Thanks to the brilliant Wicked Winter, who Beta this chapter! And Sorry, this might be the last chapter until after Christmas =[
Paul's POV
When I woke, I jumped with a painful scream, but I was already heal, but that had made no sense to me cause I knew I should have had at least some pain. Even for us, it took hours for bones to heal. The scream was from where I saw Bella looking at me with blood caked on her face .
"Have you fallen in love with the wrong person yet, Paul Stoner?" Bella asked me. Her eyes were looking at the bed and her hand was in mine.
"Why on earth would you ask me that Bella?" I asked her looking at the side of her face. A single tear escape from her left eye.
"You left. It must have been easy though. Cause as I said before, you think this imprinting was a mistake. I can tell by the way you been acting around me. You fallen in love with the wrong person."
"Isabella," I said to her with the most passion I could in my voice. "Not once." But then something hit me. "How do you know about that, the imprinting?" She let out a laugh.
"I'm not stupid," She told me. "I knew something was wrong with the pull I was feeling toward you." Jacob had been right. She had hid it. "Then after I woke in the hospital I had a dream of when I was little and Charlie telling Jacob and me the story about imprinting was."
"You hid it. The feeling didn't you?" I asked her. She nodded and wiped at her eyes. "Why?" I asked. She huffed and pulled her hand way from mine and stood, but fell back down and over my legs. What the hell happened to her?
She kept talking like nothing had happened. But this time she was talking to my legs. I wished I could lift her up and hold her, but I had no idea how bad she was hurt and I wasn't about to hurt her anymore.
"I was scared, just like I am now. I trusted you, Paul. But you broke it the moment you became a chicken and left me. How can I know for sure you won't pick up and leave again the minute things don't go your way?" She pushed again my legs and lifted herself up, but she didn't try to stand again.
"I can't leave you again, Bella. Not now, not unless you told me I had to." I told her and reached out and brushed my fingers against her dirty skin. "What happened to you?" I asked her.
"You did. I went looking for you, but being the hopeless blind handicap person I am I got lost. I had heard some close by but at first it didn't bother me. Until they knew my name and said they knew where you were and if I didn't come with them you would be hurt." Another tear rushed down her face. I grabbed her had with the hand I had used to brush her face.
"You don't have to keep going," It was hurting her to relive it.
"No matter how much you had hurt me in the past two weeks I wasn't about know that I hurt you so I agreed." I would never get over the fact that I had left her. Never again. "The person told me that his name was Karsen and if I was good I wouldn't get hurt. I guess he already knew that I was blind because he grabbed my hand and told me he didn't want me hitting a tree." I looked down to see her rubbing her left hand. It had blood all over it.
"Before I knew it he stopped and turned toward me." She let out a laugh. "I asked if we were there yet and he let out a laugh. He had said 'no, and we're never going to get to him'" Another tear rolled down. "You can either be drained or thrown from a mountain your pick. That when I knew something was off and that I was going to die. I picked mountain, although my worst fear is to fall to my death. But I knew death would be better than this."
"When we got there I got lucky cause so was Jacob and Sam. Jacob told him to let me. It was all in vain. The guy picked me up and the next thing I knew I was flying. I never though I would fall, but when I did least Sam was there to take the blow of my body. But not enough. My leg got twisted and my face hit the ground. I knew I was bleeding right away by the smell. I thought I had died for a minute there until I felt something licked me. I screamed and tried to push it away, but it was strong and held me down with a paw. Next thing I knew, Jacob and Sam was telling me the full stories about what you are."
And here she sat, beside me not scared of me, but scared to lose me. She sure wasn't what I first thought she was.
"I would have understood you know. I might not have believed it at first, but then again you'll never know because you left it up to my brother and Sam to tell me.." She was getting angry again. I pushed her off me and got up. "Bella, please believe me when I say I thought leaving was the best for the both of us."
"Lies. You were just chicken. I'm not stupid Paul. Maybe you didn't know you were chicken, but you rather face the pain then the truth. And you know what? I paid the price." She tried to stand again, but fell. I grabbed her before she could hit the bed. I helped her this time. For the first time I saw how bad her leg was.
"Bella, please believe me." I stared, but she rolled her eyes. I laughed. "Where did you learn to do that?" She smiled, but it was to pain to see her do it because I knew it was fake. She never did answer me.
"Paul you have to gain my trust. I'm not going to just give it out again. I'm not a base-ball game." I nodded, but then remember she couldn't see it.
"Well I guess there something I can start with." I told her.
"What?" She asked me. "I stole something at the hospital and I guess I shouldn't have. Not with out asking first at least."
"What's that?" She asked me again. "Can I give it back to you?" She nodded and I lean in and kissed her lips again to return the kiss I had stolen from it two weeks ago.
Review! That can be your gift to me. My gift to you is this lovely chapter, which by the way might be my favorite. Oh and just you know. I hated the way Bella acted in New moon where she forgive Edward right away. I'm not going to do that n this story. Nope, Paul going have to sweat it out.
Paul; Wait what why!
Me; you left her.
Paul; YOU WROTE IT!!!
