Chapter 22 This Ends Today

Bella POV

The boys had been in the hallways for hours and I could feel Paul's fear wash away and anger started to pool in his chest. I look at Emily who was thinking the same thing, but she sat in silence. Too afraid or worried to move let alone say something. I looked at the door and found that their mom had run past the door with tears in her eyes. I looked at Emily and she frowned this whole situation, their family falling apart that was on me I didn't choose to have Paul imprint on me and he didn't pick me either but we didn't choose to lie to him and that was on us.

I couldn't take him I had to do something I couldn't just ruin their family and watch what is left crumple away. I stood up, but Emily wrapped her head around my wrist and frown, "Bella we should leave them to deal with this." Her voice was soft and gentle but being nice about this whole situation is not what they need right now. I shook her grip off and walked down the hallway my hair swing down my back as I watch the three boys talking. But I had no interest in what they were saying.

I continued to walk down the hallway till I reached Jakes door and Paul frowned at me. He gripped my twist and growled "What are you doing? Stop!"

I looked at Paul his voice was commanding but a soft whispering forcing shiver down my spine. Any other time I would have to listen, but I was done letting everyone speak for me. I growl myself and glare at him and then Sam and lastly their dick of a father. He was looking at me with this amusement in his sparkling green eyes. "Thanks, but I think I am going to handle this my way." I yanked my arm roughly out of his grapes and pushed the door to Jakes room open. When I met with the sight of the room I was shocked beyond belief. This place is a mess, I close the door behind there was no chance of going was frowning as he looked at something on his screen. "Get out."

His voice was cold and hasher which was what I deserved entirely I never said that I was proud or happy with what I did to him. I sighed and walked closer pulling a seat form the messy desk that as pinned in the concern of the room. I let go a sigh as I crumbled in the chair my determination crumbling as I looked at he angry and disheveled heap that was Jake. Pain radiates off of him like a protective shield. It broke my heart to see him this way.

"Jake if you are going to hate someone then you should hate me, I know that you are in pain right now but taking it out people that had no part in my decisions isn't fair to them…. Jake could you looked up at me." I watched his twitch as his eyebrows knit together and his lips curled over her teeth in a sign of rare. His brown eyes deepening to a dark black his pupils almost impossible to see.

So far, the thing that I told him didn't seem to help anything, in fact, he was fuming with rage. I could take another soft approach and try to appeal to his humanity moral side. But would that even work? "Jacob I'm not going not define myself really there is no excuse for what I did. I should have told you the moment I realized that I love Paul. I'm not going to put our action on a pestle and tell you that we are right and you are wrong. I could but he wouldn't be true, we are to blame for lying to you. Your mom and brother were just trying to mitigate the damage." As I looked at him his eyes scrunched up as his nose wrinkled form rage. "Are you done nothing you have to say is going to change, a man-whore and a slut will find any reason to excuse their so-called family should have told me."

I Shook my rage becoming consuming as I took a few steady breaths before deciding what to say next. Nice isn't working let try rude "Dammit Jake this is ridiculous you are acting like a child, did you want me to stay with you unhappy till you notice. I don't care if you ever forgive me, god knows I deserve your hate and everything you think about me. But telling your mom that you wished she had died. Yelling about past events loud enough that Emily can hear. It's one thing or hates me. I should have broken it off with you and Paul soul have told you. We aren't saints Jake, but your mother did nothing. Sure she told a few white lies to protect. We all have our demons if you want to hate someone it should be the two of us. " I looked at him and he snorted and jumped out of the bed, he looked at me raking his eyes over every part of my body.

When he spoke he was frowning at me, like I was the one that needed to back up. "That's what you don't get, I in so in love with you that I can't be mad at you.I can hate you sure but it wouldn't change anything all I got left is pain for what you and my brother were supposed to be looking out for me. Not giving each other loving looks when I do not pay attention." I took in a few deep breaths letting my voice come out small. "You didn't love me you loved the idea of me, but never really me. Pauls not a choir boy or a fucking priest. He done fucked up shit he has blame in this, the two of us take 50% reliability. Sam and your mom lied but out of love not because they want to betray you. Hate me all you want but don't you dare say they are to blame. This is on me and Paul. Call me a bitch or a whore say that you hate my guts, but you don't get to treat your family like shit for something that I did."

I felt my shoulder shake their form are or sadness but I couldn't take it anymore, but I had to take a chance, I looked up to meet his eyes. There was so much fear and pain in them that I didn't know what to say or do. There's nothing that I say that was going to change what he felt. All I could do was mitigate the pain as much as possible. I knew that there were three angry wolves were out the door losing their patience but that was what he needs time and love.

Jake shook his head sadly getting ready to say something, but I cut him off whatever he was going to say would just be another insult. "They all feel for you and they will let you act any way that you want because they all blame themselves, but I won't do that. I'm not going to coddle you no matter how or why we broke up. You are being a dick and when you look back on the way that you acted today, you will cringe so decided now. A year from now how do you want to remember this." Before he could say a word, I ran out of the room and slammed the door heavily.

I looked at Paul he had this amused but shocked look in his eyes and he glared at the door, I smiled at him before shifting my vision to Sam and then lastly to her dad. He looked like he was proud of Paul for imprinting on me. All I could do was roll my eyes and walk down the stairs and out of sight. I let out a sigh before shifting around till I found the coffee pot in the kitchen.I had to get my mind off of this day and taking care of people was what I did best. The boys were going to need it if they were going to study all the night, I heard shifting behind my back which I thought, was Paul, but I knew that if he would have been behind me. This is war arms would be around my waist. I sighed and turned around to see that Danny was walking over to the fridge. His stance relaxed as he grabbed a beer not saying a word as he did so.

I sighed and looked back at the coffee machine watching as the black dark liquid filled the coffee pot drip by drip till there was a steady stream of it. "The mug is in the top-drawer fathers to the left." I jumped as I heard the voice for a moment I thought that it was Paul but I knew that it was him. I didn't turn around I just looked to the side was there as a wood carved cabinet with a glass cover. Inside I could see an assortment of black and green mugs. I walked over slowly so I wouldn't startle him. I grabbed two mugs one a deep forest green the other midnight black and shined in the fluorescent lights.

"Thanks, you." I look back to see that he was sipping his beer as he sat on the counter and stared intently at me. But he didn't say a word he just nodded his head gently at me before sipping his bear. He was staring at the wall next to me, but he nodded his head. "You're growled at me when we first met do you mind if I ask why?" I looked at him he couldn't have been serious right. I rolled my eyes as his polite and gentle tone. Seems odd for a man who beat his kids to be so polite and gentle.

I poured coffee into both cups to the halfway point before grabbing the sugar jar off of the counter. I watched the snow white grains fall into the cup causing it to bubble lightly, there were three spoonfuls into both cups. I fluttered around the kitchen to the fridge and pouring half and half in one of the mugs, Paul liked his light and sweet, Sam liked his black. When I looked at Danny I let too sigh "You loved your mate but enjoy beating your sons. My imprint, so as far as I am concern, you are nothing more than a dead man." I walked passed him with both cups.

I had to be extra careful not to trip over myself up the stairs, but by the time that I got into the room, both boys have wide smile on their faces. "Bella you don't have to do this." I look at Sam and smiled sweetly "It's the least I can do, I am the reason that your life has been so difficult anyway." Sam let out a laugh as he grabbed the black coffee a gave me a gentle kiss on my forehead. Paul smiled wide at me before turning to look at the door. "Thank you babe" I smiled wide as this shit-eating grin formed on his face as I felt my face heat up as a blush started to form. I let out a content sigh as I looked at him as he drank his coffee. I laid on my stomach letting my feet dangle in the air as I washed them study.

After an hour or two I could see that there was this worried look on both their face, "What is wrong with the two of you." I turned to look at Emily whose nose was wrinkled up, was there something in the hallway. When I turned to look at the door, it was slowly opening there stood their fathers. I thought that was what was putting them in the bad mood, but I could tell that it wasn't the cause.

Paul and Sam exchanged a looked before Sam let out a dangerous snarl. "The smell is coming from Emily's house." I looked at Sam and then Emily and Paul let a small snarl as he wrapped his arm around me was. Pulling me into his warm and confirming side. "If we are going I'm not leaving Isabella to hear." There is was again my full name, it forces a shiver go down my sigh as I felt a low moan escape my lips. Sam stood and gently pulled Emily up from the floor and nodded his head "Dad is your going to stay here with Jake." I looked at him for a moment as he let out a sigh. "Sure kid, just be careful have Jared meet you. You might be an alpha but the older the vamp the more tricks they learn." I watch them both nod their heads as I was whisked out of the room in a flash.

By the time that the world stopped spinning, I was sitting in the back of Sams jeep and I had no clue what we were doing. When I shifted my head Emily was by my side fidgeting in her seat as fear welled in her eyes. "What is going on will someone tell me what's going on." I looked at Emily she didn't look like she knew either. I let out this sigh as Sam snarled and Paul looked at me. "Baby remember how there were 6 leeches in your room." I look at him and nodded my head, his eyes full of anger and sorrow. "Well, that same smell is coming from Emily house. There was a strong gust of wind that whipper through the window. The smell was so overpowering that he managed to travel to the house." I looked at them as Emily who shaking was getting even worse."Sam calm down you are going to phase while driving you will kill them." I heard the anger and concern coming from Paul as he yelled at Sam who was shaking as he turned to yell and yanked the car to the stop.

I was jolted as the car shakes, when I look out of the window I noticed that Jared was already there, his gray hair shimmering as Paul shifted to his silver hair sitting out against the night. Sam sprayed in his human form, as to people stayed in the house and slowly started to leave the house. This cold and will look on their face as they strode evilly out of his face. Bower her eyes were drawn to me and Emily. This wild and dangerous looked overcame their face as they started to move their lips. But I couldn't hear them, there was nothing but muffled sounds. Whatever he said forces, Sam, to lose his cool and shifted out of pure rage. What was I missing?
