CHAPTER TWO

Bella's Pov

God I was so stupid! What was I thinking? Seriously I could have had a nurse go and get Quill but no I have to be a bloody marter! Stupid Stupid Bella! I had no one to blame but myself as Billy, Paul and Sam waited for me to speak. I looked down at my hands that were clasped within Pauls, I was confused as to why he seemed to care and yet I strangely didn't want him to let go either. Did I want them to know my story and could I trust them? I continued to take Billy's obs, I wouldn't have said anything but I looked up when Paul gently squeezed my hands. I wanted to drown right there in the dark chocolate pools that were his eyes, I couldn't look away and I was pretty sure I had started to drool too.

"Tell us about what made you leave Bella Please" Paul spoke quietly but something about it made me want to throw myself at his feet and beg him to ravish me.

Taking a big breath I hesitantly began my tale " It was late Friday evening just after graduation, it was raining again but when wasnt it? There was a knock at the door just at the same time Charlie got a phone call, there had been a hit and run on the road to Port Angeles You remember?" I asked none of them particularily but they all nodded in return. "It was getting late and I started to prepare some dinner and desert as I knew he would be hungry and he could be rather unpleasent when he was uncomfortable, I was in the kitchen when he came storming in I turned to greet him when he started screaming at me slapping me in the face and knocking me to the floor" I hissed a little at the grip Paul had on my hands he loosened them only to pull me toward him and cradeling me on his lap. He was shaking and growling at the same time he seemed to be sniffing me, I looked up rather alarmed at Billy and Sam. His behavior was rather alarming not to mention the heat of his skin. I knew the wearwolves ran hotter but as a doctor the tempreture of his skin was disconcerting.

"Jesus your hot" I gasped out realising how that sounded my face started to burn. Bloody tratiorous body! Ignoring the snicker that Sam tried to hide I placed my hand on Pauls fore head. He started to purr and press his face further into my palm. What the fuck?! Paul hated me what the hell was going on?

"Bella would you maybe accompany us back to Billy's house or my house if you would rather" Sam asked

Before I had a chance to respond Paul was on the move and walking out of the door with me still in his arms. I was struggling in his arms fighting to get down but he was having none of it. "Paul please put me down" I squeeked out.

"No" was all he said as he continued to stride out into the carpark

"Sam please what is going on?" I was imploring him with my eyes to explain this

"Please I will explain everything back at Billy's house, Paul let her go" Paul's only response was to growl in his direction

"MINE" he roared at Billy as he had started to wheel himself into Paul's and my line of sight. Blly held his arms up palms open in what was the classic 'stick em up' pose, I however was no dummy and was putting two and two together and I struggled in Pauls arms to face him. He had his face buried in my hair and shoulder inhaling my scent.

"Paul look at me please" I asked him and those eyes that I love so much wait What? Love? met mine, his eyes were full of fear, anxiety, adoration and love. He was breathing heavy almost like he was on the verge of a panic attack and he was trembling but not so much that I was worried he would phase.

"Did you imprint on me?" I wispered. I was terrified that he would say yes but what was even stranger was the pain of the thought of him not imprinting on me.

"Yes" he choked out

"When?" I breathed out, if he hadn't of been a wearwolf he wouldnt have heard me but I knew he had by the way his whole body went tense and his arms tightening around me "When Paul?" "When you slapped me" he wispered back. Oh so long ago, I was ridged in his arms he slowly set me down right next to Sam's car, never taking his eyes from mine he said

"I'm sorry for the things I said and did back then, I was fighting the imprint hating the idea of having no choice and" he started to stammer and I knew what he was going to say.

"You didn't want to be imprinted with the pale face leech lover" I finished for him stepping backward out of his arms. Snatching the keys from Sam's hand I waited for Billy to load himself in whilst the boys loaded his chair.

"We will meet you at the Chiefs house we can talk more there" Sam said

The drive to the reservation was quiet each of us lost in our own thoughts. We had just passed the turn off when Billy finally spoke

"You missed the turn the Reservation is that way, have you been gone that long you have forgotten the way?" he asked me amused

"There is a third option of my choice, I have a motel room close to the hospital but I also have the house my grandmother left me, it is fully stocked as I had some supplies delivered before I arrived. Usualy it is rented out but it has been empty now for a while due to having a new roof and some remodleing done" I had no idea why I was so suddenly chatty and let out a breath of relief when I pulled up in the drive way

"Shouldn't we call Sam and Paul?" Billy asked staring at the changes to the house. Gone was the old rusting roof that once was my grandmothers pride and joy and in it's place was a new one. The old paint had been chipped off and it was now a lovely Golden Dumpling color ( I painted my sons room that color it is really nice and soft yet warm at the same time) New shutters replaced the ones that were broken and missing, the new entry way was spactacular the stone pathway now led upto solid French doors with glass framing it. The porch now a lovely awning and wheel chair ramp that for a person like Billy would find it less of a trial to independantly enter the building also allowing protection from the elements.

"No need they were running behid us"

"Wow Bella this place looks so different" Sam said coming out of the tree line

"Thanks, I have a friend who's brother is an Architect he designed most of it for me" I replied opening the door I watched Billy as he happily made his way into my house without help he had one of the biggest smiles on his face, I knew it was hard for him to manouver his chair around the place Forks and La Push were not set up with dissabilities in mind. "I will have the ramp plan sent to you if you would like, it surprisingly isnt that expensive"

"Thankyou Bella I would appriciate that"

I lead them into one of my favorite places in the whole house, it was the only thing in Forks that I had really been looking forward to cooking in my new kitchen. Gone were the old cabinets and sink. Infact I had the whole room inlarged with new marble countertops, new modern cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Charlie never had a dishwasher put in, infact he had done no repairs at all hense why the house had needed such extensive work. Windows now replaced the back wall giving a wonderful view of the back yard leading into the forressst. Timed lights were scattered around the grounds which had been landscaped to fit in with the native feel I had going in the back yard.

I opened the fridge and pulled out ingrediants, I had almost forgotten I had an audiance when Paul cleared his throat

"Bella would you tell us what happened back then please?"

"As I started to tell you in the hospital Charlie had been called out on a hit and run coming back five hours later. He slapped me in the face screaming at me and as I lay on the ground he raised his foot as if the kick me" Paul was shaking so hard that the table was vibrating, it was a solid oak table too. "Calm down Paul" gently brushing my hand through his hair. We had a lot to disscuss but it wasn't going to be at the expense of my house. I continued as I was chopping up vegtables.

"Charlie called me a filthy slut and demanded I be out of his house within two hours and left, I dont know where he went but as I was packing up my clothing I tripped on a lose floorboard. I could see through the gap in the floor that it had something hidden underneath so I pried up the rest of the board and found a thick yellowing envelope, some photos and partialy unwrapped gifts. I opened up the letter and inside was my grandmothers will, leaving me sole ownership of this house as well as her bank accounts. She had left me a modest amount, enough to be able to not have to work whilst I went to school. As I was leaving I remembered the delivery I had signed for it was from Yale University and I had recived a full scholarship".

"That's wonderfull Bella a full scholarship" Billy was saying

"Yes I guess it would have been if I has actualy applied to go there" I replied

"How could you recive a scholarship if you never applied" Sam asked

"You remember what I had told you about the Cullens having abilities?" they all nodded Paul was growling "Alice and Jasper set it up, they paid for my tuition and expenses"

"You still hang out with the bloodsuckers then?" Paul said bitterly

"No I havent seen any of them since they left, in the package that was sent was a letter from Alice and Jasper. Alice was my best friend and hated they way they had left and the things that Fuckward had said to me, I guess she also knew what was going to happen with Charlie. In the letter was the deed, keys and codes for the Forks house as well as the money she left in the safe"

"Are you saying that they wont come back here" Sam asked rather excitedly

"Alice and Jasper won't unless I ask them too, as for the rest of them I have no idea. Alice and Jasper split from the Cullens and now go by Whitlock, I dont know the full story but the Cullens have no home to come back too and I legally own that land" I didn't have a chance to say anymore as I was scooped up by a whooping Paul spun around and passed to Sam who did the same thing. It took me a while to regain thier attention even Billy was cheering and whooping it up like a child.

"Guys that doesn't mean that nomads wont come through the area, or that the Cullens wont attempt to come back here" I almost had to shout over the hollering, luckily I had a doorbell installed and could hear it over the men. It was getting extreamly late and I was a little baffled at who would be calling on me at this hour, opening the door I was a little shocked when I was pulled into a massive hug lifted right off my feet and spun around.

"Bella it is good to see you" Kim yelled from behind Jarred, standing behind her was Emily

"Hey guys come on in we are all in the kitchen" How had this happened? I wasn't meant to be getting all cosy with my old friends, I had no plans to stick around what the hell am I doing?
