Chapter 4- Date Night Confessions

Alyssa stood in front of the mirror the next morning and thought to herself "You can do this Alyssa, he's not one of your mother's Johns, he's not your father. Keep telling yourself this and everything will be all right" She went into Bella's room and sat on the bed with a loud sigh. Bella stopped what she was doing and came to sit on the bed beside her. "What's wrong Ally Cat?" Bella asked and Alyssa hesitated before saying "Bells, I don't think I can do this." She looked down and felt the beginning of a panic attack coming on before Bella said "Oh Ally Cat, I'm sure Paul will understand if you want to cancel." Alyssa looked up because even though she was scared to DEATH to get close to a man for fear that she would get hurt again, she just couldn't for the life of her say "No" to this man. "Bells, I want to go. I mean I am scared to death but I feel oddly drawn to Paul Hach" Alyssa said and Bella flashed a knowing smile and said "I know what you mean there" She wrapped her arms around Alyssa and said "I can tell he really likes you." "Bells, tell me about Paul." Alyssa said and Bella sighed and then began "Paul is sweet when he wants to be and VERY funny." she said "But I have to admit that he can be a bit of a hot head" Alyssa froze at that, she had ENOUGH of hot heads for 10 lifetimes. "Ally Cat before you get worried, I have only had one confrontation with Paul and it was right before Jacob and I got together. He would never hit a woman he was raised not to. In fact Paul DEPISES any man that will, he made a comment one time that if he heard of it or saw it he would kill the man on the SPOT" Bella said and then continued "Ally with your situation and all he will protect you with everything in him. And I have to admit I have seen Paul with a few women but you are the first woman he has actually LOOKED at the way he looks at you, gotta admit it's refreshing to see Paul finally find a girl that is worth sticking around for" Alyssa blushed all shades of red before she said "Bells, I don't want to get hurt again. After my dad and the Johns I don't think I can go through it again". Bella wrapped her arms tighter around Alyssa and said "Trust me when I say this because I know a few things about Paul and the other Quileute boys…he would NEVER do anything to hurt you. He would rather DIE." Alyssa felt herself relax until she saw the time was 5 pm.

"Oh SHIT!" Alyssa said jumping up "Paul's going to be here at 7 and I have NO CLUE what to wear" Bella laughed at Alyssa as she frantically rummaged through her clothes holding up this and that to herself in the full length mirror. "I'll help, I happen to know a bit about what goes through the mind of a w-I mean Quileute." Bella said stopping herself before she said something. Alyssa brushed it off and let Bella dress her and do her hair and makeup before she looked at herself in the full length mirror. Alyssa looked like a different person to herself and she liked it. She liked the glow in her cheeks when she smiled, she liked that she no longer had to hade what god gave her and she surely liked the way that the low cut top and jeans fit her curves just perfectly. Alyssa's friend back home had begged her to show off the "coke bottle figure" that the good lord gave her but she never could because of things at home, that didn't stop her now.

She continued getting ready and at 630 the door bell rang. Bella ran down to get the door as Alyssa did the finishing touches on her makeup making sure that all bruises and scars were covered. She headed downstairs to see that Paul had arrived 30 minutes early for there date. Alyssa froze at the top of the stairs because at the bottom no longer stood the half dressed man that was at the bonfire. Instead stood a very handsome man in a white button up shirt and a pair of jeans. He looked up at her in amazement as a smiled played on his lips. He walked to the staircase just as Alyssa got to the bottom step and took her hand. "Hello Beautiful" he said with a grin and Alyssa blushed at the comment because she never had anyone call her beautiful before. "I know I am early but I just got excited to see you and couldn't wait any longer" he said making Alyssa blush even deeper. "You ready to go?" he asked and when Alyssa nodded he took her hand and lead her out to his car.

On the drive to Port Angeles Paul asked her "So, Lyssa baby. Do you mind if I call you that?", "Sure" she said with a shy smile, "What do you like to do for fun?" he asked and she looked down before saying "I like playing video games" and Paul's eyes lit up before he said "Really? A girl true to my heart!" and Alyssa blushed again before saying "Yeah I love to play Madden, Socom multiplayer, Halo and UFC 2010." and he said "WOW! Those are my favorites as well" and Alyssa laughed before saying "Yeah Bella told me before we even met that I would have a hard time keeping you, Jake and Embry out of my room playing the Xbox when we bought it." and he said "Sounds like fun we should do that sometime!" and Alyssa admitted "I'll be honest Paul, I'd rather do that than go to a movie". Paul laughed and said "Lyssa, baby we can do whatever you want to do I just mentioned a movie because it was the first date idea that popped into my head and I wanted to take you out" Alyssa blushed and said "Let's just go eat, I'm starving and we'll go from there".

A few minutes later Paul pulled into a nice Italian place and parked. He walked out and before Alyssa even had a chance to gather her thoughts he was at her side opening the door for her like a perfect gentleman. "Thank you Paul, that was sweet of you" she said with a smile, "My mom always taught me to be the perfect gentleman when it comes to ladies, I admit I can be a bit rough around the edges at times but I believe that women are too precious to take for granted." he said and Alyssa blushed. She put her arm through his as they walked into the restaurant and told the hostess they wanted a table for 2. The hostess lead them to a dimly lit corner and Paul pulled out Alyssa's chair before taking his own seat. Alyssa could get used to this kind of thing because she knew that guys like Paul were far and few in between. A few minutes later a man came to their table and said "Bonjourno my name is Antonio, I will be your waiter this evening can I start by taking your drink orders?" and as if reading each other's minds both Paul and Alyssa said "Dr Pepper" at the exact same time causing them both to laugh. The waiter left the table and Paul said "SO! Lyssa, you like Dr Pepper as well I see?" and Alyssa giggled and nodded her head. "I swear Lyssa it's scary how much we have in common" he said "I'll be honest with you we may have more than what you think." he said and Alyssa looked at him questioningly and he said "I mean, I don't know what happened in your past and quite frankly I wouldn't think of you any different if I knew what hurt you so bad but I will never force you to relive that pain if you don't want to, I am sure that if you want me to know you will tell me" Alyssa nodded and Paul continued "The reason I said that we may have a lot more in common than you think is because I too have a somewhat troubled childhood and home life. Not a lot of people know why I am such a hot head other than my brothers down in La Push but I want you to know all of me, and maybe one day I can know all of you." She nodded again before he said "OK! My father was a very bad and very violent drunk when I was a child and he always used to brat my mother and I up every chance he got, even when he was sober. My mother, being the good woman that she is, took it every time and forgave him every time. One day however, after years of the torture my mother grew tired of the constant abuse that we both had to endure and that night she decided she just couldn't take it anymore. She sent me to go spend the night at Jared's and so I did. The next day I went home and saw my mother being hauled away in handcuffs with few hand prints on her face and arms and my father was laying sprawl out face down on the floor. I ran to see my mother before they took her away and all she said was 'Paulie, I love you and that nasty man will never hurt us again'." To avoid going to foster care Sam and Emily invited me into their home until I found my own place and my mother is up at Washington State doing 20 to life for premeditated murder." he said and started tearing up as he continued "Even though my mother is in prison and my father is dead by her hand I do not blaim her for what happened nor do I look down on her for what she did nor where she is right now." Alyssa wiped away a few tears from her eyes before saying "Do you ever talk to her?" and Paul replied "All the time, I go to see her every chance I get which unfortunately has dwindled down to once or twice a month up in Seattle and we write letters all the time. Lyssa she would love you", "I'd like to meet her some day" she said, "You would?" he said shocked by her words, "Yes I would. I do not look down on people for doing the right thing. Nor do I look down on people because they are in jail for doing the right thing. She seems like a great woman and she is obviously very dear to you." she said and Paul nodded.

They finished their food and they both agreed to go back to Alyssa's house to play the Xbox. On the drive back it was Alyssa who broke the silence "I was raped" she said quietly, "What?" Paul said in shock, "You wanted to know why I was hurting and I feel comfortable around you, even more so now that you let me see into your mind." she said and then continued "From the time I was 5 years old my father would go to work every day and my mother would turn tricks to get whatever her lasted drug fix was. I would always go to school and then come home to have some weird Tom Dick or Harry in my house having sex with my mother for either money or drugs. The first time it happened a man came in and after he was done with my mother he threw more money at her and told her he wanted me. I don't know why but my mother went along with it and let him rape me. My mother always made sure that her Johns were out of the house by the time my father got home because he was a bit of the jealous type." Alyssa began to cry as she continued "He always announced his presence with slamming the front door and yelling up the stairs "ALYSSA YOU STUPID BITCH COME GET ME A BEER" and I always did just that." She felt the car slow to a stop on the side of the road as Paul pulled her into him holding her close as she continued. "If I didn't do something to his liking he would always make me pay for it by punching me or kicking me until I was almost unconscious at times. He's broken my nose multiple times, broken my arm, leg, dislocated my spine, jaw, busted my lip broken a few teeth and even put me in intensive care twice. That wasn't even the half of it. After the beating ended he always told me to go up to my room to wait for him and when he came up he would rape me. This was a daily occurrence around my house and he always told me before leaving that if I ever told a soul what he did to me he would slit my throat. I never told a soul. Well my mother continued to sell me to her Johns and I took it because I didn't want anything bad to happen to me. Well I started stealing money out of my mother's secret stash she got from turning tricks and hid it in the floor board of my room until I had enough to escape. I had my friend get her brother to whip up a batch of borium hydrochloride which knocks out it's victims and paralyzes them for 3 hours and had another friend drive me to the airport. And now here I am, in your arms crying my eyes out about a past I wish I could forget but that you deserve to know about if I ever decide to shut you out for any reason" Alyssa said.

Paul sat there in his car holding her close as she continued to cry letting everything that she had told him sink in before he said "Lyssa, baby" He pulled her chin up to look at him and wiped the tears from her eyes before continuing "Lyssa, I would never do anything to hurt you and I may not be able to give you much but I can promise that NO ONE will ever hurt you again, even if I have to die protecting you I will. I want you in my life, issued and all and I promise you that we will get through this together if you will have me," he said and Alyssa cried even harder at his words but she realized as she looked into his deep brown eyes that he meant every word of what he said and for that she cried tears of joy. She leaned up and put her hand on his face and noticed that he was really hot and said "Paul, honey are you feeling ok? You are burning up." and he laughed before saying "Sorry Lyssa, I should have warned you that I am VERY hot natured." She giggled and then leaned in and kissed him with every ounce of passion in her. As she kissed him she felt every hurt melt away and it was just them.

After a night of confessions and cries they headed back to Charlie's house and went up to her bedroom to settle in and play Xbox which they were both happy to do. After few games of UFC Paul said "DAMN Lyssa you kicked my ass" and Alyssa giggle before giving him a quick peck on the lips and standing up to put Halo in. Paul wrapped him arms around her waist and pulled him into her and kissed her passionately before she changed out the discs and she heard a cat call from the door way. "Seems you two have hit if off pretty well I see" said a male voice. Both Alyssa and Paul looked to see Jacob and Bella standing in the hallway laughing. Alyssa turned all shades of red before finally inviting them in to play with them.

After beating both Jacob and Paul multiple times at Halo and watching Paul lay the smack down on Jacob at Madden, Alyssa and Bella walked the boys to the door and before Paul left Alyssa wrapped her arms around him and gave him a kiss on the lips before saying "Thank you Paul, I had a great time tonight". He said "Can I see you again tomorrow? We're going over to Sam and Emily's for a cook out and I was wondering if you wanted to join us." Alyssa smiled and said "You know it" before kissing him one last time and saying good night.

Alyssa went to her bedroom and began getting ready for bed when she heard a knock at the door. She opened it to see Bella standing in the doorway. "So, what do you think?" Bella asked and Alyssa smiled before saying "Bells, Paul is AMAZING! I really like him." and Bella laughed before saying "I can tell.", "Bells, he told me about why he is so bitter and about his mom and dad. I told him about what happened to me as well." she said and Bella was shocked "What did he say?" and Alyssa smiled and said "He held me close the entire time I told him and he said that he would die trying to protect me and that if I would have him we will work through out pain together. I told him that I was his." and Bella let out a sigh of relief before saying "I'm glad because honestly Ally Cat, It is good to see that Paulie is the one to FINALLY get you to smile and live again." And Alyssa sighed and said "And Bella I know it's only been one date but I think that I am falling for him for doing just that." Bella let out and laugh and Alyssa said "I know it sounds crazy but Paul is different from any guy I have ever met, I feel connected to him somehow…it's as if I have not known him only a couple of days but that I have known him my whole life and when I look into his eyes I see that he feel the same about me and I can also see that everything is going to be all right." Bella smiled and said "You are not crazy, you my dear sweet Ally Cat are experiencing TRUE love at first sight, embrace it don't shy away from it" It was as if Bella knew something that Alyssa did not but she didn't question it she just said "Thank you Bells for introducing me to such a man. I'm going to catch some shut eye now, I love you Bells" Bella walked over and gave Alyssa a hug and said "Good night Ally Cat, I love you too and just remember that and that everything will be better now…I PROMISE!" Bella left the room and Alyssa yet again smiled and drifted off to sleep thinking about Paul.
