CHAPTER 37

Paul woke up the next morning and Anna was still asleep. He looked over at her and kissed her forehead. Then he got out of bed and looked at Anna, she rolled over to her side, the shirt she was wearing had rode up and he could see some of the bruises on her back that Brock had left and he let out a low growl. He took a deep breath and covered Anna back up and walked back and forth across the room thinking of all the ways he could kill Brock, make him suffer for what he did to Anna. He walked to the door and opened it and Emmet was on the other side.

"Move," Paul growled.

"No," he said. "You shouldn't go and do something because you're angry. What if Anna wakes up and you're off doing something to Brock." he told him. "You need to be here for Anna. As much as I know
you don't want to be in this house with us. You can't leave Anna."

"Damn," Paul growled. "You're right," he admitted.

"So why don't you just come with me and play a video game. Blowing things up and shooting people will make you feel better." Emmet said and Paul let out a sigh.

"Sure, why not," Paul said and he walked over to the bed and kissed Anna on the cheek and tucked the covers around her and then walked out with Emmet.

"So how did you meet Anna?" Emmet asked.

"On the beach, she had just found out Brock was cheating on her with one of her friends and she ran off. So I went to talk to her and things went from there."

"So how did she take everything when you told her?" Emmet asked.

"Surprisingly well," Paul said. "I was waiting for her to run the other way from me especially when I told her about the imprinting and we're soul mates."

"But she didn't," Emmet said.

"She said she couldn't imagine being without me," Paul said.

"And its true that you sometimes feel what she's feeling?" Emmet asked.

"Yes," Paul said. "And she can feel what I feel as well." he added. "But things are different with me and Anna."

"How?" Emmet asked.

"Well for one, Anna has been the only imprint ever to not reject the guy. Emily, Aimee, Mia and Brenna all rejected the guys when they were told the truth."

"Anna never did," Emmet said.

"No never," Paul said. "She may get pissed off at me occasionally but its never been anything we can't work out." he told him as they walked in the room together and Emmet went and put the video
game in and brought the controllers over to the couch and the two of them sat down.

"So I'm guessing things with you and her dad are better now?" he said. "Edward mentioned her dad didn't want you two together."

"Yeah he didn't," Paul said. "But he seems to like me now, you know since the guy he did like almost killed his daughter." he added angrily. "But he's going to let me continue to see Anna and right now
that's all that matters."

"So the imprint makes you really jealous to then?" Emmet asked.

"Yeah," he sighed. "Ridiculously jealous." he added. "So much so that I used to be jealous of how close her and Jake are."

"Anna and Jacob." Emmet said shaking his head.

"I know I had nothing to worry about, its just they are really close and no one is able to get through to Jake like Anna can. He actually listens to her."

"Which is good," Emmet said.

"Yeah," Paul sighed. "Anna doesn't want me to do anything about Brock."

"She doesn't want you to get into trouble because of her."

"But something has to be done about him."

"You're right," Emmet agreed and Paul looked shocked.

"Yes I agreed with you and Edward agrees with you to as I'm sure the rest of the pack does," Emmet said.

"Of course they do," Paul sighed and looked away.

"Well lets play," Emmet said and handed Paul the other controller and they started the game.

When Anna woke up the next morning Paul was gone. She let out a sigh and tried to sit up in bed. It took a while but she finally sat up painfully. She was trying to get up when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," she said and the door opened and Alice walked in. "Hey Alice."

"I came to see if you wanted something for breakfast, Carlise sent Emmet to the grocery store for some food when he got your pizza last night.." she said.

"Oh sure I could eat some breakfast but what I'd really like is a shower."

"That we can do to," Alice said. "Where's your bag?" she asked and Anna pointed by the door and Alice went and picked it up. "Alright come on, I'll show you where its at," Alice told her and helped her out
of the bed and showed her where the bathroom was.

"Maybe a bath would be better," Anna sighed. "Considering how much it hurts to stand."

"Ok," Alice said and helped her into the bathroom and helped her sit on the toilet seat while she filled the bathtub. "Can you manage on your own or do you need help."

"I don't know," Anna said quietly. "But I think I'll be ok," she added and Alice nodded.

"I'll step outside then." Alice said and left the bathroom.

It took longer than normal but Anna finally managed to get a bath and a pair of the pants and a t-shirt that Paul had packed for her. When she opened the door Alice was on the other side.

"Where's Paul?" Anna asked.

"Him and Emmet have bonded over some video game where you shoot people and blow things up," Alice told her.

"Sounds like something Paul would like," Anna said smiling.

"They're just right down the hall," Alice told her. "I'll put your bag back in your room and we can go find him."

"Ok," Anna said and Alice disappeared and returned a few seconds later.

"Come on," Alice said and she helped Anna down the hall. "When you're better we have to go shopping," Alice added. "You like shopping?"

"Yeah I like to shop," Anna told her.

"So what do you think?" she asked. "When you're all healed and better we go shopping."

"Sounds fun," Anna said as they approached the room the boys were playing the video game in and heard yelling.

"That has been going on all morning," Alice told her as they stepped in the room. Anna smiled as she looked at Paul and Emmet pushing buttons on the controller and yelling at the TV. A few minutes later there was some type of big explosion and Paul buried his head in his hands.

"NO!," he yelled.

"I win," Emmet said and Paul looked over at him and sat the controller down.

"Anna," Paul said and turned around.

"You lost," she said smiling.

"Its not funny," he said as he walked over to her.

"Yeah it is because you're always so good at everything," she told him and he stopped in front of her and slipped his arms around her waist. "But don't worry I won't tell anyone a vampire kicked your ass
at a video game."

"You must be feeling better if you're teasing me," he said and lightly kissed her lips.

"I was taking Anna to get some breakfast," Alice told him. "You haven't eaten either."

"Just show me where everything is and I'll fix something." Paul said.

"You can cook?" Anna asked shocked.

"Yes how do you think I survived before I met you?" he asked.

"You ate at Sam and Emily's," Anna said.

"Just wait you'll see," Paul said and turned to Alice. "Which way?"

"This way, come on," she said. "Anna you can sit down and hang out with Emmet." she told her and Anna slowly walked over to the couch and sat down. Once she was on the couch Paul followed Alice to
the kitchen.

Emmet sat the controller down and walked over to the couch and sat down with Anna.

"So how are you feeling this morning?" Emmet asked.

"Better," she answered. "Still sore of course," she told him. "But I'm ok."

"Good," Emmet said. "Paul was upset this morning, pacing the floor," he told her. "So I suggested that blowing things up and shooting people might help him feel better."

"Thanks Emmet," she said. "For keeping him here."

"Well I wasn't going to stop him from leaving if he turned down the game," Emmet told her. "That guy deserves to pay for what he did to you and before its over he will, its only a matter of when. You
can't deny Paul his right to protect you."

"I know," she said quietly.

"So do you think Paul can cook?" Emmet asked.

"Not a chance," she said smiling. "He's in the kitchen right now trying to figure out what to do."

"How do you know?" Emmet asked.

"I can feel it," she told him.

"Alice will help him," Emmet told her. "So you and Paul really feel each others emotions."

"Yeah we do," she told him. "It was really weird at first but now I'm used to it."

"Yeah I guess it would," Emmet agreed as Paul walked in the room.

"Paul," Anna said and turned towards him.

"Breakfast is ready," he said as he walked over to her. "Come on," he added and took her hand in his and helped her up..

"So how did it go?" Anna asked.

"Not so bad," Paul told her as he walked with her to the table to eat. Paul helped her sit down in front of a plate that was already at the table.

"Bacon, scrambled eggs and toast," she said. "Looks good," she said and picked up her fork and started to eat. Paul sat down in the chair next to her and ate his breakfast as well.

When they finished up breakfast Paul was helping her up from the table when Alice walked in.

"Anna," she said and Paul and Anna looked over at her.

"What is it Alice?" she asked.

"Carlisle is ready to see you to make sure everything is ok for you to go home." she told her.

"Alright," she said as Alice walked over to her. "Lets go."

"It shouldn't take to long," Alice told Paul. "You can go back with Emmet and blow stuff up and shoot more people." she added and Paul shook his head and watched as Alice walked away with Anna.
He went the other way and found Emmet sitting on the couch. He walked over and sat down by him and Emmet handed him the controller and they started to play. As Alice led Anna down the hallway they heard them yelling at the game.
