Chapter 2

Memories Haunting Me

Wed 9 Nov.

Why am I like this? Why do I feel this way? Why?

"You such a waste! Why are you even alive?" Paul shouted at me. I started to cry. "Why are you crying?" He demanded.

"Because I am you dick!" I answered back, shouting louder than him.

"Ugh! I wish I never imprinted on you!" Paul screamed.

"You bastard! I wish I never met you!"

"Bella! Bella! Bella!" Someone was saying, or rather shouting.

"Huh?" I said into the darkness. I opened my eyes and saw Emily shaking me.

"You okay, darling?" She asked, her face worried.

"Yeah, why?" I answered her. "Well, for one, I heard your screams." My screams. My screams for Paul.

I shook my head. Stop thinking about Paul, Bella! Stop! Instead of saying anything more about Paul, I said, "Sorry, did I wake you?"

"Oh, no, I was already awake, just made breakfast. Come down and eat."

"'Kay Emily." When she started to walk back to the door, I said, "And thanks."

"For what?"

"Me staying. I mean, your letting me stay and all - "

"Oh, please, Sam and I don't mind. Speaking of Sam, he's very sorry for not collecting you." She assured me. I guess I shouldn't be mad at Sam. It wasn't his fault hot sure.

"It's fine, really. He's busy." I said. I mean, he's alpha and all. Commitment to the pack and blah, blah, blah.

"Okay, darling. Come down and eat."

"'Kay."

When Emily left, I hopped into the shower. I took a nice shower. It made me relax, and made me think of my situation with Paul. Yeah he imprinted on me, but I know that I can stop it.

No you can't Bella.

Shut up wolf! Geez, now I'm arguing with my wolf.

But you did imprint on Paul. You felt it. You felt -

Stop! I commanded. I took a deep breath.

I have to make rules. Rules. Rules. Rules.

1) I will, at all times, avoid Paul.

2) I will not look at his eyes, as they hold the beautiful brown colour, that anyone would get lost in, and -

Stop! Bella! Rules about not being with Paul! Not about his eyes - his dreamy and - Ugh!

3) Talk to Sam about the Imprint. Find ways to break it.

You really want to break it? Bella, I know you. You and Paul have imprinted on each other and -

Way to state the obvious wolf. I shook my head. I'll think of something along the way. But just for now, ignore him at all cost. Okay Bella? And okay wolf? But my wolf didn't answer me back. Fine then, be that way. Geez, I sounded so immature and weird.

I shook my head, and put a towel around me and went into my room. Thought Where's my clothes? I looked around and then I remembered I left them at the door, when I told Sam I just wanted to sleep. I winced. That dream or rather nightmare was bad. A very bad nightmare.

Well, might as well go down stairs, my clothes aren't coming here by 'em selves.

I went down and on the last step, I called out to Emily, "Hey, Emily, have you seen my - " I stopped my sentence midway. In the kitchen was the whole pack, looking lustful at me. I cleared my throat and tightened the towel around me. Someone growled. I started to blush, "Um, bag ... ?" I then finished my sentence, lamely and embarrassedly.

"Oh, yeah, near the door." Emily said, then smacked someone's head. I slowly nodded and went to get my bag. When I got, I, again - just to be safe - tightened the towel and ran to my room without looking back at kitchen.

When I got to my room, I locked the door. I opened my bag and got changed in some black leggings, a white tank top, and my hoodie, that said 'Yeah Buddy' and a smiley face on it. I put on my old-really-worn white converse and got my notebook out. I got my bag, and shoved it in there.

How much I wanted to go down and eat, but what I did, it was so embarrassing.

But the douches are there, so I should go and shove there sorry ass and remind them who I am.

And plus, I have to talk to Sam oh - Sam - annoying, stupid, Alpha Sam!

As I walked down the stairs, I notice that there were many pictures of Sam's Pack and his family. Really, the Pack isn't just a Pack, it's a family. A family I have back home in Phoenix. I sighed. The Pack. I miss them. I'll give them a call later.

"You okay Bella?" Emily asked me. I mean, I did stop at the stairs and stated staring at random pictures.

"Yeah, just daydreaming." I answered her.

"Well come down and eat."

"Okay." I answered her.

As I got to the kitchen, I saw everyone eating. Pigs. But they are werewolves, what do I expect? Sam looked up when I approached.

"You okay Bella?" He asked me. Everyone turned in my direction. Great. Now I'm starting to blush

"Yeah, sure, whatever." I just answered.

He nodded and went back to his breakfast. After a few seconds, the atmosphere didn't get any better, so I said, "Um, why don't you introduce me to your - ah friends here Sam?"

"Yeah, Bella, this is Seth and Leah Clearwater, Collin Littlesea, Brady Fuller - "

I interrupted Sam, by saying in my coldest voice, "Yeah, I know the rest. We had a really right relationship, right pricks - oops, I mean guys?" Looking at them now, made me think why their Wolves. Protectors of out Tribe. Such a shame to this Tribe.

Before anyone could say anything, I continued, " Embry Call, Quil Altera, Jacob Black, Jared Cameron and let's not forget, the one and only, Paul Lahote? Remember me?" None of them answered me. "Cat got your tongue?" I asked again, teasingly, but nothing was said. "So, you don't remember me now, but you remembered me before. I mean, I was the girl you guys picked on before. You know, the girl you called fat, ugly and that you, oh - so, loved to tease?" They all winced, but I noticed that Paul looked so sick. Sick of himself I hope. I smirked at him, before saying, in my brave voice, "Well, guess what? I'm back and I'm different. I'm better and improved Bella! So now that you're living here, in my brother's house, will make my revenge easier. So, from now on, I will make your lives a living hell!" I promised them. I got up, smiled sweetly at Emily, as she is the only one I like, and walked outside.

As I got to a tree, I suddenly collapsed. So much pain. So much of Paul's pain. I laid down, taking another breathe. Breathe by breath.

Why am I feeling this way? I'm supposed to be happy. Happy for their pain. His pain. The pain they caused me. The pain he caused me. Not sadness. Not anger at myself. I'm supposed to be angry at them. Tears were now running down my face. Damn you Paul! Damn you. I got up and punched the tree. "Damn you Paul! Damn you." I whispered to the tree. I kept on punching it, till I felt pain on my hand. I looked at it and smirked. My hand was covered in blood. Heaps and heaps. The only way to stop emotional pain, is to physically hurt yourself. And I was hurting myself, my old friend said. But honestly, I feel more on the emotionally part. Again, damn you Paul. I sighed and sat down again. I closed my eyes, and let darkness consume me.

Paul didn't under why Sam was pacing around the room.

"Sam man, calm down." Jared said, trying to calm his Alpha.

"I can't Jared. What if she doesn't like me?"

"Dude, she's your sister. She'll like you."

"Really now?" Paul asked, smiling his mischief smile as he thought of a way to bet.

"Oh no, Paul's got that a face again."

"Paul's always got that face Jared." Embry said, as him, Jacob and Quil entered.

"Shut up if you know what's good for you." Paul threated him. While Embry just rolled his eyes. Paul's patience is always low. He doesn't like it when people put him down, or make him want to phase.

"So, what's Alpha worrying about now?" Jacob asked. "And you got any food?"

"Honestly guys, I think your just here for the food." Sam said, ruffling his hair. Paul knew that this is hard for him, he even saw what was going on in Sam's head whenever they phase. He knew Bella's story. Bella. He knew her from before. Him, Jared, Embry, Quil and Jacob. He didn't understand why he did those things, but he did. Out of pure jealously. For her perfect life. Paul shook his head.

Stop! Stop thinking about her! She's nothing. Not anymore anyway.

"We are. Now speaking of food, where is it?" Embry mock demanded.

"Oven, Emily made a new batch of muffins." Sam announced.

"Thank you Emily." Embry said, running to the oven. "Yummy."

"Dude, seriously. What's got your mind running wild." Quil asked, "Only, not in the way we all think."

"Quil, this is no time for your stupid jokes." Sam said, clearly annoyed at his Pack mate.

"Okay, okay chill dude. Just joking with you."

"Sorry, it's just I don't know how Bella will react. I mean, she lost her mum and step dad. She loved them both – a lot."

"I'm sure she's a bit girl Sam, she can handle herself." Paul assured him. He remembered that time when she kicked him in the balls. Fierce little one.

"Yeah but – "

"Sam! The Cullen's are back!" Seth shouted.

Sam shot up. "What?" He knew Seth was telling the truth. "Call the others. Come on."

"Yes! Finally, some good ol' action."Embry said. Paul rolled his eyes and phased.

"So the Cullen's are back?" Emily asked them. Sam nodded. All the members of the Pack are solking, they wanted action, but never got it. "Okay then." Then the oven beeped. "Muffins?" Everyone shot up and started to shout things about muffins. "Okay, okay. Just grab some food."

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"I'll get it." Emily said, walking to the door. Sam's so luckly to have Emily. Someone to love. Really love forever. Something Paul always wanted. Someone to love him.

"Hello. What can I do for you?" Emily asked.

"I'm here to see Sam Uley." Paul heard a woman say. Paul looked in the direction of the voice. He was enchanted by that voice.

"Okay then. One minute please. Sam!"

"Yeah?" Sam shouted back. Paul rolled his eyes. Wow, Alpha, wow.

"Someone here's to see you!"

"Tell them I'm busy." Sam shouted back.

"I think it's important."

Sam sighed. Paul guesses that he doesn't really want to get up. He knows he's tired from his sister's arrival and the Cullen's arrival. "Who is it?"

"Tell him it's his long lost sister, Isabella Marie Uley." Sam shot up. Oh, that beautiful voice belonged to Bella. Paul thought. He went to the door.

"Sam! You better get out here now! Or else!" Emily yelled, a bit too loudly.

"Emily, what's wro - " From what Paul could hear, Sam swallowed. "Isabe - "

"No, it's okay!" Bella interrupted him. Paul knew the next word will hurt Sam "You didn't bother to pick me up! I guess - no, actually - I know when I'm not wanted. It's was so nice to see you Sam! And you too Emily, hope I can see you soon."

Sam went back to the room. Everyone was quiet. He took a deep breath and fell onto the chair.

Paul heard the door knock.

"Paul, could you get that?"

"Yeah, sure Em."

As Paul headed to the door, he felt this weird feeling that he should actually run to the door. He shook that feeling and opened the door. "Yeah?" He asked.

"Where's Sam Uley?" A beautiful voice demanded.

"He's - " Paul stopped talking and looked at the beauty right in front of him.

Everything Paul had had lived for, his pack, his education, his dead mother, his life. It all didn't matter. Gravity wasn't holding him to the ground anymore. The steel cables are snipping one by one. Everyone, everybody, everything and anything is gone. Only her, only Isabella Marie Uley. She is holding him to the ground. No one, nothing and anything else. Just Bella Uley. His soul mate.

Realization hit him.

Paul! This is bella! The one you bullied and hurt a lot of times! Paul how could you imprint on her! Shit! On Sam's little sister as well. Oh no. she looking at me like I'm gonna be a dead man! Paul! You are gonna be a dead man! You hurt her before!

"Isab - " Paul started to say, wanting to say more. So much more.

"Just move Lahote!" Bella said, angry. Pain was then shown in Paul's eyes. Bella pushed passed him. Leaving him and his heart.

Paul was hurting inside, a lot. He wanted nothing more than to have Bella with him. He sighed. Everyone looked at him. He didn't even growl at them. Normally he would growl whenever some looks at him for no reason. But now he didn't.

Someone started to scream. Paul shot up, knowing it was Bella.

"Paul, you stay here. I'll check on her." Emily said. Only Paul could nod. He felt Bella's pain. And it hurt like hell. He wanted to be with Bella, to hold her, comfort her. Soon, Emily came down stairs and said Bella will be down soon.

After a few minutes, Bella went down asking about her bag but stopped midway as she saw the whole Pack. Paul was looking at her body. She was beautiful. A goddess. Now thinking of it, Paul really notices that Bella changed. She was more beautiful than before. She has wavy brown hair and dark chocolate brown eyes that Paul couldn't stop looking into, like he wanted to fall into in, into her eyes. Captivating eyes.

Bella started to blush and tightened her towel. Jacob growled and Paul looked at him, deadly. But Jacob wasn't looking at him or his glare. He was looking at Bella. His Bella!

Emily told her about her bag and Bella ran for it. Everyone was silent. Paul put his head in his hands. He took a deep breathe.

Sam smirked at him, knowingly, but also deadly. Great, now I have Alpha on me. Great, just great.

Then Bella came down.

"You okay Bella?" Sam asked her. Paul never got to know their convocation. He was too busy thinking of his heart.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Bella just answered. You could see she wasn't bothered.

Sam nodded and went back to his breakfast.

"Um, why don't you introduce me to your - ah friends here Sam?" Bella asked.

"Yeah, Bella, this is Seth and Leah Clearwater, Collin Littlesea, Brady Fuller - "

Bella interrupted Sam, saying in a cold voice, "Yeah, I know the rest. We had a really right relationship, right pricks - oops, I mean guys? Embry Call, Quil Altera, Jacob Black, Jared Cameron and let's not forget, the one and only, Paul Lahote? Remember me?" No one said anything. "Cat got your tongue?" She said, mockingly. She then carried on, "So, you don't remember me now, but you remembered me before. I mean, I was the girl you guys picked on before. You know, the girl you called fat, ugly and that you, oh - so, loved to tease." We all winced, but Paul looked so sick. "Well, guess what? I'm back and I'm different. I'm better and improved Bella! So now that you're living here, in my brother's house, will make my revenge easier. So, from now on, I will make your lives a living hell!" Bella promised them and as we said that, she got up, smiled sweetly at Emily, as she is the only one I like, and walked outside.

Paul then felt pain in if heart. His imprint rejected him. She even promised she will make his life hell. Tears were now running down Paul's face. He collapsed on his knees and sobbed his eyes out, as one again, his love left me.

Again, please review and thanks for reading! :)
