1 MONTHS LATER:

Its been awhile since I last seen Jake. I would call Billy once and awhile asking him if hes alright. He just switches the subject and tries to convince me hes okay. Billy says its (MONO).

Paul does too he tells me not to worry about him and that everything's alright. I told him what Jake had said about "Sams Gang", he only laughed and told me its not true. It pisses me off sometimes that he doesn't care but he tells me to trust him. And well I trust Paul so I didn't questioned him anymore.

Every time I have plans with Paul he always has to leave early and gives me a lame excuse I brush it off most of the time but when I ask him he just tells me his dad needs him. This weekend Paul invited me to go swimming on the reservation to make it up to me, I accepted.

"HEY NOAH," I yelled.

"YEAH,"he said back.

"Do you know where the clean towels are??"I asked.

"No why where you going?" he asked looking at my outfit.

I had a my bathing suit top and a jean skirt to cover the bottom. "I got invited to hangout at the beach, why?"I asked. "You think I can come?"he asked. "Hmm I guess why not,"I said back.

As we made our way into the car Noah insisted on driving but there's no way I'm letting him drive.

"Hey Paul I'm here,"I spoke into the phone. "Ok coming,"he said back hanging up.

I got out of the car seeing paul jog up to me. "Hey," he said pulling me into a hug. He's really warm.

"Hey umm that's s Noah,"I said smiling pointing at the figure coming out of the car. "Hey," Paul said shaking Noahs hand. Noah only smiled and shook his head. I walked aside Paul as we made small talk. I felt bad that no one else knows Noah thats until we made our way and saw not just our friends but other girls were here too. I looked up at Noah only to see a big grin on his face. Paul walked off to talk to Sam.

Noah approached me,"Hey did I forget to mention that I heard people say there was gonna be a party at the beach,"he said winking.

"Jerk,"I said punching his arm.

He walked off to talk to some girls near the rocks. I placed my stuff on the ground and said hi to everyone. I talked to Emily for awhile until I decided to sit down. I walked back to my spot until I looked up. Locking eyes with Jacob. A smile appeared on his face. Before I knew it I was running into his arms.

"JAKE WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!"I asked as he lifted me up.

"SORRY Ari I've been busy,"he said dropping me down.

"BUSY wow jake your like huge what the hell,"I said back. "Yup and you're still small,"he said looking down at me while patting my head. I rolled my eyes and interlinked arms with him. We talked for a while until Jared took me aside to talk.

"Hey I'm really thirsty do you think I could have some?"I asked Jared as he held a water bottle. The rest of the guys looked around chuckling at each other. Jared smirked,"Yeah for sure." I was confused at what they were laughing at. I grabbed the water bottle chugging the rest. As what seemed to be "water" go down; My throat burned. I instantly threw the bottle on the floor.

"JARED WHAT THE HELL!"

"Sorry you were thirsty and I had vodka in there,"he said shrugging his shoulders.

I held onto my stomach wiping my mouth with my hand.

PAUL'S POV:

I looked around seeing everyone was having a good time. That's until I looked around for Aria seeing she was surrounded by the rest of the guys. My body heated up. I don't know why but every time I see her around them I get upset. I looked at her again as she had a disgusted face while holding onto her stomach.

"Hey sorry let me get back to you,"I said to Sam.

I made my way towards Aria. I grabbed onto her arm as she looked up to me.

"You okay, what's wrong?" I asked.

"Ugh these idiots specifically fucking Jared gave me vodka instead of water,"she shouted.

I instantly looked up at Jared as he quickly looked away. They started walking away towards the shore.

"Here come on,"I said taking her to the bench.

"Thanks," she whispered as she held onto me.

NOAH'S POV:

"Hey so your not from around here,"the girl in front of me said while twirling her hair.

"Uh yeah yeah,"I said looking over towards Ari.

I looked at her and Paul walk together noticing she was kinda stumbling. I hesitated going over and asking what's wrong when,"You said you were from San Francisco," the girl said.

"Oh yeah its pretty calm," I said going back to our conversation.

As we talked I couldn't help but look at Arabella and Paul. She took off her skirt and walked towards the water with Paul on her shoulder. She got on his back as she wrapped her arms around his neck. I felt this weird feeling forming in my gut. Mattheo's gonna be real mad at me.

PAUL'S POV:

"Hold on tight don't need you falling okay,"I said.

"Yeah yeah,"she replied.

I walked deeper into the water holding on to her legs so she wouldn't slip off.

"Are you sure your okay? Don't wanna sit for awhile?"I asked.

"I'm fineeee PAUL,"she whispered. After I made her sit for awhile she insisted on a piggy-back ride into the water. I caved in but she was still a bit loopy. She let go of my neck as she stood on the ocean floor.

I tuned around quickly holding onto her waist forgetting she can touch the floor.

"I'm okay Paul really I'm short but not by too much,"she said laughing. I quickly let go of her waist as I smiled back splashing her face with water.

"OH NO YOU DIDN'T LAHOTE," she yelped.

I laughed as she attempted to catch me as I swam away from her. I let her catch me and dunk me in the water.

"Come on lets look at some seashells,"she said grabbing my hand.

She guided me to the sand as we made our way to the ground. I quickly got my phone from the bench as I sat next to her.

"Hey this ones pretty cute, right?" She asked.

I grabbed my phone taking a picture of her. "PAUL NO WHAt I need a warning,"she shouted.

"Thank you for the new wallpaper,"I said back.

She laughed while rolling her eyes going back to looking at the shells.

"Hey Embry what's with Paul and Aria?"I asked Embry pointing at them on the shore.

"Uh well were all convinced he imprinted but he claims he didn't,"embry said shrugging.

"He better have not ill kill him shes like a little sister ,"I shouted.

"Jacob calm down,"Jared said calming me down.

I sat back down holding my head low.
