So as most of you probably heard there was a huge earthquake on the East Coast and it fucked up my computer because it fell to the floor and broke somehow, so I'm using a friends for now. Thank you for the reviews and all the reads please keep them up :)
For the next few days Paul drove me to and from work. He'd even come in on his breaks and sit at a table and watch everyone who came into the bakery. I knew he was being silly about this whole attack but I was still pretty beat up so I didn't care. I told Rose that I got in a fight with a old friend, which she brought after awhile. Things were coming out smoothly until Paul and I swung by Emilys house to see my car, which was in parts. My jaw dropped and my eyes widen but I couldn't talk so Paul did it for me.
"What the hell guys!" Paul screamed and started to shake. I learned the other night if I touched his arm he calmed down so thats what I did. He looked at me with a aplogy in his eyes but I didn't care. I turned towards Jacob, Quil, and Jared. I put my hands on my hips and waited for them to explain.
"Well were cleaning the parts so when we put everything back together your car will be like new," I sighed and looked down thinking about how sweet that was but also thinking about how far that would put me behind on getting to Seattle. Don't get me wrong I'm learning to love it here but I had a plan.
"Thanks," I told them as I left to go back to the truck when Claire stopped me and started talking about school.
"I like this boy in my class and Aunt Emily or Leah will help me and your pretty so tell me what to do," she pledded with small brown eyes. I giggled and led her to the step and tried to think of things to tell her at this age. I mean my god she's only like five and she already wants a boyfriend.
"Well Claire why do you like him?" I tried to get the obvious out of the way first.
"He shared his cookie me," she sighed with a little dreamy look in her eyes. I stiffled a laugh and kept going trying to get it through her head that she was to young.
"But is that all?" I asked which as soon as I said she blushed and nodded. I licked my chapped lips and pulled my jacket closer trying to think of other things.
"Well if you like him then I say ask him out," I decided to go with a simple route knowing it won't last very long. I mean there five it can't last more then an hour.
"Really?" She said with wide eyes like I just made her dream come true. I nodded which landed me on the porch in a bear hug. She got up and skipped to the house without another word.
"Quil won't be happy," Paul came around the corner with a smug smirk on his face. I shrugged thinking thats just to damn bad. I hopped into the truck and laid down ready to get home and into bed.
"Claire is like what five?" I asked Paul when we left the driveway and were headed home. Paul nodded and said something along those years.
"So see? Quil shouldn't worry about his little sister she seems strong and plus shes five it will be over in an hour or two," I told him thinking about how many times growing up I would see kids in my class date other kids in my class and would break up an hour later because the guy ran out of milk or the girl was to cranky to share that day. Paul chuckled at my words but didn't press on. I played with my fingers as I waited for the apartments to come into view but they next thing I knew Paul yanked the truck to the side of the road and started shaking and growling. I touched his shoulder thinking it would help him but it didn't.
"Take the truck and get home. Once you get there lock the doors and windows and let no one inside," he told me and leaped out of the truck leaving me there to wonder what the hell is going on lately. First the attack and now this? I shut the front door and floored it to the apartments and did as Paul told me. I stayed up until three in the morning being so scared for Paul. When he finally came home he was cut and bruised but he kept saying he was ok. I didn't take that for an answer as I cleaned him wounds up in his room. I didn't ask what happened because I knew he wouldn't tell me.
So I got up to leave him be but he grabbed my hand and pulled me back. He laid me down and told me no to leave him tonight. He didn't want me out of his sight. I listened to him and started dozing off feeling his warmth feel the entire bed.
