I stifled yet another yawn as I was pulled into another store. I was currently being the bag boy for Bella as we shopped for clothes in the mall in Port Angeles.
Every couple of months we had to buy new clothes, it wasn't like we were growing anymore it was just that we were still shredding our clothes on accident. So Bella, Emily, and Leah were leading me, Seth, and Sam around the mall so we could hold not only our clothes, but theirs as well.
Having taken up Brady and Collin's night shifts and having to wake up at the ass crack of dawn yesterday morning and this morning, I felt like I hadn't slept all week.
Well, really, I haven't.
I'd hang out at the diner for an hour or two before going home and doing my punishment chores, take a nap, eat dinner with my mom, and then take another nap, before getting up at 10pm and doing patrols till 5am, when Sam would come on to take over. Then I'd head to Bella's and fall asleep on her bed till 7am, when she woke up to get ready for school. I'd run home then, take a shower, eat breakfast with my mom, and drive to school.
Then I'd do it all over again.
I was just fucking tired.
But I knew my body will get used to it by next week, it was made to do that.
"Hey," I felt her thin arms go around my waist, as she rested her chin on my chest, so she was looking up at me, "we're almost done. Just another hour, and we'll go home and you can take a nap before dinner tonight."
I sighed and nodded, taking Bella's hand and tried to catch us up with everyone else.
"So, who are we shopping for now?" I asked, seeing the smaller pants size.
"Collin and Brady." Bella murmured, before pointing out the section with Seth's size for him and Leah to look through.
Ah, Brady and Collin...
That was another reason we were shopping. Yesterday, Emily and Bella had met with their Grandmother. The poor woman didn't stand a chance. She was totally blindsided with Bella's girl next door demeanor and Emily's care giver attitude, so she fell in love with the girls quickly. Now, she was coming to Sunday's Family Night Dinner tonight. And the girls were busy trying to find something nice to wear since Sue told us all to be 'presentable'.
"Okay, go try these on, will ya? Make sure they're snug the way you like them. I'll take the bags."
Bella handed me a stack of jeans and I handed her the three shopping bags, before making my way to the back where the changing rooms were. I tried on the jeans quickly, desperately wanting to get back to the Swan-Water house so I can go to sleep. I wasn't surprised when all five pairs of jeans were snug around the waist, just the way I liked them; Bella and my mom were the only women I trusted to pick out clothes for me.
I came out of the dressing room, giving Bella the thumbs before walking with her to pay for the clothes. The rest of the group was sitting outside waiting for us.
"You sure those will fit the boys?" I nodded to the large stack of jeans and random shirts that belonged to the boys.
"Yep." She answered, and left it at that.
I don't know why I even asked, my brain was all kinds of slow with the lack of sleep. Bella had been buying the boys clothes since they first phased with her own money. But they were actually still growing, only at a much slower rate. They didn't have much money, and their grandmother would be even more suspicious than she already was if she constantly had to buy them clothes.
They, like Seth, looked 18 with the rest of us looked like we were in our mid twenties; but by the time they reach 16 they'll look as old as we do. But Bella kept tracked of their growth, so she never worried about getting the wrong size.
"I'm so tired." I moaned, wrapping my arm around her shoulder and laying my head on top of hers.
"Just hang on, honey," she rubbed my arm, "You can sleep in the car. I already did all my shopping, now we just got to get Leah some new dresses."
I nodded, and kissed the top of her head, before moving forward to pay for my clothes. We paid for our clothes quickly, before catching up to the group outside and following them to another store.
"Actually, me and Paul are gonna head out to the car. Just meet us there, okay?" Bella spoke up, and I sighed in relief.
They nodded, and we started heading towards the parking lot. We walked quietly and quickly, my right arm around Bella's shoulder and her tiny body tucked into my side, with her left arm wrapped around my waist, both of us holding shopping bags in our free hands. I was humming quietly while twirling a lock of her hair around my finger, when I saw it.
"Paul?"
I hadn't noticed I had stopped until she said something. I was too busy eye-fucking the hell out of the sunburst electric guitar and the amp beside it.
It was one beautiful instrument.
"What is it?" Bella asked, after following my line of sight.
"1983 Fender Stratocaster in Sunburst and an Ampli Tube Fender. That," I pointed to the amp, "is the only official Fender guitar and bass amp."
"I take it you like it." Bella smirked indulgently up at me.
"Like it? No, babe, I love it. It's sexy as hell." I looked longingly at the guitar.
"Why don't you just get it then?" She asked, shrugging.
I sighed, "It's too expensive, Bells. C'mon let's get to the car already."
I started pulling her along, as she lingered by the store window that displayed the guitar and amp. We reached Bella's SUV a few minutes later, and dumped our bags in the trunk before climbing into the front seat. We were quiet for a while before Bella spoke.
"Paul, why don't you just run home? You're lookin' really tired hon'." She frowned at me, as she swiped her thumbs under my eyes, where I was sure I had huge bags.
"No," I grabbed her hand and ran my thumb over her knuckles, "I'm fine. I told you I'd come spend time with you today."
"You've spent every day with me for the past few weeks, Paul. Go home." She pressed the unlock button to her car and nodded pointedly at the door.
I sighed, I really did want to spend time with her, but I really needed some sleep too. I looked back over at her and she glared at me.
I got the message loud and clear.
"Fine. Expect a giant half naked Indian in your bed, woman." I grumbled climbing out her car, while she giggled.
I took my tennis shoes, socks, my thin sweater, which we wore for appearances, and my tank top off and threw them in the trunk, before waving at her and jogging over towards the back of the parking lot that was heavily wooded.
Once in the hit the first trees, I took off at a sprint, which was much faster than a human, and once I couldn't see the parking lot anymore I stopped and stripped before phasing and taking off towards La Push.
The twin's voices joined my mind.
"Hey, Paul. How was shopping?" – Collin
"Fine. Bella got you guys some new clothes." – Me
They both groaned and I couldn't help but chuckle. Sometimes I wondered if they really were Bella's kids, even though she would've been like 7 when they were born, they were just too much like her. They never liked people spending money on them or doing nice things for them.
"Why did she buy us clothes?" – Brady
"She noticed you guys are starting to run low, like the rest of us. I think she even bought you guys something for you to wear tonight." – Me
"Mmm, ever the observant one." – Collin
"Well, that's good. I know we definitely don't have anything 'presentable' for tonight." – Brady
I watched as their minds went back to yesterday after they got home with their grandmother, and how she praised Bella and Emily to them, and how she apologized for thinking so horribly of all of us.
"Are you guys excited for tonight?" – Me
"Yes." They both hissed.
I chuckled, just as I reached the Swan-Water home.
"Well, I just got here. I'm gonna go take a nap. I'll see you boys later." – Me
They quickly said their byes before I phased in the woods behind Sue's house. I pulled on my boxers and jeans, and jogged up the back porch steps. Coming into the house, I saw my mom already here and she was in the kitchen helping Sue cook. I said a quick hello and let them know the others will be home a little later and that I was going to take a nap, before running up the stairs and collapsing onto Bella's bed.
As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out. I didn't wake up until a little later when the scent of strawberry's wafted around me, and the bed sunk with her weight. Only for me to pull her closer and fall right back to sleep.

"Paul, wake up." I groaned as I felt a little hand shaking my shoulder.
"Wake up. Wake up. Wake up."
I growled and turned over. I snapped my eyes up to be Bella so I can glare at her properly; I froze at the figure in front of me.
Bella. Wet. And in a towel.
HolyFuckingChrist
Now, I've seen Bella wear less. I've seen her wearing a sports bra and short shorts when we go cliff diving. I've seen her wearing a shirt and underwear when I stay the night.
Hell, I've even seen her naked through Jacob Black's eyes.
And let me tell you… His imagination didn't do her any justice.
But I've never seen her with my own eyes…. like this.
And here she was in that towel.
That fucking towel…
It was barely covering her ass and tits.
"You done eye-fucking me, Meraz?"
My eyes snapped to her, and I felt a grin spread across my face as her blush reached down her chest.
Jesus Fuck
Now, she may be my best friend, but I was still a man. And Bella Swan had always been hot. I had to swallow thickly, and my smile fell as I heard Leah's snickers from her bedroom, and Seth's cough/spluttering followed by a warning growl coming from his room.
"Fuck you, Swan." I growled.
A sly grin appeared on Bella's face, as she turned and walked into her walk in closet, before she stopped and called back to me over her shoulder.
"You couldn't handle this, baby." She winked before turning back to her closet.
I growled and adjusted myself in my pants. I didn't need Bella seeing that she had an effect on me; that, not only would make her blush, but she can be fucking cocky about it. It had happened once, I had been staring to intently at Bella while she was bent over at the diner; it resulted in me getting a black eye from Jacob and Bella flaunting her shit and hurdling unnecessary comments at me.
I jumped into the shower and sighed when I felt much more energized than I did this morning.
I wasn't in the shower for more than five minutes before I heard the door open and close, and Leah's and Bella's voices reached my ears.
"What the fuck? Can't a man take a shower in peace?" I growled.
"No." Was Leah's answer.
"We have to finish getting ready, and you're taking too long." Bella said.
A few seconds later, I heard the blow dryer running. I sighed, I should've just used Seth's bathroom. But then again my toiletries were in here and I was too lazy to move them back and forth. I decided I was bored enough to listen in on their gossip while I went about my business.
"So mom and Charlie set a date." I heard Leah murmur over the blow dryer.
It was about fucking time. They've been engaged for a little over a year now, and everyone was getting a little impatient with them. Well, I knew my mom was.
"Yeah? When's that?" Bella asked.
"March 5th." Leah answered.
"Wow. That's a few weeks from now. Do they know what they're going to do yet?"
"Mom just wants to go to Vegas, but we all know that is not gonna happen." I could hear the smirk in Leah's voice.
"Yeah, Charlie doesn't want to do that, since he did that with Renee. I think they should just have it here, plus a lot of people want to attend." Bella voiced.
"That's true. Has Charlie said anything about the honeymoon? I know mom hasn't." Leah asked.
"No." Bella answered, they were silent for a while before Bella spoke again, "Maybe… Maybe we can send them somewhere, like… Phoenix or Jacksonville." She murmured quietly.
I dropped the bar of soap in my hands in shock.
Phoenix or Jacksonville.
The Phoenix house had been paid off when Renee and Phil had moved to Jacksonville, but Renee couldn't let go of the house because it had been their first house and the place Bella did the majority of her growing up. And when they had moved to Jacksonville, they bought and paid the majority of it with Phil's first check after he got signed to a baseball team. When they had passed away, the house only had a few more payments left, and everything that Phil and Renee owned went to Bella. And when the lawyers asked about the houses, Bella couldn't let them go.
Too many memories there, she had said.
Apparently Charlie was the same because the house in Forks was still under his name, and he wasn't going to let it go anytime soon.
"I think… I think that's a great idea. Are you sure about this, Bella?" Leah asked, concern coloring her tone.
"Yes. Call Seth in here and see what he thinks?" Bella instructed.
I groaned as I heard Seth's steps coming into the bathroom.
"Who's in the shower?" He asked.
"Paul." Both girls answered.
"Why are you in here then?"
"We needed to get ready." Bella answered.
"Okay." Seth said slowly, "What do you guys need?"
"Sit down." Leah instructed.
I heard Seth moving around until the sound of the toilet seat cover creaked and I knew he was doing what he was told. They went on to tell him about Bella's suggestion and they got the same shocked silence, but Seth seemed to snap out of it faster than we did.
"Are you sure, Bells?" He asked slowly.
"Yeah, I mean my Godmother still lives in Phoenix with her daughter, down the road from the house. And the neighbor in Jacksonville played with Phil on the team. They both have a key and said they'll take care of the house and get it cleaned up when I was ready to come back."
"Well, if you're sure, then I think it's a great idea. Get them away from us kids for a while." He chuckled.
"Me too. What do you think, Paul?" Bella tapped the shower curtain.
"I think you should get me a towel." I said as I turned off the water, and smiled when I heard her huff, "I think it's a great idea."
I wrapped the towel around my waist after Bella handed it to me, and stepped out of the shower. I had been right, Seth was sitting on the toilet, reading a car magazine. He was already dressed up in a red polo shirt with white strips and jeans, and his old red converses that looked like they were finally cleaned.
Over by their own sinks, were Leah and Bella, they too were dressed up. Leah was in one of her dresses, it was white but had different color flower prints on them, and she was wearing her black flats. Her short hair was down and pin straight, and she barely had any make up on. Bella was wearing a blue blouse that had a large white belt going around her waist, with jeans, and blue flats. Her hair was pulled up in a high pony tail and she also had little make up on.
I felt a smirk plaster itself on my face, as I watched Bella's chocolate eyes scanning my chest and abs repeatedly.
"You done eye-fucking me, Swan?" I repeated her words.
"Fuck you, Meraz." She growled a cute kitten growl.
"Anytime, baby, anytime." I smirked, and chuckled when she huffed.
"Don't you girls look pretty." I said walking over to Bella's sink, and saw Seth roll his eyes, "I meant you too, Seth."
I watched from the bathroom mirror, as Seth stood from the toilet with a sly grin. His eyes flickered to his sisters before he looked me in the eye through the mirror.
"You couldn't handle this, baby." He winked and blew me a kiss as he walked towards the door.
I groaned, as the girls coughed to hide their laughter, only to fail miserably when Seth slammed the bathroom door shut muttering 'asshole' loud enough for Bella to hear.
"Mind if I shave?" I asked Bella when Leah took her giggling ass downstairs.
"Don't use Leah's sink. She hates that shit." She said as she walked into her bedroom.
I opened Bella's medicine cabinet and grimaced when I saw Jacob's stuff still on the third shelf. Mine and Bella's things were all mixed together on the second and first shelf, and I briefly wondered if Jake had ever been jealous of our relationship before.
I mean Bella was my best friend. She knew things about me, that my mom didn't even know, and the same went for her. I knew things about her that Jacob didn't know. Bella and I had a bond that was much different from the couples and friends in our group. We got each other a hell of a lot better, I knew when she had the need to just run away and she knew when I needed to fuck something up. And we both knew how to calm each other better than anybody else.
Was that why Jake was being such a dick lately?
"Here's your clothes."
I looked over and beside me stood Bella holding my clothes in her hands, but she wasn't looking at me, she was staring at the third shelf. I sighed, and grabbed my razor and shaving cream, before closing the cabinet door. Bella blinked and looked back over to me, as she sat the clothes on the counter.
"Will you go with me?" She asked in a timid voice.
"Go where?" I asked, rubbing the cream onto my jaw.
"Jake's. I have to get my stuff back and I need to give him his stuff." She started to ramble.
"Relax. Yes, I'll go with you." I chuckled.
"Good." She nodded, as she beamed.
We talked as I finished getting ready. She sat on the toilet seat and had closed her eyes when I put on the jeans and black button down shirt she set out for me. By the time I was down rolling up the last sleeve to my elbow, I couldn't hold the question any longer. Bella tended to get talkative and would play with her fingers a lot when she got nervous.
And she was doing both now.
"Okay, what's up? Why are you so nervous?" I curled a finger around her chin and pulled her face up so I could look into her eyes.
"I'm not." She shut up when I glared at her, before sighing, "Okay, I am. I'm nervous the Twin's grandmother wont like me. I mean, I know this is weird, but I feel like the boys… that… they are mine, ya know? No, never mind, I don't know what I'm talking about.. It's just.."
"Hey, hey, I get it." She looked at me doubtfully. "I do." I reassured.
"I mean, you're the one that takes care of them. Feeds them. Buys them clothes. You're the one they go to when they need someone to talk to."
I sighed, remembering when the boys had first phased. About two weeks into their phase, Sam was taking them around one last time. He was worried since they were only 12 years old, that they weren't ready yet. Sam had just left them to take care of the Fork's region of the forest, so they could get acclimated with the Cullen's scent, and I was coming off my shift and was right outside my house, ready to phase back to human form, when the boys caught a whiff of the sickly sweet stench that belong to a bloodsucker. Without a second thought, I ran, telling them to send up a signal. You could hear the panic in their howls, as they registered five vamps running straight for them.
The twins, Seth, and Leah were the smallest, therefore the fastest of our pack; Leah being the smallest of them all. But outside of them, I was fastest next to Sam, strongest next to Quil, and a better fighter next to Jake. I fair better with all three than the rest of them only being particularly good in their one area.
I had never run so fast in my life.
By the time, everyone showed up the boys and I had two leaches down but the third had gotten a hold of Brady. The others took care of the other two that were trying to escape, while Collin and I worked on trying to free his brother.
Brady's whole upper right side had been crushed. We had to rebreak and reset every major bone. He had been unconscious for a whole day. We had ended up telling their grandmother that he got into a car accident with Bella, since her truck had just dead the week before.
Afterwards the boys had been freaked out, and they wouldn't talk to anybody, but Bella, since she had been pretty beaten up herself in that ballet studio by the leech.
No one dared to tell Bella, that the group of vampires that attacked the boys was sent by Victoria. Her scent had been all over the leeches.
"Yeah, but I'm not actually related to them. This is their, actual, grandmother."
"So?" I asked.
"What if she doesn't like me?" Bella pouted.
I rolled my eyes, "Bella, she likes you. She probably thinks you're a good influence on the boys."
I chuckled, when Bella snorted, "How so?" She looked at me doubtfully.
"Bella, you're 20 years old. You are going to college and already have a successful business up and running. How many 20 year olds do you know that own their own business?" I quirked an eyebrow at her.
"I don't do it by myself. Its Emily's too. And it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the Elders." She mumbled.
"Exactly. The Elder's approve of you, so she does too. And Emily is not that much older than you Bella. She's 23. She's married to the Chief of the tribe and already has a baby on the way. Together you guys can win over any traditional Quileute Grandmother." I chuckled.
It was true. The traditional people in La Push probably wouldn't have accepted Bella, hadn't it been for the Elders. To the traditional old farts around here, what the Elder's say is law.
And they say Bella is good.
"Okay, I'm done with the pep talk. Let's head down stairs, I hear Sam and Emily coming up the driveway."
I offered her my hand, to help her up, and together we walked downstairs to our family.

~*~

I had been fighting a grin since Bella and I had come down the stairs and seen everyone all dressed up. Usually, on our Sunday's Family Night Dinner's we wore what we usually wore every day. We, wolves, would be shirtless and shoeless, with our cut off shorts; Leah would wear one of her dresses that she uses when she has to phase. Bella would be in shorts and a tank, while my mom, Sue, and Emily wore jeans and a t shirt, and Charlie would throw on whatever he found in his closet.
But, nope, not today. Today we were dressed to impress.
I couldn't help but chuckle as I watched Sue glare at Charlie. She looked like the regular Susie Homemaker, in her blue dress that had silver printing on it, and silver 'kitten heels' as my mom corrected me on moments ago. Charlie had decided to dress like he always did, hence the Sue-glare, he was wearing his brown, black, and white flannel shirt with a white under shirt, blue jeans, and his brown boots.
Over in the corner, was my mother giggling, as she murmured 'at least it's a clean shirt' to Sue. She was wearing a black skirt that went below her knees and a white button up short sleeve shirt, with her black and white 'kitten heels'.
Sam wasn't as dressed up as the rest of us, but he wasn't as off like Charlie was either. Emily had dressed him in a grey long sleeve shirt, jeans, and his brown boots. Emily looked as pretty as the other girls, in a cream long sleeve dress that came right above her knee, a brown belt going around her waist and brown boots that came to her knees.
"I need another beer. Fucking clothes." Sam grumbled, tugging on his sleeves. "You want something?"
I'd kill for a beer. "Sprite. Bella has some hidden in the back of the fridge." I said, seeing Charlie glare at me, probably thinking I'd ask for a beer.
Sam chuckled, and shook his head before disappearing into the kitchen. Sam, Charlie, Seth, and I were just sitting around the living room watching the game, as they girls finished off dinner. Sam came back a few minutes later and tossed the can of Sprite at my head, which I caught, mumbling 'asshole' under my breath.
"How did you know she had it hidden?" Sam asked opening his beer.
"She told me." I shrugged, "We both prefer Sprite. When Seth drinks all of his Dr. Pepper, he tends to get into Bella's stash, so she hides them for us."
Sam chuckled and went back to the game, while I dealt with a glaring Seth. The four us guys were joking around, shooting the shit, when the door bell rang and I heard Bella's sigh 'just in time' from the kitchen.
Sue sped walk to the front door, with Bella on her heels, and they answered the door. We heard the boys greet Bella and introduce their grandmother to Sue in the hallway, before they finally came into view.
Leading the group out of the hallway was Collin and Brady. Brady was wearing a white polo with black stripes, jeans, and what looked to be brand new white converses. Collin was wearing a green polo with white stripes, jeans, and he too looked like he got brand new black converses.
When Bella made her way to me, I shot her a pointed look between her and the shoes. She blushed and shrugged.
"They needed knew shoes." She mumbled.
"Right." I chuckled.
"What? I can't help it. Okay? I like buying them things. So shoot me. Oh, whatever. Hey! Mrs. Yuri, this is Paul Meraz and his mother Amy." Bella elbowed me during her rant before she beamed and introduced me to the boy's Grandmother.
"Please, child, call me Grandma Teresa."
The withered old lady smiled gently at Bella, before turning to me. She was wearing an orangish kind of dress that came down to her ankles, and had on a pair of orangish flats. Her hair was a little poufy, and was black, but a lot of grey streaks around it.
My nose twitched as an odd smell wafted off her, but I just brushed it off as her perfume or the old people smell. I smiled at her and offered my hand. She didn't seemed surprised by my heat, probably used the boys temperature.
"Okay, Dinners all ready, so let's eat, shall we?" Sue clapped, and led Grandma Teresa into the dining room.
I smiled and shook my head, as Brady threw his arm around Bella's shoulder and Collin grabbed her hand. They always had to have a hand on her. It was like she'd disappear if they didn't.
We all got into the large dining room. Sue had gotten Sam and some of us boys to add on to the house when Bella and Charlie had moved in. Seth's room, the guestroom downstairs and the dining room had been the new addition to the house.
Charlie took head of the dining table, while Sam took the other. Sue was to Charlie's left, with my mom on her other side, Leah was next to my mom, with Teresa on her right, and Emily in between Teresa and Sam. I sat to Sam's left, across from Emily, with Bella beside me, and Brady and Collin on her other side, while Seth sat between Collin and Charlie.
Dinner started off awkwardly, but I couldn't help but smile little as I watched Teresa watch Bella with a gentle smile. Bella wasn't paying anyone any attention because it was all focused on Brady and Collin, as she helped them set their plates up. The boys weren't paying attention to anyone either, as they regaled Bella about a video game they had played earlier, while Bella listened with a mother's patient ear.
"So, Teresa, I heard you went by the girls' diner yesterday." Sue spoke up.
And that seemed to break the tension, as Teresa complimented Emily and Bella on their business. Both girls blushed and said quiet 'thank you's'.
"It's really a family business; I guess you can call it." Bella said.
"How so?" Grandma Teresa asked.
"Well, we may own the diner, but it's really the boys who work there, that keep it running." Bella chuckled, "I'm sure you've heard Collin and Brady talk about the other boys that help Sam out with council business?" Bella smiled, as Teresa nodded.
"Well, they don't get paid for what they do for the council, so when Emily and I opened Young Swan Diner, we hired them all. They get flexible hours, so if Sam has to call them in for something the council needs, they're able to go without anyconsequences, and they'll still get paid for the work they've done. All the boys are like family to us, and we take care of family." Bella and Teresa shared a smile.
"And what kind of work do the boys do for the council?"
Everyone's forks stilled and their hearts stuttered, but it was much too fast for a human to catch. Sam and I shared a look before he turned to Teresa.
"Different things. Most of the time the council needs us to do security, but we also do some construction. Just last November we had to repair the rec's roof." Sam nodded.
"The boys even helped build this dining room." Charlie smiled, as he knocked on the dining room table.
Sue quickly changed the subject. And we found out the Teresa used to be a school teacher at the Hoh rez and here in La Push before she retired. She had been born in La Push, but her parents had moved her to the Hoh reservation to live with a sick relative when she was a teenager. She went to college in Olympia and married a Quileute man, who she met when she visited La Push during one of her spring breaks. They moved to the Hoh reservation to be next to her mother, and when she passed, Teresa and her husband packed up their son and moved back to La Push. Where he son, met and married his wife, and had Collin and Brady. When the Twin's parents had gotten into a car accident, Teresa had taken them in.
We were sitting around having desert, my favorite, Bella's homemade Cherry Pie, when it happened and I realized what that off smell I got earlier from Teresa was.
As she coughed something horrible into her napkin, her scent was more prominent and wafted around the dining room. The twin's clenched their eyes shut tightly, as mine, Seth's, and Sam's eyes widened. Leah seeing our reaction took a long discrete sniff and made a sympathetic noise in the back of her throat.
Bella's eyes snapped to mine. They were full of questions.
How was I going to tell her?
How was I going to tell her that the woman she was desperately trying to impress was…
Oh, God.
I blinked and looked away from her chocolate eyes.
I don't know how I was going to tell her, but I knew I had to though. Because…
Grandma Teresa smelled of death.
AN: Mmm.... What's going to happen?
Anyway, I felt like this chapter was shit, really, but i promise next chapter will be better.
If you guys want to know who I chose as 'Grandma Teresa' and see the profiles, check out the links on my profile.
I'd really love some good reviews!
