So we are on our way home and Schyler decided there's no reason to be mad at our Jacob! That it's not worth it. Good job Sky!
Now I do no own Twilight the series and/or its characters. Only my own characters belong to me!
^^ Start!
The car ride was pretty quiet actually. I had to stop being awkward around Edward soon or I was going to shoot myself.
We pulled into the driveway to Charlie's house and I got out. Something in me said it wasn't going to be a good experience.
I walked in with Edward and Charlie hugged me in his…Charlie hug way.
"Hey," I mumbled waving a bit. He nodded to Edward who looked at him.
"I dropped her off because it was dark. Alice is going to bring her car tomorrow so she can get to school in time for the graduation," he explained. Charlie nodded, not expecting his respectful manner.
"What happened to you staying at the reservation?" Charlie asked, looking at me.
I shrugged going into the kitchen.
"I thought it'd be better if Bella stayed with her best friend for a while," I said.
Edward followed me and Charlie went upstairs to the bathroom.
"Are you still coming to the party?" Edward asked after a moment of silence. I nodded leaning on the table.
"Yeah. There's no point in missing a fun party that Alice is hosting," I said smiling. He smirked at me a bit.
"I think I would if I could," he said nodding. I shook my head before we snapped our attention to the door.
"Stop Jacob!"
I blinked before running out the door.
Bella stumbled up to us holding her wrist. I saw it was black and blue causing me to go wide eyed.
"What the hell happened?" I asked. Edward must have heard Jacob's thoughts because he hit him in the face.
"If you ever touch her again-!"
Jacob growled at him. "Keep your hands off of me!"
"You had no right to touch her!" Edward said, looking like he wanted to kill. Bella put her good hand on Edward's arm.
"She hit me!"
"For what you did!"
I stood between them (once again) and looked at Jacob. Charlie came out looking at everyone as we all yelled over each other.
"Jacob stop!"
"Edward calm down!"
"You can't be trusted! I knew she shouldn't have gone with you!"
"And what happened to Schyler while she was with you guys! She's all torn up!"
Charlie glared at us. "What is going on!"
Jacob looked at me before looking at Charlie.
His eyes hardened as he spoke. "I kissed Bella."
We all stood there staring at him and Charlie cleared his throat some.
"Oh…well…"
I shook my head with a small laugh, turning around to go back in, and what happened next threw us all off guard.
"Schyler don't-!"
On pure reflex I spun and punched Jacob in the jaw with a swift right hook. Jacob's head snapped to the side and he shut his eyes in pain, but he didn't say anything.
I stared at my hand, a feeling in my stomach. My hand felt nothing, yet when Bella punched him she injured herself.
"Schyler?" Bella asked softly.
I looked at Jacob and he looked at me again. I stared at him before pulling my phone out and walking away.
"Go away. Now," I commanded, looking at Jacob. His jaw tensed but I didn't back down.
"I will make you leave," I threatened lowly. Everyone stared at us and Charlie cleared his throat but I didn't look away from Jacob's staring contest.
"Sky…you're…Jacob's a bit bigger than you," he commented nodding. I tsked some, putting a hand on my waist.
"Like that'll stop me," I muttered hotly. I was pissed to no extent, but I was playing it off pretty well. Edward looked at Jacob.
"She's right. You need to leave," he said calmer. Jacob watched me as I turned back, going in the house.
"Schyler!" Bella said quickly. I ignored her and Edward took her hand gently.
"I'll have my father fix it up," he said quietly. I slammed the door and Jacob growled, walking away towards the forest.
"Damnit!"
I got to my room and I wanted to break something. I shook my head, tapping my leg as I dialed Seth's number.
It rang some more before he finally answered.
"Schyler?" My breathe hitched just hearing him but I pushed it out.
"Look I know I said that you since you're my imprint I don't want to push things and I know it get's uncomfortable when you're around me but I really need you right now because I'm hurt and-"
"Whoa! Schyler. Okay breathe. You aren't breathing," he said quickly.
I huffed before controlling myself and I looked out of the window.
"Please help me, Seth," I begged softly. I sounded so helpless but I was now confused. For some reason.
I mean if you were cheated on you'd be angry and sad but I was just lost. Lost because I didn't understand really how to feel, or even what Jacob was thinking. It's not like he cheated on me really though right? It's just a kiss.
But I felt so stabbed in the back!
"Why? What happened to you?" Seth asked causing me to blink. He had been talking for a moment. I took my shoes off and changed into my swim suit.
"I'll tell you when I see you," I said, pulling on my sweat pants. I grabbed my white hoodie and zipped it on.
"Okay where are you going?" he asked. It sounded like he was moving already. I shook my head, putting a towel in my swimming bag.
"I-I don't know but it needs to be somewhere with lots of water so I can-" I cut off remembering a perfect place.
"I'll be at my school," I said nodding. I could almost see his frown.
"How are you gonna get there?" he asked. I looked at my bare feet before walking out of my door.
"I'll handle that part. Just bring something to swim in," I said before hanging up.
I got downstairs and looked at Charlie.
"I'm going for a swim," I muttered, walking out of the door. He didn't say anything, not even asking how I was going to get there, which I was grateful for.
Of course the instant I got out of sight of Charlie, I started running to the school.
I got there in less than two minutes and waited outside. I leaned against the wall, looking up at the thin moon line.
My hair blew a bit and I looked over, hearing fast feet. Seth jogged out, pulling his plaid shirt on.
"Schyler, what's going on?" he asked the instant he saw me.
I could only hug him tightly. He held me back quickly, confusion in his features. I pulled away and he stared at me.
"You're so sad. I can feel it," he commented, touching my face. I sighed looking to the side and walked over to the doors.
"I don't even know," I replied. Seth looked around before looking at me again.
"What are we doing here again?" he asked, moving his hair from his face. I put my hand over the lock, focusing on wind.
After a moment I watched the latch on the other side of the glass door clip and the door came loose.
Seth stared before looking at me.
"Alright." I opened it all the way and grabbed his hand, pulling him in.
"Let's go," I said, shutting and locking the doors behind us.
We walked to the other side of the school and into the gym, being careful of any so called security guards.
I got to the girls locker room and Seth followed me down to the entrance to the pool. We got into the dark room and I turned on the pool lights, the clear blue water lighting up from beneath. I didn't want to turn on the rest of the lights because I didn't want people to know we were here.
I sighed, dropping my bag and looked at Seth.
"Come on," I commented, stripping off my sweatpants and jacket.
I looked over at Seth and saw his face was red. I smiled at him some.
"It's a one piece at least," I mocked, causing him to frown annoyed. I smiled wider, taking off my necklace, and got on the diving board.
Seth watched warily.
"Are you sure you-?"
I ran and jumped, the springs pulling me into the air. I flipped a few times before positioning and hitting the water.
I looked over as Seth's form appeared beneath deep end. We both came up and I looked at him. He had on what looked to be dark blue swim trunks and his hair stuck to him. He moved it and looked at me.
"So…what's up?" he asked frowning. I sighed some, leaning back in the water. I floated on my back, skimming my hands over the surface.
We ended up at the five feet and I shut my eyes.
"Jacob kissed Bella," I said shortly.
There was an arm under my legs and one on my back, lifting me up. I looked at Seth as he closed his eyes, pressing his forehead to mine.
"I'm sorry," he whispered. I smiled shaking my head, slipping my arms on his neck. I put my head on his shoulder as he spun slowly, my feet grazing the water.
"It's not your fault. Just wish I could have an explanation on why," I said with a careless shrug.
Seth nodded in understanding, a bit of confusion on his face.
"You do deserve to know why he would do something like that," he mumbled, looking at me. I shut my eyes sighing.
No matter how casual I tried to be, I just seemed to get more stressed over the situation.
I mean here I thought that Jacob and I were becoming back to normal and now this happeneds. I was getting hurt again and this time I was just sad. I wasn't even in the mood to cry over our relationship anymore.
I opened my eyes, a feeling in my chest.
"Maybe…Jacob and I just don't belong together," I said sitting up. Seth frowned at me as if I were crazy.
"Schyler," he started. I shook my head as he turned again. It looked as if he were trying to keep me calm by the water.
"I'm serious. All we've done is argue! It's like we're hurting each other every day!" I explained frustrated.
I sighed looking at the water and Seth stopped, standing in the five foot water. He stared at me with sad brown eyes.
"And no matter how much it pains me to say it, this just isn't working out. We need to sit down and talk it out but now I'm so pissed at him I can't even see him!" I said shaking my head. I looked at Seth with an annoyed expression.
"I punched him in the jaw out of no where! Do you know how sad that is!" I questioned. Seth smiled a bit, getting a little deeper in the water so my back was in it.
"I think you two just need marriage counseling," he commented. I rolled my eyes.
"You aren't even taking this seriously are you?" I asked.
Seth looked at my face.
"I think this is just something you two are going through because of the stress. All of us are having some difficulties right now. With my dad gone, and then Jake is taking his problems out of all of us. And to make it more stressed, everyone is worrying about you and Bella, then the Cullens are having troubles with the pack…it's all just a big mess," he explained smiling a bit.
I nodded looking at him.
"Yeah…maybe," I mumbled.
It was quiet after that and I put my head down on his shoulder again, sighing.
"Thanks for coming out here. I know it must've been bad timing," I said with a nervous smile.
Seth shook his head with a small laugh.
"Of course not. You're my imprint. It's what I'm supposed to do," he concluded proudly. I lifted my head and looked at his gentle face.
I shook my head, frowning sadly.
"What do you see in me Seth?" I questioned softly. His face turned to confusion as I shrugged slowly.
"It's just…all I do is complain. And then all I can think of is "Jacob this, Jacob that". I know it hurts your feelings…yet you keep…" I trailed off and recognition came on his face.
"Loving you?" he raised. I nodded and he shrugged, spinning again.
"I want to be there for you. In any way I can. Whether it be as a shoulder to cry on or just a verbal punching bag," he said with a small laugh. I felt guilty and he lifted me more when I looked down.
"I don't mind," he said with a smile in his voice.
"I do. I'm so selfish," I admitted. Seth shook his head.
"No. You're just…confused," he said. I nodded quickly, staring at the water still.
"That's sure right." Seth chuckled again before I felt him looking at my face.
"I just like being close to you. To help you as much as possible. As much as you'll let me," he started. I stared at the water surprised and he sighed a bit.
"Really I'm the selfish one, because when I am with you…I don't want to leave. It's not like I want to let Jacob have you…but it's what you want. And that's all that matters to me," he said gently.
I raised my eyes and looked at him. Seth smiled softly nodding a little.
"You being happy is everything to me. You're my world now and that won't change, no matter what you feel," he said shutting his eyes.
I stared at Seth with so much…astonishment. I had no idea that he felt this strongly about me. I didn't even see it. Every time, every second, he was with me, he cherished to the fullest. Because he was in love with me.
Because he imprinted on me.
It was after he said all of this, that I knew Seth was important to me. That he meant more to me than I left myself believe. I didn't think it would affect me when I found out he imprinted on me because I was in love with Jacob.
But now…I felt so…light around him. So natural.
The water wrapped around us gently as he moved, his eyes still shut. I watched him, my arms around his neck loosely.
Even now he was treasuring the moment he had with me.
My fingertip traced Seth's jaw line and he came back to reality, stopping his movements in the water. He opened his brown eyes and smiled at me.
"You look like you are thinking," he commented. I nodded some, both of us staring at each other.
Why was it when I was with Seth, he made me forget my problems? Just for a while. No matter what happened I knew he wasn't going to judge me or leave my side.
I put my hand on his neck and he stared at me carefully.
I knew what I was doing, but I wanted to see how it made me feel.
I wanted to see, feel, what Seth was feeling right now. Every time we were together, I just wanted to feel what he felt.
I leaned up some, watching him. Seth's eyes got darker, his grip on me tightening some, as he leaned down.
I could tell he was trying to fight back the urge. That what he wanted to do and what he should do were tearing him apart.
I stopped, making it his choice now. He could pull away, or go forward. It seemed as though Seth never got a say in it anymore.
He looked at my eyes before grazing his lips with mine. The instant we touched he made up his mind, pressing his lips on mine gently.
I felt a flying sensation in my chest as we kissed. It was so soft. So light. It wasn't intense emotion or needy like when Jacob and I kissed. A more fire type of feeling.
This was a connection. Like water. Flowed gently, giving one emotion at a time instead of tons at once. It washed through both of us, making us both complete.
I put my hand on his cheek gently and felt him relax under the touch. The water around me spun softly around us, giving us a gentle whirlpool.
I felt Seth's sadness and want for me. Sad to say I felt the same.
Unknown to me, I was recognizing each time joy filled my veins, each joyful feeling representing the happiness he felt for me. The sadness he felt when I was away showed with the burning in my chest, and the craving to just be near me showed when my body tingled.
We pulled away slowly. I opened my eyes in a small daze and looked at him. His look was pained as he looked down.
"I shouldn't have-"
I hugged him tenderly, my arms around his neck securely. I put my cheek on his shoulder as I smiled warmly, my eyes half lidded.
"I'm glad you did," I whispered, swaying my feet contently.
Seth just sat there for a moment before moving again, putting his head on mine.
"I am too," he admitted. I shut my eyes, enjoying my guardians abnormal warmth.
I think…I feel strongly for Seth. Very, very strongly.
*whistle*
Now that is deep. Tell me what you think! Review review! Thanks for reading and I'll see ya next time!
