Chapter 8

Paul!

-Emma's Pov-

I quickly shoved the small metal rock in my draw and walked out of my room. I have been studying the rock for a few days and all I have come up with is that some kinds of religions or tribes use them for weapons, and the writing is a warning or something. I fell asleep before I could read anymore.

"ah-th-lah-chid" Sarah asked -which means where are you going in Quileute- as I walked out the front door with the car keys in my hand.

"Down to first beach. The person that rang before was Paul. He needs to talk about something important, I have no idea what though" I smiled as I quickly ran to the old banged up yellow HQ Holden.

"ok be safe, have fun" she called as I jumped in to the front seat with a wave. Whatever Paul wanted sounded important.

The car started with a loud rumble and I slowly backed the car out of the drive way, hoping Jacob didn't notice I was going somewhere. Bella is at his house and after seeing the way he acted around her today made me want to get away from here as soon as possible.

The road was still wet from the rain that fell early in the morning and there was a slight mist coming from the woods. Suddenly my small brick like phone started ringing. I searched around the passenger seat until I found it.

"Hello" I said keeping my eyes on the road. If Sarah new I was talking on the phone and driving she would kill me by giving me the whole speech about safety first..

"Sup Emma" the voice on the other side of the line said.

"Hey Quil" I smiled in to the phone.

"Me, Jake and Embry were wondering if you would hung out tonight, maybe a movie night or something." He said cheerfully, in his high squeaky voice.

"Yeah sure, I just need to take care of something first k?" I said. Another voice was mumbling in the background.

"what did she say… she said she can but has to take care of something first… what is she taking care of. Who's she seeing" they said to each other. "no one" Quil spoke again.

"Quil?" I asked wondering what was going on.

"Give me the phone…" the voice said. "no." Quil replied. There was some crackling noise's and some fighting.

"got to go Em, talk later" he said and the line was cut off.

"ok?" I said to myself as I through my phone back on to the passenger seat.

I took no notice of the weird conversation I just had with Quil because I was more set on weather I should turn around and drive home or keep going to the beach and talk to Paul. Even though it sounded important I wanted more to know why Paul was being so nice.

After all the stories I have heard from Sarah about Paul, he seemed more the violent type. Sarah once told me about a huge violent out burst he had over someone eating his food but the Paul I see when he's in front of me is different.

I sighed as I changed gars. Of course the gars got stuck, this car is a peace of crap but I would love it just as much if it was a brand new modern car.

I watched the road carefully as I pulled up to the car park. I couldn't turn back now, I was here and I couldn't just leave him. He wanted to talk and talking was as little as I could do for what Paul has done for me.

I parked the car, grabbed my jumper from the back seat and my phone and hopped out. The cold was the kind that makes your nose feel wet as soon as you breathe in.

"where is he?" I asked as walked down to the sand. I looked down the beach as far as I could but there was no one in site. The mist was coming out from the woods and spread down the beach.

"Emma" someone said and I jumped. I turned around to find Paul, shirtless and in a pair of cut off jeans.

"Paul, you scared me." I said with my hand on my chest.

"Sorry." he said simply. We turned and started walking down the beach.

"so what did you want to talk about?" I asked trying to keep up with him.

"I just wanted to.. Talk" he said watching in front of him.

"ok, about what?" I walked a bit faster.

"about everything. How your going and just shit like that" he said.

He wants to know how I'm going?, I thought to myself.

"ok well.. I'm fine I guess." I frowned. I was ok but still had that thought of Jacob and Bella.

"Emma" Paul said breaking my train of thought.

"Yeah" I said lifting my head to look at his face.

"you just growled" he said with one eyebrow razed.

"did I?" I looked down to the ground. "I'm sorry"

We walked in silence for a moment until Paul stopped. His body was stiff and his upper lip was razed in the corner. He didn't look very happy.

"what's wrong Paul?" I asked putting my hand on my forearm. His skin was hot, burning almost. I didn't pull away this time, I got use to it pretty fast.

"him" he said lifting his eyes to along to beach. I followed his gaze to find a tall, tanned guy walking out of the near by forest and up to us. He was smirking.

"oh." I said and dropped my hand from Paul's arm.

The boy strutted up, shirtless with a pair of blue and black boredy's on. Paul whispered something under his breath and clenched his fist's together tightly.

"What do you want" Paul said coldly to the guy.

"hold on there Paul, don't shoot the messager" He said smiling with his hands up. "I only came here to tell you something from Sam."

"what is it" Paul snapped. I got the feeling they didn't get on very well. But Paul was starting to act like the stories I had heard about him. For some odd reason I felt better.

"who's this pretty little thing?" he said walking over and grabbing my hand.

"hi, I'm Tyler" he said kissing the top of my hand.

I pulled my hand from his grip and smiled uneasily.

Paul snarled and pulled me away from Tyler. Paul was shaking violently and looked like he was about to explode in rage.

"what do you want!" Paul said harshly. Tyler smiled, which only pissed Paul off more.

"Sam wants me to hang out with you." Tyler looked at me and razed his eyebrows repeatedly. "and your lovely little friend."

"Bullshit!" Paul snapped back.

"w-who you calling l-little" I tried to sound tough but he made me so nervous. He was acting like Mike did at the bonfire.

"awww your so cute when your acting big" Tyler said making a weird kissing face. He walked right past Paul and smacked my ass, putting his arm around me and getting close to my ear.

"I have a thing for cute things" I flinched away from him, memories of the bonfire came flooding back in. Mikes voice rang through my ears and tears lightly filled my eyes. I sat there frozen until I heard a load growl.

"I have had enough of your fucking shit" Paul yelled as he brought up his fist. Paul through his fist forward crushing Tyler's nose under his fist. A cracking sound ripped through the air and when Paul returned his fist to his side, blood was all over Tyler's face.

"dude your broke my nose!" Tyler yelled under his hand which was holding his now broke crooked nose. I flinched away as he put it back in place.

I turned to Paul, who was breathing heavy and his whole body still shaking violently.

"Paul are you ok?" I asked. he wasn't the one I should be asking but Paul is more important then this pervert. He didn't answer, I started to worry.

"Paul" I put my hand on the side of his face "answer me please"

He looked up at me, his eyes dropping from the hard look.

"what, no love for me baby" Tyler said from behind. Paul snarled again, this time more rage radiated off his huge shaking frame.

He grabbed Tyler and started dragging him away. "Stay here Emma" he ordered me and pushed him in to the misty forest.

I sighed and sat on the huge rock next to me. well now I have seen Paul's normal side, I thought as I brushed my hair out of my face.

"I hope he isn't to long" I said to myself. After seeing his out burst I wouldn't him around. That was two perverts he scared away.

Jacob crept in to my mind and I smiled to myself. He is everything in a guy, every girl over the world would want. I smiled again, his bright white smile played over in my head but just as quick as it entered my mind, so did Bella.

The way he acted around her today made my heart sink. He looked so happy, more happy then he ever has been around me. It was almost like… like. I couldn't even think it. I shook my head and pushed them out and tried to think of other things.

"Emma" Paul called, I looked up and Paul was waving me over.

I stood up and shoved my hands in my pockets and walked over to him. As I got close he walked back in to the forest.

"Paul wait up" I called after him.

I walked in to the forest, trying to follow Paul though the mist but I could hardly see him. soon enough I found him.

"what are we doing out here?" I asked smiling. If I smiled maybe what happened before wont come up in conversation.

"Emma your not ok. you look like you haven't sleep in days. What's really wrong?" Paul asked concerned. He could tell I was not ok. I gave in, I couldn't lie to him and everyone else anymore.

"nothing its.. just .. Jacob" I looked away from him, pulling my hands from my pockets.

"What did Jacob do?" Paul asked in a deadly serious voice

"he's been hanging out with Bella Swan a lot and... I just feel.. ditched" I looked down to my feet and slumped on to the rock.

Paul growled inhumanly. "He's fucked up in the head if he'd rather hang out with that leech lover than you," he spat out.

I flinched from his growl and I felt a little uneasy "but I think he" I couldn't finish what I was about to say. It ripped at my heart but just from the way he acted around her said it all.

"I think he loves her though." I chocked back the tears. "and I want him to be happy...i guess"

The anger was radiating off Paul. "Jacob is blind." he seethed.

It was then I realized that he was shaking again. I took a slight step back, not sure what to do.

Paul looked it to my eyes and he must of seen the tears welled up. His face contorted and he spun around and drew his large right fist back and took his anger out on a unsuspecting tree. To my surprise the tree snapped clean in half. I gasped as the tree top cracked and fell to the ground. I almost felt sorry for Tyler, the hit he took was just as hard but he deserved it.

I stared at Paul astonished.

"Paul, did you just break that tree in half?" the surprise was clearly evident in my voice.

"Yes... want me to do it again?" he asked smugly. He had stopped shaking and was a lot calmer.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He smiled at me.

I looked at him skeptically.

He sighed and held his hand out for my inspection. I grabbed it and scanned it with my eyes. The top half was fine, except his knuckles were a little red. I turned it over gently in my hand and saw that the palm of his hand was fine as well. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Believe me now?" Paul grinned.

"yeah I believe you now." I razed an eyebrow. It was oddly enough he growls but his hand being fine after punching a tree in half is just weird. As I was thinking about all the odd things I have seen and heard over the last few days my stomach rumbled.

"say Paul, do you want to come back to mine and have something to eat?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Paul's eyes, but it was gone in a second.

"Are you sure? I eat a lot." he said slightly shy.

"Course, I'm sure I can cook enough to kill your appetite." I told him.

Paul looked at me, slightly stunned. "Y-you're c-cooking?"

I looked back at him, a little hurt. Paul's eyes widened.

"I didn't mean it like that! I meant that I didn't think you'd be cooking for me, I just assumed that Sarah would because she's your guardian and she seems to love to cook because she cooked dinner for us the other night" he rambled.

I laughed a little. "It's okay, I get what you're trying to say."

Paul grinned and put an arm around my shoulders.

"So what do you want to eat?" I asked walking in to the kitchen.

"Whatever's good with me. What do you want?" Paul asked me kindly

"I feel like something.. meaty, how about steak?" I said cheerfully, grabbing the lager slab of meat and holding it up to Paul.

He looked at the piece of meat lustfully.

"Please," he begged with his warm eyes.

I laughed and sat the meat down.

"ok, so how hungry are you?" I smiled.

"Really hungry. Four would probably be good," he smirked.

I'm pretty sure my eyes popped out of my head. Paul laughed at me.

"Y-your sure f-four?" I asked skeptically.

"Yep," he popped the p.

"Okay then," I laughed a little and got out five steaks. Someone then knocked on the door. I handed Paul the steaks.

"Paul do you mind starting to cook these?" I asked him.

"No problems," he smiled. I smiled back and went to open to the door. The person knocked on the door again.

"I'm coming!" I called out. I quickly opened up the door to find Jacob and Quil standing there. As usual just the look of Jacob took my breath away.

"Hey," he grinned.

"Hi," I breathed.

"Hey Em! Can I smell food?" Quil asked.

"Umm no..." If Jacob knew that Paul was here he would be really angry. Quil tried to push his way past me , but I blocked the entrance.

"Emma... who's here?" Jacob asked suspiciously.

"Umm no one." I told him.

"Emma, do you have any bigger pans?" Paul called out. Jacob's eyes darkened and his facial expression turn hard.

"Why's Paul here?" Jacob sneered.
