F I N E L I N E ; {Paul Lahote}

{ 15 }

Before Paul could say anything I felt tears forming in my eyes. All that sadness and anger was surfacing up. I finally looked at him as he gave me a pity look.

I looked away. I hate pity.

I know it too well.

"Look Aria I- I couldn't tell you it was for your safety."

"M-MY SAFTEY W-WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME?!! WHEN I LEFT OR WHEN I FINALLY MOVED ON? WHEN PAUL? WHEN?"I yelled out.

He grabbed his head as we walked around. "You need to understand I had to I'm sorry," he said back .

"UNDERSTAND?? What understand that my best friend is a w-wolf? You lied to me and worse of all you promised Paul... You Promised,"I said while getting up from the bed.

"Please Aria I don't want anything to happen to you I had to leave Im sorry... It was shitty but anything's better than seeing you get hurt,"he insisted.

"Hurt? Paul look at me I already am... You left and now this,"I said slightly lifting my arm.

"Why? You could've stayed Paul and told me the truth I would've been careful,"I replied.

"CAREFUL? There killing everybody. Th-They killed Harry,"he said facing away from me.

"T-They what?"I said as more tears streamed down my face.

He nodded. "You could've told me.... Why didnt you?"I said shaking my head. "WHY?"I shouted.

I looked at Paul as he looked angry or frustrated. "W-Who was that girl?"

"W-what?"

"You know who."

It took him a moment to realize who I was talking about. He quickly huffed out,"T-That was Rachel Jacob's sister I swear.... I don't."

He hesitated as I looked up at him. So he did replace me?

"DON'T LIE TO ME WHY HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS? HURTING ME? US?"I questioned.

"BECAUSE I LIKE YOU,"he shouted back.

I looked up at his eyes in shock at what he said. He walked up to me getting closer every second. He moved my hair from my face wiping away my tears. I looked away moving my head away.

"I-I do too....no no I did,"I said back.

I looked at his eyes as he was hurt from what I said. But I was hurt too.

"no no no please Aria listen to what your saying please. I swear I wont leave you,"he whisphered as he looked into my eyes. He grabbed my face holding it in his hands.

I looked away quickly looking back at him. "But you already did Paul,"I said softly.

"Arabella I swear I wont ever not again... Not like this. Please give me a chance. Let me back in. You need to know I only did this to keep you safe I didnt want you warped into all this shit. Please,"he said pleading.

"I would've gladly been with you through this Paul,"I said as my voice cracked from the shakiness of my voice.

"Arabella I just wanted to protect you please. I need you. Tell me you need me too."

I took my time and gave him a small nod as his hand were still holding my face. He leaned closer giving me a kiss on my forehead. I caved in and hugged him. I had to if not for me then for him.

He hugged me back even tighter than before. He was really warm almost as if he was on fire. I finally pulled back as he gave me a small smile. I couldn't help it; but return it back. I held my arm as it was still bleeding.
