Love Isn't Just Towards One Person...

Chapter Eight

  [Hello! I apologize for not posting for a couple of days, I recently got the while twilight series and I've been reading ever since! IT'S SO DIFFERENT FROM THE MOVIES, I SWEAR! But the book is marvellous and you guys should get it!  Anyways, this fanfiction will be done in chapter ten. See, the outcome of this book was very unexpected. I wanted this book to be about love toward your Soul Mate, but my love was given to Leah and Seth instead. I will change the description! I am making a new story called "The Miracle Triplets" I am still planning what the story will be about, so stay tuned!]

After a few hours, Sam and Emily left, but Leah and Seth stayed with you. Thankfully, you recovered throughout the day and were able to leave the hospital by dusk. You're going home with an arm cast. You were nervous as Leah drove back to the main house. You planned to meet up with Paul and Jaslene as well. Jaslene will be leaving Forks tomorrow. She had to return because she still had work to do back in the Philippines. When Leah was driving home, there wasn't a deafening silence; Seth was snoring and the radio was set to a medium-low volume.

Finally, you had arrived at your house. In the background, you can see a lit bonfire. Around the bonfire, the Elders, the Pack, Emily, and Jaslene sat. They seemed to be looking forward to seeing you. Seth helped you out of your car. You all head to the bonfire. Paul sat stiff as you walked closer to the bonfire. The elders welcome you back and some hugged you. Sam and Emily gave you a chair to sit on since the logs were full. 

"It's glad to have you back, Reyne. It was a hard 3 days for us. We've missed you." Sue Clearwater said with a soothing tone. You were the center of attention and it felt uncomfortable. 

They were waiting for a response. "Thank you, I really appreciate it." They all smiled and had a small celebration by roasting marshmallows. You tapped Paul on the shoulder as you walked past Jaslene. You motioned him to follow you by pointing to the deck. As you walked to the deck, you also grabbed a blanket. You sat down with Paul, and it was awkward for a few moments until he began to speak.

"I'm sorry, I got carried away with my rage..." he said, staring straight ahead. Paul isn't one to show emotion to others but you could tell he was sorry for what he did for me. 

"It's completely fine, It was an accident. People make them, and they learn from their mistakes. Don't force yourself." You said and comforted him. It felt nice having Paul around, even though he's annoying. He's like a brother to me. You smiled at him and we both walked back to the bonfire. You tried to ignore Jaslene as much as possible. You knew she was going to a lot but it hurts you that she compared the situation to your parent's death. 

***

By the morning, Sam and Emily brought Jaslene to the airport. You didn't come with them though you did say goodbye. You waved at her as they left the lot. You walked into the room to see if she forgot anything behind. There was a note on her bed, it was for you. 

Dear Reyne,

I know I haven't said anything since the incident and to be honest I was being selfish. I didn't want to see you cause I was scared, I didn't want to lose someone again. I was traumatized. I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have let my emotions get to me, but I felt like your real sister was Leah. She cared for you ever since you were little and I was away from you because I wasn't mentally stable enough to take care of you. When we went to the Philippines, I thought we would start fresh, but things got worse as the days went by. So when we got the invitation to the wedding, I was excited and scared. Cause I knew you'd be around Leah the whole trip and when you asked about staying, I was relieved because you'd be staying with someone who loves and cares for you. You also have Seth now. I will be sending you your stuff, I promise I won't forget the boxes under your bed. I hope you stay safe.

-Jaslene

At first, you felt mad, but you accepted the statement. It would be hard to let go of Jaslene, but her point was true. 

When you returned to the kitchen, you found the entire pack sitting there. Seth offers you his seat and takes a spot behind you. The rest of the pack was waiting for Emily and Sam to return. They planned another reception, but this time it would be limited to those we truly trust, as some of the guests had gone to the cops and nearly blew our cover. We told the cop that I was attacked by a bear. Fortunately, the Cullens were out hunting that day and came across a bear. They killed it and handed it over to us to present to the cops as evidence. Billy had to shoot the bear in order for it to appear as if we had killed it.

By noon, Emily and Sam had arrived home and began planning with us. They wanted more of just the dancing portion because they didn't get to do it the first time. While Emily, Leah, and you were deciding on what to wear for the ladies, the boys were thinking of what to wear too. We all just decided to wear the same clothing as last time. We also made sure we were in a proper venue instead of being inside. 

I tapped Seth on the shoulder and whispered to him "Want to be my dance partner?" 

Seth whispered back "Of course, why wouldn't I be your partner?" 

I giggled, "I had to be professional, it feels right to do so!"

You both chuckled and continue discussing with the Pack.
