smiled. Uncle Charlie took us deeper into the house the game was on. I was about to go with them but…
"Hey, mom," Seth said. I wanted to hide. Seth moved away from me up to his mother. By now everyone else scattered around the house in enjoying their time but my mother was still close by. "Oh, Seth you should come and stay here I miss you so much," she said hugging him. Knots turned in my stomach. "Where is this girl of yours?" she asked looking around, probably for someone human. I wanted to throw up.
"She's right here mom," he said guiding me to her. I smiled, nervous as ever. "Oh," she breathed. I knew she wasn't going to like me, "I thought Leah was just pulling my leg when she said it was a vampire," she told Seth, then scanned up and down. She hates me, Her words pierced my heart. I heard my mother walking closer to us, everybody now focused on our conversation, "Mom," Seth said, trying to control her. I looked over to my mom no longer jiggery but concerned.
"It's not that I don't like her, it's just I didn't think she was well…" she said referring to me like I wasn't even standing right next to Seth. Then she looked at my cupping her hands over my cool skin, I can sense her dislike on it. "You are a gem. My boy is lucky to have you," she told me smiling, I smiled back, hardly. She let go of me, Seth and he's mother exchanged glances. "What's your name sweet?" she asked, everyone else stopped listening going back to what they were doing.
"Bena," I coughed out, my voice feeling dry and horse. "Bena Elizabeth," I said. "My father named me," I told her because she didn't respond.
"Oh, that's nice," she said still smiling, the air was lightening. I shifted my weight thinking I looked too stiff. An awkward silence followed, "I bet your hungry, Seth," she said walking into the kitchen fixing him a plate of something. "She hates me," I whispered towards him. He rubbed the back of his neck, "No, she doesn't she just has to get use to you,"
"Use to me?" I questioned, getting a little mad at him. Seriously what does that suppose to mean.
"Well, yeah because you're a vampire and we are supposed to hate each other," I frowned.
"So she hates me," I repeated. "No she doesn't hate you," he said.
"Here, Seth," She said placing the food on the table, "I have some for you too," she called to Jacob. I sat down next to Seth. They ate like they never seen food before.
'What they don't feed you?" Seth mother said in a playful tone
"I feed you," I said, threw my teeth. Seth slowed down.
"Yes, they do it's just that I haven't had my mother's cooking in a long time," he smiled at her a grimaced.
"Well no ones stopping from coming here," I mumbled. "We don't keep you under lock and key or anything," I said. He laughs nervously implying it was a joke to his mother, but he knows I'm died serious. "Well, it sure seems like you do," Sue said playing along. I was about to open my mouth, but my mother called me.
"Bena, honey can I talk to you," my mother called. I glared at her, "Bena," she sang.
"Will you excuse me," I said leaving the table. My mother took me upstairs into Bella's old room. Bella was already there.
"Bena Elizabeth, what your problem?" she asked me.
"Nothing, that lady is out to get me!" I explained crossing my arms
"She not out to get you," Bella said, "She soo nice,"
"I think I like Leah better then her, at least I know Leah hates us and she doesn't send any mixed messages about it," I said. My mother was going to say something but then she stopped.
"Ben, clam down, you're over reacting," Bella said trying to reason with me
"Over reacting," I said, throwing my hands in the air. "She told me she thought Leah was kidding when she said vampire, and then she scanned me!"
"She didn't say that she doesn't not like you," Bella tried again, "She said Seth was lucky to have you,"
"Yeah, but she didn't say she did either, and lucky to have me my butt, I think she just said that because Seth was in the room. And then she was like all, bet you're hungry. Like we don't feed him,"
"Well, he's a werewolf and he need to eat a lot so he probably always hungry," Bella said, my mother nodded agreeing.
"Who's side on you on!" I yelled at them.
"There are no sides, honey," my mom told me
"Whatever, Fine! I'll be nice but this isn't my fault," my mom smiled because I listened to her, Bella was being stubborn.
"We are going to talk later," she told me. I walked out the room, Bella and mother trailed behind me.
"Bena, I'm sorry," Seth said as I walked up to me and he kissed me on the check.
"It's okay," I grabbed my mother hands pulling her towards Mrs. Clearwater. "This is my mother," I told her pushing, my mom towards her.
"Oh, hello, Sue Clearwater," she said extending her hand out to my mother. My mom smiled giving me a back glance, "Amber," my mom said shaking her hand. They went on and talked and had there little conversation. I frowned.
"Why does my mother and your mother get along? That's not fair," I protested. Seth shook his head and sighed.
"Bena," he trying to reason with me, "She doesn't hate you,"
"She doesn't adore me either," I said, looking back at my mother.
"Usually when two mothers get a long it's a good thing," he told me. I sighed. I guess, maybe just a little bit….a tiny bit. I could be overreacting. But only a tiny bit.
"Okay, well I like her, and I won't be mean or anything," I told him stepping closer giving in, softly kissing him, "Okay, Where is your sister?" I asked, pulling away.
"Why do you want to know that? She isn't the most social around you guys," he was puzzled.
"Just tell me," I said, "She's probably out back somewhere," he said. I started to walk away, "I don't think that's a good idea,' I waved my hand in the air as I walked away to find Leah.
