Chapter 6-
I woke up in the car and practically leapt up in my surprise to find myself there.
'Shoot! Where am I? What…Oh, hey Seth. Erm where's Bella?' I asked when I saw who was driving the car. Seth was laughing at me, it probably was quite funny, I'm not good at waking up. I shot him a look and he stopped laughing.
'Don't worry babe I called her. I explained everything and told her I'd bring you home. She was so shocked to hear from me! It's been so long. Well, it's been 18 years! She said everyone wanted to see me so I should come home with you. And here we are.'
'What? We cannot be back already! I have no idea what to say to them! We imprinted Seth! That's a big deal! Mum and Dad will freak! Oh…ok fine they're not there. But Edward! He'll kill you! It'll be like Jake and Ness all over again!' I was referring, of course, to the time when my parents had first started dating. Edward had gone crazy. I swear my dad's lucky to be alive! It took a lot of persuading from Bella and mum to calm him down. He's fine with them now of course, he was just scared of losing his little girl. And then of course they had me not long after and I kind of replaced Renesmee to Edward, I'm his 'little girl' now. He's so not gonna want to lose me to Seth.
'Shh, shh Sari. It'll be fine sweetie I promise. Edward and I are great friends. And hey, technically we're not dating or anything yet, so it will be fine. And he was annoyed with Jake cos Ness was technically only 7 and they were sleeping together! I mean you can see his point. But we are different Saz. It will be ok, I promise.' I knew he was probably right, but my stomach was saying otherwise, butterflies were raging in there. He leant across the seat and kissed my cheek. The next thing I knew he was by my door, taking my hand and pulling me out of the car.
My family were all waiting outside the front door, smiling at us as we approached them. Alice ran to us and hugged us both together. Rosalie smiled at me then turned to go back inside, she still doesn't like the wolves. Emmet, Jasper, Bella and Esme smiled, waved and then followed Rosalie inside. Edward growled and began to walk over to us. Seth grabbed my arm and hid me behind him. Carlisle stepped towards Edward and put a hand on his shoulder.
'Son,' he said, 'you don't want to do this. Seth is a friend of this family and it is a good thing that he has met our dearest Sarella and they are on such good terms. Now why don't you go inside so I can greet our guest?'
Edward glared at me, then Seth, then Carlisle before snapping out of Carlisle's grip and storming inside.
'Welcome home Sarella, and welcome back Seth. It is so wonderful to see you again! The Cullen house has not been the same since you were last here. I would very much like to invite you to stay to catch up but as you've already gathered, we are currently looking after Sari and, as she has the need to sleep, I am instead going to ask you to return tomorrow, if you so wish. Of course you will also be tired from this evening and your mother, I'm sure, will be dying to see you again.'
'Of course Carlisle,' Seth responded, 'I understand completely. I promised Sue and Charlie I'd go back over there tonight anyway, as soon as I'd dropped Sari off. I will come back tomorrow though, if that's ok. I'd love to see Saz again, and the whole family. It's been too long.'
Carlisle smiled and nodded, said goodnight to Seth and went back inside. He was clearly giving us space to say goodbye; such a kind hearted man. Seth grabbed me suddenly and pulled me into a hug so tight I could hardly breathe. I gasped.
'Seth. Can't. Breathe.' He let me go, laughing again. 'So I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?' He nodded in answer, kissed my cheek, and got back in the car. I leaned closer to the window.
'Bye,' I said.
'Bye Sari,' he smiled at me and waved as he drove off.
I stood watching the drive for a few minutes then went inside to face my family. It was late and all I really wanted to do was get to bed. Alice bombarded me with questions as soon as I got in. Emmet was snickering at me on the couch, I could hear Rosalie playing the piano in the hall and Carlisle and Esme talking in the kitchen. The scene would be normal if it were not one o'clock in the morning.
Bella pulled Alice back over to the couch which stopped her questions for a few moments.
'Give Sari a chance to get inside Alice. Besides, questions can wait. Sarella will be tired, she's been out all night, and we are supposed to be being responsible adults and looking after her! Sari love, go upstairs now. We can talk in the morning.'
I smiled my thanks at Bella as I left the room. Of course I knew the talk and the questions would come. Even Bella, my defender, had seemed very keen to get the gossip. I flipped open my phone to check the messages and noticed I had 6 missed calls from Embry. I was about to call back when I noticed I also had a text. It was from him. I opened it.
Sarella. Call me.
I could see his face as he'd sent that message, I knew Embry, he never ever called me Sarella, he was angry. But why? I sighed, switched off my phone and changed into my Eeyore pyjamas and slipped into bed.
I had a feeling that life was about to get very, very complicated.
Remember people, REVIEW!
