Bella's POV

I heard the music and laughter walking up to the familiar red house. Standing back and watching my surroundings, I couldn't help but feel peace.

"Bella."

"Uncle Billy!" I said running into his waiting arms causing his wheelchair to roll back a few inches.

"Glad you could make it over hunny. We were getting ready to make one of the guys come over and drag you out."

"Aww how sweet. I just wanted to make a couple pies before I came over. By the way they ate last night I kind of figured the more food the better."

"So true. Well, why don't you head over and make your presence known."

"Sure. We'll catch up later." I said standing myself up and heading towards the group of men.

"Look who finally showed up. Come on Bells there's a couple of people you still need to meet."

"Alright, just let me put these pies down Em." I said walking towards the picnic table that was covered in food.

Walking back over to Embry he grabbed my hand.

Flashback

"I'm not sure about this, maybe we should just go to dinner."

"Oh, I'm positive about this."

End Flashback.

"Bells…..Bells….You still with us?"

"Huh…oh…yeah….sorry." I said dropping my hand from his.

"I thought we lost you there for a second. What's on your mind."

"Nothing. Just thinking. Now where are these two you wanted me to meet." I was trying to change the subject before he started asking to many questions.

"Right….. Umm over here." He said. I followed him over to the group of people standing together in the back yard.

"Leigh…..Hey Leigh?" Pulling her attention away from the guys and turning around, I started feeling a little inadequate. She was beautiful. She stood about 5'11, 5 inches taller than me.

"Hey, you must be Bella."

"Um. Yeah. It's nice to meet you." I said holding my hand out, which she took quickly.

"Well its nice to have another girl around. There's only a few of us to keep all these idiots in place." She said laughing. She was easy to be around and conversation flowed smoothly for the next few minutes.

"Bella I'd like you to meet Paul". Jacob said coming up on my right.

When I turned to look at him, something clicked and time stopped. I felt as if I was being pulled to him. Like for some reason, I needed to get to know this man. I needed to be near him.

"Fuck." I heard from somewhere behind me, snapping me out of my trance.

"Umm. Its nice to meet you Paul."

"Likewise. I've heard a lot about you Bella. These dicks haven't shut up about you since you came home." Waving his arms around.

For some reason or another, I was lost. Lost in his chocolate covered eyes. Taking my chances I began taking him in. He had short black hair that seemed to go where it wanted in some places. Sliding my gaze downward. He didn't have a shirt on. God what is it with these men and walking around half dressed. His chest was well defined and he had a stomach that most models would kill to have.

"See something you like."

Damn I was caught. Turning around quickly I started to make my way back to the house. I had to get out of here. I couldn't do this again.

"Uncle Billy I'm not feeling to good. I think I'm going to go home and get some sleep. I'll stop by later if I'm feeling better." I said, hoping that I can make it out of there before to many questions were asked.

"OK hunny, I'll let everyone know. You probably just got a good case of jet-lag. I'll see you later."

Quickly giving him a hug and a quick kiss on his cheek, I walked at a quick pace to the front of the house, once I got there I picked up pace and jogged home to my sanity. What the hell is wrong with me. I kept thinking to myself over and over again.

Paul POV

Patrol was getting worse and worse. What the hell's the point in being a shape shifter if you never have a fucking leech around to kill.

Leigh and I had patrol last night and by the time I got home I fell into bed and let the exhaustion overtake me.

"Paul…..Paul….Hey fucker get your ass up." I jumped up quickly when I felt a bucket of cold ass water being poured over my head. Jared

"What the fuck man."

"I've been trying to get your ass up for about ten minutes now. I had to take drastic measures man."

"Why the hell did you try to wake me up in the first place. You know I had patrol last night. Shit."

"We have the barbeque today. I thought you might like to get your ass out of bed if you wanted to eat. You know how they are." Hell yeah I knew how they were. I showed up about 3 hours late to the last one, and there was no food to be found anywhere.

"Alright, alright…I'll be down in a few."

Jumping out of bed I grabbed a pair of clean cutoffs from the basket off the floor. And ran down stairs.

"Nice to join the living." Seth said throwing one of the pillows that found residence in my living room at my head.

"Yeah, Yeah lets get over to Billy's, I need to eat."

"Hey, Bella's coming over today right?" Collin said.

"Who's Bella?"

"Charlie's daughter, she came home last night and I guess she's staying. Man you should see her."

Just then we made our way around the back of Billy's place. Most of the pack was wrestling. Emily and Kim were at the grill. But I noticed that Jake, Embry and Quil were in some form of deep conversation, apart from the rest of the guys. Making my way over I picked up on a couple things they were saying.

"Man she's a lot different than when she left." Embry said.

"Of course she is dumb ass, she isn't 13 anymore. She's hot as fuck now…" Ah Quil.

"Something happened to her though. Charlie told me that the last few times he went to see her, she seemed cut-off. Out of it I guess. He wont tell me what, Hell I don't even think he knows, but we've got to keep an eye on her."

Jake's speech caught my attention and I figured now was a good a time as any to make my presence known.

"Hey fuckers, who's this Bella I keep hearing about?"

"An old friend of ours. Her mother up and left Charlie 5 years ago, dragging Bella with her. She came home last night." Quil said.

"Well is she coming by today?"

"She said she'd come, we'll give her a little while longer and if she hasn't showed we'll go get her." Jake said.

Just then I turned to see Billy with a goddess looking woman sitting in his lap.

"Oh wait. Never mind, she's here." Said Embry

"That's Bella. You guys have been holding the fuck out."

"Shut the fuck up man, she's not like that. Don't let me find out she's next on the list of Fucked by Paul Meraz." Jacob said punching me in my shoulder.

"We'll see." I whispered low enough for anyone to hear.

When she got up from Billy's lap, Embry ran over.

"Look who finally showed up, come on there's still a few people you need to meet." He said.

"Alright, just let me go put these pies down." She said walking over to the picnic table and setting them down. She turned around and started walking back over to Embry. He reached out and grabbed her had and she instantly froze. She seemed locked into some sort of trace. Em was trying to snap her out of it.

"Bells…..Bells….You still with us?" He said. Just then her head snapped back up.

"Huh…oh…yeah….sorry." She quickly dropped his hand. Huh.

"I thought we lost you there for a second. What's on your mind."

"Nothing. Just thinking. Now where are these two you wanted me to meet." And they started walking over to where Leigh was standing.

"See I told you something happened to her. Did you see how she just zoned when Embry grabbed her hand. They always used to hold hands." Jake said.

"Yeah but we aren't going to know until she says something Jake. Don't push her. You know how she is. It'll only make it worse." Coming from Quil.

"Yeah, your right. Anyways, come on Paul I guess it's time for you to meet her. Just please don't fuck with her. I have a feeling something bad happened and I don't need her running away."

"No problem Jake, lead the way."

We started across the yard to where Leigh and Bella were standing. Jake walking a few steps in front of me. He walked up to her and tapped her on her right shoulder.

"Bella, I'd like you to meet Paul."

She turned around and locked eyes with me. My world stopped. Gravity was replaced with her. I was drawn to her. Oh fuck I just imprinted.

"Fuck", Embry said, who was standing behind her. He knew from the look on my face what had just happened.

"Umm. Its nice to meet you Paul."

"Likewise. I've heard a lot about you Bella. These dicks haven't shut up about you since you came home." I said waving my arms around to the pack of oversized boys.

When I looked back at her I noticed that she was checking me out.

Hell yeah, I was being eye fucked by Bella Swan. This will be easier than I thought.

"See something you like." I tried making a joke, letting her know she was busted. I had never seen anyone blush as hard as this woman standing in front of me. All to quickly she spun on her heals, and went back over to Billy. A couple minutes later she was walking back around to the front of the house.

"What the hell just happened?" I said to no one in particular.

"She said she wasn't feeling well and needed to get home. She said if she was feeling better later, she would be back out." Billy said.

Just then Sam walked up to me with a big shit eating grin on his face.

"Well looks like later on we'll be having a bonfire."

He turned his attention to Jake then.

"If she doesn't come back in a couple hours, would you mind going down to her house and seeing if she would like to come out to the cliffs for a bonfire tonight?"

"Yeah, no problem Sam." He replied.

Well. One way or another my fucked up world is about to change.

Should I keep this going….Let me know.
