"Bella, I'm sorry" It said
"I know you are Edward"
Edward turned around and walked out of the room. As soon as he was gone I broke. I burst into tears and I felt like I couldn't stop.
"Sh, Bella, it's ok" Paul whispered in my ear, over and over again
"No, it's not! He's back, he's fucking back, this can't be happening!" I knew I was shouting and I had to calm down but I couldn't.
"Bella, you need to calm down please, please calm down, Bella" He begged. I slowly started to calm down. "Listen to me, I know it's not ok, I have no idea how this is going to work. But I do know I'm not going to let him hurt you ok?" Paul said. I nodded
"I just thought this was getting better and then all this happened" I said
"Yeah I know"
"I'm going to get ready so then I can get out of here" I told him.
"Okay, I'll wait in the hall for you" Paul said and walked out.
Well, this is royally fucked up! Why the hell did he have to come back here after all this time? It was fucking shit!
Paul POV
That fucking piece of shit! I was about to punch the wall but that would just end badly as everyone would realise I am un humanly strong. I leaned against the wall and stared at Bella's door.
"You all right?" Jacob asked me
"No, I'm about to kill someone, if they even look at me the wrong way" I told Jake honestly
"I know, I can't believe they're doing this." Jacob said. I looked down the hall and couldn't help the growl that escaped, I was sure the people in the waiting room heard. Skipping down the hall was the fucking pixie.
"What do you want?" Jacob growled, I think I was unable to speak I was growling so much.
"I need to see Bella" She said in a annoyingly squeaky voice
"She doesn't want to see any of you" I growled, I was wrong, I could speak.
"Paul, why are you-?" Bella opened the door and went silent when she saw her.
"Hi, Bella" She said, excitedly
"I'm ready, let's go" Bella said, quickly turning her attention back to me and Jake. Jake turned and started walking down the hall but I didn't move.
"Paul, let's go" Bella said. She tugging my arm now. It was taking everything in me not to phase right now and rip her apart. I could feel myself start to shake slightly.
"Paul, please, let's go" Bella was begging.
"Bella why are you ignoring me?" The pixie asked
"Are honestly asking that question?" Jacob said
"Paul, please stop shaking" Bella begged, I knew I couldn't phase without hurting her but I couldn't calm down until the leech was gone.
"Alice, go" Bella said
"What?"
"Go, Paul's going to phase if you stay here and quite frankly I don't want you here." She told her
"Bella-"
"Go, Alice!" Bella shouted and Alice visibly flinched. She turned around and walked down the hall and turned the corner.
"Paul, please calm down" Bella begged, I looked down at her and realised that she had tears in her eyes. I wrapped my arms around her and I could feel her start to cry again. I looked at Jacob.
"Tell Charlie, we'll be five minutes?"
"Sure" Jacob replied and headed to the waiting room.
"Bella, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you"
"It's not you, I'm crying about" She told me "It's them coming back here and thinking everything is just going to go back to normal"
"I know, if I see one more I'm going to break their neck" I told her making her laugh slightly "You think I'm kiddin'?"
"Nope" She said, "Come on, let's get out of here"
"Bella!" I turned around and saw a giant guy who was a vampire.
"Oh, hell no! Do honestly think that you are going to get to say two words to me? You're such a fucking prick Emmett! I can't fucking believe you and your family thought if you came here everything would be fine!" Bella screamed
"Right come on" I said. I picked Bella up and put her over my shoulder.
"Paul, put me down!"
"You realise if you hit him you're only going to hurt yourself right?" I asked as I carried her down the hall.
Charlie looked up and saw me carrying Bella.
"What's going on?" He asked, trying to hide his smile
"Bella, was about to try and beat up a WWE wrestler back there also known as Emmett Cullen" I imformed Charlie, not even trying to hide my smile.
"Honestly Bella?" Charlie asked and burst out laughing
"Not my fault they're stupid" She tried to defend herself.
"Come on Bella, let's go to Billy's" Charlie said and walked out of the hospital. I dropped Bella down to her feet.
"You alright?" I asked
"Yup, but I am going to get you back for that" She told me grinning.
"I think, I'll live"
"Are you going to Billy's?" She asked
I looked over at Jake
"Can i?"
"Yeah, sure. I think Sam and the guy's want to see you anyway" Jacob told me
"Ok, thanks. I'll see you there" I told Bella. I gave her a hug and then she went out to get her dad.
"I'm surprised you didn't try and beat up Emmett" Billy said, laughing
"Me too" I agreed
"Let's go I don't want to miss the game!
" Yes. God forbid you miss one game in your entire existence" Jacob said sarcastically
"Keep up the sarcasm and no hot dogs for a week"Billy threatened
"That's fine, I can make burgers" Jake replied grinning. I laughed and wheeled Billy out of the hospital, listening to the two of them two still arguing about this. We were about to drive when I remembered my car.
"Jake, can you drop me off at the club so I can pick up my car?" I asked
"Yeah, sure" He agreed and started driving. He parked outside the club and I got out and started walking to my car. There was a piece of paper on the windshield. How could I get a ticket?
I picked it up and read it. It was that girls number, Zoey. Great, just great!
"What is it Paul?" Jacob shouted from his car.
"Nothin'!" I shouted back and got in my car and started the engine. Jacob was already gone. I drove to Bily's house when I got out, Charlie's police cruiser was sitting outside, next to Jacobbs truck.
I walked inside and heard Charlie and Billy in the living room.
"Hey, where's Jake and Bella?" I asked
"Out in the garage. Paul can I ask you a question?" Charlie asked, now I was scared.
"Uh, yeah" I said
"You, go out with Bella?" He asked, I looked at Billy for help but he was sitting there, silently laughing
"No sit, I don't go out with Bella" I answered. The only reason I was saying sir was because he has a gun.
"But you want to right?" He asked, grinning. What the fuck, was this a dare or something?
"Billy did you dare him to do this or somethin'?" I asked, this was just un-comfortable
"No, I didn't do anything" Billy said holding his hands up in surrender
"Fine, yes I would like to go out with your daughter" I told him and walked out of the room and into the garage. Jacob was talking to Bella about something.
"Bella, your dad is evil" I told her and sat down next to her
"What'd he do?" She asked, grinning
"He asked me if I went out with you and then asked if I wanted to" I said and she went bright red.
"I'm going to kill him" She said and stood up and walked inside.
"Wanna, go watch?" I asked Jake grinning
"Yes" He replied and we stood up and walked inside.
"Dad! What the hell?" She shouted at Charlie
"You're not supposed to tell her!" Charlie shouted looking at me, I stuck my hands up in surrender
"Don't blame this on him, he wouldn't of had to tell me anything if you hadn't interrogated him" Bella said
"You're right I'm sorry" Charlie said grinning
"No you're not, you're grinning" She stated "Why did you ask him that?"
"I wanted to see if he would lie" Charlie said. How did he know I liked her?
"Dad, do that at work, not here, goodbye" She said and walked out. I walked out after herand found her in the kitchen with her head in her hands.
"Hey, come on it wasn't that bad" I said moving her hands out of the way.
"It was fucking embarrassing" She stated
"No, I think it was a good thing"
"Why?"
"Because now I don't need to hide my feelings for you in front of your dad" I said and she smiled at that.
"You mean, you're ok now with having your choices taken away?"
"This was a good choice" I said making her smile wider. I wrapped my arms around her and bent down so my forehead was against hers.
"I think I'm ok with this choice taken away" She whispered
"That's good" Just then the moment was shattered when the back door burst open and Embry came running in.
"What the fuck Em?" I asked
"You, Sam needs you, Cullen's are at the line, they want to see Bella." Embry said quickly
"Jake!" I shouted Jacob came in, I knew he had heard what Embry had just said.
"I'm going to fucking kill them" Bella stated and walked out of the house. Me, Jake and Embry looked at each other and then ran out after Bella. When we got to the line Bella was in the middle of shouting at Edward.
"…Who the fuck do you think you are? You left me in the forest and then you think you can come back here and think I will just run back to you! You're such a fucking prick!"
"Bella, love-" She cut him off by slapping him. The crack bounced off the trees, the thing that amazed us most was that Bella didn't even seem hurt; I knew she was but she didn't show it.
"Didn't that hurt?" Sam asked her
"Yup" She answered popping the 'p'
"Edward just go, you said you weren't coming back so go"
"Why did you come back?" Quil asked everyone looked at him. "Come on, you know you all want to know" Quil said
"I came back for Bella, I can't live without you" Edward said
"You've managed this long without me, I think you can live a little longer" Bella said
"Bella, I can't, I need you"
"You just don't get it do you? I. Don't. Like. You! In fact, I want to fucking kill you! You are so full of yourself that you think that everyone loves you but guess what? THEY DON'T!" I had to say angry Bella, was pretty hot.
"Bella, are you just saying this because of them?" He asked
"For fuck sakes!" Bella shouted and kicked him in the nuts. I felt that, Edward doubled over then. All the pack was laughing even Emmett and Jasper was too.
"How did I manage to hurt you?" Bella asked with a giant grin on her face
"Well even for vampires the genital area is very sensitive" Emmett said in-between laughs
"Good to know" She said, "Now go away!" She shouted at Edward
"Two minutes, I can't fucking walk" He replied making all of us burst out laughing again.
I walked up behind Bella and wrapped my arms around her waist.
"I love you" I whispered in her ear and heard Edward growl. Bella went to kick him in the nuts again but I pulled her back. "As much as I would love to see you kick him in the nuts again, I like you in my arms so stop it"
Edward stood up and glared at us.
"See ya, around, Eddie boy" I said, grinning
"Call me when it doesn't work out Bella" Edward said earning another kick in that area from Bella, so quick I couldn't stop her.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Edward shouted making me growl.
"There's nothing wrong with her" I growled out. Edward stood up and walked away his family close on his heels.
"FUCK! My hand hurts!" Bella shouted making all of us laugh except me.
"Let me see" I said and she held her hand up for me to see. It was already starting to bruise and it looked like she might of staved it.
"You've staved it" I told her
"Since when were you a doctor?" Leah asked
"Since I had to live on my own" I told her. "Come on let's go get your hand fixed"
"I'm not going back to the hospital" She told me
"Yeah, yeah, let's go" I said laughing.
"Paul?" Sam asked, I looked at him, he looked really confused
"Yeah?"
"I thought… You know that you didn't want this"He said
"I was a prick" I told him
"Nope, that's Edwards job, you were an ass" Bella said laughing
"Yeah, I was, let's get your hand fixed and then I need to go and do patrol" I said.
"Didn't you have patrol this morning?" Sam asked
"Yeah but I was at the hospital so I missed it and Quil done it for me, so I';m doing his patrol" I informed him
"Oh, alright" Sam said, sounding slightly shocked
"Wow, the man-slut is finally settling? This is un-believable" Leah said sarcastically
"Shut up Leah" Embry told her.
"C'mon, I'll fix your hand" I said, taking Bellas' non-injured hand and walking back to the Black house. We got in and Bella started to wince in pain.
"You alright?" I asked
"Nope, it fucking hurts" She groaned
"What'd you do to yourself now Bells?" Charlie asked, walking into the hall
"I may have slapped Edward" She responded
"That's not all you did" I said, grinning
"What else did you do?" Charlie asked, grinning back at me
"She kicked Edward in the family jewels twice" I replied laughing, making Charlie laugh as well.
"Bella?" Charlie said after he calmed down
"Yes?"
"You are amazing" Charlie said and walked back into the living room.
"Can you please fix my hand now?" Bella asked
"Yeah come on" I said. I pulled her into the kitchen and picked her up and sat her down on the counter.
"You know there are chairs" Bella informed me
"Yeah, but this way, you're slightly taller but you are still a midget" I replied grinning
"I am not a midget, you're just freakishly tall" She said as I started to bandage up her bright purple hand
"I am not freakishly tall. How tall are you?"
"5,8'', how tall are you?"
"6,6''" I reaplied
"Oh my God, you're like the BFG" She told me laughing
"I am not like the BFG"
"Would you rather the BAG?"
"Depends what does that stand for?" I asked
"Big Ass Giant" She told me laughing
"No, I think I'm good with the Big Friendly Giant" I said. "There, your hand's done"
"Thanks."
"I need to go to patrol" I said wrapping my arms around her waist, "I don't wanna go"
"Bella, you comin'?" Charlie asked from the hall
"Looks like I'm going to" Bella said, putting her head on my shoulder.
"I don't want to leave you, can I see you tonight?" I asked
"I don't know if Charlie will let you in" She told me
"I could climb through your window" I suggested
"Ok, I'll leave it open for you" She said, I could feel her smile
"I'll see you tonight" I told her and kissed her cheek. Leah walked in
"Oh, Paul by the way. A girl called Zoey or something came by looking for you. I gave her your number and she said you were to meet her tonight. Looks like you got a date" Leah said smiling and walked away. I felt Bella pull away from me but I kept my arms around her waist.
"I'll see you tonight" I said again.
"No you won't, have fun on your date" She said and wriggled out of my arms.
"Bella, I'm not going on a date" I told her.
"My window'll be locked so don't bother trying" She told me and was gone.
"LEAH!" I shouted and she walked out of the living room. "What the fuck was that?"
"What, Zoey seemed nice, I didn't even know you and Bella had imprinted" She tried to defend herself
"You know fine well I imprinted, you just saw us and then you come and say that! She wont even look at me now! Thanks a lot!"
"Come on it's not like you wanted this imprint anyway"
"Fuck you!" I shouted at her and walked out of the house and phased.
Bella POV
"I'll see you tonight" Paul said again, I felt sick knowing that he was doing this, i was actually thinking he was nice.
"No you won't, have fun on your date" I told him.
"Bella, I'm not going on a date" He said
"My window'll be locked, so don't bother trying" I said and walked out.
I sat down in Charlie's cruiser, I could feel him looking at me as I looked out the window.
"Dad, what're you staring at?" I asked
"You ok? You seem upset"
"No, I'm fine, don't worry" I told him and he started to drive away.
We got home and ate dinner, luckily without a trip to the hospital this time. I said goodnight to Charlie and went up the stairs. I looked out my window and kind of hoped Paul would come but I quickly ignored that thought. I opened my window slightly because it was roasting and went to the bathroom and had a shower. I put my pyjamas on and climbed into bed, quickly falling asleep.
"So beautiful" I heard someone mumble, while stroking my hair. I slowly opened my eyes and what I saw made me jump out of bed literally, I fell onto the floor on my hand that was bandaged up, making me nearly scream but I held it in.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" Edward said and walked over to me but I scooted back the way until my back hit the wall.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, hating the amount of fear in my voice
"I wanted to see you, I missed watching you sleep" Edward replied, smiling. "You really shouldn't leave your window open; you never know what dogs could get in" Paul. Why are you thinking about him? He didn't want you, he's away with another girl.
"Edward get out" I said but he just laughed softly at that
"I'm not going Bella" He told me
"Why not?"
"I missed you, I know you missed me other wise you wouldn't of spent all those months in a comatose state" He said
"How did you-"
"I never really left Bella" He said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world
"Why did you do that to me?" I asked
"I wanted to do a little experiment" He said as if deep in thought. He started stroking my hair and then moved down and stroked my neck. This was pretty awkward.
"Edward, stop touching me" I said trying to pull away but he moved his hand to the back of my neck and held it there.
"It's weird. Knowing I could break your neck in one flick of the wrist. Don't you find that interesting?" I felt sick and I just wanted to ccurl up in a ball and stay there, "You know I was pretty upset when you kicked me earlier. But now I know why. You were just shocked by my return, you were never really angry at me. You still love me" He said and moved so his fore head was resting against mine, it felt like ice.
"Edward, go, please" I begged, I kept trying to move away but he held me in place.
"You don't want me to go"
"Please, Edward, go" I tried again. He moved lower and kissed my cheek, it just felt wrong in every way. It felt even more wrong when he got closer to my lips.
"Edward, stop" I begged but he didn't
"I love you" He whispered and pressed his lips to mine. The hand on my neck got tighter pushing me into him. I felt like I was being dumped into a bucket of ice, I felt that cold. I could feel him try to force his tongue into my mouth but I kept my mouth closed. I could feel tears fall but I didn't care. I thought of Paul which just made me cry more. He moved away from my mouth and started to kiss down my jaw and neck.
"Edward, stop" I begged again but he just ignored me. I felt his hands trail down my sides and stop at the hem of my top. Oh, Shit!
"Stop, Edward, stop!" I said, trying to move away but he kept me where I was. He pulled my top up over my head and just looked at me for a moment.
"So beautiful" He said again. He started kissing my neck again. I closed my eyes and tried to think of anything else but it just kept coming back to either Paul or the fact that Edward was probably about to rape me.
"Look at me" Edward ordered but I kept my eyes closed. "Bella, look at me" He growled, I opened my eyes and saw him take his shirt off and then he stood up and started to un-do his belt.
And then chaos happened.
My window smashed above my head, making glass land everywhere, including my skin. Paul had Edward up against the wall before I even realised he was there. There was so much growling I knew Charlie would hear. Paul was shaking so bad, I thought he was going to phase and Edward looked like he was about to kill something, probably Paul. Then my door burst open, revealing a very scared and angry Charlie. He took one look at me and then at Paul who had Edward against the wall by his neck.
"What's going on?" Charlie screamed
"Go on Edward, tell Charlie what you nearly did to his daughter! Tell him you nearly RAPED HER!" Paul screamed in Edwards' face.
"I didn't do anything" Edward said calmly. Paul punched him in his face making him fall to the floor but Paul wasn't done. He picked him up by the neck and started shaking him so fast Edward was a blur, when he stopped shaking him he started shouting again.
"Tell Charlie, how you nearly raped his fucking daughter eventhough she begged you to stop. Tell him!"
"Bella, come here" Charlie said but I was frozen, I couldn't move, I wanted to run as far away from here as possible but I couldn't look away from Paul.
"Paul" I whispered and he snapped his head around to me, so fast I was surprised he didn't get whip-lash.
"Tell him" Paul said to Edward but he kept his eyes on me.
"Fine, Charlie?" Edward said looking up at Charlie, who looked back sick. "I touched your daughter, she felt good, it was just too bad she wasn't willing" Edward replied grinning.
"Fucking bastard!" Paul sreamed and started beating him so bad I was surprised if Edward got out of here alive and if he did, then we would have to tell Charlie about vampires and werewolves, something told me that wouldn't end well.
"Paul, stop please" I begged and he snapped his head back to me.
"I'm gonna fucking kill him" He told me
"You can't" I told him. I looked up and saw Charlie wasn't there anymore but, just as I was about to say something men dressed in full police gear walked into my room and started to handcuff Paul and Edward.
"Paul, no he didn't do anything!" I said and tried to get up but Charlie walked over and pulled me into my arms.
"Bella, it's ok" Paul tried to tell me as he got walked out of my room
"Paul, no, Paul!" I shouted and tried to get out of Charlies arms
"Bella, calm down, he's only going to get questioned, it's ok" Charlie whispered in my ear
"No, I need him Paul!" Charliie's grip faultered and I managed to jump out of his arms and ran to Paul who was being held my a police officer.
"Bella, it's fine, go back to your dad" He told me
"No, I'm not leaving you" I said
"Miss, you need to move" The police officer told me
"Paul, no you didn't do anything"
"Bella, I'll come and see you when I get out, don't worry. I'll come straight over, I promise" Paul said and kissed my forehead and was led down the stairs.
"See you around Bella, tonight was fun" Edward said walking down the stairs.
"You fucking bastard!" Paul shouted, when he heard what Edward said. I could see him trying to get out of the police officers hold but was failing, which surprised me.
"Bella, come here, someone needs to talk to you about what happened" Charlie said, walking out of my room holding a jumper. I quickly put it on, realising I still didn't have a top on;.
I walked down the stairs, with Charlie on my heels. I sat down at the kitchen table, across from a police woman, who had a note book and pen. Great, you got to love interrogations! I thought sarcastically.
"Bella,tell me what happened" She said
"I woke up and Edward was in my room. I asked what he was doing here and he told me he missed me and stuff. He told me I shouldn't leave my window as I didn't know who could get in. The he tried to kiss me. I told him to stop but he wouldn't. Then he started telling me all this stuff about how he loved me. He…um, he wouldn't stop. He took my top off eventhough I asked him not to and begged him to stop. He then started taking his clothes off and then Paul came in" Now I had to be careful because I didn't want Paul to get in trouble
"How did Paul get in?" She asked
"…Smashed my window" I replied quietly
"Is that why you have glass up and down your arms and legs?" She asked
"Yes"
"What happened when Paul came in?"
"He shouted at Edward and then my dad came in. Paul…hit Edward a few times and then he told Edward to tell my dad what he did to me. Edward told him, Edward said he touched me and it was good, it was just too bad that I wasn't willing and Paul hit him again and then you all showed up and now we're here" I told her, trying to leave out as much violence as possible.
"How do you know Paul Lahote?" She asked, was that his last name?
"I met him a while ago at my friend's house" I lied
"How do you know Edward Cullen?"
"He went to my school" I told her.
"Alright, we'll get your arms and legs fixed andthen we will be gone." She said
"When wil Paul get out?" I asked
"I'm not sure a few hours maybe" She told me and left. I put my head on the table and started to cry silently. I can't believe all of this has happened.
"Bella, it'll be ok" Charlie whispered, rubbing my back, "Come on, let's get this glass out of you and then you can sleep for a little while." Charlie said.
I got the glass taken out of me, which ended up with me getting three stiches in my right arm and five in my left leg. I sat down on the couch and lay down on my side, curling into a ball.
"Dad, can you wake me up when Paul gets' here?" I asked
"Sure, kiddo, try and get some sleep" Charlie said, kissing my forehead. I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.
"Bella? Bella?" I heard. I felt myself being shook gently, I groaned and closed my eyes tighter.
"Bella, it's me" Paul whispered. I opened my eyes quickly and pulled myself of the couch and sat on the floow next to him.
"Hey" He whispered
"Hi" I whispered back
"How're you feeling?" He asked
"I'm fine, why are we whispering?" I asked
He nodded to the chair on the other side of the room and Charlie sat there sleeping.
"Oh, come on" I said and stood up, taking his hand in mine and walking up the stairs. I opened my bedroom door andfroze. I had forgotten why Paul was here and why I was sleeping on the couch. I looked around my room, seeing all the glass and blood that was there. I mustof made some kind of noise as Paul quickly closed the door and pulled me into his arms.
"It's ok, calm down, it's ok" He repeated into my ear over and over again.
"What happened, at the police station?" I asked
"Everything's fine" He said but I knew he was lying
"Paul, what happened?" I asked
"Um, well….I need to go to trial" He said quickly.
"No, no, no!" I cried and buried my head in his chest
"Bella, it's going to be fine"
"No it's not! You're going to go to trial, this is going to get worse, I can't believe this! You didn't even do anything!"
"Apparently beating the shit out of a potential rapist is against the law" He muttered.
"You can't go" I whispered
"I'm not going anywhere" He told me, "Come on you need to sleep" He said and picked me up. He walked back down the stairs and placed me down on the couch.
"Don't go" I whispered. He lay down on the floor and looked up at me.
"Hey, you're taller than me" He said, smiling making me smile slightly
"I love you" He whispered so quietly I barely heard it
"I love you too" I whispered just as quietly.
A/N First of all thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed or favourited my story, really appreciate it and secondly from Saturday onwards for two weeks I wont be updating as I am away for holiday. I will try to do maybe about two more chapters before then but I will definitely update at least once more before I go away.
