Chapter twelve

When we arrived at Paul's house I could see he had been busy. His house was tidy and he even had a welcome home banner, maybe he really was changing.

"Wow, this is different" Paul smiled and kissed me again,

"I want everything to be completely different. I want us to start over and with that it means we need to have our first date again. So what do you think of going out to the movies with me?" I grinned; I really liked this new Paul. I wondered what made him change.

"I would love to" I didn't care what made him change or how strange it was that he changed so drastically, I just loved having the new Paul. He smiled and hugged me.

"Now, you need to rest before we go out" He lead me to my old bedroom and lay me down gently. "Do not move. If you want anything, use this bell" He rang a small bell on the side of my bed. "You are to be treated like the queen you are" He kissed my forehead and then left.

I frowned as I thought. Paul was up to something because nobody could change over night. The phone ringing interrupted my thoughts. Soon Paul walked in and handed the phone to me.

"Hello?" It was Mum.

"Tia! Where are you? Are you alright?"

"I am at Paul's and yes I am. He is being nice to me. I think I should move back"

"Tia you know that it won't last. Please come back home" I whispered, so Paul could not hear me,

"You know I can't. Paul will just come after me again"

"This time you will have friends protecting you"

"I have to think about it, Mum. I will ring you in the weekend if I want to come home, ok?"

"Yes I suppose. I just wish you would come home straight away. I hate you being with him"

"I know you do. Well I had better go. I love you. Say sorry to Soda. Goodbye" I hung up on Mum. Then I got to thinking of Soda. Sodapop was whom I wanted but Paul had changed. I was so confused. I rang my bell and Paul collected the phone. Soon I fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next day.

"Tia! You slept all through the day and night. You must be tired"

"Yes, I am very tired. After the beating you gave me you wouldn't really believe I could get well straight away now did you?" I was testing him. Testing his limits. Paul would normally lash out at me, but instead he just clenched his jaw. He quickly walked out of the room. Paul's temper had not left and he would end up hurting me, I knew it. I couldn't exactly drive home though so I decided to see how our "first" date went and then go home after that.

For the next few days as my body slowly healed itself Paul's temper did not show again, but that was because I did not try to wind him again. Paul did treat me like a queen though. It was strange to see him so nice but I wasn't complaining.

It was after I only had a few bruises left that we went on our date. It had been two weeks since he had put me into hospital and he showed no signs of changing back to that person. Paul opened the car door for me and was acting like a real gentleman. When we got to the movies, he paid for my ticket and my popcorn.

"Thanks for this Paul"

"Anything for you, my queen" I smiled, but the whole 'queen' business was starting to get on my nerves. Paul and I never actually had proper conversations anymore, he just told me how much he loved me every single second. I was getting rather tired of it and couldn't wait to go home. Paul didn't know this but I was going home in two days, back to Tulsa and back to Soda. The movie was alright but I had seen better.

"Let's go home now, Tia" Paul said, stating the obvious. I nodded and smiled though and walked back to the car with him. I decided I would tell Paul I was leaving, tonight. I wasn't sure how he would react so I prepared myself. Once we were home, I collected the phone and went into my bedroom. In my bedroom there was the door to the bathroom and on it was a lock so if Paul reacted badly, I could lock myself in the bathroom and ring Mum. I was in the middle of packing my bags when Paul walked in.

"Tia? Are you going somewhere?" I could see his jaw clench. I ran to the bathroom and locked myself in,

"I'm going back home, Paul! I hate the new you and I hate the old you! Find someone else!" Paul started banging on the door angrily and I had to stop myself from shaking.

"Open the door, Tia!" He yelled. I cussed and dialled Mum's number.

"Mum! I'm coming home! Please come pick me up tomorrow"

"Are you alright, Tia? What has he done?"

"Nothing. I just told him and he doesn't seem happy so I locked myself in the bathroom"

"Oh are you sure you will be alright?"

"Just come with a couple of the guys to hold Paul off and I will be fine"

"Ok then darling. Don't get out of that bathroom until we are there. I love you"

"Love you too. See you tomorrow" Paul had stopped banging on the door and I suppose heard the whole conversation.

"Come on, Tia. We can work this out! I love you. You are my queen"

"Go away! I don't love you, I love Soda!"

"No you don't! I changed for you! I can never please you can I? You are a selfish bitch and once you are out of there you had a better watch out!"

"Or what? You will put me in hospital again? I hate you Paul! You will never change and don't even try to! Go find some cheap slut because no longer will I be with you!" "I am the best you will ever have!" (A/N: My ex said that once hahahaha he was a real soft shit like the new Paul!)

"You are the worst I have ever and will have! Go away!" Paul walked away, which I was thankful for. I sat in the bath, shaking. I was so scared of him now and I just wanted him to go away. Running away again might not solve the problem, but hell, it was the best idea I had.

The night was uncomfortable and I was only falling asleep for hour periods. I was glad when it was morning and Mum rang told me she was coming. It would be another four hours before they arrived but I was glad they were just coming today.

"Tia?" It was Mum!

"Mum!" I unlocked the door and greeted Mum with a big hug. I was so glad that she was here! I just wanted to go home! Soon after Soda, Kady and Darry followed. I hugged Kadee and then I hugged Soda. I hugged Soda for the longest. I was so glad to see him again.

"Thank you so much for coming. Paul has me real scared. I'll just finish packing my bags" I had just finished packing my last bag when Paul walked in.

"Well would you look at the big happy family" He sneered. Soda and Darry made sure he didn't come near me but Paul didn't seem to want to get near me, he was more concentrated on Soda.

"So you are her new toy boy"

"Paul leave us alone" I piped up. I really didn't want a fight to break out between Soda and Paul.

"No shouldn't this boy know the real Tia?"

"He does know me! What are you talking about?"

"I changed for you! I was real sweet and sensitive to you and yet you still rejected me! You can't handle anyone, Tia! You don't deserve anyone!"

"I hate you. Just because you changed doesn't take back the two years of hell you put me through! Also I couldn't have a real conversation with the new improved Paul! You were boring! Now let us go" I grabbed my bags and made for the door. Soda and Darry held Paul back and soon followed as we made our way out to the car. I put all my bags into the boot of the car and then filed into the back seat next to Soda. Paul just watched as we drove away but I didn't think that would be the last time we saw him. All I knew was that I was happy to be back with Soda, Kady and Mum. Things were going to change and I liked it.
