SethXoc Disclaimer =[ I own no twilight content *sniff sniff* god that was hard Chapter one: new home
I opened the door to the room chief swan said would be my new room. From what his wife sue said it used to belong to his daughter Bella then it belonged to her daughter Leah and now it was mines. It was pretty, a little plain but quaint. I really didn't mind, anything was better then the last foster parents who took me in. I had to share a room with five other girls, three beds a futon and a cot. And guess who got the cot? So having a room all to myself was pretty awesome if you asked me.
I dropped my duffle bag on the bed and pulled out my most prized possession. It was a picture of my family. My mom and dad and my older brother Armando. It was on our trip to see mom's family in Puerto Rico. I wanted so bad to smile at the memory, but thinking of my family made me think of that night.
All I can honestly remember from that night is when I got home, after staying out past curfew the house was a mess. Things were tossed ,tables turned over, and there was blood everywhere. I remember calling the police and never getting to finish the call because I was attacked from behind. I shuddered at the scar across my back. It went strait from my right shoulder down to me left hip bone. The next thing I know, I was waking up in the hospital and the police officer informed me that my family's bodies had not been found but their blood was all over the house. To much blood to hope for their survival if they were ever found.
"Catalina?"
I jumped and looked up at the door. Charlie was standing there with two boxes, sue was behind him with two more.
"let me help" I said running over to sue and taking a box off her hands.
"thanks dear" she said smiling. I smiled back and walked into the room putting the box on the bed.
"I painted the room white so you could paint it whatever color you feel like, this room is you canvas. Debbie told me you liked to paint" Charlie mumbled as he put the boxes on the floor near a desk. Debbie is my social worker. "we can go up to the town's hard wear store tomorrow and pick up some colors if you'd like" he finished standing up and rubbing his shoulder.
"I wish Seth were around to help out" sue said walking over to her husband and rubbing both his shoulders.
"Seth?" I asked opening the box on my bed and pulling out my little things, like my few books, a stuffed rabbit Mandy (Armando) got me, a desk lamp.
"yes Seth is my son he's twenty four" sue said picking up the desk lamp and putting it on the desk. "he lives with a few friends on the reservation. You will meet him soon enough though, his job keeps him busy"
I nodded, I think she mentioned something about having a son on the car ride here but I didn't pay that much attention.
"oh Catalina" sue was on her way out the room but stopped and looked back at me "Charlie's granddaughter will be spending the summer with us. She should be here by tomorrow and she will be sharing a room with you if you don't mind."
I shrugged "doesn't really bother me" I mumbled "but there's only one bed" I pointed out looking at the room.
"she has a spring up bed that goes under yours don't worry about that" she said smiling. "it will be going into the room tomorrow."
"cool so what's my summer roommates name?" I asked looking at Charlie. This guy was not one to talk.
"Renesmee" he said looking a little uncomfortable. He must really not be a people person. "but Nessie is fine she prefers it."
"I see, well since we're on the topic of nick names you can just call me Lina. When I get called Catalina I feel like I am in trouble" I laughed a little trying to lighten the mood.
"Lina it is" sue said finally reaching the door Charlie on her tail "well you can stay here and start getting unpacked. Me and Charlie are going to head out to the grocery store really quick to pick up a few things for you welcome home dinner tonight. Leah, Seth, and a few of there friends should be stopping by but that wont be until around six"
"really it's fine I don't need a big dinner in my honor" I said smiling.
"oh hush up" she answered smiling "the guys are always looking for an excuse to feast they just happened to use you"
I smiled "well then if it for others benefit who am I to say no?"
Charlie actually smiled and leaned over to give me a playful punch in the shoulder. "that's the spirit kid" he said following sue down the stairs and out the door.
I looked out my window to see them pull out and drive off. This was a pretty small town, doesn't look like I could get into much trouble here. I smirked and thought of why I didn't stay with my last foster family. I had cut Silvia's (one of the foster girls there) long blonde hair in her sleep as a result of her putting bubble gum in mines.
I walked to the mirror to see my curly cherry apple red hair bouncing around my face and above my shoulders. It used to reach my middle back but now that was gone. The red color was an act of rebellion I had done a while back with the last family as well and it kind of just stuck. What can I say? Red looks good on me.
I pulled out a pair of faded black skinny's with holes and a plain white tee my purple briefs and a matching bra and walked over to the bathroom. After a quick shower I ran into my room in the tee an briefs deciding I didn't like the way the jeans went with the tee. It seamed to depressing. I almost smirked at the thought of being depressed. Even after what happened with my family I still refused to be depressed over it. Mom would have been disappointed if I was, that was just the kind of person she was.
I popped in my headphones and hit play on my ipod singing along to bidi bidi bom bom by Selena. I had to admit it wasn't the most requested song out there at least not this many years after its release but it was catchy.
I smiled and started looking through the boxes for my favorite pair of angel skinny jeans. They would go perfect with the new outfit I had in mind. that's when I noticed one of the boxes were missing. As I reached the top of the stairs I could see it by the door. I drummed the beat and sang my way down and opened the box. There at the top were my jeans. I smiled and decided I would pick up a snack before I went back up, but just as I started singing the coarse and turned into the kitchen I saw a man. A huge tanned man.
He was standing by the fridge holding a glass pitcher of lemonade. I froze an stared at him fear running through my like an electric shock freezing me to my spot on the floor. He looked at me shocked as well. He seamed caught of guard and the pitcher in his hand slipped. We both stood in place and that's when my first thought was processed robber. The glass shattering was like a loud gunshot at the beginning of a race and I took it as my cue to run. I didn't scream, didn't blink, just pushed off the doorframe and made a run for the front door.
I hadn't noticed that a huge piece of the once beautiful and painted pitcher had slid into the hall I was in before it was to late and I stepped on it. I let out a whimper and fell to the ground. I forced myself to stand back up and keep running but before I could make it to the door the large man was right behind me.
"no wait please!" he yelled
I didn't bother to listen to his coaxing words. He only wanted to calm me down so he wouldn't get caught. I'm no fool.
When I made it to the door he was right behind me I couldn't open it on time before he put his hand on it making it impossible to open. I shrieked an ducked under him and ran for the stairs, forgetting about my already bleeding foot I slammed it on the bottom stair and my knees buckled from the pain. I tumbled onto the stairs and turned back to the large man who looked almost hurt.
"please, I'm not going to hurt you" he said almost desperately.
"yeah like I believe that you creep!" I yelled
When he attempted to reach for me I kicked back with my good foot and caught him in the nose. He grunted and my once good leg was seething with pain. I whimpered and collapsed on the stairs burying my face in my arms.
This was it, the maniac who killed my family found me. He was going to kill me. I should have known I couldn't get away.
I herd the door open and a few people were laughing, voices I didn't recognize.
"so is mom okay with us stopping by earlier then plan…ed"
I looked back to see a group of men (an few boys )and one tall beautiful girl staring at me in my shit and briefs on the stairs with blood gushing from my foot.
"what the hell did you do Seth!" the girl yelled outraged and shoved the man who was staring at me in shock.
"I… I didn't…I would never…" he seemed a loss for words.
The woman rushed over to me an examined my foot. "damn this is deep" she saw my other and I think she growled "her other foot is swelling up! What the hell did you do to this kid!" she yelled at the man. I know now wasn't the right time but hey! I'm no kid! I was seventeen years old damnit! He seemed hurt by her accusation I mean this guy physically flinched. "Brady since you're the one in medical school take her upstairs and help her out" she ordered.
On of the boyish looking guys stepped out from the group of freakishly tall guys and walked over to me. When he reached for me I backed away glaring, at least trying to I can almost promise I looked as scary as a wounded kitten.
"hey you" he said smiling "you're the new girl right? The one sue and Charlie are taking in? listen my name Brady and I promise I wont hurt you. I just need to get you upstairs so I can take a look at your feet ok?"
He seemed so innocent and sincere I couldn't help but agree. He easily scooped me up into his arms and carried me upstairs. I almost flinched when I felt how hot this guy was. I mean he was burning up. I thought I herd a growl come from down stairs and peeked over Brady's shoulder to see the one named Seth glaring up at me. I flinched and hid behind that same shoulder again and almost could have sworn I herd him groan.
Brady walked us to the bathroom and placed me on the toilet.
"is your room the one Leah used to have?" he asked looking away from me a blush making its way across his cheeks.
"yeah why?" I asked confused as to why he wanted to know where my room was.
"do you have like pants or short in there yet?" he seemed uncomfortable
That's when I realized I was still in my briefs I almost shrieked but decided against it and just sighed. "yeah the box by the desk should have my cheerleading shorts" I mumbled. No sooner had I said it had the guy run out of the bathroom.
"catch" I looked up and caught the shorts putting them on while Brady waited outside the bathroom.
"done" I said sitting back on the toilet.
"cool now that your decent lets get to work" he said smiling and walking to the cupboard under the sink and pulling out a bottle of alcohol, a gauze pad, and some medical tape. I gave him a look and he returned a confused one.
"you really don't think I'm going to let you put that invention of doom on my foot do you?" to emphasize my distaste for alcohol I shivered.
Brady laughed out loud "wow that's the first I herd that alcohol was an invention of doom"
"your telling me you didn't know?" I asked in mock shock "it was all over the news last week"
"nope must have missed that one" he returned with a smile "you know though, its not all that bed see?" and that's when he drizzled it all over my cut foot
"that hurts you jerk!" I yelled and grabbed the bottle of crème on the sink next to me and whipped it at his head.
"hey! Watch it!" he yelled back as he tumbled backwards from the crème impact, into the door. The towel rack came unloose a fell on top of him in a big crash.
"jeeze!" I yelled jumping to the floor and snatching the rack off him "hey are you ok I'm so sorry!" but his eyes were closed and he was slumped against the door.
"what the hell happened?" I looked up to see the tall girl and the intruder behind her with a worried expression standing in the doorway.
"I think I killed him!" I said panicked but as the words left my mouth Brady burst out laughing. I looked at him shocked wasn't this guy just out cold?
"ha! You killed me? As if! Your so gullible!" he said in between fits of laughter. that's when I realized he was faking. I could have really killed this guy for pranking me but figured why beat the living daylights out of him? When I can join him? I put my hand to my forehead and started losing balance.
"I feel faint" I whispered and collapsed to the ground. Happy my hair covered my face so no one could see my smirk.
"what the hell did you do Brady!" the intruder yelled
"ahh shit!" Brady yelled and I felt myself yanked into arms. They were warm so I assumed they were Brady's
"hey! New girl! Hey you need to wake up!" It was Brady, and he was shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him.
"Brady?" I whispered sounding as weak as possible.
"yeah?" he asked leaning in "what is it?"
I motioned with my head for him to get closer and he did, once his ear was by my mouth I smiled.
"your so gullible" I whispered.
He stiffened and pulled back looking at me shocked. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. As I sat up and looked at him his faced changed from shock to amusement and he started laughing not too long after that. The girl in the door giggled a little and the intruder stomped away in a fit. I was a little confused about that and deciding the guy must not be an intruder like I originally had thought considering he was still in the house.
"she got you ugly Brady" the woman said
"yeah she did" Brady said calming down.
I smiled "don't try and pull one over on me if you don't want it back at you ten times worse"
"good to know" he smiled and stood up taking me with him and sitting me on the toilet "now lets get this cleaned up for real now" he finished
I nodded and looked up at the girl curiously. She must have known why because she introduced herself.
"hey I'm Leah, you're the new girl my mom and Charlie have taken in right?" she asked
"yeah Lina, nice to meet you" I said extending my hand over Brady.
"that idiot down stairs who scared you was Seth, my brother, he explained what happened it no wonder you got scared not knowing who he was an all" she finished.
I felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment
"you mean that guy was Seth? Sue's Seth? Her son?" I choked out
"the one and only" she smirked
I buried my face in my hands shook my head around. I felt like such an idiot! Letting my fears get the better of me and running away from someone who has more right to be in this house then I do.
"all set!" Brady said looking at my bandages leg "and look the other one's swelling went down so we don't need to worry about it"
"cool, mom and Charlie are here why don't you go help downstairs and I will help Lina here get dressed" Leah ordered holding out a hand for me to take. Once I did she looped it around her shoulder and helped me hop to my room. After a few hours of her helping me unpack and get dress under strict orders from sue that I wasn't allowed downstairs until she finished cooking I was finally out of things to do and it was close to six. I had cable in the room and me and Leah had ordered a few movies off fearnet making fun of all of them and their stupid plots. We were in the middle of the wolfman rip off the wolf girl.
"this one has got to be the worst off all" I muttered stuffing my head in the pillows.
"hey don't mock the wolf kid you might get yourself bit" she replied, I thought there was an underling meaning to that one. But chose to ignore it.
"there are things worse then an imaginary wolf" I muttered looking over to my family picture.
"like?" she too was looking at the picture.
I shook my head "nothing just rambling" I muttered standing up and walking over to the dresser. It was hot as hell an there was no a\c in the room yet. I had gotten sweat stains on my white tee and pulled out a hot pink one. Before I noticed my mistake I had the shirt off and my scar in plain view of Leah.
"what the hell happened to you kid!" she all but yelled and stood behind me. I looked back and smiled like I did every time I accidentally let someone see the scar.
"boating accident" I answered simply pulling the fitted tee over myself and pulling the dangling pink strawberry necklace out.
"what the hell kind of boating accident were you in?" she asked shock clear as day on her face.
"an old harpoon that was on the wall got loose an sliced me on its way down"
Leah looked at me as if she was contemplating on if I was lying or not.
"ok Lina! Come one down!" sue yelled from down stairs.
Leah gave me a look like the conversation wasn't over. And ran down the stairs before me. I smiled and checked myself in the mirror before I met the new people in my life. I had the pink tee my spunky red curls were somewhat tamed and I had on my favorite angel skinny's and gold flats. Yup I looked good.
I descended at stairs and made a note to make sure there was absolutely no more glass. Kind of a stupid thought but hey I need to start learning from my mistakes. I walked into the small kitchen and was shocked it could hold all of the tall muscled boys, sue, Charlie, Leah, and a few other girls.
"WELCOME HOME!" they all yelled and Brady threw confetti on my direction.
I laughed and looked at all of them. Even though I really only had met about four people out of the what looked to be fifteen that were there.
"Lina sweetheart, me and Charlie would really like to welcome you as a member of this family for your stay here and even afterwards if things go well" sue said walking over and giving me a hug. I couldn't help but hug her back with as much love as she hugged me with.
"thank you so much sue" I said into her hair "this means a lot"
She pulled back and smiled and I really got a look at the place. The kitchen was PACKED with food. I think she might have been expecting more people but I didn't mention it. A huge welcome home banner was on the far back wall very sloppily painted. And there were yellow and green streamers all over the place.
"hey faker you like my sign back there?" Brady asked walking up to me. I smirked and looked back up at his handy work "yeah its pretty trashed if you ask me"
He held his heart and staggered a bit "that hurt Lina, that hurt real bad" he cried
I just Laughed and was introduced to my guests.
There was Jake, Sam, Emily, Quil, Claire, Embry, Collin, jarred, Kim, Paul, Rachel, and then the people I had already met Brady, Leah, Charlie, and Sue. I stopped and looked around for Seth I really wanted to apologize for over reacting but he was nowhere in sight.
I felt terrible, I scared of Sue's son. God I was horrible.
