BELLA'S POV

After Paul threw James' head across the field I barreled over laughing. In a way I kind of felt a little sorry for him…kind of. I definitely didn't expect to be sitting at a football game watching overgrown werewolves and vampires chase the screaming "ball" around the field. And he was screaming. At one point Emmett even held him by the ears for another kick off. I'm sure if Rose could cry she would be too. We were holding onto each other for support.

When the game was over the guys built a small fire on each side of the field.

"What are you doing now?" I asked.

"Soccer." Jake said laughing.

"You don't have any nets." I said chuckling.

"That's the point of the fire Bells…come on catch up. Obviously the fires are the goals."

It took me a minute for me to catch up, but when the guys started running down the field kicking James around and towards the fire I caught on. Jasper won the game when Alice couldn't block the kick and purple smoke rose from behind her. After another round of laughter everyone started heading towards Rose and me.

"Was that okay hun?" Paul said grabbing my hands and pulling me up.

"I loved it…couldn't be better."

"You ready to go back to my place?" He asked.

"Yeah…I really need to check on Brady."

"What happened anyways?" He asked.

"Phil called from Phoenix, said that mom got into a car accident and didn't make it, I broke down, Brady helped me, and then there was a knock at the door. I thought it was the pizza guy, but it was James. He said that I tasted better than mom. Collin pulled me away from the door, and the next thing I know Brady's flying through the door." I said tearing up again.

"Aw hun, its okay." He said pulling me into a hug, rubbing my back in soothing circles.

"What about the Cullen's?" I asked after a few minutes.

"What about them?"

"I want them to be able to come over. They helped out a lot. They deserve to be there too." I said.

"Hold on a sec." He gave me a quick kiss on my forehead and than walked over to Sam.

They were speaking for a few minutes, and then they broke apart. Sam cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"I just wanted to thank the Cullen's for there support the last couple of days. We were able to get James because of you Jasper." He said turning to him. "And we are very grateful for that. Because of recent events, I have decided to dissolve the treaty. As long as you continue to feed the way you do, you are welcome on the rez. But I must add that if there is a slip up, and you bite a human, we will have to take measures to make sure it never happens again." Everyone was beyond excited, as we headed back to Paul's house.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

When we made it to the front of the house, I quickly released Paul and ran through the front door, and up to the spare bedroom where Brady was. Slamming the door open, I saw Brady laying down watching T.V.

"Brady what the hell was that today?" I asked. "You know you could have been killed?"

"It doesn't matter Bella. Its over with. Nothing happened."

"Nothing happened….look at you…your all banged up, shit this would never have happened if you didn't have to watch me." I said sitting beside him on the bed, my head in my hands.

"Bella, I would do it all over again if I had too." He said pulling me down to lay beside him.

"Fuck Brady, you could have been a lot worse."

"Watch your mouth Bella." He said to me chuckling.

"Yeah, yeah. I suppose I should go talk to your father. Tell him you're a little messed up."

"He doesn't know I'm a wolf Bella."

"It's okay. I wont tell him Brady."

"He'll probably kick me out." He said sitting up and looking down in his lap.

"Why would he kick you out?" I asked.

"Because he said the next time I screwed up that I would have to find somewhere else to stay."

"What do you mean the next time you screwed up?" I was confused, Brady was a good kid… who made good grades at school. He never got into any trouble.

"With patrol, and coming home late, or leaving for no reason, he thinks I'm a trouble maker. This will only drive him over the edge. He said before that he didn't want me hanging out with all the older guys, but he wont say anything to Sam. He goes along with Sam, when he talks to him because he's technically the chief. He doesn't want to cross him."

I was starting to get a little upset. I've never actually met there dad, but I've heard before that he was a major hard ass.

"I'll be back Brady. Why don't you get some rest." I said standing and walking to the door.

Walking downstairs quickly I made it to the living room. Everyone was sitting around playing video games.

"Collin…lets go." I said walking to him and grabbing his hand.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"For a walk….don't argue."

He looked at me funny for a few minutes, and then followed me out the door.

When we made it to his house he hesitated for a few.

"What are we doing Bee." He asked

"I just wanted to tell you father that Brady got hurt today."

"This isn't going to go well."

"It doesn't matter. Lead the way Collin." I said stepping aside so he could walk in front of me.

When we made it into his house I followed Collin into the living room where an elderly lady was sitting on the couch and a very stern looking man sitting in a chair off to the side.

"Dad…there's someone here to see you." Collin said as we made it to the middle of the living room.

I walked up to him and reached my hand out, hoping he would take it, but he didn't. Ass.

"Hello sir. My name is Bella Swan."

"Ah yes, the police chiefs daughter."

"Yes sir." I said.

"What can I do for you?"

"I just wanted to let you know that Brady was in a fight today, that was by no means his fault, and he was roughed up a bit."

"What's a bit?" He asked, and I looked over to Collin.

"Well sir, he has a broken leg and a couple of cracked ribs. He's resting now at Paul's house under the care of Dr. Cullen."

"At Paul's house?" He asked.

"Yes sir."

"You know ever since he started hanging out with those boys he's been nothing but trouble. Collin to for that matter."

"Sir, I'll have to disagree with you on that. These boys are some of the most well behaved kids I've ever met."

"Whatever… they sneak out all of the time, come home late. Get into fights. Skip school to go with you to Seattle….yes.. don't think I don't know about that Ms. Swan." he said waving his hand around. The volume of his voice rising with every word.

"Sir it was there birthday, I thought a trip to the zoo would be nice for them. I meant no harm." I said back.

"It doesn't mean anything, I told these boys that if they didn't stop that they'd have to find somewhere else to go. I cant deal with a couple of rebellious teens. They'll have to learn one way or another." He said pointing at Collin who had his eyes planted to the floor.

"Your kicking them out then?" I asked. I couldn't believe this guy. If only he knew that his son's… the ones he's talking about so badly now, were protectors of the tribe, I bet his whole outlook would change.

"You know I cant deal with this now. Collin you need to leave. And take her with you. When you decide not to hang out with those boys anymore than your welcome to come back."

"You know what sir. I really feel bad for you. You're the one missing out." I turned quickly to look at Collin. "Go pack a bag, and get one for your brother too." He disappeared quickly out of the room.

"Sir I mean no disrespect when I say that your making a mistake. Collin and Brady love you. They need you. And when you realize that, they'll be at Paul's… I only hope for your sake you don't wait to long…they may not want to come back…" I said.

"Goodbye Ms. Swan." he said looking back at the television, effectively dismissing me.

I went back out to the hallway to wait for Collin who appeared out of one of the rooms down the hall. We walked quickly back to my truck, and went back to Paul's.

"Collin I need to you come with me upstairs, to talk to Brady." I said still sitting in the truck.

"Okay Bee…but you didn't have to do this."

"No I didn't, but I did." I said.

We climbed out of the truck, and made our way inside. I looked through the living room and nodded at Paul and then nodded to the stairs, signaling him that I wanted him to follow. He stood quickly and followed Collin and me up the stairs and into Brady's room.

"What's going on?…Why do you have my bag Collin?" Brady asked as we made it through the door.

"Well… your going to be staying here for a little while Brady…Collin too." I said, glancing at Paul.

"What do you mean…you went over there didn't you Bella?" He asked. I nodded. "He kicked us out huh?" he asked and I nodded again.

"He'll come around Brady, he just doesn't realize what he has. But he will. Give him a little while." I said with a sad smile.

"Yeah…sure."

"Why don't you and Collin talk for a little bit, and I'll be back later." I said pulling Paul to the door.

He pulled me into his room, and shut the door behind us. I went and sat on the bed.

"So there dad kicked them out huh?" he asked coming to sit by me.

"Yeah… but he'll want them back soon. I wish the boys would be allowed to tell him. It would change his whole outlook on this."

"I could always talk to Sam…see if this could be the one exception."

"Yeah…would you?…I know it would help." I said looking over to him.

"Yeah…I'll talk to him later…. Do you want to go out to the cliff for a little while?"

"Actually that sounds perfect…oh by the way I hope your not upset about me telling the boys they could stay here?"

"No, I'm not upset. They're here most of the time anyways." He said smirking… "Come on lets go." He said standing and taking my hand.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

It was starting to get colder now, and I'm happy Paul remembered to grab a blanket, as we made our way to the ledge. The water was crashing against the rocks a little harder, indicating a storm was coming in.

"I cant believe its all over." I whispered. "Finally".

"Yeah…we don't have to worry about any of it anymore. But I actually brought you up here for a reason?" He said pulling me against him, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"It's a little to cold up here for me to be getting naked Paul." I said smirking.

"That's not the reason I brought you up here…but now that you mention it." He said nibbling against my neck.

"Hey now…none of that…what is the reason you brought me up here."

He stood there for a moment…quiet…lost in thought.

"Well are you going to spit it out?" I asked.

"Look Bella, I know we haven't known each other that long. Almost two months. But I was wondering if maybe…if you'd move in with me?" He said burying his face in my shoulder.

"You want me to move in with you?" I asked.

"Yeah…would you?"

I thought about it for a minute, and then decided to mess with him a little.

"I cant."

"Why not?" he said spinning me around.

"There's not another basket for my clothes, and the alarm clock by your bed seems to be broken. How will I ever get up?" I said smirking.

"Oh you little….." he said tickling me.

"Paul….come…on….cant….breath." I gasped.

"So is that a yes Ms. Swan?" He asked after my breathing slowed.

"Yeah Paul…it's a yes." I said pulling him down to meet my lips.

He broke away shortly after, looking into my eyes.

"Hey…what did you wish for on that shooting star.?" He asked.

"Honestly?" I said.

"Yeah."

"You."

Let me know what you think…..
