The Last Time | Seth Clearwater [Completed]

|14| Harry Clearwater

Chapter Fourteen: Harry Clearwater

"What crawled up his arse and died?" Rea Uley remarked as she entered her home. Just so it happened, Isabella Swan had ran and launched herself off a cliff, essentially killing herself. Or it would be if Jacob had not found her in time, causing the tragedies of the day to stay with the one event. Sam looked up at his little sister from his place on the sofa, bags adorning his eyes. She could see he had been crying. "Sammy? What's happened?"

    "Seth." Sam said, ignoring Rea, voice still rough, "Your mother is at home with Leah. She needs to speak with you. It's urgent."

    "Okay... cool. I'll see you later, yeah?" Seth said animatedly, kissing Rea on the cheek before bounding out of the door.

    Rea walked slowly towards Sam, taking two unopened Pepsi cans –one for Sam and one for her- as she headed towards the sofa, taking her seat. Sam took the can gratefully, chugging half of it before setting the drink down.

    He pulled Rea into his arms, holding her close for a minute, recent events still slowly playing over in his mind. And then he began to tell her what had happened, sparing no detail.

    Harry Clearwater was dead.

    Rea let out a shaky sob as Sam continued, arms still wrapped around his little sister. He told her how the attack was caused by him encountering the redhead vampire that had been terrorising the town.

    Harry had been out with Charlie Swan on the hunting trails when he saw her, the shock of seeing her tied in with his already established heart problems sent him over the edge. He died in the early hours of the morning, when Rea and Seth were in the treehouse.

    "Is," Rea began, stopping when she couldn't find the words to speak. Harry had been a surrogate father for her. He raised her when her biological dad had abandoned her for England, "is that what Jacob was angry over?"

    "No."

    "Then what was it? If it wasn't Ha- him, what was he angry over?"

    "About nine o'clock in the morning, Bella came to La Push. To the cliffs actually. She jumped off, suicide."

    Rea's faced fell. Two people that she was close with died in one day. She liked Bella, a lot actually. She knew that they didn't talk enough but Rea also knew that she was very brave for surviving without her Cullen, even though Rea despised the thought of them.

    "She's dead too?"

    "No, Jacob got to her in time."

    "Then what is he mad about?"

    "A Cullen came back to Forks. Said something about the mind reader thinking Bella's dead. The future reader one took her to Italy."

    Rea stared at the floor in silence. Of course she was relieved that Bella was alive but the was extremely pissed at her. How dare she? After all the pack has done for her: given her a home, comfort, friends, a family. And she goes back to the Cullens.

    It would always be the Cullens.
