Chapter Thirty-Four

Hey everybody! How's it going? I decided to update again because I have nothing else to do and I really like working on this story. Oh my goodness, 100 reviews? Awesome, thank you, thank you, thank you! Now….on with the story!

CALLIE'S POINT OF VIEW

I cried myself to sleep that night. I didn't even realize I had fallen asleep until I woke up and didn't realize where I was. Then it all came back to me and I started crying again. Thankfully Paul slept in the nursery last night so he didn't hear my breakdowns.

So many questions were running through my mind. Who was she? No doubt she is prettier than me. What does she have that I don't? How long has this been going on? Who knows about it? Does he love her? When did he stop loving me?

I know the probability of me getting the answers from Paul is slim to none. Even if I did confront him, he would probably just play it off as my overactive imagination. But I'm not stupid. I know he is hiding something from me. The question is how long has he been hiding it and what exactly is being hidden from me.

One big question kept running through my mind: was he cheating on me when he disappeared after I gave birth?

If he was, there is no way I could ever forgive him. I don't have much proof that he has been cheating, only a pillow with smeared makeup that is definitely not mine, but it's enough to arouse suspicion,

I dragged myself out of bed and proceeded to get ready. Unfortunately I had to go to school today. Technically, I can't return to classes for about a month but I have to go get my homework. Just because I had a baby doesn't mean I have to fall behind in school.

I got Masen ready and put her in her car seat/baby carrier. I was taking her with me because Paul looked so peaceful I just couldn't wake him up. I want to act as normal as possible around Paul, even though my heart is breaking with every day that passes by and he doesn't come clean.

"Come on sweetheart, momma's gotta go get her homework and you're coming with me. We have to be quiet though because daddy is sleeping," I cooed.

After getting Masen settled in the backseat of my new car – courtesy of the Cullen's – I drove to school. Just as I expected, everyone stared at me. No one dared to approach me but that didn't really bother me. I had too much on my mind to deal with petty drama today.

"Callie, it's good to see your doing better," the secretary, Ms. Fischer, said.

"I feel a lot better now. I'm still in pain but it has gotten better since I came home," at least the physical pain is getting better.

"And this little darling must be Masen," she cooed to my daughter.

"Yup. Is it alright if we go get my assignments?" I asked.

"There is no need to dear. I have all your assignments and books right here," she said, picking up a stack and putting it in my book bag. "It's lunchtime now, feel free to go and talk to your friends."

"I think I will. I know Kim really wants to see Masen but I've just been too tired to actually do much of anything,"

"That's understandable, honey. Now, go see your friends and I will see you when you officially come back to school."

I headed to the lunchroom and I didn't have to move around to avoid getting hit or anyone accidently bumping Masen. As soon as people saw me coming, they backed up. I swear people are so stupid sometimes.

After making my way to the cafeteria, and many slut and whore comments later, I spotted the Pack. Of course, all the boys were wolfing down their food while the girls are normal sized portions and poked fun at the guys eating habits.

"Ahem," I cleared my throat.

"Callie!" Kim yelled, throwing her arms around me. "I've missed you! Now, where is your precious daughter?"

"If you calm down, I'll let you hold her," I said, setting the baby carrier on the lunch table.

I quickly unhooked Masen and cuddled her to my chest for a moment. Then I handed her to Kim and stole some food off of Embry's tray.

"Hey!" He protested.

"You want to argue? Must I remind you that I am the mother of your imprint and can therefore forbid you from seeing her," I questioned.

Embry's face went white, which was a striking difference compared to his skin tone. He immediately apologized and offered up his food, insisting he was only kidding.

"Calm down. I would never do anything like that," I laughed.

"Thank you!" He yelled, startling Masen, causing her to cry.

"Way to go, genius," Brady muttered.

Kim handed my daughter to me and I gently rocked her and patted her back. It didn't take long for her to calm down. After I had her calm and quiet and sucking on her own fingers, I went to start a conversation with Kim, but then I was rudely interrupted. By Bianca.

"Well look who it is. Shouldn't you be whoring it up somewhere right now?" She asked.

"Just because I have a baby doesn't mean I'm a whore," I said.

"No, it just makes you stupid."

"I don't see how any of this concerns you," I said.

"You would be surprised. By the way, how is Paul?" She asked.

"Why do you want to know about Paul?" I asked.

"I was just curious. I mean, he kicked me out of your house and I didn't have a chance to ask him how he was. We were occupied," she sneered.

"Shut up!" Jared growled.

My stomach dropped and I felt like my heart was being torn out of my chest and repeatedly stomped on. All of my suspicions were confirmed. Paul had cheated on me, and with Bianca of all people. I could feel the tears burning behind my eyes but I willed them not to fall until I was out of here.

"I mean, everyone knew it was going to happen. And it's not like this is some big secret. The whole La Push Gang knew the next day and yet they still didn't tell you. Some friends," she scoffed.

"You knew?" I asked quietly.

They all looked at me for a second before nodding their heads. That only hurt me even more. How could people I've come to know and trust keep something like this from me?

"You act like you have everything; a man who loves you, a great family and great friends. But the truth is your man cheated, your family and friends knew about it and you couldn't even keep your son alive," she said, smirking.

That did it. It's no secret that I blame myself for Jackson's death, but to throw that in my face after telling me the love of my life cheated on me was just too much. The tears spilled over and I couldn't stop them.

"Callie I –"Kim tried to say, but I cut her off.

"You knew? You all knew and you didn't fucking tell me? What kind of friends are you? You know what, just stay the hell away from me and my daughter," I said, putting Masen in her carrier and standing up. "I will never forgive any of you for this."

I made my way out of the lunch room and out to my car. After putting Masen in the back, I started the car and drove off. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I know I can't stay in that house knowing what had gone on in there, in our bed. That thought alone made me sick. And I knew there was no way I would stay at Sam and Emily's. While it's true that my uncle and I have begun working on rebuilding our relationship, there is no way I would stay there. If the entire Pack knew, then there is no doubt in my mind that he did too.

After getting out of the car and getting Masen out, I headed into the house. I put Masen in her playpen and went into the kitchen to get a drink of water. Paul chose that moment to come into the kitchen. He put his arms around me and nuzzled my neck, planting little kisses along my jawline and down to my collarbone.

"Where did you go babe?" He asked.

"I went to get my homework. And I had a very interesting conversation while I was there," I said.

"Oh yeah, and who was it with?" He inquired.

"Just a person and I learned some very interesting information. For example, did you know that the chances of you keeping your balls are very slim right now?" I said.

I could tell he knew I knew because his entire body stilled. You aren't getting out of this conversation buddy.

That's the end of the chapter! I promise to start on the next chapter and hopefully it will be up by tomorrow. Please leave me a review and tell me what you think!
