Chapter 8 –

Ahh sorry for the delay again! I started school again this week so I had no time to update! But here you are! Enjoy!

I threw myself onto my bed, tears streaming down my face and he just stood there in the doorway glaring at me. What have I done? I thought. This is so unfair. I love this guy so much why can't he just be happy for me?

After Embry had told me he loved me and kissed me on the beach I'd ran away. I decided that he would probably look for me so I hadn't gone back to the Cullen house. I'd gone instead back to the house I shared with my parents in La Push. He had followed me and now I was just laying here crying while he stared at me.

'EMBRY GO AWAY!' I screamed at him.

He looked scared, and so upset and just shook his head.

'Leave me alone!' I continued. 'For once in my life I'm happy! I have something really worth living for and now you've gone and mucked everything up! Why Embry? Don't you want me to be happy?'

'Sari…sweetie…I'm so sorry,' he replied in a low voice, but I cut him off.

'I don't want to hear it! Just get out of my house! I never want to see you again Embry! Never!'

He nodded his head once, turned and left. I growled angrily. How could he leave! I was clearly upset. He was my best friend, he should have stayed even after I told him to go.

I laid on my bed crying for a long time. Then I heard my phone ringing. I pulled it out of my pocket, it was Seth. I picked up.

'Sarella? Are you ok? What's happened?' Seth spoke quickly without a pause. 'Alice had a vision of you crying in your room. I'm on my way over Sari. You and me are having a talk.'

I couldn't manage a proper reply, just a sort of choking tearful sound. Then I heard Seth's car speed up before he hung up.

I was still curled in the exact same position when he arrived and sat on the bed beside me. Seth picked me up and sat me in his lap, rubbing soothing circles on my back with his hand.

'Shh Sari baby shh, everything is ok. I'm here now, everything is fine I promise. Will you tell me what's wrong Sari?' I shook my head. 'Please sweetie I'm so worried about you.'

I shook my head again. 'It doesn't matter Seth,' I said between sobs, 'I'm being silly, it's nothing.'

'Anything that's making my baby girl cry is not nothing,' Seth replied. 'Tell me Sari.'

'No, you'll be mad…'

'Then I promise not to be mad. Please Sarella…seeing you like this is killing me.'

I looked into his eyes then, his beautiful, dark eyes. He was sad. This was really hurting him. I bit my lip.

'It's Embry…'

'What about Embry? What happened Sari? Is he ok?'

'No. He's not ok, and it's all my fault.' I started crying again, harder than before. Seth looked really worried, but also confused. He started comforting me again.

'He…he…he told me he loved me. And then he kissed me,' I cried out. My sobs were making my whole body shake now.

'He kissed you…he loves you…oh…poor Embry.' Seth really did look as if he was feeling sorry for his friend. He pulled me closer to him. 'Sarella…do you love him?' He seemed so scared and spoke so quietly I almost didn't hear. Of course he was worried about this. Me and Embry had been friends for years, best friends.

'No Seth, well yes. I don't know!' I cried again.

'Shh shh it's ok. I'll understand if you do Sari, he's been your best friend for so long, and we only just met.'

I was shaking my head. He had it all wrong. 'No Seth. I love you. I really do. I just don't want to see Embry hurting. He's my best friend. I don't want him to be anything more than that. But I don't want to hurt him. Oh Seth what am I going to do?'

He turned my face towards his.

'I love you too Sarella, more than anything in the world. If we have each other then we can get through everything else. You mustn't worry about Embry. Tomorrow we will talk to him together, but for now, I love you baby.' Then he closed the gap between us and pressed his lips to mine.

This was so different from my kiss with Embry. The moment our lips touched a surge of electricity passed between us. I pulled him closer, kissing him harder. I felt his tongue graze my lower lip and parted my lips, granting him entry. Our tongues danced together inside our mouths. It felt amazing.

'Seth…' I whispered.

He put one warm finger to my lips.

'I love you baby.'

'I love you too Seth, always.'

So they're together now, yay!

Review so I have motivation to write the next chapter so you can find out what happens to Embry!
