It had been a month since Charlie had passed and things were slowly getting better. I no longer had this hole in my heart from where Edward had been. That was thanks to Paul, when I was with him the rest of the world seemed to stop. It was just me and him. Jacob was coming around a lot. Then again he already had been. I was going to the res more often. Emily had cook outs all the time. I remember the last one, it was just a few days ago.

*Flashback*

I pulled up to Emily's house and Paul was already waiting for me outside. He always knew right when I was going to show up, I think he cheats and uses his wolf sense of hearing. As I put the truck in park and turned it off he got up and walked out to meet me, opening my door before I could.

"Hey baby," he had the simplest smile on his face.

"Hey yourself," I smiled back at him.

"So Em's got some pretty big news, you're never going to believe it."

"Really now? It wouldn't be that she's pregnant now would it?"

"How do you know, she just told everyone a few minutes ago."

"She called me when she found out."

"No she didn't, I bet your psychic" Paul smirked as he accused me of telling the future. It was a smirk that could only be seen on his face.

"Yes, I am the all knowing Isabella!" I said as I started laughing. He rushed up and grabbed me by my waist tossing me into the air, causing me to scream the last part of what I was saying. When He put me back down I hit him square in the chest laughing at the same time. I gave him the sternest look that I could muster under the circumstances. "Don't you ever do that again Paul Meraz"

"Or what" His face went serious as his stepped up and looked down at me. There was passion in his eyes and all I wanted to do was go home and show him.

"Or I'll have Jacob murder you and hide the body." I said as a smirk crossed my face.

"Except now I know your plan so I'll just stay away from Jake."

"You can't, ya'll have to do patrol together sometimes"

"Ah, but it will look fishy if we go on patrol together and I never come back." I realized he was going to win this round and put a pout on my face.

"Go away." He pulled me in closer to him.

"Never." He whispered in my ear.

*End Flashback*

We had so much fun that day. We usually did when it came to dinner at Emily's. All our boys together. Plus some new additions. Quil, Seth, and Leah had joined the pack, AND Quil imprinted on Emily's cousin Claire. She was so cute in her highchair flinging food on the floor that Quil never complained about having to pick up. Tonight was just a regular bonfire so Paul told me to invite whoever I wanted. I had immediately called Angela and she called Lauren and Jessica knowing they loved how the Quileute boys looked. We were all going to meet at my house at 5 and ride over to the reservation. I didn't really want to hang out with the last two, but Angela was friends with them so I didn't really say anything.

It was four so I started to get ready knowing that we would be leaving in an hour and I wanted to look perfect for my wolf man. Paul hated it when I called him that, but he always smiled when I did so I kept calling him that. I turned on the shower and got in letting the warm water wash over my body, wishing it was Paul's hands instead. He had this way of making me feel like I was the only girl in the world when his hands were on me. I guess , to him, in a way I was the only girl. At least that's what Jake told me about the last time they had run patrol together. He said all that Paul could think about was me, If I was safe, If I was having nightmares, If I was cold, If I was sleeping without any clothes on...Jake said he could have lived without the last one and the mental picture it produced in Paul's mind.

I finished bathing and stepped out drying my hair with the towel before wrapping it around my body and walking to my room. I picked out a pink dress that tied behind my neck with some pumps in the same shade, yet another creation chosen by Alice. I had started wearing the clothes that she picked out for me to the bonfires. It usually go to hot for any of my own clothes, but it was just perfect for most of the outfits she had picked out. It's like she had known that one day I would need them, but that would mean that she saw that I wasn't with Edward in the future. After pulling my hair into a clip there was a knock at the door. I glanced at the clock but it was only four thirty, so it couldn't be the girls. I went downstairs and opened the door to find Alice standing on my porch. I closed the door again.

"Bella! Please! I just want to talk!" I wasn't going to give up. I wasn't going to open the door again. "I miss you Bella!"

Maybe I was...I opened the door and was immediately taken into Alice's arms.

"Oh god, Edward said the mutts stink but I didn't think it was that bad" She stepped away quickly, scrunching her nose at the same time. She looked at me and took my hand, making me spin so that she could see the all over effect of her outfit. "Absolutely gorgeous, just like I saw it in my vision. So, hot date with the wolf tonight?"

"No, just a bonfire with the entire res, Ang, Jess, and Lauren are coming too, in fact they should be here in a bout twenty minutes." I stepped back and looked at her. She hadn't changed, of course she hadn't, she never would. That was the one thing I hated about dating Edward, I was going to grow older and he was going to stay seventeen forever. Unless he changed me, which everyone knew he was too much of a pussy to do. With Paul it didn't have to be like that, we would have lots of kids, and grow old together. That was another thing I would have had to give up when it came to Edward, children. I didn't even want any right now but it was nice to have the option open if I ever decided that I did. I could see three or four heads of jet black hair running around the house. Paul would come home from work and kiss me on the cheek stepping back to watch me cook dinner.

"Bella? Earth to Bella?" Alice waved her hand in front of my face bringing me out of my daydream.

"Sorry, I lost my train of thought. But yea, it's supposed to be a lot of fun, dancing and stuff, ya know?" I sat down on the couch with her sitting in Charlie's old recliner, I really needed to get rid of that thing but it just kept sitting there gathering dust.

"You? Dancing? That, I have to see." She laughed smiling the way that only Alice could.

"Oh, no, we don't dance, the tribe puts on a show with a lot of dancing in it. They circle the fire and tell stories and junk, I wish you could come, you would love it." She stiffened at my musings and an apologetic look crept on her face. "I know, I know, you can't come on the res, it was just a thought. But anyways, why are you here?"

"I just missed you, I got tired of Edward's crap about not ever going to see you again. It was ridiculous! You should have seen the way he acted when someone said your name, it's like he's Romeo and he just found out that Juliet killed herself, it's quite pathetic actually." She laughed as the last part came out.

"Well, it's his own fault, If he wouldn't have left in the first place we would still be together. Then again, I'm kind of glad that he left, I never would have met Paul." A smile came on my face as I started to think about my wolf again. We sat there and talked about different things, like how school was, and how Emmett was doing. Before I knew it, five had come and the girls had shown up. They were surprised to see Alice there, but didn't say anything about it. Alice got up and said her goodbyes and left. "Hey Alice, thanks for coming by, I've really missed you guys, maybe next time you come down you could bring Jazz and Emmett."

"I'll see, and we've missed you too." She left and Angela immediately turned to me.

"Are they back?"

"No, Alice just had to get away from everyone else." They all gaped at me for a second as if they were waiting for me to break down into tears at any moment. "So, you guys ready to go?"

PPoV

Waiting on Bella and her friends to get here was killing me. It was taking all I had not to run to Forks and get her myself, but her friends were coming to get her and I knew I was just going to have to wait until she showed up. I looked at my watch, she should have left five minutes ago, which means she should be here any minute. Doubt started to creep into my mind. What if she's not coming? What if she decided to leave? I shook the thoughts from my head knowing that I couldn't let myself think like that. I started to hear the truck coming and a smile crept on my face. Nothing could keep me from Bella. She had just pulled up to the beach when I smelled it, one of the Cullens. They couldn't be here. Could they? I walked over to Bella as her and her friends got out of the truck. Pulling her into my arms I froze instantly.

"Why do you smell like a Cullen?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Dammit Bella! Tell me the truth! Why do you smell like one of them?"

"If you must know Alice came by because she missed me!"

"Really? And I suppose her 'brother' came too? Or was it his idea in the first place?"

"For Fuck sake Paul, why does he piss you off so much? It's not like I fucked him! I'm yours, I only belong to you! I only love you!"

"You wanna know why he pisses me off? Because for the time he was here, he had you! And I get to think about the fact that...wait...you never slept with him?" All I could do was stand there. In all honesty that was why him being around made me so mad, I couldn't stand the thought of his hands being all over her, of him being inside her. Inside my Bella.

"No..we haven't! If you would have just asked instead of jumping to fucking conclusions you would know that!" She turned and walked away from me. All I could do was watch her walk away until I became aware of all of the faces staring at us. We had attracted quite an audience, including the entire pack. They stood there just staring at me. I could hear Embry speak.

"You stepped in it this time, you'll be lucky to get any for a month after that fuck up."

Leave it to Embry to be thinking about sex. I chased after her into the forest.

"BELLA WAIT!" I reached her just as she had disappeared into the tree line. She turned around glaring at me with a look that If looks could kill I'd have been dead ten times over. I never should have gone there, I knew I never should have gone there, I just couldn't stop thinking about his hands all over my girl.

"Where do you get off trying to tell me who I can and can't be around? Its non of your business in the first place but she just came by to make sure I was still doing okay after losing Charlie! Not that you care! You're too busy shoving your head up your ass to think before you accuse me of stupid shit!" she took a swing with her open palm slapping me. It didn't even hurt but I sure as hell wasn't going to tell her that. Instead I grabbed my jaw and acted like it hurt a lot. "Oh cut the act! That probably didn't even sting you!"

"Look Bella, I'm sorry ok? I just get so jealous when I think about the fact that he dated you. I know it's no excuse but I didn't know you had never been together. All I could think about was his hands on you, caressing you the way that only I should be." She turned away from me and I pulled her back to me by her waist. "Bella, I love you, and I know I need to work on my anger, please stop being mad at me."

"Give me one good reason."

"I love you?"

"I love you too but you can't ever pull that shit again Paul. I'm serious, if you EVER talk to me like that again I'll never sleep with you again. And that's after however long it takes for you to win my trust back. You need to learn that you can't just treat me however you want and expect that I'll come running back because you imprinted on me. I don't have to accept you as my mate, yea, I know about that. So you need to tread lightly for a long time." The realization hit me as to what she was talking about. She was going to leave me for good. That scared me more than the lack of sex. there wasn't a thing in the world that would scare me more than the thought of her leaving me. I turned her around making her look me in the eye and holding her firmly by both shoulders.

"Don't ever, ever say that Bella, I don't know what I'd do without you. You're way to important to me to lose over something as stupid as the Cullens. I know I already said it, but I love you Bella."

"I love you too, now let's move past this, I just want to have a good time today." She walked around me and started back towards the beach.

"Anything you want baby."

JakePoV

Wow, that was all I could think as I reminded myself to never get on Bella's bad side. Paul was going to have to do some major ass kissing to make that one up to her. He started running after her and we all knew to stay far away from whatever argument was about to ensue. Instead I turned my attention to her friends that were now standing like deer's caught in the headlights. I picked out Jessica and Lauren right away, Bella had vividly described them. The one with her back turned towards the woods must have been Angela. I walked up and Introduced myself.

"Hey, I'm Jake, you must be Jessica, and Lauren, Bells has told me a lot about you. And you must be..." I couldn't finish what I was saying. She had turned around and when my eyes met hers it was as if the world had stopped. I mean sure I had gotten a glance into what imprinting was like because I could see it in Paul's mind, but I never imagined it would be like this. No longer was I tied to this earth by my family. This goddess had fully taken over that role. I couldn't even think around her. She stood there staring at me just as intently as I was at her.

"Earth to Angela?" The one called Jessica grabbed Angela's arm and shook her a bit, causing her to regain her senses. She shook her head.

"Sorry, I'm Angela, It's nice to finally meet the famous Jake that Bella always talks about." She smiled at me and my world started spinning again.

"Um," I swallowed, suddenly I was nervous. "Yea, that's me, you, wanna go for a walk?"

She smiled at me and I noticed that she had the most captivating smile. She had a kind smile that reminded me of my mother and was just shy enough that she was blushing at the slightest bit of attention. Her skin looked perfect when it was tinted red. She took my hand and we started walking noticing that Bella and Paul were coming out from the forest.

"They got over that pretty fast." Her voice sounded like an angel to me. So beautiful.

"They usually do, one thing no one realizes is that as much of a player he acted like before he found her, he's really a sucker for a woman who's pissed off at him. He finds it...attractive. I prefer girls who aren't constantly screaming at me, myself, but that's what he likes and Bells is just the right girl to give that too him. Sometimes I think he pisses her off on purpose." I looked at her and gave my best smile, trying to mimic the one that Bells had told me one day was, and I quote, 'quite dazzling'. She smiled back at me so I decided that it was a good thing. "So have you always lived in Forks?"

"Yea, my parents grew up here too." She laughed, "Sometimes I think that I'm gonna live here forever. Sometimes I want nothing more than to get out of Washington. When I was growing up, I used to dream about living on the beach in California, just seeing were life takes me, not really caring about anything."

"I know the feeling, no one in my family has left the reservation in over a hundred years, till my sister Rebecca married and moved to Hawaii. Although my dreams were of moving to Florida, somewhere it doesn't rain all the time and where it doesn't get below zero during the winter." I took her hand in mine and she stiffened. I sat there waiting on her to pull her hand from mine, but that moment never came. When her hand was in mine it just felt right, and when she relaxed I knew she could feel it too. I could see a future with Angela. I would come home from the garage and two little black hair brown eyed children would run out to greet me. Angela would be at the door, pregnant with a third one, just having set dinner on the table. We sat like that, just staring into each other's eyes for what felt like forever. The sun was almost completely gone and I stood up. "We better get back, They're about to start the ceremony."

"Bella said it's supposed to be pretty awesome."

"Yea, she's been to ever fire since her and Paul got together. It's nice being able to include her in this kind of stuff. When we were little we used to hang out all the time. And then one day she was just gone. Charlie called my dad, who rushed the both of us over there. That's the only time I've ever seen Charlie cry. Till Cullen took off anyways." We finally got back to where everyone else was, the fire was going strong. All of the girls were sitting in the front, with a wolf on the ground in front of each of them, except for Leah, she had never been on for the bonfire's in the first place, but they were mandatory now that she was a wolf. Seth had sat in front of that girl Jessica and Embry was in front of the other one, whose name I couldn't remember right now for the life of me. Seth had to know that Jessica was way too old for him. I doubt he cared. Then again I wasn't here when they met so he may have imprinted on her. Angela sat next to Bella and I sat on the ground in front of her.

The ceremony had started and all I could think about was my wolf. I never thought I would move on after Edward, but this past month has been more than I could ever hope for. Paul treated me like a normal person, yet a princess at the same time, even when I was mad at him. Yea, we fought often, but both of us were stubborn, and it made for an interesting relationship. Edward never fought with me. it was always, 'As you wish' or 'what ever you want' , I hated it. Paul at least acted like he had an opinion, even if he didn't really think that it mattered. I chuckled to myself over that.

The ceremony lasted well into the night, and I fell asleep with my arms around Paul's neck before it got over. I woke up with him carrying me to my truck. I smiled at him as he put me down and kissed my forehead.

"Come back tonight?" He asked me with lust in his eyes. I was too tired to do anything tonight, he had to have known that. "Or let me come with you, if you don't want to drive back here. I just want to be with you tonight."

I yawned and nodded to the truck, telling him that he could drive, since I was likely to fall asleep on the way home. I found Angela and she told me that she was staying on the res, with Jacob of all people. As I got in the truck I silently wondered if they had a connection like me and Paul, but shook it off as Lauren and Jessica climbed in the bed of the truck and Paul started to drive. It seemed like we had just left when Paul woke me up telling me that we were at my house. I got out of the truck saying good night to Jessica and Lauren. They weren't that hard to be around when they weren't talking. Then again maybe it's the fact that I wasn't with Edward anymore. Jessica had always been jealous of the fact that he hadn't been interested in anyone until I came along. The lights were on but I figured I had just left them on by accident. As I opened the door I found every last Cullen standing or sitting in my living room including him. I was way too tired for the shit that was about to go down here.

"Why are you here?" I asked with a look of disbelief, talking more to Edward than anyone else. He was the only one I really minded being here. "I thought you were never coming back. Hell, I was happy about it."

"I'm not here to change your mind," He had the nerve to say, "We're moving back. Alice and Rose miss you too much, well, they're moving back, I'm still going to be staying in Denali. I just wanted to say sorry for what I did to you the last time I was in town."

"Well I don't accept your apology, that was fucked up, and if it wouldn't clue in the rest of the world to your little charade I'd have you thrown in jail. I've got nothing else to say to you, get out." The Cullens started to leave, Edward leading them. Only Alice, Rosalie, and Emmett stayed behind. Paul put his arms around my waist as if waiting for me to break down. A smile came on my face.

"I didn't think you liked me Rose."

"No, I like you, I just didn't like that you were choosing this life. It's not something I would have chosen for myself. Even knowing what I know now." She got off the couch and hugged me. This was the most affection I've ever seen her give anyone besides Emmett. The second she released me I was up in the air, Emmett had just picked me up in his arms. Paul was growling.

"Emmett," I tapped him on the shoulder. "I need to breath, Emmett."

"Sorry, I just missed my human," He gave a hearty laugh and set me down, reaching his hand to Paul. "Hey man, I'm Emmett, nice to see someone's taking care of Bella."

"Well I do my best." Paul responded and surprisingly took Emmett's hand and shook it. "It's not easy with how clumsy she is, although I do admit she's gotten better."

Alice got up and hugged me last. It was longer than any of the other's and for good reason. Out of all of the Cullens, I missed Alice the most. she had been there for me when no one else had. When Edward was away, I still had Alice. So what if I had to spend a couple of days a month playing dress up.

"So why didn't Jasper stay?"

"He's...still apprehensive about being around you. He doesn't want a repeat of your birthday."

"What happened on your birthday?" I had not wanted to tell Paul about that.

"Nothing, don't worry about it."

"I'll just ask one of them."

"Ugh! If you must know, I got a paper cut, and Jasper tried to eat me. It's no big deal."

"No big deal? Bells you almost died! "

Alice gave me a look apologizing for saying anything.

"Hey can you guys come back tomorrow? I've got a feeling this is going to get bad." I looked back at Alice with a half-smile hoping she understood the predicament that I was now in because of the topic being brought up. She nodded and started for the door. Rosalie and Emmett got up from the couch and followed her, giving me one last hug before the finally walked out the door.

A/N: Well that's it, Once again I really hope you all like it, and if you do please leave me a review as everyone that I read motivates me to get a new chapter out and makes me soooooo happy!
