I stood outside Bella's hospital room. When I had gotten home from Seth's my dad told me Bella dump Edward and took off. I knew there was more to it than that, but for now I took the story.

I was at the hospital because Bella apparently went to Edward who tried to stop her from leaving and she fell down a flight of stairs. I didn't know what happened, but for now this was the story everyone is going with.

I was staying to make sure everything's okay. I may not like Bella, but she is my sister.

I was pulled from my thoughts by my phone ringing. I gave a sigh before answering. "Hello?"

"Did you forget something?" Jared's voice asked.

"No." I answered hesitantly.

"Really? Not even a state with a heartbroken imprint three hours ago." My eyes widen in alarm as I turned to the clock that read 12.

"Shot. Seth. Crap is he upset?"

"She called wanting tear into you because Seth hasn't come out of his. You really hurt the kid." I felt guilt fill me as I bit my lip.

"Damn it. Jared do you think you could pick me up. I'm at the hospital. My sister got hurt. I lost all track of time. Damn it, Sets is probably so upset."

"Relax. Sam called your dad to check in on you. I'm already pulling up now. Get out here so you can go apologize to the kid." I ignored the kid part and hung up.

Seth was probably upset and would not doubt not forgive me easily. I didn't mean to forgot, but I'm sure it won't matter much to him.

I walked outside and saw Jared sitting and waiting for me. "Hey Jar. Thank you so much for this."

"No problem. We can't have the kid upset with you." Jared said with a cooked grin, causing me to roll my eyes.

"I didn't plan on missing the date." I mumbled as he started the truck and head to the Clearwaters.
.................................................
I started up to Sue's house, Jared driving back to Sam's. I knocked on the door, hoping Seth answered, but instead it was Sue who answered. "You're a little late." I gave a sigh and glanced up at Sue.

"Can I just apologize to Seth. I didn't mean to forget the date. I was just having family problems and forgot about the date." She signed and looked at me.

"Sam called me to tell me. I understand, but I'm not the one who you have to get to understand." Sue looked at the stairs behind her. "His room is at the end of the hall to the left. Knock before entering." Sue told me before walking away and leaving the door open.

I headed upstairs to his bedroom, taking deep breathe and knocking on his door. I heard a 'go away' from his room causing me to sigh. Even his voice sounded heart broken. I knocked again, but this time louder. "Seth, it's me. Can we talk for a moment?" I asked him. At first I got nothing, but silence. I almost gave up and headed back to Sam's, but before I could even turn away, the door opened to a bloodshot eyed Seth. My heart broke seeing how upset he was. I hurt him so much by not showing up and all I wanted to do was make it up to him. "I know you probably don't want to talk to me or even see me, but can we talk? Please?" He was quiet for a moment before nodding and walking into his room. I followed him into his room and sat down on his bed as he leaned against the wall by his closet.

"What are you doing here?" Seth asked, breaking the awkward silence that had filled the air.

"To apologize. I really didn't mean to miss our date." Seth's eyes fell at the mention of it, which made my heart feel like it was being squeezed to death.

"You didn't have to come all this way to apologize." He mumbled, but something told he did appreciate me coming all this way.

"I want to. You deserve to at least hear why I didn't show up." Seth's eyes lifted and met mine.

"Why didn't you?" He asked. "Did you change your mind or-

"Seth I wanted to go on the date with you." I told him and I saw hope shine in his eyes. I should feel happy that he still liked me, but I only felt sad because I made him hurt this bad. "It's just... My dad called freaking out because my sister had ran off, so I had to go home and check on him. Then he got a call last night saying Bella was in the hospital and... well it just got really hectic and I totally forgot I had a date with you. I feel awful and I'm really sorry about forgetting." I said, looking at him with sad eyes. I didn't expect his forgiveness, I just wanted his understanding.

I waited, but Seth just kept his eyes to the ground, not saying a word. My heart ache, but I forced myself to stand up from his bed. "I just wanted you to understand that I didn't just stood you up. I really was looking forward to that date with you, but I can understand if you're mad at me." Seth's eyes shot up and met mine.

"I'm not mad." I looked at him surprised. His voice wasn't filled with the earlier sadness, but of kindness and softness.

"You're not?" I asked. He shook his head at me, his hair falling slightly into his eyes. I had to fight the erg to move forward and brush it out of his honey brown eyes.

"I'm just confused." I gave him a confused look as he told me this.

"Why? I told you why I didn't show up."

"I'm not confused as to why you didn't show up, as you said you already explained that to me. I'm just confused as to why you wanted me to know why you didn't show up so badly. In case you didn't notice I'm barely 15. You're already 17. I'm just some kid. Most girls wouldn't even look my way and here you are honestly feeling guilty about not showing up to the date with me, a 15 year old kid." I sighed and walked over to him, he gave me a confused look, but I ignored it as I pushed the troublesome hair from his eyes.

"It's because I like you, Seth. You're sweet and funny. I don't care if you're two years younger. I really like you." His eyes met mine, the both of us giving each other honest smiles.

"I really like you too, Amy." I smiled at him even more.

"Good, so you wouldn't mind if I did this." He gave me a confused look, but I didn't bother answering his confusion, instead I did what I had been wanting since I first met him. I kissed him.

So I didn't put Lucy or Luna in it as I had planned. I decided I'm going to put Lucy in the third book, which will take place during Eclipse. I'm putting Luna in the next one, so hope you enjoyed this so far. There will be a sequel soon and I'm going to have it be called Loyalty due to many things that will happen in the sequel. Also my cast got all messed up, so I had to go and fix it, for the fifth time, and so it's now better. I hope to see you guys in my next Twilight story, but until then I hope you've enjoyed The Outsider
