A/N: Alright humans. I am really happy that all of you like Shayla. It is good to know that I am not the only one who likes her. Ayumi92, you were asking about why Jacob and Bella were fighting. It was over the same old thing, her wanting Edward to change her and how Jacob is really the right one for her. Hayden doesn't know all of this stuff yet, so he just saw that he needed to defend Bella. This chapter is a little bit shorter, so I apologize. Anyway…Here we go!
Disclaimer: I am pretty sure that we have gone over this, but I do not own Twilight,
but if I did, Hayden would be a character. I feel like a broken record.
Previously: As we pulled into my winding driveway, I knew something was wrong. I swallowed as we got closer, only to see my entire family standing in the driveway, fury written on their faces.
Shayla looked over at my wincing features, before her eyes flipped back to my livid family. "Welcome to the Cullen house, Shayla."
Chapter 11
"Punishments and Spats"
My hands were turning white as I gripped the steering wheel tightly, and I could feel Shayla's worried eyes gazing at my stony features. Footsteps were nearing my car, so I put it in park, waiting.
There was a light knock on my window before my door was pulled open, and my father knelt down beside me. "Hello Shayla. I need to borrow Hayden for a while and I think it would be best if Alice took you home. Do you mind?" Shayla shook her head slowly, as I reached over to unbuckle my seatbelt.
I whispered, "Call me once you get home, I may not answer my phone, but I will try and call you later."
She nodded, her face pale, so I leaned over kissing her cheek gently. "Bye, Shay."
Carlisle stepped back, allowing me to get out and Alice hurriedly moved into the driver's seat, before she set it in reverse backing out quickly, heading down our driveway. I felt a hand grab my arm sharply, dragging me towards the house. Before I could ask where we were going I was being shoved into a leather chair.
"What in the hell is wrong with you, Hayden Michael! You went to La Push even after Edward told you not too. I don't know how to get this through that thick skull, young man, but you will not go to La Push, or anywhere near La Push, ever again. Do you understand me?"
His voice was dangerously low, and I had never heard him so mad.
I narrowed my eyes, watching him as he angrily paced along the floor of his study, his face watching mine for any sign that I would disobey his wishes.
"I will go where I please! I am not one of you! I don't even want to be one of you! I have no choice! Any other kid could go where he pleased but I am restrained here because of what I was inflicted with when I was born! That is not fucking fair, Carlisle!"
His face was in mine in a flash, his voice still deathly quiet, even though I could see the anger his eyes held. "Watch your tone, Hayden Cullen. I do not care if you weren't given a choice in this matter, you are sixteen years old! As long as you live here, you will obey me. Is that clear?"
My eyes clouded over with anger and hurt. "Crystal."
His eyes continued to hold mine, and I cold feel his cold breath on my face. "Do you know that I was unaware of your disappearing future until Alice saw Bella's disappearing? I have never seen Alice so upset, and when she told me that you could both be in the hands of werewolves, we all came home immediately. You put Shayla in danger when you did this Hayden. You knew that if we heard that your future was gone that we would come home from hunting, and we could have killed Shayla, Hayden! What if Jasper had lost it? He would not be able to live with himself. Do you understand how stupid this decision was?"
I swallowed, and I could feel the tears that were building up in my eyes. I shook my head trying to get rid of the water filled lids, when a few tears escaped. Carlisle's chest was heaving, and since he never had to breathe, this showed me just how angry he was.
Standing slowly, he moved to sit on the edge of his desk, watching me. "Here is what is going to happen, Hayden Michael. Do not interrupt me, do you understand."
I nodded as the tears continued to drip silently down my face.
"First off, you are grounded, until I say so. That means you will stay on our property. You will not leave, unless you are going somewhere with myself or your mother. If I have to, I will take you to work with me, and leave you in my office like I would a child who was too young to stay home by himself."
"Second, once I allow you to leave the property, you will not be allowed to drive your car until we can trust you again. This means that if you want to go somewhere, one of us will have to drive you. If you break this rule, you will not see that car again until your change happens."
"Finally, Shayla will be allowed on our property, but only if someone is home. She can come and go as she pleases, but you will not leave together. I do not think it is fair to punish her because of your mistake. Do you have any questions, young man?"
I shook my head, and my father stood, before turning to leave. He stopped suddenly, pointing a finger at me, "If you break any of these, Hayden Michael Cullen, you will be in so much trouble that this sounds like a slap on the wrist, go it?"
I nodded and remained seated as my father left. Swallowing I looked around the room trying to decide if I should call Shayla now, or wait. I heard the door open, and I looked up to see Edward standing there.
Groaning I stood slowly, wanting to get away from him. "Sit down, Hayden."
He pushed me back into my seat, standing in front of me. "I can't believe that you lied to me. You lost my trust."
I growled, standing up quickly so that my face was in his, but he did not move. "You trusted me? You fucking followed me, Edward that is not trust! You waited for me on the God damn border because you trusted me? You know what? Go to hell, Edward, and leave me alone." I brushed past him, hoping he wouldn't try and come after me because I knew that I wouldn't get very far. I stormed up the stairs to my bedroom, slamming my door loudly, falling onto my bed.
My phone vibrated in my pocket, and I raised my eyebrows when I saw that Shayla was calling. "Hey Shay, that was weird."
I heard her laugh into the phone, "Yeah Alice told me an exact time to call; she said that you would be done getting in trouble by then."
I sighed, "Yeah, Alice is good like that."
Shayla spoke again, "So are you in a lot of trouble?"
"Yeah, I'm grounded until my dad says so, then I lose my car until they can trust me again, and there has to be someone home when you come over."
I could hear the shock in her voice when she made the next statement, "I can come over?"
Chuckling, I ran a hand through my hair, "Yes, love. You can come over. Carlisle doesn't think it is fair to punish you when you didn't know that I wasn't allowed to go."
I heard her giggle into the phone, "Good to know that your dad is trying to be fair. So how mad was he that you were at this party."
Shivering as I thought about how angry his eyes had been, I sighed into the phone, "He was pissed, Shay. I have never seen him so mad. Usually he is the calmest one in the house, and he can control his anger pretty well, but I fucked up. They had to leave their hunting trip early and that could have put you in danger because Jasper is not as controlled as everyone else. I am so sorry, Shayla."
"I wish you weren't in trouble, Hayden, and I wish you were here so that I could comfort you, baby. I am fine, so don't worry about me. Do you think it would be okay for me to drive over now?"
I sighed again, "Probably not tonight, love. I don't want my parents to have a coronary. Tomorrow, I will ask if you can come over. Hopefully they will say yes."
I could practically hear her smile into the phone. "Okay, baby boy. I will talk to you tomorrow, then. Call me and let me know as soon as you find out, okay?"
"Okay. Good night Shayla, sweet dreams."
"Night Hayden, and don't be up all night worrying about this. It is not your fault, so get your butt in bed, mister."
I chuckled, "You got it."
She closed the phone and I stood, flipping mine shut before dropping it on my desk. I toed my shoes off of my feet, before sitting down and pulling off my socks. I stared at the wall thinking about how much I liked being with Shayla tonight. Yawning, I began unbuttoning my shirt, before slipping it off and dropping it on the floor, next to my shoes. I slid out of my pants, and lay down on my bed, closing my eyes, letting sleep overtake me. Tomorrow I would see the girl of my dreams, and tomorrow could not come soon enough.
A/N: Okay, sorry again that this chapter is short as compared to the last two, but I promise that Chapter 12 will be longer. What did you guys think of an angry Carlisle? Do you think that the punishment is too severe? Shayla will be in the next chapter (duh!) and Hayden will get a surprise phone call. Who do you think it will be, and what will they want from him? And remember:

Sneak Peak: Chapter 12
Shayla's tongue slid into my mouth gently, as my hands wrapped around her waist. Her soft fingers slipped underneath my unbuttoned shirt, running up my abs, before she pulled away, sliding my shirt away from my body. My mouth slipped away from hers, and my lips slid down to her ear, sucking gently on the skin below her lobe, wanting to mark her as mine, as her hands slid up an down my bare chest. Once her hands reached my waist band, she slipped the tips of her fingers into my jeans and I groaned. Her soft voice called out to me, "Hayden."
Wait, that isn't her voice…
