Chapter Twenty
Before I start I just want to say that I am continuing Past, Present and Future but I am focusing on this one right now. I will update as soon as I can but this is my focus right now. So it's not on hold or being discontinued. Just thought I would clear that up. Now…on with the show!
CALLIE'S POINT OF VIEW
After Paul and I left the diner, he dragged me to Sam and Emily's house. Yeah, he literally threw me over his shoulder and carried me there. No way was I going into that place of my own free will.
"Emily, we're here!" Paul yelled. I could hear everyone laughing as we walked in.
Paul sat me down at the kitchen table and sat right beside me. He handed me a plate that was full of bacon, biscuits and gravy, hasbrowns, and a muffin before he gorged himself on his own plate. This made me happy because Embry stole our food from the diner as soon as we walked in the door. That jackass.
During the meal, Emily kept trying to make small talk with me but I ignored her. It may seem childish but I can't just forgive her for messing up everything. So instead I opted for talk to Leah and Kim. Until Leah was dragged off by Jacob and Kim was dragged off by Jared.
So I went into their living room and sat at MY piano. I had mentioned to Sam once that I liked to play and he went and bought me one and kept it at his house. I haven't played it since our big fight. My fingers flitted over the keys as I sang one of my favorite songs.
Isn't it crazy
How life slips right into your life
Forces everything else to the side
Fall in love at a glance, and that's alright
Isn't it crazy
How we never felt so alive
Until your world collided with mine
Trade love for a chance, that's alright, that's alright
I knew I wanted you the first time that I saw you walk by
That I need you forever when your eyes met mine
I loved you the first time I heard you speak my name
You'd be the beauty in my life, always
I never knew I could love someone
Never knew I could feel so complete
After all is said and done, our love will still be holding up strong
I'd give all I have for love, that's alright
I knew I wanted you the first time that I saw you walk by
That I need you forever when your eyes met mine
I loved you the first time I heard you speak my name
You'd be the beauty in my life, always
After all we have each other
Nothing can hold us back from all
that this life has put in our path
We will survive
I knew I wanted you the first time that I saw you walk by
That I need you forever when your eyes met mine
I loved you the first time I heard you speak my name
You'd be the beauty in my life, always
I was startled by the sounds of the pack clapping behind me. Werewolf stealth can be so annoying at times. Mental Note: Get bells to put around their necks.
"That was beautiful," Paul said, coming over to sit by me.
"I didn't know you had a voice like that," Sam said.
"I haven't played in so long," I reply, "This is the only piano I ever play on."
"Why?" Emily asked.
"Because it was a present from my favorite uncle. Back before he changed and become Mr. All About Emily."
"Oh." Emily said before scurrying into the kitchen.
"How long are you going to hold this over our heads?" Sam asked.
"Until I get my uncle back!" I said.
Sam left after that. Paul decided that he wanted me to play another song. So he went and got my guitar for me. This is a song that I had been working on for the past three weeks, ever since Paul and I began our relationship. I have completely forgiven him for all the pain that he caused me but sometimes the flashbacks are just too much. But normally I just push them to the back of my mind.
It amazes me how you are
So simply beautiful
And it amazes me how I am
The one that is, the one that holds your heart
I don't deserve you
But you would never hear me complain
A day never goes by
Without you amazing me
Because I love the way that you love me
The way that you dance without a care
I can't get enough of your sweet lips
Everything about you is so, so incredible
There's something about the way that you love me baby
That makes me feel alive
And I can't get over the feeling
Knowing that I can't just pick, The rest of my life with you
And I couldn't see my life without you now
I'm so thankful
I love the way that you love me
The way that you dance without a care
And I love the way that you love me (I love the way to love me)
You're so incredible,
you're so incredible, oh yeah
"Who is that song about?" Paul asked.
"It's about you. I have been working on it for the past three weeks; I think it represents our relationship. It's called Incredible and the first song I sang is called Crazy."
"Well, they are both beautiful. Just like you," Paul said, kissing me. "So you never did tell me how school went."
"School was like normal," I said.
"Did Amanda say anything to you?" He asked. Of course he had to ask the one question I was hoping to avoid.
"It's nothing," I said, trying to play it off.
"Tell me."
"She just said that I am nothing and that you would leave me for her because I hadn't 'put out'. Then she called me pathetic and said that I probably haven't even seen your dick." I rushed it out, hoping that he wouldn't understand me. He did.
"She said what? That bitch! How dare she think I would leave you just because we hadn't had sex. I love you more than anything! Yes, the sex is amazing but that is not what this is about. We love each other so how the fuck can she say that?" Paul yelled, shaking like crazy.
"Paul calm down! I don't need another set of scars!" I said,
He calmed down after that. For some reason, he feels guilty about not being able to protect me when Sam lost control. He has literally taken every step possible to prevent me from getting hurt; I had to talk him out of bubble-wrapping the entire house. Yeah, that's not overprotective at all.
"She doesn't matter Paul. As long as we have each other she can't do anything. Let her spread rumors, she is the one who will look like a fool in the end. Yes, you did terrorize me with her for years but that is in the past. It's only the present and the future that matter."
"I don't think I have ever heard anything so poetic." Paul said, smiling.
"Then you need to get out more," I joked. "Although I do like poetry."
"What is your favorite?"
"Some say the world will end in fire,
some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
to say that for destruction ice
Is also great,
And would suffice."
"Oh," he said, looking confused.
"It's Fire and Ice by Robert Frost."
"I knew that."
Right.
"I don't understand this shit," Paul said. "Why can't they just speak in normal English?"
Currently, we are seated at the kitchen table working on our English homework. I think that it is very easy but apparently Paul has a different opinion.
"This is what they considered normal English when this play was written. Hamlet is easy to understand. Do you want me to summarize it for you?"
"Yes!" He yelled.
"Ok. King Hamlet is killed so Hamlet comes home from college. But then he is told that he cannot go back. He is pissed off at him mom because she married his father's brother so soon after the death of King Hamlet. Soon Hamlet starts to see the ghost of his father, who tells him that he has to avenge his death," I said.
"But how did he die?" Paul interrupted.
"I'm getting to that. Anyway, Hamlet has to kill his uncle because he is the one who poured poison in his ear, resulting his death. So Hamlet decides to pretend to be crazy and puts on a play that shows the former kings death. Meanwhile, he is having issues with Ophelia, who is his girlfriend. First, her dad forbids them from being together. Then Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius, her father. So in the end, she goes crazy and drowns herself. Her brother, Laertes, comes back to get revenge. So Claudius, the King, and Laertes plan a duel so that he can get revenge for his father. They put poison on the tip of his sword to kill Hamlet but if that doesn't work, the Kind poisoned Hamlet's drink. In the end it pretty much screws them all over. Gertrude toasts Hamlet, drinking from the poisoned cup. Hamlet is stabbed by the poisoned sword. Then he stabs Laertes with the poisoned sword. Laertes tells everyone of Claudius's plot so Hamlet stabs Claudius with the poisoned sword, and then forces him to drink from the poisoned cup, ensuring his death."
"How do you know all of this?"
"Because I pay attention in class," I teased.
"One more question. Who the hell are Rosencrantz and Guildenstern?"
"They are acquaintances of Hamlet's from college. The king tells them to kill Hamlet while he is in England but they die instead."
"Oh. I might just pass English this year after all. With a great tutor like you, I can't fail."
"So, I'm just a tutor to you?" I ask, pretending to be hurt.
"What? No, I was just joking, you mean the world to me!"
"Chillax Paul. I was just joking," I said. I had to stop him because he was turning a startling shade of purple.
"Well then I think you need to be punished," he said, smirking evilly.
"What?" I asked confused.
Before I could react Paul had me in his arms and up to the bedroom in record time. I think I could get used to this punishment.
So this is my longest chapter. It is six pages and over 2,300 words. The songs that I used in this chapter are Crazy and Incredible by Stars Go Dim. They own them, I was just using them. I think that Crazy perfectly describes imprinting. I suggest that you listen to those songs while reading this chapter. Oh, also in this story, Jacob and Leah are together. It's not that I don't like Renesmee; I just think Leah and Jacob should have ended up together. Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed this chapter! R&R!
