A/N: Here you guys ... review.

If I just lay here,

If I just lay here,

Would you lie with me

And just forget the world?

With Me

We were on our way to Beaver for our first away game. It was almost an hour drive and I was stuck on the bus with a bunch of rowdy high school boys who couldn't stay still for longer than ten minutes. At least Paul rode the bus with me…

The whole gang was following the bus because they were excited to come see me coach our first game.

"Paul?" I asked as I was trying to figure out line ups for the game.

"Yeah?" he said.

"I'm glad you came," I said to him.

"Of course I did! I wouldn't miss it," he said to me, smiling and kissing the top of my head.

"Good," I laughed.

"Coach!" I heard one of the boys yell.

"Yes?" I sighed and turned around to see what they boys wanted.

"Are we almost there?" Scotty asked.

"Scotty, we've only been in the car for about fifteen minutes, we've got another 20 or so," I sighed.

"Why so far?" Tyler whined.

"Stop complaining," I told him, "Not many teams around us have soccer teams and there aren't a lot of big towns around anyway, so deal with it," I told them.

They all groaned but within a minute or so they were back to being their teenaged selves.

"You handle them well," Paul laughed at kiss me.

"Hey, it's not easy, they whine. A lot." I told him.

"The girls will be worse," Paul told me.

"Hell no! They'll be perfect," I told him, insulted.

"I doubt that," he snorted.

I hit his shoulder, only half wishing I didn't, "Ass."

"Yeah, but I'm your ass," he said cheekily.

"Oh hush," I laughed.

He smiled evilly and started tickling me. I shrieked and tried to push him off, but that didn't exactly work, "Stop!" I shrieked.

"Nope," he smiled.

"Boys! Help me!" I screamed while laughing as I called the boys.

"What the hell is going on?" Alex asked as the boys approached us.

"Get him off me!" I laughed.

They all looked at eachother, and then looked at Paul, then at me, wondering if they should, or not.

"Do it or next weeks practice will be all conditioning!" I shrieked, at this point there were tears running down my face from laughing so hard.

"Okay okay," Cory said as he, Trent, Kyle, and Jamie started pulling Paul off me.

Paul let them pull him off me, as to not make it seem like he was too freakishly strong.

"Thanks boys," I smiled at them when I caught my breath.

"No problem coach," Carson smiled.

I laughed, "Alright, now go sit down."

After they all sat down I looked at Paul and glared at him, "That was not nice."

"Aww baby I'm sorry," he pouted.

"Not gonna work," I said to him and turned away.

"Bella," he whined, trying to get me to look at him.

"Nope," I said shaking my head.

"Baby," he whined.

"You whine just like the boys," I giggled.

"Do not!" he said, offended.

"Oh yeah, you do," I laughed.

"Nah-uh," he pouted.

"You pout like them too, I would know I spend 3 hours a day or more with them!" I laughed even harder.

He huffed and crossed his arms. The pout on his face was more pronounced and he had made him look like a big baby.

"You look like I big baby," I giggled and poked his face.

He looked at me and tried to glare but the second he looked at me a smile broke out on my face. He shook his head at me and laughed slightly. "I can't stay mad at you for the life of me."

"I know, it works to my advantage," I laughed.

"You little," he trailed off, shaking his head and laughing.

I giggled more and wrapped my arms around him and let my head rest on his chest. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my head. "I love you,"

"I love you too," I laughed.

"Stop making out!" one of the boys yelled from the back.

I sighed and unwrapped my arms from Paul.

"Alright boys, we should be at the school in about five minutes, please make sure you have everything," I stressed.

"Got it coach!" Mark yelled.

"I'm serious," I said sternly.

"We know!" he shouted back.

"Alright, well it looks like we're here so get your stuff and meet me at the field in 10 minutes, okay?" I said. I walked off the bus with Paul behind me and headed for the field. I was just crossing the parking lot when a voice stopped me.

"Bella?"

I turned around, shocked to see who it was, "Alice?"

"Bella!" she squealed and rushed over to hug me. Paul growled as she started coming closer.

"Stop," I said.

"What?" she said as she stopped short and looked at me, her face holding all sorts of different emotions.

"Just don't," I told her, my voice still strong.

"Why?" she asked me.

"Because I'm fine without you, I don't need you," I told her my voice starting to waver.

"But Bella, you have to know that we didn't want any of that to happen!" She pleaded.

"No Alice," I said.

"Bella?" another voice said, a very very familiar voice.

"Edward," I said, nodding.

"Why are you with this mutt?" he growled.

"Because after your sorry ass left me in the woods I found my soul mate so screw off," I yelled at him.

"Don't use such crass language," Edward scolded me.

"I'll do whatever the hell I want to, leave. Me. Alone. I'm perfectly fine without you," I yelled.

"Leave her the fuck alone," Paul spat out I grabbed his hand so his shaking would calm down a little.

"Get away from her you mutt," Edward growled out.

"You can't fucking make me," Paul growled out, his shakes becoming worse.

"Bella, love, please," he pleaded.

"Don't call me love, because I am no longer your love. I am Pauls." I said snapped.

"Just leave," Paul growled out, his shaking becoming worse.

I rubbed his arms, "Shh, baby it's okay."

"It cannot be! You do not hear the things he's thinking about you!" Edward gasped.

"I'm sure my thoughts are just as bad, if not worse," I smirked.

Edward glared, "He has corrupted your innocent mind."

"My mind was far from innocent. You have no clue about my past and who I am. You never bothered to ask, I'm not the weak little human you make me out to be so just leave," I said.

"Bella, pl-,"

"No, I have a soccer game to go coach so please leave, and never come back." I said and grabbed Paul's hand and made my way to the field.

"You okay?" Paul asked as he stopped us when we were out of view.

I finally let the tears fall, "How can they expect me just to forgive them?"

"Baby, you shouldn't forgive them. They're ignorant bastards," he told me and wrapped me tight in his arms.

"Please never leave me," I whispered.

"I won't, I promise." He said.

"We should probably head to the field," I sighed. I untangled myself from him and dragged him off to the field.

When we got to the field the boys were already ready for warm ups. They were doing their stretches. I was lucky I got such a great group of kids.

"Alright boys," I said, "Whatever happens tonight, leave everything you have on the field. I'll be proud of you guys no matter what, okay?" I told them.

They nodded and smiled, "Alright boys, let's go kick butt!" I yelled.

They all yelled with me and cheered.

~.~

With one minute left in the game we were up 4-2. Scotty scored twice, Mark scored once, and Cory scored one. I was so proud of them. They really deserved it, they played their hearts out and I couldn't have asked for more.

When the game was over I flipped out. I was so freaking excited. Our first game concluded in a first win. That was always the best feeling.

"I'm so proud of you guys!" I yelled after the game.

"Thanks coach!" they said.

"Time to celebrate!" I laughed, "At McDonalds!"

They all whooped and hollered and headed for the bus. I laughed but before I went to the bus I met up with the gang to say hi.

"Hey guys!" I said as I approached them.

"Bella! You did awesome!" Emily said.

"Thanks! But I didn't really do anything," I laughed shaking my head.

"Of course you did!" she said.

"Nah, I was just the coach," I laughed.

"Fine, you're an outstanding coach then!" she said to me.

"Well thank you," I smiled.

"You really did do great," Jake said to me.

"Thanks Jake," I said with a small smile.

"We should head back to the bus," Paul said.

"Alright," I nodded, "Well thanks for coming guys!"

"We wouldn't have missed it for the world Isa," Lei told me.

I hugged her, "Thanks Lei."

"No problem, Isa," she said as she let me go.

"Alright, see you guys later," I said and I waved.

As we walked back to the bus, hand in hand, the voice I had heard earlier stopped us again.

"Bella, please listen," Alice pleaded.

"Alice, I meant what I said. I don't want to hear from you, never again. Please just leave, " I said, trying to remain calm.

"But Bella, we didn't want to leave you," She tried again.

"Then why the fuck did you!" I finally turned around and screamed at her.

"I… i.. because.. we, "She stuttered.

"Exactly! You don't fucking know why you did, but you did and that's all that matters," I told her. Anger racking through my body.

"Bella, Edward wants you, you have to know that!" Alice said.

"If he did, he wouldn't have left. So why don't you save yourself the trouble of trying to make up for your familys mistakes and leave. I don't want you hear and either does anyone else," I snapped. After I said that I grabbed Paul's hand and dragged him the rest of the way to the bus.

When I got to the bus I had calmed down a little bit, I didn't want to be bitchy when I saw the team.

"You guys hungry?" I asked as I got onto the bus.

"Yes!" they all shouted.

I looked a the bus driver, "Can you stop at the closest McDonalds?"

"Sure," he nodded and started up the bus.

When we got to the McDonalds it was a nightmare. It seems that we weren't the only people that waned to go their at 8:30 at night.

"Aw shit," I sighed. There were atleast 10 people in line ahead of us. This was going to be a late night.

"Coach the line is too long," Kyle whined.

"There isn't really anymore options," I said.

He groaned along with the rest of the guys. I knew the feeling. I was starving and I'm sure Paul was about 10 times as hungry as I was.

We waited for about another 25 minutes and by that point the whole team had ordered. Now getting our food, that was another story. It was safe to say that we definitely got home to late for my liking last night. I decided that I'd give the boys tomorrow off since we got home so late and because they played so incredible.

~.~

"Leah?" I asked. It was about a week after the boys first soccer game and I just received a phone call from Leah, who was crying.

"Bella," she sobbed into the phone. I've never heard her cry this hard, even when her dad was in the hospital and they thought they might lose him.

"Calm down, what's wrong?" I asked her, trying to soothe her.

"Alex, he, I…" she trailed off. I couldn't understand a word she was saying.

"What are you talking about Leah? Slow down, I can't understand you," I said to her.

"We got in a fight," she cried.

"Just a fight?"I laughed, "Me and Paul fight all the time sweetie, it's bound to happen," I laughed gently.

"No you don't understand!" she said hysterically, "I told him to leave and now I don't know where he is!"

I sighed, "Leah he probably just needed to blow off some steam, I'm sure he'll be back," I said gently.

"But he's not even answering his phone," she cried.

"How long has it been since your fight?" I asked her.

"I don't know?" she said, "An hour?"

I sighed, "Give him another hour of two, Lei."

"But Isa, what if something seriously bad happens! What if someone kidnapped him, or or or… murdered him!" she wailed.

"Leah, calm down," I said sternly.

It took her a couple minutes, but eventually she calmed down enough to where she was only slightly sniffling.

"Just text him and tell him to let you know that he's alright," I suggested.

"Okay," she trailed off, still not hanging up the phone.

"Is there something else Leah?" I asked.

"What if he doesn't want me anymore?" she asked quietly.

"What do you mean Leah? Why wouldn't he want you?" I asked her, confused.

"I… Bella I kissed someone else…"she said, starting to cry again.

"What? Why? How? Why?" I asked.

"He was mad at me and I was mad at him so I kissed a random guy.." she cried.

"Leah why would you do that?" I sighed, exasperated. Now they were just acting like children.

"I thought… I don't know what I was thinking!" she wailed.

"Leah, calm down. Just chill. He'll still want you, he'll forgive you," I assured her.

"How can you be so sure?" she asked.

"He's my brother, I think I know him pretty well, and if I know anything he's a sucker for tears, so cry when he comes back," I laughed.

"Thank you Bella," she sighed.

"No problem Lei, call me if he doesn't show up by tomorrow morning," I told her.

"Will do," she promised.

"Bye Lei,"

"Bye, Isa," she said and I hung up the phone. As soon as she hung up the phone I called Alex.

"Alex," I said when he answered the phone.

"Hey," he asked, I could still detect the anger and sadness in his voice.

"Where are you?" I demanded.

"At a little store off campus, why?" he asked.

"Because you have Leah worried sick," I scolded him.

"Well I'm sorry, but I have every fucking right to be pissed off!" he yelled. I almost never hear him get this worked up.

"Just cool down Alex," I said, "She's sorry okay? Yes, what she did was unbelievably wrong, but she's so sorry and you at least need to text her and let her know your okay," I said sternly.

"Why should I?" he grumbled.

"Because at least she deserves that," I said.

"Fine," he huffed.

"Good, bye Al," I said to him.

"Bye Bell," he said and hung up the phone.

"Ugh!" I groaned and rubbed my temples. My head fucking hurt from these two. I swear to fucking god all they ever do is fight, and when they do I get the calls of one of them crying or whining or bitching.

I groaned and banged my head on the table and let myself sit their for a while, soaking in the silence of the house until all the boys started to come straggling in. I was hosting a team dinner for the soccer team tonight, which meant I'd be cooking for about 14 people. Joy.

"What's wrong?" Paul said as he stepped into the kitchen where I still had my head on the table.

"Leah and Alex had another fight," I sighed, sitting up and looking at him. He still took my breath away, and I figured that no matter how long we dated, or were in a relationship, he always would.

"Jesus fucking Christ, why can't they ever work anything out?" he groaned, picking me up and placing me on his lap.

"Don't ask me," I sighed, "Leah called crying because Alex left the house because he was mad at her for kissing another guy," I sighed.

"Jeeze, they have some serious issues," he groaned.

"And you're telling me!" I said.

"At least I'm not the one getting the calls," he smiled cheekily.

"Yeah, luck you," I snorted, getting off his lap to start dinner.

"When are the munchkins due to arrive?" Paul asked.

I looked at the clock and sighed, "About an hour and a half."

"And how long will they be here for?" he asked, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around me.

"I don't know, two hours maybe?" I guessed, leaning back into him, sinking into his warmth.

"Hmmm," he hummed and kissed my neck.

"Okay, okay okay, none of that, I need to start dinner," I giggled.

"Come on, just a little quickie before you need to start?" he pleaded, making his puppy dog face that he knew I couldn't resist.

I sighed and dropped the food I took out and turned in his arms, "Well when you say it like that…"
