CHAPTER 7

When Paul left Jacob glanced over at Lexi.

"So when I have your car fixed on Monday where are you going to go?"

"Speaking of my car, how much do I owe you for fixing it? Lexi asked.

"Don't worry about that right now," Jacob told her. "Just answer my question."

"Jake don't worry about it," she told him and let out a sigh. "But Paul said I could stay with him if I need to."

"In his bed obviously," Jacob snapped, upset.

"No Jake," she told him. "And if that's what you think of me…." she began and then held up her hands and turned to walk away but Jacob quickly ran over and grabbed her arm to stop her.

"Alexandria, please wait," he said softly and she turned to look at him and he let go of her arm. Lexi crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him. "That's not what I think about you. I just see how comfortable you and Paul are together already, you've only known each other a few days," he sighed. "And as much as I would love to say Paul is a horrible guy, he's not," Jacob said as he walked over and shut the hood of her car. "He has a bad temper but ninety five percent of the time, he has a good reason for it." he said. "I know if I want the truth about something he won't lie to me just to spare my feelings." he said. "I know you like that to."

"Yeah, lies always hurt more," Lexi whispered and ran her fingers through her hair.

"But there's no reason for you to move in with Paul," he informed her.

"There's not!"

"You can stay with me, permanently if you want."

"Jake I…"

"We'll start unpacking your car."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I'm sure." he told her.

"Ok Jake," she agreed. "I'll stay with you," she told him and she smiled.

"Great!" he said happily. "Lets get everything out of your car."

"Tonight?" she asked.

"Yep."

After the two of them unpacked everything from her car and put it all in Jacob's house they went to their rooms and went to sleep. When they woke up Lexi cooked them breakfast and Jacob went to work on her car some more and Lexi went to work on arranging all her stuff. When Jacob came inside Lexi was still working on getting her things organized in her room. She had her ipod on and had the ear buds in her ears and she was singing and dancing to whatever she was listening to. Jacob leaned against the door frame smiling as he watched her. There was something about Lexi that was special. It couldn't have been an accident that the two of them just happened to meet. What if Paul was right and Lexi was his imprint and what if Paul was right about him hurting her feelings last night. He would never intentionally hurt her or anyone else with a pulse and beating heart. If he did hurt Lexi she didn't act like it or either she was so used to being hurt that it didn't even matter to her anymore. He knew when it came to Bella his emotions and heart outweighed his good sense and better judgment. Jacob let out a sigh as Lexi turned around and saw him leaning against the door frame watching her, Jacob saw her cheeks tint pink and he smiled and she turned her ipod off and pulled the ear buds out of her ears.

"Jake," she said. "You been standing there long?"

"Of course not," he said innocently and smiled but Lexi knew he had from the tone of his voice.

"Liar," she said but he saw she was smiling.

"So I was going to clean up and go to Sam and Emily's. you want to go?"

"You sure?" she asked.

"Yes. If you want to go be ready in thirty minutes."

"Alright."

So thirty minutes later Lexi and Jacob walked out of his house together, headed towards Sam and Emily's.

"Lexi," he said. "Last night when I left you to go to Bella's after saying I would hang out, if that hurt your feelings or…."

"Jake its fine, I'm ok," she told him.

"You sure?"

"I'm fine, I get Bella's your friend and we barely know each other," she said. "We've only known each other a few days, I wouldn't expect you to not hang out with a friend you've known since you were a kid because of me."

"Ok Lexi," Jacob said. "I just don't want to hurt your feelings."

"I'm fine Jake." she assured him.

When the two of them got to Sam and Emily's, Lexi saw everyone was there she had met the first night, Embry, Quil, Sam and Emily, Jared and Kim. She didn't see Paul anywhere though.

"He'll be here," Jacob told her and Lexi looked over at him confused. "Paul, he'll be here." he added and she nodded. "But you haven't met Seth and Leah," he told her and led her over to a guy and girl she had never seen before.. "Lexi this is Seth and Leah." He said and Lexi looked at them. Seth looked to be younger than the other guys but he was really cute.

"Hi Lexi," Seth said happily as he smiled at her. "Its nice to meet you," he added cheerfully. Seth was also very happy. Lexi smiled.

"You to Seth."

"So you're Jake's girlfriend?" Seth asked.

"No," Lexi said slowly.

"Are you anyone's girlfriend?" Seth asked curiously.

"Seth," Jake growled.

"Sorry," Seth said softly.

"Its ok," Lexi told him. "Actually I am no one's girlfriend right now," she said and Seth smiled. "But I think I'm a little old for you."

"Age is just a number," Seth said and winked at her.

"Stop it Seth," Leah told him and Seth glared over at her.

"I'm Leah, Seth is my little brother," she told her and Lexi nodded as she looked at Leah. Leah was very beautiful, everything about her seemed to be perfect. Her hair shined, she was thin and had perfect curves. Her skin also was beautiful, no marks or anything, perfectly flawless.

"So," Leah said. "What brings you here?" she asked. "Since you're not Jake's girlfriend and you're obviously not from La Push."

"Leah be nice," Jacob told her.

"Jake is just helping me out, my car broke down a few days ago and he's fixing it."

"Oh so where are you staying while he's fixing it?" Leah asked.

"Umm…." Lexi began

"She's staying with me," Jacob interrupted. "And she can stay as long as she needs to." he added. "She's going to stay as long as she needs or wants to, we talked about it last night."

"You just met her," Leah pointed out.

"So."

"I'm sure she can go somewhere else Jake," Leah told him. "You don't have to save every stray you come across," she added rudely. "I think the first one was enough."

"Don't bring Bella into this," Jacob warned her. "And Lexi doesn't have anywhere else to go."

"I'm sure she has parents she can stay with."

"Actually Leah she…"

"Actually she can speak for herself," Lexi told them and crossed her arms over her chest. "If I had parents I'd be with them right now," she added as her phone rang. "I'll be right back," she told them and walked out the door. When she was gone Jacob looked at Leah. Embry got up to go stand beside her.

"Jake," Embry warned him. "Don't."

"What exactly is your problem Leah?"

"It was a fair question. Its obvious you haven't imprinted on her and why doesn't she have parents? Did they abandon her?" Leah asked.

"No they're dead Leah," Sam told her. "Two years ago, she thinks it was a bear attack but it was actually that couple I was to late to save from the vampires."

"Oh no," Leah whispered.

"And she just left her fiance because he was cheating on her." Jacob told her.

Lexi stepped out on the porch and answered her phone without bothering to see who was calling.

"Hello."

"Lexi," it was Sawyer.

"Sawyer," she said shocked.

"Yes Lexi its me. I think you should come back home now," he told her. "Its been a couple of days, you've proved your point." he said. "Come back and marry me. It won't happen again Lexi."

"That's a lie Sawyer!" she exclaimed. "I don't know why you want to marry me its obvious you don't love me."

"Love has nothing to do with it," he told her.

"It does for me. I will not marry a man I don't love or one who doesn't love me or have enough respect for me to be faithful and not cheat on me."

"I will find you Lexi, if I have to search the whole state of Washington or the whole country," he said. "I don't care if I have to search the whole damn world for you, you know I have the money to do it and you know I will find you." he promised.

"Sawyer just let me go," Lexi pleaded.

"I'm not letting you go." he told her. "No. I will find you and when not if but when I do I will drag you back here and you will marry me and you'll never be able to leave again," he promised her. "I don't care what it takes, I'll do what I have to." he told her. "See you soon," he promised and hung up the phone. "Lexi stood there staring at her phone shocked and terrified as a tear ran down her cheek.

"So did she ever go into details about any of that, with her ex?" Sam asked.

"Not really, I know he called her again. But I really don't think she had been happy with him for a long time." Jacob said. "From what she has said to me and Paul he wasn't very nice to her anyway and treated her really bad," he sighed. "I don't know why she stayed with him as long as she did. It wasn't for his money because if she just wanted him for his money she would have never left him."

"That's true," Sam agreed. "Just be careful."

"I will Sam," Jacob sighed.

Lexi was still standing on the porch after her phone call with Sawyer. He was going to look for her, he wouldn't stop until he found her and when he did she had no idea what he would do to her.

"Oh no," Lexi said and covered her face with her hands and the tears fell down her cheeks. Paul arrived a few seconds later and that's how he found her. He ran over and touched her shoulder.

"Lexi, what's wrong?" he asked worried and she shook her head.

"Something's wrong," he said. "Look at me, Lexi, baby please look at me," he pleaded and placed his hands on hers and moved them away from her face but kept them in his hands. "Lets sit," he said and sat down on the porch pulling her with him.

"Tell me what happened," Paul said. "What has you so upset?" he asked softly. "You can tell me."

"Sawyer called again," she told him.

"What the asshole have to say today?"

"He asked me to come back to him and I told him no,"

"Good," Paul said.

"Paul, Sawyer said he was going to look for me he didn't care if he had to search the whole country or the whole world. That he was going to find me and drag me back with him and then we were going to get married and I would never get to leave again," she told him and Paul noticed she started shaking a little. "Paul I don't know what to do."

"Well you know I won't let him hurt you," Paul told her and wrapped an arm around her and she laid her head against his chest. "Its ok Lexi," he whispered as he ran his fingers through her hair. "He won't get near you," Paul told her. "Have you talked to Jake yet?"

"No," she whispered. "I can't…"

"You have to," Paul told her and she looked up at him and pulled away. Paul stood up. "I'll be right back."

"Don't leave!" Lexi exclaimed.

"Lexi, I'll be right back, I promise. I'm going to get Jake." he told her and he opened the door and stuck his head in and saw Jacob was in the kitchen.

"Hey Jake," Paul said.

"Its about time you got here," Jacob said.

"We need to talk for a second," Paul told him.

"Ok," Jacob said confused.

"Will you come out here for a second?"

"Alright," Jacob said and he walked over to the door and stepped outside closing it behind him.

"Ok Paul, what's going on?" Jacob asked.

"Its Lexi," Paul told him and Jacob's eyes traveled to Lexi who was sitting on the porch, he could tell she had been crying from her quiet sniffles and that she was upset she was shaking slightly.

"What's going on?" Jacob asked worried.

"It seems we have situation Jake, and its not good." Paul told him
