Chapter 7

BPOV
I can't believe I told him that. I know it's not that big of a deal, but most people think it's strange. So I don't tell anyone. But the truth is, meeting Leah was the best thing that ever happened to me! I had a feeling a new person would be overtaking her in the ranks though!

"I know it's sad, and wierd. But, Leah is the best thing that has ever happened to me and if you don't like that then you can go fuck yourself!"

As soon as I said it I felt bad. Now he would hate me for sure. The tears began to well up in my eyes. I was pathetic.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean..."

He cut me off.

"Shh, its ok baby I understand. And I don't think it's wierd at all. I actually think that's really special. From what I've seen you guys are like sisters. Oh god, I'm turning into a girl now!" I giggled and he gave me that breathtaking smile.

"Jared?" I asked cautiously, not sure I really wanted to ask, in case he noticed our position or made me go home.

JPOV

She asked me the one question I was dreading she would ask.

"Why am I here?"

I stiffened. "Um, well the thing is you see, my house is closer than yours or Leah's, and you looked really tired so Sam told me to take you back here."

"Oh." She seemed disappointed with that answer. Did my angel want the reason to be that I wanted to spend time with her? This was true, but if I told her she might think I'm some kind of weirdo.

"I mean, I'm really glad you came here though, because I got to know you better."

Her frown turned into a breathtaking smile. I was so happy. I couldn't believe what had happened to her though. I wanted to kill her father, I wanted to kill all of those foster parents that rejected her, and I wanted to find her brother.

Then an idea hit me. It would allow me to spend more time with her, and it would make her happy.

"Hey, Bella?" I asked looking down at her beautiful heart shaped face, even if it was stained with tears.

She looked up at me waiting for me to continue.

"Do you think..." I said hesitantly, worried that she would get really sad and run off or something. I quickly composed my face, I had a feeling that she was tired of looks of pity, and people being cautious around her, like she could break down any minute.

But she could. But she wouldn't. She was stronger than this and I would help her. I decided to just get it over with and my words came out in a rush.

"?Together?It'." (Do you think that we could research and stuff and find your brother? Together? It's just I know you miss him and it would make you really happy.)

I held my breath as I waited for her to reply. Suddenly she burst into tears. Oh wait a go Jared, you made her cry!

"You would do that for me?" She whispered and then I realised she wasn't sad crying. She was happy crying!

I would never understand girls. I mean, if Embry said he'd help me find a long lost brother, (except I don't have one!) I would be like:

"Thanks man that means a lot." And then we would fist pound or something and get to work. Not start crying! Well, Quil might!

Oh yeah in this story the order they phase is different, so far it is (In order of when they phased):

Sam, Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, Leah.

Back to the story...

"Of course I would do that for you Bella! When do you want to start?"

"Now?" She said unsurely.

"Sure, ok!"

"Let's go to my room where my laptop is." I said as I led her up the stairs. I swear I sounded a lot more confident than I actually was. My angel was going into my room. I ran ahead of her and quickly began to tidy up a little. I hadn't noticed her walk in the room and blushed...Yes I blushed!...when I noticed her giggling.

Oh well, I guess it was a good thing that she knows I care about what she thinks of my room!

I walked in and pulled out a chair for her, while I sat on a bean bag.

"Ok." I said. I knew quite a bit about computers, so I knew what to do."

"What is your last name?"

"Meraz."

Hmm. Same as Paul. Paul moved here with his adoptive parents only a few months ago. I wonder if...not that's impossible. It would just be wierd. Surely they would have met, right? Mind you, I had never met her and she's been here for 3 years.

"Ok, what is your brother's name? We can search for him."

She shuffled her feet. "Um, I don't know." She said in a small voice. My poor baby, I just wanted to hold her and never let go.

My eyes widened in shock.

"You don't know?"

"Well, you know what my father...did. (I growled.) Well yeah, he started ever since I was born, and I think he was hurting my mother before then as well, so um he didn't tell me his name. Mom tried to, but he somehow managed to hear her when she started to tell us each other's names and slapped her. We tried to tell each other ourselves, but he wouldn't let us either. He always called me bitch or whore, and my brother was just called cunt. He didn't really hurt my brother. Just made him watch what he did to me, and of course my mom before she died."

She was in tears by now. I ran over and hugged her, letting her sob into my chest.

"Shh, baby its ok now. It's ok." I decided to take her mind off of things.

"Don't worry baby, we'll just research your family tree!"

She nodded and I searched. The results were shocking:

Marez family tree
