This is Paul's POV of the other chapter. I do not own anything. Songs belong to Panic at the disco and Mayday Parade. (If you don't know these bands. You should check them out.)


I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I turned it off. I got home late for patrol last night. Jacob thought he smelled a new scent. A vampire, no doubt. I didn't want to go to school. Apparently there was a new girl coming to school today. Sam wanted us to be there. To see if she was a threat. I don't really think it was necessary. But what Sam says goes.

I decided to go back to sleep for a while. I set my alarm for 8. It was already 7:30. A half a hour of sleep would be nice. I never really got any sleep these days. Only on days I didn't have patrol. Oh well...

~~~~~~~~Half a hour later~~~~

Stupid alarm clock. I picked it up and threw it at the wall. I really need to work on my anger. Oh well, I don't really care. I got up and quickly threw on a pair of cut offs and a white shirt. I went into the bathroom. Wow! I look like shit. I quickly brushed my hair and teeth. I was already late for school. I don't care. I picked up my backpack and walk to my truck.

By the time I got to school it was 8:15. I walked into the office. I heard the lady at the desk talking on the phone. She looked up at me and rolled her eyes.

The Bitch.

She wrote me a pass. My first class of the day was music. I hated it. Just a bunch of people singing and dancing around. Only a few played instruments. I played the guitar. But I wasn't about to tell any one that. I reached the class. Ha. I could hear the teacher talking to a person. Helena.

I didn't know her. Must be the new girl.

I heard the teacher. "Splendid!" The teacher said. "First let me do rolecall."

There was a pause. Apparently looking around the room. "Has anyone seen Mr. Walker?"

That's when I walked in. I briefly saw the girl standing next to him. She was looking me over. When I felt her looking at my face, I looked up at her.

We locked eyes. It felt like she was the only one in the room, no, the world that mattered. I wanted to walk right over to her and hug her, kiss her, tell her how much she mattered to me. That's when I knew it. I imprinted.

She was the one I loved. My other half. My soul mate.

I walked over to Mr. Turner. "Hi. Mr. Turner. Here's the pass. Sorry."

"Its quite alright Paul just don't let it happen again". Ha. Every teacher knew not to mess with us.

I looked over at my imprint. "Who is this?"

"Oh yes. Paul meet Helena. She's new.

"Hey." She said. I just smiled back. Stupid Paul! Why didn't you say something!

"So Miss Williams, You were going to sing for us, correct?" I looked at her. She looked very nervous. I walked back over to my seat. I was the only one that had an empty seat next to them. That means she would have to sit by me!

"Umm sure. But can someone go before me?"

"Yes. Katlynn. Why don't you and Jimmy do your piece?"

Kaylynn stood up and looked at Jimmy. He stood up. They walked over to the cd player and put their cd in. "Just tell us when to go Mr. Turner."

"Any time you want dear. And Helena why don't you go sit by Paul?"

"Okay." Helena walked over to me. As soon as she sat down the music started to play.

I didn't know the song. I didn't really care. I just watched Helena as Katlynn and Jimmy performed. I saw a certain look in her eyes. A longing.

I figured she loved to sing. You could tell.

Then I felt Helena's heart beat speed up. Katlynn and Jimmy's song was over. Helena got up and walked to the front of the class.

"Do you just want me to sing without music then?"

"If you want. I could see if we can find the song, but that would take to long."

"Okay. Well this song is called 'Walk on water or drown.' It's by Mayday Parade."

She started to sing.

Well, this hurts me more than I can stand to say
In just one sitting
You left the room so I could pray
So I'll pace the halls to see if I could find a hole in something
Or maybe places to escape

Oh, and everybody knows this is the part
Of breaking down in anybody's arms
I'm reaching down and hoping this one's ours
God, please let this stay

And then I fell into pieces
And she fell into me
Saying, play me a song
It's been too long since I've heard
You sing

And you got here just in time
To let me know I was worth saving
If nothing more than for the heart
Too proud to breathe
But all too scared to say
The things worth saying
Who knew this trip would be this hard

As I'm looking to the sky to count the stars
I wonder if you see them where you are
I'm down on both my knees
To pray tomorrow brings no pain

And then I fell into pieces
And she fell into me
Saying play me a song it's been too long
Since I've heard you sing

And now we all fall to pieces
But at least you fell to me
And this is the wrong night
Tell me goodnight and let it go

I stayed here
And you just prayed
My head would clear
And I'd stay safe

The pieces left
that love exchanged
just saved everything

Oh, and everybody knows this is the part
Of breaking down in anybody's arms
I'm reaching down and hoping this one's ours
God, please let this stay

And then I fell into pieces
And she fell into me
Saying, play me a song
It's been too long since I've heard
You sing

And then I fell into pieces
And she fell into me
Saying play me a song it's been too long
Since I've heard you sing

And yeah we all fall to pieces
But at least you fell to me
And this is the wrong night
Tell me goodnight and let it go, oh

Her voice was like an angel's. Perfect. I already loved every thing about her.

"Very good, Miss Williams. I don't think I have met anyone with this amount of talent in a long time. Sing another?"

"Fine. And I'm not really that good. I just had a lot of practice. I told you that my band almost made it big time. But this song is by Panic at the disco. Its called 'Camisado'. Ryan Ross wrote it before for the first album Its about about his dad."

She started again. But in a whisper.

The I.V. and your hospital bed
This was no accident
This was a therapeutic chain of events

This is the scent of dead skin on a linoleum floor
This is the scent of quarantine wings in a hospital
And it's not so pleasant
And it's not so conventional
And it sure as hell ain't normal
But we deal, we deal

The anesthetic never set in and I'm wondering where
The apathy and urgency is that I thought I phoned in
No it's not so pleasant
And it's not so conventional
And it sure as hell ain't normal
But we deal, we deal

Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relax
Just sit back, just sit back
Just sit back and relapse again

You can take the kid from the fight but
You cant take the fight from the kid
Sit back, relax
Sit back, relapse again
You can take the kid from the fight but
You cant take the fight from the kid
Just sit back, just sit back

You're a regular decorated emergency

Sit back, sit back
Relax, relapse
Sit back, sit back
Ba ba ba dah
You can take the kid out the fight

You're a regular decorated emergency
The bruises and contusions will remind you what you did when you wake
You've earned a place atop the ICU's hall of fame
The camera caught you causing a commotion on the gurney again

You could see that she loved to be up there. She loved to sing.

"Very good again. Well Class you can do what ever you want for the rest of the hour."

She smiled at the teacher and walked back to her seat very quickly. I just watched her. As she sat down, I just stared at her with a grin on my face. She looked over at me and smiled back. She was perfect. I knew I would do anything for her. I bunch of kids ran over to ask Helena to sit next to them. Garret Scott was one of them. I hated him. He was bad news. He was a player. I wanted Helena to stay away from them. I was starting to get angry. My smile was gone. Helena looked over at me.

"Sorry guys. I kind of want to talk to Paul." My smile returned.

"Well what about at lunch then?" My smile was gone again. I wanted her to sit by me at lunch.

"Sorry guys." I smiled again. "I already have plans." She turned to look at me. My smile was gone. She already had plans. I didn't have a chance. She looked back at the kids. They were gone.

"So. Who do you have plans with?" I asked. I wanted to know.

"No one. I was hoping you might want to hang out." She gave me a lopsided smile. The look on my face was probually very happy. I had a humongous smile on my face.

"Yes! You should meet all of my friends. I'm sure they would love you." I pulled her in a hug. I smelled her hair. Chocolate. Yum.

It turns out we had a bunch of classes together. I had asked her for her schedule. The only difference in our schedule was I had P.E. and Helena had Art.

I wanted to get to know her a lot better. I made sure that we sat by each other in each class. By the time lunch came, Jared was the only one that knew about me imprinting.

In math class I usually sat by him. When we walked in Jared was already there. Waiting for me. I lead Helena to the back of the room. Where there was to empty seats. Jared gave me a WTF look.

Helena sat down. I dropped my back pack on the floor next to the other chair. "I'll be right back. I have to go talk to someone." I put my hand on top of hers for a second and then walked over to Jared.

"Dude. Really? Ditching me for a girl. That's not right." He smiled at me. "Who is she?"

I looked back at her. She smiled at me. Her smile was beautiful. I smiled back.

"Her name is Helena. God. Sorry for ditching you dude but, you know."

"Did you…?" I knew what he was talking about. Imprinting.

I smiled. "Yah." I sounded like I was whipped, thanks to the imprint. "She's perfect. Jared, I finally get why you are around Kim all the time."

He smiled at her name. And looked back at Helena and smiled at her. "Go back to her dude."

I smiled. "Yah. Okay." I walked back over to Helena. "Miss me?"

She looked up at me. "Yes, A lot." That made me happy. She missed me!

I sat down. Her hand was on the desk. I put my hand on hers. She looked up at me, her eyes were filled with different emotions.

Confusion. Worry. And Love.

Things in La push were going to get a lot better.
