FYI Paul and Bella don't get along two much it's explained but I just wanted to give you a warning.

Chapter 3. I Hate you too

Hate isn't the end of a relationship it is the beginning of one

"So you are really good with weird." Emily said as I began to peel a batch of potatoes. At first, I would have sworn it was a question until she smiled endearingly at me.

"That's an understatement. Although I guess, you could say the same about you. Since your Sam's fiancé I would have figured he told you about his uh…extra curricular activates." I chuckled.

"Yeah, I guess so. It would have been hard to keep that type of secret without someone getting hurt." she laughed but there was no humor in it.

"I'm sorry I wasn't even-"

"It wasn't your fault Bella you needn't apologize. What happened to my face was unfortunate but we had already imprinted so it wasn't like I was looking for Mr. Right anymore since I already had him." she said smiling.

"Imprint?"

"it's a wolfs way of alerting him he has found his soul mate, he is what ever she wants him to be but normally they wind up lovers."

"Sounds romantic."

"It is, it happens when you look into there eyes. Sam told me it's like there is nothing else holding them to the world but that person who not only has his heart but his mind and body. For me though it was as if I was melting into his eyes. I couldn't stop looking at him. It was like if I looked long enough-

"You could see his soul." I whispered effectively cutting her off.

It was then that a million bells went off in both of our heads. It was Paul that day in this very kitchen. Paul imprinted on me.

"Bella who…who was it?" she asked me wearily.

"P-Paul." I said trying to mull over how this could have possibly happened. After that day, Paul had been going out of his way to avoid me and when we were in some type of contact, either we would argue or he would tease me. "That can't be possible we don't even like each other."

"Obviously you do or it wouldn't have been you. But then again it works in different ways."

I was about to speak when I was cut off by the sound of some very obnoxious boys rough housing as they made there way in the door.

"Smells good in here girls, if I would have known that putting you two in the kitchen together would have this type of result then I would have invited you over sooner." Sam said smiling completely oblivious to what was going on. I was content to just let it be and ignore it as if we had been doing until Emily tensed when Sam kissed her. "What's wrong."

"Nothing" I said a little too quickly. Shit bella think. "I left something at the house I-"

"Bells what's wrong?" Jake asked concerned.

"I don't know I guess all of this is starting to catch up to me." I said gesturing to the group of werewolves surrounding me. It wasn't a complete lie but it wasn't the sole reason why I was acting strange.

"Oh that's perfectly understandable, I was waiting for it to hit you."

"yeah I bet-" I stopped short when Paul emerged through the doorway and it was as if everyone parted so I could get a painful look at the bronzed half clothed body that was now 6 feet away. "I was really looking forward to this but I think I should leave." I said mainly to Emily but I wanted the rest to know as well.

"But bells we were looking forward to messing with you, I mean you don't even know all the legends about us." Embry said.

I'm not sure why but this comment angered me, of course I didn't know them all but I knew the one about them having a pack mind so they must have all known Paul imprinted on me. None of them told me. "I know enough Embry, enough to know that you've been keeping something from me."

"Bells what are you talking about" Jacob asked.

"Why didn't any of you tell me, I looked like a fool for weeks trying to figure out why someone who already didn't like me began to torment me even more?" I said staring daggers at him.

"How…how did you find out?" Sam barked.

"It was me, we were talking and I assumed Jacob told her everything, so when I said something about the imprint she asked and I didn't know that she was an imprint Sam."

"How could you Emily that was for him to tell." Sam Roared.

"Oh shove it, he wouldn't have told me and I'm glad she did even though she didn't know until I knew the feeling." I said wiping my hands on a towel and throwing it at Sam on my way out the door.

"Bella wait." Paul ordered. I spun on my heal not able to resist his order.

"You're ordering me around now? I've had enough of being told what I can and can't do; I'm not going to be told by you too." I said turning again.

"Damn it I said wait." he yelled.

"Make me Paul," I said walking again this time there was an undeniable pain in my chest the further away from him I got. I didn't realize that he had started to pursue me again until he caught my arm and swung me towards him. "I can't do this again, I didn't have a choice the fist time and I just can't do this again Paul," I cried.

The only comfort he offered as allowing me to cry but his next words hurt me more than they would have before tonight. "You think that I want this. You think I want to be bound for life to a clingy leech loving brat who only thinks about her self?" it was at that moment that my tears instantly stopped.

"You know what Paul, Imprint be damned, I don't need you I don't need anybody. You can go to hell."

"Well I'm glad we can agree on something." he said letting me go.

My heart hurt but I refused to give into the pain that I was feeling, I wasn't going to let it happen a second time. When his skin left mine I tore off in the direction of my house not even bothered to stop and get my truck I just needed to be gone.
