I hope u enjoy, I will try and write some more tomorrow. Remember: REVIEWS KEEP STORIES ALIVE, DON'T ME A MURDERER!!!
Three Words Could Have Made a Difference
Running off into the woods has kind of become a habit of mine, I notice. Whenever things get ruff I make a b-line for the tree line. It's a very bad habit, I'm noticing now. When I'm pissed at my mom it isn't so bad. When I'm running into the woods and away from Seth, it is so bad. I forgot that I don't always get to be alone when I'm a wolf.
K-K-Kaitlyn! A sing-song voice says in my head.
Not now Embry. Think back a him and try running faster.
Fine. I was leaving anyway. Oh and by the way, I'd avoid Paul if I was you.
What? Why do I need to avoid Paul? I slow a little.
Oh, I guess you haven't heard. He starts and I slow even more.
Last time I was a wolf, I was running patrol alone. I haven't heard anything.
Oh, well Rachel started talking to this dude who she went to college with, and then the guy- Kevin, I think- started flirting. I am completely still now. Paul got mad and beat him up. Rachel got mad and left. Turns out she had been seeing Kevin for a while and was "in love with him" and got really pissed when Paul sent him to the hospital.
Poor Paul. He imprinted on her, that's got to be killing him. I say and actually feel bad for the jerk.
Strange enough, Paul isn't as torn up as he should be. Actually he is doing pretty well. Maybe he really hadn't imprinted… or maybe it's the fact he's hanging out with this new chick.
That's impossible. I tell him.
Maybe, but who cares?
Then everything is silent in my head. He must have phased.
Gosh, that was RANDOM! Soooo, very random. God.
thdump, thdump, thdump. I hear the steady beat of paws hitting the wet ground behind me. But my head is still silent, must be Seth. I could out run him, I'm almost as fast as fast as Leah, if not faster, but I don't move. I try and get my feet to move but my legs turn to jelly and I fall to my knees. I lay my head on my paws, knowing if I try to stand I'll only succeed in getting my coat all muddy. Thdump…thdump…thdump. He's only a hundred yards or so away now, and his place is slowing.
"Why'd you run off like that?" He can't think to me so he barks. He sounds hurt.
"Give me a second." I bark back and go behind a tree to change. I had ripped my cloths when I ran off into the woods, but I always keep a pair of shorts and a shirt hidden in various places in the woods. I had started doing this, when I first started facing, over ten years ago. I still hide cloths in the woods every now and then, just incase there is an incident… like today. I pull a pair and shorts and a shirt on and walk back to Seth, who has also phased.
"Why did you run off like that?" He asks as he walks over to me.
"I- I- I just- Why was your face so close to mine?" I ask him suddenly.
"What?" He looks confused.
"Why were your lips so close to mine?" I ask him. I look at his lips- God, he has gorgeous lips!
"Umm… well…" He stammers and blushes a deep red, "I asked you first." He blurts out.
"Because I was confused!" I yell and several birds fly from trees around us.
"Confused about what?" He whines.
My heart breaks a little at the sound, "Because, you don't like me like that. You can't- we're only friends! But then your lips- God, your lips! And your scent- every where!" I blurt our random things that made me run.
"What do you mean "I don't like you like that"?" He asks me and has such a heart broken expression.
"You-we- your- ARGH!" I scream and throw my head into my hands, "We aren't… a couple… you don't think of me like that." I say slowly so I don't aggravate myself.
"Do you like me like that?" He ask with what sounds like a pleading tone.
YES!! YES!!! Seth, I love you! The voice in my head says and I'm rather shocked. I haven't ever thought of Seth like that… or maybe I have. Maybe I've been thinking this the whole time and I'm just now realizing it. "Seth…" I don't know what to say.
But I don't have to. He sees it on my face. He hears it in my voice. His eyes dropped. No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!!! No, Seth. No, I do! I do! Can't you see it?!
I look into his eyes, they look like those of a dead mans. He looks into mine and I plead with him to see. I can still see a spark of the admiration from before, but now he looks like he's died inside. No, Seth, no! You can't think that! He turns to leave and I make the jelly turn to bone and run after him, but he's already a wolf and running.
Please review, I hoped u enjoyed. Sad I know, but it get's better. But I enjoyed writing it, I hoped u enjoyed reading. Next chapter should be up soooon! Promise!
