Complicated

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 15:

Paul POV

I can’t believe this shit. We can’t even go out for a night at a club without this “Family” fucking showing up. The big guy was trying to stare me down. Like that was going to happen.

“Who’s you friends Matt?”

“Oh these are my best friends, Sam, Paul and well I don’t know where Jarrod is but he is around somewhere. And this lovely lady is my girlfriend, Leah Clearwater.”

“Hey you guys are from La Push right? The brunette named Angela asked.

“Yep.”

“What are you doing hanging around with guys form La Push Matt?” The asshole named Tyler asked.

“Well if you were listening numbnuts I just told you my girlfriend is from La Push. You think I might meet some people from there?”

“Holy shit, that’s Bella Swan. Cullen look its your ex.” Mike said looking around us.

“Oh really? Bella is here?” Cullen said acting surprised.

“She is my woman. Where the fuck else would she be?” I asked him. I really should just kill this guy. Treaty be damned.

“As if you could Paul.” Oh yeah mindreader.

“Wanna step outside and find out? I’ll leave my guys in here if you leave your guys.”

“Paul calm down. We don’t need trouble here.” I heard Sam say.

“Bella is dating you?” The blonde named Lauren said with a look of disgust. “My she has really fallen since you left her Edward. Slumming in La Push. Not that you aren’t hot and all. A booty call sure, but dating?”

“Fuck you bitch! You want some? We can step outside!” Leah yelled at her. The blonde scooted her chair back some. Smart girl. I noticed Sam didn’t say anything to Leah.

“You were right Edward. These La Push people do have some anger management problems.” The blonde female leech said.

“Oh you think they got anger managment problems? You should see me pissed off. Isn’t that right Edward?” Matt asked looking him in the eye.

“Hey Paul you smell that?” Matt asked.

“Smell what?”

“Smells like something burning. Oh well. I guess it could be anything. What do you say we go back to the table and enjoy ourselves?”

Matt grabbed Leah by the waist and started walking her back. Leah was still scowling at the blonde.

I was the last to leave keeping my eyes on Cullen. I didn’t need words to communicate what I wanted to say.

“Very classy Paul.” Edward said smiling at me.

“Uh are we missing something?” the other girl, Jessica? who gave a fuck, asked.

I was about to ask Cullen outside again when I felt Sam’s hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off and then I felt a little hand in mine. I turned to see Bella looking at me with absolute love.

“Baby he isn’t worth it. Lets go sit down and let me make you feel good.”

I turned around and heard the blonde human about to say something. Bella turned back…

“One word and I will cut you Lauren. Now get back to licking up my scraps.” With that said we walked back to our table. Matt had Leah on the dance floor. It was a slow dance and I pulled Bella out on the floor.

I held her close and could feel the glares coming from the table. I didn’t even want to be here. I just wanted my baby home in La Push with me safe and naked.

We finished our dance and stopped halfway back to our table to see Alice Cullen sitting next to Debbie. Jarrod was on edge. He was close to phasing. Fucking Cullens.

Bella walked up with her hand in mine.

“Bella! Alicia, here was just telling me you two used to be best friends!” Debbie said. It looked like Debbie had a few shots in her already.

“We were, weren’t we Bella?” Alice said looking her in the eyes.

“Yes we used to be.”

“Well what happened? Did you two have a falling out or what? Give me the dish.” Debbie said leaning on her elbows.

“It was really no big deal. Her boyfriend tried to kill me, I broke up with her brother and they moved. That about cover it Alice?”

“Yes I suppose so. It’s good to see you again Bella. I hope we can talk soon. We have a lot to catch up on.” Alice said getting up .

“We really don’t.” Bella said.

I sat down and pulled Bella in my lap while Kim continued rubbing Jarrod’s uh… yeah under the table. Anyway he looked like he was calming down. Or at least he wasn’t angry anymore. I looked at Sam wondering if we should leave and hit another club.

BPOV

There was no way those assholes of high school past were going to ruin my night. I had to put clothes on for this and I plan to enjoy myself. I had survived one dance with Paul without breaking anything and I wasn’t going to take another chance. I asked him to get me a drink but he refused to leave my side. Matt got up and walked to the bar with Leah trailing him. He brought back two shots of Patron for me and three for Debbie and continued downing beers.

I was feeling very horny. I hadn’t drank in a while and Paul’s hands were on my waist. He insisted I not wear panties tonight and I could feel his hands burning through my skirt into my hip bones. The AC kicked up in this place and since he insisted I not wear a bra either my nipples were making their prescence known through my thin shirt. Debbie and Leah looked at me and smirked.

“Cold Bella?” Leah asked.

“Nope. I have my own personal heater that I am sitting on.”

I watched Leah and Debbie start dancing and then Matt joined in. He was joined by Kim who was trying to teach him some dance move and failing miserably.

I felt Pauls hand move up my thigh under my skirt. He moved us closer to the table and his hand was on my pelvis. And then lower. I gasped. His fingers were vibrating my clit. He was moving them so fast. I started to breathe faster. I wouldn’t be able to hold this off. Dammit Paul!

“Paul stop.” I whispered to him in his ear leanging back into his chest. “I’m going to cum.”

“Go ahead. I’m giving you permission.”

Oh God that did it. I squeezed my thighs together around his hand while he squeezed me so tight and felt the pleasure rolling in me. I bit my lip to keep quiet. I guess it came out sounding like a cramp.

“Bella girl you okay?” Debbie asked walking off the dance floor. “Your face looks like you are in pain.”

“No. I’m uh good. I guess I had a stomach cramp. I’m better now.”

“Oh thats too bad. I thought you were hiding an orgasm girl. Stomach cramps are horrible.”

I downed another shot that Matt had generously brought me. As I slammed my shot glass down on the table I heard Kim gasp.

“How the hell can she touch him? Can you imagine how cold he must be?” Kim asked. I looked up and saw Lauren dancing a slow song with Edward. Judging by the look on her face I beleive she was finally figuring out something was wrong.

“No offense Bella.”

What?

“What are you talking about Kim?”

“I just mean, you know, you and him in high school..”

Paul growled. Shit. I turned around and straddled his lap and pulled his lips to mine. Dammit Kim! Not that I minded…

“Ahem. Excuse me Bella?”

Ahh fuck it was Mike Newton.

“Some of us were wondering if you could come sit with us. You know catch up? It will be like lunchtime in school only with music and alcohol.”

“Sorry Mike. I’m out with my man. Maybe some other time. And before you ask, no I don’t want to see a fucking movie.” I started laughing. I couldn’t help myself. The shots were getting to me. So I was a little buzzed.

“Hey no need to be a bitch. You always did think your ass was too good to share with the rest of us. Seems like you only fuck rich boys and natives.” Oh shit.

I found myself on Debbie’s lap and Paul was in Mike’s face. Like inches away from his face. Sam grabbed him and tried to pull him back. It wasn’t working.

I felt myself being put on an empty chair. What am I? A fucking doll? Matt was in Mike Newtons face.

“What QB? You gonna hit me? Go ahead! See if that shit makes Sportscenter!”

I just realized Matt, Debbie and I werent the only ones drunk. Mike Newton was pretty wasted. Ben and Tyler were trying to pull him back.

“Matt sit down! You hit him and you will fuck up your throwing hand and you know you can’t throw a left hook for shit.” Debbie said walking up to Matt. Thank God one of us had sense. Leah was ready to jump in front of Matt. Paul was ready to eviserate Mike and Oh shit…

Debbie hit Mike. In the jaw. Mike Newton fell. He fell hard. He was out. The bouncer must have been watching us. Judging by the look on his face he was assessing a group of people who were angry tense and the oldest one had just knocked a 21 year old male smooth out.

“We don’t want trouble. Maybe you guys should take it somewhere else.” he suggested politely.

“Yes I think thats a great idea.” Sam said.

Paul just stood there looking at Mike Newton on the ground. He had a confused look on his face. He looked at Debbie.

“Sorry sugar. You can hit him next time. But lets face it. The only one who was going to get away with hitting him in a crowded place without going to jail was the drunk old lady. Let him put that shit on Sportscenter.”

Matt picked Debbie up by her waist and threw her over his shoulder.

“C’mon Rocky. Lets get you out of here.”

“Dammit Matt, why couldn’t your daddy come? I’m drunk, I got in a fight and now all I have to get in bed with tonight is my travel Rabbit.”

“Oh shit. I did not need to hear that Momma. Please shut up.” I noticed Debbie and Matt’s Texas accent came out stronger the more they drank. Soon I wouldn’t be able to understand a word they were saying. Soon I would be under Paul and wouldn’t give a damn.

Leah POV

Today was Matt’s birthday. We all were required by his Alphaness to attend a July Fourth bonfire and now what would double as Matt’s birthday party. Apparently Sam thinks sitting around fires and listening to old men tell legends is all there is to do around here. The sad thing is he was right. In three weeks Matt would be in training camp in Tacoma. He wouldn’t be back until the first of the year depending on what Bowl they went to. Not to say I wouldn’t be there every chance I got but still. I didn’t know what I was going to do. I didn’t know what Bella was going to do. Or Paul. Those two stuck to each other like glue. I mean Matt and I were always touching. Always. But Bella and Paul looked like they were about a step away from fucking in a crowded living room at all times. As much as I hated to do this, I had to drive into Port Angeles to get some items I would need for Matt’s birthday gift. Meaning I had to leave him in La Push where I knew he would be safe.

“Where you headin sweetie?” I heard from the kitchen.

“Oh, Debbie, good morning. I figured you would still be in bed.”

“Why? Because I was drunk off my ass last night? Hell I’ve been doing that since I was 16.”

“I’m going to Port Angeles to pick some things up for Matt’s birthday. I think I may be able to make it back before he pulls himself out of bed around noon.”

“Great! Your mom and I are going to make Matty a cake today and I can pick up the ingredients while we are there.” Okay. I guess Debbie was coming with me.

We took Mom’s car. I was tempted to take Matt’s since that would mean he had no way of going anywhere but I wouldn’t be overprotective. Really I wouldn’t.

We were enjoying the drive. Debbie was singing loudly. Like Matt she wasn’t very good. And like Matt it didn’t seem to bother her in the least. She also commented on the scenery. They didn’t get a lot of rain and mountains in Texas I guess. Big dam hills? Yes. Big damn mountaints? Not so much.

“Leah we need to talk.”

Uh oh.

“About what Debbie?”

“The future. You and Matty’s future. And I think it’s time we held an intervention.”

What the fuck was she talking about? I almost was afraid to ask. I opened my mouth to respond when she said something that made my blood run cold.

“Leah why are those people standing in the road?”

I looked and saw them. Three leeches. I didn’t recognize them but they were obviously waiting on me.

I slammed on the brakes and pulled to a stop. I wish I had Matt’s car. It was a piece of shit but had a huge engine.

The three leeches, two females and a male, were smiling at me. They were as still as statues about two hundred feet in front of us.

“Debbie, I need you to take my cell and dial Sam’s number. It’s in my contacts. Tell him we are being chased and we need help. Tell him we are 10 miles outside of La Push heading back.”

“But we…”

“Please just do it Debbie.”

I turned the wheel and did a U turn in the highway. I couldn’t see them in the rearview mirror. They must have been running along the sides of the road in the woods.

“Leah what the hell is going on? Holy shit I think I see one of them running beside us in the woods. At least I see something.”

“Call Sam!”

I heard Sam answer and Debbie tell him exactly what I told her to tell him.

“There are three of them Sam. I won’t be able to get away in this car.” I heard the end of the call. I took a curve and one was standing in the middle of the road. I slammed on my breaks again. This time though I couldn’t get away clean. As the car skidded around the trunk hit her and she must have grabbed the car. I put my foot down and heard the tires squeel but we weren’t moving. Shit. The other two were walking up the front of the car.

“Debbie, come with me!” I pulled her over to my side and threw her over my shoulder. I took off running with her in over my shoulders but I wasn’t fast enough. All three of them were between me and the woods.

“Leah please put me down. I think I’m going to be sick.”

I stood Debbie on her feet and placed her behind me.

“Leah what are they?”

“Debbie stay behind me. Don’t move unless I tell you too.”

The leeches weren’t much for small talk. Not one of them had said anything yet. They just kept smiling those creepy smiles.

“She smells like shit. I was hoping her kind would taste good.” One of the females commented.

“The other smells good though.”

I growled. Debbie was behind me though.

“Debbie back up about ten feet. Now!” I heard Debbie’s feet backing up. One leech went to get aroud me and I phased. I didn’t hear Debbie’s reaction. I was too busy focusing on the three leeches that were surrounding us. Who the fuck was already on patrol?

Debbie stayed behind me. I’m glad she wasn’t freaked out. Or if she was she was hiding it well.

One of the leeches moved towards me and I hit it with my front right paw. The other tried to get Debbie behind me and I turned. Then the other came. I was fucked. I couldn’t do this forever. And judging by the familiar growl in the forest I wouldn’t have too. Welcome to the party…

Paul POV

I came out of the woods at a full run. No time to assess. Attack. Leah was guarding Matt’s mom. She was surrounded. The best way to do this was to knock them all on their asses. I went head first into two of them, knocking them away. Seth was behind me. Seth and Embry. They jumped on one and dragged him into the woods. Leah began fighting the one in front of her. Jake came in and jumped in front of Debbie. I got hit by my leech and it pissed me off. He swung again and I bit his fucking hand off. He screamed and I bit deep into his shoulder and threw him into a tree. I followed him and and as he got up and clamped down on his head and pulled. Sam came and assisted us all in finishing these bastards off. We all walked into the woods and phased to human. Jake prodded Debbie with his head to go to the woods. Debbie to her credit did so.

“Leah? What’s going on? Why are you naked? Did you really just burst out of your clothes and turn into a wolf? A big damn Wolf? And who are you guys?” She turned around and saw Jake phase to human. “Holy shit!”

“Debbie relax. You are safe now. I need you to go with Sam in the car home and I will meet you there.”

“Leah you need to come with me!”

“Debbie I don’t have any clothes on.”

“It will be okay Deb. I promise you.” I told her in my best calming voice. Unfortunately calming wasn’t really my thing.

I heard Sam’s phone go off. We all listened. Who would be calling now?

“Yeah Collin? What do you mean Bella isn’t with the imprints? Paul didnt you tell her to go?”

“Yes, she knew she was supposed to go straight to your house.”

“Shit, Collin send Brady to find her.”

“That doesn’t make sense Sam. She is always there. She always does what I tell her too. She knows its important.”

Something was wrong. Leah knew it too.

Sam looked at me. “Paul go. Leah, Jake go with him. Get Quil’s ass over there. He should be in the south end of La Push by now.”

I took off. The feeling that something was wrong was growing.

BPOV

Paul didn’t say much. He heard a couple howls and he was gone. I knew what to do. I always go to Emily’s. I threw on a pair of jeans and a white tee. I put my hair in a pony tail and walked into the living room. And there she was. Waiting for me. Sitting on my favorite chair.

“Hello. Bella right? My name is Maria. Have a seat. Silly me, this is your house. Of course I can’t offer you a seat. But take one. I insist.” She had a Spanish accent. Sounded Mexican. She was pretty like all vampires were. But she also looked slightly insane. And her eyes were bright fucking red.

Not seeing much choice I sat down in the farthest chair away fom her.

“If you are going to eat me would you just get it over with?”

I was scared out of my mind but I would be damned if I let her know that.

“I’m not going to eat you Bella. You think I sent three newborns on a suicide mission all so I could sneak into Werewolfville just to eat you? Don’t flatter yourself sister. You don’t smell that good. Not good enough to risk death by chewing for.”

“So… So why are you here?”

“We both want the same thing.”

“We do?”

“Yes. You want La Push to be left alone by vampires and the Cullen’s gone and I want the Cullen’s gone. And I have no interest in La Push. I will abide by the treaty your tribe has with the Cullens. My vampires will stay out of La Push. But I need your help.”

“Why? What could I do?”

“I know things. I hear things. I know for instance that you dumped Edward Cullen and the only reason they are even interested in the Olympic Peninsula is because you are here and they want to protect you. I know Edward still loves you. I know you didn’t do a good enough job of getting him to beleive he didn’t have a shot again. You need to fix that problem. Convince them to go and I promise no harm will come to your family or friends or anyone in La Push.”

“What if I can’t? What if they won’t leave?”

“Convince them. I don’t care how you do it. Have sex with your wolf man in the back of Edward’s Volvo. It doesn’t matter. Get them to leave peacefully.”

“And if they won’t?”

“Then a battle is coming. A vampire war. It won’t involve your pack. This isn’t a threat. But it will be violent. Lives will be lost. Both vampire and human. And probably wolves if they get stuck in the middle of it. I am offering a peaceful way out of this. All the Cullens need to do is agree to leave. I know you are a resonable person. You can reason with them.”

“And if I don’t you kill me right?”

“No.”

“No?”

“No. Like I said, I have nothing against you Bella. I think it is pretty cool that a human dumped a vampire and is now screwing a werewolf. Kid you could write a book about your life if anybody would believe it. But no, I have no particular reason to want you dead.”

“How do you know this about me? All of it?”

“Like I said dear. I hear things.” She winked at me. The vampire fucking winked at me. “I doubt we will see each other again. And I hear one of your furry protectors coming. So it was nice meeting you Bella. Good luck. You may be the one person who stands in the way of people getting killed.”

And she was gone.

I started shaking. I curled up on the floor and couldn’t stop shaking. I havent been that close to a human eating vampire since James and then the look on Jasper’s face and Edward’s eyes. It all came up to me at once and I vomited. I vomited on the floor and I was crying and I had to get it together. I vaguely heard a growl and felt myself being picked up in Paul’s arms but I couldn’t open my eyes. I shouldn’t be this scared. She didn’t really threaten me at all. But all I could think about was James snapping my leg and biting my hand. Jasper charging me. Edward pushing me into the glass table.

“Paul?”

“I’m here baby. So are Leah and Matt. Jake is outside. Watching the house. You are safe.”

“It was a set up. She sent those three vampires to distract you.”

“I know baby. But it won’t happen again. I promise you.”

I feel safe in his arms usually. I was getting into that warm cocoon of safeness I usually feel around him. But something was nagging at my mind. It might happen again. It could be so easy. And I started school in a month and a half. He wouldn’t be there. What the hell was I going to do?
