Last chapter

"Because, he didn't even know why. He just got so mad and pissed off at them returning. And then he said something similar to what you said." He gave a small laugh, his eyes shining brightly in the dark. He noticed me staring and his look became more soft and gentle. He leaned down as I reached up so that our lips met. He pulled me closer as the kiss became deeper. Just as I opened my mouth, a voice came out of the woods, scaring me to death.

Chapter 11 (Paul POV)

I watched Jake and Bella on the porch. I couldn't believe that she could be so forgiving. I gave her scars that would be there forever. Now she had warm scars to go with the cold scar on her hand. I remember Jacob telling us or rather thinking of it on one of our scouting trips.

Sam came up by my side. Of course she's forgiving; she thinks everything is her fault. You would have loved her being so cold to the doctor today. It surprised me. I thought she would forgive them too, but she completely ignored the leech. I thought Jacob's grin couldn't get any bigger. We laughed as Sam pictured it in his mind, Jake holding Bella while walking away from the doctor. His grin was the largest I had ever seen. Go talk to her, she's probably thinking that you still hate her.

And with that, I changed form and got into some jeans that Sam brought and walked towards them. I guess I could have waited until they were done kissing, but it looked like a lot more would be going on. So, I decided to interrupt before Bella had to go inside.

"Nice night, huh? I bet you two were just enjoying the stars, weren't you?" I asked, watching Bella's face go red as she hid her face against Jacob. Jacob gave me a look that said I'll get you back for this.

"Well, I think I'll just leave you two alone. See ya tomorrow, Bells" Jake gave her a quick kiss and left. But I knew he would be watching from the woods. Just as Sam was.

"So, --" I didn't get very far when Bella hugged me and told me everything was fine.

"I don't blame you, Paul. You just did what's in your nature to do. Anyways, I'm fine." Bella said with sincerity in her voice.

"But Bella, you'll have those scars forever." I touched the one along her jaw. "Bella, how could you forgive me so easily?"

"Paul, I have so many scars, what'll be a few more?" She paused, thinking quickly, her face calculating, "You know what, promise me one thing if you think I'm forgiving you too easily." I nodded, waiting for her to go on. "You have to learn self control so that your emotions won't get the better of you."

I stared at her. "Bella, you know, that's pretty hard to do… But I'll do it. I know I have the worst control out of the pack. This could be good for me. I won't change every time I smell a leech."

"See! This was a good thing!" She exclaimed, all excited.

"Bella, how is this a 'good thing'? You getting hurt are not good. I don't see how you're all happy about this!"

She turned to look at me. Her expression solemn. "Paul, what if it was someone else and something even worse happened. I'm lucky that I got a few scars instead of being ripped to shreds. You could have killed someone."

She had thought of everything. I couldn't argue with her anymore. "Alright," I pulled out my hand. "Deal." And with that we shook hands. I would start lessons tomorrow with Sam.

As I was getting off the porch to say bye, Charlie came out looking at me then Bella. I was wondering if he thought it was weird that Jake was here when he saw her last, not me. "Well, hope you get feeling better, Bella. Bye Charlie." And with that I left. Not knowing that Charlie had heard everything that was said that night.

Charlie's an eavesdropper!! Tsk, tsk, tsk.
