Me: *giggles* Okay so to start off I have a funny. When I was updating for my wonderful fans and newcomers, I accidentally uploaded the wrong chapter 8 story! So then I thought, how funny would it have been if you guys started reading this and it was a whole other story!? Ah yeah…funny.

Audience: *blinks in silence*

Me: *clears throat before smiling quickly* Anyways! We are on chapter 8 already for Dying Blue Rose! I've gotten bunches and bunches of support for the series and I can't even begin to say how grateful I am!

Audience: *Aw's*

Me: *smiles* I know I don't reply to every single review and e-mail I get. I'm really sorry too. I do appreciate it though! I'm not one of those rude I'm-too-good-for-you-to-reply-to-what-you-just-sent type of writers! I love my fans! Dearly!

Audience: *cheers*

Me: Okay! Well I, Niomi, do not own Twilight the series and/or the characters. Those solely belong to Mrs. Myers and her wonderful ideas that created the world of Twilight. Thank you!

March 23, 2006

Two weeks. Two weeks since Jacob and I have broken up and two weeks since Seth and I have hung out together.

I really loved Seth. When I was away from him I was sad yes, but when he was there I could think straight. I could smile too.

I never wanted him away because it made me feel empty. But since we went to separate schools that was hard to avoid. Seth has a way to get my mind off of things easily. Not just by his looks, but by simply saying something wonderful.

Everyone is worried about me of course because I'm sad all of the time but I ignore them. All of them.

The weird things that have been happening are creeping me out. I get angry quicker and wind starts blowing. When I was in the pool at school (ha-ha rhyme!), the water moved with my movements. Even when I was out of the water.

Also, Seth. When he is close I'll know it. When he is gone, I'll feel it. When he's sad or angry, I'll feel it from miles away. He said it was the other way around.

Weird…huh?

"So your sister is a werewolf too?" I asked, trying to make sure I understood everything.

Seth nodded, next to me.

"Yep," he said smirking at me. I nodded, tossing another grape at him. I giggled as he caught it in his mouth again.

"But I thought they were all males," I said smiling.

I threw another purple grape and he ate it.

"So did we," he said with a light laugh.

I smiled at his laugh before nodding.

"Alright, alright. So there can be girls too. That just shows girls are pretty strong," I said. He looked at me skeptically.

"Not likely," he said, taking a grape from me. His plaid gray shirt was blowing in the wind every time he moved. He had on some jeans and his hair was its usual shaggy black and beautiful.

I laughed at him with a playful expression.

"Oh really?" I asked. He nodded and I threw a grape at him, causing him to laugh.

I had on a green long sleeved shirt and a green hoodie. I pulled on some jeans before I left and grabbed my normal green and white sneakers.

I was sitting with my feet over the edge of the cliff we were on. It wasn't the one meant for cliff diving, but it was still kinda high.

Seth sat beside me with one leg over the edge while the other was pulled up.

We had bought the grapes and then came here. We were talking about anything and everything that kept my mind off of Jacob.

Unfortunately, it wasn't that easy.

"Schyler?"

I blinked and looked at Seth.

"Hm?" I asked quietly.

He pointed at my face.

"You're…crying," he said frowning some.

I touched my face and brought it down to look at.

"Oh…I am," I said a bit surprised. I put the bowl on the other side of me so that I wouldn't drop it as I inspected my hand. More droplets fell and I knew I was crying.

I laughed some and wiped my face with my sleeves.

"I thought I was done crying," I said smiling.

I kept my arm sleeve over my eyes and I sat there. Seth stared at me scooting closer. I felt his body heat as if it were my own.

"I'm sorry Seth. I'm really hurting though," I said with a smile.

Tears fell down my cheeks as my hid my eyes behind my arm.

"And I don't want to hurt. But I do. I hurt a lot. I hate not having him anymore. I feel so empty. Abandoned almost even though I'm the one that ended it," I said with a small sob.

Seth put his arms around me and pulled me in his lap. I put my face in his shoulder and held him tightly. I think he was surprised by his own movements but I didn't care. He was my perfect comfort.

"I thought I wasn't connected to him. So…why does it feel like half of my heart is missing?" I cried.

Seth stroked the back of my haired gently.

"It's because even though you aren't connected you were in love. You still are. Both of you. So it's like the other half of your heart is gone…causing you more pain," he said softly.

I cried and cried until my head hurt. I just sat there with him, listening to his heart and feeling his hand run through my long hair.

Seth nodded as if he were talking to someone and pulled me back.

"Schyler. I'm going now," he said setting me down. I grabbed his arms on reflex, surprising him.

"Y-You're coming back right? You're going to come back to get me?" I asked quickly. He nodded, touching the side of my face with this warm hand so I would let go.

"I will. Just call for me," he said before standing.

I sat there, staring at the waves before I smelt something familiar.

Forest and spice.

I stood up and turned around slowly to see Jacob.

"Jacob," I said softly.

Me: *gasps* Jacob?!

Audience: *looks at each other* Oooooh!

Me: *smiles at you* Oh my gosh! What do you think will happen? What do you hope will happen? Review and answer those questions so I can have ideas for the next chapter okay?!
