THIS IS MY STORY OF HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, JUST LIKE TO PLAY WITH THE CHARACTERS.
PLEASE REVIEW, I APPRECIATE IT.
Chapter 21: You Did What?
We still sat beside one another, staring out into the ocean. Neither one of us had said a word since reaching our decision to try and be friends. It was not going to be easy, there was alot of anger from Paul's side and my side was just plain fucked up. All in all we made a good pair, Not! I still think whoever was in charge was either extremely pissed or high at the time he made Paul imprint on me. I was determined to try though. She looked at, she decided to do one thing. Slowly reaching out her hand, she touched the back of his hand with hers. His eyes closed as if he was relishing the feel of her touch. She stroked his hand gently. He looked down at their hands, sighing and staring out again at the ocean. Well that's one good thing at least I told myself, at least he didn't move my hand away. That's a good sign isn't it?
"I think we should head back to Sam's now, it's getting cold" Paul said standing up and reaching out his hand to help me up which I readily accepted.
He pulled me up gently, but also with enough force to bring me close to him, my hands automatically rested against his smooth bare chest. His arm was around my waist, he looked down into my eyes searching intently. He really was drop dead gorgeous. I was getting a sore neck from looking up at him for what seemed like a lifetime.
"Yeah, we should go!" I said in a whispered voice. Paul licked his lips, ooh fuck, I found myself pulling him down towards me. This was it, Paul was going to kiss me, the guy who supposedly hated me was about to kiss me and you know what? I couldn't give a flying fuck. My lips wanted to feel his against them, he was so close, just millimetres apart, his free hand gently pulled my chin up slightly, his eyes searching my face for some kind of negativity, but the feelings on my part were all positive. Was this the power of the imprint? All this sudden lust and want just appeared out of nowhere, it only appeared when we were in close contact. My heart was pounding, oooooh fuck. My insides were turning to moosh because of this man in front of me, c'mon stupid body, stop responding. Fuck it, I was losing this battle but if I was going down in this sinking ship, I was taking him with me. So I pulled him down further, I felt his breath on my lips, this was it, closing my eyes I waited for his touch.
"Bella, c'mon we need to go, Sam wants Paul back, now" said a voice.
Springing apart from each other, both of us shaking our heads from what was like a drug induced haze, I looked over and saw Jake standing there looking fuming. Paul smiled slightly.
"That was definitely interesting" muttered Paul under his breath.
I knew my face was flushed from the closeness to Paul and our near kiss. This imprint shit was really really powerful. I offered Paul a small smile and walked over to Jake, he wrapped his arm around me protectively, giving Paul a glare. There was definitely no love lost between the two of these boys. Jake kept me tucked in at his side till we got back to Sam's. Once there, I sat on the sofa, Jake automatically sat beside me. I was starting to feel slightly smothered by Jake, he just seemed to be constantly there, I needed breathing space and Jake was not giving me it.
"So, have you two decided to accept the imprint?" Asked Sam as he sat in the chair opposite to me.
"Well, Paul and I have decided to try and be friends, it will be much easier if we just try to get along first Sam, this is new to both of us and I know that we have to deal with it, but this is the best way for both of us I think!" I said slowly looking at the floor.
"Well that's a start" said Sam smiling.
"Yeah, I'll say" said Paul cheekily.
Jake had been off since we had returned to Sam's. I knew he had feelings for me, but what he did next was below the fucking belt. Of all times to speak up, he chose now.
"Well Bella, it's just as well I kissed you when I did eh? Or I might never have gotten a chance plus you had Jared kiss you too" said Jake mockingly, staring at Paul who's face I saw was now set to rage mode.
"Jake that's enough, that was uncalled for!" I said. But he continued as he meant to go on.
"Just think Paul, Jared and I have kissed your imprint before you, sweet eh?" Said Jake sneering.
"What is your fucking problem Jake, Paul has done nothing wrong, just shut the fuck up!" I said shoving him.
"When did Jared and dickhead kiss you?" Demanded Paul.
"Jared only kissed me to get Jake to phase but Jake kissed me just before his phase, he was in the throes of a fever, so you can't be angry Paul! Besides, it was before you imprinted on me, so it doesn't matter" I said angrily, facing him.
"Yeah, before you went and fucking imprinted on the girl I love" Said Jake heatedly.
"Just stop it Jake, this isn't fair on anyone and you fucking know it!" I shouted at him.
"No, what isn't fair is the fact that I love you and you were supposed to be mine Bella, not this pricks, I mean he doesn't even want the imprint or you or he wouldn't have done what he did the night he imprinted!" Shouted back Jake.
I was flummoxed.
"What did he do?" I asked gently. Jake now looked smug. He was just opening his mouth when Sam stood up glaring at him.
"Jake that's enough, she doesn't need to know this" said Sam angrily.
"Yeah she does Sam, she deserves to know that the fucking prick who imprinted on her tried to fuck another girl after he imprinted on Bella, she deserves to know what she's getting involved in, cause she deserves better, she deserves me!" Shouted Jake shaking in anger.
That was when Paul lunged, grabbing Jake by the throat and tumbling out the front door, both of them phasing straight away, I just stood in the living room shaken to the core from the bombshell Jake had just dropped. Paul hadn't wanted me, I knew this, I also knew he didn't like me, but hearing that he had tried to go with someone else just after imprinting on me ripped a new hole in my heart. Billy had told me that Paul wouldn't, couldn't go with anyone else whilst being imprinted to me, that he couldn't hurt me ever, well Billy was wrong about this fact because Paul had both hurt me physically and mentally from what he had done. Around me there were frightening snarls and fighting and I just stood stuck in the one place.
"How could he do this to me?" I asked myself.
The pain in my chest reached a new level as I clutched my chest in pain.
Jared had just literally come back from a short patrol, seeing the state I was in shook him to act straight away. He cane over to me, looking at me in concern.
"What's going on Bella? Are you ok?" He asked.
"He fucked another girl after imprinting on me Jared" I said hiccuping in anger, tears of rage falling down my face.
"Oh, that, he told you huh?" Said Jared softly.
"No, Jake did" I said angrily.
"Well that explains why Paul is trying to kill Jake outside!" Said Jared plainly.
"Jared, can you help me get home please, I can't stay here" I pleaded.
"Of course Bella, but I'm staying with you, you can't be on your own just now!" Said Jared gently putting his arm around me.
Sam was too busy outside trying to separate Paul and Jake from killing each other, they didn't even see Jared and I walking past them and into Jared`s car and leaving the res.
I looked out the window, watching the trees pass by as Jared took me home.
I had resigned myself to the fact that this wasn't going to work out between Paul and myself, for him to act like that so soon after imprinting on me showed me what he was like, and I couldn't handle the fact that he had rejected the idea of me in his life before even giving me a chance.
I had so much anger inside me, I just wanted to go back to the res and slap him senseless.
Jake was right, I deserved better.
