Chapter 12

Raine's P.O.V.

Thank you, Jesus, for cell phones! I swear I was going to permanently stay red because of Paul's teasing. I think he secretly likes seeing me embarrassed.

Anyway, my phone rang and Kim answered, wanting to know if Sadie and I wanted to go to her house after school tomorrow before the dance. I told her, in a sad voice, that Sadie probably couldn't go because of her concussion. Kim, being the great friend she is, understood completely and said I didn't have to go, but I told her it was okay and that I would most definitely make it. I told Paul, who listened quite well, and he invited me to a bonfire on Sunday. I wanted to ask if it was a date but I let it go. We were already at my house.

"Sure. I'd l-love to, Paul," I replied with a smile. My speech was better but it still needed work. Paul stepped forward and kissed me softly. I still get butterflies when he does that. He pulled away but I guess he was just taking a break because he kissed me again, but with more passion.

I did my stupid squeak thing that I do when I'm surprised but I guess he didn't mind. His hand started to roam under my shirt again-I think he enjoys that-and traveled to my back, caressing it softly. Then, I did the most horrid thing one could do during a make out session.

I moaned. Very loud and provocatively.

I froze and Paul pulled back as if recognizing my embarrassing mistake. I covered my mouth in shame, but I had to convey to Paul that I wasn't a, well, a Scarlet.

"I-I didn't mean to- I mean... I'M NOT A SLUT!" I explained, though very childishly. Paul gave me that adorable confused puppy look along with a concerned one.

"Of course you're not. Where did you get that from?" Paul asked.

"No where. I-I just... I was loud."

"That doesn't mean you're a slut. You're beautiful and amazing and fantastic and lovely and wonderful and gorgeous and out-standing and other adjectives that describe you. But you are not a slut."

I couldn't help but smile at his confession. He was the sweetest, kindest, most loving and caring boyfriend a girl could have. To reward him, I kissed his cheek and thanked him. He hugged me one last time then we said good night and I walked inside with that tugging feeling that I got whenever I walked away from Paul. It was like a resisting child begging for the latest toy for Christmas, except the resistance was begging me to stay with Paul.

I walked upstairs to my room to finish up my homework and get ready for bed. Going to my closet, I eyed my costume in fear. It was very inappropriate but it was just a costume I guess. At least it wasn't my uniform or anything. I would most likely die of embarrassment.

That night, I had no dreams. It was strange. I did have this lingering feeling of something watching me. It creeped me out.

I woke up extra early so that I could get ready with my costume. My mom nearly fainted when she saw my outfit and Daddy, well, it was a good thing Paul wasn't there. Mom eventually agreed to my costume and convinced Daddy to agree as well. Mom told me to keep the cloak on at all times and don't be alone with Paul in any room. I didn't mention that we would be alone in the car this morning. Walking into the kitchen, I saw Ryan sneaking in. Where did he go?

"Ryan?" I asked. He froze. He turned slowly towards me. His hair was tousled with leaves and twigs in it, there were patches of dirt on him, and the weird thing was, he was shirtless in this 50° weather.

"Hey, RaineDrop. Whatcha doin' up so early?" He asked nonchalantly.

"W-Where did you just come from?"

"Um, just takin' a stroll. Couldn't sleep so I walked around a bit. No big deal," Ryan said, heading towards the stairs. Something was mighty fishy with him.

"Oh, I see. Well, g-goodnight then."

"Night, Sis." He just about sprinted up the stairs. What a peculiar brother I have. I made myself some cereal and Sadie waffles, because she loves waffles, when Paul called. I could already feel my blush forming.

"Hello?" I answered. I heard wind blowing and the sound of his truck's engine in the back round. I'm positive he was speeding.

"I'm so sorry I'm late! I'll be there in 2minutes or less. Promise," Paul rushed out. It made me jump slightly. I looked over at the microwave clock, surprised when I saw he was about 10minutes later than usual.

"It's o-okay, Paul. You aren't that late," I told him.

"Late is late, babe. I'm almost there, 'kay?"

"Okay. L-Love you," I said quietly. I was still shy about saying that so casually. Sadie, who I didn't hear come downstairs, was drowning her waffles that I made her in syrup. I shook my head at her while she smiled.

"I love you, baby. More than you know." I smiled bashfully (AN: Eh? Get it? Its in the… nevermind). He always says things that make me blush. When I saw his car pull up, I grabbed my backpack and headed towards the door.

"Bye, Sadie!" I said to my hungry best friend. She gave a wave of her fork because of the waffle stuffed in her mouth.

I opened the door to Paul standing right there, making me jump back… and stare in awe. Why, oh why, did Paul Marez have to be so darn attractive in lumberjack attire? I think he was purposefully trying to cease my existence. I vaguely heard say something to me but I was still staring at his abdominals and pectorals... and maybe the biceps. I felt a finger come up under my chin and close my mouth. How embarrassing! I blushed even harder.

"Uh, I, I like y-your costume, Paul. It's very... fi-fitting," I said like an incompetent idiot. Paul gave me that devilish smirk of his and pulled me, by the hips, to him. My hands automatically placed themselves on his biceps. I really like his biceps.

He leaned down to whisper into my ear. "Not as much as your costume is fitting you. Yours shows all your sensual curves, teasing me, begging me to reach out and touch them," He whispered, breathily into my ear. This sent shivers down my spine. I had to get away. Making an escape, I quickly high-tailed it to his truck.

"L-Let's hurry. Don't waaaant to be late!" I squeaked. I heard his chuckle but dared not stop to look back. On the way there was absolute torture. Paul kept trying to touch me so I would look into his sinfully lust filled eyes. My face was permanently hot.

When we reached school, I catapulted myself out, not waiting for Paul to catch up. That's when a girl I didn't recognize came to me asking for directions to Mr. Ashton's classroom. She all of a sudden stopped talking and looked at something behind me, most likely Paul. I turned my head to smile at him to reassure her that he wasn't bad.

"Baby, who's this?" He asked me. At least he was no longer aroused.

"Um, well, sh-she's new and waaanted to know where Mi-Mister Ashoton's classroom was."

"Aww, that's sweet of you to help someone in need," Paul told me, hugging me from behind. We found out that her name was Melanie and I invited her to sit with us at lunchtime. She was really nice.

When Melanie went off to her class, Paul and I went to the cafeteria to find Jared and Kim as Aladdin and Jasmine. They were a cute pair.

Lunch came by fast and Paul, Melanie, and I were deciding where to sit.

"Who are going to befriend next, babe?" Paul asked. Huh, very good question.

"I don't know, P-Paul. How about... oh! H-How about them?" I pointed to a table of kids wearing a lot of dark colors and piercings. Self expression is seemed to be their motto. I went over to introduce us.

"H-Hello! I'm Raine. This is m-my boyfriend, Paul, aaand my n-new friend, Melanie. Could w-we sit here, per-perhaps?" I asked smiling.

"Why do you talk like that?" One boy from the table asked. Just when I thought my speech was getting better… I felt Paul shaking behind me and knew he didn't appreciate that comment. All of a sudden, that boy was hit in the back of his head by a girl at the table.

"Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? She's an upperclassman. She could get her jock boyfriend over here to beat the shit outta you," she said fiercely. I would never do such a thing!

"Sorry. Damn," the boy said. I didn't know them enough to charge them for their language. The girl smiled at me.

"Don't listen to him. You talk fine. Of course you can sit here, although it's rare for anyone, let alone a senior, to sit with us Goths at lunch."

"Well, there's a fiiirst for everything, r-right Paul?" I asked sitting down. Yay, I made more friends.

"I'm Mika, by the way. Nice to meet you, Raine," she said shaking my hand.

I asked if she or anyone of her friends were going to the dance. They said it wasn't their thing. Then I asked what their thing was. Never ask them that. They argued over which show, Regular Show or Adventure Time, was better. It wasn't pretty. I held onto Paul the whole time.

"Fuck you, Brian!"

"I fucked your mom last night! Ask her how it feels!"

"I did! She said it was the worst 15seconds of her life!"

I'm pretty sure their mothers didn't know about this.

The rest of the day past and before I knew it, Kim and Melanie were doing my hair and make-up at Kim's house. They gave me this bra that makes the breasts look a cup size bigger. They promptly threw my other bra away.

When we got to the dance, it was loud and sounded like everyone was having lots of fun. Was it this fun last year?

"Raine, there is no way you're staying a virgin tonight. Paul won't allow it, girly," Kim told me, making me blush but roll my eyes at her. Paul would never take advantage like that. "Oh crap."

I turned to where she was looking and instantly became happy. Paul was here!

"Hey, angel. Ready to dance?" He asked, taking me inside to the dance floor.

"Yeah. Let's go."

I thought I was ready this year, ready to dance like everyone else, but when I looked at the crowd, it seemed that the dancing was more aggressive. Then I realized I wasn't ready. At all.

Paul sat with me over in the 'scared-little-girls-who-can't-man-up' section of the dance. I felt bad that I was keeping him from having fun.

"Paul? A-Are you mad?" I asked. I didn't except him to hear over the music.

"No, babe, why would I be?" Paul asked. Of course he heard me, he is Paul.

"I'm not d-dancing with you right now and I-I know how much you wanted to," I said. Paul turned my face towards his.

"Do you want me to want to?" I smiled and started to pull him to the dance floor. This burst of courage came out of no where but I was happy I got it.

He guided me through the crowd and started to dance with me. I found Kim grinding with Jared but her back was to him. She was bent over and smiling at me, telling me to do the same and mouthed "be confident". I nodded to her and she gave me a thumbs-up. Okay, I can do this. For Paul!

I turned and copied Kim's actions. I guessed I shocked Paul because his movements faltered a little. I turned my head to him and smiled happily when I saw that flustered him. I flustered PAUL!

"A-Am I doing good, Paul?" I asked. I felt something hard against me. I knew what it was this time. That was Paul's penis.

"Yeah, baby, you're doing great," He said, pulling me back to him. My back was to his chest with hands roaming my stomach and hips. He started kissing my neck and I squeaked.

My breathing became labored because of how intense this was. Heart beating so loud I'm surprised Paul didn't hear, but at the same time I could feel his heart beating on my back. I saw Kim wrap her arms around Jared's heck and I decided to do the same, only, once I touched his ear, he took me away from the dance floor to the hallway. Oh no, did I anger him? Did I go too far? Dang it, Kim!

Once we rode it to the hallway, he pushed me against the wall with a predatory look in his eyes.

"Eeep!" I managed out before Paul's lips devoured mine. I placed my hands against his chest for leverage while he wrapped my legs around his waist. He grinded hips against mine, making me feel hot in my stomach. It was like a burning feeling that Paul alleviated but at the same time made worse. I tried to cover my stupid moans but Paul didn't let me.

"P-Paul wa-mmph!" He, again, claimed my mouth, making me somewhat dizzy with pleasure. Fantastic, I'm starting to think like Sadie. I finally forced him to let me talk because I had a feeling to where this was leading.

"Paul, I refuse to let you have sexual intercourse in the school hallway!" I blurted, completely stutter free. This shocked Paul and me. He still was pressed against me rather intimately.

"I wasn't... planning on doing that, babe," he said. He let me slide down between him and the wall but I think I hurt him because he hissed when I brushed past his... uh, privates.

"Oh. It just seemed l-like you were. I'm sorry," I told him, shamefully. He smiled softly and kissed my cheek.

"Don't be sorry. I pushed you too far. I should've controlled myself... but what I want to know is," he leaned his forehead against mine and stared deep into my eyes." What possessed you to dance like that?"

I swallowed hard. Darn you, Kim! You never informed me of the consequences of these actions! I didn't want to tattle on her but I couldn't lie. "Kim," I said.

A look of understanding then exasperation crossed his face. "Of course, it would be Kim," he sighed then backed away from me. I instantly grabbed his hand. I didn't want him to back away from me.

"No. P-Please stay. I woon't dance like that anymore... i-if you want," I suggested. Paul smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay, angel. We've only been here 5minutes. We have the rest of the night to dance. Until then, you wanna just chill?"

"Okay,"I said, as we walked back into the gym to the dance. I sat down at a table while Paul went to go get us something to snack on and drink. That's when Melanie came over.

"Hey! Why aren't you dancing? You can't be tired already," she said sitting next to me.

"P-Paul and I are going tooo just chill," I said to her. She raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't look like you wanted to 'just chill' 2minutes ago. You guys looked about ready to strip naked and have crazy, hot, passionate sex right then and there."

I blushed at that comment. Was I really that sensual?

"W-Whatever. What about yooou? Are you having fun?" I asked changing the subject. Melanie looked away with a smile.

"Yeah. Especially with that freshman over there," she said pointing out Seth whose dance moves were pretty good if he were at a ballroom dance.

"You m-mean Seth?"

"Yeah. He's so fun and silly but a gentleman. So far, most of the other boys have either groped me, pulled me into a grind train, or down right try to take my clothes off. It's really annoying."

"Really? You should t-tell one of the chaperones. Theeey can handle it,"I suggested. She raised her eyebrow.

"They can handle the treatment that I'm getting from these boys?" My eyes widened.

"No! I-I meant that theey could st-stop those guys!" She started laughing.

"Calm down, I was just kidding. I knew what you meant. Oh, here comes Paul and that's my cue to leave. See ya, Raine. Nice talk." And with that, she skipped over to Seth and started doing the Macarena. I smiled.

"Here you go, babe. They mostly just had sweets so I got you a cup of everything. M&M's, with and with out nuts, Skittles, Starburst..." He listed off the little cups of candy. I started think about how far we came as a couple in as little as a week and wondered... why the sudden interest? He went from this scary, temper-mental jock who really didn't talk to me at all. Then, he goes and turns his whole attitude and suddenly declares his hidden love for me. It just seemed a little odd, not that I wasn't happy with him. I was ecstatic!

"Paul? When did y-you find out that you liked me?" I asked suddenly, cutting him off. He froze and looked confused.

"What do you mean, Raine?" He asked. He called me by my name... Something isn't right.

"W-What I mean is whaaat event led you t-to believe that you had feelings f-for me? Was it something th-that I did?"

"Um, well," he grabbed a chair and sat in front of me,"I just... woke up one day and... I looked at you and realized that... What brought this question, Raine?"

"It's just that... u-um... Never mind, just fooorget I asked that," I said. I turned to watch the dance but Paul handle my hand to get my attention.

"No, tell me why. Did someone say something to you?" He asked fiercely. I looked down.

"Nothing. J-Just drop it."

"Raine, don't-"

"Paul, please." I all of sudden felt more angry than I've ever felt before. Paul must have noticed because he retreated his hand. I instantly felt guilty but my anger wouldn't let me show it. This unfamiliar emotion scared me but excited me at the same. I thought I wasn't capable of being mad at anything let alone a person. I saw Paul's hands ball up into fists and start to shake. Oh no! Did I make him mad?

I looked up at him but he was looking down and breathing hard. He looked about ready to kill. I hesitantly grabbed his hand and with out looking at him, took him outside. I saw Kim and Jared look concerned at us but I ignored them. I know, how rude of me! I mad a little mental note to bake them apology cookies later. Once we made it outside, I turned to make sure he was okay.

He now looked sad, or ashamed maybe.

"Are you okay n-now, Paul?" I asked him. He sighed then nodded. He was lying. "Paul, you're lying."

He looked up at me, surprised. I touched his cheek and looked straight into his beautiful brown eyes. "T-Tell me what's wrong."

"I upset you, that's what. I'm acting like a A-hole boyfriend who can't even answer a simple question about why I love you," He told me, frustratedly. I smiled.

"That's just it. I-I know you love me buuut when did you decide this? W-Was it a secret? Diiid you not know how t-to tell me? Was it a spur of the moment-"

"It wasn't a spur of the moment! This isn't a random thing! We're meant to be! Don't you dare think that this was a random thing for me!" He said this grabbing me by my hips and pulling me to him. He looked me straight in the eye.

"O-Okay," I said quietly. He dropped his head onto my shoulder.

"I made you upset again."

"No, it's okay. I un-understand." My hand went to his hair and stroked it. He sighed peacefully.

"I promise, Raine, I'll tell you everything soon. I have things I just can't tell you right now but you'll know soon. You actually already know but you just don't know it. You're a smart girl, you'll probably figure it out. If you do, just promise to come talk to me first. Don't be scared to come to me and tell me what's on your mind. Okay?" What was he talking about? Was it something bad?

"Paul, what-"

"Just promise me. Please, angel." He sounded desperate. It broke my heart. My poor Paul.

"Okay. I promise," I said. I started to shiver from the cold night breeze. Paul instantly hugged me tighter.

"Do you wanna go back inside?" He asked. "Wow, what a stupid question. You're clearly shivering to death and my dumbass is asking-"

"3dollars." He looked down at me. "Although, I c-can make an acceptation. Yoou did manage to avoid u-using the a-word the first time. $2.25."

He just smiled and kissed my face all over. Sometimes he could be such a big puppy.

After the dance was over, Paul offered to take me home. Melanie got picked up by her mom so she was taken care of. Embry and Cindy... I actually had no idea where they were located.

"Babe?" Paul asked.

"Yes?"

"Why don't you have a car?"

"It's g-going to be my graaduation present... Do you n-not like to drive meee around? I understand if you d-don't."

"No! I love driving you around! I was just curious, I swear," Paul said with his eyes wide.

"Okay... Paul? C-Can I meet your grandmother?"

Paul's P.O.V.

My grandmother?

"Babe, she's gone. You can't meet her," I explained. My heart sank hearing those words come from my mouth. She was really gone.

"Yes I can. I-I could go see heeer grave," She answered with a smile. Damn that beautiful smile of hers.

"You would do that?"

"Yeah. I want t-to meet her."

"Okay then. Name the date and time."

"How a-about tomorrow at 4:00?"

"Perfect," I replied, not bothering to check with Sam on whether or not I had to patrol at the time.

As I drove up to her house, I started smelling a change in her scent. It was weird. Usually her scent was fruity but it was changing to a... I couldn't really explain it. Almost like a dark, warm scent, like a black coffee or a dark chocolate and... sort of, pheremone-y. Not that I can smell them like an actual dog... could I?

I saw her start to hold her stomach discreetly.

"Are you okay, angel?" I asked. She took her hand from her stomach and smiled at me.

"Yeah. Of course," she replied. She opened the car door and got out. I walked to meet her and walk her to the front door. "Thank you f-for taking me to thee dance. I had fun."

"Glad you enjoyed it, babe," I replied, grasping her hand and pulling her closer to me. I wrapped my arms around her waist, making sure she secure in my arms. A make-out session was on its way and I couldn't have my angel escaping me, now could I?

I leaned down to capture her lips with mine. Raine has gotten so much better from when she was shy about kissing me to boldly kissing me with confidence. She ran her fingers through my hair and caressed my neck. Damn, she is just full a surprises tonight isn't she? I deepened the kiss, backing her up against the front of her house. I started sliding my hands up and down her body. Just when I started slide my hands under her shirt, I heard the distinct foot steps of Raine's father.

Grudgingly, I pulled away from a dazed Raine when father dearest opened the door.

"Paul, good seeing you, son. How was the dance?" He asked even though I had a feeling that he just wanted his daughter in the house instead of her cup-caking with me.

"It was cool. Music was okay, food was alright. Me and Raine had a nice time," I answered.

"Raine and I, Paul." Raine told me. She just had to correct my grammar. Future teacher... ooh, naughty student-teacher fantasy.

"I'm sorry, angel. Raine and I had a nice time." I smiled at her, making her emit a beautiful giggle.

"Well that's good. Make sure to say hi to your mom for me. Haven't seen her in a while," He said opening the door wider for Raine to come in.

"You got it, sir. See you Sunday, Raine. Bye, Mr. Waters... Bye, Mrs. Waters," I said, seeing River come up behind Raine's dad with a wide knowing smile. The woman was strange.

"Bye, Paul! And I told you to call me River!" She replied. Raine turned and gave me a dazzling smile and a wave. "What, no goodnight kiss for your man? Raine, that's rude."

"Mom!"Raine exclaimed, a blush dusting her cheeks with her dad exclaiming "River!" at the same time.

I chuckled as Raine's father closed the door and proceeded to scold River for her behavior. I drove home quickly so I could get ready for patrol.

"Hey mom. Mr. Waters says hi. He hasn't seen you in a while," I told her from my room. I was changing out of my costume (AN: -drool- mm mm mmm!). I grabbed some shorts and a cord to wrap around my leg when I phased.

"Is that so? Huh, it has been awhile," my mom mused. I walked out the door and into the forest. Jared was outside waiting as a wolf looking expectantly at me. I phased to see what was up.

When are you gonna tell her, Paul? Jared asked.

Tell who what? I asked back.

Tell Raine what you are, man. Have you thought about it lately?

Well, shit, yeah I've thought about it. I just don't know when I should, I replied.

Scared to tell her?

Terrified the fuck out of my mind.

Just do what I did.

Tell Raine that I'm a werewolf during a heavy make-out session?

...When you say it like that it just seems so immature.

That's because it is, Jare Bear.

Call me Jare Bear again and you'll find yourself advice-less, Jared threatened.

Okay, okay! Just tell me what to do!

Okay. Raine's a smart girl. You're bringing to the bonfire, right?

Yeah.

She'll probably ask you questions and all you do is answer honestly.

What if she wants proof?

Give her proof.

What if I scare her away and she ends up like she was before? Thinking I'll hurt her. I thought of her face stained with fearful tears. It tore at my very being.

Paul, she'll never think that. She trusts you. I know you want to protect her, but there are just some things that she has to face like a big girl. She'll be okay. If by some freak chance she is scared shitless and won't talk to you, Kim and Emily have your back.

This was why Jared was my best friend. He had a way of telling you what you had to hear in a way you wanted to hear. No sugar-coated shit. Just honesty.

Thanks, Jared.

No problem, bro. Just don't start crying on me.

...You're an asshole, Jare Bear.

(Still Paul's P.O.V.)

After patrol, I went to Raine's house to check up on her. I still couldn't figure out why Raine smelled so different. When I arrived, I saw that she was sleeping peacefully, softly snoring. Her window was also open, making it easy for some robber or worst, some bloodsucker, to just casually climb through like its nothing. I'm gonna have to talk to her about that... without sounding like some creep who stalks girls at night by watching them through the window.

God, she smells so good! Why does she smell so good even more than usual? I thought.

Just then I heard Raine groan in what seemed to be pain. I just about shit myself in fear that she was in danger. I really flipped out when I detected blood. Just when I was about to go and burst though her window, something inside of me stirred. It was like some sort of yearning or compulsion. Something about Raine's new scent was bringing something primal out of me, something frightening even for me. I felt the urge to growl and whimper at the same time, howl and stay completely silent. What's wrong with me?

I turned and ran towards my house and away from my angel. I didn't know what that was, but I didn't want to feel that again. Once I got home, I showered and got ready to crash. Mom was already knocked out cold after watching her soap opera. My dreams that night were even scarier than my out of nowhere emotions.

I was watching myself talk with Raine. She looked so beautiful in her simple white cotton dress. So pure and lovely, unlike my dumbass self sitting there looking like a undesireable. I mean, shit, does my nose really look like that? Why did I pick that hair style?

"What are you talking about, Paul?" Raine questioned.

I jumped, thinking she could hear my thoughts. Could she?

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. You belong to me and you will do as I say," the other me said, being a complete jackass. I would never say anything like that!

"What's wrong with you?" Raine fearfully asked.

"I'm perfectly fine. I've just recently woke up and realized that I've let you be unclaimed for too long. That will change."

"Hey, asshole! Stay the fuck away from Raine!" I shouted as I attempted to walk over and beat my douche self's ass... but I couldn't move.

Raine backed away from the sick fuck with frightened eyes.

"Run, Raine!" I shouted desperately. She finally turned and fled, leaving my evil self snarling and growling in fury. When I looked at his eyes, I noticed they had that white ring around the pupil that animals get when they're in the dark. "Leave her alone! I won't let you hurt her!"

He turned to me and smiled.

"Oh, but don't you understand? I won't be hurting her; you will. We are the same person," he told me in this guttural voice that sounded nothing like me.

"No, we aren't. You're sadistic and I'm not. I don't want to hurt her and you do."

"Ah, but I am the sadistic part of you and we're not going to hurt her intentionally. It's just a part of our nature.

"I'm not an animal!"

"YES, YOU ARE! The sooner you embrace that, the safer and happier our mate will be! Stop being a bitch and claim her," he growled out at me. He then phased into my wolf and took off in the direction Raine fled. I could only watch in horror as he closed in on her and pounced. She felled to the ground underneath that beast with a grunt. He then opened his jaws and clamped down on her shoulder and my angel screamed in agony. Blood poured from her wound and the beast seemed to enjoy her pain. I finally felt that my legs could move so I ran towards her. My wolf moved away from her just as I fell to my knees infront of my hurt imprint. She was shivering and sobbing, holding her wound.

"Baby, I'm so sorry! Please don't hate me! Let me help!" I rushed, pulling her against me.

"She's not capable of hating us, Paul. You know that," the jackass behind me taunted. I turned my head and growled at him, shaking in rage. "Careful now, we don't want to kill her. Well, you technically can't because this is all a dream but, you know."

"Why would you do this? Why would you think that I would do this to her?"

"Simply because soon you will have no choice, and neither will she." At that point, he lunged at me and my injured Raine.

"NO!" I screamed as I woke up. I was sweating and breathing hard as if I had run 40miles. I checked my clock and saw that it was just past 1 in the afternoon. How long was I out? I got up and rubbed my face, trying to wipe the sweat and the nightmare away. I can't believe I dreamt that.

"Paul, are you okay?" My mom asked, peeping her head in my room.

"Yeah, just a nightmare. I'm fine," I replied tiredly.

"Well, it's past breakfast so lunch is ready when you are, 'kay?"

" 'Kay. Thanks, ma." She nodded and left. When I showered, again, and got dressed, I went to the kitchen to find 3 grilled cheese sandwiches, a bowl of clam chowder, and a pitcher of Kool-Aid. God, I love Kool-Aid. (AN: i actually don't care for it)

I ate my lunch quickly so I could spend a little extra time with Raine. I needed to see that she was okay. Tossing a quick 'bye' at my mom, I got in my truck and drove to her house. Once I got there, I didn't feel the emotions I did last night which was a good sign I guess. I knocked on her door and waited patiently. I heard Raine's gasp and her pitter patter of feet as she ran downstairs to the door. When she opened it, I sighed in relief... but then smiled in amusement. Raine had an Adventure Time T-shirt on with red pajama pants on with white polkadots on them. She had penguin slippers on and her hair up in a messy bun. She also had her glasses on. All in all, she looked adorable.

"Ah! Paul! I-It's nooot time to go yet, i-is it?!" She worried.

"No. I just really wanted to see you and couldn't wait. You have another hour to get ready so don't worry," I reassured her. She then looked at her attire and blushed. I laughed and walked in, hugging her to me. "It's okay. You look fine. I was just teasing you."

"Mkay," came her muffled reply. She then got ready while I waited in the living room. Now she was wearing a plain white jacket and blue jeans with black snow boots. She kept her glasses and messy bun, which I was grateful for. She really did look great.

"Ready?" I asked. She nodded and we were off.

The cemetary where my grandmother was wasn't the normal cemetary one would be used to. This cemetary was just on the edge of the forest. Each tree was reserved for one family. Every person that died in that family would have their ashes buried near that tree with their family members who also passed on.(AN: idk if this really happens so dont yell at me if ur offended with this) This started ever since the Cullens moved here.

Raine and I walked over to my family's tree and found my grandmother's headstone.

"Hey, grandma. Nice to see you again. I brought a special girl with me today. Her name is Raine Waters and she's my beautiful and intelligent girlfriend," I said, giving Raine a side hug. She smiled at me then at my grandma's headstone.

"It's n-nice to meet you. Your grandson i-is the beeest boyfriend I-I could every ask for. You should beee very proud o-of him. I am." I smiled and kissed her head. That made me swell with pride. She went on telling my deceased grandmother of how nice and funny I was and how safe she feels with me. I would've cried but I'm too much of a man to do that. Just then, I made a promise to myself and to her, that I would be good to her no matter what. Even if she runs away from me when she finds out about me, I'll still treat her good. I just hope she doesn't run and that she accepts me.

Don't worry. We'll make sure that she will.
