Okay, so now I know not to mess with the Alpha of the Pack. And Paul actually had to learn that the hard way.
"Sam! She's not waking up!" A loud, demanding, voice said in the darkness. The voice was mixed with worry, sadness and anger. And I found it quite sexy.
Then I realised that that voice was Paul's voice. I mentally scowled myself. How stupid of me to think that I could actually find Paul's voice sexy. Then again, I did imprint on him.
"Sam!" Paul shouted again, interrupting my little monologue.
"Paul man, chill." Jared said. Ha! Paul– the one with the temper actually chill? Again, I say ha!
"How can I?" He was shaking. I could feel his hand shake, and I was actually letting him hold my hand. Wait- Let go of my hand! I tore my hand from Paul's grip and shot up.
"I'm awake now." I said bitterly, looking around. Sam, Emily, Paul and Jared were in my room.
"Bella!" Paul shouted and hugged me. For a split second I actually liked his hugs. Then I pushed him away, looking at my hands. I found them broken and-Wait! What! Why are they-oh. I punched a tree. Oops. I punched a tree.
"Uh – Bella – "
"You can go." I said, harshly, still hating him. He sighed, nodding and got up. One last look from me and he went. Then I felt the pain again. I shook my head, trying to clear everything. Stop Bella. You don't feel this way.
But you do.
Oh shut up! Just remember the bad memories Bella. All of them.
"I'll go with him." Jared said, cutting my thoughts once again. He left, closing the door after him.
Sam sighed shaking his head, then said to me, "Bella – " But I quickly interrupted him.
"Sam … I-uh-" I looked at Emily, thinking of a way for her to go. But she's Sam's future wife. And she's a girl. So she can help me I guess.
"I'll be down stairs." She said, knowing the look I gave her.
"Emily. It's cool. You can stay. You can help me as well." She nodded and sat next to me. I took a deep breathe, wanting to tell my story. "I wanna –"
"Bella. Let me talk first." Sam interrupted. Oh, okay then. Just when I was going to explain myself Sam, you start talking. Okay, gives me more time to actually think. I nodded to him, and he began his story. "Until now –maybe after a few days' ago, I found out that I have a sister. Half-sister - whatever – but a sister no less, but I never actually knew you. I thought I was the only child in my miserable family. So when I found out, I was so happy, but also confused. How could I have a sister? Did dad cheat on mum? And all that stuff, but in lease, I actually have a sister. But what I really wanted to know is if your childhood was as bad as mine.
"When I was a child, my mum took me away to Seattle, right after from my dad started to make my mum a punching bag on a daily basis. She took me from La Push, the place where I was born, were I had my friends and other family members that I loved. She said my father hated me, that he never wanted to have a child like me or even a wife from the start. He knocked up my mum at sixteen, mum was fourteen and her family demanded him to marry her, you know reputation and the family's name.
"To me, he wasn't even a father. He did things to my mum that wanted me to kill him. But I guess my mum loved him too much. While in Seattle, she did everything to help me, with school work, and just being there. She was coping but never actually moved on from the past, from dad. A few years later, she found the news that my dad got remarried, and that they had a child, a girl, that was actually you." Sam took a deep breathe. Emily took his hand and rubbed her thumb on his hand. Tears wanted to escape from my eyes. Sam's life was so f up like mine. His mum was in pain for his husband, Sam and I's father, and I didn't even know him. "She was hurt, destroyed everything she could grab. I was just crying in the corner. To see my own mother hurt like that. I swear it stung like hell. She even wanted to kill herself. But she didn't. She even what would happen if she did. I would lose her. And she didn't want that. I helped her. Made her better, but there was always pain. Then a few months later, dad moved away and left you and your mum – "
"Yeah, I remember. I guess your mum was the same as my mum. Both left by the bastard they call husband and what we call father."
"Yep. Guess your mum was in pain?"
I nodded.
"Mum and I moved back, and everything was alright. Mum never met anyone else, but she died when I was fifteen." I gasped. Sam and I are just the same. Both left by father and mother's died at a young age.
"Sam, I'm so sorry." I told him, sincerely.
"Life's like that Bella. It always is."
"Well, you told my story, guess I should tell you mine."
"Yes, starting with the whole kitchen thing. What happened?" Sam demanded. So, the sad-agreeing-on-pain and all that moment is gone, now the angry moment in on. Perfect.
"Well, let's start at the beginning. My life wasn't that amazing, but what life is? My dad left me and mum just when she found out that she was pregnant with twins. Yes, I had a twin, but that's another story for another time. But, in La Push I was great friends with the adults. I was more mature then the other children. It was easier for me to be with them, the other kids didn't understand the way I see things. I would be lying if I said I was beautiful. I wasn't. I had plain brown hair and plain brown eyes. I was short and cubby. No one liked me. My mum was my best friend. She was there with me through everything. But I knew she wanted more. To get out of La Push, out of the cold and rain, but the memories here are always haunting her and I guess the memories here haunt me too. But back to the story, the bullying started when I was five. I guess I accidently tripped on my own feet and it was a bad timing. Paul, Jared, Jacob, Quil, Embry were there and they laughed at me. I didn't care at first but then it started to get worse. Much, much worse. They started to call me names, about my dad, the way I looked and how I wasn't a full Quileute." I stopped and squeeze my eyes tight. I tried to erase the memories, the teasing, the pain and the crying. I opened them, taking a deep breath and then said, "Everyday, constantly they bullied. I put up with their crap, because I had no one. No one to tell all my stupid problems. I wasn't going to tell my mum, which would make everything worse. I tried to stay quiet, ignore them and not tell anyone, but whenever I did that, the aching pain in my heart got bigger and bigger. I was best friends with Sarah and Billy Black, they took care of me one time, and Jacob called me names behind their backs, but one time, he said it openly. And I tell you, it hurt like hell. I didn't even do anything to them, but they still did those things they did.
"Until I had enough. I asked my mum to move somewhere, anywhere, and – thank God – she agreed, not even asking me why. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona. She liked the heat and sun. I grow up there and my life was so much better. Easier and calmer. I outgrow my 'tomboy' stage and actually grew some guts. I vowed myself that I will never, ever let anyone hurt me again. I never actually showed pain or sadness, I never cried in front of anyone, but I cried in front of the doctors, when they said my mum and step dad was dead. Then I moved on here" I stopped and bowed my head. I wanted to cry, for the loss of my mother, my best friend, and for my stepdad, my father.
"Cry it all out Bella." And when Emily said that, I broke the walls, my strong façade and sobbed. Sam took me and cradled me, while Emily took my hand, rubbing it. I cried; rethinking the memories, that one memory.
"Ha, ha, Bella doesn't have a dad!" Jacob said, mocking me. The other's, meaning Jared, Quil, Embry and Paul were agreeing on him.
"Yes I do!" I shouted at them.
"Where is he then?" Quil demanded.
I didn't say anything. I had no answer. I shook my head, trying to stop the tears. I wasn't going to let them see me cry, again.
"Bella doesn't have a dad!" They mocked again.
"Yeah, but I have a mum!" I shouted at them, thinking it was my victory, but no, Paul had to ruin it all.
"Yeah but she's going to leave you! Like your dad! Everyone's going to leave you!" Paul stopped and smiled cruel at me, "Because you're a nobody, a waste! A nothing!"
Your right Paul, I have no father, nor mother. Your right. I am a nothing. But is that why you imprinted on me? Because I was a nothing, like you?
I shook my head, angry. I got up and ran to the toilet. I locked the door then looked in the mirror. I was a nobody. Was. Not am. I smirked at myself. Paul, I vow to myself I will hurt you anyway, because you hurt me, so, so, much. I will use the imprint, even if it kills me to see you hurt, because Paul, I want to see you hurt, like you loved to see me hurt.
"Because you're a nobody, a waste! A nothing!"
Without thinking, I punched the mirror. I screamed and dropped to the fall. Tears were falling again, like always. I wondered if I had anymore tears to actually fall. I looked at my hand, it was a bit purple, because I punched the tree before and now I punch a mirror. Better that than people. But not minding if it was Paul. His name brought pain to my heart. Stop! Do not react, heart! Do not be the traitor!
"Bella!" Someone's voice rang out, urgent. It started banged on the door. "Bella!"
"What?" I shouted.
"What happened?" Why do you care? I asked the person silently.
"Nothing!"
"I'm coming in!" Like hell you are.
"No! Don't you dare come in!" I warned the person.
"Bella – " Before the person could break the door, I yanked it open. My sights become red. "Bella - " Jared started to say but I punched his face. He shrieked, holding his nose, which was bloody, mine or his, I was somewhat satisfied. I smirked at him and said, coldly, "That won't be the only pain you'll feel." I smiled sweetly at him and went downstairs.
"Emily, do you have a first aid kit?" I asked her as I got into the kitchen. She gasped when she saw my hand. So did the others, which were Leah, Sam, Seth, Collin, Brady and the other bastards I'm going to plan to kill. I glared at them and smirked at Paul's pained face.
"Bella, what happened?"
"Punched a mirror – sorry about that, I'll buy you a new one." I looked through the fridge, wanting to eat.
"And me." Jared said, coming down, still holding his nose.
"What?" Emily asked disbelief.
"She. Punched. Me!" He nearly shouted.
"Jared!" Sam warned. I looked at him and cocked my head.
"I warned you." I said to him, "But you didn't follow. So it's your fault."
"How the hell is it my fault?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" I shouted at him, remembering the memory. Everyone was confused, besides Paul, Jacob, Quil, Jared and Embry. They knew. They used to tease me how cubby and small I was, I told them it wasn't my fault, actually Jared's words were my exact words to them.
I took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to the beach, don't wait up." With that, and one last look at Paul, I left.
Paul's face was so sad. It made my heart hurt. I sighed, laying down on the sand. I closed my eyes and thought of Paul. He was in pain. Because I made him feel pain. And should I like it? No, I shouldn't. And I don't. I actually hate it. I made the person I loved and apparently still love feel hurt. I hate myself. But when I look back, I always wonder if Paul ever felt guilty of making me cry.
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
Well that's alright 'cause I love the way you lie.
"Derrick." I said softly.
"Isa, you okay?" He knew me so bloody well.
"No." I sobbed out. The only person I actually allow to see me cry constantly is Derrick. I loved him like a brother.
"Isa – " He stopped, "Yeah, it is." He said, faintly. He must be talking to the others. "Okay. Isa, it's the pups."
"Isa?" Jeremy asked. The pups' were called Jeremy, David, and Kalen, triples. All thirteen. The newbies of the pack, phased a few months ago. And I loved them. I was practically their mother, as they didn't have one.
"Babies!" I all but shouted. I got instantly happy by just hearing their voices.
"Isa!"
"Mummy!"
"Give me the phone!"
Was all I heard from them. I laughed out loud. "Babies, be nice to each other."
"Yeah Kalen!" David shouted.
"And don't shout." I warned them
"And don't bloody break my phone!" Derrick shouted at them.
I faked gasped. "Derrick Jordan, do not swear in front of my babies!" I tasked at him.
"Ha! You got told off." The three shouted, while laughing.
"Geez." I could practically hear Derrick's eye roll.
"Babies, put the phone on speaker." I suggested to them.
"Okay, done. So mummy, how are you?" David asked.
"I'm fine baby, but – " I stopped talking when I heard a scream from Derrick's phone.
"Is that Isabella?" I heard from Jenny.
"Jenny!" I shouted to her.
"B! When are you coming back! I need you like plants need water, like human's need air, like – "
"Oh shut up Jenny!" I heard Alex say.
"Oh my gosh, Jen!" I said to her, giggling.
"B! I need you!"
"Seriously, has gross can you be Jenny?" I said to her, teasingly.
"Ewe, sis. Not like that, I don't roll like that, but I miss you babe!"
"Me too. All of yous. I miss you all! I wish I could just hug you guys to death and give you all kisses!"
"Yeah, I want that!" John said.
"Dude!" I said to him.
"Mia!" I heard a voice scream, but it wasn't from Derrick's phone, it was on the beach. A little girl's scream. I jumped up and ran to her.
"What's wrong?" I asked her as I came to her.
"My sister's in the water." I looked at the sea and saw a head bob up and down.
"Stay here." I said to her. She nodded and I ran to the sea. I dived in and swam for the girl.
"He- he – pl!" She tried to say as the water kept pulling her down. She went up and I quickly grabbed her and held her up, as her waist was over the water. I put her on my back and started to swim back to land.
"Mia!" A woman said. She must be the little girl's mum. I got Mia off my back and I handed her to her mum. "Baby." She kept on saying, over and over again.
"Thank you." A man said. I nodded to him. Must be the father, I guess.
"Thank you." The same woman said. I nodded to her, grabbing a towel and placing it on the girl.
"You okay?" I asked her. She nodded and whispered a thank you. I smiled at her.
"Thank you so much, how can I repay you?" The man said. "Oh, I'm Steve." He held his hand out.
"Bella." I said, shaking his hand. "And no need."
"Bella!" Sam shouted. He ran to me and draped a towel on me. "You okay?"
I nodded to him. The little girl, Mia's sister went to me and hugged my legs. "Thank you Bella." And then kissed my cheeks.
"Thank you Bella, but I will repay you." Steve said.
"No, no. It's okay." I told him. "As long as Mia's okay. You should bring her to the hospital just in case."
"Thank you again Bella."
"Bella, you're a hero." Leah said to me. I was in the kitchen, helping Emily and Leah with dinner.
I snored and shook my head. "I am so not."
Bang!
I jumped from the slamming of the door. I walked to the door and saw Sam looking deadly, Collin, Brady and Seth looking worried. And Jacob, Jared, Embry and Quil, looking terrified. I wondered where Paul was. As on cue he came in and I gasped. Paul looked ruined. His face was mashed up, but still beautiful. I shook my head, clearing the thought. Both of his eyes patched black and there was blood on his body, scratch marks and bite marks. He looks like he's been in a war. I wanted to ask if he was okay, but I couldn't, I couldn't stop looking at his body, his scars and the blood.
"What happened to Paul? Fought a lion?" Leah asked, smirking.
"No, a wolf!" Jacob laughed out, uneasy.
"If you don't shut up now, you'll all end up like him." Sam snarled at him.
Jacob bowed his head.
The oven beeped after the long silence. "Dinners ready." Emily said. She walked into the kitchen, so did Leah, followed by Collin, Brady and Seth. After long looks at Jacob, Jared, Embry, Quil and Paul, Sam followed as well. I looked at them and flinched. They were hurt. And I actually cared. I know not physically but mentally. Sam did or said something that made them like this. I sighed and walked into the kitchen.
"Explain everything to me Paul!" The Alpha demanded. "PAUL!" He roared out.
"How?" Paul asked.
"How? Show it to me you idiot!"
Every memory of Paul's poured out. Hurting Bella, being rude to Bella, making Bella cry, every single one of them made Sam's blood boil. His snarl went louder and louder.
"I don't know why, but I love her."
Paul stopped thinking and Sam growled at him.
"You loved Bella?"
"No! Love! I love Bella!"
"Since when?"
"I don't know, Sam. But I did love her! Even before the imprinting, even before she left. Sam, when she left, it hurt like hell!"
"Don't go on and on about this 'hurting like hell' Paul! You should see Bella! She's the one hurting here! Who's been hurting for so long!"
"You think I mean it?"
"Yes Paul. Because if you did, you would have made up with her a long time ago!"
"Dude, I was young!" Paul screamed.
"And you still are!" Paul growled and bared his teeth at Sam. "You should be thankful that I'm not making you leave her, because you and I both know that would kill her!"
"I would never leave her!"
"Really Paul? How much do you wanna bet? A cent? Dollar? Million?"
Before anyone could stop Paul, he lunged at Sam. Sam jumped and dodges Paul. Sam bit into his leg and held him there. Paul tried to escape but he couldn't. Sam bit harder and Paul whimpered. Sam threw Paul into a tree. You could hear the crack of Paul's back. Paul whimpered again.
"Get up!" Sam demanded, but Paul didn't obey. "Get up and fight or you'll never see Bella again!"
With that Paul sprang at Sam, trying to bit him. He saw red, and he wanted Sam dead. He couldn't take Bella away from him. Sam bit into Paul's back.
"You better do everything in your power, Paul Lahote. Because I honestly don't want to lose my sister again." With those final words, Sam phased and left.
Paul phased into his human form. Think of what Sam just said, he whispered, "I vow that I will do everything in my power to make everything up for you, Isabella Uley. I will do everything to make you love me. I will be your Imprint. Even if it kills me."
So, Bella vows: "Paul, I vow to myself I will hurt you anyway, because you hurt me, so, so, much. I will use the imprint, even if it kills me to see you hurt, because Paul, I want to see you hurt, like you loved to see me hurt."
And Paul vows: "I vow that I will do everything in my power to make everything up for you, Isabella Uley. I will do everything to make you love me. I will be your Imprint. Even if it kills me."
So, what ya think's gonna happen now? lol.
Reviews? Yes please :)
