Paul and I have been together for three years now, Ever since that night on the beach when he asked me to be his girlfriend. My parents were happy for us and even Jacob was alright with it which was shocking. He told Paul one day when I wasn't around that he better treat me good and he better not break my heart you know the typical big brother to little sisters boyfriend speech.
"Hey honey how was school?" Mom said I walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"It sucked like always, When is school ever fun, I give you the same answer every day Mom, It sucks."
"Well I'm just making sure, You never know one day you might come home happy from school"
"Well I always come home happy from school, Because I'm coming from school, As in away from it." I say as I smile and finish my water my Mom also smiling.
"So how's everything with you and Paul?"
"I wouldn't know, I haven't talked to him in a week and he didn't show up for school again that's a week now he's missed. I don't know what's going on with him."
"Well, I talked to his Mom the other day at the store and she said he had the flu, So it's probably just that, He probably doesn't want to pass it on too you. I wouldn't worry too much about it."
"Yea maybe your right, But even when he's been sick before I've at least talked to him on the phone, But now he won't even take my calls. His Mom just says he's sleeping or some other lame excuse." I say trying to hold back tears.
I try my hardest not to cry as the room becomes silent My Mom not really knowing what to tell me. Other then every things going to be OK.
"Mom do you think he's trying to break up with me?" I ask catching her by surprise with the question.
"No Bella, How can you say that, Paul loves you." She says as she walks away trying to avoid eye contact.
I leave the kitchen and make my way into the living room grabbing the phone and sitting on the couch. It's time I call him and tell his Mom to put him on the phone so I can ask him what's going on.
I dial his number patiently waiting for someone to answer knowing its going to be his Mom.
"Hello"
Wow the one voice I've been missing the voice that belongs to the man I love.
"Paul it's me"
"Oh Hey, What's up." He says not sounding too excited to talk to me.
What's up, What's up, That's what this asshole tells me after not talking to me and ducking me for over a week. No hi baby I'm happy you called I missed you. Just what's up thats all I get fucking what's up. I thought to myself biting my tongue as he begins to talk.
"You there, Hello, What did you need?"
"Umm, Nothing I just wanted to hear your voice, And make sure your OK. Your Mom told my Mom that you were sick, How are you?"
"I'm fine, So is that all you need?" He says sounding like he has better things to do other that talk to his girl friend.
"Umm, Yea, I guess, When can I see you." I ask hoping he would answer with an invitation to his house.
"Bella, We need to talk."
"Uh, OK isn't that what were doing, Talking?"
"Bella, Listen, I have a lot of shit going on right now and I just need some space."
"OK, How long, Like a couple weeks?"
"No Bella, Your not listening, I don't think this is working out, Me and you?"
"But why, I thought we were doing good, What happened?" I say as I start to cry.
"It's too hard to explain, That's why I haven't talked to you for so long, I didn't know how to tell you"
"What's wrong Paul, Is there someone else."
"Bella, It's over I'm sorry, Please stop calling, I want to be left alone."
"Paul" I yell as the tears run down my face. "Is there someone else." He pauses for a couple of seconds as I start to cry harder. "Answer me Paul" I ask now crying hysterically.
"I gotta go, I'm sorry." He says as he hangs up the phone.
I close my eyes as the tears stream down my face. I sit there clutching the phone in my hand hoping he would call back and say it was just a joke or that he didn't mean it. My hand begins to hurt from squeezing the phone. But I don't feel it my whole body is numb, My heart broken into a million pieces. Then stomped on for good measure.
I wipe the tears from my face and drop the phone to the floor. As I take a deep breath trying to stop myself from crying. I look up towards the stairs I see Jacob standing there with a look on his face that I've never seen before. He looks as though he wants to kill someone.
I realize that he must have heard the whole thing. And that look of anger was not meant for me. As he storms down the stairs towards the door he quickly grabs his jacket.
Billy's POV
I lock up my truck and walk towards the front door finally I can relax I thought as I opened the door and stepped inside almost bumping into Jacob. When I noticed the look on his face, Then I looked over and saw Bella crying on the couch.
"What's going on, What did you do to Bella did you hurt her?" I ask Jacob in a stern voice?
"Not me, That asshole Paul" Jacob says as he try's to walk out.
"What happened Bella, Are you alright?" I ask as I block Jacob from leaving.
She wipes the tears from her eyes and sniffles as she stands up.
"I'm fine Dad, It's nothing."
"Obviously it's more than nothing, Your sitting there crying your eyes out, What happened?"
"Just drop it OK" She says with an attitude as she hurries past us and runs up the stairs. The sound of her bedroom door slamming echoes through the whole house.
"Jacob what the hell is going on?"
"You want to know whats going on, That bastard told her something, And I'm going to go find out what he said"
"No, Your not going anywhere, It's none of your business, He didn't physically hurt her, I'm sure its just an argument they will work things out."
"But you didn't hear her Dad how she was crying, He broke her heart, And now I'm going to go and finish what I started three years ago." Jacob says as he try's to push past me as I block the door shutting it then locking it.
"Its not your problem, Jacob"
"I'm going to make it my problem"
"No, Your going to go upstairs and cool down, Me and your Mom will go and have a talk with Bella just give her some time."
"Fine, But when I see him you won't be there to break it up this time" He says as he stomps up the stairs and into his room also slamming his door. Just the peace and quiet I was hoping to come home to I thought as I hung up my coat and walked into the kitchen.
"Do you hear what's going on out there?" I say as I kiss Sarah.
"Yes I herd, But I didn't want to get involved, I saw this coming. I'm just going to let her be alone for awhile and when she's ready to talk I'll be there."
"And what about incredible hulk up there, He wants to go and body slam Paul now?" I say trying to lighten the mood.
"He's her older brother, What do you expect, Some boy just broke his little sisters heart. Of course he's up there hulking out" She says as she smiles. "I'm sure you would do the same."
"Yea your probably right, I'm going to go up and talk with him, See if I can calm him down a little."
"No, I'll go I'm sure he's not your biggest fan right now, Especially since you stopped him from leaving."
"OK, Good luck with the hulk" I say as she walks out of the kitchen as I followed but instead made my way into our bedroom to change out of these clothes. I throw the keys to my truck on the night stand along with my wallet as I sit down and start to unlace my boots. I take them off and throw them in the corner of the room knowing when Sarah see's them she'll make me pick them up and put them in the closet.
I sit and breath a sigh of relief thinking to myself I'm glad that's over with, Now time for some peace and quiet. As I start to lay back into bed just as Sarah barges in.
"I know, I know, I put the shoes in the closet" I say as I sit up looking at her with a smile.
"Jacob's gone, His bedroom window is wide open." She says with a worried look on her face as I stand up. Knowing the peace and quiet I dreamed was just that, A dream I sigh.
"Aww fuck."
