As I start back at work next week, I have made the most of having some time off.
Happy reading!
Jake had told me to wait until Paul had woke up so he could, join me, I didn't want to wake Paul he was sound asleep. I walked up to Jakes front door, I checked my phone I messaged Paul letting him know where I was and put the time on the bottom of the message, knowing he would freak out. I knocked on the door, 3 times sharply, I looked around. The door opened Bellas pail face appeared as she opened the door she peeked out from behind the door.
'Hey Lily' she smiled and opened the door up wider for me
'Hey Bella I was just walking and wondered how you were, I haven't seen you in ages' I smiled at her looking behind her
'Oh I'm okay, come in it is so cold' Bella said shyly letting me in I thanked her and wiped my feet, she made me a drink, we sat at the table chatting for a little while, she was not herself.
'Lily I am So sorry for everything Edward has done to you' she said reaching out for me
'It isn't anything to do with you Bella' I assured her
'It is though, I had stayed with him, he wouldn't be doing all this' she said lifting her arms up a look of disrepair on her face
'Don't think like that Bella, you weren't happy, it was the right thing to leave Edward, he has chosen to do all this' I said placing my other hand on top of hers
'No' she shook her head her voice strained
'Bella' I tried to get her to look at me
'The Pack and you are in danger and I could have stopped it all, I'm leaving, I'm going to stop all of this' she said the desperation in her voice matched her eyes
'Bella, the pack will stop Edward, you have to stay here, stay safe, be here for Jake' I said feeling her pain.
'Jake, has an imprint out there somewhere, when he meets them I'll be dropped it is how it works, I'll be all alone' She said tears spilling down her cheeks
'Don't think that, you don't know if any of that will ever happen, Jake loves you so much you two have a bond, stronger than anyone I know, you two were meant to be together' I told her, a small smile on her face for a second or two.
'You can't stop me' Bella said wiping her face
'Where are you going?' I asked her she just looked at me
'To see my Mom' she said
'Not with all those cases' I said nodding over to the pile in the corner
'You'll never carry them alone' I told her she just opened her mouth as nothing came out so she closed it again.
'Money? do you have cash?' I asked her she nodded thinking still just looking at me
'You're not going to stop me then?' she asked frowning slightly
'You just told me that I can't' I told her
'But what you said' she said wiping her face again becoming shy again
'I meant it all, the only one stopping you is yourself' I told her, Bella wouldn't survive it is hard leaving behind what you love and adapting to a lot of change at one time. Se has already endured so much when she was with Edward and how she was treated by him.
'I just don't know what to do' Bella said breaking out into a sob
'Oh sweetie' I moved around the table next to her and took her in my arms, unaware I was taking her pain away, for the past 5 years I had been absorbing everyone's pain, making them feel better, taking on their burdens, only releasing it again when I would cry or express myself.
I held Bella for a while talking to her softly, rubbing her back.
'So please stay and help us put a stop to all this, together we are stronger, we need you Jake needs you' I told her stroking her hair, he pulled away and wiped her face over and over drying it and calming herself down.
'I can't leave' she said looking at the bags
'No, you can't' I smiled at her
'I've got to find Jake' she said pulling her phone out
'Thank you!' she said a pure smile of happiness on her face,
I heard Bella on the phone talking to Jake.
Jake came back to his, I slipped out as they spoke to each other. I wrapped Pauls coat around me tightly, they moved into the next room, I slipped out of the front door and made my way back quickly to Pauls,
'Hey!' a voice called I glanced around I saw Quill in just some cut off's walking near by
'Hey' I called back walking over to him we both walked back to Pauls, chatting Quill told me how Edward was laying low, and that The Cullens Mom and Dad had gone to Italy to meet with their 'Masters' they had members with different powers to help them make the next move and when with Edward. I took it all in, Paul knew all this he just never told me any of it, Quill said goodbye and phased running back through the woods, I let myself in the house, I text Bella, she text be back instantly thanking me. I threw the note in the bin, I deleted the messages off of Pauls phone from me. He was still asleep, I made some lunch, I woke him up gently, she stirred I stroked his arm and called his name, his eyes opened, almost pure black, he blinked and they returned to normal, I passed him some water, he sat up stiff from earlier. He stretched and downed the water. I was dishing up lunch I moved over to him.
'Afternoon, freshen up then eat' I told him he was so sleepy, I sat down and started eating it was still so hot, the sofa warm from where Paul had been sleeping. Paul came down the steps, after his shower, looking more awake, he sat down and took my hand I looked at him, I swallowed the food in my mouth, he ran his finger along my jaw and placed his soft lips on mine.
'You shouldn't have gone without me' he said I just looked at him, my eyes wide
'I can smell Jake and Quill on you' he said, in his deep rumbling tone
'Sorry you were sleeping I was okay, Quill walked me back' I smiled and hurried
'That doesn't make me feel better' he said
'Sorry,' I said feeling bad
'I worry' he said I leaned over and gave him another kiss
we tucked in,
'I'll wash up, thank you' Paul said taking the plates and giving me a kiss I smiled at him
we went out for a short walk as I told him about my morning, he had my hand in his the whole time.
'Why are you so good?' he asked walking in-front of me wrapping his arms around me
'I'm not' I laughed as he said it
'You are, too good for me' he said I cuddled into him
'Shhh' I said he bent and picked me up my feet leaving the ground, I cried out and grabbed onto him, swinging my feet. I took my hands and cupped his face.
'So you like me then?' I asked him he laughed but stopped when he saw the look on my face
'yes I like you, a lot' he said kissing my nose I giggled
'Good, same here' I smiled he placed me down, I took his hand as we carried on walking and talking, he checked the time.
'You got to go?' I asked him
'No, well not exactly' he said giving my hand a squeeze we got back tot he house, I hoovered around whilst Paul cleaned the Kitchen down. I let my mind wonder, I looked over to the kitchen window, the flash of my Aunt and Uncle standing there as though they were there now I closed my eyes and focussed on hoovering.
'Why don't I see you?' I whispered to my Mom, when I needed her I never heard from her, or saw her, I moved into the other rooms, moving chairs and things out of the way.
'Shit!' I heard Paul call out, I dropped the hoover and rushed out of the room over to the kitchen
'Paul?' I called out to him he was cleaning the cupboards out I moved over to him, he had smashed some plates
'Fuck sake' he said rummaging though them
'Hey' I said crouching beside them
'Sorry' he said taking them carefully up to the counter
'We can fix some of them' I said placing my hand on his he just looked down at them, I could tell he was angry with himself, they must have been his Mom and Dad, I went into the DIY room and rummaged around for some glue I found some different types, not knowing which would be best, I took them all over to him,
'Thanks Lil' he said taking some glue and started to fix them up, I left him to it and carried on hovering, I finished and wiped the inside of the windows, I looked out at the woods.
'Come ON' I heard him shout out, I turned and look, there was another plate on the floor, he shoved the glue off the table striking out at it. He just looked at me breathing heavy Paul didn't have much patience, I looked at the door knowing he needed to let some steam off, he just stormed out the door slamming it hard behind him. I picked up the pieces of the plates and placed them together, I found the glue and started sticking them together, and myself together at the same time, it was like a big puzzle, you could see where they were stuck together but it didn't matter they were red plated with white lines now running though them. I stuck a few more together holding them together and making sure they were going to hold together. I placed the other pieces in one pile I left them, I had done 3 plates, I checked outside I couldn't hear or see Paul. I carried on with the windows.
That night Paul and I lay in bed wrapped up in each other, he moved his head and started kissing my neck, my hand snaked up his back to the shaved part of his hair. I climbed on top of him straddling him, his hands rested on my hips, I lifted my top off over my head, his warm hands cupping my breasts softly, his thumbs playing my nipples, I moaned and squeezed my legs around him. I tilted my head back.
I rode up and down on his large, hard dick his hands guiding me, I stopped deep on him, I leaned forwards, covered in sweat, his eyes the darkest I had ever seen them, his groans almost sounding desperate when I stopped, I leaned down and kissed him hungrily my hands running up and down his torso, my walls clenching down on him, he bit my bottom lip, he rolled us over, my head lowered down into the soft pillow, he continued moving his pelvis, my breath getting faster and shallower, his hand placed on the pillow near my head, I placed my hand around his wrist, gabbing onto him, my back arched up and I found it hard to keep still as it was getting better and better. I almost let out a cry as my back arched up my head tilting back, he stopped
'Don't Stop' I said through gritted teeth, I heard his deep chuckle as he carried on, placing his other hand under my back keeping it arched upwards, I rolled my eyes, Paul leaned down and growled in my ear I grabbed onto his wrist tighter and the pillow as my body shook out, I stretched my head back and tried not to shout out as I felt the pleasure wash over and through my body.
Paul held me close to him as he came not long after, I was breathing heavy almost panting still holding onto him, my body moving and twitching still, my grip on his wrist starting to loosen slightly, he pulled out, and groaned he placed a kiss on my chest, he went to the bathroom to clean himself up, I just lay there, I rolled over onto my front and took some deep breaths, I felt so sweaty. I heard the loo flush. I closed my eyes.
'Did you enjoy that?' he purred in my ear, running his hands over my body I just smiled and moved around
'Fuck yeah!' I told him and pulled him down for a deep kiss.
'Good, me too' he said when we broke away. I just clung onto him, his heart still beating quickly. I walked over to the bathroom and climbed into the shower and washed myself clean, I dried myself off and had a pee, I pulled Pauls old shirt on from a draw and climbed onto the bed, he had opened the window, I lay on his arm facing him, we were close to each other, I fell asleep my mind quiet, I was happy.
I woke up my eyes feeling heavy, I didn't know what time it was, it was light outside, I blinked a few times, I stretched, Paul wasn't there beside me, I sighed and closed my eyes, I reached out for him, the bed was cold, I woke up, my phone was ringing, that must have been what had woken me up, I groaned and reached out for it, squinting at the bright screen, I answered it and held it to my ear.
'Hello?' I said slowly, my voice groggy, I swallowed and slowly sat up, rubbing my eyes feeling stiff
'Morning baby' Edwards cold voice greeted me, I just stayed silent, shocked. It woke my up though, I looked around for Paul I climbed out of bed.
9:24am I saw on the clock, he wasn't in the bathroom, I started to climb down the stairs.
'I just wanted to call and say thank you so, much for keeping Bella where she is,' he said
'Bella is safe with Jake, on the pack land' I said awake, my voice strong, looking frantically around the house for Paul. His Timbs were missing, he must have gone out, I got a glass of water.
'Oh baby, Jake won't know what hit him, no one will, so my offer to you again is, joining me, join the revolution, the cleansing, joining us and the high society, where no one can touch us.' He sounded manic I could hear something in the distance I couldn't make it out it was like a chainsaw
'Never,' I spat down the phone and hung up, my hand were shaking, I dialled Pauls number hoping he would pick it up.
'Hey Lil, Sorry I didn't-' Paul started
'Edward just phoned me' I said cutting him off, the growls from the other end let me know he was with his brothers,
'Be home soon, you okay?' he said sharply
'Okay, yeah I'm good' I said he hung up I heard more growling before he line went dead.
I made a coffee and forced myself to eat. I waited for Paul to come home, he opened the door looking around for me, I put my cup down and swallowed the food in my mouth, I rushed over to him, I went into his embrace as he wrapped his arms around me lifting me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist and buried my head in his shoulder. I still only had his shirt on from last night, his warm hands on my ass.
'Why won't he leave us alone?' I asked Paul, his body was rigid his heart was pounding, he must have sprinted here
'It's okay, he isn't close by' Paul tried to re assure me
'How did he get my number?' I asked into Paul, he was so tense I could feel him vibrating, he carried my up the stairs, I peered over his shoulder, Jake, Quill and Sam were walking in, I shrunk behind Paul away from them as he took me upstairs, he held onto me tightly. He placed me down on the bed, I just looked up at him.
'Lil, the wars, coming, sooner than we all thought,' he said seeming terrified
'That's good isn't it? It means we an end all of this?' I asked him hopeful I could hear the guys downstairs, Paul looked down in their direction.
'Get dressed' he said giving me a kiss and looked out the window. I pulled on some warm clothes, and sorted my hair out. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him, he hugged me tight and kissed the top of my head, I walked down the stairs with Paul just behind me, I felt him nip my ass, I turned around quick he just winked at me, I walked into the kitchen.
'Hey' I said looking around at them all they were sitting, drinking and chatting, they seemed at home here, I felt Paul behind me, I leaned against him, my mind starting to get full and fuzzy, it only seemed to clear when I was alone or with Paul. I started to close off.
'Thanks for coming over yesterday, it meant a lot, Bella really appreciated having someone show their concern for her' Jake said into the silence, I smiled at him
'That's okay, I can tell she means a lot to you, and anyway she is safe here' I smiled holding onto one of Pauls fingers, I soon realised he didn't want to seem, weak or too loved up in front of his brothers, I saw the way they guys saw Sam differently because of the way Emily made him act.
'Yeah, thanks a lot, it really made a difference' Jake said smiling Quill just rolling his eyes he would realise one day what an imprint meant to them, tough I still didn't feel fully open to it all the time.
The guys sat round the table, I sat next to Paul. He was leaning in listening closely to the others.
'Anyway we need to get everyone safe, or we go to the action' Sam said in his deep husk voice
'Go to the action' I told them he furrowed his brow at me
'Edward doesn't suspect you have teamed up with the cullens, so join the Cullens and meet Edward away from the Rez. Then maybe keep Seth back, to guard the Rez I mean you have the pack-link, though Edward would see it all,' I said resting on the table looking down deep in thought
'BELLA!' Jake almost shouted making us jump I looked at him confused
'Yes!' Sam slapped him on the shoulder impressed I looked up at Paul confused, he rubbed the base of my back relaxing me
'Bella, had this shield, Edward can't read her mind, the vampires can't touch her, Bella has been practising it whilst with Edward, before she realised that Edward would be using her. So Bella can push her shield out to others, like us! It means Edward won't red our minds and the other Vampires will not hurt us'' Jake said sounding as though it could be possible
'But where would Bella have to be?' I asked still thinking hard
'Close, but safe, high ground' I have to go get her, he took off I heard him phases as he went to go get Bella from her Dads.
'A shield?' I said to myself Paul was in the fridge, I glanced up at Sam, his rough face, the same expression as mine
'What you thinking?' he asked me I glanced back at Paul
'Nothing' I said with a small smile, I think I needed to speak to Bella again
Paul put some food on the table and place a hot drink in front of me and some food, I thanked him as he pushed it towards me, his hands going back to my back. I looked at Quill, he looked worried. He caught my eyes the look vanished as a cocky grin spread across his face.
We sat chatting about the others asking what they had been up to, everyone had their own dramas going on it was crazy though we all got along. Jake walked in Bella almost hiding behind him.
'Hey Bella' I said to her hopping of my stool and walked over to her
'Hey Lily' she smiled moving from Jake, Bella looked better almost healthier
'It looks lovely in here' Bella said looking around
'Thanks' Paul and I said at the same time, everyone laughed I shook my head
I got her a drink and sat next to her Paul on the other side of me, Jake the other side of Bella. I passed the chips to Bells.
The guys seemed to act different when Bella was around, I guess she had been fraternising with the enemy and hurting one of their own, during the process. I watched as she slowly ate the chips, Pauls hand on my back, I noticed his leg twitching, I placed my hand on his knee, what was wrong with him? Jake told Bella the plan, she listened to it carefully
'I-I don't know, I mean it was ages ago that I practised it, what if it didn't work, and you got hurt, then' she started tumbling and her words poured out of her mouth,
'Hey, Bells' Jake soothed her, she looked up at him and gave him a small smile, he wrapped his large arm around Bella, the look he gave Bella was a look every girl would wish their guy would look at them,
'You can do it, just practice, yeah? It is only an idea' Jake said softly to her I saw her large eyes look up at him, he kissed her node making her smile. I glanced at Paul who was pretending to stick his fingers down this throat, making Quill laugh, I jabbed him in the ribs with my elbow.
'IO' Paul stopped and turned to me Quill was laughing hard now, Sams warning growl brought us all back.
'Bella, how would you feel if you went to a training day with the guys?' I asked her turning to her she looked down then into my eyes, I placed my hand on hers
'I'm scared' I thought I heard her say
'I know you are, but we have to give it a go' I told her she blinked up at me
'What if it fails, if Jake and the guys get hurt? They don't trust me!' she said I held her hand
'It won't give it a go, no harm done' I told her Bella nodded her head slowly
'Okay' she said clear this time I let go of her hand. We looked at the guys they were just staring at us, their faced shocked Quill was actually standing up. Sams face looked scared
'What?' I asked
'Bella, did you say anything to Lil?' Jake said not touching her any more, I just looked at Bella, her eyes grew wider
'You did I heard you' I said confused looking around.
I hope this is all okay for you all and not too silly.
