Chapter 9-Need you now…

Jasper POV

"Bella?" I said softly at her door. I could hear her softly sobbing. I was torn, I did this to her. But I couldn't just barge in on her. I refused to do that to my sister. But I left for college in two days and refused to leave on bad terms. Returning all the way to Texas, with no good bye from my sister? I think not. I think I will deal with Alice first, that's why I'm in this mess. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number as I walked to my room. "Alice we need to talk…"

Bella POV

I woke up the next morning with no text from Paul. It made me a little sad but figured he went to bed late and had no need to really worried. I tried my hardest to not interfere with my brother, making sure I would not bump into him when I left. A knock on my door made me jump, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Who is it?" My voice was still a little rough from the crying I did last night.

"Its mom, can I please come on?" She sounded so worried. Well duh!

"Sure, it's open." She walked in and quietly shit the door behind her. "What's up mom?" I sat down on the love seat positioned near my window.

"Sweetheart, I'm a little worried about you lately." She walked across the room and sat next to me. "You ran off this weekend and gave us all a scare. I didn't know where you were or who you were with. I was scared. I didn't know what to do when your father called me to tell me you weren't home. Jasper wouldn't tell us anything. Then he comes home with a beaten up Edward. Bella, please you can talk to me." She rested her hand on my thigh.

"Mom," I didn't know where to start. "I'm sorry. I came home with Rose, after Alice made me mad, Emm was home and I was so happy. But then Jasper decided to pick a fight. They argued, Rose talked me into going to see Paul. It was late but Emm held Jasper and Edward back. I left. When I arrived at Paul's and I saw him, I realized how much I missed him and how much I loved him still. He made me smile more in two minutes than anyone did in two months and I remembered the fun times I had. I spent the night, I made him breakfast and we were having a great day…" I explained everything to her and how I felt. "…So I finally said good bye to come home and face what I've prolonged." I sighed heavily. I chanced a glance at my mom; her eyes glistened with unshed tears.

"It sounds like my baby is in love. My baby girl, he's everything you want, he's everything you need, and he's everything inside of you that you wish you could be. He says all the right things at exactly the right time, but he means everything to you and I know why; because you truly love him."

I took a deep breath. I didn't know how or what to say. "I do." I muttered. "I really do love him, more than you know." She let out a small laugh.

"I love you Bella, choose wisely. Now, get ready for school. You won't fail your senior year because you found true love." I laughed.

"'Kay mom." She left after that. I dressed in a nice pair of jeans, my pink polo from American eagle and a pair of simple black flats. I ran a quick brush through my hair and headed out. I made a quick stop in the kitchen for a bottle of water and a cereal bar. No sign of Jasper, good. I grabbed my keys and left for the garage. Shit! Jasper was just getting in his care.

"Bella." He got back out. Looked at me.

"I have to go, I have school." I ducked my head and got in my Jeep. I drove to school and without another word to Jasper. My day went by fast. I don't remember talking to Rose at all. She and Emmett had a great night. If you catch my drift and did not want to know details of my cousin's sex life.

My week flew by, everyday dragging slower. I couldn't get my mind off of Paul. Every time I called him, it went straight to voice mail. I wanted to drive down and see him, just to check to see if he was okay. Jasper had backed off, I guess mom really scared him, but I didn't care. I haven't talked to Alice ever since she stood by my brother and Edward. Emmett went back to New York he had a football season to finish, and college.

I was currently sitting in the cafeteria with Rose, I was half listening to her, the other half of me was day dreaming about Paul and the next time I would be able to see him. "Bella, Bella!" Rose shouted, she threw a piece of bread at me, which only went down my shirt. She held back a chuckle. "Ha! Deserves you right! You were ignoring me." She pouted and turned the other way.

"Oh come on Rose. You were going on and on about you and Emmett, I don't want details, he's like a brother to me. Geez!" I shook my head and rolled my eyes.

"Okay, okay, you got me there!" She laughed it off. We went the rest of lunch just talking about anything and everything. As we were walking out she asked, "have you talked to Paul lately?"

"No, I haven't, why?"

"You looked a little sad. Did you guys get into a fight?"

"No, it's just my family doesn't like him very much and I don't know, we haven't had it very easy. But were trying. I haven't called him nor talk to him."

"Well, after school let's take a drive out to see him."

I smiled at her kind gesture. "Thanks Rose, but I think I will go solo. Thanks anyways!"

"No problem, I have always loved my cousin and I always want to see her happy!" We continued to walk down the hallway, laughing.

The rest if my day dragged on. Never ending. I went about my afternoon chores, homework, dishes, and dinner. After everything was set and put away, I jumped into my jeep and headed to Paul's. It was a short drive down to La Push, and a quiet one at that. As I started to pull up to his house, my stomach was ambushed by butterflies. I had never had this feeling before, and something in the back of my head told me to leave, to get out. Something was going to happen and I shouldn't be here when it did. But I, of course, didn't listen to that little voice called intuition. I parked my jeep out in front, I sat for a minute, expecting Paul to come out, but he didn't. This made me a little more suspicious. I slowly got out and made my way to the front door. It was already opened a crack. "Paul?" I called out, not loud, but as people would call it my inside voice. I could hear faint talking coming from the back room. "Paul?" I called out again, as I neared the door, I heard what was actually being said.

"I told you to please stop calling me…" I wondered who he could be talking to. "Ugh! I've told you, I'm done!" Could it have been a fling with some girl? One he had after we broke up? I continued to listen. "I've been clean for years now, stop calling me! I don't want to do business with you! Now please, stop calling me. In fact I'll make a deal, if I need anything, you will be the first one I call. If someone I know needs anything, I will give them your number." What was he talking about? My breathing became quicker; I was slowly spinning into a panic attack. "Okay, good, yeah, I'll talk to you later." He hung the phone up and turned towards me. When he spotted me in the door way, he looked like a deer caught in head lights. His eyes were wide, mouth hanging open. I could feel tears welling in my eyes, threatening to spill over. "B-b-Bella, b-baby, uh." He stuttered over his sentence. The tears started to cascade down my cheeks. I couldn't handle this, I turned and ran to the door. All intentions on leaving. "Bella, baby, wait." I could hear him following me.

I got to my jeep's door, two arms circled around my waist. "Let go of me!" I shouted. I struggled a few minutes, my arms and leg flaring, but Paul held me tightly.

"Bella, please, Shh." He kept cooing in my ear. I kept my struggling attempts up, but after five minutes, I gave up. My attempts were failing, epically. "Please, listen to me." He smoothed my hair away from my tear stained face.

"You lied to me Paul. You kept something from me for all these years. I thought you were the one I was in love with and now, now to find out you were lying to me all these times. All the times I opened up to you Paul. I broke down all of walls for you Paul, told you everything, I called you when I needed support! You were a liar, all these times when I asked if something was bothering you Paul, you told me nothing. I don't know what to do Paul, what are you keeping from me?" I shouted, still squirming in his embrace. He slowly loosened his hold on me, but when I started to drop to my knees, he slowed me down, falling with me. When he still didn't answer me, I questioned him again. "Tell me Paul, for two years, what have you kept from me? Were you cheating on me?" My voice was nothing but a whisper now, but I knew he heard me. He started placing kisses on my head, and every time I flinched away from his touch. I had given up by now, trying to get out of his arms.

"Bella, it's in my past. Please baby…"

"Until I get answers, do not call me baby." I cut him off, letting as much anger slice threw my tone as possible.

"Bella, listen, it was before I met you. Something I have already dealt with."

"Tell me! Now!"

"Okay, listen, when I'm finished please don't run. I don't know if I can lose you."

"I can't make any promises."

"Huh, okay." He took a deep breath, squeezed me to his chest a little tighter before continuing. "When my parents died, I was only 13, my closest family member lived in Colorado. I didn't want to move out there and lose this house. My whole childhood was in this house. I couldn't lose that too. So Billy took me in, a foster parent. But he let me stay here, in my house. It wasn't my home any more, my family was gone, it was just an empty house. Billy always checked on me, made sure I was at school, was getting good grades and all that grand shit." He took another deep breath. "I started seeing this senior in school, she was a major drug addict. I started to experiment and by 15 I was addicted to heroin, cocaine, and was a bad alcoholic.

"One day, I was being stupid, I got a good high and started to roam Forks with a brown paper bag, in that bag was my vodka. I was pulled over by a cop, who had a ride along student, of course in the condition I was in they brought me to jail. I had blood test ran, and was put in detox. I was detained to go to court. I was ordered to go to rehab, and come clean. I did but it took so long, when I found you, I vowed to stay clean for you. I wanted a chance at a normal, happy life. I never wanted to tell you, but when I realized your brother was the one on the ride along, I started to freak. Then she started to call me again, she just got out of rehab, but is starting already. She's been in and out since I went in." His voice became shaky, it started to sink in, what he said. My brother has known all along. "I'm so sorry Isabella." He started to cry into my hair.

"Oh Paul, I think I need to go." He wouldn't loosen his grip on me.

"I love you Bella, please don't leave me." He begged.

"Paul," Out of the night came a sultry voice. "I haven't seen you in so long, I thought I would stop by in person, since the way that phone call ended…"
