starlight5577- YAY FOR CAPS! YEAH, HE DOES FEEL PRETTY BAD ABOUT TELLING HER. HOWEVER, BOYS ARE STUPID SO IN THIS CHAPTER YOU'LL SEE THAT INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON 'STUPID ME I SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER DIFFERENTLY' HE'S MORE LIKE 'MAN I'M PISSED SHE REACTED THE WAY SHE DID. I'M AN AWFUL PERSON.' OH WELL, IT'LL ALL IRON OUT SOON.
Musik Drache- Nope, he doesn't. But that's why he's so loveable right?
Larocho1- She will, don't worry. Haha they won't comment on her appearance but they'll sure comment on her attitude. You'll see that in the next chapter. This one's ALLL Paul.
eeyore-ft-tigger- Haha Thanks for saying my story doesn't sound lame in comparrison to yours. And no, Natasha isn't going to die. I hate killing off the main character, especially when half the story is in their POV haha.
sianybox- I thought about it, but Natasha's really got enough going on in her life. She doesn't need her parents mad at her too haha. Glad you think she'll forgive him. You'll just have to keep reading and see... ;)
Kishasho123- I think she will. Love makes us do silly things like forgive people we're mad at haha. And of course she freaked out, I know I would if the guy I loved changed into a huge, mean wolf right in front of my eyes haha
Adoxography Angelus and Fairy Skull- THANKS for reviewing!!!
PAUL:
Paul was in agony. It had been five days. Five excruciatingly painful days since he had revealed his secret to Natasha. Five awful days of constantly calling her and getting her voicemail.
"Hey guys it's Natasha! I can't answer my phone right now, probably because I'm on the ice, but leave me a message and I'll call ya back as soon as I can!"
He had even tried calling her house but he suspected they had caller ID because it went right to the answering machine every time as well. In response, Paul took to wandering around his house with a beer in his hand. A few members of the pack had randomly tried coming over to lift his spirits but all of them had been unsuccessful. Nothing could be done to get Paul out of his mood, nothing except for Natasha. Paul knew that was expecting a miracle.
"Come on dude, it's been five days," Embry had said that morning. He and Quil sat on the couch watching as Paul slowly drank his fourth beer as he flipped through the channels on the TV, not even registering what was on.
"Let's go for a run or something," Quil added but Paul made a disagreeing noise.
"Paul you've gotta get out of here," Embry stated as he and Quil glanced at each other. "It's really not good for you to be stuck in here."
"Yeah, we can go for a run or a drive. Cliff diving usually clears your head." Paul glared at both of them.
"I don't want to clear my head. I want to keep replaying it in my head. I want to keep seeing her horrorstruck face as she ran for her car as fast as she could. I'm a monster," he said as he put his head in his hands. Quil stood up and went into the kitchen, pulling out his phone as he went.
"Paul dude, it's going to be okay," Embry stated as he stood up and walked over to crouch in front of Paul. "Yeah it may not have been the best way or time to tell her, but she's your imprint. She's drawn to you as much as you're drawn to her. She'll have to come around eventually."
"But what if she doesn't?" Paul asked as he stood up. Embry shrugged.
"She will," he said as if it was an easy answer.
"But what if she doesn't!?" Paul exclaimed as he began to shake. Quil walked back into the room at the loud noise and both guys watched as Paul took off out the door, phasing before he was all the way outside.
"Better go after him," Quil said and both boys pulled off their clothes as they ran after their friend.
Paul ran through the woods at full speed, trying to keep his mind empty as he waited for the inevitable phases of the rest of the pack.
Paul don't be stupid he heard Jacob's voice as he ran. Sighing, he tried to keep all thought of Natasha out of his mind.
Not possible when you're thinking about keeping her out of your mind Embry added with a wolf laugh. Paul groaned as he eventually came to a stop, plopping down to sit by a tree. This was too much for him to handle. Even death looked better at this point.
NO! came Sam's alpha voice, strong and demanding. Paul sighed, wishing he hadn't thought that while he was a wolf. You need to stop pouting and fix this. She's your imprint, you can't be like this forever, Sam told him and Paul looked up to see Sam walk into the clearing, his black figure towering above him.
What am I supposed to do then? She won't answer my phone calls, she won't talk to me, Paul told him, voice full with defeat. I tried going to the ice rink, they must have changed their skating time because she wasn't there. I've tried calling her house and her dad answered the first time and told me to leave her alone. Since then no one's answered. If I show up at her house, they'll probably have me arrested, he sighed and collapsed on his stomach, resting his head on his paws.
If you show up they'll call the police. What if someone else showed up? came Jared's voice. Paul didn't know when Jared had come into the conversation, not that he cared much anyway.
What do you mean? Sam asked Jared.
Well Kim and Natasha got pretty close at the football game last week, before this all happened. Kim's gone through exactly what Natasha's going through right now. What if Kim went to see Natasha and talked to her about it? It might make things a little better and maybe Natasha would understand it and accept it more.
Sam paused in thought for a moment, taking in all that Jared had said and turning it around in his head. Finally he nodded, looking in the direction Jared located.
That's a good idea. Go call Kim and see if she'll do it. Paul, get up off your ass and get back to your house. We don't know what Natasha will do after she talks to Kim so your best bet would be to look presentable and make your house presentable, just in case she shows up to talk to you, Sam spoke it all in his alpha voice, making it impossible for Paul to disobey. Sighing in defeat, he stood up and turned to head back to his house.
Jared, make sure Kim doesn't scare Natasha even more, he said as he ran.
You just worry about taking care of yourself. Kim's a pro at stuff like this, Jared replied before his mind disappeared from the link, meaning he had phased back to his human form.
When he got back to his house, Paul phased before heading inside to find clean clothes. After he was dressed, he took a look around his room. There were chip bags, old coke cans, beer bottles, dirty plates, napkins, and random unfinished pizza crusts and chicken legs spread around. He had a lot ahead of him.
As he cleaned, he thought over what was happening. He had to admit he was a little pissed that Kim would be the one to talk to Natasha. He was really only pissed because he was jealous but he wasn't about to admit that to anyone. He wanted to be the one to make Natasha accept it, to take her in his arms as she accepted him.
Kim would make it better though, that he knew. She was one of those people who could fix almost everything. Jared was lucky to have her as his imprint. Paul was sure she could solve almost any problem; she kept a cool head in tough situations. He could just see it now, Kim sitting Natasha down and having a girl-to-girl talk about their werewolf boyfriends. If anyone could fix this whole mess, Kim could.
"Paul?" Jared's voice startled him and he almost dropped a plate. He hadn't heard his friend walk in the door.
"Back here!" he called from his room as he continued to pick up the trash on the floor.
"Wow, it's a warzone in here," Jared said as he walked in and Paul threw him a look. "Sorry. Listen, I talked to Kim and she's in. She just needs Natasha's address and she'll go over there this afternoon. She also promised she'll fix this whole mess you made," Paul glared at Jared but his face relaxed when he realized Jared was smirking.
"Thanks man," Paul said as he walked past Jared to take the plates and trash to the kitchen. "And thank Kim for me too. This means a lot to me."
"Yeah I know. You owe us," Jared said and Paul nodded. "So yeah, just the address and then I'll leave you to your cleaning."
Paul wrote out Natasha's address, even writing some simple directions, before handing the paper to Jared and pulling off his shirt.
"I'm going for a run. Have someone phase to tell me what happens with Kim and Natasha. I just can't stand to be cooped up in here waiting to hear something. I'll stay close so the connection doesn't break," he said and Jared nodded.
"Okay. I'll phase as soon as I hear from Kim and let you know what's going on," he said and Paul nodded before heading out the door, tossing his shorts behind him. "At least he took his clothes off this time," Jared said under his breath before grabbing the directions and his keys and heading out the door to take the directions to Kim. The sooner this was fixed, the better.
Yeah, I know this chapter was shorter than usual but it was really just a filler-esque thing. What really matters in this situation is what Natasha's feeling. I just wanted to put down a little bit of what Paul's going through before switching back to her.
You all know what to do! Read and then press that little button down there V. I'd really appreciate it!!!!!! Thanks guys!!!!!!
