Seth's POV
"Seth!" Leah squealed as she ran up and pulled me into a big hug.
I had missed her so much since she left La Push to move out here to New York. It would be nice to be able to live with her again. I mean, sure I'm going to miss the rez, but I was following my dream out here in New York! Photography would be easy to pursue out here in the big apple. When I had told my parents about my plans to move out here with Leah, my mom nearly had a heart attack, but after awhile they began to accept it. And now here I am; about to start living with my sister, and start my photography career.
"You have gotten taller!" Leah continued to gush about my growth as I picked up my luggage from the conveyer belt. Leah was holding my carry-on bag.
"Leah, not that I don't love this attention," I said as my cheeks flushed a bright red, "but can we hold off on all the gushing until later?"
"No problem kiddo." She smiled as she messed up my brown shoulder length hair with her free hand.
Once my luggage was in the trunk of her car, we started driving to her apartment. I felt a sudden rush of excitement and anxiety hit me when we got caught in traffic. I began thinking about all the things that I left behind back in La Push. Then sadness had struck me when I thought about how I wouldn't be able to just walk down the road and visit my family anymore. It would be just me and Leah. I didn't know anyone here, and I was assuming that it would be hard to meet people here. But, at least I had my camera right? I had gotten it as a birthday present from my parents. It was a canon digital camera, a big professional camera.
"So, what was it like spending four extra years at home?" Leah asked, breaking me out of my daze.
"Well, it was easy." I shrugged, "I finished community college last year." I smiled.
I was now twenty two years old, and was trying to find my own way. I had always relied on the people around me, and now I wanted to break that habit. I needed to be able to support myself, and this was the place to do it. This was a fresh start for me. And I was definitely going to take advantage of it.
"Well here we are!" Leah announced happily as she parked next to the curb in front of a tall building.
I hadn't even realized that we had moved from traffic.
"It's so….big." I simply stated.
"No shit Sherlock!" She laughed as she stepped out of the car. She popped open the trunk and grabbed my carry-on bag again.
I grabbed my suitcase as she went to unlock the door to the building.
As we walked inside, I noticed that it wasn't really anything fancy. Just mail boxes, stairs, and two elevators. As we rode the elevators up to the sixth (six out of nine) floor, and entered Leah's apartment, I was kind of surprised.
"Welcome home little bro." She sighed as she set down my bag and threw her keys onto the coffee table. She then sat down on the black couch that sat against a wall, across from a TV. The table was in the middle of the two, leaving two walkways on either sides of the small table.
Further into the house was the kitchen and that was simple; except for a cookie jar in the shape of a cat with big eyes. It was beginning to creep me out. I took my eyes away from the jar to move down a hallway with three doors: one at the far end of the hall, one in-between the outer two, and the one closest to me.
I was startled when I felt a hand on my shoulder, and quickly turned to see Leah giggling.
"You can't just creep up on me like that Leah!" I scolded her, but it only made her laugh even more.
"Seth! We are in an apartment! Just us! Who else is going to creep up on you?" She laughed.
"Well…..I don't know!"
"Exactly! But! That's not what I am standing here for." She smiled as she stepped in front of me and began pointing to the doors. "The one way down there, is my room. The second one down is your room. And this one right here," She said as she placed her hand on the closed door, "Is the bathroom."
I turned my attention to "my door" and Leah moved out of my way and back into the living room. I approached the door and placed my hand on the shiny silver door knob and then slowly began turning it. When I pushed it open I was happy to see the boxes that I had packed and sent over here last week, sitting in the middle of the room. Other than the boxes, I had a new dresser and desk, and even a new bed. The closet was a double mirror sliding door, not that much room, but it would work.
I had lost track of the time as I began unpacking.
"How do you like it?" I heard Leah ask from the doorway. She didn't startle me this time because I could see her in the mirrors.
"I like it a lot." I turned to show her my smile.
"That's good!" She smiled back, "And get ready, cuz we are going out tonight!"
"Why?" I asked.
"Beecaaaaussse! We are both over twenty one and we have NEVER gone to a club together! And! It's already like nine o'clock!" She smirked, "So get all dolled up bitch!"
I just let out a chuckle as I nodded. Leah hadn't changed at all in the three years that she has been gone. She had left the doorway and I began looking through my unpacked clothes. I honestly didn't know what to wear. It was then that Leah began playing what she would call her, "get ready music."
SOS she's in disguise
SOS she's in disguise
There's a she wolf in disguise
Coming out coming out coming out
A domesticated girl that's all you ask of me
Darling it is no joke this is lycanthropy
The moon's awake now with eyes wide open
My body's craving so feed the hungry
She Wolf? Seriously? Wow, Leah sure does know how to pick music. I had to admit though; it is a really catchy song. And Shaker really does know how to move her body. I guess she wasn't lying when she said that her hips don't lie.
Jake's POV
"Okay, so Edward said that he was going to meet you at the club." My manager told me for what felt like the millionth time.
"I know, I know!" I whined in the backseat of the car. "You know, you don't have to tell me things a million times Rose."
I could see her roll her eyes in the seat next to me. I even heard the driver let out a small chuckle.
"I'm just making sure Jake. I know that you are really busy lately, what with all the filming and interviews, I'm just making sure that you remember. That's all!" She said as she started looking through her blackberry.
She had a good point. I was really busy, and I know that she was only doing her job. She was my best friend and she is only doing what's best for me. I knew that I could trust Rose, so I knew that I could tell her how I'm feeling about Edward.
"Rose, you're still my best friend right?" I asked, looking out the window.
She looked up from her blackberry with confusion clear on her face, "Of course. I'll always be your best friend Jake."
"So I can tell you anything….right?"
"Jake, what do you need to tell me?"
"I..I think I'm going to break up with Edward."
"Oh….why?" She asked. I could tell that she was trying to stay in friend mode, but was having trouble staying out of manager mode.
"I'm just not happy. It's like I'm his dog. He says go and I go. He says meet him somewhere and I'm there." I took in a deep breath, "That's not how a relationship should be."
"Well, if that's how you feel, then do it. Don't waste your time being someone's bitch. Life is to short!" She said as she pulled out a small flask from her black Prada clutch and took a swig.
I laughed. Leave it to Rose to pull me out of a bad mood.
"Especially since we are both only twenty three! We are way too young to be tripping about relationship drama!"
"Yeah, you're right." I smiled as we pulled up in front of the club.
Rose placed her flask back in her clutch, and then stepped out first. She was instantly ambushed by what seemed like thousands of flashing lights.
"Where's Jake? Are the rumors true? Is this your last movie? Are you and Edward adopting a child?" Were some of the questions that I heard when I stepped out of the car.
I stood, and waved and smiled before walking into the club to finally break it off with Edward. Once fully inside, I noticed how packed the dance floor was.
"He said that he would be at the usual table." Rose said into my ear so that I could hear her over the loud music.
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, Imma fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tick tock, on the clock
But the party don't stop no
Whoa-oh oh oh
Whoa-oh oh oh
Aint got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Aint got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
Now, the dudes are lining up cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
I'm talking about - everybody getting crunk, crunk
Boys trying to touch my junk, junk
I wasn't surprised that TiK ToK was playing; I mean it was the hottest club song out there at the moment.
"I'm going to get a drink." Rose announced before walking off to the bar.
Well, I guess now I have to push through the crowd to get to the stairs, which led to the usual spot.
I began pushing past people, saying "Excuse me." Or "My bad." To anyone that I bumped into, which was pretty much everyone. But one person, I think I would have to apologize to.
I was pushing through when I ran into this guy holding a drink and it spilt all over him.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I apologized as I just stood there in embarrassment.
"It's fine. I probably shouldn't dance and drink at the same time." He smiled.
Only one thing was going through my mind now. He was HOT! Or at least, he looked hot. I couldn't really tell in the dim lighting, and the flashing lights.
Someone then bumped into him, which pushed him up against me. I could feel my hard-on growing as he accidentally grinded against me. I had almost forgotten that I had to meet Edward upstairs.
"Hey are you new in town?" I asked.
"Yeah, how could you tell?"
"You don't have that New York attitude that is so common around here." I smiled.
Talking to him almost made me forget that I had to meet Edward upstairs.
"So, I have to go meet up with someone, but maybe I will see you around."
"Maybe." He smiled before some girl ran up and grabbed his arm.
"Seth! Let's get another drink! Mine is empty!" She said, speaking loud to be heard over the music. He just nodded and gave me one last smile before we both turned to walk away.
I rushed upstairs and to the private table where Edward and I usually met up. It was right by the edge railway, so you could look out onto the dance floor if you wanted to. I smiled at him and he just glared back.
"Don't fucking come up here smiling and shit. I've been waiting for like, an hour!" He said super pissed off.
"I'm sorry, Rose and I just ran a little late, that's all."
He just rolled his eyes, "Where is the alcoholic hag?"
My face began to heat up. I hated when he called Rose an alcoholic, and I wasn't going to tell him that she was at the bar right now either.
"She's dancing." I said as I leaned against the railing to look out on the dance floor.
A big smile spread across my face when I looked at everyone standing around the bar. I found Rose, standing right next to that girl, who was unsurprisingly standing next to Seth (which was apparently his name).
I pulled out my phone and sent Rose a text.
"Gee, I love the way Rose dances." Edward commented with a laugh as he saw Rose at the bar.
I hadn't even noticed that he was standing next to me. But it didn't matter, as long as Rose got the text.
Rose's POV
Rose, get that guy standing next to the girl on your left a job on set. I want to get to know him. I'll love you forever!!!
He wanted me to what? I looked up at the second floor and saw Jake talking to Edward, it seemed like they were arguing.
I just shrugged and rolled my eyes. Once Jake has his mind set, there was no changing it. I knew I could do it. There was not a doubt in my mind that I couldn't. The only thing that was stopping me was my confusion about Jake's reasons behind this request.
I just let out a sigh and chugged down the rest of my drink before turning to the pair to my left.
"Hey boy." I called out.
He gave me a confused look and pointed to himself, mouthing the word me?
I nodded with a smile, "Yeah you. I need someone to work for me for awhile and you look like you can do the job. Do you want it?"
"Um….sure?" He said, still looking confused.
"Great." I pulled out a business card and handed it to him. "Call me at ten A.M. tomorrow to get the info you'll need. After you get the info you'll start working, so I will see you again tomorrow too."
"Thanks so much." He said, smiling.
"Yeah yeah, just don't fuck it up kid." I said before ordering another drink. Tomorrow was going to be stressful….I know it.
I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money
But we'll be fine
No, I don't have a penny
But I'll show you a good time
I'm gonna take you out tonight
I'm gonna make you feel alright
I don't have a lot of money
But we'll be fine
No, I don't have a penny
But I'll show you a real good time
Cause I know how it feels to be alone
When strangers only make you feel apart
You never, ever felt so far from home
You never felt so far from home
