Chapter 18 State

Paul POV

I had literally just been ungrounded and it was the best feeling of my life, I don't think that I would ever be able to leave that room. Though Bella kept my company, much to Sam's dismay and Jake, the little fool was completely oblivious to all of it. At night she would park the car out of sight and I would sneak her in though the back of the house. We never once had sex or kissed, give me some credit, I'm not a total dick. We just talked, about what we wanted to do in our lives, what we like most, what we hated the moss, pet peeves stuff like that. I found it easier to talk to her about my father as time passed on.

Since I imprinted and shifted my dad started to pay more attention and time with me and Sam. We Both hated as the same time it had been 3 months since I met Bella, 3 months since she started dating my brother and 3 months since I had a social life. I couldn't be happier if I was telling te truth."Paul, hey Paul." I looked up from my thoughts to see that Sam was elbowing me, we were in the same math class, I know what you are thinking either I am super smart or Sam is super dumb. It was neither really, I had taken the class because I was bored and Sam he had it tek the class to graduate."What Sammy" His face fall as other kissed laughed at him, he hates it when we call him Sammy in front of kids at school.

But he didn't respond he simply jerked his head to get front of the class where our teacher was standing. Her hands were on her on her hips as she glared at me. She was annoying, her hair was in a tight bun . She never showed over her blond curly hairs so her face got pinched back because of his tight the bun was. She was tiny, petite really with red heels and a black pencil skirt with a low-cut blouse. She was a young teacher about 23 and she felt the need to always pick on me in class.

"I'm sorry what did you say." She glared at me and pointed to the whiteboard to see that there is a math problem. I looked over it for a few moment before seeing, this was too easy. "The answer is the square root of 7." I liked to play dumb, the last thing that I needed was people to know was that I was smart, then the hazing would start. I would be the nerdy jock who needs Sam to keep the rest of the team off my back. No thanks. The only reason I don't dumb down my work is because my father, would literally kill me this time. The teacher stared at me, I think that her name was Applebottom. She sneered at me for a before letting out a sigh.

"That is correct, start paying attention Mr. Uley dumb luck and guessing won't help you forever." I hear the rest of the class snicker as I looked out of the window. "Dude what is up with you." I looked down to see Sam intense brown eyes glaring at me. He was looking for something in my face. "Nothing it's just that mom said that I was not grounded anymore, so I'm a little caught up, I actually getting to leave the house for once. Though Kimmy is pissed at me for not making a move on Bella yet so I doubt I will have anywhere to go on a Monday night other than practice."

He let out a light chuckle, I told Kimmy 2 months ago that I couldn't be with her because it wouldn't be fair. I loved her but not in the way that she would hope. She smiled wide at me and told me she wasn't an idiot she knew that I imprinted on Bella the moment that she saw how I stared at me when no-one else was looking. She said that if we wanted to fuck we could, but I have been celibate since then. I mean I got down on Kimmy if she asked me to, but I haven't fucked anyone in 2 months and it's starting to kill me. "Earth to Paul Hakan Uley" I let out a tortured groan as I turn to look at Sam he had this cunning smile on his face. "Can you not do that, mom only say my full name with I'm in trouble or she wants to get my attention." I heard him chucked "I don't know why you don't like your middle name its mean fire in native American it's better than mine." He grumbled under his breath until the bell rung cutting off our conversation.

"Come on let's go get something to eat." His voice sounded so care free but that tends to happen when your imprint turns 18 and buys her own house. Her parents passed away recently and she inherited a lot of money. I felt bad for her, I don't know what I would do without mom, probably have to live with dad. I shudder the thought as we walked down the hallway, people were giving me and Sam glances. I knew some of them were horny teenagers, but I wasn't interested. People thought that me and Kimmy were still a item.

But only the pack and Bella knew that isn't true. I sighed as we finally made it to the cafeteira, it was bright and airy, I noticed the smell of decay and turned to look at Edward,before snarling sooner my breath, his golden eyes raking over Bella's she giggled at a joke that Emmett said to her. She knew they were vamps but still hang out with the big guy. I don't know why. She snapped her head up at the sound of my growl and smiled gently at me before giving me a look that said play nice.

I rolled my eyes at her order while I heard Sam chuckle "Come on lover boy." He dragged me into the food line, both of us grabbing at least three trays worth of food before sitting with the rest of the team. I scarfed down my food as the rest of the team just watched me and Sam eat .They were always so amazed by the amount of food we could consume and not be fat tubs or lards.I looked up to see that O'Malleys eyes were twinkling as he started to open his mouth. "That Bella girl is gorgeous I don't know why she dates you little twerp of a brother." I didn't say a word the only reason that I was aloud to the leave house was because I stopped yelling at Jake, and started to control my temper better. That and not getting in fights was a good thing in my mom's eyes.

She talked to dad and I was freed but fighting with this would ruin that. I shook off his comment but let my eyes trial over to her and Emmett. He was grinning hugly at her and she laughed at another one of his jokes. The blonde looked over to us with this look of distance on her face. When she looked at me she was glaring I had chem wit her boyfriend so I had run into her a few times. She mouths the words "come get your girlfriend." But I slowly shook my head and mouthed "she isn't my girlfriend" back to her.

She rolled her eyes and I let out a low laugh I had to admit that other than the fact that she and Emmett were vampires I liked them. I didn't really have a choice though,what evre time that I wanted to spend time with Bella I had to hang without with Emmett and Rose. I ditched class a few times with them. Thank god my mother didn't know about. I kept my thoughts hidden pretty well on patrol so sammy didn't know either. "Seriously looked at her, if anything,I thought that she would end up with the Cullen the one that has his hand on her waist." I snapped my head up off my food and look to see that it was just Emmett, I let out sigh and watched as Bella tripe and landed in his lap.I thought about saying something but I was glad that she didn't hurt herself. She wasn't the most coordinated, I diece that I could listen in it's not like I was having any conversation.

"I know that we are supposed to work on our art project tonight Em, but I am going over to see Paul tonight." I heard him grumbled under his breath, but she simply laughed "Don't pout we have a whole week to do it. I would see if you wanted to come over but the treaty and all that, but it's not fair though, you and Paul are friend right." He let out a laugh and nodded his head "I guess you could say that, but that we wouldn't talk to each other if it weren't for you but yeah." She smiled wide at that as she turns her head over her shoulder to flash me a winning grin.

"Good then maybe when he is no longer ground we could all hand ." Rosalie let a growl escaped her lips and Bella look at her with eyes of longing. "Please Rose we could double date." At that Rose bursted out into laughter. "Yeah right as long as you are dating his brother that isn't going to happen. But sure Bella." I smile and heard the bell go off. "I got chem got to go." I slapped Sam on the shoulder before walking out. I could have listened to Bella talk for hours, but I had a test that I had to take.

As i was walking silently through the hallway when I smelled corpse coming up from behind me but also the mix of Rose and orchid. "Hey Rose." I turned back to look at her and she smiled at me and for once it wasn't forced or tense. "Hey Paul." I looked at her golden eyes and got lost in them for minute, I'm sure that it was one of their vampire's tricks. "So, I heard something juicy that you might want to be interested in." I watched her bouncy blond curl flow down her back as I saw my chem class fast approaching. "What's up?" I stopped short to look at her while leaning my back against the lockers.

She has this wide grin on her face. "Bella told Emmett that she was thinking about breaking up with Jake, she finally decided which brother she wanted. You" She giggled happily, and I smile wide, but I felt this pang of guilt and grief fill me. "Yeah but Jake will kill me." She gave me a sweet peck on the check and rubbed my arm to try and comfort me. "Bella likes you and Bella is partly family to me and Emmett and seeing as how our brother is in love with her. I rather see her with you. So try not to frown this is a good thing." I nodded my head before going off to chem. I took my seat and watched Emmett walk in smile at me.

"Rose told you" I groaned at him as he took his seat beside me and the teacher started to hand out the exams. "How did you know that." I looked at him as this amused look formed in his golden eyes and he let out a chuckle. "Simple, your cheek, has her red lips stick." I rubbed it off my check and before he laughed at me. "You may begin." I looked up the teacher for was glaring at the two of us or shut up and take the exam. I was down within 30 minutes it was easy as shit.

I bounded off to the practice feeling lighter then I had for awhile, I don't need it hid my feeling anymore and that was great . But if the guilt didn't kill me then Jacob would. I pushed that thought out of my mind as I, got change quickly and sat on the bleacher. I was the the bright blue sky as the white clouds floated by. "What has got you all relaxed." I looked at Sam who was appearing next to me. I sighed and shrugged my shoe url there is no way that I could tell him."Remember that I have super hearing to." I let out a growl and looked at Sam if he had already know then why the hell did I have to tell him. Why did he even need to ask?

"How do you think that Jake is going to take it?" I heard the concern in Sam voice but also this joy, like he was glad he didn't have to keep lying."I don't know but if he asks if you knew you have to say no, he can't hate both of us. He needs at least on big brother he can trust and might as well be you Sammy." I looked at Sam and he looked down at me shock before taking a seat. "I think having with those leeches around is making you soft." I hear him chuckle and I could tell by his joking tone that he didn't mean anything by it.

"There friends to Bella, hell they are practically family to her so I will give them a fair shake for I don't then she would neuter me." I looked at Sam and he nodded his head and watched the cloud folat by with me. "She good for you, you temper is better, you get less anger over little things and you stopped treating humans like something beneath you. It's nice" I chuckle "Glad to know my big brother approves of the new me." I let out snicker as he punched my playfully.

By the time that practice, I was excited to get home, I had gotten out a hour early, which meant that I got to see Bella a hour early. I smile wide a I pulled my shirt over my head as I heard a ringing in Sam's bag. I turned around to see that he was frowning at the phone. "What?" As we walked out of the school I slang my bag over my school and he did the dsam. Holding his hand on the deep black strap of his navy blue bag. He took in a shaky breath and answer the phone. "Hey mom." I looked at Sam and smiled so that was why he looked so disturbed. Mom had been breathing down Sams back alley. Every where he turns mom was questioning what he was going to do with the rest of his life,after he graduated high school. Was he going to school or getting a job and lately she has wanted him to do nothing but say in the house and lead the pack and protect our people. But he didn't want to spend the rest of his life living in the same house as mom. He still hasn't told her that when he graduated he was moving in with Emily.

"Just tell her Sam." I had to refer from calling him Sammy as two hot girls walked passed us giggle as they looked me and Sam up and down. "Tell me what Sammy." He snarled as the nickname came out through the speaker. He punched me like it was my fault she called him Sammy. Then he gave m the best I'm going to kill you look that he could muster before looking back at the phone.

"Mom I was thinking about joining the police department, that way if there are vampires attacking forks or the rez then I would know about it." I looked at Sam as he trudge over to his side of the car and threw his bag on the back. I shove my bag in boerne redtin my head on the back of the cool leather seat. Out of nowhere I started to feel light head and my mind drifted to Bella.I pulled my phone out and shot her a quick text. "You need to eat something I can feel how low your blood sugar is." I hit sent just as Sam hoped in the car. "Sammy that is a great idea and I can only assume that you would be moving in with Emily." She let out a sigh of disappointment and Sam laugh. "Mom I'm not staying with you, no matter how much I love my little brothers and you, Emily only lives a few miles away. It like a 5-minute drive to the house from her house."

I laugh as my phone went off with a ping. "I don't like this mystical connection I can never hide things from you. I'm too nervous to eat" I shook my head reading the message one more time before my mother started to talk again. "Paul dear I know that you're not grounded anymore, but I don't want you going out to parties on a Monday night. Not with that math test that is coming up on Friday." I let out a sigh as I started to text belle. "Baby just eat something for me please." After I sent the text I realized that I did have a math test on Friday but how did she know that. "Yeah mom got it."

I didn't say much, not like there was much else to say other than that. Sam threw the phone in my lap as he started to pull out of the school. "Alright the boys I will stop bugging I just want to tell the both of you that I am going to be at the hospital all day today, so I won't be home till 8. If you need something call, and there is money in usal stop. This time try to actually spend the money on take out."

I laughed, the last time she left us money Jake used it to buy a new video game the idiot. "Yeah mom." We said it at the same time as she hung up. I hear a ping in my back pocket and look at the text. I was keenly aware that Sam was looking at me. "Its Bella, not Jake telling me how much he hates me calm down." I looked at Sam as he let out a shaky breath. "I need your help by the way." I looked at him confused what did the big bad alpha need my help with. I look at my phone quickly to see the text from Bella that said "Okay" before turning off my phone and looking at him. "Shoot big bro." I look at him and he let out a laughed. "I need your help studying for this math test, I barely have a B in that class and you know how dad get." I looked at him, I did but what does that matter he didn't know about our grade. "Mom sends him a copy of our report cards." I looked at him it was like he was reading my mind.

I frown but nodded my mind absently, I could feel frown lines deepening in my forehead as red oak trees started to appear in black and red blurs. "What didn't she tell me that." Just thinking about the times that I just barely made it to A's freak me out. "Don't read to much into it, she only told me because I had a C in like every class last semester. She told me that he was livid and she had to keep him from coming to her house Nd beating the crap out of me. If I don't pass this test and he find out and then I'm dead meat."

I hated that even now we must live in fear of what he thought of us, it pushed me beyond the point of rage. "No problem Sammy, I'm sure mom would just ask me anyway." I looked at him and he gave me his weak smile as we pulled up the the house. I could see Bella's truck parked right in front of the window. Sam pulled up into driveway only to see that Jared was there. This wide smile on his face which forced me and Sam to frown. He only smiled when he was making fun of one of us. I got out the car and he is smiled wide at me. "Hey man"

Sam snarled at him the same time that I did, "What are you doing in your human form you should be on patrol." He shrugged his shoulders lightly. "Chill Sammy it's all good in the hood, there are no sighting and guess what I found out today when I was running past the school." I looked at Jared as he gave me this goofy smile. "Embry he is going to shift, I smelled it on him, I give it by the end of the year." I looked at Sam who frown at him. "I have been noticing something off about him lately but are you sure about that, a few months." He nodded his head. "By his beginning of his sophomore years mark my words on it. In fact, I better 20 bucks." I looked at him and rolled my easy "Great a new pack brother, and he just happened to be Jakes best friend. The both of you know that if he shifted,than Jake has one less friend because he will let it slip. The only reason that we can be near Jake is because mom and the two of us are all wolves. It's only a matter of time for Jake. But Embrey might as well kiss his friendship with Jake goodbye." I look at Sam who sighed sadly. "I know Paul but that is nothing to think about later. You guys want to go cliff diving." I smiled widest Jare. Jared. "Sound like a plan."

We walked into the house as Jared looked at Sam "Hey you got any food patrol always makes me hungry." Sam punched his shoulder for a moment one before jerking his head toward the living room. "Jake has here shut it." He rolled his easy "It's not like Bella doesn't know, why can't we tell Jake and be done with this." He said it in a low whisper and I sighed heavily he could be such an idiot sometimes.

I walked into the living room and was instantly hit with the scent of my mate, my love, my life. The scent of wildflowers and vanillas filled my nose before I even saw her beauty form. "Hey" I looked at Bella as she sides wide at me but shook her head. "I thought that you were grounded." I smiled wide at her "Nope I am a free man. So, you want to go cliff diving with us." I looked at Jake to let him know that he was invited to, but I just wanted Bella to go. Sam and Jared, we walked up behind us nodded gently at Bella. "Yeah be there in a few." I smile wide at her and ran out of the house and over to the beach behind the house. "Is it me or does Paul seem happy. Paul doesn't do happy."

I snarled at Jared joke he wasn't funny and I hate it when he messes with me, it so wasn't funny. Sam smiled sadly as he looked at my frown before shaking his head and looking at Jared. "Bella is going to break up with Jake today. Poor kid." I nodded along with Sam, it was going to happen and I had already started it feel like shit no matter how happy I was there was still that underlying feeling. Nagging at me to feel ashamed. I was sitting on the beach looking up at the cliffs as Sam and Jared dived. I smiled at their antics as I watched the waves lap against them. at

I was going to wait for Bella before showing off. As I sat there I felt my toes sneak deep into the deep cold sand that turned me as I painted the crash of the real water. I couldn't think of a better day till I lost my sight. I got worried as a growled built in my Tiahrt. "Calm down babe it's just me." I smiled as I pulled Bella into my lap and kissed her lips gently at first. But then it became wild with passive. I sucked on her lower lips causing it to become red and swollen as we pulled apart. Both of us out of breath as I heard a loud howl rip through the air.

I tune back to see that Jared was looking at me and then at Bella. She up from my lap no matter how much I protested and whined. She just giggled at my action and walked video to Jared."Hey, what's up to Bella." He smirked at her as she walked over to him pulling him into a hug. Her town with and friendly, "Hey Jared. Hey, Sammy" He is smiling down at her as he walked over pulling her into a large hug and kissing her temple. She tried to wiggle out of his grasped when she realized he was soaked from the ocean. "Sammy stops." She giggled, and he let her go before Jared kissed her temple. They loved her like a sister and that was the only saving grace with all of this.

"How did he take it." I started to stand up brushing off the back of my jeans before walking over to her. Wrapping my arms around her face as I pulled her to look at me. But she twisted her neck so that she was looking at Sam and Jared. They were just as entered in finding out what happened to me. This frown formed on her, face as she looked down at her feet. "Not well he tried to blame Paul, but I told him that it was my decision and had nothing to do with Paul and that he didn't want us to be together for Jake's sake and he just fell silent. I think that he is sitting in the same place I left him." I kissed her temple while mrimg into her head. "It's not your fault that I imprinted on you."

I tipped my head down to rest my forehead against her. "It's not your fault Bells, it mine don't worry about it, he will get over it when he shifts and gets his own imprint." "Well, then again it is rare." I snarled at Jared he wasn't helping the situation. He sighed, and I want to say something when I felt this impact on my face. It didn't hurt but nonetheless, it started me. I felt my body sinking deep into the sand as Jake sat on top of me pulling me in the face again. "Jake stop" I felt his fist hovering over my face when Sam grabbed him holding him back, as Jared grabbed me. But it was too late I was starting to lose my temper.I felt my body quake the ranting to shift at any moment "Bella don't."

I could hear Sam's worried voice as my body started to blur, but that didn't stop Bella from kissing me, as I slid my tongue into her mouth I felt my body slowly as the violent shaking stopped. I pulled out of the kiss to look at Bella and all was right in the world in that one moment. That was until I turn it low kat Jake, the hurt in his eye was like an arrow to my heart, I match his pain and raised him in guilt. I couldn't even look at him, it hurt so much, I looked down at my feet.

I could hear Bella angry and devastated voice ring out in my eyes as her pain and sorrow for heat happen washed over me. Doubling with my guilt it was almost crippling, I could feel my legs starting to buck. "Dammit, Jake I told you this wasn't on Paul. He wanted to be the good brother and let us be together. This is on me, you need to see that…" Her voice broke when she couldn't trust herself to speak anymore. I shook my head and looked at Jake. He was looking down at his feet refusing to meet my gaze but tension clung to the air as he mulled over his response.

"Jakey you need to calm down." I snapped my head to see that Sam was trying to calm him down but the way that Sam said that nickname almost sounded wrong. Jake snapped his head up a hurt look clouding over his usual clear brownies. They dared as they almost looked black like that of a vamp."Did you know." I looked up at Sam, I glare at him angry filling my gaze along with guilt. He had to stick to our deal and he had to sell it, he let out an exhausted but convincing sign before shaking his head no. "No, I didn't know" After that, I didn't listen, he kept his deal and whatever Jake said to me I didn't think that I could take it. I just shut off my hearing I couldn't deal.

I watched Jake nodded his head and I could smell anger and anxiety coming from him. But his emotions were like a whirlwind of smells as he glared at me. It broke me to see him like this, he didn't have that same sad look in his eyes like Leah did. It was more vengeful more filled with rage and sadness."I don't care if you didn't want this Paul, you should have come to me and told me that Bella was in love with you. I could have at least ended this the way that I wanted to. Not looking like a chump. For all your talk your worst than Sam. He might have left Leah for Emily, but he wouldn't betray one of his own brothers. Nope, that was all you." I let out a sighed as he stormed off.

I titled my head back to look at the fading sun this was just my day here I thought that the first day that I was no longer grounded would be fun. I would take Bella out for once. Now, I feel like shit on a hot summer day in Texas. "Paul" I look down at the sound of Belles small voice, tears in her eyes that filled me with rage. Dammit, Jake, did he think that this only hurt him. "Bella doesn't cry, it's not your fault, okay?" I look at her as she clung to my chest and let out shocked sobs that filled my chest with even more sorrow. I didn't know what to do, so I cooed at her and carried my finger those her hair trying my best to soothe her while looking at Sam."Thank for keeping your promise to me." He nodded his head as he looked at Jared. "I do want him out of there, Jared shift and check the forest, I'm going to check around the rez, Paul takes Bella back to the house for now. Okay?" I nodded my head there was no way that I was leaving her, and I was glad that he wasn't making me.

I lifted Bella into my arms she was still sobbing when I dragged her to my room and laid her gently on the bed before closing the door. I crawled onto the bed and held Bella in my warm embrace. Her sobs stopped, and she looked up at me. Her wide doe brown eyes broke my heart when I saw the sadness in them. "I'm so sorry now your brother hates you." I chuckled lightly, I placed a kissed on her temple, before trailing one last kiss on the soft post of her jaw forcing a shiver of pleasure to go down her spine. "Jake already wasn't my biggest fan. He at least has Sam the kind, big brother. It's fine Bells you can't help how you feel, I blame my ancestors for taking our choices away. Maybe then this wouldn't be so painful for you." I kissed her gently and felt her rest her head on my heart. "What did you mean out there when you thanked Sam for keeping his promise." I let out a sigh and looked at her "What did you have for lunch your bloodshot shouldn't have been that low."

As new I question a question right? "nothing too big, just a sandwich and a bottle of soda, so you would get off my case." She giggled lightly as I let out a sigh my warm breath causing goosebumps to rise on her skin. Just keep talking to distract her, that was really my only plane to keep her from busting out in tears. "Championships is coming up in a few weeks are you going to come and cheer me on right."

I knew that my voice sounds equal parts desperate and hopeful, "Yeah baby I wouldn't miss my stud playing the game for anything. But you have yet to tell me this promise that Sam kept for you. Are you going to tell me or am I going to have to ask him when he gets back." I thought that I had pulled that off I guess not.

I let out a heavy sigh before looking at the post that was hung up on my wall. My eyes drifted towards the Dracula poster. "Rose told me that you were going to break up with Jake today. Sam overhear the conversation and asked me about it, we just talk about how Jake would react. I made him process me that if Jake took it the wrong way that he would repent to not now. That way he could at least trust one of his brothers. But I don't want to talk about it. You know that Embrey would be joining the pack soon. By the need of the year." She chuckled and kissed my collar bone before our lips met.

I could feel sparks of fire coursing through my veins as I felt her saddle me bucking her hips ain't my hardening cock. I slipped my tongue into her mouth causing her to let out a sexy moan. But I pulled away from her just resting my hands on her hips as her red swollen lips pouting."Why are you stopping." I look at her, I heard the front door open and close. I put my hand up and counted to 5, then the door to my room swung open.I looked to see Sam who was leaning against the black wooden frown on his face as he looks at me and then Bella. "Couldn't find Jake anywhere in town he may be at a friends house. I called dad to ask if he has seen him he said no. Of course when he called mom to tell her what happen and she is on her way home. She already started to call his friend, but they said that they haven't him." I let out a sighed and felt Bella starting to shift off of me but I gripped her hip keeping in her place. "Alright, I'm guessing she is going to want to talk to me." He nodded his head and I growled under my breath. "To think that I just got done being in trouble just to get into a new kind of trouble."

I hear the door slam and close and in one swift movement Bella was under me and I smiled wide as I smelled her lust filling my room, I got off the bed and walked down the stairs with Sam by my side. She gave me this worried look when our eyes met. "Paul…" I heard her let out a half sigh, half growl. "I didn't tell her to do it, she made the decision on her own mom, can't you be happy." I looked at her and she gave me this guilty look. "Of course I am sweet but your brother is in pain do you think that it would be a good idea to have Bella here." I let out snarl "You're kidding me he's not even here what does it matter mom. This is so unfair because the baby had a hard day I can't spend time with my mate. You do her how dumb that sounds right." I let out a snarl before hearing the engine of a motorcycle. "That's you, father, I asked him to come over and, help with the search." I felt a chill go down my spine as I walked out to see that Jake was getting off the bike and I felt my heart crawl into my throat.

I looked at dad first he had just taken off his melt his cold green eyes looking me over for a moment before I looked down at my feet and he shifted his gaze it Sam. We both shudder under his gaze "Boys" I lowered my gaze not being able to take the disappointment and rage in his eyes. But I had to at least try and fix things with Jake he was family. "Jake I really didn't want any of this." My voice sounded broken almost regretful but when I looked up to meet his cold stare I knew that he didn't believe a word that I had said to him. "So, then you aren't going to start dating my girlfriend who just dumped me for you." I hear dad mouth out a wow as he looks at mom to see what was going on. She gave him this painful expression as she glare at him.

She turns her attention to Jake, her amber eyes full of worry, as she took in his sorry state, he was shivering which made since it was December 1st. He had black bags under his eyes and his arms laid limp angst his side he looked exhausted. Both physically and emotionally and I could tell that mom was heartbroken. Just Looking at his sorry state made me hate myself even more. "Honey who have you been I have been worried sick." Jake got off to the bike handling the helmet back to dad before glaring at me.

The looked in my dad's eyes told me that I had to answer him. "Jake it's not that simple, I love her, but I didn't tell her to dump you for me, I told her to stay with you, I didn't want to be the reason that the two of you broke up." I knew that he didn't believe a word that I had said, and I knew that he shouldn't I had been lying to him for 3 months.

But Jake pushed passed what I had said and stare at me before glaring at Sam his eyes like hot burning scarlet coals. His as anger came off him in waves, it was almost too much for my nose to bear "Whatever so you are the two of you going to tell me why you are harassing my friend. You two and that idiot Jared the one that never talks to me but loves to make fun of me" I look at Sam and he let out his long sigh. But he didn't say a word he couldn't know about the pack and he couldn't even be near Embry when he shifts he would get hurt. Jake looked impatient for a minute before snarling, "great I'm so glad that my dad died and all of you started to act weird and lie to me. Really way to make me feel better." The dead dad car was a little too much for me but he was in real pain more than I could ever fathom. "I'm going to bed nobody bugs me."

When he was gone, dad got off his bike and I had to resist the urge to cower behind Sam as he looked at me and then at mom. "Kahlua are you go into tell me what is going on, please." His voice was so soft and gentle with her, but he was never like that with us. Good mate but a terrible father." I shook my head singlet as I looked at him for a moment. Sam who was looking down at his feet he was too scared to move. That is right he got that C.

"I thought that would be an obvious dick." I looked back to see that Bella was standing there this frown on her face and this angry light in her eyes. It was borderline disgusting, but she just held her head up high and denial. I could feel her insane hatred for my father deep in my chest. I turned to look at him who had his amused look on his face. "Not what I meant but okay. I was talking about Embry, he shouldn't be near him, pack business is for wolves and imprints only." I looked at my father, that was really what he wanted to know about a new wolf, not my about the pain that we were all surfing form because we broke jake. What a dick.

Mom sighed heavily and nodded her head before looking at Bella giving her a warning look even if my mother hated my father for what he did to us. He was still her mate and she would defend him to the death. I let out a sigh as Bella let out a low wild growl almost animalistic. "Did you mark her." I look at my father and shook my head no and he is smiled wide at me. "Which just means that your connection is getting stoned with this who deplorable situation. Kahlua, we need to talk to the council." She nodded her head daily and look at my Sammy then me. "Both of you should be studying for your math test on Friday." Then she walked away from us grabbing the helmet out of dad's hand and driving off to Harry's no doubt. I shook my head and grabbed Bella kissing her. "I'm glad you have my back but before around him, he might not be able to touch you, but he can still beat the crap out of me." I looked at her, as she let out this tried sigh. "You two could gang up on him." I let out a harsh laugh that matched Sammy's. "Come one, we got some study to doing."
