Bella's POV

My date was amazing even though Sam and Leah ended up staying because they had nothing better to do. They saw a different movie and pretended they didn't know us.

Too bad I had to come home to deal with Paul.

"You're on your own Bella." Sam tells me sounding sorry but sticking to it. He told me on the way home he did his good big brother part in lying to Paul so I had to deal with the fall out on my own.

"You're lucky I love you." I tell him glaring at as he gets out of the car leaving me and Quil behind.

"I'm sorry he's such a jerk to you." Quil tells me and I just nod my head.

"The worst part is that even though he's so mean to me I miss how close we used to be. I hate that we can't even talk to each other without yelling. I just want things to go back to how they were before the whole Tina thing happened."

"I know Bella and don't get mad… but maybe you should try to see it from his side. I mean when you were gone Jake was going crazy with worry and I'm sure it was even worse for your family. I mean I was worried and I barely even knew you then. I know he takes it way too far but I think he just doesn't want to lose you again."

"So you're on his side? " I ask him, he starts backtracking but it's too late. I get out of the car and slam the door shut. He gets out and calls my name but I storm into the house.

Paul does not need my boyfriend on his side.

"Hey baby." Dad calls from the kitchen and I yell hey back then run to my room.

I lock the door, change into my pajamas and curl up in my bed. I don't know why I freaked out on Quil, what he said made sense. I know that Paul is so protective because he worries but that doesn't make it better.

I hear a knock at my door and figuring it's Paul I yell to go away.

"Please let me in Bella." Leah calls so I tell her to hold on and get up to unlock the door.

"You still steal Paul's clothes?" She asks amused as she sits on my bed.

"It's Sam's." I lie just because she's annoying me.

"Nope, because I was with Rach when she bought it for Paul."

"Fine! Just because he annoys the crap out of me doesn't mean his clothes aren't worth stealing to sleep in." I snap not understanding why she's here if she just wants to talk about whose clothes I take.

"Sorry, sorry. I just think that as much as you claim to hate him it's sweet that you still take his stuff."

"Get out Leah." I demand.

"No, no I'm sorry for real. I came up here to talk to you about what happened with Quil."

"He's on Paul's side and he's not supposed to be." I tell her.

"What do you mean?" She asks so I tell her about our conversation.

"Are you PMSing?" She asks but I don't know what she means. "Um OK wow. I guess that's what happens when you live with a houseful of boys and only hang out with boys. I know you're a little younger than us but you should start hanging out with me and Rach more." Then she goes to tell me all about periods, PMSing and boobs. Then she starts talking about sex. I just want this conversation to be over but at the same time I'm really glad it's not my dad trying to talk to me about all this stuff.

"Bella!" Parker is banging on my door and I scream at him to go away.

"Yeah OK, definitely having some moods swings. Paul is dying to come in here and talk to you about tonight but I will keep him out for you. But you should probably apologize to Parker and you shouldn't stay too mad at Quil for long. Anytime you want to talk about girl stuff you can come to me or to Rach." She hugs me and gets up to leave.

"Thanks Leah, can you bring Parker to me?" I ask her, really not wanting to leave my room. She laughs and says she'll be right back.

She brings him to me and he scrambles up on my bed, hugging me.

"Why you yell at me Bella?" He asks making me feel terrible.

"I'm sorry Parker, I'm just tired but I shouldn't have yelled at you. Forgive me?"

"I can sleep with you?"

"Fine as long as you don't kick and you want to go to bed right now."

"Daddy! I going to bed with Bella!" He runs to the doorway and screams. A few minutes later dad appears and takes Parker to get ready for bed. 15 minutes later he brings him back ready for bed. He sits on the edge of the bed and covers him with one of my blankets.

Parker snuggles up with my pillow and grabs my shark. I mutter brat and dad tries not to laugh.

"How was your night baby?"

"Before or after Sam lied to Paul?" I ask him.

"Let's go with after, I heard all about the before."

"Are you mad at me?"

"No baby you didn't do anything. I tried to talk to Paul but you know how he is."

"The after was great until we got home and Quil was all on Paul's side about him being a jerk." I tell him.

"Boys are stupid baby. Myself, your brothers and Quil included so try not to take it so seriously." I laugh and tell him he's not stupid. He tells Parker and me good night then turns off the light and leaves.

"Night Parker." I tell him kissing his cheek.

"Night Bella."

"Night Bella, night Parker." Sam whispers into my now dark room. "Paul says good night too."

Parker jumps out of bed to hug Sam and Sam brings him back, tucking him back in.

"You OK Bella?" Sam asks.

"Yep just tired. Tell Paul good night. And thanks again Sam for lying to him and driving me and having Leah check on me.

"I love you." He tells me, then he leaves too.

I listen to Parker talk himself to sleep before falling asleep.
