Bella's Sister

Chapter Ten

As Lexi entered the house she get cold, colder then normal. She never meant to pick this fight with Paul and potentially ruin their relationship. She felt low, like the way Diego should have felt leaving her. She knew she shouldn't feel this connected to a man she met only three weeks prior other then their adolescence. Juliette was sleeping peacefully in her car seat as her mother sat on the couch. Winter hat and jacket still on. Lexi turned the tv on and went to grab the phone. To apologize to Paul for what she had said and how she didn't let him explain, yet him saying that she'll have issues finding someone to look after her and her daughter struck a cord within her. She knew she couldn't do this on her own but she needed the support of her family, rather then of a boyfriend.
Lexi looked down at the baby sitting next to her. When she saw her daughter, all the worry about Paul faded away. Juliette needed Alexandria. That's the only way it is. The young mother thought. Little did she knew she needed Paul and Paul needed her. Her daughter needed someone she had yet to meet, and he needed her too. Lexi walked upstairs and grabbed the basket sitting out side of the bedroom.
For now all she needed was to fold this laundry that had been sitting for three days too long. Lexi folded everything and watched friends reruns for the rest of the afternoon. Then she did some homework and made dinner for her father and her sister. Neither of them made an appearance until seven at night.

Lexi set a plate on the table. Her father, Charlie, looked at the green mixture. "Looks great Bug, but...what is it?" Charlie asked. "Pesto chicken" Lexi said smiling at her fathers awkwardness. She set two more plates, one for her strange sister and her even more strange boyfriend. Lexi didn't really feel like eating but still sat with her father. Bella came down stairs with Edward. "What's this?" Bella asked grossed out. "Dinner" Lexi said ignoring her sisters rudeness.

"How's everything going with Paul?" Charlie asked eating his dinner. Lexi shrugged, "Not so good lately" Bella's eyes shot up. "Good, he was bad for you" she said shrugging. "You have no idea what's good for me" Lexi scoffed at her elder sister. "Yet you still took my advice and cut him off before he got in your pants." Bella said rolling her eyes. "Did Paul try something?" Charlie asked confused. Edward sat quietly he was reading the young swans thoughts as she thought of how sweet Paul was the whole time they were together.

"No, it's just... I don't want to be play again" Lexi said looking down at her hands folded on her lap. "I don't know if cutting him off was the right thing to do. His mother said he's been really happy lately" Charlie whispered. Naomi Lahote worked at the police station as a secretary. Guilt washed over Lexi and even a bit over Bella.

"Even said he stopped seeing other girls since he started hanging out with you."
Charlie shrugged and continued eating. "Well now I feel like the worlds biggest bitch" Lexi said dropping her head in her hands. No one said anything, instead her daughter interrupted the awkward silence of the house. Lexi got up and grabbed her three month old. Not wanting to back into the awkward kitchen Lexi set her daughter on the floor with toys surrounding her.

Juliet held herself on her arms and with a swift movement she was over on her back. Lexi screamed happily and picked up her daughter. "Oh my goodness baby girl! Look at you! You're mobile!" She took her daughter into the kitchen. "Guess who just rolls over!" As she got into the kitchen no one was there. Suddenly the realization that she was doing this alone hit. It hit like a brick wall. All she wanted in that moment was Paul by her side celebration. But then it was back to reality. The reality of a seventeen year old mother holding her baby in an empty kitchen.

Paul stood in front of the door way, he knew he shouldn't be there. He knew that what was behind the door was nothing good. Nothing that could bring Alexandria back to him. Yet he couldn't help himself from knocking. He waited for a minute before the door swung open, revealing a girl. Sabrina William was a very beautiful girl not doubting it. She knew she was beautiful and always reminded everyone who seemed to forget.
"Couldn't stay away could you?" She asked pulling him in by his shirt and kissing him passionately. Paul ignored her and pulled her closer, all his anger and sadness leaking out. She pulled him into her bedroom and closed the door.

Paul sat up in the bed. Overwhelming guilt filled him. He sighed and put the rest of his condom into his wallet. A picture feel onto the carpeting of Sabrina's room. Paul flopped it over and looked at it. It was a picture of Lexi and Juliette that she gave him one night. Lexi was holding the baby to her chest smiling down at her, her daughter sleeping peacefully. Paul put the picture in his wallet and got dressed. He got out of the house before you could say jerk. He walked his way in the woods. Well rather to Emily's house then his own.

He knocked on the door. Even if it was late, she would answer. Tears fell down his face. She opened the door in a bathrobe, Sam standing behind her. "I messed up, really bad" Paul admitted. "Oh come inside sweetly"

(Hahaha I feel so bad for doing this but at the same time I don't.)
