Summary: Takes pace during New Moon. As Bella escorts Jacob out of the movie theater, she meets his "friend" Paul.
Pairing: Bella/ Paul
Bella felt Jacob's foehread, her brows drawn in concern. "You need to go home. You're sick Jake." Jacob shook his head. "I'm fine Bells. Just something I ate I think." Bella started leading him towards the stairs, watching Mike race to the restroom. "I've got him." Bella jumped at the deep voice, and turned to the side to see a boy around her age, with dark black hair, dark jeans, with some well-worn tennis shoes, and a skin tight t-shirt. Her eyes roamed him unbashfully, her eyes meeting his.
Her breath hitched slightly as she got lost in his eyes. Everything in her life seemed to come into place, everything seemed to make sense. That hole in her chest closed immediately, as if it was never there. For once, since she started seeing hallucinations of Edward, his voice didn't divert her attention. She was completely transfixed on this boy before her.
She could tell his thoughts were similar to hers, his eyes taking her in from head to toe. He gave her a smile, his teeth pearly white. "Uh, Bella? Is everything alright? Do you need me to take you home?" Mike's voice pulled Bella from her trance, her brown eyes flicking to his green one's. "What? Oh, no. I'm fine. I'm going to make sure Jake's okay. Are you feeling any better?" She asked, looking him over as well. Mike might be persistent, but she didn't want him going home sick as a dog. Mike shrugged looking pale. "I'll be alright. So you're good here?" He asked looking at Bella, her friend, and the stranger he didn't know. Bella gave him a reassuring nod. Mike scooted past them, thinking he should just give up on the prospect of getting Bella Swan's affection.
The boy turned his attention to Jacob. "Come on. I'll take you home." He stated, and Jacob shrugged away from them both. "I won't be joining your cult Paul, just leave me alone." He snapped, shaking slightly. Paul stepped forward slightly, holding his arm out, keeping Bella away. "Just calm down Jacob." Paul soothed, noticing Jacob's eyes flying every where. Bella watched with confusion and worry. "What's happening to him?" She asked worriedly.
Jacob glared at her, his eyes taking in Paul 'protecting' his bestfriend. "Get away from her." He growled. Bella watched with wide eyes as heat seemed to seep from his body. "Jacob?" She asked, her hand gripping the back of Paul's shirt. As much as she wanted to go to his side, she knew that wasn't a good idea.
An animalistic sound rose from Jacob's chest, making her want to recoil. Paul moved forward quickly, pushing Jacob outside. "Bella, go home!" Paul briefly glanced back at her, before disappearing around the corner. She moved forward, stopping for a moment. She had to check on them. Jacob was her bestfriend after all. She raced around the corner, an alley greeting her. Her eyes went wide as saucers, taking in the large brown wolf. It was huge, and growling at Paul. "Oh my god." She whispered, both heads snapping in her direction.
She glanced down, seeing Jacob's clothes shredded. "Don't. Move. You can't be seen." Paul warned before making his way to Bella. He pulled her into the alley looking around the corner. "I thought I told you to go home." He raised a brow and Bella glared at him. Paul internally laughed. She looked like a kitten, her height making her barely meet his chest. "Well I was worried. Is that...Jacob?" She asked, glancing at the russet brown wolf who had seemed to be glaring daggers at the two of them.
Paul sighed. "Yes. He's a wolf. So am I, along with Sam, Jared, Embry and Quil. Can you please go home? You can stop by tomorrow, or I'll stop by and explain some things." Jacob let out a growl to which Paul turned his head with a glare. "Can-it! You can't be around her right now, or any humans for that matter. Remember what I said. Think about being human, on your own two feet. That helps." He turned his attention back to Bella giving her a look. Bella huffed slightly, her eyes going to the large wolf once more, before settling back on Paul.
"Fine." She grumbled. "You know, you're taking this oddly well." He said, watching her walk down the street towards her truck. She turned towards him with a brow of her own. "How else is a girl like me supposed to take it?" Paul shook his head, waiting until she got in her tuck before turning back to Jacob. "Just hop the fence into the woods." Jacob did as told, Paul following soon after. Just to think..Sam was going to send Jared first.
