Chapter Nine

I knew he was a werewolf, I just I didn't expect it. And as soon as Paul's eyes bore into mine the weight of my situation, my placement in life, where fate had so cruelly place me showed it's ugly face and I broke down. I started to cry again and the arms that were holding me back turned me away from the world and started let me cry to my heart's content.

I didn't see Paul's expression but I felt that connection he was talking about. I felt his guilt and his pain, I don't know when the person holding me moved till I was being laid in a bed and the person's arms were wrapped around my shaking frame. "It's okay Wen it'll all be okay." Jacob, I looked up at him and he was staring at the wall. "Jake," He didn't look at me. "Jake danmit look at me." He looked down and sighed.

"I knew it was a vampire that killed my mom but I didn't know who it was Wen, so can we not talk about it and he just killed your mom so I should be worried about you." I nodded. He seemed so stressed contradictory to his easy going nature. I hugged him back. I felt the tears start to stream once again. We didn't talk, we just laid on the bed and didn't speak a word. We didn't do anything for days. At least that's what Emily said when I went to the bathroom. Jake would always, (when I showed signs of life) ask if I missed Paul, every time I was tempted to say no but I couldn't spare the heart break.

They 'found' my mom's body in the door way of our house and the cops said it was an animal attack and the wolves we getting restless and needed to be contained so after the funeral they went to go hut for monsters when they were looking for the wrong ones. When Sam told me this I felt my heart stop. Paul would be in danger so would Jacob. I hadn't seen Paul in over three weeks.

Every time some on mention him my lungs stopped working and my heart skipped a few beats. I wanted to see him so badly, I want to touch him so badly, and I just wanted to feel his hand intertwined with mine. It's hard to believe we hand yet to do that but I understand we weren't a couple but still friends do that sometimes.

Right?

Finally I couldn't take it I got off the bed Jacob had left for patrol a long time ago and I walked into the kitchen where the smell of food was overwhelming. "Emily?" She turned from the stove with some flour staining her cheek. I smiled and pointed to her cheek. She blushed with a smile and quickly rubbed it off with her apron. "What did you need Sweetie?" I sighed. I missed that. When I was little my mom would call me that. "I-I was just wondering where Paul lived, I need to see him."

I looked down and blushed fifty shades of red and heard the stove being cut off. I looked up to see Emily taking off her apron. "You don't have to…" I was cut off with her hand. "You don't know where it is and I need to get out of the house anyway." She looked at me determined and I smiled. Emil is a wonderful person. She's a motherly type you could tell. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the house. "I'll drop you off and Paul should be there he doesn't have patrol till Friday." I nodded as she opened my door. I blushed and got in as she closed the door behind me. I buckled my seat belt and she quickly got in and started the car without even bothering the seat belt and stomped on the gas. I screamed as we swerved on to the dirt road almost running into an innocent civilian. She stomped on the gas harder and I felt my body involuntarily move upward. She made a hard left turn and I felt my body slam into her seat. She smiled at me apologetically. "WATCH THE ROAD!" I couldn't help but scream; she just giggled and turned her eyes back to the pavement. We took another hard right and I screamed as the car lifted a little off of the ground.

Thankfully we got there alive. I opened the door shakily and got out. I leaned on the door for support and heard a familiar chuckle. I looked up and there in all of his glory was Paul. Beaded of water clung to his bare chest as he casually leaned on his door frame. His hair was sleek and clean water was dripping from his mane as well I looked down and he was wearing basketball shorts that hung low showing off a 'V' that lead to unknown regions of his body that suddenly I was keen on seeing. He looked at me and smirked. "Hey Wenie." I blushed and looked down. "H-Hi Paul."

"Well I should be going you two have fun." I heard Emily slam her car door closed and speed off. I felt a warm hand cup my cheek. I looked up and saw Paul looking intently down at me. Since when did he get that close? He sighed and hugged me to his chest.

"I'm sorry Wen." I blushed and hugged him back. "It's okay Paul." He shook his head. "No it's not I wasn't there to protect you. "

"Paul," He looked down at me and shook his head. "No Wen I should have been there! I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what it was a first and I was still on patrol I should have went by your house."

I blinked back a few tears. "Paul.. I," but again I was cut off. "No don't say it's okay cause you and I know it's not."

"Paul! I freaking love you!"

That shut him up.
