Chapter Text
When Seth woke up, he was alone and his bed was dry. Seth fumbled for his phone on the night stand and checked the time. It read just after 6:30. He rolled back onto the bed and squeezed his eyes shut. He didn’t want to get up and see the family. He didn’t want to return home. He didn’t want to do anything.
But he didn’t have that luxury. The rest of the family was probably home by now, which meant Seth had to act normal. He sighed and threw the comforter off of his body.
Seth, still clad in pajamas, walked down the stairs. He heard voices and walked more slowly to the kitchen. Carlisle and Esme were there together. Whatever they were cooking smelled amazing. The pair greeted Seth all while dancing around the kitchen. Carlisle didn’t say or do anything out of the ordinary. Perhaps things would be fine.
