I do not own Twilight
He brought his business here. I had never felt such rage toward him before. I sat quietly, staring at the table in front of me where the poor guy sat opposite Devon, fumbling with his words as he tried to get himself out of the mess he had fallen into. He was local, from Port Angeles maybe, I think I saw him when I was there with Devon, they had been talking while I shopped. Devon had restarted his business here. It was too dangerous. I didn't like it, not one little bit.
I jumped as a gunshot echoed around the room, the glass to the window behind the guys head was shattered and the poor man was shaking in his seat. A warning shot. Although I had jumped I made sure to keep my face plain, giving off anything would give Devon power to feed off my fear. So I stayed dead panned. The guy who was now quivering in his chair shot me a help look, but he turned to a wince as he saw my harsh stare. I tried to lighten up to show him I was in no way a part of this, but I figured I just grimaced because he shot me another startled look before turning back to Devon who was smirking.
I stayed silent and straight faced as Danny heaved the guy from the house, shouting threats to him as the tyres of his car squealed away. Devon turned to me, smirking like he always did. Power, control, pleasure, it all glistened his stony blue eyes.
"What?" He finally barked at me after staring at me for what seemed like hours. What? I wanted to throttle the bastard for bringing his shitty business so close to my family.
"Nothing. I need to pop out. We have no milk" I scraped my chair backwards, the screech made me wince slightly as it scratched the wooden floor.
"Whatever" He slammed his glass onto the table, shattering it to thousands of tiny shards before stalking to the door; he turned his head, his eyebrows cocked as he smirked slyly. "Clean that up will you" And with that he left, slamming the door shut as he went. He was such a bastard, he had done that just to get to me, just so he could have one ounce of control over me before I went out.
I sat staring at the sharp mess across the table, Danny's smirking face appeared at the window that overlooked the front of the house, and his smirk stared down at me, taunting me.
...
Brady walked next to me, his frowning face watching me as we made our way toward Sam Uley's house, they were having a barbeque and I was invited apparently, even though Brady hadn't known I was coming to his house, I had just turned up.
"You seem quiet today, more than usual and you look pale" He finally said what he had been dying to the whole drive over here. His eyes scanned over me before he nodded, firmly accepting his judgment over me. I suppose I looked different today. Before I left the house I changed into a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and an oversized hooded jumper, my hair was in a high top knot and my make up was a bare minimum. Just like I liked it, simple. But I suppose Brady had become used to me looking proper and doll like. I just shrugged at him as if it was no big deal but he kept staring at me. "What's wrong? You look ready to cry Ally, I know when you're not right and you're not right" We stopped a little short of the steps up to the house, Brady turned to look at me. The maturity on his young face was difficult for me to take, I felt like he was older than me, like he was frowning down upon me.
"I am fine, I feel sick that's all" I tried to smile, but it failed. I wanted to cry, Devon was getting worse, everything was worse.
"Alianna don't lie to me, something is wrong? Did you fight with Devon, because I could sort him out if you need me too" He smirked, a cocky smile only my brother would get away with and I couldn't help but smile at his brotherly protectiveness, he acted older than me. It should be the other way around, me protecting him from a shitty girlfriend. But I just shook my head at him, he couldn't be dragged in to all this.
"Brady leave it, it's fine, I am fine" I nudged his arm and turned back to the porch stumbling closer into Brady as I saw the person stood watching us, Paul. He had a burger in his hand, a mouthful that he had stopped mid chew. His eyes were on me, his mouth slightly hung open giving me that look like he had at the beach. He seemed surprised to see me, yet his eyes were sparkling with delight even though I could feel the ice glare seeping from me.
"Ok Paul enough drooling at my sister. What do you want?" Brady snapped his voice a little more venomous than I had ever heard him speak. He used to adore Paul, he hung of his every word when we had been dating. This was different.
Paul's eyes flashed from me to Brady, his stare hardened to a firm annoyed stare and he gulped the mouthful of burger down before fumbling his words out "Emily said to come out back" His eyes flickered back to me but I dropped mine, it was awkward as hell being around him.
"Come on Ally" Brady pulled me by my wrist, gently but firm, his shoulder nudged into Paul's harshly as we passed him but Paul did nothing, just let us pass. I was about to ask Brady what his issue was but a little squeal of my name interrupted me as we exited the house again via a back door.
"Princess Alianna!" I glanced up to see Claire, dressed in a princess dress, screaming my name and waving at me from Quil's lap. I smiled at her and she bounded from the man's lap, his smile instantly fell into a pout that I would expect to see off a child.
"Hey Claire" My smile grew as her little arms wrapped around my hips, squeezing tightly as he hugged me. She was such a polite child, the perfect kid in my opinion. But then again, I didn't live with her, so she could be a little brat.
"Hi Alianna, it's good to see you again" The girl was pried from me by the woman I recognised to be Emily, the scars down her face made me want to wince but I held it in, trying desperately not to stare at them too much but every inch of me wondered how she had got them. Her smile was as friendly as it had been last time, she had a kind aura to her, I think I could like her. I realised I hadn't replied so I quickly offered a wide smile that she accepted and proceeded to lead me to a table where the other girl from the beach sat, Kim. Leah was on the phone near the trees of the small backyard, she looked up and noticed me and offered me a strained smile before turning back to whoever was on the phone.
I gave Brady a reassuring smile that I was ok and he ran off to where the group of guys were huddled around the BBQ. Paul had come back around, his body was tense and he said nothing as he stood with his friends, he just glanced over at me occasionally, his expression changing between pain, guilt and the way he used to look at me when he would tell me he loved me. But that was crazy, he clearly didn't care for me anymore. He had made that plain to me and he had well and truly showed me the type of guy he was.
...
It was beginning to get dark, my phone hadn't started ringing yet but I knew I was pushing it with how long I had been out. I had been here for three hours now but even while the nagging voice in my head was telling me I needed to leave, I was too comfortable with these people to listen to it. Everyone was welcoming, Leah and I had slipped into our old habits of gossiping and bitching, ignoring the people around us while we did so, and even Paul had began talking again, not to me, but in general, he had stopped the creepy silent staring and taking to a slightly less creepy flicker of the eyes every now and then.
"So how come you moved to Los Angeles?" I choked slightly on the water I was sipping as Quil piped up with the question I thought I had been lucky to dodge. Leah smacked him across the head and Jared started coughing awkwardly but my eyes fell straight to Paul who had once again tensed, his eyes were set right back at me. Oh shit. What the hell do I say to that?
"You got a job offer there wasn't it, and you got into that music school, you play Piano right?" I darted my look to Kim who was smiling, she had answered for me, how she had knew that I had no idea but it was the right answer of sorts, I mean I hadn't had the job when I moved and I had only applied for the music school because of Paul breaking my heart but I suppose I could use that.
"Uhh yeah, Piano, I didn't finish school though, I dropped out after my first year and worked full time" I finished for her, giving her a smile of thanks for her help which she seemed to understand because she flushed slightly as she nodded back at me. I hadn't played piano in years, I doubted I still could but I had been good at one point, good enough to get in to school for it. But then I had dropped out, because I was stupid enough to choose a guy over my education. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
I looked across at Paul, he was still tense, but he didn't seem angry like he had been a few minutes ago, instead his eyes were shut as if thinking to himself.
"And then you met that guy of yours and fell madly in love and now the wedding bells are ringing, real fairytale that one, Claire will love it" Embry joined in, winking at me as he said it. "Gotta say, little disappointed, you could still choose me you know" He winked again while smirking but my stomach dropped and I felt sick, I looked back to Paul who's eyes flashed open, he seemed angry again, more than angry, livid.
"You're engaged?" He spat, the bitterness in his voice made me wince. I nodded, unable to get anything else out as the guy sat opposite me started shaking slightly. He was being so weird, I didn't like it.
"Paul" Sam warned his voice low as he looked across at his friend.
"Why are you engaged? To who?" He barked this time, as if demanding me to tell him. That's when the rage flurried, it was none of his business, and he gave up the right to know anything about my life when he screwed me over. But I couldn't find the courage to snap back at him so I just stayed silent, hoping that the glare I felt was coming from me, was actually coming from me.
"Paul back off, it's none of your business" Brady appeared, he had been over by the BBQ with Collin but he had walked up behind me, placing his hand on my shoulder as he glared at Paul. Paul flew up from his seat, his shakes getting worse as he stared at my brother. What was this? Brady never used to hate Paul.
"None of my business? It would have been nice to have been told this before, been enjoying it have you? All knowing behind my back and saying nothing" His angry voice thundered over the awkward silence that fell over the group. I frowned; I couldn't understand why he was so angry.
"You have no right to know anything about her life anymore Paul. This changes nothing. I told you, you stay away from her you hurt her enough" Brady stormed past me, squaring up to the much bigger Paul as he went. Sam and Embry both flew from their seats and made their way to the two guys while stayed still, watching and not understanding what was going on.
"I can't do that. You have no authority over me pup" Paul pushed Brady's shoulder harshly and he flew back slightly, the rage within me peaked and I flew up, making my way toward them as Brady started shouting stuff back at him that I didn't understand, something about an imprint never working, that I hated him. I ignored it and instead pulled on his arm, trying to get him to back off but he didn't budge.
"That can change, get your hands off me" Paul roared, he gave Brady another push this time the force sent me flying backwards but Jared caught me, Paul stopped instantly, his head span to me and he seemed worried for a second before the shaking caught up again. "Sorry" He started but I shook my head and pulled at Brady again.
"Save it Paul, I need to leave Devon will wonder where I am" I looked up at Brady who just nodded, turning with me I ignored the mumbles Paul let out, he was grumbling the word Devon and prick a few times before being pulled away by Sam. I turned and said goodbye to everyone quickly before practically running through the house with Brady following me. When we were far enough from the people in the house I rounded on him, stopping just short of my car.
"What the hell was that about? You used to love Paul and what's an imprint?" I clicked my car open and chucked my bag in before turning back to stare at my brother who suddenly seemed to shrink as if he had been caught doing something naughty.
"Imprint? I never said that. I have no idea what you're on about" He was too quick to answer, he was panicking, his hands were fumbling against one another as he shook his head at me.
"Right, but what's the issue with Paul?" I cocked an eyebrow and his panic died down, instead he started to shake like Paul had.
"He has no right to know about your life, he pisses me off he is so arrogant. He hurt you Ally, I'm not stupid, you never told me what he did but I know, and I hate him for it. He pushed you away and now he thinks he can erase it all and get you back" He stopped, his head fell so he was looking to the floor and he let out a frustrated cry. "Never mind"
Get me back? My stomach swirled at the thought but I bit it back, I couldn't feel like that. I wanted nothing from Paul, no friendship, no apology and certainly no other feelings. I hated him, emphasis on the hate. "He will never have me back Brady. He ruined that; I won't go running to him. Just don't pick fights, he's bigger than you" I tried to sound confident but the look on Brady's face made me feel uncomfortable, like he knew something, he seemed upset like he didn't believe the words I was saying but before I could say anything to him my phone started ringing from inside the car. Devon, I didn't even need to look I knew it was him.
"I gotta go, look just calm it with him, I'm with someone, he can't have me back. Now just calm down. I'll see you soon" I leant up and kissed his burning hot cheek, he had a constant temperature, I hadn't mentioned it much, and when I did he shrugged it off.
I climbed into my car and made my way back onto the dark main road, the phone kept buzzing from the seat beside me but I ignored it, but I couldn't ignore the feeling I was being watched. It was constantly on me when I was alone or at home. It hadn't been there when I was with the guys earlier, but as soon as I was by myself it came back. Taunting me to look around me into the darkness but I didn't, I kept my eyes on the road ahead, where my headlights shone.
...
"Where the hell were you last night?" The first thing I heard as I walked into the kitchen the next morning, it wasn't Devon's angry voice but Danny's. It was like he thought he owned me as well as his brother. I didn't answer him; I just walked past him and headed toward the fridge.
"Don't ignore me bitch" His hand clasped around my wrist and twisted me back around to face him, his drink fuelled rage was plain to see in his cold eyes. I hated this guy.
"Where's Devon?" I tried to snap back but I sounded frightened. I was, Danny had no control over his rage, I had seen him with past girlfriends of his, they would leave battered and bruised whereas Devon wasn't usually a big hitter he liked to fight with words and pushes than slaps and punches.
"Away, on last minute business, it's just us" The glint in his eyes as he said it sparked danger, he was vile. I tried pulling back from him but his grip tightened as his smirk widened.
"Where were you huh? Yesterday? I told Devon you were probably whoring yourself out to local men. By the smell of it, you were" He grabbed my head and yanked it down, I smelled like BBQ smoke, I had no idea how that smelt like men to him. But I said nothing, just pulled against his hold.
"Don't ignore me" He roared into my face, his beer breathe made me gag but before I could do anything his hand came tearing down onto my cheek, a harsh sting erupted in my cold skin and it burned.
My hand flew up to press against it and I steadied myself, glaring at the man who had no right to touch me. "Don't touch me" I spat, finally finding my voice as I stumbled away from him.
"What you gonna do honey? Cry to your daddy? Get here" He grabbed for me again, I ran backward but fell onto the fridge and his hand closed around my throat pulling me back up before pushing me back into the hard wall. "I see you, looking at us the way you do, like you're so much better than us, like you're disgusted. I think you need to realise what life you have here, you get whatever your ass wants, and Devon's too stupid to realise he's kept you far too long" His low voice was sending chills through me, he was worse than his brother, he was so much worse.
"Just let me go" I gasped against the harsh choke hold he had on me, my legs kicked out but Danny let up a chuckle. I was sure it was him that had been watching me, he had the creepy feel to him, the same type of creepiness I felt when I was alone. He launched me forward, letting me fall into the kitchen table, my cheek crashed into the side of the wooden table and I felt the scratch burn down my cheek, I turned on instinct and raised my own fist to hit back at the man approaching me, I caught his jaw but not hard enough, his own fist came plummeting down on my mouth and the taste of blood filled me as my lip split. Why was he doing this, I hadn't done anything.
I hit out again, this time more forceful and he fell back, giving me a clear exit to the door which I took. Pushing myself hard through the house I grabbed my car keys from the hallway table and ran out into the morning, the cold air hitting me as I jumped into my car. Locking the doors as I started the car, I could see him in my mirrors running out after me but I slammed my foot down and sped away and down the dirt road that took me to the main one. I didn't stop, not even for the one red light that shone as I came to the turning for the main area of La Push, the diner and store's that lay in a row. I pulled up and let it all out, the pain that throbbed in my face from his hits. I had done nothing to him. He just was a vile man. Tears fell from me, everything was so much worse here. I had all these horrible feelings stirring over Paul, I felt so vulnerable at the house, the men had gotten worse, I felt watched, even as I sat here I felt watched. Everything was too much. Sobs rocked through me as I sat there, blood still dripped from the cut on my mouth and I could feel my cheek bruising from the slap and the slam into the table.
A knock on my window startled me and I looked up to see Leah stood watching me, her face creased in worry as she pulled on my door handle. I clicked the lock open and she wrenched the door open before kneeling down to my level. I couldn't think straight as she stared at me. I was a mess.
"Alianna, what the hell happened to you?"
I stared at her, unable to think of a lie, I couldn't lie. Things just got worse.
Please people review, PM or something? 2 reviews is a killer :( I know nothing much is happening at the minute but unless I know people are reading I can't get to the good bits that I have planned.
