Hey everyone I always seem to be apologising for late updates I do try and do them as soon as I can but you all know how it is life gets majorly in the way. Hope this chap makes up for the continued lateness.
Bella and Paul sat in silence in the car as the sped their way into forks and Angela's house Paul could hear Bella's heart race faster and faster the further into Fork's they went.
He knew why he could smell the leaches everywhere here they soon pulled up outside Angela's house and just like Angela had said Embry was sat on his car calmly waiting.
Eric was stood on the porch with Paul was guessing Angela's dad whispering to each other completely unaware that Embry and Paul could hear everything. Bella and Paul approached Embry and stopped in their tracks as they noticed another person on the porch.
"Edward?" said Bella Embry nodded "Yep he has been here for awhile now he has strangely been defending me not a lot but a little" Bella couldn't believe her ears.
She squeezed Paul's hand and looked him in the eye he knew what she was about to do and even though he didn't like it he still nodded his consent.
Bella slowly approached the three men Eric looked at Bella with slight panic in his eyes whilst Angela's dad greeted her warmly. "Bella it's good to see you been too long" he said whilst he pulled her into a one arm hug which she awkwardly returned.
"Yeah I'm sorry I haven't been by have been meaning too but had a lot on you know" she said keeping a careful eye on Edward he stood stoic behind Angela's dad not giving anything away.
Angela's dad nodded and then looked behind her to scowl at Embry Bella followed his gaze and sighed.
"I've come to see Angela sir may I?" she asked he returned her gaze and smiled and nodded she walked quickly past Edward not giving him a glance and racing up the stairs.
She found Angela sat on her window seat locking eyes with Embry she turned when Bella entered and sighed.
"Oh Bella what am I gonna do" she cried as she wrapped her arms around Bella who held her just as tight. Bella didn't mutter a word simply held her as she cried then once she finished she took Angela's hand and led her downstairs and out to her father.
Embry and Paul immediately stood up Embry yearned to go to her but Paul held him back he knew what Embry desired but he also knew it wouldn't help right now.
"Angela get back inside" ordered her father Angela stood behind Bella gripping her hand tightly. "Sir please listen …" started Bella but Angela's father shook his head in anger.
"No Bella if you are with that boy then I will not listen to a word you say, THAT boy will come nowhere near my daughter" he said with such venom. Bella sighed 'this will be harder than I thought' she thought to herself she looked around she could see Embry dying to come to Angela the pull of the imprint was strong and knowing your imprint was unhappy was hurting him even more.
Before Bella could say anything futhur Edward stepped forward "sir if I may Embry is not many of the things Eric is making him out to be the one that you should be wary of is standing next to him".
"WHAT!" came a chorus of voices from Angela, Bella and Paul himself all turned to him whilst Angela's dad looked between Edward and Paul he wasn't exactly fond of Edward but he had never heard anything bad about him so he could decide who to believe.
Paul stepped forward "if you have a problem with me Cullen why don't you come down here and say it to my face" he challenged Bella saw him stare intently at Edward no doubt a few images in his mind as well.
Whatever he showed Edward worked Edward charged down thankfully in human speed and faced up to Paul 'oh great we come down here to help Angela and they start' she groaned.
Angela's dad was about to storm down there and split the two up when Embry to his surprise stepped up in-between them and pushed the two apart.
"No Paul stop this will help no one back off and Edward you have no idea who Paul is or what he is about so keep your mouth shut" Angela's dad was actually impressed with how he defended his friend.
"Edward stop it!" called Bella "that's enough why don't you act your age and stop being a spoiled brat I choose Paul long before you and I ever met I had just forgotten" she all but screamed at him.
Edward fumed before walking away to his car and speeding off Bella sighed before giving Paul a small smile and then turning to Eric who all this time just stood dumbfounded next to Angela's father.
"Now Eric what lies have you been telling Angela's dad about Embry" she accused everyone turned to Eric who stood awkwardly gulping. Bella sighed again obviously the coward wasn't gonna come clean so it was up to her.
"Sir what Eric has told you about Embry not all of it's true yes he hangs around with Sam and Paul but they are no more a gang then me and Angela are and yes he did kiss her infront of school but that wasn't what it seemed" she started.
"Eric dumped Angela harshly at school a few days ago when she went to his house after woods he was kissing some other girl she came to me and the guys offered to beat him up for her but instead I thought of a plan Embry came to school and acted like he was in love with Angela to show Eric that he had lost something great" Angela blushed at the memory.
Eric gawped at Bella "that was all show I knew it" he said as if he had just figured out the most important question in the world. Bella scowled "yes Eric when he came to school and did all that it was at first for show but now thanks to you she has found a true man that will never hurt her the way you did".
Angela's dad turned to Eric "get off of my property before I do something I regret" Eric scampered away as fast as he could falling down a few times along the way first causing everyone to laugh.
Angela's dad walked to Embry and clamped a hand on his shoulder "I am sorry son" Embry nodded Angela's dad moved aside to allow his daughter to tightly hug Embry something that she wasn't used to doing in public but she somehow needed to for herself and him.
"Take good care of my daughter Embry or so help me" he said which cause Angela to turn bright red "I will sir" Embry said holding tightly onto Angela.
"So sir is she still grounded or can Ange come with me to have a girls night with another friend of mine a complete girls night no boys" asked Bella Angela looked in hope at her father using her best puppy dog face.
