Alright new story. Hope everyone likes it. Please review. I took the title of my story from a Jodee Messina song Bring on the Rain.
SUMMARY: Gabriella (Gabi) Carter wished she had someone to protect her, keep her safe from all the bad things in her life. Her mom would rather sleep with random men than take care of her only daughter. Gabi's never met her father and her mom won't tell her who he his, she highly doubts her mom even knows who her father is anyway. When she gets assigned a project with a pack member for school. She thinks things couldn't get any worse until the unthinkable happens. Will the pack be able to help her and will she find what she's been looking for in the resident bad boy, who maybe isn't as bad as he wants everyone to think he is.
For future reference:
Embry's mom's name- Lisa

Please review
Song: Bring on the Rain, Jodee Messina
Another day has almost come and gone
Can't imagine what else could go wrong
Sometimes I'd like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost but not the war ('cause)
Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
It's almost like the hard times circle 'round
A couple drops and they all start coming down
Yeah, I might feel defeated,
And I might hang my head
I might be barely breathing - but I'm not dead, no ('cause)
Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
I'm not gonna let it get me down
I'm not gonna cry
And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight ('cause)
Tomorrow's another day
And I am not afraid
So bring on the rain
Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain
Bring on the rain; bring on the rain
Bring on the rain
Bring on, bring on, the rain
CHAPTER 1
Gabi rolled out of bed and wiped her eyes with her hands. She made her way to the bathroom to take a shower and start another day of school. She ran a brush through her straight dark brown hair. Put on a touch of make up and then dressed in a pair of ripped skinny jeans and form fitting green shirt. She grabbed her bag out of her room and went to the kitchen to have a bowl of cereal for breakfast. As she walked out of the kitchen she glanced at her moms closed bedroom door and let out a sigh and shook her head as it opened and a guy came strolling out. He walked by Gabi and gave her a nod as his eyes traveled over her body and he gave Gabi a smile that made her shiver before he walked out the door. Gabi let out a sigh of relief when he was gone. She hated the way her moms….well boyfriends wasn't the right word for them….guys she slept with, fuck buddies, anyway she hated the way they looked at her. A lot of them even thought they could put their hands on her but everyone of them got a good kick in the right area if they tried but it never stopped them from trying again. None of them had tried more than undress her with their eyes and grab her ass but still most days she was afraid to be in her own house. Afraid for the one time that one guy would try a lot more.
Gabi walked out the door and got in her Silver Honda Accord and drove to school. When she got to school she was met by her best friend Cassi.
"Morning," Cassi said happily as they walked into school together.
"Morning," Gabi replied and the two of them went their separate ways to their lockers. As Gabi was getting her book out of her locker. Jacob Black walked over to open his locker which was so conveniently next to hers. He opened his locker and looked over at her.
"Morning," he said.
"Morning Jacob," she sighed and he closed his locker and she watched him walk back over to his group of friends. His friends that all looked like him, she had seen them all running around shirtless when they weren't in school. They all hung out with Sam Uley as well. They all had muscular arms and six pack abs, really nice hot bodies worthy of the cover of a trashy romance novel. They were all incredibly sexy, especially Paul. Gabi had always had a crush on Paul, even before his transformation into some kind of tanned Adonis, sex god. But of course she wasn't the only girl in the school, La Push, Forks or any other close by city that thought so. Women seemed to flock to him and he didn't mind using all of them for a quick fuck, its all he did with women, she had never seen him have a lasting relationship with any of them. None of the other guys seemed to be like him though. Jacob always seemed nice and friendly as was Quil. Jared was dating a really nice girl named Kim and he seemed to be crazy about her. Embry was nice to, Gabi and Embry used to spend a lot of time together. Then as if they sensed she was looking at them Paul and Embry turned to look at her. Paul smirked and Embry gave her a small smile and she turned away and closed her locker. Jacob walked back over to get something out of his locker he had forgotten just as Cassi walked over.
"See you in class," Jacob said to Gabi as he walked away
"Was that Jacob Black?" Cassi asked.
"Yes," Gabi smiled. Cassi had a major crush on Jacob.
"Was he actually talking to you?" she asked.
"Well he just said Morning and see you in class," Gabi said. "Not much of a conversation."
"He is soooooo cute and sexy and he has the most gorgeous eyes and greatest smile," she sighed. "He has the most amazing body and when he smiles it just lights up his whole face," she sighed.
"Oh, I wish he was my boyfriend," Gabi teased Cassi. "Jacob Black is ever so dreamy," Gabi sighed as she placed her hand over her heart dramatically, teasing Cassi.
"Hey don't even start. Jacob's a lot better than having a crush on Paul Lahote, man whore of Washington." Cassi said.
"I know, I know," Gabi said. "I need to get to class and so do you," she added. "See you at lunch."
Gabi had a few classes with some of the guys that Jacob hung out with. She also had a class with Kim as well. It was when she was in her History class she shared with Jacob that day that everything changed. Their history teacher walked in and up to his desk.
"Alright class, we will be starting our section on Ancient Egypt and we will be doing projects in groups of two." he began. "And we're all going to venture out of our comfort zones a little because I will be assigning your partners." he added and everyone groaned as he began calling out names.
"Gabriella Carter," he said. "How about you work with…." he said looking at his list, "Jacob Black." he added and Gabi covered her face with her hand.
"Great," Gabi thought. "He'll probably expect me to do all the work while he runs around shirtless with his friends."
"Get with your partners after class and discuss ideas and when and where you will be meeting," he told them. "You will have to get together with your partners after school to work on your project." he told them. "I want an idea from both of you by Friday," he said. "Now lets get started with class."
After class Gabi got up to go talk to Jacob about their project but Paul and Embry suddenly materialized outside the classroom and he ran off with them. Gabi let out a sigh and made her way to the next class. She knew she wouldn't see Jacob again until lunch.
At lunch Gabi was at the table sitting with Cassi filling her in on everything that happened.
"So I got assigned to do a project with Jacob Black for history."
"No way!" Cassi exclaimed. "You have to spend time alone with Jacob Black," she said. "I wish I was you right now."
"Yeah well I haven't even got a chance to talk to him about it because he ran out right after class," she told her. "And if he thinks I'm doing all the work he's wrong," she added.
"I'm sure he doesn't expect you to do everything," Cassi assured her.
"I'm just waiting for him to get in here and I'm going to make sure he knows it," Gabi told her.
"Gabi please don't do something stupid," Cassi pleaded. "Jacob seems like a nice guy, don't go over there and start yelling at him in front of everyone and embarrass both of you."
"I'm not going to yell, I'm going to talk to him and let him know he will be doing his share of the work and that my grade will not suffer because of him. I've got to keep my grades up and get into a good college and get the hell out of La Push." she sighed.
"Gabi," Cassi said softly. "What's going on?"
"Same old stuff that always goes on," she said quietly. "Random men in my moms bedroom every night, sometimes two or three a night," she added. "She goes to her job during the day but comes home eats dinner, drinks a little and then the guys start coming by." she told her. "When she comes home."
"Gabi," Cassi said.
"She's not taking money from them if that's what you're thinking," Gabi told her. "She doesn't take their money for sex."
"I never said she did Gabi," Cassi said softly.
"Although she probably does, nothing would surprise me anymore," Gabi told her. "I don't want to talk about this," she said softly. "I just want to get through school and get out of La Push," she told her.
"Do you even see your mom anymore?" Cassi asked.
"Not much, she's still in her room when I leave for school and I sometimes get to see her when she comes home, if she comes home."
"Gabi, your mom should be taking care of you."
"I take care of myself just fine," Gabi told her.
"What about your dad?" Cassi asked.
"My mom won't tell me for some reason," she sighed. "She might not know who he is, I mean she told me he died right after I was born."
"Maybe she doesn't want you to know about your dad." Cassi said.
"That's true with the way my mom acts, it could be someone's husband. I've always thought that and I've never believed my dad was dead like she said either." she sighed as she saw Jacob sit down at a table with his friends, all of them had trays full of food.
"There's Jacob," Gabi said. "I'll be right back, I need to talk to him." she told her. Gabi wrote her phone number on a piece of paper so Jacob could call her about the project. Then she stood up and made her way over to the table where Jacob was sitting.
Gabi walked over to where Jacob was sitting with his friends eating. They were all laughing and joking together as she approached. Gabi walked right over and stopped in front of the table where Jacob was sitting.
"Jacob Black," she said and Jacob turned to look at the person who called his name and saw a really pretty girl standing there. He recognized her, she had the locker next to his and he spoke to her every morning. He also had history with her, he knew her name but he couldn't think of it.
"Her names Gabriella," Embry said so low that only Jacob could hear.
"Gabriella," he smiled.
"Don't try to be friendly and think your smile is going to get you out of this," she told him.
"I Um…" Jacob began.
"Because I'm not doing your half of the work for our history project," she told him.
"Well I…." Jacob began again but she didn't even give him time to say anything.
"Because I expect you to your half of the work," she told him.
"Ok, Gabriella, I never said I wasn't going to do my half," Jacob told her.
"Oh," she said. "Well we have to come up with an idea," she told him.
"Ok well how about we write down our ideas and we meet tomorrow," he suggested.
"That sounds fine," she said a bit surprised.
"What about at your house?"
"No!" she exclaimed. "I mean my house isn't good, anywhere but my house."
"Ok, so how about tomorrow at my house," Jacob suggested. "My dad will be gone all day with Harry Clearwater and he won't be back until Friday morning."
"Fine, your house tomorrow."
"Around 4:00," he told her.
"Sounds good," she said.
"See you tomorrow Gabriella," Jacob said.
"See you tomorrow Jacob," she said. "If you need to change the time or anything just call me," she told him and handed him the piece of paper with her number on it and turned to leave but felt a warm hand grab her.
"Where you rushing off to," a voice said and pulled her back over. Paul.
"Paul," she said.
"Hey baby," he said pulling her over to him so she was standing between his legs. He pulled her closer to him with a little more force than necessary and Gabi grabbed his shoulders so she wouldn't fall into him. Paul smirked at her and let his hands roam over her ass.
"Don't touch me," Gabi told him and moved her hands off his shoulders and went to walk away.
"Well I thought since you're not busy tonight, maybe you could drop by my place and we could have a little fun," he said.
"Do you use that line on all the girls or am I just special," Gabi rolled her eyes.
"You're very special," Paul whispered and pulled her into his lap.
"You know you want to drop by my place tonight," he whispered as her ran a finger down her neck. "I promise you'll enjoy it and It will be a lot of fun a fun," he told her. "the most fun you've ever had in your life," he said in a sexy whisper. The guys all shook their heads and groaned, they had no idea how Paul could say those things to girls and not get slapped in the face or kneed in the balls. The girls couldn't wait to hop into his bed for some reason.
"Most fun I've had in my life huh," Gabi smiled.
"You know it babe," Paul said and rested his hands on her hips.
"I'll pass," she said and all the guys looked shocked, they had never heard one girl reject Paul. Gabi went to stand up but Paul held her on his lap.
"Most fun you've ever had in your life Gabriella," he said huskily and moved her hair away from her neck and pressed his lips against her neck.
"I'm sure it would be the best thirty seconds I've ever had but I'll still pass," she said and took Paul's momentary shock and all the guys trying to hide their laughter to get out of his lap and start to walk away but Paul grabbed her again and pulled her back to him.
"I can assure you it will be a lot longer than thirty seconds," he told her. "And when I'm done you'll be begging for more," he told her.
"I doubt it," she said. "Now let me go," she told him.
"Gabriella," Paul said.
"Let her go Paul," Embry growled at him and Paul glanced over at Embry, shocked but did what he said.
"I'll see you tomorrow Gabriella," Jacob said.
"See you tomorrow Jacob," Gabi said and practically ran back over to her table.
When Gabi got back to the table Cassi was eating her lunch.
"So is Jacob going to do his share of the work?" Cassi asked.
"Yes we're meeting at his house at 4:00 tomorrow to compare ideas," she answered.
"You ok?" Cassi asked.
"Fine," Gabi said quickly and tucked her hair behind her ear.
"So what was going on with you Paul?" Cassi asked.
"You saw that?" Gabi asked.
"Yes, what was it all about?"
"He wanted me to drop by his place tonight for a little fun," Gabi rolled her eyes. "Like I would ever do that."
"Wait a minute, Paul Lahote, the guy you've had a crush on forever wanted you to come by his house tonight."
"Yes Cassi but for nothing more than a quick fuck and I don't care how big of a crush I have on him I will not be just another girl he fucks," she told her.
"Ok Gabi I get it," Cassi said.
"And he's not going to want more than that because he obviously enjoys it to much," she said. "Just fucking random girls," she said and glanced over at the table and saw Paul with another girl in his lap, obviously feeding her the same lines he just said to Gabi. "See how replaceable I am to Paul. He already has some slut in his lap," she said upset as she glared at him. Then almost as if Paul felt her gaze on him he turned to look at her and winked before placing his lips against whatever girl he had on his laps lips and she stood up.
"He's not worth my time," Gabi said and stood up and walked out of the cafeteria.
After Gabi wrenched herself out of Paul's grasp and walked back to her table Embry turned to Paul and glared at him.
"Leave Gabi alone," Embry told him. "She has enough problems without adding you to them," Embry told him.
"I don't think anything I may or may not do with Gabriella is any of your business," Paul told him.
"She actually prefers Gabi and she is my business," Embry told him. "Leave her alone Paul, you're the last thing she needs in her life," he added. "At least she had enough sense to turn you down."
"And insult me," he added. "Thirty seconds." he grumbled to himself. "I will have her moaning and begging for more beneath me, no matter how long it takes," Paul told him.
"Why? Because she turned you down?" Jacob asked. "I think she's smart for turning you down," he added.
"I will have her," Paul told them.
"Let it go Paul," Jared told him. "Just because one girl didn't fall to her knees and worship the ground you walk on like all these other girls…."
"Oh she will be on her knees in front of me and sooner than you all think." Paul told them. "She has really nice lips."
"Stop it Paul!" Embry demanded. "Do not talk about her like that." he told him. "Stay away from her."
"What are you now her protector or something?" Paul asked.
"No Paul," Embry said. "She's my cousin." he added and all the guys looked at him shocked.
