I don't anything to do with twilight-sadly-all rights go to their specific owner.

Paul – POV :

I walked onto Bella's front yard and smiled as I started walking away from the small house. I stripped and tied my cut off shorts to my leg. I phased and sat staring with goo goo eyes towards Bella's house.

Paul! I whirled around and growled threateningly.

Who's there? I growled again and stood in a protective stance.

Chillax, Pauly Wauly. It's just lil' old me. I growled at Jarrod. He barked a laugh. I came to tell you Sam wants you back in La Push to help set up the camp fire. So how did it go?

Jarrod has any ever told you how much of a gossiping girl you are? I snapped at him. I started jogging back to La push. Jarrod was jogging at my side. He shoved me a little and laughed a wolfy laugh. You do realize that wasn't a compliment, right? I was seriously starting to wonder about his sanity. Maybe I should talk to Kim about taking him to puppy classes.

Jarrod growled at me. You do and I'll talk to Bella about getting you a shock collar.

I growled and shoved him slightly. It was good to have Jarrod back again I had to endure two months of pure torture hanging around with Sam. Sam was a good guy but I could only listen to 'Emily this . . .' or 'Emily that . . .' I loved the girl but honestly I didn't need to see her like that. I growled at nothing and Jarrod gave me a funny look. What?

You keep growling at than air maybe I should get Bella to buy you a shock collar, He pictured a dog he saw last Tuesday that had a shock collar. It tried to bark at a passing stranger and was shocked. It whimpered and lay down with its head between its paws.

I looked at him horrified. You wouldn't really do that would you?

He shrugged at stopped where I had stopped to give me a wolfy smile. Well he got a treat when his family came home for being a good boy Jarrod shrugged like nothing was wrong.

My god Jarrod that's just way too inhumane. I grumbled shaking my head. I looked up startled when I heard passing cars. We were ten feet away from the main road through La Push. I phased and quickly put my shorts back on. I walked out onto the road followed by Jarrod. He hit me behind the head and ran towards Emily's house. I could tell Kim, Jacob, Sam and Emily were there. I growled and ran after Jarrod. We made it to the front yard before I tackled him. We were wrestling on the ground when Sam and Jacob ran out.

Jacob grabbed me from around the waist and pulled me off of Jarrod. Sam grabbed Jarrod around the waist and held him back. Kim and Emily ran out. Emily to her imprint and Kim went to hers. Kim glared at me and started brushing her hands over Jarrod checking for any injuries. He had a bleeding lip and his eyebrow was bleeding.

"He's fine," I growled glaring at Jarrod, he glared back at me.

Kim whirled around and glared at me. "He's fine? He's fine?! What if he wasn't fine? You are bigger than him and you think it's okay to attack him?" She yelled marching over to me. She looked like she was gonna slap me but stopped when Jarrod yelled at her to back up. I was shaking.

"Well if he can't take it he shouldn't have started it." I said through gritted teeth trying to stop my shaking. I remembered back to Bella. Her beautiful face her gorgeous body and her amazing attitude. My shaking stopped and a small smile graced my lips. I heard Sam, Jacob and Jarrod chuckle. I opened my eyes. "Sorry, Jarrod."

His eyes widened and he put his hand to his chest in mock shock. "Do I dare believe my ears? Did Paul, the Paul just apologize?"

"Shut it mutt boy," I growled at him.

Emily raised her hand. "So I'm gonna go on a wild goose chase here and say you imprinted?"

I stared completely shocked at her. "Ho-how did you know?"

Emily laughed. "Your eyes are different. More open and well they have more love in them. They look the way Sam looks at me and Jarrod looks at Kim. So who is she?"

I sighed. "Bella Swan, the chief's daughter." Emily smiled warmly and Kim apologized for being a jerk. I smiled and laughed again surprising everyone.

"Okay, okay enough about that let's get this Bon Fire on the move." Sam clapped his hands together. I nodded and went with Jarrod to pick up some logs and what not to build the fire. We talked about different things including how I was supposed to tell Bella about me imprinting on her and the simple little itsy bitsy detail I was a werewolf shape shifter thing.

I got back to my place at 6:34 and was debating whether or not to change; I was such a girl some times. Eventually I decided to just go as I was. I walked out the front door and headed to the Bon Fire. Everybody was here, well everybody that could come. I started walking to Sam and Embry but was stopped by someone grabbing my shoulder I turned to see Bella. A smile instantly found its way onto my face. I leaned down and kissed her cheek without thinking. I pulled back and she blushed.

"Hey I was hoping you would come," I whispered.

"Well I figured I would like to see you guys again and I wanted to apologize for uh you know kneeing you." She blushed looking down.

"Its fine, I'm fine, I promise." I decided now would be the best time to tell her about me imprinting on her. "Bella look I have something to tell you but I was wondering if you wanted to go for a walk with me?" I asked nervously.

Bella shrugged. "Sure, but I have to see Jake real quick if you don't mind." I shook my head and bit back the growl that threatened to come out.

She left and I stared after her. She was gone for twenty-two minutes and forty-three seconds, but I wasn't counting. "Hey sorry that took so long but he said he wanted to apologize for uh ditching me." She blushed.

I nodded, I led her to the beach and we started walking through the sand with our feet at the water's edge. I let out a gust of air violently. Okay just let it out, just let it out, c'mon I can do this. "Bella okay I know this is going to sound absolutely ridiculous but I knew you to hear me out please?"

Bella giggled at my expense. "Just spit it out already Paul."

"Okay, here goes nothing," I mumbled mostly to myself. "Bella I'm a werewolf." I closed my eyes tightly not really wanting to see her reaction. I felt her stop and she turned me so I was facing her.

"Paul, what the hell are you talking about?" She demanded slightly angry.

I looked at her with pleading eyes, "I can't explain it, I have to show you."

I started undoing my shorts to take them off and saw Bella blush before turning around. I took my shorts off and threw them to the side; I phased and whimpered for her to turn around. She turned slowly and her eyes widened. She stumbled back a step and I whimpered and backed up so she wouldn't be as scared. "P-Paul?"

I nodded my big head. I slowly took a step forward testing the waters basically. She stared at me for another second before her eyes rolled back into her head and she fell back. I ran forward to try and stop her from hurting herself, but it's kind of hard when you have paws and no opposable thumbs.

I phased back quickly and put my cut off shorts back on. I ran to Bella and picked her up. I carried her to Emily's house which was closest and called her cell phone. I told her what happened and she said she'd be right over with Sam and the others. I went back to Bella and looked at her. My heart shattered she hated me, she was probably disgusted of me.

I brushed a hair that had wrapped around her eye behind her ear. I leaned down and kissed her forehead, for the first and most likely last time.
