Chapter 48: Everybody Has A Somebody And How Come My Dad Knows?
Ok I have the headache from hell and it really really hurts. How the hell Sam hasn't crumpled under all this pressure, is beyond me except to say that my admiration for him has shot through the roof. We returned from the diner, with Jared and Seth both depressed as shit at being away from their imprints, Megan and Shaina. Yeah I can understand, it sucks big hairy sweaty ball's to be away from them, I can totally relate to that feeling because I know what it's like being away from Paul. The feeling of emptiness in your stomach, the heart palpitations and all that crap, again it's not nice but looking at them I wanted to grab them, bang their heads off the wall and tell them to get a fucking grip. I'm sitting in Sam's living room just now, in his favourite chair, ooh have I mentioned he decorated recently, yeah it's amazing. Every trace of that bitch Emily has been erased, it didn't take that long considering Sam opened up a tin of light mocha paint and threw it all over that purple flowered wallpaper. That shit had made me sick looking at it, what kind of alpha has fucking purple flowered wallpaper anyways. Way to feminine for my liking. So, where was I? Oh yeah, well I'm sitting here as Sam and Paul are both trying to cheer up the sad cases that are Jared and Seth. Leah is in the kitchen making me a coffee, I wanted a beer to be honest because after going through the shit that was today, I really felt like letting loose. Hey, can't blame a girl for trying can you? There was another thing going through my mind, since Paul had marked me, I'd felt even closer to him, I mean I'd felt the pull of the imprint between us before, but since he'd claimed me, it had been amplified tenfold. This could mean trouble, I felt like I wanted to spend all my time with Paul now which meant my dad would be getting left out and with a serious case of wondering why the hell, if Paul and I were just close friends like we'd claimed to be, did I need to be with him all the time! Fuck it, I needed to tell Charlie what was going on, I already felt like a total shit for hiding things from him already, I didn't want it getting any worse. I had to come clean.
"I want to tell Charlie about the pack!" I blurted out as Leah passed my coffee to me.
"What? Are you insane Bella?" She asked me in shock.
"No, I'm serious, I want to tell him!" I said again, in a serious tone.
"You can't go about telling the secrets of the pack to just anyone bella, I know he's your dad n all, but he's an outsider!" Choked out Leah.
"Hey, so what? I was an outsider before super dick through there imprinted on me and if I didn't have this doggy charm shit, I'd probably still be an outsider!" I stretched at her, losing my temper more and more by the second.
"Bella, I meant no disrespect to you or your dad, I'm just saying, we will need to talk to Billy, and probably Old Quill to see if it's ok to tell him, that's all Bella!" Saud Leah diplomatically.
"Whatever!" I said huffily, sitting back and sipping my coffee.
"Please tell me I was hearing thing's Bella, you cannot be seriously contemplating telling your dad about us!" Said an exasperated Sam as he came over to where I was sitting.
"No, you heard right, I think it's only fair that we tell him!" I said looking into my cup.
"I have enough shit to deal with Bella, without you throwing more into the mix!" Growled Sam, throwing his hands up in a dramatic manner.
"C'mon to fuck Sam, you aren't the only ones with problems, if I remember correctly it was you who asked for my help with Seth today, if it wasn't for me, who the fuck knows what would've happened, the way I see it, you owe me a favour, and I'm calling it in!" I said slowly, smirking at him.
"You are getting more and more like Paul every single day girl!" Said Sam, burying his face in his hands.
There was nothing he could say, he knew I was right. Jared and Seth were still whinging like bitches. Jesus Christ almighty, I'd had enough of this shit. I looked around everyone, I was taking charge, I love Sam to bits but he needed a break and by fuck I was giving it to him.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP" I screamed at the top of my voice.
A woman's work is never done.
"Right, we are having a bonfire tonight, Leah you go and get Megan, invite her over when she finishes work, Seth, you go get shaina, Sam go and speak to old quill and put forward my idea with him and get Billy as well, Jared, Paul, you go get the supplies and I will get my dad!" I said as quick as I could muster, I felt breathless, collapsing in the chair again. I'm finishing my coffee, then I'll make a move.
They were all looking at me like I'd grown a second head or some crazy ass shit like that.
"Who made you boss all of a sudden?" Asked Sam clearly stumped.
"All you lot have been doing is talking shit over, they've done nothing but whinge like pansy assed babies for the last hour!" I said pointing at Seth and Jared, "and did anyone think to phone quill or Jake to tell them not to meet us at the diner?" I added angrily.
They all looked at each other.
"Well the answer to that is obviously not, change of plan, I'll go back to the diner and get them, you lot stay here and get organized, if you are capable of that much!" I said as I downed the last of my coffee and grabbed Sam's keys.
"I'm taking your truck, see us" I shouted as I walked out the front door.
I drove to the diner like a bat out of hell, fucking incompetent wolves. Parking up, I walked back into the diner, my eyes searching around for quill and Jake. Sure enough, they were seated in the back of the diner, tucking into humongous cheese burgers. I made my way over to them, they really need to learn some table manners. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw shaina, she was sat at the same table with her eyes stuck on the newspaper whilst around her, the girl's she classed as friends were making crass comments about quill and Jake, well I presume that they were due to the fact that they were ogling them and practically drooling. Ok, deal with shaina first. Going over to the table, the girl's looked at me like I was clearly invading their space, which I couldn't care less about.
"Hey, you're shaina aren't you, you go to school with Seth Clearwater?" I asked her politely.
She looked at me and gave me a small smile, yeah somebody has a crush.
"Yes I do, can I help you?" She said in this tiny little voice.
"Listen Seth's busy just now, but he knew I was coming here so I said I would ask on his behalf, we are having a bonfire tonight, just a little get together and Seth was wondering if you'd like to come?" I asked her smiling brightly at her.
Shauna blushed even more now. Her so-called friends, drawing daggers at her. Bitches.
"Yes, that would be nice, thankyou, I'll need to tell my mom first though, what time and where?" She asked me in her timid little voice.
"On the res beach, be there for about seven, ok, I'll see you then, I'm Bella by the way" I said extending my hand. She took it saying she'd see me later. I liked her, poor taste in friends but I liked her all the same. The girl's started as soon as I turned away from the table.
"We will need to get ready, oh Seth Clearwater is so gorgeous, and he's invited us, this is so cool!" Said a couple of them.
Turning back, "I believe I was talking to Shaina, it was not an open invitation, so butt out, shaina I'll see you later honey, by the way, I would seriously think about upgrading your friends because honey, you could do so much better than these lot!" I said smiling at her.
The girl's jaws hit the floor and shaina giggled.
Walking back to the boy's, they'd been eyeing the situation carefully. Sitting next to Jake, he slung an arm around me. Quill looked at me questioningly.
"What is going on?" Asked Jake calmly.
"Bonfire tonight and you'll find out later!" I said assertively.
They just looked at each other, then at me, saying "ok".
Next in my to do list was talk to Megan, she was over by the counter washing it down. I told Jake and Quil I'd be back and wandered over to her. Both of them munched back into their burgers none the wiser.I smiled at Megan and she smiled back.
"Hey there, back so soon?" She asked me quickly.
"Yeah, listen, we are having a get together in La Push tonight, do you want to come?" I asked her outright.
"Erm who's going to be there?" She asked me curiously.
"Me, Leah and the guy's you met today, remember, Sam, Paul and Jared, plus a few other's!" I said smiling at her again.
Her eyes brightened right up when I'd mentioned Jared`s name.
"Yeah, ok, but I don't get off till seven and I'll need to go get changed, where in La Push is it?" She asked me, this time smiling brightly.
"Perfect, on the beach, you can't miss it, there's a parking bay, just follow the path from there, it'll lead you straight down to where we will be!" I said gently.
Everything was working out nicely. I then went outside and phoned my dad.
"Hey kiddo, what's up? You ok?" He asked me.
"Yeah dad, listen do you fancy coming to hang with me tonight at a bonfire on the res?" I asked him.
"Yeah, sounds good, I need a break from the house anyways!" He said to me.
"Ok, well I'll see you about sevenish, ok!" I said to him smiling happily.
"Later kiddo!" He said hanging up.
Jake and Quill had finished and were now waiting on me. They knew something was up.
"Are you going to tell us what the hell is going on now, please!" Asked Quil.
"I've had the day from hell, firstly Seth Clearwater phased, then Jared imprinted on Megan, the waitress in there, then Seth imprinted on that other girl I was talking to, her name is shaina levelle, she goes to school with Seth which I suppose is kinda cool and tonight im telling my dad about the pack!" I rushed out. I really need to learn to breathe when I talk, so not good with the breathlessness.
"Your telling Charlie?" Asked a dumbfounded Jake.
"Yeah, and this is why!" I said as I pulled my hair back from my neck to reveal the bitemark from Paul.
Both of their eyes bulges "HE FUCKING CLAIMED YOU!" They shouted in unison.
"Guys, please, have a little more decorum about you, unless you want the whole diner to know about the pack?" I joked.
Quill just laughed at me but Jake looked really sad all of a sudden.
"That leaves just me and Sam without someone!" He said emotionally.
"Jake, you'll imprint soon enough, believe me! I believe everybody has a somebody! Just give it time, ok honey!" I said rubbing his arm.
"Now, get your asses back to the res, I'm going home to sleep for a while, I'll catch you later ok!" I said hugging them tightly.
"Wait a minute, is that Sam's truck?" Asked Quil.
"I'd totally forgot about that, looks like you'll need to drop me of boy's!" I giggled.
So they did. Once I was inside, I used the house phone to call Paul, telling him I was ok and I'd see him later and asking him to make sure Angela and Embry were ok and that they were to be at the beach for sevenish. He said ok n he'd see me later. I missed him already. I then went into my room and after I'd set my alarm, crawled into my bed. I was beyond exhausted.
All too soon the alarm went off and I heaved up off the bed, my nap was damn good.
I showered then changed into my black skinny jeans with my black ugg boots and my long sleeved silver tunic top, I loved this top. I left my hair down as I knew Paul liked it down then grabbing what I needed, I headed out. Arriving at the res, I was surprised to see Seth already chatting away with shaina and Jared doing the same with Megan. Both couples looked really good together, this settled me a bit. Charlie arrived soon after me, I'd already gone and greeted Paul with kisses and hugs. Angela looked thoroughly fucked if I'm honest with you, and to make matters even funnier, she was walking funnily. Embry had definitely given it to her good. I couldn't help but laugh. Angela drew me daggers but smiled at me eventually. Leah was standing laughing away at something quill said. Then I saw Billy and Old Quill smiling at me. Sam came over to me, leaving Jake at the table laden with food, he was stuffing his face yet again.
"Well, can we tell him?" I asked Sam hesitantly.
"Yeah, but it might take one of us to phase to get him to believe us, you ok with that?" He asked me softly.
"Yeah, I'll feel better when this is all over Sam!" I said smiling at him. Looking around, I met eyes with Billy. He looked really nervous for some reason.
"What's up with him?" I asked Sam.
"You know, I don't have a clue, he's been like that since Paul and I asked him and Old Quill about telling your dad!" Said Sam slightly curious.
"Oh well, maybe it's cause we are telling my dad, I mean they've been friends like forever, this is a huge secret to tell him and maybe he's nervous at how my dad might react, hell I'm nervous as to how hell take it!" I said gently trying to keep myself calm.
So the night went on, Megan and shaina were introduced to everyone and they were made welcome by one and all. Then old Quil and Billy who'd been chilling with my dad, started to talk about the legends. I watched for Megan and Shainas reaction, they were both fascinated by the stories Billy and Old Quil talked about, then Billy swallowed deeply, in a worried manner. My dad looked nonplussed, didn't even bat an eyelid. So I took his hand, looked right in his eye and sighed.
"Dad, the legends are true, all of them, these boys, men are the shapeshifters, the protectors of La Push and forks, it's not a joke dad, everything is true, I used to date a vampire, a leech as the boys call them, that's what the cullens were, I'm sorry dad but you have to find out, because Paul and I are together and yes it's serious!" I Saud as softly and as gently as I could.
He was smirking at me, my dad was fucking smirking at me, even Paul looked shocked as did old Quil. My dad then squeezed my hand and looked deeper in my eyes.
"Bella, sweetheart, I already know, I've known longer than you, I know what the pack are and I know Paul imprinted on you!" Said my dad softly.
Oh my fucking God!
How the hell do I respond to this clusterfuck.
I looked at Old Quill, his face was now set in anger.
"Who told you Charlie!" Was all he asked.
This was not good.
