We stayed still embracing one another for a few minutes until darting apart. He chuckled and stood up offering me his hand. I gladly took it and brushed off any spectacle of dirt in my clothes (mom would kill me if I showed up again in teary dirty clothes).
"How about we head over to me and my fiancée's house? It's only mere miles away from here and we can talk more…comfortable there" he offered this time less nervous and more eager to go there.
"Only if you promise to introduce me to your soon-to-be-wife" I asked happy that the tension had ceased between us. Sam grinned at my choice of words and nodded.
"Scouts honor" he teased raising his left hand. I had to laugh at that and so I did.
All my bad intentions faded as we made our way to his house. Maybe mom was right after all…hugs can disappear worries…but only for awhile until they find their way back.

Seth's POV
"Seth? Seth! Wake up you overgrown monkey unless you want to be late school…again" I groaned in response and pulled the quilts closer to my face ignoring the tugging Leah was giving them. I yanked them back harder trying to annoy Leah so she could leave but that only made her snigger before letting them go. My face landed on the floor along with the quilts and I glared at Leah before getting my pillow and throwing it at her (which landed lamely on her feet).
"Ugh! Lee can't I stay home just today?"I whined pulling the puppy dog face on her. She grabbed the pillow and tossed it towards my face.
"No can do puppy dog you've missed enough days, now go get ready so I can drive you to school." Dang thought it would do the trick. I sighed dramatically and scowled at her one more time before walking to the shower groggily. I was washing my hair, eyes closed and all, when the previous nightmare flashed into my head.
In my brawny arms I held the most angelic person I'd ever seen in my entire life of living. Her sleeping figure seemed to fit perfectly with my well built body considering how huge I was and how petite she seemed but together…we even each other out. Her silky long dark brown hair flowed freely barely passing her elbows, her figure was just as graceful as everything about her with the fact of how tall she seemed to be and how beautiful her body showed in that short white bubble dress. What I admired the most was this angel's features, she had realistic long black thick eyelashes, adorable rose pink cheekbones, and fully perfect lips that just seemed so delicate and soft. And her scent was an intoxicating smell of Gardenia and Jasmines mixed in with something far more desiring.
Wanting to see if she was real or not I decided to caress her blushed cheek. My trembling hand slowly made its way to her face only to find that nothing was there but thin air. I started to hyperventilate in desperation wanting to find who she was right away.
"I'm over here silly" a velvet voice giggled. She peered at me pass her shoulder but only for a mere second before running off into the forest. I followed suit quickly like a lost puppy and stopped dead in my tracks when a black wolf appeared behind her ready to attack.
"God no, Sam stop don't hurt her!" I shouted at the top of my lungs after realizing who the wolf was. They both turned to me and the angel started laughing and mimicking me while Sam let a throaty animal laugh escape his mouth. My brows furrowed in confusion as they continued to laugh harder.
"Look how pathetic you are Seth, waiting like an oaf for his 'soul mate' to appear out of thin air. Don't you get it never will that happen. You aren't good enough for that" Sam spoke harshly. If my jaw could have fallen off it probably would now because no well in hell was a wolf talking human and saying shit to me that was… pitilessly true. Oddly enough I kept my cool and was about to respond when Leah appeared as did Amanda trailing behind her quietly.
"Seth what if you imprint and leave Amanda hurting like Sam did to me" Leah whispered sympathetically…a side of her I haven't seen in a long while after Sam broke up with her…and after dad died.
I was just a young pup when I wanted to imprint so bad…having someone to love and care for…just like Jared had Kim, Quil had Claire, Paul had Rachel and so on… but when my hopes got up to much I started to notice the consequences of imprinting.
"I don't want to be like Leah Seth, you can have a normal life with me and be good happy couples like any other individual" Amanda persuaded tears appearing in her hazel eyes. I couldn't have a normal life not after what I had become to be. Lee's voice interrupted my thoughts.
"What if you leave mom alone after that happens huh? The guys give a damn anymore to their surrounding only to care and protect their imprints. Do you want to be like that? Want to leave mom, me and even the pack for her!" Leah asked angrily. I shook my head furiously and looked back at the mysterious angel to see her walk away laughing at us as well as Sam leaving with her.
I felt so confused, utterly hollow, pitifully alone and most of all scared of what it might do to not only me but the loved ones around me.
I cleared my head away from those thoughts and got out of the shower after finishing. I didn't want to worry about that not now at least, after all the elders HAD said imprinting was rare and at the moment I had a perfect life with a wonderful partner and the most extraordinary family anyone could have asked for so why bother worry for a silly thing that couldn't possibly occur to me. I laughed at my troubled thinking while putting on my black long sleeve polo, dark blue jeans, and vans.
"You were just grumpy a while ago and now you're laughing? Someone has mood swings today." Leah stated as she entered my room.
"Have you ever heard of knocking?" I replied jokingly. She stared at me for awhile and rolled her eyes.
"Since when do WE knock on each other's doors?" I shrugged and grabbed my binder after heading downstairs towards the delicious aroma of breakfast.
"Pancakes and Eggs are on the counter so hurry and eat while I go start the car" just the thought of food made me walk faster towards it and so I did…or more like ran to it.
I stared at the mouthwatering food in front of me for a few seconds after devouring it in brief minutes. Rather delicious food I might add.
"Seth, sweetie chew and swallow. I wouldn't want anyone to thinking my little munchkins eats like a wolf" mom smiled at the inside joke and kissed both my cheeks. I grinned but scrunched up my nose at the mention of the childhood nickname my parents always called me.
"I would prefer the term teen please" she sighed and grabbed my empty dish while I smiled.
"You two grew up so fast. It feels like only a few days ago you, Leah and your father were in the living room coming up with nicknames for each other" I saw how much she missed him right then and there, how she missed having us as kids, as a normal family with each and everyone here complete. Nevertheless I knew she was a strong person and could surpass the hurt she was feeling now that she had Charlie to count on.
"Well you should get going honey, wouldn't want you being late again and Leah must be getting impatient by now" I grabbed my binder and gave her a quick hug and kiss on the cheek before leaving.
"Have fun at school and say hi to the pack for me as well as Amanda"
"Having fun in school might be an understatement mom and I will" I replied as I closed the front door.

A/N R & R and tell me what you think. Also sorry for the long wait I've been having stressful depressive days that I just can't think straight enough to write good, but now worries I've been feeling a little better and this doesn't mean I'll stop writing but rather expect one or two weeks for update and I'll try to do my best on the story.
Quick question: I was having this argument with my friend, I said Jake is Seth's role model and her opinion was that Seth is a wannabe Jake or is he? What do you think …or is it technically the same thing? Because if it is well…yeah that'll be err…rather dumb of us for arguing over what meant the same thing. And if you would pick one of the below please that'll be great. Review or PM me whatever works better.
1. Jake is Seth's role model.
2. Face it Seth is a wannabe Jake.
3. LOL you were arguing over what meant the same thing!
