Crazy in Love Ch.2
Sam's-POV
1 week later
"Sam you should go check on Paul. I am really worried about him. Lately he just hasn't been himself." She said with concern written all over her face.
"I know Emily last week he just showed up at the house with the scariest face. It looked like he just fought a war or something. Also at that time he should have been on patrol but when I asked him about it he didn't even look at me or make any sign he even heard me." I replied uneasily. I gave her a hug and started towards his room, ever since his mom died he has been living with us because his dad ran out on him and his mom when he was born and he didn't have anyone else. I raised my hand to the door and knocked but got no reply.
"Paul it's me, Sam. Can I come in?" Still no reply. I slowly opened the door since he never said I couldn't. As soon as I walked in I wished I hadn't. He looked terrible, his eyes had purple bags under them and he looked like he lost a lot of weight.
"Paul! Are you okay? What's happened, why haven't you come out of your room lately?" I asked franticly. Still nothing answered me but silence. "Emily come in here!" maybe she could get him to talk he has had a soft spot for her ever since she allowed him to stay here.
"Sam is everything alright?" She replied rushing in here. "Oh my." She gasped stopping dead in her tracks once she saw him. We tried for hours to get him to talk and finally he did.
"She's gone." He said in the most haunted voice I had ever heard, it sent a chill down my spine. We didn't know it then but that would be the last time he would say anything to us for a year.
BellaPOV
Ever since I ran away from that angry boy my chest has been hurting and I can't stop thinking about him. Today I was going to meet up with Martha to see if she could help me. Martha is like a teacher to the younger mermaids because of her age and wisdom. She is 3,273 years old and has a pale blue tail and black hair. She looks my age but you can tell she is older, more experienced, and wiser by her pale jade green eyes. She has a lot of her powers figured out and should be able to help me with the pain.
"Martha!" I yelled happily swimming up to her. Martha is like my mom since when I turned 5 she had to raise me because my mom was killed by a fisherman catching her in his fishing net.
"Isabella so good to see you. Is something wrong child? You looked troubled." She was peering deep into my eyes. She always knew when I was upset.
"Yes something is wrong and I was wondering if you could help me." I stammered uncomfortably. I hated asking for help from her because she has already done so much.
"What is it dear? Of course I will help you."
"Well I have been having chest pains and haven't been able to concentrate since about a week ago." Well that's only partially true I can concentrate but only on that boy, and I am not going to tell her that.
"What happened a week ago did you get injured or something?" She asked looking curious.
"I had gotten washed onto shore at what I believe to be a beach in La Push and had a brief encounter with a person but I wasn't injured."
"La Push you say?" She said looking at me with a knowing eye. "Don't worry I think I can help you. Stand still please." I stood as still as a statue while her eyes flashed pale blue matching her tale. Then I was surrounded by bubbles and it felt like my body was humming. Then the water went still and the humming stopped and with the humming the chest pain and longing went away.
"Feel any better?" She asked curiously.
"Much better thank you." I replied hugging her.
"Okay then get along child. I don't want you to be late to your first control class." Control class is when you learn how to use and control your powers. I heard it's very difficult and lots of mermaids still might not learn to use their powers. But it does help a lot of them at least learn how to use a small amount of their powers.
"Okay I will goodbye Martha I hope to see you again soon." I gave her a small smile swimming away. Now that the pain is gone I can focus and get on with my life.
PaulPOV
She is gone. It hurts so much. And it's even worse knowing I chased her away. I would not have let her dive into the water if I had realized sooner that she was a mermaid and didn't have to come back up on land for anything. While I wallowed in despair I couldn't stop thinking she is gone.
Sorry it has taken me so long to update my computer died and my dog chewed threw the chargers cable so it took me a while to go out and find a new one. Thank you all for the reviews I wasn't sure if anyone was going to like it but I am glad that you did and thank you all for reviewing. Whenever I get a review it makes me want to hurry up and update so I can get more. How do you guys want Paul to react to seeing Bella 1 year later?
