Chapter 8
I opened the back door of Paul's truck and threw the duffel bag inside. The duffel bag contained everything I own except my blankets. I closed the door and hoisted myself into the front seat.
"That's all you got?" Paul asked. I nodded.
"Well, it is all I need." I sighed and Paul grinned at me.
"I'm glad you aren't like all the other girls with wanting everything. It is sweet." Paul chuckled and I smiled. We listened to the radio as Paul drove to Emily's. Paul hung out there all the time before me and I don't wanna control his life.
When we got to Emily's I hesitated again. Everyone was outside today because it was a nice day out. Paul helped me out of the truck, grabbed my hand, and pulled me towards the people. I stayed behind him as he said hello to the guys. When Paul pulled Sam away to talk to him for some unknown reason I sat next to Nessie. Nessie looked about 14 so I was a little bit more comfortable around her than the rest of these people.
"So, what's up?" she asked.
"Just stopped by my stepdad's house to get my stuff." I smiled weakly at her. She raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" she asked. I shrugged and she frowned.
"Well…" I started when my phone rang. I never use my phone and only two people know my number. Roger and Liz. I pulled it out and flipped it open. "Hello?" I said while walking away from everyone.
"Alia?" Roger's voice came from the other end. My insides burned and I shivered.
"Yes."
"I am putting you up for adoption." he said coldly and my heart froze.
"Why?" I asked shakily.
"Because you are worthless and unwanted." he spit before I heard the other line turn off. I slowly closed my phone as I thought about what he said. My veins turned ice cold. I slowly walked back to the group. I sat down while staring ahead, frozen. I heard Nessie saying my name. My heart was in my stomach and my guts were being torn apart. I saw Jake look at me in my peripheral vision. Nessie told him something and he jogged away.
My insides were being torn apart. My head was pounding and my ears ring. Worthless. Unwanted. Two perfect words to describe me. Now I am going to be shipped away to some other state to be even more worthless and unwanted. My heart was being torn to pieces. I thought the white in my hair was starting to work.
I felt someones hand on my arm. It was warm and electrifying. I didn't have look to see who it was. Paul pulled me up. I could feel all eyes on me and I wanted to hide. I looked up at Paul and his eyes reflected hurt and confusion. He pulled me out down the road. Once we were far enough away he turned to me.
"What happened?" he asked. I couldn't ignore him.
"I'm worthless and unwanted." I whimpered. Paul's eyes widened.
"No you are not!" he growled. "Which one of them told you that?" he asked pulling towards the others. I shook my head.
"Roger did." I whimpered. Paul glared above me. "After he told me he was putting me up for adoption." I whispered. Paul's eyes glowed in hatred and understanding.
"I am not letting you leave. They will have to kill me before that happens." he growled. I imagined that and shivered.
"Just let me go. You can be happy again. You won't have to deal with my problems." I sighed.
"No! No way!" he snarled and I shied away from him. He soften and took a step towards me. "I don't lie, Li. I told you I would protect you and that is exactly what I am going to do." he said softly and I smiled. I wrapped my arms around him.
"You are so sweet." I whispered and blushed. He chuckled.
"You are the only one who thinks that, Li." he laughs. I pull back. Luckily I didn't cry during all this. I must have known that Paul was going to protect me.
"You are like my wolf Paul. I got a wolf in my head to protect me from the dream world and you to protect me from the real world. You are my real world wolf." I giggled and he grinned. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back to the others.
When we sat back down everyone ignored us. I know they were curious but they didn't ask. I sat between Paul and Nessie. Nessie turned and smiled at me. She turned to Jake and put her hand on his shoulder. His eyes went blank until she pulled her hand off him. Weird.
"Guys, guess what? Today is Alia's 14th birthday." Paul announced. I felt my eyes widen. My heart stammered when everyone looked at me. Paul and some of the other guys chuckled and Nessie giggled. They act they can hear my heart. I looked down, my face burning.
"Put me on the spot. Go ahead." I mumbled sarcastically. Paul and Nessie chuckled.
"We should have a party!" Emily exclaimed. My head snapped up.
"No parties, no presents, and no attention!" I flipped. Everyone looked stunned at my outburst except Paul. He just chuckled.
"We gotta do something." Kim laughed. I hid behind Paul. No attention! Please!
"How about we go to the beach tomorrow?" Emily suggested. I glared skeptically. "Come on! It is supposed to be really warm and it's not everyday that someone has a 14th birthday." Emily pleaded. I was about to shake my head when Paul spoke up.
"We are coming." he chuckled. My eyes widened at him.
"I thought you were on my side!" I gasped. He chuckled.
"We are going to celebrate your birthday and you are going to like it." Paul joked. I glared at him. He pleaded with me and my resolve slipped. I sighed and nodded. He smiled at me.
"Yay!" Emily and Kim exclaimed. I put my head down so they wouldn't see me rolling my eyes.
Tomorrow is going to be miserable.
