A/N: To all of my readers, Thank you so much! you guys make me feel sooooo loved. I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. I really loved watching the amount of reviews that I had shoot up like they did. Anyways, here's the new chapter! Enjoy!

In Chapter 5

When I opened the door nothing could have prepared me for the person that would be standing there.

"Hello, Isabella"

"Edward"

BPOV

"What are you doing here?" I sniped at him. Of all the nerve, he came back. When he left he promised it would be as if he had never been here. These days it was actually seeming like he had been telling the truth. For the most part I had completely forgotten about him. Paul had come to be everything I could have ever wanted. He cared, and he didn't treat me like I was some fragile toy. He treated me like a human being. Just as my life was getting back on track he just had to show up again.

"Alice saw Charlie," he started, "Don't get mad at her, she wasn't looking for you or him, and she didn't tell me, I heard it through her thoughts."

"So you leave for months and you think that just because Charlie dies that you can just waltz back in here and ruin my life? Fuck you Edward!" I went to slam the door in his face but he put his foot in the jam. The part that really pissed me off is that I knew it didn't even hurt the bastard. He slipped his hand in and opened the door.

"I'm not here to ruin your life Isabella, I'm worried about you."

"You don't have the right to worry about me anymore..." I walked away because I knew I wasn't going to be able to get him to leave so I may as well get everything out in the open right now.

"Bella, I will always worry about you, I never meant any of it, I still love you."

"Well, I don't love you anymore. I have someone new. Someone that doesn't treat me like I'm just some infatuation of his." The look that Edward gave me should have scared me...It didn't. When he finally realized what I said completely, his stare turned blank.

"Who is he?"

"It's not like It's any of your business, His name is Paul, He's one of the boys from La Push."

"You're dating a WEREWOLF? No! Absolutely not! I forbid you to go anywhere near them!" His eyes went from blank to being filled with lust. This was bad, I knew this was bad, but there was nothing I could do about it. Edward rushed forward and pinned me against the wall, crashing his lips upon mine. His hands roamed my body harshly. He was hurting me, but there was nothing I could do about it. His hands found the button on my jeans and that was when I remembered myself and pushed him away, furious myself.

"You don't get a CHOICE ANYMORE EDWARD! YOU LEFT ME! YOU TOLD ME YOU DIDN'T LOVE ME AND YOU LEFT ME BROKEN IN THE WOODS WONDERING HOW I WAS EVER GOING TO GET ON WITH MY LIFE! JAKE PICKED UP THE PIECES OF MY LIFE AND IN HANGING OUT WITH HIM I FOUND PAUL! HE LOVES ME!" I started to sob and as if fate had finally decided to give me a break the door slammed open and my savior walked in. Paul had a look of fury in his eyes as he grabbed Edward by the throat and slammed him against a wall.

"You're not welcome here anymore Cullen. You had your chance and you fucked it up now get the fuck out before I rip you apart and burn the pieces. Don't EVER come back here." He released Edward and turned to me. Edward walked to the door and turned around to speak to me.

"I will always love you Isabella. And make no mistake, I WILL be back." he walked out the door and I broke down sobbing In Paul's arms. It had taken everything I had but he was gone, and he was never coming back...I Hoped.

PPOV

I stood there holding Bella as she cried into my chest. I should have been there for her. I never should have let her leave by herself this morning. Jake could have waited the couple of hours this would have taken. But no, I had to go watch that little shit. Of course something like this would happen. As if Bella weren't going through enough right now, I had to protect her from that leech too. I let her go and sat down. This would be my life from now on. Protecting Bella. She looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you Paul."

"It's nothing." I told her a bit put off that Edward had been here. Why had he been in the house? Why had Bella even opened the door for him? "Bella, Why was he here?"

"Alice saw Charlie die."

"And so you just let him in? Did you really think his condolences were all he was going to offer?" Bella looked at me, her tears were gone now. In their place were flames. I knew I had fucked up.

"Yes Paul let me tell you! I opened the door and said 'Hey Edward how are you, yea Charlie died. You want to have sex? If you really think that I just let him waltz in here after everything He's done to me you are sadly mistaken Paul Meraz!" Bella had never called me that before. Even though I knew it wasn't true the thought of her offering herself to him like that was enough to make me furious with envy.

"Did you? Tell me the truth!"

"Obviously I didn't you ass! Otherwise you would have found one hell of a different situation when you walked in my door. He did kiss me! He tried to do things to me that I would never willingly let anyone but you do to me! He stopped when I started yelling at him..." She had started to break down by the time she finished what she was saying. I was by her side in an instant, pulling her into me as her hot tears fell onto my chest.

"Shhh," he said, "I'm sorry Bells, I just...I pictured you with him, and I don't know what happened to me but I was jealous. I don't want anyone but me touching you like that. I love you, and I want you all to myself."

By the time I finished what I was saying her sobs had calmed to whimpers. We laid on the couch for a couple of hours just enjoying each other's presence, holding one another the whole time. Her breathing had slowed and I could feel her heart beat through her chest and noticed that our hearts were beating at the same rhythm. It only made me feel more like she had been meant for me and I couldn't believe that she was mine. Her head lifted and her my eyes were met with the warm chocolate brown eyes that I had come to love over the last week.

"Paul?"

"Yea baby?"

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Renee's POV

I hung up the phone speechless from shock. My only child had just had to tell me that her father was dead. As much as I didn't want to admit it, I had always been in love with Charlie. Even though I had left him a few years after our child was born, he had always held a special place in my heart, and I knew that if he had just gotten out of that small ass town that we would probably still be together to this day. I walked to the hall closet and got the largest suitcase down. I had no clue how long I would be up there, no clue how long Bella would need me.

"Renee?" Phil was home. "Honey?"

"I'm in the bed room sweetheart." He walked in the room and straight to me taking me into his arms.

"Guess what baby? I got the job with the local junior high! I've got a permanent job!" The smile on his face made me feel even worse about what I was going to tell him. He must have noticed something was wrong because the smile faded from his face and he took a step back. "What is it honey?"

"Charlie's dead Phil, and I need to go to Forks for the funeral, and Bella needs me." Phil started to pull some of his clothes from the closet. "You can't come with me Phil, I don't know how anyone down there will react to me coming to my ex-husband's funeral with my new husband, lord knows they didn't take to kindly to the fact that I left him with our four year old daughter."

He came back over and took me in his arms. "I'm sorry baby, you go, take your time and do what you need. I'll be here when you get back."

I continued to pack just throwing whatever I could into the suitcase. I called the airlines and found a flight leaving in an hour. Phil dropped me off at the airport, promising again that he would be here waiting for me to return from Forks.

The flight was long and stuffy, and I couldn't wait to get off the plane when It finally landed in Seattle. Now I just needed to find a taxi that would take me all the way to Forks. Back to my daughter, back to the community that looked down on me the day that I did what I thought was best for me and my daughter. The look in their eyes as my taxi went through the town was enough to make anyone feel unwelcome but I had to be here. I had to be there for my daughter.

I brought myself up to Paul's face and gently kissed him. I was happy he had been there for me, even if he had almost assumed that I had thrown myself at Edward. In the end He realized his mistake and calmed down. He started to kiss me back, his arms wrapping around my waist and pulling me closer. I started to grind my hips into him, when the door opened revealing Renee, coming in the house.

"Bella, I'm h-" I jumped off the couch faster than I knew I could move.

"Mom! hey! What are you doing here?"

"I told you I was coming up for the funeral."

"Oh...yea...That's right..." I fumbled my words trying to figure out how to get out of this tight spot. Thankfully, Paul was able to do it for me.

"Hi Mrs. Dwyer, I'm Paul, It's very nice to meet you, although I wish it could have been under better circumstances." He reached forward to shake Renee's hand and she pulled him into a hug.

"Please, call me Renee, and thank you Paul, I've heard a lot about you from my ex-husband, I'm so glad Bella finally found someone that isn't that Edwin guy."

"It's Edward, Mom," I smiled at Paul, "And yea, So am I." Paul walked over to me and draped his arm around me in that very protective Paul type way.

"And I'm glad I found her too, in a way, Bella has kind of become my life. I think I'm already in love with her." I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him close to me. We both knew we were in love but Renee would never understand what was going on, she would just think we were two love sick teenagers making mistakes with our lives.

"Well, I'm happy for the both of you but don't rush into anything. You never know what you are going to want in 5 or even 10 years."

"Okay mom."

"Of course, Renee, I only want what's best for Bella, I would never rush her into anything " Renee and I both looked at Paul with one eyebrow raised. I was looking at him strangely because we both knew that it was too late for slowing anything down, my mother, had her own reasons.

"Well, I'm glad you feel that way Paul." Renee set her suitcase in Charlie's room knowing that it was the only room available. We couldn't afford to put her up in a hotel since we didn't know how long she would be staying here. It was around six so I got up and pulled out a pot and a pan about to make spaghetti for dinner. After setting the water to boil and putting the sauce in the pan to simmer I walked back into the living room to find my mother and Paul having a conversation on what he was going to do when He got out of school.

"Well, Renee, I plan on attending Washington State, in Seattle. I just received my acceptance letter a few days ago." He smiled at me.

"That's odd," I told him, "I just received mine as well." I sat down next to him and without even thinking he placed his arm around me. If I had ever pictured life without Edward, it would have been something like this. Graduating, going to college, falling in love with someone that doesn't have to resist trying to kill me every second of the day. For once, Life was normal. If you forgot about the fact that my boyfriend was a werewolf anyways. I got back up and checked on the water which was just now coming to a boil. After adding the pasta I kept a close watch and pretty soon dinner was done and we were all sitting at the table eating.

"Well, Renee, Bella, this has been great, but I should get going." Paul said as he stood up to leave. I looked at him with a pleading look knowing that he had patrol tonight and no matter what I said he would have to leave.

"I'll walk you to the door baby." I got up and followed him, pulling him close to me when we reached the door. "Come see me tonight?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world baby." With that, he walked out the door.

I left Bella's with a heavy heart. She was the only person that I couldn't stand to be away from. The last couple of months that I lived at home it hadn't even hurt a little when my mother had gone off on one of her business trips that just happened to be a few days apart. When most teenagers move out, they get all emotional and homesick, I didn't go through all of that bullshit. My mom was out of town at the time and as I walked into my new house it was as if I hadn't moved at all. I was still at home alone all the time. I tied my clothes to my leg and phased doing my patrol. The hours passed by slowly till Jake came in saying he had smelled a leech.

Paul, over by the mountains, I've got one!

I'm on my way Jake!

I took off towards the mountain running into the leech on the way to where Jake had showed me. Jake met me at the point where I was and let out a howl. Before I knew it, all of the other wolves were phased and In front of the leech. She had flame red hair and we had her surrounded. She had managed to escape up the other times but this was different, we had her this time and I wasn't going to let her get away.

Jake lunged for her distracting her so that I could get close. I took one swipe at her with my giant paws and took her head off. A noise like metal tearing ripped through the air. My brothers started to disassemble the bitch as I started a fire for her. If only we knew what she had been after.

Renee had gone to bed a couple of hours ago as I sat in bed looking at the clock. I had heard the howl and knew that they had found someone. It scared me to have him out there, even though I knew that If he ever found a vampire the rest of the pack would be with him in a second. After all, this is what they were bred for. To take down the vampire's. So what did I have to worry about. Edward wouldn't risk coming back tonight. I knew that much. I glanced at the clock again. it was only eleven. Paul's patrol lasted until midnight. I decided to get on my laptop and check to see if I had any messages. Just one from Alice, of all people.

Bella,

I know it's none of my business but what are you doing dating a werewolf? I'm just worried about you. Those boys are all unstable Isabella. He could hurt you if he gets too angry and not even mean to. Please write back Bella, I miss you.

Alice

I scanned through the letter quickly and hit reply.

Alice,

I'm sure you know of all of the legends involving the wolves Alice. I'm not just dating him, we imprinted Alice. I've never felt like this before..not even with Edward. And honestly, you're right. it's none of your business and I would appreciate if you wouldn't reply to this. Goodbye Alice.

Bella.

I sent the email and went back to my bed. It was a quarter until twelve. I went to my drawers and changed into a pair of black shorts and a white tank top. I started to read Wuthering Heights for the millionth time when I heard a tap on my window and smiled. Looking up to see my wolf in nothing but a pair of shorts I opened the window for him. He climbed in and wrapped his arms around me, kissing me with a passion that he hadn't before. I pulled away from him a frown replacing the smile I previously had.

"What is it baby?"

"Nothing, I'm just happy to see you again."

"Don't lie to me Paul," I took another step back and sat on my bed. "What happened?"

He took a breath and walked over to my bed sitting down next to me.

"We ran into a leech tonight. It wasn't one of the Cullens. She was tall, with bright red hair, the way she moved was like nothing we had ever encountered before, well, not before the first time we found her anyways."

I gasped trying hard not to break down crying. It didn't work too well. Victoria. She got away. She was here... Paul wrapped his arms around me as I started to cry into his chest for the second time that day.

"What is it Bells?"

"She came back. She's looking for me."

"Was."

"What are you talking about?"

"She was looking for you."

"What do you mean?"

"We got her tonight baby. She won't ever bother you again." He pulled me even closer and we laid down just holding each other, reveling in the moment that was here. Victoria was dead. She would never come back. I had Jacob as my best friend again. Paul loved me more than I had ever known anyone to love a person. Edward was never coming back. The only thing that would make this moment perfect is if Charlie were still here.
