Chapter 11

Bella sighed as she tried to once again get Reid and Caleb to calm down. Ever since Maria and Liz went back with their parents to Roswell for the first half of Christmas break they had both been threatening to go down there to make sure they were safe.

"Caleb William Danvers, Reid Alexander Garwin!" Bella finally exploded,"If you two don't knock it off right now I am going to kick your asses both physically and magically."

Both boys looked at her with wide eyes. They had only ever gotten her this mad a handful of times and they were usually fighting each other. Looking at her they both winced seeing that she had unconsciously let her power take over. Isabella Swan was a force to be reckoned with on a good day and down right evil on a bad one.

"Guys, you know they're both safe if they weren't Kyle and Alex would have called." Angela soothed them. "And Bella and I would have felt something."

"Come on Butterfly." Pouge murmured tugging Bella gently out the door.

He knew she was worried too and the added stress that the other two boys were putting on her was not helping. Ever since the two older girls had been gone she'd barely done anything more that take care of the others. Of course that led to her not taking care of herself. Pouge would drag her out of Caleb's house and take her to her apartment to get her to eat and then sleep.

"Why do they do that?" Bella asked him exhausted.

"I think it has to do with them being together and what happened to Corrie and Chase and your visions." Pouge replied cautiously. She already blamed herself for so much for things she couldn't control and he didn't want her to add this to her already burdened shoulders.

"I know, I wish I could help them but I don't know what to do." Bella sighed sadly.

"You already are, you put up with their shit." Pouge grinned while Bella laughed.

Pouge pulled into the parking lot of his apartment and sighed when he saw his ex's car. Looking over at Bella, he knew that she had seen the car too because of her tense posture and blank expression. He slowly got out of the car and walked around to Bella's side to help her out. Wrapping an arm around her shoulders he led her inside and groaned internally when he saw Kate standing at the elevators.

"Pouge." Kate said brightly before turning to glare at Bella.

"Kate, what are you doing here?" Pouge asked tightening his grip on the girl next to him.

"I wanted to talk to you." Kate answered before glancing at Bella. "Alone."

"I'm gonna go upstairs Pouge. It was nice to see you again Kate." Bella forced a smile before getting into the elevator.

Pouge sighed and ran a hand down his face. He hated when she did that and Kate being here made it worse.

"What do you want Kate?" Pouge sighed.

"I want to get back together. I miss you Pouge." Kate said running her hand down his arm. He snatched it back and snorted. Of course she wanted to get back together, she was one of the most popular girls while they were dating.

"Well I don't so you need to leave Kate." He sighed pressing the elevator button. "And don't bother coming back because you're gonna get the same answer."

Bella meanwhile was trying to figure out what to do. Between taking care of Caleb and Reid, avoiding her mother and trying to keep a lid on her emotions she had completely forgotten about the school work she was supposed to be doing over break. Sighing she grabbed her books from her bag and was just about to start on Calculus when Pouge came through the door.

"What are you doing?" Pouge asked raising an eyebrow.

"My homework?" Bella asked confused.

"Did you really think I brought you over here to do your school work?" He asked ignoring the complaints he got taking her school things away.

"Then why did you bring me here?" Bella asked a little disgruntled making him laugh.

"So you could eat and then we can take a nap. Maybe after that you can do you're work." Pouge said smirking.

"I'm not hungry." Bella whined.

"Yes you are, you're just too stressed to realize it and you're gonna make yourself sick if you keep this up." Pouge told her.

Bella blushed knowing that he was right. Taking the hand he held out to her, she followed him into the kitchen and watched while he made them both a sandwich with chips and water. She hauled herself to the counter and watched as he made her sandwich the way she liked it. She knew that everyone would take care of her but she liked it when Pouge did it since he was only forceful when he needed to be with her. Everyone else would hover and tell her what to do.

"What's going on in that head of yours?" Pouge asked startling her from her thoughts. She blushed when she realized that he was standing in between her legs and he had his hands placed on the outsides of her thighs.

"Just thinking of how much calmer it'll be when Honeybear and Ria come home." She said avoiding eye contact while playing with the hem of his shirt.

"Yeah, hopefully they'll come back a lot sooner than they planned." Pouge said smiling at her.

Reluctantly, he moved away and gave Bella her sandwich and watched as she ate everything on her plate slowly, lost in her thoughts again. Soon they were both done and Pouge picked Bella up and took her to his room. Putting her on the bed he smiled when he saw her blush. Sometimes she was too cute. Grabbing an old t-shirt and shorts he handed them to her and turned his back before stripping down to his boxers and undershirt.

Bella sucked in a breath when Pouge started to take his clothes off. Blushing, she started to take of her shoes, jeans and shirt and slipped on the clothes he gave her. When she looked up Pouge was turning back towards her and she wondered if she would ever tell him how she felt. Shaking those thoughts off she moved over to the other side and got under the covers.

"You ok?" Pouge asked once he got situated next her.

"Yeah, just a little cold." Bella said before Pouge pulled her to him.

"Better?" Pouge mumbled already half asleep.

"Better." Bella whispered before falling asleep.

Dream

She pulled back trying to catch her breath while he continued to make a path down her neck.

"Pouge." She groaned. He pulled his head back and smirked at her.

"What Butterfly?" He asked before going back to what he was doing.

"If we don't stop we're gonna be late to Charlie's birthday party and then he's gonna kill the both of us." Bella said breathlessly.

"Then I'd go happily." He said laughing when she pushed at his shoulders.

"Well I for one would like to be here for Carebear and Honeybear to finally get together so lets go." Bella said getting off of his lap giggling when she heard him groan. She squealed when she was dragged back to his lap.

"We both know that they've been together for the past four months." Pouge said smiling at her.

"Ok fine, I wanna see everyone else's looks of shock." Bella admitted getting a laugh from Pouge.

"You do know they're gonna flip shit when they find out about us and add to the fact that your dad and Tyler and Angela are the only ones that know is gonna kill them." He said running his fingers through her hair.

"Don't remind me." She groaned before leaning her head into his shoulder while he laughed.

End of Dream

Bella's eyes shot open and she had to take several deep breaths to try and keep calm. She didn't know if that was a vision or not but she wouldn't mind if it was. feeling her pillow move she looked up to see Pouge looking down at her. She didn't know if it was the dream she'd just had or the feelings she's always had for him or maybe it was both but she did the one thing she's always wanted to do. She kissed him.
