„Hey Bella, this is Paul. I wanted to know if Jacob is next to you I had a fight with him and... just wanted to make sure he's alright.", Paul said into the phone. He put the telephone on speaker so I could also hear her answer.

„Jake is alright...", she said and sighed.

So she calls him Jake.

„Can I talk to him?", Paul asked while looking into my eyes.
„He fell asleep next to me, when he wakes up I'll make sure he calls you back.", she just said and that hit so hard.

It hurt like hitting my heart with a hammer. I couldn't even describe how upset I was damn. What a fucker!

„He's sleeping next to you? Are you guys together?", Paul asked curious.
„Not together, it's complicated but he's safe with me so don't worry.", she just said and before Paul could say something she hung up.

Maybe it was my fault. Saying I need time and need to process gave him the feel of me not wanting him at all.
Slowly my sadness turned into madness.
I really wanted to punch into something.

Paul cubbed my face with his hands and looked deep into my eyes. I didn't move.
„Are you alright?", he asked very concerned.
„Thank you...", I just whispered.
A tear roll down my eyes again and suddenly he came near to my face. I felt his soft lips on my cheek.
He kissed my tear away and our noses touched each other.
„You deserve to be happy, don't cry over someone who doesn't deserve that.", he whispered back.
I didn't know why a feeling in me wanted to kiss him. I wanted to kiss him so much that I lost my mind.

„Stop doing this to me...", I whined and again our noses touched while I tilted my head.
„I can't resist.", he whispered and I felt his breath on my lips again.
I closed my eyes and expected him to press his lips on mine, but suddenly the door opened and we quickly detached ourselves from each other.

My Mom stood next to the door frame and screamed.
„I'm so sorry!", she just said panically.
What an embarrassing situation, I thought these kind of situations would only happen in movies.
I covered my face in my hands and sighed out loud.

„I should go...", Paul just said and I swear it sounded like he was laughing.
„What happened to your face?", I heard my Mom say in shock.
He tried to explain it to her while I just stood up and walked out of the room.

We almost kissed each other, and I'm asking myself if it is because of me being his Imprint.
I would never kiss a guy that fast and actually we should get to know each other more.
In my thoughts was also Jacob who was just sleeping in Bella's bed. God, I'm so afraid to act out of anger.

Suddenly Paul entered the room.
„I have to go, but I'll text you.", he said, in his undertone I could hear him still being concerned about my well being.
„Yeah....", I nodded.

We smiled at each other slightly and then he disappeared outside into the darkness. I decided to go to my room but my mom cleared her throat so that I should turn around to her. So I did and looked at her annoyed.

„I really like Paul but kissing him even though you'd rather hang out with Jacob is wrong!"
„It's none of your business anymore.", I snapped back at her.

„Not in this tone Meadow!"

I just rolled my eyes on her and ran quick into my room.
She screamed something after me but I just slammed the door and locked myself up.

I just don't want to talk to her. I had enough of her lies and it just bothered me.
I changed my clothes and went to bed.
While I cuddled under the duvet, I looked at my arm. The bite track was hard to miss and thinking about it scared me terribly. When will Caleb attack again? It could happen again and again and I had to do something about it. It made me so angry to know that I was related to a vampire. How did such circumstances come about?

I tried not to think about it any further and close my eyes. After a while I managed to fell asleep immediately and fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, it was freezing in my room.
Probably because the heater wasn't on.

The first thing I did was to change up into my working clothes.
After searching for a bus line a message appeared on my display.
It was from Jacob.

Jacob
Good Morning, can we meet up today?

Oh well now he wants to see me.

Meadow
No, I'm at work.

Like I said, keeping distance would be better.

He messaged me a few things but I just left my phone in my room.
I didn't want to hear, read or see anything for today.
As I walked into the livingroom I saw Mom sleeping on the couch again, I tried to sneak out without her hearing me. The bus station was not far away, which is why I could get on directly when the bus also came.

The whole way took only 20 minutes and when I arrived I unlocked the door to the shop. It was a strange feeling to be back here after that night.
Joe left me a note in which I should unpack the packages and put them on the shelves in an orderly manner, so I quickly unpacked the items to put them nicely on the shelf.

After granting the books, I decided to read through the book on the Quileute legends again, maybe I would find out more about Paul and Jacob with it...
