PAUL'S POV:

I saw her lying on the floor as she screamed in pain. She laid there not being able to move. All I wanted to do it hold her and comfort her. And tell her everything's gonna be okay. But my body ran towards the leech who did this to her.

Jared better get all the fucking venom out of her. I dont know what I'll do if she fucking turns.

I quickly phased as all my anger came to the surface as I shook in rage. I ran or fucking lunged towards the guy tearing him into pieces. I stood there seeing his body everywhere. I stood there admiring his fucking dead body. I wanted to stay there longer and enjoy the movement until I remembered Arabella was close to death. I ran to her as I quickly phased back seeeing Jared carrying her. I ran to Jared seeing a worried look on his face.

"Paul I dont think Emily can help with this we need to get her to the hospital,"spoke Jared. I shook my head as I tried to calm down.

"Did y-you? Did you get it out?"I asked

"Y-yes."

I sighed in relief as I grabbed Aria from his arms as we ran the car. We drove to the nearest hospital ignoring all the stupid speed limits. We had to come up with an excuse and Jared insisted on saying we were hiking and were attacked by a bear. Totally explains why were both fucking shirtless.

"Sir you need to wait here we're almost done. We're doing everything we can."

"B-but."

"She's lost a lot of blood sir, please,"the nurse spoke holding me back.

I sat back down frustrated as Jared paced around.

4 HOURS LATER

I walked into her room. The doctor said the meds should be wearing off by now. I sat on the chair nearest to her. I sat there staring at her. I felt sad but anger also.

The other day I went by her window seeing the lights off. I couldn't go any longer without seeing her. That's until I made my way to Noah's window hearing moans coming out of his room. Who I presumed were coming from Aria.

How can she do this to me yet I still fucking need her?

I saw her eyes flutter open as she tried to open her eyes completely.

"W-what happened? P-Paul?" She spoke.

"Dont waste your energy. yes it's me,"I spoke.

I waited for her to get most of her energy back so I could talk to her. I waited as I saw tears start falling from her face. I fucking hate seeing her cry. That day we fought all I wanted was to comfort her but I was so fucking mad.

"W-what's wrong?"I eagerly asked.

"P-Paul I'm so sorry,"she cried out.

She was crumbling right in front of me and all I could do was look away.

"Please Paul I need you to know after everything I never choose Noah,"she replied.

My fist bawled up as I remembered what I heard the other night.

"But what about last night. I heard everything coming from Noah's room,"I muttered.

"W-What last night? Last night I almost walked in on Noah and his ex having fucking sex,"she said.

I felt my body relax as she said those last words. Im so fucking glad it wasn't her.

"Paul I would never,"she said holding my hand.

I grabbed her hand kissing her knuckles.

"What now,"she asked.  I let go of her hand as I started to get up from my chair. I collected my thoughts before speaking.

"Im sorry Aria but I need to think about this before I make a quick decision . I can't just act like it was nothing because it did mean something to you." She tried to speak but I quickly got up not letting her talk.

"Look Arabella I just need time, ok?"I said. She looked down as I walked out.

ARIAS POV:

It hurt. It fucking hurt seeing him leave again. But it was my fault. Jared slowly walked into my room.

"You ok?"he asked.

I wiped away my tears, "yeah,"I said.

"Well I hope you get better I'll see you around,"he said.

"W-wait where are you guys going so quickly?"I asked.

He looked away as I asked. "Look I'm not suppose to tell you but tomorrow the battle with the newborns begins."

I looked up at him worriedly. He shut the door on his way out. I quickly got up stumbling towards the door. I opened it as I fell onto the floor.

"ARIA WHAT ARE YOU DOING,"yelled Paul as he tried to help me up.

"I-I need to go I can't stay here,"I muttered.

"No you need to stay here its for your saftey,"he spoke.

"N-no Paul your gonna fight tomorrow I can't just stay here,"I said.

He pulled me up forcing me into the hospital bed.

"Arabella you have to stay just gets some rest please,"he pleaded.

I sat on the bed as he closesd the door. I huffed out as I pressed the call button near my bed.

"Yes?"asked the nurse as she walked inside.

"Yeah sorry do you have a phone I can borrow?"I asked.

"yes Ill bring it to you."

"Thank you,"I said.

"yeah no worries,"the nurse said back. I smiled as she brought me a phone.

"ARIA ARE YOU OKAY!"yelled Jake as he walked into my room almost knocking down my things.

"Yeah just help me up would you?"I asked.

He nodded as he helped me up. Before Jake could I arrive I changed back into my bloody clothes.The nurse said I could leave first thing in the morning but there was no way in hell I was staying in this shit-hole. It just brought more bad memories.

I hate hospitals. I asked Jacob to drive me home. As he started to drive I asked about the battle. He tried to steer away from the conversation but I insisted on him telling me more.

"One more thing Jake."

"yes,"he said.

"Umm what are imprint's ?"I asked.

"Wait didnt Paul tell you?"

I had to improvise so I said,"uhh yeah but I forgot," I chuckled nervously.

"Well us guys are like 100% sure your his but he denies it all the time. He's a really bad liar. Well imprints is a special bond we have once we phase. But its not sexual its like a whole new level of understanding a person. You become each others soulmates. Its almost like fate. Kinda crazy, right?"

I stood there frozen to what he just said to me. What the fuck.

"And what if you stay away from your imprint after you've actually imprinted?" I asked.

"Well we feel the connection break a little and it actually hurts us a little physically."

I fell into my thoughts as he said those last words. Am I causing him pain for my stupid descions? If I was his imprint before the fucking argument why didnt he say anything? Does he not want me to be? Or am I too much?

"Hellooo Earth to Aria."

I snapped back from my thought. I felt even more guilty that I was already hurting Paul but now it was physical. "Oh yeah sorry. Jake just be careful okay."

"I will," he said as I kissed his cheek.

I entered the house as I laid on the couch not having the energy to go upstairs. I wrapped my self with the fluffy blanket I had left earlier on the couch as I fell asleep.
