Fighter

Chapter One

I can't believe Sam made me come over here and apologise to the stupid leach lover, it's her fault anyway, protecting Baby Alpha, but I gotta admit she laid a good slap down, I'll give her that not many people have the guts to say anything to me, let alone take me on. I made my way out of the forest next to her house, God it still reeks of bloodsucker here, I don't know how Jake can force himself over here. I made my way up to the front door and knocked, praying she wasn't home, a few seconds went by and Charlie opened the door.

"Paul, what brings you around here son"?

"I'm here to speak to Bella Chief I have to... ugh... apologize for being an ass apparently"

Charlie grunted and patted me on the back "I'm on my way down to the station, bells is upstairs and Paul for what it's worth, I'm sure it wasn't all you" he chuckled and headed out to the cruiser. I was a big fan of the Chief he helped me when mum died and dad started beating on me, I remember the day he came and arrested him and made me a free man, I'll never forget all the work he did to make sure I was set up and safe. I sighed and shut the door as I made my way up to Bella's room, I just sniffed my way up and knocked on the last door in the hallway.

"Dad you're gonna be late".

"Guess it's a good thing he already left then". I heard movement and suddenly the door was yanked open.

"How did you get into my house"?.

"The chief let me in on his way out, look I don't wanna be here as it is, but Sam ordered me here to apologize and I will admit that I shouldn't have snapped at you, but you did slap me". Bella rolled her eyes "Oh come on Paul we both know I got hurt a lot more than what you did". I chuckled she was right and I looked down and noticed her hand had a bandage over it and suddenly I felt a little guilty, wait no I'm not going to feel sorry for the leech lover, I need to get the hell out of here.

"Sorry about your hand and I'll try being civil when I'm around you ok".

She nodded over at me and smiled a little "you hungry", Paul rolled his eyes at Bella "Oh please I'm a wolf baby never ask that question".

Bella laughed and led him down to the kitchen and started cooking bacon, eggs, hash browns, and sausages, by the time the food was done, Paul was drooling. Bella pilled his plate up and gave him the lot. Paul had finished eating in 5 minutes, Bella just sat and watched in amazement. Paul looked up and smiled at her "Yeah we eat a lot and it doesn't last very long, sorry".

Bella smiled and took his plate and started washing up. "Look, Bella, thanks for the food it was great but I gotta head back I got patrol in 20mins and if I'm late Sam will kick my ass, but I really am sorry for what it's worth even if you are a leach lover your still a chick and yeah sorry".

Bella dropped the plate into the sink and it made Paul jump slightly from the unexpected crash. "Look I get it I do, they left and I became a broken girl that everyone had to fix, I know that I'm stupid and everyone pity's me, but I'm better now ok, I don't miss them or need them, I am NOT A LEACH LOVER ANYMORE OK!" Bella burst into tears.

Paul went to her immediately and felt guilty for making her cry "Shit I'm sorry Bella, look I'm not good at this talking and the feelings and being nice ok I'm sorry, don't take any notice of me and I don't pity you, I mean I used to yeah, but you're a fighter".

Bella smiled up at him and wiped her eyes "I'm sorry I snapped it's just, I hate being the Leach lover, the girl that fell in love with a vampire, I wanna just be Bella again". Paul hugged her slightly and nodded "I know what you mean, I am an ass I know but I do it for a reason, everyone pity's me because of how shit my life is, so like you I'm a fighter, and for me that meant being a dick to prove my point, but you, you Bella just need time and don't do what I did, don't become too much of a fighter and push everyone away".
