Chapter 3

"YOU CAN'T JUST TURN AROUND EVERY TIME YOU'RE MAD AT ME SO I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!" 

"Emmett!" Esme gasped, making the guilty boy turn around slowly. "Apologize now." 

"Oh but it's okay for her to turn around so she can't see what I have to say when she's mad at me?" The burly vampire was pouting, not enjoying his scolding as Hazel watched from the couch with a smirk. 

"What did she even do to upset you?" Esme asked. Right away Rosalie and Edward started giggling. 

He started to mumble something in hopes of Esme not hearing, but after a stern look he gave in. "She rigged the house when we were gone so that I'd think there was a ghost." 

Blinking, she looked back and forth between Hazel and Emmett before bursting into a fit of laughter. "The student surpasses the master!" 

"C'mon Em, you taught me everything I know. But just a warning, you might not wanna go into the bathroom anytime soon if you're still freaked," Hazel jumped up to kiss his cheek before grabbing Rosalie's hand and pulling her towards the kitchen. 

Hours later she was walking home from the treaty line when she noticed a car pulled off to the side of the road, the hood popped open. Her first initial reaction was to walk faster to avoid any confrontation, but after she had crossed to the other side of the road she squinted and saw a distraught Seth leaning over the car. 

Crossing back over to the other side she spoke, "Do you need help?" Hearing Hazel's voice caught him off guard, immediately turning red he went to look up only to hit his head on the hood. Hard. "Are you okay?" This time her voice was filled with worry. 

"No, I'm okay. Don't worry it's all good in the hood - or under the hood. I'm fine." Rubbing his head his eyes moved over to look at his imprint. She wore an oversized flannel an black jeans, hair once again falling into her face.

 She looked perfect. 

"May I?" She gestured to the car to which he nodded in response. "Oh this isn't too bad. You just gotta clean your EGR valve." She grabbed the tool and rag from Seth, their hands brushing slightly making a shiver run down his spine. He watched as she leaned over, carefully taking care of the issue. "You're probably gonna have to clean it with some throttle body cleaner soon but that should get you home at least." 

Pulling back from the car she smiled at him and at that moment he thought he was about to collapse from the feelings she was sending to his heart. "How did you know all that? I hang out with Jacob and I don't even know that stuff."

"My friend Rose taught me. She a wiz when it comes to cars." Seth nodded before realizing who she meant. 

"I could give you a ride home if you want. As a thanks for making it to where I can get home," he laughed. In agreement the drove silently before pulling up to her house where he felt the shift in her demeanor upon seeing a rusted truck in the driveway. 

"Thanks. I'll see you around," Hazel mumbled in a rush, jumping out before he could stop her. 

In the house she could already feel the anger. For a moment she thought about how much it must suck for Jasper to have to feel so much. Beer bottles were thrown all around the floor, take out on the coffee table and the TV was playing. 

On the couch was Bruce fast asleep. Thanking anything that would listen in her mind that he wasn't awake she sighed realizing he was in her spot. Making her way to Elliot's room she looked at his tiny bed that hadn't been touched in over a week since he was admitted to the hospital again and quietly went to the closet to put some blankets on the floor, taking his pillow and going to sleep. But first she remembered to lock the door. 

Shorter chapter but I thought it was cute <3
