This is the 5th chapter

Seth's pov

Wow your room is gloomy. Said Layla

Yeah well I' am Gothic so my room has to look like this. I said

True basically all of our rooms are black. Said Mellissa

Yes mine is a deep purple and black. Said Danielle

Mine is black and blue. Said Mellissa

So Seth what has you so upset? Asks Natalya

I can't tell you, you will think of me as more of a freak. I said

He will tell you two when he is ready. Said Danielle

Yeah he didn't know if he should tell us until we actually ganged up on him to tell us, but he felt better when he did. Said Mellissa

Okay guys enough talk about me. I said

Well we better get going we are cutting it close to curfew. Will you be okay Seth? Asks Danielle

I will be fine. I said

"They leave in their cars I watch them go down the street I was going to go to my room when mama and daddy called me into the living room."

Seth sweetie why did your friends drop you off and not Dawson? Asks mama

"I tell them everything except about Conner I tell them I have a crush on someone that don't want to be with me. They understood and let me go up to my room. When I get to my room I strip off my pants and shirt the only thing I'm in is my boxers. I hear a knock at my door I open it I see Conner standing in front of me with a smug look on his face."
What do you want? I asked through gritted teeth

I'm just glad your not dating Dawson anymore. He said

Yeah well I'm dating anyone for awhile. I said

would you date me? He asks

"I knew the answer to the question, but my heart and head are saying two different things"

No I will not date you, you are the biggest jerk I know now please leave. I said

Okay I'm going. He said

"He left I got out my cell phone and text Mellissa and Danielle. A few minutes later Mellissa texts back and said she couldn't get away. Danielle texts back and said she is on her way. I lay down on my bed for a couple of minutes before I hear a tap at my window. I go and open the window for Danielle. She jumps into my room then I hug her."

So what is wrong? She asks

"I tell her everything that happened between Conner and I."

Well from what I gather Conner wants to date you, but not in public. She said

Conner's pov

I' am outside Seth's door listening. I hear Danielle come in I see them hug totally innocent. Seth tells her everything that happened between us. When she answers I'm surprised that she figured me out with what Seth told her. I have to get to bed so I go to bed"

Seth's pov

"I think about what Danielle said maybe Conner does want to date me, but only when we are alone."

Thanks Danielle. I said

No problem. Do you mind if I stay the night? she asks

Not at all it is pretty late.

Sleep Seth. She said

Okay.

"The next morning which is a Saturday and I check the clock it read 10:00 am. Danielle is still sleeping when I hear a knock on my door I go and open it."

Hi mama.

Hey baby I saw Danielle's car outside and thought you two would like to eat.

Oh that would be wonderful thank you Mrs. Jacobs. Said Danielle

Your welcome and please call me Matt.

You know your brother told me the same thing, but mt mama and daddy taught me to be polite. She said

Well come down for lunch.

Okay Seth you get changed and I will be down stairs.

Okay. I said

Danielle's pov

"I go down stairs and turn right I go into the kitchen I see Mrs. Jacobs and Mrs. Calaway."

Matt I need to talk to you.

Okay what is it sweetie? He asks

Well I hope you don't hate your son for this. I said

Why would I hate my own son? he asks

Well he likes his cousin Conner.

Oh I knew that.

Oh so you know. Well this is going to be easy to explain then. Your son is going down the same road I went down so I want him to sleepover with me so we can bond and everything.

I don't see a reason not too let him go.

Good I will try to get him through this.

"Just then my phone rings I look at the call I.D It's Natalya I answer."

Hello?

Good morning darling. She said

Good morning baby. I said

So I was thinking we could go to the mall for a bit. She said

Um sure we can just give me like a hour, and is it okay if I bring Seth?

Sure Layla and Mellissa are coming too. She said

Okay tell them a hour.

Okay bye darling.

Bye baby.

"I end the call on my cell phone. Seth comes in the kitchen."

Seth go pack for an overnight stay at my house. Also we are going to the mall with Natalya, Layla, and Mellissa. I said

"He goes back up stair. A few minutes later he comes back down with a bag."

Okay lets go I have to shower and change before we go to the mall.

"We get in my Mustang. We get to my house I go up to my room and shower and everything I come back down when Seth asks me."

So why the sudden for a sleep over?

Well I just want us to bond.

Okay.

"We get back in my Mustang. We drive to Natalya's house I get out of the car. I knock on the door. She answers and gives me a kiss."

Oh darling Mellissa and Layla said they will meet us at the mall. She said

Okay Natty.

"We drive to the mall I park next to Mellissa car we get out we start towards the mall."

I think everyone should go where ever they want and meet at the food court in like a hour. I said

agreed. Siad everyone

"Everybody splits up I go into the music store I look around until I find the c.d I'm looking for. I pick up the c.d of Emilie Autumn. I feel a tap on my shoulder I turn around."

What do you want Conner? I ask

I want to talk to you. He said

Okay what do you want to know?

Well I was wondering why you took Seth?

I took him for some reasons that are between his mom and I. I will only tell you this I saw some signs of depression and that is all I will say about that.

Okay I will talk to him tomorrow then.

That would be a good idea.

Conner leaves me so I could buy my c.d. I head to hot topic I see some boots I want so I get them. It is already getting close to being a hour. So I head to the food court. Natalya is there waiting."

Hey baby. I said

Hey darling.

Were you waiting long? I ask

I just got here five minutes ago.

I wonder where Seth is?

So Seth is your first priority then your own girlfriend!

Natalya you know that is not true!

All I hear is Seth this and Seth that! It seems to me like you like Seth!

I don't like Seth like that he is like my little brother!

I will be riding with Mellissa on our way back home!

Fine see if I care!

"Seth, Layla, and Mellissa finally show up."

Come on Seth I really want to go home please I will get us something from B.K. or something. I said with a depressed voice

"I leave I'm so upset that I don't see where I'm going when I bump into someone."

Oh I'm so sorry. I say

It's okay

"I recognize that voice."

Hi Bill. Where's Tom?

He is coming. So what has you all upset? he asks

Well I'm trying to help Seth with some things. Natalya thinks I have feelings for him, but I don't like him like that he is like my little brother.

Do you mind if Tom and I come along?

I don't mind the more friends the better.

"Seth comes from behind me I turn around and he hugs me I start to cry on his shoulder."

Seth's pov

"I'am beyond pissed with Natalya She hurt Danielle so much. I hope Danielle will be okay."
Danielle I need you keys so I can drive.

"She gives me her keys."

So your following us right? I ask

Yeah we are right behind you. Said Tom

"We get in the car and we drive off to Danielle's house."

Mellissa's pov

You just don't get do you Natalya. I said

What don't I get? She asks

I'm going to tell you the whole story about Danielle I hope she will forgive me for telling you all of what she went through for the past four years and a half.

Wait that is around the time we became freshmen. She said

Yes and that was when you went to the popular group. I said

I remember.

Danielle started slipping around that time she wouldn't eat or talk to anyone even Seth and I. We didn't know what she was doing, but when she didn't turn up for lunch one day we found her in a class room with cuts on her wrists she cut too deep and had to be taken to the hospital. We didn't even know she was cutting. Then in tenth grade she tried to hang herself in her room her mom and dad came in time. Then in eleventh grade she tried drowning herself in the pool. Her mom and dad and finally had enough so they sent her to rehab that summer before senior year. Seth and I visited her everyday, but she still wouldn't talk to us or anyone until one day she finally broke down and told Seth and I why she tried to kill herself It was because she couldn't handle a life without you in it. Now Seth is almost going through the same thing and she is trying to catch him before he falls down hard like she did.

I was a big jerk. Said Natalya

You think! I'm going to go over there and you stay away until she is stable. I said
