Okay let me say this…..I wanted to post a new chapter but I couldn't XD My laptop broke down on me and I had to wait to get it fixed. Which btw it took 12 days to get corrected soo posting was impossible before valentine's day. Now if you don't think that is a good excuse how about they deleted everything off of my laptop, including the half written story that I had typed, two papers and 3 essays. Let me say the one piece opening it long, I know its random but I'm watching it while typing so yeah. Now back on topic, so I had to write the papers first and then this; and let me say I was pissed lol. And typing while pissed off is bad for your fingers, I felt the need to smash the keys XD anyway on to the story.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the characters that you don't recognize from the series.

Paul's P.O.V

" No."

The word echoed in my mind as I stared down at the petite female who moved away after my hand came into contact with her pale cheek. I stood there not really sure what had just happened between us. I didn't move a muscle as Savannah moved away from me and headed the opposite direction, obviously trying to get away from me as quickly as possible. Not that I bothered chasing after her, I knew it would cause more harm than good if I went after her even if every muscle in my body was begging me to chase after my imprint. Savannah wasn't the type of girl that could be swayed easily; something that I had to learn through weeks of attempts of getting any reaction out of the girl. She didn't respond well to flattery, often looking at me as if I had grown a second head if I so much as complimented her shirt, and small talk was useless because you could only get a few words out of her before you could tell she was obviously uninterested.

Sighing I moved straight ahead towards my locker to grab a few books before I left and hopefully get a glimpse of Jared before I left to tell him to keep an eye on Savannah.

" Who was she?"

I paused when I heard the icy voice and knew immediately who it was that had spoken to me. I was starting to think that someone was starting to hate me for all the bad shit I've done in my life. It would be hard to convince me that I wasn't being punished because honestly it was starting to feel that way.

" Its none of your business Aiyanna." I said, trying to keep my voice neutral as I turned around to face the dark haired girl. Any wrong word would set her off her rage and I knew her target wouldn't be me. Aiyanna was one of those girls that knew when their boyfriend's fucked up but felt the need to be catty towards the female even though they weren't at fault. It was something that happened once or twice in our relationship and both outcomes had been pretty messy.

" I think it is." She scoffed slowly stalking towards me, trying her best to control the situation. If anything she wasn't gonna lose her cool over something, especially something she considered private matters. " Your forgetting that you and I are connected now, I have something that's yours and that isn't going to be ruined by some little bitch your trying to get with. Right now, I am your top priority." She said, exaggerating the yours part and I found my eyes narrowing.

" You are forgetting that it is both of ours, It wasn't just me there when it happened. You need to get your damn priorities straighten, this situation isn't meant to make us this big happy family Aiya. Stop thinking about yourself for a second."

" Oh I'm thinking about myself now am I?" She scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest. " You get to do whatever the hell you want with whoever the hell you want while I have to sit here and watch. Only for you to get tired of her and come back to me like nothing you've done is wrong. I am sick of it and I don't deserve the way you treat me." She cried out as tears started to form in her eyes, threatening to spill out in any second.

" Aiya, stop trying to make me out to be the bad guy in this. I admit that I have messed up but you have too, yet you don't own up to it. That's why we aren't together and the reason that I'm not coming back to you. Aiyanna we aren't nice people when we are together, our relationship was just a game trying to see which one of us could screw the other over worse. I don't want this." I said gesturing to both of us. " Its over, it was okay while it lasted but its never happening again. I will always be there for you but don't think that I will ever love you." I finished and quickly walked around her to put an end to the conversation before either of us said something we weren't ready to let the crowd around us know.

" Dammit Paul you just can't end it like this!" She shouted and I knew that she was following after me. Everyone in the hallway watched the two of us, no doubt thinking that they were in for a show. " Paul I'm talking to you!" She shouted once more when she saw that I had kept walking, I just rolled my eyes at her dramatic behavior.

" I was trying to leave while we both had a bit of dignity." I called lazily over my shoulder, I could hear a few people muffle their laughter. Ahead of me Jared was frowning at the two of us and Kim shook her head before turning to Jared, whispering for him to fix this. I slowed my pace as I approached the two but before I could take two steps in their direction Aiyanna had grabbed onto my arm. I could have easily pulled away from her grasp but her next words caused me to pause.

" Paul if you leave now I swear you will never see your child! "

The threat rang clearly in the hall, and immediately everyone broke out into a loud whisper. I looked down at Aiyanna and she smirked back at me, her face filled with satisfaction. She had gotten what she wanted, everyone knew about the baby, Savannah was bound to find out now. She wouldn't want anything to do with me now, Aiyanna had made sure of that now and I couldn't do anything to fix it.

" I can't believe that they both were so stupid but honestly I knew this would happen eventually."

I looked at Aiyanna not bothering to hide the disgust and anger I felt toward her right now. I could feel myself shaking and my hand move , as if on its own, to her hand that was still grabbing on to my arm.

" They have to be the worlds worst parents, I honestly feel sad for the kid."

I grabbed her hand and I could hear the muffled cries of Aiyanna saying that I was holding her too tight and it hurts but I was too lost in my anger. I could only think about how she ruined my chances of being with my imprint.

" He is gonna be such a deadbeat father. I know he is going to make her do all of the work while he goes and sleeps around. Did you see him with that girl earlier? I bet she is some type of slut."

Jared quickly ran over and grabbed ahold of my arm, pulling me off of her before grabbing me by the shoulders and pulling me away from Aiyanna and the group os spectators. He kept repeating he was getting me out of here but I didn't know if he was talking to me or Kim, who was following right behind us.

" Just get her out of here without anyone saying anything to her. Make sure you avoid Aiyanna." Jared said to Kim, I made a mental note to thank Kim and Jared when this was over. " Remember spring break starts tomorrow, I suggest you tell her before she finds out." Jared said although I didn't say anything and just let him drag me out.

Savannah's P.O.V

Class was once again missing Paul not that any one seemed to notice or care. I silently prayed that he didn't leave because I rejected him, something I was sure he wasn't used too. It wasn't that I wanted to say no to him, his offer had been very sincere but I wasn't ready for any form of relationship. It felt like dating Paul would sign my life away and I couldn't have that, I wanted to make something of myself and Paul would distract me from that.

The loud sound of the bell ringing signaling the end of a long school day interrupted my thoughts. I waited for all of the students to rush out of the room before I gathered my things and followed suit. Once I headed out of the room I headed towards the large crowd of students trying to all get out of the door at once as if they had somewhere else more important to be.

" This is ridiculous." I mumbled to myself as I adjusted my bag so the strap wasn't digging into my shoulder.

" I know." A voice chuckled beside me causing me to jump. Turning to look at the new comer I raised my eyebrow. "Sorry," Kim apologized with a blush as she looked down at her feet.

" It's okay, its my own fault for getting startled so easily." I chuckled to myself although I couldn't help but wonder why she was here, she and Jared seemed to be joined at the hip so seeing her without him was a bit weird for me. " Where's Jared?" I asked looking around for the large boy.

Kim frowned to herself as if she was thinking about something before shaking her head and looking back at me. " He and Paul had something to do." She explained with a shrugged. " So I wanted to see if you wanted to walk home with me. I know a short cut that could get you out of this place a little faster and so you won't have to deal with whatever immature behavior is going on out there." She nodded to the group of guys that were trying to get some of the freshman girls to talk to them.

" Yes please!" I exclaimed causing her to chuckle as she turned around and walked the other way that lead to the teacher's parking lot. We walked outside in silence, listening to the loud noises that were coming from the front of the school as we walked through the parking lot on the right side of the building. We stayed that way for ten minutes before Kim started looking over at me as if she wanted to say something, finally deciding that it was okay she spoke.

" Do you like Paul? " She asked suddenly, the question catching me off guard. I didn't know how to respond to that, I never really focused on my feelings for the boy that had recently been plaguing my thoughts.

" I don't know honestly." I shrugged, hoping that this would be the end of the conversation but apparently Kim didn't seem to some to the same conclusion as me.

" He likes you, you know." She sighed to herself. " Paul isn't a bad guy, he just makes stupid decisions without realizing the consequence but he isn't bad. You just have to get to know him Savannah, there is more too him."

I looked at her, wondering what brought this up. " You know if I didn't know any better I would say that you may be crushing on Paul." I smirked and let out a small chuckled when I heard her snort.

" Never, I am strictly Jared's." She chuckled as she shook her head." I just want Paul to be happy, he's my friend and I want him to have someone that will be there for him. He has been throu-"

" I can't get him out of my head." I admitted interrupting her, the admission causing her to pause. " Its every day, since he came back. I can't get him out of my head and I long for him when I'm not near him. It scares me honestly, I haven't known him long and I've talked to him a handful of times but I feel this pull towards him that scares me."

" Why are you scared?" She asked resuming her pace beside me. I hadn't thought that she would take my admission as if it a were normal thing that people say everyday.

" Because I don't want to give myself over completely to a person I know is going to break me." I sighed and silently thanked the elders when my house came into view. " Look." I said turning to Kim. " I don't have nothing against Paul, he seems like a great guy but I'm not ready for what he is offering, maybe you can find a girl for him but its not me. So I guess I'll see you later." I gave her a small wave before heading towards my house, leaving Kim standing there watching me as I walked away.
