                                                                                   Recap

Aislin's POV

Seth used one of his fingers to go under my chin and have me look at him, "Aislin, you're my whole world as well. You don't have to live in a world where I don't exist. Not anymore. But no one is ever going to rip us apart ever again." He leaned down to press our lips together one more time before pulling away and humming a song that had me close my eyes and fall into a beautiful dreamland with just me and Seth.

As I fell into a deeper sleep, Seth's words repeated over and over in my head.

No one is ever going to rip us apart ever again.

I hoped that this time, it would stay true.

End of Recap

Aislin's POV

Apprehension trickled its way throughout my body and forced me to jerk my eyes open and shoot up into a sitting position. Yesterday's events flashed before my eyes vividly and I turned my head to look beside me. It was empty. I felt a sob rise through my chest but refused to cry. I was sick of that. I just didn't want that beautiful moment when we finally had been reunited to be...washed away. As if they never happened.

Just knowing the fact that it could have been a sick twist to my life that I had dreamed it filled me with a deep sense of painful grief. I wanted to scream at the walls, smash something to pieces and let my pain overtake my heart and soul. It had to be true. Seth had been there, holding me...kissing me. It couldn't just not be true. It had to be. Because if it wasn't...I don't know what I would do anymore. The pain would inflict upon me...strangling me to wake me up out of my foolish senses.

Please, please let it be true. Please tell me that my Seth really was alive and that this wasn't a sick joke. I would absolutely die if it were a joke. I would lose every last bit of control I had and just lose it. I wouldn't be able to go on ever again. Permanently.

I tried my best to hold in my sobs as I trailed my fingers along the spot where Seth had been laying, wrapping me in his love.

I quickly shut my eyes and took in a deep breath. Calm down, Aislin. Maybe he's just...getting breakfast. Werewolves need to eat, you know. I let out the breath of air and opened my eyes to stand up, "I'm acting...stupid. Seth was here. He had to have been. It couldn't have just been a sick joke." I whispered sullenly to myself.

I sighed and stood up to throw my hair into a ponytail only to realize that I wasn't in my own room. I was still at Jake's house. I mean...Seth's. I swallowed and allowed my eyes to travel around the room and another realization dawned upon me. I was also still in his room, too.

I bit my lip as I exited the room and quietly slipped downstairs to check if Seth was there. Before I reached the kitchen, I pressed my back against the wall, took a deep breath and slipped in. Seth wasn't in there.

The growing anxiety inside me made a strong lurch in my stomach that made me want to vomit. I felt my mouth go dry once I scanned through the kitchen the sixth time. There were only to people in there and neither one of them was Seth. Instead, it was one of the maids and little Angel sitting on the counter eating applesauce.

Her eyes met mine and she smiled before gracefully sliding down the counter and coming over to me. She held out her hand and gave me a big grin when I just stared at her then at the hand and back at her.
