Bella's POV
Jacob and I start running over to Sam, Emily, Nicole, and Paul. We could see Paul starting to phase and struggling to hold it together, typical Paul. Jacob makes it to them first grabbing Nicole and pulling her away from Paul, in order to protect her. This only makes Paul angrier and he begins to shake uncontrollably.
"PAUL CALM DOWN!" Sam tries to order him, but the process has already begun.
I watch as Jacob leaps over Nicole in mid-air he's a wolf, Paul has already taken on his wolf form. Jacob tackles Paul fighting him into the woods before anyone else sees them. I turn to check on Nicole hoping she missed what just happened. From the tears in her eyes I can tell she didnt miss a beat.
"What the hell is wrong with you people!" She screams as more tears fall down her face.
Sam ignores her shifting into a wolf and snapping at Jacob and Paul to get in the woods. I see Paul trying to go over to Nicole and whining to get her her attention. I didn't even hear Embry and Jared come up to us in human form. Embry catches Nicole just in time as she faints to the ground.
"Sam told us to take her to Bella's house, but she might need medical attention." Jared smirks a little as he tells us.
"Guess the dog's out of the bag now." Embry laughs carrying her back to the cars.
"We'll bring her to Billy's, he'll know what to do while Sam deals with those two." Emily says.
I just hold on Nicole's hand as we head back to the cars. Embry lays her in the back seat of her car and I lay her head in my lap playing with her hair. Emily sits in back with me under Nicole's legs as Jared drives and Embry sits in the passenger seat..
"I can't believe she fainted" Jared laughs with Embry.
"And she yelled what the hell is wrong with you people! Even Bella handled it better than her." Embry cracks up.
"You idiots I already knew you were wolves when you phased in front of me." I yell at them.
"Bella's right in Jacob hadn't moved Nicole out of the way, who knows what Paul would have done." Embry says.
"Paul wouldn't have phased if Jacob hadn't grabbed her, he was calming down until Jacob grabbed her, he got defensive and jealous." Emily spoke up.
We all considered what she said and I realized Paul was calming down just looking at Nicole but then Jacob grabbed her and moved her away from him. That's when Paul phased causing Jacob to phase, it makes sense.
"Five bucks Jacob takes him" Embry says.
"No way he grabbed Paul girl, Jacobs done for" Jared says as we pull into Billy's driveway.
Billy rolls onto the porch as we all file out of the car, Embry carrying Nicole again. Billy shakes his head at us and rolls back into the house as we follow behind him. Embry lays Nicole onto Jacobs bed to rest as we all sit around the table except Emily. She goes into the kitchen to starts cooking.
"What did Paul and Jacob do now?" Billy asks, knowing all too well.
"Paul imprinted on Nicole, then Paul got mad over nothing, Jacob grabbed Nicole out of the way. Paul phased then Jacob and Sam is dealing with them." Embry explains as Billy nods not surprised.
I look around for my dad, he was supposed to go fishing with Billy today I thought.
"He got called into work Bella" Billy explains knowing I was looking for him.
"Oh" I say smiling at Billy.
The front door opens and in walks Quil with a goofy grin on his face even though he has a black eye.
"I did it guys!" Jared and Embry smile at him.
"Awesome bro, what's up with your eye?" Embry asks.
"Oh, I ran into Paul and Jacob and Sam. Well once I saw Paul thinking about Nicole I remembered my fantasies about her when she first got famous and Paul turned on me." Quil chuckles sitting down at the table.
"Oh man we're all in for it when we phase and let slip that we had crushes on his imprint before we knew her." Embry says looking to Jared laughing a little.
"You guys are gross" I say as Billy chuckles at them and hands Quil some ice to speed up the healing process.
We hear the door open and close again, Sam walks in and goes straight to Emily to make sure she's okay. Jacob and Paul walk in punching each other and laughing. Paul scans the room for Nicole and frowns when he doesn't see her. Jacob takes a seat next to Quil and smacks his back and smiles.
"Sorry about your eye Quil." Paul apologizes and all out mouths drop open except Quils.
"No problem man I didn't know." Quil shrugs it off.
"Is she okay?" Paul asks ignoring our shocked faces.
Jared jerks his head toward Jacob's bedroom. Paul heads off to see her only to be stopped by Sam. Sam holds his hand against Paul's chest and has a silent conversation with him and Paul nods.
"I'll do my best to help her cope, you know I have too." Paul says as he heads into the bedroom.
"Did Paul apologize to you or am I imaging things?" I ask Quil and everyone.
Embry wraps his arm around me, "Looks like our boy is growing up." We hear Paul's low growl from the bedroom and we all crack up. An hour later Nicole wakes up, we all know too because we hear her scream.
"Get away from me!" Nicole is screaming as Paul comes running out. "Bella!" She calls for me.
"Paul what happened?" I ask heading over to Jacob's room.
"She woke up and took one look at me and well you know the rest cause she started screaming." I can tell he's mad as he leaves the house. I go into the bedroom to see a distraught Nicole.
Please review, I love to hear your opinions!
