Thank you so much for the reviews!
I own nothing!
Anya POV
I walk on the side of the road thinking if I should go back and apologize. But Paul sometimes did really did scare me. Don't get me wrong, I love Paul. A lot but his temper was terrifying.
I walked up to the house then I see a car pull up. It wasn't Paul's car. It was a Mercedes with a license plate from California.
The only person I knew who lived in California and drove a Mercedes was him.
"Anya! I found you!" My father yelled as he jumped out of his car. I slowly walk towards him.
"What no Stephanie?" I ask annoyed.
"No, she's at home with your new brother and sister." He said with his eyes gleaming.
"Twins huh?" I say. He nods happily. He was never this happy when Drew and I were around.
"Why are you here?" I ask.
"Well I just wanted you to come home. We miss you." He begged.
"I don't." I say coldly.
"Come on, just for two days." He said. "We'll be flying so it'll be quick. Don't you want to meet your siblings?" I sigh. I really needed a break from La Push too.
"Fine, but only to see them then I'm leaving." I say glaring at my father. I turn towards the house to write a note for Paul so he wouldn't freak.
"Let me grab my stuff." I say. I wasn't about to tell my father about Paul.
"No you don't have to. We have some of your stuff left, remember?" He said as he pulled me into the car. I guess I could call Paul later.
In California
"Hey, guys." I say as I squat down to meet my new siblings. They babbled something I couldn't understand.
"He's Jason and she's Elizabeth." Stephanie told me.
"They're cute." I say.
"Okay, I saw them can I go now?" I ask my father as I stood up.
"No, stay for dinner." My father ordered me.
"Fine, you need help with it Stephanie?" I ask her.
"Oh no, I would never cook." She said with horror. "We have our chef do it so no need to worry about it."
"Oh." I say sitting down on the couch.
"Well it should be ready soon so don't worry." She said. Maybe I should call Paul. I pat my pockets for my phone but they were empty. Shoot.
"Do you think I could borrow your phone?" I ask Stephanie. She pulls out her shiny new phone that my father no doubt bought for her.
"Thanks." I say as I take the phone and left the room. Then I mental hit myself. I forgot Paul's number. It was always on speed dial for me so I had forgotten his number. I had no house phone for our house either. I am so stupid. Paul must be going crazy.
"Dad I really need to leave." I say as I entered the room again.
"No honey, you can't you have to stay with us till tomorrow." He said.
"Are you kidding me?" I said. "I really need to leave now."
"No, don't you want to spend time with me and your mom?" he asked as Stephanie shot me a phony smile.
"Step-mom." Stephanie and I said at the same time.
"And no I don't want to spend time with you two. Since when did you care about spending time with me?" I ask.
"I know I haven't been around like I should since your mother passed away but I always cared about you and Drew." He said.
"Yeah, sure." I say then walk out of the room.
I sat on my bed thinking of ways to escape.
Plan #1- Run like crazy then make my way home. Nope not happening.
Plan #2-Wait till my father would let me out of this prison. Maybe but I'm worried about Paul havinga panic attack and I already miss him.
Plan #3- Steal one of my father's cars and drive myself home. My dad would be super angry plus he had a security cop outside of the garage at all times. He is very protective of his cars. So no to this too.
My only choice was Plan 2. Great. Waiting. Fun.
"Can I leave yet?" I ask.
"Can I leave yet?"
"Can I leave yet?" I ask my father again who was currently ignoring me again. I wait a few more minutes.
"How about now?" I ask.
"No!" My father yelled at me. "Can't you just accept that I want you to stay with me?"
"No." I say. He narrowed his eyes at me.
"Well you then you can just go and pout in the corner over there." He said pointing to a lonely looking corner. I glare at him and sit on the ground to play with the two little kids.
"Dad?" I ask.
"Yes?" he said.
"Can I leave yet?" I ask again.
I was in timeout right now. Seriously, I'm 18. I can't be in timeout! My father threw me in my room to 'think about what I did'. All I did was beg him to take me back HOME. This is not my home. Home equals Paul. Is he here? No.
Something hit my window. I turn to look at it. I slowly took a step forward. I glance out my window and see a figure in the darkness. I slowly open my window and my face was nailed by something.
"Ow!" I yell as I stumbled back. Something jumps through my window. It was Paul. Okay so maybe Paul was here.
"Paul?" I say confused.
"I'm so sorry." He apologized. "I didn't mean to hit you."
"It's alright." I say rubbing my cheek. I go to sit on the bed and sigh.
"I'm sorry for losing my temper again too." He said. "I decided to take yoga classes with Leah to control my anger." I burst out laugh. Paul doing yoga?
"What's so funny?" he asks confused.
"Yoga?" I ask trying to hold back tears.
"Yeah, you wanna try too?" he asks seriously.
"Sure Paul, sure." I say hugging him. "But first we have to get out of here."
"Okay well we could always jump out the window and run for it." He said shrugging.
"Says the super buff werewolf to the pathetic, non-athletic me." I say rolling my eyes.
"You are not pathetic." He said frowning.
"Yeah, yeah let's just hurry up and figure something out because I think they'll be calling me to dinner soon." I say.
"Okay, well what if I carried you?" he asked.
"How'd you get here?" I ask. "Car?"
"I ran here wolf style but I had to be normal once I hit the cities." He said.
"How am I supposed to get home then?" I ask.
"You can just ride on my back." He told me grinning.
"Okay, fine." I said. "Anything to get out of here."
"Awesome." He said then dived out the window.
"Show off." I grumble and heard him laugh.
"Okay, just jump and I'll catch you." He said.
"You better." I told him.
"I promise." He grinned. I slowly crawled out the window.
"Honey, dinner –" I hear my dad say as he entered the room. "Anya!"
"Bye dad, I'm sorry but we just don't really work out. You can't make up for those years you left me and Drew alone." I say then jump out of the window with a slight squeal. Paul easy caught me and threw me on his back as sprinted out of the enclosed lawn.
He climbed the fence easily and gracefully landed. He took off on the sidewalk. It was dark out but people were still outside taking walks or heading home. They looked at us strangely.
"Freedom!" Paul yelled as I laughed and pulled him closer to me.
Paul had told me to get off before he shifted. He disappeared into the trees then came back as a wolf. I slowly neared him. I was still afraid of dogs and anything that resembled them but this was Paul. He lowered himself to the ground and whined. I carefully touched his head. His dark grey fur was soft and silky.
"Not scary, not scary." I whispered to myself. He licks me making me giggle.
"Okay." I say taking a deep breath. "Let's go." He stays lying on the ground and I crawl onto his back with slight difficulty but settle myself down. He barks then takes off.
Back at Home
"Now take a deep breath and raise your arms." The instructor said. The whole pack had decided to take yoga lessons to so all the imprints joined too even little Claire. I turn and Emily, Leah and Kim who were really getting into it. Quil was helping Claire move her chubby arms. Sam was standing behind Emily waiting to catch her in case she fell over but he was still doing the yoga positions. Paul was next to me and Jared stood near Kim to watch her just in case too. Brady, Collin and Seth were just messing around in the back of the room.
"Now lift your left leg up slowly and then lean forward." The instructor said slightly annoyed because of the loud three in the back. I slowly lift my leg then lean forward. I glance and Paul was attempting to do it too.
"Now bring your leg to your hand and grab it." The instructor told us then did it herself. It looked painful.
"Ow, ow, ow." Jared yelled as he let himself crumble to the ground.
"I give up." Sam said quitting. Leah had no trouble doing it since she was crazy flexible and plus her werewolf powers helped her stay balanced.
"Yeah, no." Paul said not even attempting. I roll my eyes. I try to reach for my leg but I couldn't. Paul pushed my leg a little further gently. I grab it with a victorious smile. Emily and Kim saw what Paul did and made Jared and Sam help them.
"Ow!" Kim squealed. Jared quickly let go of her leg and caught her before she crumbled to the ground.
"Now slowly lean forward." The instructor carried on.
"Not happening." I say quickly as I release my leg.
"Good idea." Paul told me. Emily was still going and so was Leah. Claire had already lost interest and now was pulling on Quil's hair as Seth and Collin were tackling Brady. The instructor suddenly snapped.
"Okay, that's enough!" she said glaring at the three. "Please don't come back. You can have refunds if you want."
"Wait all of us?" Leah asked.
"Yes, now leave." She said and stormed out of the room.
"Seth, Collin, Brady." Leah growled. "I am so going to kill you."
"It's great to be home." I say smiling up to Paul.
"Definitely." He said leaning down to kiss me.
Probably not one of my best chapters but please review!
