Billy's POV
"OK, The reason I called for this meeting is because Sam is getting close to phasing, I think once the changes are complete, We should stop phasing" I say looking at the guys awaiting there reaction.
"But shouldn't we be the ones to show him the ropes, He's not going to know how to handle the changes by himself"
"We will Harry the first time he changes we will show him all he needs to know, Then after he has a grasp on the situation we can stop phasing and start to grow old with our families, Isn't that what we've always talked about?"
"Thats what you always talked about we never agreed to that, And frankly I think it's bullshit"
We all turn around to see Joshua standing with his arms crossed and an angry look on his face.
"Well I'm not done phasing it skipped my father so he never got a chance and I'm not going to give this up" He said angrily.
"Joshua we need to stop at some point, We have to let the next generation take over"
"I'm not ready to stop and if you think you can stop me I welcome the challenge" Joshua says as he steps closer to me with hate in his eyes.
"Calm down guys the last thing we should be doing is fighting amongst each other"
"Your right Quil we all just need to calm down and think about things" Harry said as he steps in between me and Joshua forcing Joshua to step back.
"We have to stop Joshua, You know your son will be the alpha male until Jacob phases, And we can't be in the same pack as our sons, There's no other way, I'm sorry" I say with sincerity.
"Well then maybe I won't be in the pack much longer"
"Your free to do as you please Joshua, But think about your family, Think about your son and all he has to go threw, Do you want him to face this alone?"
All the guys got quiet including me you could cut the tension with a knife. We all stood looking waiting for someone to speak. I was waiting for Joshua's response and hoping it wouldn't be confrontational.
"Sam's going to be a man he can take care of himself"
"But Joshua he's your son he needs you" I say looking at him wondering how he could be so cold towards his own family.
"He doesn't need me, I didn't need anyone when I was his age, Let him figure things out on his own thats part of becoming a man"
"But part of being a man is being there for your family, And not abandoning them" I get interrupted by Bella screaming for me but she wasn't in danger it was the I need you to do something for me scream.
"What is it Bella?"
"Were are you?"
"I'm out back, What do you need?"
Bella walks outside and looks kind of embarrassed when she sees all the guys standing there looking at her.
"Can I talk to you for a second"
"Sure Bella come on" I walk her to the side with my hand on her shoulder.
"What is it Bella?"
"I was wondering" She said looking down at the floor obviously afraid to ask me whatever it was she wanted to ask me.
"Just ask Bella" I told her as I placed my hand on her chin and raised her face up so I could look into her eyes.
"Umm..... Can I go out tonight....With....Umm, Paul" She says his name in a lower tone than the rest of her sentence thinking maybe I wouldn't catch it. She just got done with being grounded and already she's asking me to let her go out and to make matters worst she's asking me to let her go out with a guy.
"And what did your mom say about this?"
"She said she's OK with it but its up to you, So can I?"
Why does Sarah put it all on me now if I say no I'm the bad guy. I really don't think she should be dating she's too young she's only thirteen. But if I say no I'll never here the end of it and she'll hold it against me forever. I shouldn't let her date until she's twenty five at least. If I had my way she wouldn't date at all with the way these kids are today I should have her on house arrest.
"Alright Bella, You can go..." I see the excitement in her eyes just wait until I tell her the rest. "There's a catch, Jacob has to go with you" I see the excitement turn into disappointment, Then into anger.
"But Dad thats not fair, I don't want Jacob to go it's going to be weird with him there, The last time they were around each other it ended with both of them bleeding"
"And that's all the more reason for him to go with you, That way him and Paul can settle there differences, Take it or leave it" I say looking at her standing my ground. By me saying Jacob has to go she won't go on the date and I only temporarily look like the bad guy, It's a win win situation I think to myself as she looks up at me.
"Fine Jacob can come but you better give him his own money, Because Paul's paying for me and him?"
Shit I didn't see that coming, Well that backfired and turned into a lose lose situation not only does she get to go out on her date but I have to fork over money for Jacob, Dammit I thought I had her.
I let out a big sigh and respond to her demands.
"Fine, How much will he need?"
"Umm. twenty, No thirty bucks, That should be enough for the movie and food"
"Damn, I remember when we would go see a movie and eat dinner and I would pay fifty cents and still get change back"
"Well Dad that was like two hundred years ago, Things change" She says smiling.
"Come here, I'll give you two hundred years ago" I say as I start to chase her back into the house as she runs into the kitchen narrowly escaping me. As she stops and looks at me.
"Thanks Dad, Love you, I'll send Jacob out to get the money before we leave, Don't worry I'll be home by morning"
"Your welcome" I tell her as I start to turn around just as I catch the last part I stop and think about what she said then I turn back around angrily.
"What did you just say young lady"
"Nothing Dad it was a joke, Plus who wants to stay out until morning with there big brother tagging along, Third wheel" She says as she turns around and continues walking into the living room laughing underneath her breath thinking I don't hear her.
I turned back around and made my way back to the guys hoping the situation has cooled down. I walk up and see the guys standing there all looking at me.
"So I see your plan backfired, And your out thirty bucks" Quil says laughing.
"Don't even get me started, I'm not in the mood, Change the subject" I say as I look Quil in the eyes and smirk. Just as Harry walks up and pats me on the shoulder.
"So, Bella and Paul huh, When's the wedding" Harry says trying not to laugh.
I look at Harry brushing his arm off of my shoulder.
"The wedding, It's the day after your funeral"
Harry's smirk disappears from his face quickly as he takes a step back.
"Well I hope they never get married then, They shouldn't even be going out, You need to put a stop to this"
I smile at Harry letting him know it was just a joke as Joshua starts to walk away from us.
"Joshua, We need to stick together, Where a pack, A family" I say as he keeps walking just as he stops momentarily and looks back at us.
"I'm no longer in the pack, And I don't have a family anymore" He says as he walks out on us and his family.
As we stand in silence as I hear the back door open. We see Jacob run out of the house and approach us.
"Hey Dad Bella sent me out here for the forty bucks."
