PAUL LAHOTE

18

By the time I woke up, I've had 32 missed calls and a bunch of text messages from just Paul, Sam, and Jacob. Now I know what it may seem like; over protective. But I get it. I'm a pregnant woman and her brother, boyfriend, and the pack leader who's basically another brother, is worried about you and where you are.

Jacob

Cadence where the hell are you?
Cadence?!
I'm worried about you.
Is this with what happened with Paul?
Answer!

Paul

Baby, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to start that fight, please forgive me.
I'm worried about you.
Where are you?

Sam

Cadence get your ass back here this instant.
Where the hell are you?!?
Cadence pick of the damn phone!!!
The whole pack is worried about you.

Paul

We've sent out patrols to come look for you.
Baby please answer your phone.
I love you.

It's sweet how everyone cares for me, but what if I don't want to go home just yet? I like the cullens. Their funny, nice, and they don't eat humans. Which is a good thing or Bella and I would be dead meat, hence that were meat.

"Cadence? What's wrong? You have that worried look on your face that you used to have back when we lived together." Bella suddenly said. I looked up at her and tried of making an excuse but Edward started talking.

"Don't lie. I'll know, cadence." He said. I huffed and started to put on my shoes. "I need to go home. Everyone's worried. And some will be mad at me." I laughed along with Bella and Edward.

"I can drive you there." Edward suggested. It was a nice offer but they'd be even more mad if I came home with a vampire.

"They'd just get more mad. Paul would freak." I laughed a little. "But thanks for the suggestion I should really get going. Thanks Bella." I hugged Bella and smiled at Edward and headed out of the door.

It took about 20 minutes to drive back to the rez. When I pulled up into Sam's gravel driveway everyone began to pile out of the house. Paul and Jacob were the first ones of course and came running to me.

"Cadence! Where the hell were you?" Paul shouted at me. It made me wince which made him soften. But I knew he was going to raise his voice anyways.

I looked between him and Jacob. "I think you already know the answer." I started to look at my feet as I started to get nervous. "Why would you decide to hang out with vampires?! Especially the cullens?" Jacob asked me. I knew they knew.

"Their nice." Is all I said. Paul picked me up and brought me inside and sat me down on the couch. "You're not aloud to go down there anymore." Is Paul said and looked to Sam to back him up.

"Paul's right. We don't need you getting hurt cadence." Sam told me. This made me mad. "What! You can't do that! Your not the boss of me! I'm 17, they won't hurt me. They won't even lay a hand on Bella." I argued.

"That's the thing, your not Bella." Jacob said. Tears started to pool in my eyes and I tried not to let them fall but they decided against my decision and did anyways.

Paul tried to move towards me but I just put my hands up. If they didn't want me near the cullens. Fine. But I'm putting distance between us.

"I'm going for a walk."
