Note: Thanks to the reviewers-

Guest- You're a strong and loyal woman to have been able to do that. Not everyone is able to give up the comfort of their family for love. Your husband is lucky to have you and so are you to have found such love. :)

Shakilove- Yeah, Bianca is horrible. I'm actually proud if my words could make you feel that kind of emotion.

polly2010- she is!

Enjoy!

Chapter 22

April was so confused! What was with this guy canoodling her! As soon as everyone dispersed April shoved him away.

"What the hell?" April asked looking at him while rubbing her cheek. That woman could slap! April had never been hit. Her parents weren't the kind.

"Does it hurt?" Seth asked moving towards her and covering her hand where it rubbed her cheek.

April blushed. His hand felt good on her cheek. It was cold out and his hand was like a hot compress. Why was he so hot any ways?

"Ermm...good genes!?" Seth said as he smiled at her.

April was red. She had said that aloud without meaning too.

"Arrhmm.. thanks, you know for standing up for me although it wasn't needed. I can take care of myself." April said lifting her chin as if to look taller.

Seth chuckled "no problem"

"ok...so good night!" April said as she tried to rush back inside. She wanted to go home now.

"Wait!" Seth said as he held her delicate wrist in his calloused hands and subconsciously rubbed his thumb over the inside of her wrist.

April shivered. It was a delicious feeling.

She turned to face him a little meekly.

"Let me drop you home."

"I think I'm going with Rosie."

"Rosie just left with old John. Someone is locking up the cafe now." Seth said.

"Oh...well, if it's not any trouble." April said. She knew the house was close but wasn't completely familiar with the way. Rosie and then Seth had driven her and she hadn't exactly been paying attention to the route but the scenery. She regretted t now though. Now she'd owe him one.

Seth flashed her a brilliant grin. He walked her to his truck.

He forgot to open her door for her though. And looked panicked but she was already comfortable in her seat.

"So, I heard you just completed high school." Seth said wanting to know her better and get in her good books. He hadn't really made a remarkable first impression.

"Yeah." April said and wondered what else he had heard.

"OK...so what do you plan do to now? I know you probably get that a lot but I'm genuinely curious." Seth said. He had been managing his mother's diner which was doing fine.

April sighed. Ever since she had completed school everyone had been asking her but she figured she might have done the same.

"Not sure. I just want to take some time before I decide what I wanna do. I haven't really figured it out. I've been out of it a little I guess." April said feeling slightly deflated. She had been feeling strange for a couple of months before she decided to get out of Boston. It was like she was needed somewhere else but even she didn't know where. Then Bianca had mentioned to her mother how she was going to be travelling to Forks to see Jo and she had asked permission to travel with her.

Seth frowned. It just occurred to him that she may not stay. She may leave with Bianca and that may happen very soon since she wasn't going to stay for long after tonight's debacle. Nobody had sided with her and her stupid views. She knew she wasn't wanted here if she didn't change her mind about them. You really couldn't stay on tribe land if you made it publicly clear how lowly you thought of them.

"You're going to stay for a while aren't you?" Seth asked concerned. He didn't want her to leave at all.

"I really don't know. If I did stay what would I do? I don't want to use my college fund for everyday expenses." April said frowning. She really needed to get her shit together.

"You can work at my diner! Actually mom's but I manage it and everything." Seth said excitedly.

"You have vacancy or are you doing this just for me?" April asked curiously

"Err.. is that a trick question? I mean we always need extra hands during rush hour. It's pretty hectic." Seth said honestly

"Let me think about it. I don't even know if I'm going to stay." April said with a shrug.

Seth was worried and he glanced nervously at her. He didn't know what he'd do if she decided to leave.

They reached Rosie's house and they parted with awkward waves.

As soon as she was inside Seth rushed to find Paul.

Boom!#%^ !

Paul groaned. He had only just got Jo to calm down and they were getting intimate when he sensed Seth's presence which he made all the more obvious with his awesome entrance.

"What's wrong?" Jo asked panting. Paul had been palming her and she was feeling more relaxed than before and wanted to do more but why did they stop...and was there a crash?

"Is there someone here?" Jo asked worried about intruders.

"Yes, someone who should be home in bed or with their better halves, wooing them." Paul said loudly enough for Seth to hear.

"I need to talk to Jo" Seth said urgently.

Paul growled. The actual fuck!

"Look it's about April. Please!" Seth said desperately.

"Seth wants to talk to you." Paul told Jo rubbing his forehead.

"What about?" Jo asked confused as she stood up to dress again.

"April" Paul said with a pointed look and Jo nodded.

They headed down to see a very nervous looking Seth in the living room but why was their front door off its hinges?

Paul growled and snarled," what the hell Seth?"

"Sorry I was in a hurry and didn't open it carefully so it kinda came off" Seth said looking sheepish.

"What do you want to know?" Jo asked sitting down while Paul went to get his tools to mend the door.

"Actually I want you to convince her to stay here!" Seth said sitting beside her.

"How am I supposed to do that? She's always been a free spirit and she doesn't take well to people telling her what to do." Jo said frankly

"Please! Just convince her to stay for a few days at least. It'll buy me time to get to know her and make her stay!" Seth pleaded.

"I'll try" Jo said with a shrug. She liked them both and it would be nice to have someone she had known before she came here to stay at La Push. And April certainly was going to since she was an imprint now. Jo hoped she wouldn't give Seth a very hard time. He was nice although a little silly but that had endeared him to her.

"Thanks! You are the best!" Seth said as he hugged her and kissed her cheek but immediately had to spit because he tasted Paul!

Jo blushed embarrassed while Paul growled.

"Sorry! I didn't know you guys were, you know." Seth said stupidly

"Get out, Seth" Paul roared

"Bye Jo! Thanks!" Seth said as he moved out.

But he paused and before Paul could react hugged him and kissed his cheek gleefully and ran out the door.

Paul looked stunned while Jo laughed heartily. He was such a kid!

AN: Hey guys! What did you think of this chapter? I find Seth to be so adorable! :)

Ok, I just wanted to inform you that I may not be able to update for a day or two. I'm going to be traveling. I'm sorry!
