Savanah’s POV-
I took my seat belt of before we all climbed out of Seth's car. The parking lot was overflowing with cars as the bodies of students one by one filed into the school building, Seth’s regular group of friends that where usually here to greet us not in sight, most likely already in the class room where I should already be.
"Thanks for the ride" Stefan thanked his brother as I turned to face him."See you in math class princess" he flashed me a smile and I returned the gesture with a smile of my own. “bye” I gave him a small wave as I watched him retreat towards the school entrance.
"What was that?" Seth asked spinning me around by my hips to face him. His jaw ticking with the clench of his teeth. I frowned he's mad? Why was he mad?
"What?" I stuttered a little, feeling uneased at his sudden change in mood.
Did I mention Seth could get a little angry at times? Aggressive almost. He was the jealous type for sure and honestly, I hated that about him. I know I shouldn’t feel like that but I couldn’t help it, he could get scary when he goes off on one, when he loses grip on his anger."That with Stefan? Since when does he call you princess?" He spat, his annoyance evident in his tone. Stefan calling me princess is nothing new to me nor should it be new to Seth, it’s not a big deal I’m sure it’s not the first time he had herd Stefan’s nickname for me so why was he freaking out about it now?
"Seth, the name doesn't mean anything. Stefan and I are just friends” I tried to explain but he cut me off "Friends since when?" he demanded an answer, and I rolled my eyes at his dramatic behaviour. Has he lost his mind? Woke up in a whole alternate universe?
"We are neighbours remember? Besides I met you through him did you forget?" I reminded, looking into those stormy blue eyes of his. He was being ridiculous, this conversation was ridiculous. I was lucky to even grab Seth’s attention, he was classed as one of the hottest guys in our school, along with his brother he was on our schools football team and one of the best players they had.
He scoffed as if not believing my reasonable reminder, I pushed his hands from their grip upon my waist, I was not in the mood for a fight with him this morning. A pointless fight at that.
“He is my neighbour and your brother, nothing more” I tried to reason yet again. He didn’t say a word giving me a reply of silence, His eyes searching every inch of my face for any hints that I was lying to him. And I wasn’t, yeah Stefan was cute and playful, but he was Seth’s brother, I couldn’t and I wouldn’t.
Seth crashed his lips to mine, completely catching me off guard, to the point I had to take a step back to catch my balance. His hands coming to still me as he cupped my face between his palms. His kiss hard, demanding. His anger with me evident, I kissed him back, allowing him to have the control that I know will ease whatever turmoil he has.
"He can’t have you Savanah, No one can" He breathed into our kiss holding me firm.
It felt off, usually when he was to kiss me, I would have butterflies erupt in my stomach at the feel of his lips on mine but now in this moment? There was none, I guess his temper had scared them away.
"Come I'll walk you to class beautiful" He pulled back, a quick peck to my lips before swinging his arm over my shoulder as if the accusations and show affection between us had not just happened. I wanted to say something, but I didn’t want to start him off again so instead I kept silent as we walked side by side to our first class of the day, a class we where now over ten minutes late for.I apologized to the teacher finally making it to class. She wasn't too impressed that we had disrupted her and our peers by walking in late, but what can I do about it now? What’s done is done and I’m here isn’t that the important part? I quickly took my regular seat next to Lauren whilst Seth sat with Jake and Harry in his regular seat at the back.
A mouthed hello to my friend of nine years and I took my attention back to Mrs. Ferguson who kept her eyes on me in warning before carrying on with her lesson but no matter how interesting her class talks where, my mind kept drifting off to how angry Seth had gotten in the parking lot. His behaviour only leaving me with a million and one questions, one being does he not trust me? The other being why was his jealousy reappearing again it’s been calm for a while now so why the sudden reappearance? Was I missing something? Did I do something to cause the sudden mistrust in me?
"You having lunch with me today?" Lauren whispered taking my attention away from my drowning thoughts. I sighed at her question, Lauren eats with her boyfriend Jasper and his friends. I do the same eating with Seth and his friends. The only problem with that is our boyfriends are in two different social circles and one of jaspers close friend’s is the one and only Stefan, if I was to sit with them would Seth blow it out of proportion?
“Alright class, with your partner take turns in reading pages 50-60 between you. you have ten minutes” Mrs. Ferguson instructed. The class falling into an instant chatter as everyone talked between themselves no doubt ignoring the book on the table in front of them.
"Sorry I already told Seth I would eat with him today" I informed her, turning in my chair to face her. I figured it be best I keep my distance form Stefan for a little while, at least until I figure out the reason behind Seth’s bizarre accusations.
"Why! You eat with him and his dumb friends everyday" she whined like a child, the disappointment shining in her blue eyes.
"And you eat with Jasper and his dumb friends everyday" I retorted in amusement, earning a playful roll of her eyes.
"Fine but date night tomorrow night? There is this party I want to go to, and you are going with me" she dragged out the me excessively, allowing her excitement to take over. I could actually do with some girl time and a party seems like the perfect place to let loose of all the stress I feel building up inside of me."I will have to" I began to give her answer, but she quickly cut me off "Don’t even say it Sav" she shot sternly, a slight shake of her head in disapproval.
"You didn't even let me finish what I was going to say” I frowned at her, getting annoyed at her demanding behaviour."That’s because I already know what you are about to say, you have to ask Seth's permission blah blah blahhhh" she rolled her eyes at me for the second time today and I groaned putting my head in my hands to avoid the look she was giving me. She hates Seth and she doesn’t even try to hide it.
"It’s not asking permission it's just seeing if he minds me going to a party with a bunch of drunk and drugged up sexually frustrated teenagers" I defended myself not entirely believing my own defence.
"Yeah Yeah, we need this so you’re coming, and I won’t take no for answer" She said sternly, I raised my head to look up at her, her eyebrows raised as she sent me a look that told me there was no point in fighting with her. I felt as if I was being scolded by my mother, if this is how being told off by a mother feels that is. I would know these things if mine bothered to be around.
I smiled at my crazy best friend deciding that she was right we needed this "Okay but we are getting ready at my pla" before I could finish the sentence, she cut me off yet again.
"Yesss totally a deal" she grinned clear excitement upon her face, a light laugh passing my lips as I watched her begin planning what she was to wear. I'm not going to lie I'm kind of excited for the party too, it has been so long since I have attended one or spent a little time having any kind of fun with Lauren. I missed it, I missed just making plans out of the blue and going for it.
Savanah's P.O.V The school day went by pretty smoothly, and as usual I sat with Seth and his friends at lunch, today seemed to drag on, honestly, I had zoned out of most of my classes, sleep was calling on me but other than my dire need for sleep I had a pretty normal day.School was out an hour and a half ago. Seth had football practice and I’m sat on the bleachers waiting patiently for him to finish so he can give me a ride home. Its times like this that I need Lauren's company but she was spending time with Jasper. They were taking a drive up to the water hole by brick mountain, with plans of having a picnic and a swim. Apparently, all Jaspers idea. With Jasper’s dirty blonde hair, defined facial features and blue eyes that match perfect with Lauren’s bright red hair, baby blue eyes and freckles, They really did look good together.Jasper is pretty cool though, he has a sort of calm nature about him, I don’t know how to describe it. Let’s just put it this way, I have yet to find a
The entire ride home Seth kept his hand upon my thigh, rubbing the pad of his thumb back and forth across my jean clad thigh. The odd squeeze as he flexed his fingers. The ride was quiet, and it was obvious to me that Seth was mad maybe even furious. I wanted to question his behaviour, but I didn’t want to add to whatever anger he was obviously feeling, so I did what I usually would do in this situation and stayed silent. Stefan made no attempt at conversation from the back seat, to which I was glad for considering the atmosphere that choked us in the car.Seth pulled up outside my house and Stefan shot out of the car before I had even had a chance to unbuckle my seatbelt. "Later" He fired, without even thanking his brother for the ride, practically bolting through his front door. I turned my attention to Seth, he was quiet, and already looking at me with a tight jaw. I inwardly groaned, with his short temper and ridiculous behaviour from this morning I can only imagine the next few m
Stefan's pov- Why did I put myself through this? What the fuck did I think would happen when taking a ride to school with my brother and her? I was bugged the fuck out, my mind was screaming at me to get the fuck out of the car, just tell him to pull over and get out. instead, I was sat in the back seat behind Savanah, my eyes glued to Seth’s hand upon her thigh. That now familiar feeling bubbling inside of me, I was jealous, furious of my brother. I didn’t like it, and I only have myself to blame, I was the one who asked for a ride and now I’m sat itching to act on impulse and remove his hand from her, but I couldn’t because I would look fucking insane. The car rolled up outside of Savanahs’ driveway and I wasted no time in bailing from the car, what was I going to do sit around and watch them make out? Hell-No! I’ve tortured myself enough for one day. "Later" I fired, quickly jumping out of the car and making a beeline for my front door. I didn’t even look back or thank my brothe
Savanah's pov- I rolled over with a groan, forcing myself to sit up through my tired and exhausted state, the state in which I had earned from my unintentional nap. I didn’t even know what time it was; I feel like I’ve just woken from a sleep that took me to a different planet. With the drama from earlier still in the front of my mind I mentally wished that I had literally flew to the moon and not just taken a little nap. God I need fresh air; I need to clear my head before I suffocate in my own mind again. I lazily climbed out of the bed, it has been awhile since I cried myself to sleep only to wake up and not know what date I had woken up in. I reached for my phone on the nightstand to see that I had eight texts from Seth. I didn’t even want to deal with him right now, he was too much for me to handle when he behaves like he had been doing all day so I ignored his messages and checked the time instead.It was eight at night and I was hungry due to not eating since lunch but I hone
Savanah's pov-Was it a dripping tap or a tree branch in the wind? Whatever it was with its incessantly repetitive noise was disturbing my Saturday morning lie in. I snuggled closer into Seth’s side with the hopes that his warmth would drown out the annoying sound that just will not let me be.“eurghh” the audible groan came with my agitation as I awoke with a huff and a sigh of frustration, can’t I ever get a break? like seriously I can’t sleep when I’m alone yet when I have company I’m disturbed form ever getting any sleep for an entirely different reason.Slowly and as gently as I possibly could I unwrapped Seth's arm from around my waist, the last thing I wanted was to disturb his sleep and have him wake up in an intolerable grouchy mood because he didn’t get to wake up on his own accord. With a heavy blink of my eyelids I willed my tired mind to wake, focusing in on the sound of the tapping that I now know was a knock of knuckles against my bedroom window. I peeked through the cu
Savanah pov-With a quick wash of my body and brush of my teeth I wrapped a towel around myself with a silent pray that Seth was still asleep, I was hoping to bring him breakfast in bed something to put a smile on his face. I left the bathroom making a b-line to my wardrobe only to knock the idea of a surprise breakfast in bed off the list seeing that he was wide awake, scrolling through his phone from his position in the bed. My presence in the room didn’t go unnoticed as his eyes lifted from his phone to me and with each step I took to cross the room his eyes followed.My cheeks where heated at the thought of his eyes against my near naked skin. I was shy when it came to revealing such personal parts of me but I was surprising feeling a little confident in myself so I allowed the towel to be my only shield as I changed into my clothes, with my back facing him I was certain he didn’t get a full view as I swiftly dressed into a casual lounge wear set. I stepped in front of the floor l
Savanah's P.O.V“I made breakfast sandwiches” I informed Seth as I placed the sandwiches onto a plate. The echo of the front door thumping not so gently closed was a sign that Lauren had left the building.“And since she has left without eating hers, I guess there is extra” I grinned turning to give Seth my full attention."Get ready for what?" He asked as I slid the plate onto the counter beside him."Well, me and Lauren were thinking on going to Jake's party tonight" I explained almost warily. It’s stupid I know but after yesterday and the reactions I’ve received from him in the past at such ideas, I was almost certain that an argument was to ensue.His brows tilted into a frown and his nose twitched with what I assume was his dislike of the idea. He was silent but his silence only gnawed at the nervousness that I for some unknown reason was feeling in the pit of my stomach."I was going to tell you of my plans yesterday, but we argued and It completely slipped my mind" I rushed out
Savanah's P.O.V- The banging had stopped for some time now and silence smothered us both. Both of us trapped in our wild and tormented minds. I don’t know how to describe it but right now time felt excruciatingly slow, like Bernard had used his watch to pause time in order to save me in my hour of need. The silence was needed for sure, I had begged for Seth to stop and now that he had I was begging for something to just finish the drama and end this mess for me. "I'm sorry!" He apologised, his apology only encouraging the force of my tears to intensify. God we where a total mess never mind a bloody disaster. “Savanah? Open the door Please?” He called softly his gentleness making me weak, all my feelings and all my thoughts where torn and it was brutal. "Please Seth, I want to be left alone" I forced myself to speak through the crack in my voice. Please god if you exist please just make him leave I silently prayed to be saved from this scenario that I had found myself in. "Please
Savanah’s pov- "You look beautiful" Seth complemented, softly placing a kiss to the corner of my mouth. I weakly smiled at the action, utterly and completely lost for words as I just stood there frozen like an idiot. Was I crazy? Does he not remember literally ragging me around my kitchen earlier this morning? the way he was acting right now, so unbothered and normal only made me feel so uneased. “Can we talk? Alone?” he asked almost nervously a he glanced to the people in our close surroundings. “erm” I began to spit out a lie in order to escape the idea of being in a room alone with him after what had happened this morning. "Drinks anyone? Sav?" Lauren asked coming to my rescue and I took my attention to see her reassuring smile flash my way. I nodded an answer afraid to open my mouth just in case my words where to fail me. I didn’t know how to deal with all this pressure, pressure to not let others see the tension between me and Seth. The pressure to stay composed and not fear
Savanah's pov- It was almost nine in the evening and we were finally and only just leaving for the party. It had took me a while to decide on what to wear but in the end I had decided on wearing a pair of dark navy blue skinny Jeans, a green long sleeved crop top and I completed the outfit with a pair of black open toe high heeled shoes. Surprisingly I felt good about my look, I tried to go light with my make-up but that just caused drama with how much of a struggle it had been to hide and cover up the bruise that was still throbbing on my cheek bone but with the help of Lauren and a YouTube video we finally managed to make it work. The decision to wear long sleeves was one solely in order to hide and shield my bruised skin from the rest of my class mates. It was absolutely necessary and totally needed because god knows all I want to do tonight is let loose and have a fun night with my best friend without having to think up a quick lie in order to save myself the chaos of what I’m sur
Savanah's pov-Lounging on the sofa I ignored my plagued mind by attempting to watch television while I impatiently wait for the lasagne that I had made to finish cooking. It is roughly just after five in the evening so Lauren should be here shorty to get ready together for tonight’s activities and hopefully she can succeed with the distraction that this tv show was so badly failing at. I had been drowning in my own thoughts since I had come back inside. Honestly, I’m thinking that I should have stayed up on that roof with Stefan, even though the only words spoken between me and him where when he had asked if he could listen to the headphone I had purposely left out of my ear before he proceeded to sit beside me for about an hour and thirty five minutes without a single word. The silence was good though, I didn’t feel awkward or anything because his presence was kind of calming to me. He had unknowingly helped me cope with the whirlwind of feelings and emotions that I had been silentl
