Bella POV
I stood there looking wherehad stood, time slowly passed by. I've probably here for hours. I can still hear his voice.
You're not good enough Bella. You're not good enough Bella.
Play over and over in my head like a taperecorder. I looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. I began walking aimlessly, in no certain direction until my feet gave way from it. I crumbled to the ground, curling myself in a ball.
I cried for what seemed as an everlasting eternity. Until I heard, off in the distance... At least I think I heard. People... Calling, yelling my name. I
tried tocall back, my voice cracked and came out like a whisper.
"Bella!" They yelled, " Where are you?!"
"Sam I smell her sent!" Paul, I think yelled.
"Follow it!" Sam yelled back. Paul's tells kept coming closer and closer. But I wouldn't respond, my voice wouldn't work.
"Bella." I heard Paul say.
I lifted my tear stained eyes to his bronze coloured ones. Our eyes locked, it felt as if s weight had been lift off of me, like I don't need Edward anymore. I have Paul. My Paul. Paul smiled wide and came over lifting me up in his arms.
"You scared us, Bells." He said looking down at me.
"Sorry, Paul." I apologized softly in embarrassment. He nodded.
"What were you doing in the woods in the first place?" He asked concerned. I cringed slightly at thought. Edward.
"Edward left me, and he said that u wasn't good enough for him." I said. Paul growled and started to shake, so I touched his shoulder and he called down almost instantly.
"You imprinted on me, didnt you?" I asked softly while looking up at him.
We got out of the forest and Paul walked slower. I could see people holding flashlights, and looking from panicked to relieved.
" Yes, I promise I won't leave you like the leech did." Paul said. When he insulted them it really didn't make me mad. It's like I dont care for them anymore.
"I believe you." I said. He looked at me smiling. We got to everyone and my dad wrapped a blanket around me.
"Chief Swan, is it OK if I stay with Bella?" Paul sheepishly asked Charlie.
"Well I don't see why not, and please call me Charlie." Dad said putting his hand on Paul's shoulder.
Paul grinned and carried me into the house and up the stairs, to my bedroom. I grabbed my pajamas from the drawer and went into the bathroom and changed. When I got out Paul was already fast asleep. I giggled quietly and got under the covers with him.
He pulled me close to his chest, wrapping his arms around my waist securely, mumbling my name every so often. I fell asleep with a smile on my face knowing I have someone better than Edward.
