So here's the next chapter for you :) Ps quick Author's note at the bottom.
Bella's POV
It had been a few days since I had seen Paul, and usually I wouldn't be worried. But he hadn't called or texted, Jacob hadn't heard from him and my dad told me he had once seen him hanging around Sam a couple of days ago. I was worried, deeply worried. Was he avoiding me? And if so what for?
I wanted to go over to his house, and ask why he had been avoiding me but I didn't want to sound desperate. I was on the verge of becoming annoyed and I could not think of a single reason why he would be avoiding me.
It wasn't until a week had gone by that he phoned me. He seemed tense and unhappy and it increased my worry.
'Paul?' I asked him, my tone laced with concern.
'Bella.' My name sounded blunt on his lips and I felt a thread of fear sink in. What had I done? 'I… we… need to cool things off.'
'What?! Why?! What did I do?' My voice sounded desperate but I tried to reign it in… at least he didn't say break up.
'You did nothing, something has just come up… and I need to deal with it. It will only be for a few weeks but I promise I will come over and see you as soon as I have things under control'
'But…. My dad…. He seen you with Sam.' My voice shook, I was beyond hurt and confused.
'He's helping me… and so is Jared. They are going through the same thing I am going through.' He told me. 'But I promise Bella, you'll see me soon.'
I wanted to argue, I wanted to tell him it's a decision that we both made. But I knew I couldn't sway him. 'Alright.' I sullenly agreed.
'Bye Bells.' He told me before hanging up.
That night I cried myself to sleep. I knew it was only for a few weeks, but it felt like an incredibly long time and it scared me to think that maybe he wouldn't come back. I kept my sobs quiet, not wanting to wake Charlie, but the tears poured down my cheeks and they wouldn't stop. I wished Paul would come and hold me, but I knew that he couldn't.
The next day in school I found it hard to concentrate. It wasn't just the fact that Paul and I had cooled things down for the time being, but I felt as if something bad was to happen today. I was a little jumpy every time someone would touch me unexpectedly, or ran past me and I could tell my friends were getting a little worried. More than a few times Mike had asked if everything was alright and Angela had told me I could tell her what the matter was. I shared with them the news about Paul and I and Mike had seemed a little pleased by that information. I didn't tell them about the other thing.
Biology was tense and daunting with Edward In the same room. When Edward first walked in, I could not help but stare. He had the same dark demeanour and the same flawless but yet dangerous appearance. A few people looked up and looked a little taken in by him but apart from that no one seemed to care. He looked over at me, his golden eyes twinkling with a glint of darkness. I involuntary shuddered before turning away.
I grew more and more nervous as he walked towards me and something about him drew me in and clouded my senses. But I didn't forget the eerie feel I got whenever he was there. It was still ever present. He smiled at me as he sat down but it looked forced.
'Hello Isabella' He told me in his velvet voice.
'Hi.' I replied quietly before turning back to my book.
It was a long couple of hours and every so often I would feel him staring at me. I would shift uncomfortably before turning my head to look the other way, trying to ignore his presence. It was like that for the full period and when the bell rang I nearly let out a sigh of relief.
I was about to gather my stuff when his cold hand laid upon my shoulder. I turned around swiftly to look at him and tried my best to send him a glair. 'Yes?'
'I just wanted to tell you, you look rather beautiful today.' He meant for it as a compliment, but it still scared me. The way he had said it.
'Well… thanks.' I told him, not knowing what else to say.
'I heard you and Paul broke up?' He asked me, his eyebrow arching a few centimetres.
'Uh, no. We're just cooling things off for a bit.' I smiled weakly looking down. I wanted to escape, I looked at Mike longingly as he slowly edged out of the class room as if he wanted to wait for me.
'Oh, that's too bad.' He cocked his head, as if he meant the complete opposite. 'Look Bella, I would like it if we could be friends.'
'I have told you before Edward, I don't want to be friends with you. I don't think it would be such a good idea.' I furrowed my eyebrows, resisting the pull he had towards me.
'Oh… and why is that not a good idea?' I could see he was getting frustrated as he balled his hands up.
I decided this was my time to leave. 'I…uh… it doesn't matter. I'm late for my next class.'
I nearly ran out of the classroom, only tripping once in my haste to get out of there and into the passing crowed. I was never so relieved to be heading to PE before.
It was when I saw Charlie's cruiser that the feeling of dread got worse. Why was he home so early? Had something happened?
I quickly jumped out of my Chevy truck and went inside calling out for my dad. 'I'm home.'
There was no answer so when I turned into the Kitchen and so Charlie sitting at the dinner table as still as a statue, I jumped.
'God, Dad, you scared me.' I explained, putting my hand to my heart.
'Sorry.' He mumbled so quietly that it was as if he hadn't said it all.
'What's wrong?' I asked him. It was weird to see him so… out of it.
'Bella. You need to sit down.' He told me, his voice sounding distant as he stared at the wall. 'I have to tell you something that I myself just found out.'
I frowned and took a seat opposite him. 'What is it dad? What's wrong?'
He looked at me then, directly in the eyes and told me the thing that would change everything. 'Sam Uley is your half-brother.'
Jacob's POV-
Over the last week I had been feeling more and more ill. I was always way too hot, my muscles ached and my temper had really began to take a turn for the worse. I had also noticed I had grown a lot recently and I had started to fill out. My appetite was increasing but I put that down to the fact that I was growing. My dad had allowed me to take the week off school since I felt completely miserable.
I wanted to go and keep Bella company since I heard that she and Paul were on a break. She must be taking that pretty badly. But I couldn't. I also wanted to go over and punch the lights out of Paul's face for hurting her. Which was strange because I had never felt so angry and violent towards anyone before. Except for maybe her disgusting step dad but that was an exception.
Even just thinking about him brought on a bout of anger and once, a couple of days ago, I got so angry my body began to shake. It was strange and I could not think of a reason for it. I had asked my dad what could be wrong but he passed it off for the flu. But it wasn't, it was something much bigger than flue.
It happened on a Saturday. I was walking down the street when I saw Paul walking along with Sam and Jared. Laughing. Not seeming to have a care in the world. I began to shake from anger again and I tried to stop it, like I had last time but I couldn't. It just seemed to get worse. How dare he break off with Bella just so he can hang about with Sam and his minion?
I let out a fierce growl, which surprised me, and at that noise the three of them turned around to see me with their eyes wide just as I fell on to all fours, my cloths shredded and what stood in my place was a giant fucking wolf.
Well what do you think?! Shocking eh? The drama is just getting started and there is a lot more to come! We finally get to hear from Bella after Paul's phase! I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
On another note I am deeply sorry for the very late update! I know I had said I would get it into you very soon but I didn't. I have been working hard at college and have hardly any time to write this. I had written it all up a month ago but something dreadful happened. My house was robbed, they took my mum's hand bag, two of my bags and my laptop which had the chapter and all of my college work on it! Luckily the college stuff wasn't needed but I was so pissed about losing my laptop and my chapter! I recently, last week, just got a new laptop and I have been rushing to do all my college work. I literally just wrote all this chapter up tonight because I had the time and was desperate to get it up for you. I am so sorry, I hope you forgive me!
One last note, I got a couple of reviews saying there was too much author's notes, which is a fair point so I will keep to telling you important things at the bottom of every chapter. However the two reviewers were slightly rude with their comments and I would appreciate it if you told me in a nicer way. Thanks.
Anyhow, I will try and get the next chapter in much quicker! Don't worry, I am not giving up with this story!
