Bella's Younger Sister

Chapter 29

I walked over to my bike and hopped on. I rode on the path until I got to the beach. It starts to rain, more like pour, just as I put my bike in the rack thing. I never knew the name for that. No one is here because of the rain. I start to spin around in the rain. I haven't done this in a while. I live n the rainiest place in the US and I haven't spent much time in the rain, what's up with that? After a little while I started to get dizzy so I sat down, a good 10 feet from the shore, and watched the waves.

I sat there for who knows how long, just watching the waves and thinking about school starting next month, why Seth would join Sam's group, and what ever else popped into my head. I have seen Bella hanging out with Jake and them so why can't I? Did Seth never like me? Is that why he said all of those things? I know that Bella know's something about them. I can tell. Is the reason why he doesn't want to hang out with me anymore because I was being too clingy? I would have changed that, I mean, he didn't have to brake off our friendship for crying out loud.

I got up and started to walk towards my bike when I heard someone calling my name. I know that voice, Seth. I don't want to see him right now. I sped up my pace a little bit, but he managed to catch up. He grabbed my upper arm gently. When he touched my arm, it felt like sparks flew through my body. "Hey Maya. Why are you out in the rain?"

I can feel tears start to brim my eye's. I refuse to let them fall though. I will not let them fall. Even though it is raining he can tell if I am crying, everyone can. I take a deep breath before before turning around. "I'm going home." I try to keep my voice even, I don't think that it's working. I think he can hear my voice quiver.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I have to get home and make dinner though." I lied. We always go out for dinner, I am getting tired of that though.

"No you guy's always go out for dinner. Tell me."

"You want to know what's wrong?" He nods his head. "Okay, I will tell you. We were happy, I get that your father just died, but I was just trying to reach out to you so I can help you. What do you do? You tell me that you hate me and never want to see me again. The worst part was that it was over a text, I mean, couldn't you at least come over to tell me or have me come over. Telling me what you told me hurt as much as getting run over by a bus, twice." I yell at him. I probably sound like a bitch right now, but I don't care. I am pissed off. "I just wanted to know why. Why you said those things, why are you with Sam's group when you promised me that you would never join them. Why is Bella aloud to hang out with you guy's but I'm not? Why did you hurt me when you promised that you wouldn't." I say the last question really quietly. Somehow he heard me though.

I finally let the tears fall. Seth went to wipe my tears away, but he re-thought and dropped his hand. "I really want to tell you why I said those things, and I will, I promise. I came to tell you that you can hang out with us. I was just upset because of my dad and because of the thing that I will tell you about later." He looks into my eye's and I got lost in his brown eye's. I just saw them somewhere, I can't remember where though. "I never meant to hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you. I don't ever want to hurt you." He leans down, and before I could process what is happening, our lips connect. His hands go to my neck and face. My arms slide around his neck and into his hair.

When we kissed before it was similar to this, but not the same. Now it feels like atomic bombs. No nuclear bombs. No, there is nothing in the world that can describe how good this kiss feels. He licks my bottom lip and I allow him to enter. Our tongues fight for dominance but sadly he wins. He moves his body closer so our bodies are touching. He finally pulled away. "I promise you, I will never hurt you again. I will protect you from anything and everything." My breathing is heavy and I can't help but smile at him.

"I don't want you to leave me like that again."

"Never."

"You will tell me why you did though right?"

"As soon as you are warm and dry." I grab my bike and we walk to his house. I never want to loose Seth like that again.
