Her Only Hope
I know the definition of pain. I lived with it for almost a year. So when I heard that his imprint left him, I know I had to save him from that agony. When someone you love rips out your heart and it's the person you love more than anything it makes you numb to everything, cold to the people that want to help you, but more importantly it makes you feel worthless. All I wanted was to save him, not fall in love with him, but he made me. He did what Jacob tried so hard to do. He made me forget Edward. It's just too bad that he doesn't feel the same. His imprint would come back eventually and Edward …Well he never let me go.

Chapter Seven Unwanted Guest
As I knocked on Paul's door with a pot of stew I felt like my heart was going to explode. "Paul… are you… in their" I stuttered.
I knocked again but I was convinced that he was in home. I turned the door knob and it opened. I walked inside. Paul's house was small but big enough for two people to live here.
At the end of the hallway were three rooms, to my left was the living room and to my right was the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and sat the pot on the counter.
There was a notepad and a pen sitting on the counter. I decided that I should leave him a note. I made some stew thought you like some BELLA.
I scratched out my name and put Emily's instead. You're a coward I thought. I wanted to stay and look around but it was bad enough I was in his house without his permission. I sat it the note next to the pot.
I wish he was here. I really wanted to see him. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE SWAN?" I spun a around with my hand touching my heart.
He looked same but yet different. He was still tall and muscular. He was still unbelievably handsome. I could see why girls found him so attractive.
When he smiled at you it made you just want to melt like ice cream on a hot summer's day but when he was glaring at you like he is at me right now it made you wish you could just disappear.
I didn't realize I stopped breathing for a second so I took a deep breath. "You… scared me" I said still out of breath. "That's what happens when you break into other people's houses" he yelled.
"I didn't break in your door was unlocked. "I am not in the mind so just answer my question." "I made some stew for Billy and I thought you might like some I whispered.
" What's wrong with me I thought? My heart was still racing. "I should go Billy's waiting for me I said as I was heading for the exit. He moved to stand in my way.
"I'm surprised to see you Swan." "I thought for sure your leech would have stopped you from coming" he said like he was indifferent.
"Edward tried but I promised Seth" I said emphasizing Edward name. "I know the kid wouldn't shut up about you when I had to patrol with him."
The last time I was this close to Paul was when I slapped him. I wanted to say something but the words were stuck in my throat. We just stared at each other for a few minutes.
"So why are you really here Swan" he said breaking the silence. "Did Emily send you.""No I came because I wanted to" I whispered."Why he asked. "I just wanted to help you."
"When Edward left me I felt the same way." "Don't he said as he slowly backed away from me. "Don't you dare compare my felling for my imprint to your sick obsession with that leech" he said.
"Obsession" I thought. "His not my obsession Edward is my future husband" I yelled. "And I love him." "Love" he laughed sinister.
"You don't know the first thing about it Swan" he said as he glared at me. "You don't the first thing about me Paul." "Don't flatterer yourself" he said with discuss.
"You're so easy to figure out to the point where it's sad." My heart was still racing and I wish it was because I was mad. Paul had this way of making me doubt myself.
"Do you always have to be a jerk" I yelled. "All I wanted to do was bring you something to eat and cheer you up a little."
"Ahh how sweet of you Swan but I don't feel like being cheered up so GET THE HELL OUT." I'm such an idiot I thought me help Paul Lahote what a joke.
"Fine I said as I stormed out of the kitchen. I was about to open the front door when Paul grabbed my bruised. I yelled in pain as I turned around.
"Don't touch me" I said as I back into the front door. I cradled my arm to my chest hoping he wouldn't pay me any minded. Paul gently took my arm and unbuttons the sleeve of my shirt.
He rolled up the sleeve until he saw the bruise. He gasped. I slowly looked up at him. His eyes showed so much emotion. He reached out and cupped my face.
His warm calloused hands were rough but his touch was so gently. I closed my eyes and let myself enjoy his touch. It was so different from Edwards.
Edward hands were cold, smooth and as hard as garnet and Paul were… I don't know how to explain it. His were the hands of a man rough and strong but gently when he wanted to be.
"I'm so sorry Bella" he said. "I didn't mean to grab you so hard… I thought was… I don't know what I thought" he said.
"Paul this isn't your fault it's Edwards" I said before I realized I was talking. Paul started to shake and backed away from me again.
"You need to leave now Bella" he growled out. "Paul" I said as I reached out for him. "Leave" he yelled in a nonhuman voice.
I opened the door and ran to my car to my surprise with falling. As I pulled out of his driveway I could hear glass breaking in the house.
I didn't stop driving until I got to Billy's house. I ran inside and almost fell over Billy. "Bella are you alright" he asked. I was breathing so hard I couldn't answer.
"I fine" I said after a few minutes. "Are you sure." I nodded my head. "I'm going to take a shower" I said as I walked to the bath room.
When I got into the bathroom I took off my cloths and got into the shower. I set the water to warm and sat down I didn't know what surprised me more.
Him caring when he thought he hurt me or when he got mad when he found out Edward did it. All I know was I could not give up on Paul.
