Chapter 14 - Done With You
A few weeks later, it was Friday night again. Paul and Alex were sitting by the bonfire. Paul had her wrapped in his huge arms and warmth. Paul kissed Alexandria's neck, "Come for a walk with me." Alex looked up and his pleading brown eyes made her cave as she nodded, Paul stood up and took her hands and pulled her up to stand. As he laced his fingers with her and they walked down the beach a little bit.
Ten minutes and 25 feet away from the bonfire, Alexandria was looking at Paul like he'd grown three heads. The pain that started in her heart suddenly radiated through her whole body, it felt like it was seeping out of her fingertips and tips of her toes. Alex took a deep breath, "Okay What the hell are you talking about?" She could feel herself shaking from head to toe trying to process everything Paul had just said to her.
Paul looked down at the sand and Alex lost it, "NO! If you're breaking up with me the least you can fuckin do is look me in the eye and not be a fuckin coward about it!" Paul's head shot up as his eyes locked with hers, "I don't think things are working out between us right now. I think it's just better we stop now, rather than torture ourselves anymore down the line. It's just not working Lexi."
Alex growled, "DONT CALL ME THAT! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS WITH ME, BUT YOU SEEMED TO THINK IT WAS WORKING OUT JUST FINE WHEN I LET YOU HAVE SEX WITH ME AND TAKE MY VIRGINITY. WHAT A FUCKIN LYING ASS COWARD YOU TURNED OUT TO BE. Some hothead you are. You're nothing but a coward Paul Redson! You know something this is the second time you've done this to me. I quit. Is that what you wanted to hear? I QUIT! I'M DONE WITH YOU! I don't want to have anything to do with you any longer, I don't even want to breathe the same air you breathe, because you're not worth it!"
Alexandria closed her eyes and couldn't stop the tears, "You're not worth it...You never will be." Alex walked away back over to the bonfire, Jake and Alyssa were at her side within seconds, Jake growled, "What the hell happened?" Alex looked down trying to calm herself but the pain hurt so bad, she couldn't stop the tears and her breathing went from regular to panicked almost hyperventilating and she could feel herself suddenly having an anxiety attack. What about the imprint? What about her being in love with him? What the hell was going on?
Seth and Leah were next to notice something wasn't right with Alexandria. Paul saw what was going on with Alex and ran over to be by her, when Leah reared back and punch him in the face as hard as she could, "YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HER!" Paul fell back into the sand trying to shake off the punch Leah gave him, damn he could tell she was a pack member, she had a mean punch. Paul could feel blood coming out of his nose, and watched helplessly as Seth lifted a sobbing Alex into his arms and carried her to Leah's car.
Jake looked down at Paul, "You actually went through with it didn't you? You actually broke up with her because you think you can keep leeches away from her that way? It doesn't work that way Paul. It never did. You're scent is forever marked on her. Any leech that does cross her path now will still smell you. No matter what. So now she's heartbroken, a marked target and by herself without protection. Yea that's really...That's really stupid. If she gets hurt because of you, I'll stop at nothing to kill you Paul. I swear on my life."
Leah watched as Seth drove Alex home as Leah turned back and stalked back to the bonfire and walked up to Paul and noticed he was still on the ground as she walked up she kicked sand into his face, "You stupid son of a bitch! I can't believe you did that to her. You finally gain her trust and she falls so in love with you she can only see you and then you pull some stupid ass shit like that? Are you fuckin stupid! I'm probably NEVER going to imprint and you was lucky enough to imprint on my best friend, someone you claim to have been in love with since you was fourteen. And you go and fuck it and her up all within a matter of what ten or fifteen minutes. And all for what? Because you don't want a leech to go after your imprint."
Leah noticed Paul was starting to stand up and she reared back a second time and kicked him as hard she could in the rib cage, Paul yelped out as his body flew through the air and he landed on his side next to the bonfire, "I hope you realize you've lost her for good. She's going to leave in a couple of weeks for college. She got accepted a year early, because she's graduating early. She wasn't going to go...She was going to stay here so she could be with you forever Paul...FOREVER. And you just fucked it up so bad were probably never going to see her again. Because she was already talking about leaving in two weeks. I don't understand what you're problem is with her, first you don't want to end up like Jake and Alyssa and you get her, she falls in love with you and suddenly now your brain is fighting for control over your mouth and other actions. You lost her Paul...for good...This isn't anyone else fault but yours."
Leah left the bonfire as she phased and ran beside the car Seth was driving to his mom's house, They'd keep Alexandria there for a couple of days so her mother wouldn't suspect anything.
