Chapter 14

Paul Please, I'm sorry.

I walked out from the bathroom and in to my room to get dressed. Paul and Jared were staying with me for a few days because Sarah had to go see a sick friend and the bear is still around, although Jared would laugh every time someone said something about it.

I got out a singlet and shorts and quickly dried myself as a sad song came on my iPod. I pulled my eyebrows together and turned it off.

Paul hasn't said a word to me since yesterday and I was starting to worry, but everything with Jacob is fine. I smiled to myself as I thought of him.

I finished getting dressed and walked out to the kitchen, Sarah must have gone when I was in the shower because there was a note sitting next to the finished plate of cookies and a crumbed faced Jared.

"has Sarah gone?" I asked as I got out a can of coke.

I looked up to him sadly, Embry was playing Halo 3 on my Xbox, yelling and grunting if he got shot and Paul was no where, most likely out side staying away from me.

He gave me a sympathetic look.

"She left a while ago," he answered.

"Oh okay. Where's... Paul?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to know the answer.

"He's chopping up wood for the fireplace," Jared told me, while brushing his face with the back of his hand and sat down next to Embry on the floor.

"Can I go outside and see him?" I said nervously.

"Umm... sure." Jared answered me without taking his eyes away from the TV.

I sighed and walked outside.

Be careful Emma, Paul has a temper.. Remember, the voice spoke as I walked down the front stairs.

I found Paul around the side of the house. He was swinging a small axe back and forwards dealing deadly blows in to the hard pieces of wood.

I stepped on a dry left and he froze, all his muscles tensing up.

He swung around and faced me, he looked ready to fight and I put my hands up. When he saw it was me he relaxed, but his eyes went cold.

He went back to chopping, his whole body facing away from me.

"Paul, are you angry at me?" My voice quivered.

He didn't respond, he just kept chopping except harder this time, making small chips of wood go flying.

"Paul, are you angry at me?" I asked again.

"What do you think?" He said coldly.

I flinched backwards.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you." I said sincerely, hoping that he would accept my apology.

"Well you did."

"What can I do to make you not angry at me anymore?" I asked.

He paused for a second and then spoke.

"Just go back inside Emma."

There was none of the usual warmth in his words, they were icy cold.

"But-" I tried talking but Paul cut me off.

"go inside!" he said harshly.

"please" I said in almost a whisper, my voice shaking.

He swung the small axe up then down hard, splitting the piece of wood in half, and grunted as he did so.

I whimpered and bit my bottom lip, holding back the tears that had welled up in my eyes. I turned around mindlessly and walked back to the house.

As I walked in Jared was playing against Embry now and there eyes were clued to the TV. I was thankful because then maybe they wouldn't ask what's wrong. I walked past them to the hallway but was quickly met by Jared's voice.

"Em, what's up?" Jared said and I froze.

"N-nothing" I replied, trying not to sound upset but my voice betrayed me.

"oh.. ok" he said but didn't sound convinced.

I strolled to my room blankly, not letting the tears fall and trying to keep myself together. I walked in and sat on my bed, the sound of Paul chopping the wood was soft but still there.

Jared walked in to the door way and sighed.

"give him time bub, he's just angry because of that Jacob kid" He said reassuringly.

"I know but I couldn't help it, Jake's my best friend" I replied with a sniff and I blinked the tears back.

He was soon met by Embry, both the huge boys took up the door way and probably most of the tiny hallway. Embry was silent but he gave me a soft look.

"just try and find something to do for a while. He will calm down by the time dinner comes around." Jared said with a smile.

I nodded, Jared does know Paul well so I took his word for it. They left and Embry shut the door for me with a smile.

The sound of chopping wood stopped. Paul was probably coming inside to hang out with the boys.

At first there was just mumbles down the hallway and then there was slight shouting.

"No I will not do that!" Paul shouted angrily.

"Paul," Jared warned loudly.

I sighed and put the ear phones of my iPod in to my ears and turned my music up all the way. Emergency by Paramore blasted through the earphones and straight in to my ears.

"I think we have an emergency, I think we have an emergency.

If you thought I'd leave you then you were wrong." I sang quietly to myself, laying back on my be and closing my eyes.

A loud knock on the door brought me back to my room. I took the ear phones out my ears.

"Come in," I called out softly.

The door opened. Paul stood in the doorway, but didn't come in.

"Hey," he said quietly.

"Hi," I replied.

"I'm giving you a chance to explain, so go ahead," Paul prompted.

I thought about where to start.

"Sorry, I just can't help it Paul. He's my best friend," I sighed.

"So you let him use you as his doormat and you have to hurt me as well?" his tone was questioning, yet angry.

He leant on the doorway and glared at the floor. I sighed.

"Can't you tell I don't want to be a doormat. Can't you tell that I don't want to hurt you?" I asked him sadly.

He stayed silent.

"Please believe me, I would never want to hurt you," I begged him to believe me.

Paul sighed and walked over to me.

"I believe you," he told me, looking into my eyes with his now warm again ones.

I sighed in relief, happy that he was back to normal.

"But why do you let him use you as a door mat?" Paul asked, making my heart stop.

A cold bead of sweat went down my back. Could I tell Paul that

I love Jacob? If I do what will his reaction be? More importantly if I say this out loud to him, it will make it final. I will have said I love Jacob.

"Em, why do you let him do that?" Paul asked again.

"B-because... I love him Paul..." I told him.

Paul's eyes opened wide.

"Y-you l-love him?" Paul stuttered.

I nodded my head.

Paul started to shake ever so lightly.

"Oh alright." He said through gritted teeth. "I have to go... somewhere. I'll see you later Emma." He turned on his heels and left.

"Paul wait! Was it something I said?!" I called reaching out after him.

His reply was silence and he disappeared around the corner. I felt my heart sink, I had hurt Paul again. But how could I? I'm such a bad person.

I heard arguing from the living room and the front door swing open.

"Paul clam down." from what I could gather Jared said.

I drifted to my bed room door way and listened to what they were saying.

"do we have to get Sam over here?" Embry was talking now.

Paul growl and the door shut closed with a loud bang. I couldn't leave it like this, he's done so much, been so nice and I just hurt him twice.

I rushed over to the window and opened it, climbed out and jumped down. I was surprised I didn't fall but that wasn't I was worried about.

I couldn't see Paul but at the border line were the clearing that surrounded my house, the trees moved. I quickly walked after him and through the trees in to the forest. It wasn't as dark but the forest floor was misty.

"Paul" I said softly as I walked more and more in.

I walked in, not caring how far I was going, I just needed to find Paul. Just make things right with him so we could be friends again.

"Paul" I called out a bit louder, but no reply.

I heard someone just a bit more in to the forest. I walked through but couldn't see the forest floor and tripped over the a root of a tree.

"fuck" I whispered and I sat up and checked my leg.

I scraped my knee but not bad. A cut beaded with blood but I blind sighted the pain and stood up. My iPod fell from my pocket and I quickly grabbed it and pushed myself past the huge red wood tree.

"Paul…" I said catching my breath, hands on the top of my knees and puffing heavy.

"Paul?" a soft, charming voice questioned, that wasn't Paul's.

I looked up quickly to find a puzzled boy standing against a tree, his skin milky white and eyes a sparkling amber. He looked like he was hiding from something.

"ahh sorry, I'm looking for my friend." I said standing upright and put my hands in front of me, nervously.

"aren't you out a bit far to be looking for your friend by yourself?" he questioned with a lifeless face.

His hair was jet black and his clothes all dark colors, he didn't look happy. In fact he looked nothing, emotionless but his eyes some what lost.

"hmm yeah" I answered, he's right I am far out and Paul is no where. Its like he just disappeared. I looked up from the ground, I didn't even notice I looked down.

"are you lost?, I haven't soon you around here before" I asked him.

"no I'm not lost" he said stepping down from behind the huge tree and sat on the rock next to it. He sighed and looked up to my knee.

"are you hurt" he said pointing to the dry blood on my right knee.

I looked down to my knee, I hadn't noticed how much to had bleed. Paul was to much on my mind and it only hurt when I moved my leg a lot.

"oh.. No, its just a scratch." I smiled.

When I looked up to his face it was different, it has emotion played on it. He looked worried, almost disgusted. I pulled my eyebrows together at the way he was staring at my knee. He felt that I was uncomfortable and looked up.

"I'm William, its nice to meet your acutance" he said getting up and bowing with his arm in front of him.

I though it was odd for him to do that but he was nice. He hasn't done anything to hurt me yet so why would he now.

"Hi, I'm Emma" I smiled with a small wave.

A small smile tugged at the sides is mouth. It looked like he hadn't smiled in years, or didn't know how.

"its lovely to meet you Em-" we where cut off by a loud howl.

I turned around to where it was coming from and listened for it. Again a loud howl coming from behind me but it sounded closer.

"what was that…" I whispered to myself and turned to find the strange boy, William, was gone.

"what the hell" I said out load as I looked around for him.

"Emma" someone said from behind me and I spun around to find a tanned boy rushing over to me.

"I was so worried about you" Paul said pulling me in to his warm arms.
