Chapter one.
ENJOY!
Katie POV
"Katie?" I spun around quickly at the sound of my name being called. I was in the supermarket doing the usual grocery shopping, with the never ending shopping list in hand and searching along the different food aisles. Why are some essential located on top shelves? It doesn't help that I'm only five feet tall.
My mum and I had just moved from New York to La Push, I didn't really mind as I had often visited it when I was younger. We would come almost every summer. It was a beautiful place, so different from the hustle and bustle of The Big Apple. I would miss New York but this is a good move, I think. In New York, life moved at such a fast pace, but here the whole atmosphere was so much more relaxed.
I knew we needed to get out of there, to leave all those bad memories behind. I gave my head a slight shake, to stop myself from opening up those memories again. I had trained my mind in blocking out any bad thoughts, I had become quite good at it. It was the only I could go on with my life.
I gasped in shock as I saw none other than Jacob Black standing in front of me, holding out the bottle of olive oil that I had been stretching up to reach. He wasn't the little Jacob Black I remembered.
"Jacob?" I asked shocked. I could barely recognise him. I know that I haven't visited here in over four years, but I didn't think it possible for someone to change that much.
Jacob was now well over six-feet tall, he was after gaining some serious muscle. He was wearing a tight black t-shirt, which clung to his perfectly sculpted body. He looked like one of those body-builders you can see on TV. He had a strong jaw, with sharp angular features. The years had served him well.
"Katie?! I can't believe it." He exclaimed, hugging me close. I was struggling to breathe; he had me in an iron grip.
"Wow, you've changed so much. You're huge!" I exclaimed, voicing my earlier thoughts, holding onto his bulging triceps.
"No need for insults now, I'm already sensitive about my weight as it is." He joked, I had missed that, his humour. When we were younger we would both sit together sharing jokes and laughing for what felt like an eternity, receiving strange looks from our families.
"Grow up!" I giggled swatting his arm gently.
"Are you staying in La Push for long?" He enquired, jumping giddily on the spot. Imagine this huge man, for that what he had become, jumping up and down like a little kid. It's bloody strange!
"Actually mum and I have bought a house here." I smiled, watching as a huge grin formed on his face.
"Really?" He asked excitedly. I had to stifle a laugh, as I watched a six foot man jump up and down like a girl.
"Really." I replied just as happy. It was impossible to be around Jacob and not be happy.
"That is so cool! You don't know how much I missed you. I thought you would never come back." He said the last part solemnly.
"Yeah, I wanted to, but things got complicated." I trailed off; he would never know just how complicated things had gotten. "I totally forgot that you lived here, when mum told me I didn't really register where we were going. Do you want to know something funny? I feel as though I was meant to be here, like a magnetic pull, like this is home."
He looked at me strangely for a moment, before he shook his head and went back to smiling and chatting.
"Yeah, I here this place has that effect on people. You have to come to my house and say 'hello' to my Dad!" Jacob knew me so well, he was able to read me like an open book. That was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw Jacob… Billy.
"Sounds like a plan. I'll call around later with mum." I smiled widely, something I hadn't done in a long time. I could still remember where they lived. It was the cutest cottage house ever, it had become my home away from home.
"You know where we are right?" I gave a quick nod of my head as confirmation. "Perfect. See you later then." He waved, heading for the checkout with his basket, with a skip in his step. I stifled another giggle.
I finished the grocery shopping quickly after that, just grabbing the bare essentials. I had a new found skip in my step after seeing Jacob.
Being totally honest I hadn't even thought about him as the decision to move here was a very quick one, in the spur of the moment. I was in school Monday, next thing I know I'm in La Push. Things were just too complicated in New York, I couldn't handle it anymore, we couldn't handle it. My mum had to quit her job, life was too hard to continue as normal, as if nothing had happened.
I loaded the food into the car, and remembered that I had to grab something for mum in the chemist. I started walking over to the store glad that all the shops were located together. The diner, chemist, supermarket and hardware store all within two minutes of each other.
As I reached for the handle of the door, the door came flying out smacking me full-on in the face.
"Ow!" I yelled clutching onto my nose, I could feel blood trickling down my face. That f****** hurt! I don't usually curse, but I was in such pain.
I leaned against the wall and slid down to the ground. I was in total shock but the pain was running up and down my nose.
"Why didn't you move out of the way?" I heard an husky, angry male voice ask above me. I saw red, how dare he say that! As if I wanted to be hit in the face.
"If you haven't noticed it says 'push' on my side, and I'm pretty sure it says 'pull' on your side of the door." I replied sharply without looking up at him, still clutching onto my bruising nose. I could feel his eyes on the top of my head.
"Next time just move." He spat at me. I stood up ready to give him an ear-full.
"Look mister." I said poking his chest. "Don't you dare talk to me like that." I shouted. There was my good mood from meeting Jacob gone. No man had the right to speak to me like that ever. God he was tall though. What is in the water around here?
I got up off the ground without a second glance at the ignorant man and ran to my car to clean up my nose. Jerk!
Paul POV.
I swear to God my day couldn't get any worse.
So it's a well-known fact that I have one hell of a temper, so why the hell do people annoy the crap out of me?
It's as though they love pushing my buttons and waiting for me to explode.
What's even better is the amount of patrols Sam has me running. I'm guessing you can sense my sarcasm. I detest that guy some times, sure he's my pack brother, but there's only so much I can take.
And that Jacob Black is the biggest pain in my ass. He keeps dragging that Swan girl around everywhere and she reeks of vampire. I hate it!
Speaking of the pain, I spot him running out of the supermarket with a shit-eating grin on his face. What the hell is he so happy about? Who cares!
I have to go the chemist to pick up my little sisters prescription, I love that kid and would do anything for her.
The old bat behind the counter gives me the same hassle as every other week I come in. She starts off with how much she disapproves of Sam, followed by our 'use of drugs', followed by more crap. The rumours around this place are so frustrating, stupid people don't realise that we are actually protecting them.
I reached my hand across the counter for the medicine and was beginning my exit when the old lady just had to add another comment.
'Oh and Paul, I'm keeping my eye on you lot.'
I growled lowly under my breath and I could feel tremors flood through my body. I was so enraged that I threw my fist at the door hearing a crack as I forced it to open the incorrect way. I heard a soft 'ow', but I was too cross to care.
I just shouted stupid meaningless comments at whoever I had hit accidentally. I breathed in quickly as the person below my poked my chest, shots of electricity bolted through my body. I stood still as a statue as the girl continued her yelling, I couldn't get a full glimpse of her face and before I knew it she had disappeared.
I did however smell traces of blood and I can't describe the guilt and worry that flooded my body.
I hope you liked it. I don't own anything. Stephenie Meyer owns everything except my own characters.
This is my first Paul/OC story. I know in twilight he imprints on Rachel, but to be honest I don't really like that pairing so I decided to write my own.
