Chapter 3: Hells Bells
Mama always told me that I should play nice
She didn't know you when she gave me that advice
I'm through, with you
You're one bridge I'd like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I'm through with you, la ti da
I don't wanna be your just for fun,
Don't wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is…done
Done
You crossed the line too many times,
I'm gonna put you in your place
You play with dynamite don't be surprised when I blow up in your face- band perry - done
Thankfully Charlie was at the Black's when I finally got there. Billy must of known Jake would phase, and didn't ask too many questions to where he was considering Charlie was there. I figured this was another secret I would have to keep from him, which in a way tore me about. Considering he never liked Edward , and now this. I was glad the car ride home with Charlie was quiet. Thankfully, he hadn't asked me too many questions. Just asking if Jake ditched me, which wasn't the case .
I didn't think they would have the bonfire tonight, since it started raining on the way back to Forks. Charlie just kept talking about this weekend how him Henry, and Billy will be going on a fishing trip. He said I am more then welcomed to go but I think I'll pass. Fishing isn't my thing, plus I could use some alone time, and catching up on homework. He basically looked at me like I was crazy passing up fishing to do homework.
I now laid in my bed staring at my ceiling listening to my iPod. Music had become my escape, and it wasn't just the stuff that Edward listened to. I mean lets be serious here, he is a vampire who is over 100 years old, and he liked classical music, which is nice for him. Me on the other hand, I had other taste in music, bands he use to say isn't music. Who was he to judge music? Skipping through the playlist until I found a song that I wanted to listen to. Right now its more of a A day to remember kind of night. It fits the mood I am in.
Slowly I let the music help me fall asleep. I hadn't been asleep for that long when I started feeling like someone was taking my heart out of my chest. There wasn't anyone in the room with me, and my ipod was still playing. What the hell is going on. I went to sit up but the pain was getting a lot worse then it was a few seconds ago. I grabbed my phone and dialed Emily's house number. Good thing I got that before I left her house.
"Hello," A tired sounded Emily answered.
I tried to catch my breath but I couldnt, " Where is Paul?"
"Sam wake up. Its Bella she sounds like she is in pain. Quick go over there," Emily yelled at Sam. I didn't want her to do that I tried saying no but I couldn't make it happened.
"Whats wrong Bella? Sam's on his way. Were you attacked?" She asked with a lot of concern.
"No. Heart it hurts like someone is taking it out," I said.
"Oh no, Damn it Paul. I am going bury his ass. Sam should almost be there sweetie. Here is what I want you to. Stay sitting, and try to take deep breaths. I know the pain is probably really bad sweetie, but this should help you from blacking out," she said.
I did as she told me, but it wasn't helping much, "I feel like I am dying,"
"Sam should almost be there," she said. That is when I heard my window open and he climbed through. What is with the window. I do have a front door. I hung up on Emily, but I hadn't realized I did.
"Bella, whats wrong?" he asked.
I pointed because at the moment I wasn't sure I could speak. I am too young to be having a heart attack. After a few minutes the pain subsided like it was never there. He stayed where he was sitting near me telling me everything will be fine. I don't know why I believed him but shortly I almost felt back to the way I was before this pain came.
I looked at him in the eye, I wasn't stupid. I knew this had to do with Paul and this stupid imprint bond . I doubt he was dead because I would probably have had more pain, but maybe he is hurt. I started to remember how we left and telling him I wanted nothing to do with him.
"What did Paul do?" I asked. Did he manage to break the bond? Emily made it seem like it was impossible, but maybe Paul found a way.
"Thats what I would like to know," he said.
He grabbed his cell phone and hurried up and called Paul. He placed it on speaker so I could hear it.
"Hey Bossman," A cheerful Paul answered.
"Did you feel pain?" He asked.
"What are you talking about?" Paul asked. He sounded confused. I must have been the only one feeling the pain. This stupid bond makes no sense to me.
"Where are you? Where were you?" Sam asked in a commanding voice.
" Lauren's house. You know how she is a freak in the sheets," he replied so easily with a chuckle, like it was everyday thing to screw random girls. Then again it must not be so random since it sounds like him and Lauren have done it more then once. " She always wants more. A relationship, but she will take what she gets.
"You screwed Lauren?" I snapped. I was seeing red. I wanted to cause physical pain to him but I knew that was close to impossible .
"Bella?" Paul asked with surprise. " Sam you have me on speaker phone? Wait, why are you with Swan? " oh now I am Swan? Earlier I was Princess.
"You screwed her, and I felt the flipping pain you ass hole. I felt like I was dying and you are off humping the first whore you see. I hate you. I hope you get hit by a flipping car," I snapped at him. Imprint meant we were soul mates, yeah bull shit. So if I felt this pain and he didn't does that mean if I did the same thing he'd feel the pain? It's not like I would ever have a one night stand.
"What do you mean?" Paul asked. I heard the concern in his voice but his concern is a joke.
"I mean you were having sex and I felt like my heart was being taken out of my chest. This is all your fault. You caused me all this pain! What happened to Imprint means I can't hurt you? Was that just a fucking line to get in my pants?" I snapped. I never felt this angry at anyone. This is crazy.
"Paul, I can't believe you. Wait, Yes I can believe you. Your running extra shifts this week,"Sam said as he hung up.
"Thanks for coming. You can go back to Emily she is probably really worried about you," I said. He gave me a sad smile before he jumped out of the window.
I walked over to my window and made sure it was shut I didn't want another visitor, especially one from Paul. He just keeps screwing up left and right. One minute he is freaking out and the next he is saying I am sorry. I dont think sorry will fix this . I dont care he is still sleeping around thats on him. If he likes diseases then so be it, but the fact it caused me so much pain. Makes me think this imprint bond was wrong. That we clearly aren't meant to be with each other. I know its only been 24 hours since he imprinted, and I do feel some sort of weird pull towards him, but I can't be with him in a relationship.
A relationship is a huge commitment, and considering Edward just broke my heart I am not ready for another one to break my hard, since he can't go 24 hours with out sleeping with someone. It surprises me he doesn't turn into a bunny. I chuckled to myself. I heard something hit my window but I ignored it. Then I heard this sad howling noise, if he kept this up he would wake Charlie up and chances are a gun would be taking out Paul.
I answered my phone with out looking at the caller id, which was stupid but who would call me at 3 am.
" Hello," I asked.
"Princess," Paul spoke. Oh now the Princess is back but just a half hour ago I was Swan.
"You must have me confused with Lauren. "
"Bella I am so sorry, Princess," he said. I could hear the hurt in his voice but I wasn't let him guilt me over.
"Sorry for what Paul? We aren't even dating. Hell we aren't even friends. So why be sorry?" I asked
"I hurt you. It was stupid and I was mad. Jake said that all I would do was screw things up," he mumbled.
"You listened to Jake? Seriously, its Jake's fault that your penis slipped in to Lauren? Interesting. I guess I never thought about it before. Jake forced you to have sex with the Forks slut. She puts out for anyone," I said.
"What do you want from me Bella?" he asked.
"Nothing. I want nothing, Paul. Clearly, you imprinted on the wrong person. Lauren is who you wanted, not me, and I am okay with that. Trust me I am more then okay with that. I am not ready to be with someone. I am still hurt about Edward. I am still hurt about the family, and well you made it clear that you aren't ready for any kind of relationship either. You are too immature, and Im not willing to trust you. I don't want to trust you just so you can throw it in my face. Maybe the gods were wrong when they had you imprint on me. " I sighed. What else was I suppose to say?
"Bella don't say that. I screwed up I know, and I never wanted you to get hurt. I was so stupid. Why the hell did I let this happen," he asked.
"Paul, I am going to bed I'll see you around," I said as I hung up.
I turned on my old computer and waited for it to boot up. It took so long, I need to invest in a laptop. I clicked on google and typed, How to break an imprint. I looked through multiple websites that came up, but none of them looked promising. I let out a frustrating sigh, why isn't this crap on line. "Alice if you see this I need help."
I tried her old number but after it rang a few times went to voicemail. I bet it wouldn't be long before they changed their phone numbers.
I decided to call it a night. That night I didn't dream of anything. If it wasn't for the knocking on the front door I would probably still be sleeping. I put on my slipper and hurried down the steps. I was surprised I didn't trip, so today was going to be a good day. I pulled the door open and there was Paul with a Dozen of red Roses and a box of chocolates. I thought about slamming the door shut in his face, but I guess I could at least take the candy and then do it.
"Whats this for?" I asked. I stepped back a little and I guess he took that as an invitation to come inside the house. I let out a loud sigh as Paul made his way over to the couch and sat.
"An apologize for last night," he said looking at me in the eyes. His eyes were the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen then I remembered I was still mad at him. This wasn't going to make up for last night.
"Well thank you for the roses and the chocolate but that isn't going to make things better. We weren't dating, and we weren't even friends, so there is no need to apologize. I don't know you, and you sure as hell don't know me. As for this imprint bond, there has to be a way to get rid of it. Clearly it isn't a strong pull for you to me, because you had sex with Lauren, but what does it matter? You don't have to explain anything, because I am a nobody to you."
"Princess that isn't true. You mean a lot to me. Like when you opened the door and saw me at first your eyes lite up, and then you got mad after a few seconds. I know are fighting your feelings, and I know you just got out of a relationship with that leach and you aren't ready for a commitment, and I am okay with getting to know you," He said.
"Are you deaf? Where in that last statement did I say I wanted to get to know you?"
"That isn't true, Princess. You know I am irresistible and you are going to realize that once we get to know each other," he said with a cocky smile. I wish Charlie was still here with his gun.
"Well thanks for stopping bye you can leave now. Make sure the door don't hit you on the way out," I said as I made my way into the kitchen. I turned the radio on and started humming to the song playing. I grabbed eggs out of the ridge, and some bacon. I started to cook and hadn't realized Paul was sitting at the kitchen door watching me until I turned around.
"Christ, what are you doing here still?" I asked .
"It smells good, you going to invite me to eat breakfast with you or do I have to just sit down and hope you feed me?" he asked with puppy dogs eyes. Why was it so hard to just tell him no.
"Fine, Paul sit down. " I said. Whats the point trying to get him to leave, it wasn't going to happen. I placed a plate of food in front of him and sat across from him.
"So tell me about yourself," Paul said with a mouth full of food.
"I guess what I said before of me not wanting to know you meant nothing? Also, you need to learn manners they will get you far," I replied.
Paul was just staring at me. He put his fork down and his eyes were watching me. His eyes were warm and his lips were slightly parted with a hint of a smile. My jaw tightened slightly and anger flooded me. Who did he think he was? This look was suppose to get me to tell my life story? Please, he would have to try hard, roses, and chocolate doesn't fix everything.
" Fine, I will tell you about me. Where to begin? My full name is Paul Lahote, and you already know I am a shape-shifter. I joined the pack by the age of sixteen, even then I looked like I was well in my 20's, which is nice. They don't card you, but its not like alcohol will get me drunk anyways. Maybe moonshine, but we haven't tried that yet, been pretty busy chasing this two leaches around. I use to have a pretty bad temper and anything would set me off, and I would phase on the spot, but since I imprinted on you it seems I have more control on that even though its only been two days. I was born in Tacoma and my parents divorced when I was around eight. My father took me back to La Push and the tribe around that time. As for my mother I have not a clue in the world where she is,
he sighed.
I had stopped eating to listen to his story. I hadn't realized I was still staring at him when he stopped talking. I wouldn't have guessed he was only sixteen when he joined . That seemed so young, but then again that is about how old Jacob is. I guess in someway I am to blame for that. The reason the Cullen's stayed around was because of me, and if they were not here maybe none of these boys will have the burden of shape-shifting. "Go on," I said.
He chuckled," What happened to not wanting to know anything about me?"
"Oh shut up, and keep talking," I said rolling my eyes.
" I wasn't close to either Sam or Jared, but I was in the same year of school as Jared. I had my own group of friends, so it drew attention when I abruptly stopped hanging out with them and instead became inseparable from Sam. I was temperamental as a human so I had a hard time controlling myself and in the beginning would phase by accident, a lot, which forced Sam to stay close to me to keep our secret. Although it isn't much of a secret since as children we have been told the stories. I am sure a lot of people think its all fake, hell I thought it was until I turned into a freaking wolf. "
"You know what I think about you?I think you are annoying, very short-tempered, cocky and dominating. I think you don't like it when a girl tells you to go away, but I do think somewhere in that body you have a heart and you are just scared of using it. I think you are afraid to get close to a female because of your mother walking out of your life. I think you have mommy issues, and you need to work on them. I think if you thought more with your head and less with you ah other body part you may not be a bad person to be around, but I don't think I will ever see that. Paul lets be serious here, you put me through pain. I thought I was having a heart attack, and you know whats worse, Sam didn't know what anything meant. He said this never happened to Emily or Kim. My guess is even though Emily fought against the pull for a little bit they still ended up together. Sam and Jared accepted their imprint right away, and the first time I tell you I want to get to know you, then you have a bitch fit, and I say I want nothing to do with you. You go to the first girl you know you can get something from. You need to grow up, and think about other peoples feelings beside your own. It sounds like Sam gave up a lot to make sure your stupid ass didn't blow their secret, and how do you thank him? By being a cocky a- hole who knows everything," I said.
He sat there quiet for a few minutes, maybe I used some words he never heard of. "Bella the imprint can't be broke and regardless of if you like it or not, you are stuck with me forever. So tell me about your self."
I rolled my eyes , he didn't understand anything I said to him. " My full name is Isabella Marie Swan , my father is Charlie Swan and my mother is Renee Dwyer. My birthday is September 13, 1987. I transferred here from Phoenix , Arizona to live here with my dad since my Mother finally remarried. I didn't want her to feel obligated to stay home, when he was traveling with his baseball team. I was the girl who fell in love with a vampire, who put her life on hold to be more of what he wanted of me. You see he was old fashion, and liked me to be a certain way. I lost myself dating him. My parents divorced when I was only three months old. Renée took me with her to Downey, California, before moving to Riverside after my mother got her education degree and landed a job as a kindergarten teacher at a local school." I said.
I wasn't really good talking about myself, but I was trying. Paul sat there and watched every word that came out of my mouth and he didn't look the slight bit bored. He was just staring in my eyes, and I could only image what he was thinking about me. Probably he can't believe he imprinted on me, the girl who is just plain, and an ex leech lover. "Go on. Why did you stop? I could listen to you talking all day." I blushed and looked down at my plate.
" When I was six years old, we moved to Phoenix Arizona and during my childhood I would visit my dad here during the summers. It was usually just a month and most of the time I would be in La Push with Billy Black and his kids. That is actually how I know Jacob. Briefly we would hang out with Rachel and Rebecca but I stuck mostly by Jake. Rach and Bec would try to hard to play dress up with me or want to do my hair and nails. Jake and I usually made mud pies or walked on the beach talking about things. " I said.
" I don't think I like your friendship with Jacob, only because I have been in his mind recently. You know he thinks of you more then a friend. He always wanted more, and when you told him you and that Cullen broke up he thought that was his chance. Then he phased and saw he had no chance because you and I are destined to be together. That made him mad, that is still why he is in wolf mode, and hasn't been able to phase back. He is angry and thinks thinks the gods screwed up. He thinks he should have imprinted on you and not me. Since I have a reputation," he mumbled.
"Take me to him, please. I could be of help. Let me go get a shower and clean up in here and maybe I can help him phase back," I begged. Paul looked at me for a good well until he finally spoke.
"I don't like this idea. This is taken you straight into danger. Wolves are dangerous when they don't have control of what they are doing, this may only make it worse, Princess. I don't want to see you harmed, and I don't want Jacob get even more mad," he spoke as he grabbed my plate and his to the sink. He turned on the water and started washing the dishes. I just sat there and watched him, I hadn't expected him to do this.
"How long does it take them to phase back?" I asked
"It all depends, but I dont want you there," he said.
"Well I don't care what you want. Have you forgotten you don't own me. So you can take me or I can wonder to La Push and try to find him myself," I said.
"Fine go shower, and I will finish up here," he said defeated. I smiled and walked on the steps. Maybe I could help Jacob..
I know this isn't want everyone wanted Paul to screw up but I think just because they imprinted doesn't mean they fall in love right then and there when the don't know anything about each other.. I am working on the next chapter as we speak hopefully it will be up in the next few weeks... Thanks for reading...
