BPOV

After the story of the second son was told, I was dazed and confused. I had to get out of there and think by myself for awhile. I'm happy no one followed me. I lay in bed for hours and I couldn't sleep, I knew Paul couldn't sleep either. I don't know how I knew but I just did. So I waited I figured he would come by to sleep with me. Once he came in we went to bed. I felt Leah and Seth climb in a couple hours after we went to sleep. I woke up for a few seconds when Paul and Seth kissed my head before they left for patrol, I slept for a couple more hours and when I woke up I wish I could fall back to sleep instead of dealing with my thoughts. Oh my thoughts why can't they just shut up and leave me a few minutes to myself?

Did I love Paul? Yes, was I willing to risk my heart on this legend? I don't know. So far none of the other legends have steered us wrong. I did everything that other pale face did. Paul was the second wolf to phase. Sam and Jared both imprinted. Paul didn't. Did that mean something? Did it mean enough to risk getting my heart broken again for? Of course I am no longer in love with Edward, part of my heart will always be his because he is my first love, but do I really want to go through that on the off chance that Paul does imprint? I don't know. But what if we never take the chance and Paul never imprints and our story ends just like the second sons? I don't know if I could live with the guilt, if we didn't and Paul never got to be happy. Shit what if I never got to be happy? "God why me? Cant I just fall in love and have it be normal?" I grumble.

"Because you were meant to change things Bella, you and Paul will prove that it is possible. It is your fate. We elders wouldn't have told it if we didn't think it to be true. We would never want to hurt you like that. Sam and I have been looking through all of the old legends hoping to find a forgotten one that would make it possible for you and Paul to be together. You two need each other, you complete each other. Follow fate; don't make the same mistakes as the second son and the pale face." Sue said, sitting on my bed, playing with my hair. I was trying so hard to not cry, that I didn't notice Leah come in. She wiped my tears,

"Be happy sis, you deserve it." She said lying down next to me. Sue had got up and walked out of the room leaving us to our girl talk.

"So do you" I sniffled.

"Yeah well my time will come; don't give up on yours for me." Leah looked like she was going to cry as well. We just laid like that for a long time both of us lost in your own thoughts of the future and love. Sue yelled up that lunch was ready and to bring our butts down and eat before the boys got back. We started laughing and headed downstairs.

We were just finishing up our dishes when Seth and Paul came in with Jake, Embry and Quil. They all headed straight for the food almost knocking me over in the process. Leah caught me.

"Geesh guys, human here, no match for your super human wolf hunger powers" I said causing everyone to laugh. This was followed by a chorus of 'sorry Bella's'. Once they were seated I got out a bunch of soda and set it on the table, setting the last Dr pepper in front of Seth with a kiss on his cheek, and a beer in front of Paul, with a kiss for him as well.

"Why do they get the best stuff? I thought I was your best friend Bells" Jake said with a pout.

"Well if you want beers get them yourself. I'm not contributing to minors drinking in this house, my dad is he chief of police in Forks you know, and I always buy Seth Dr pepper and it was the last one so I was going to make sure he got to drink it until I get to the store later with Leah. Besides do you guys have a problem with my coke? Because I can take it back and give you water…"

"No bells it's good." They answered in unison. I just smiled and walked out of the kitchen. I heard the fridge open and knew that Paul was grabbing beers for all of them, even Seth. I went up stairs to shower but heard Leah in there so I plugged in my iPod and went to pick out and outfit. I left the door to our bathroom open and locked my door. Leah got out of the shower as I had finished picking out and outfit. I figured Leah would be in something like the same. It was a cute grey top with some white shorts and a pair of grey flats. Leah had on a brown top with jean shorts and flats. We were going to check out the diner and then go to the store to get some more food; between all of us the boys ate us out of house and home.

We pulled up to the diner and it looked so nice, it was finished with all the booths and the stove and the oven in place. The counters were the ones I picked out, with the color scheme Emily picked and the menus are collaboration between the three of us. I had learned to make Emily and Sue's food almost as good as they could themselves and they could do the same with mine. Most of the food was normal home cooking. I was so excited to be able to look at the finished project and know that sooner rather than later we would be open for business. Leah had to drag me out so we could go to the store to get more food for the house. No clue why but the pack spent just about as much time at our house as they did at their own or Sam and Emily's, I guess that probably has something to do with the fact that Sam and Emily have been a little more closed off since they have been trying to have kids. I grabbed three huge cases of Dr Pepper and a couple huge cases of beer and one huge case of a coke for me. Got to love bulk stores!

"Lee, you know since dad and sue are going out of town this weekend maybe we could have a little party. You know have some fun. It's been awhile since we all got drunk and got loose. I would love to have some fun and drink and dance."

"That would be tons of fun, plus I'm sure with the new legend, that everyone knows is about you and Paul, it might push you guys in the right direction or at least get your minds off it."

I just looked at Leah. Did she have to bring that up? I was trying to forget about it. But she had a point; a party just might help me forget. Once the two carts were rung up and paid for, we loaded them in the truck.

"You call the guys and I will go and get the booze" Leah said hoping out of the car before I had a chance to object. I know why though. She didn't want to call Sam and ask if it was okay. I called and he said sure and that he would call the rest of the guys.

Of course the house was clean and the music was on low by the time we got there. Seth Collin and Brady came out to help us with the bags. Dad and sue were already gone so we could bring everything inside without having to hide the booze or leave it in the car so dad didn't find out about all of the 'underage' drinking that was about to go down in our house. I mean he knows that everyone drinks, but he doesn't want to be near it. He has the whole the less I know the better, father attitude. I bet he thought that I wasn't a virgin anymore but he was wrong. I was a 22 year old virgin. How fucking sad is that. I could have lost it, to anyone really. Embry had a crush on me, so did Jake. And well I don't know if Paul would, plus I didn't want to be another mark in his headboard or mess with the delicate balance of our relationship. I would be lying if I said I didn't want him to be my first. We had got drunk a couple times and kissed and messed around but we never really went all the way. The balance was too easy to destroy and we didn't really want to ruin our friendship. It meant too much to both of us to lose it on a drunken one night stand. But with this new legend I guess anything is possible…
