I woke up the next morning still in Emily's living room on our make shift bed with a pair of warm, strong arms wrapped around me.

I turned over to see Paul laying there slightly snoring with his hair in all directions, with a slight smile on his lips. Seeing it was about ten in the morning and Paul never sleeps that late I knew they got in late from the wedding, probably dealing with Jake, if he even did come back last night.

I tried to get up so I could get some food for me and make some for Paul, but his arms tightened around my waist so I couldn't help but kiss him on his forehead thinking he'd relax...psh yeah right he smiled and his grip just tightened more.

So it seems escape is impossible. I layed back down and just enjoyed being close to him and looking at his handsome sleeping face. I ended up closing my eyes to just relax where I was, so some time later I felt a kiss planted on my nose. My eyes fluttered open to see Paul smiling at me.

"Morning beautiful." He says giving me another kiss this time on the lips.

"Good morning Handsome. You hungry?" I start to get up and he nods so he follows me into the kitchen and we decide on pancakes for everyone that way poor Emily can sleep.

"How'd everything go last night?" I ask while I start mixing things together and I feel arms snake themselves around my waist and he puts his chin on my shoulder.

"Eh," I feel him shrug. "It reeked all night long and you were right. Jake did show up and did crash the wedding."

"What did he do?"

"Just freaked out on Bella for having a 'normal' honeymoon or some shit. Basically he made her cry and her leech got all defensive and we had to pull him outta there before he phased on her." I just rolled my eyes.

"Classic Jacob, getting into more trouble then is smart." Right then the front door opened and it sounded like the boys were back from patrol.

"Mmmm something smells good!" Seth said walking into the dining room, with Quil and Jake on his tail.

"Pancakes alright boys? We're giving Em the day off." I say with a smile in their direction before getting back to making more.

"Of course Scar! Woa did you say we? Is Paul actually helping and not eating it all at the same time?"

Of course it's Quil that's gotta butt in. And to that Paul chucks an egg at his head and it hits and splits right in the middle of his forehead. We all start laughing.

"Yes Quil, he was actually making the pancakes hence why you got an egg to the face." He just sticks his tongue out at me and we all start laughing again.

After we finish about 30 pancakes we get eggs, sausage, and bacon together and all the boys start shoving food in their faces. I hear two pairs of footsteps come down the stairs surprised that they slept through all the noise.

"Morning Scar. Boys." The boys barely muttered a morning around their full mouths.

"Morning Em. Sam."

"Did you make all of this?" By this time we all had got some food on our plates and Paul had pulled me into his lap to eat.

"Yeah, but Paul helped with the pancakes and the bacon." Emily's eyebrows shot up into her hairline while Sam held up a hand to say something after he finished chewing.

At least he swallowed first...

"Wait a sec. Paul helped?" I nodded and I could tell Paul rolled his eyes. "And he didn't eat all of it?"

At that all the boys started laughing again and I shook my head but Sam didn't quite get it.

"I said the same thing when we got here!" Quil finally admitted.

After Everyone was done and had put the dishes in the kitchen I started the dishes even after many protests from Emily and me telling her she deserved a full day off which she thanked me for and finally left to spend some time with Sam.

Before Sam could go, Paul went to talk to him about who knows what. Jake wondered his way back into the kitchen looking like a child who had got caught coloring on the walls.

"Hey Scar..." He says not looking up at me, no doubt guilty for up and leaving the way he did.

"Jacob. Glad to see you decided to come back." Yeah I was a little pissed..

"Scarlett.. I had-"

"You didn't have to do anything Jacob! You left on your own selfish accord, not thinking how worried you had made Billy when we told him we had no idea where you were! Do you know he started blaming himself for you leaving?! Saying he wasn't being a good enough father and that was the reason why you left!"

"Scar-"

"I'm not finished Jacob Black!" By now everyone had gathered to watch, knowing he had this coming since he left, but also to make sure he doesn't phase on me.

"Billy is as good as my father as he is yours, and you know he sees me as a daughter. You know how long it took me to finally talk him out of blaming himself?! Weeks Jacob! Three Weeks!"

"Well what would you do Scarlett?! Huh? What if Paul found someone else?!" I do have to admit that kinda hurt, even with the imprint, this was a deep fear of mine that Paul could still leave me and Jake was the only one who knew that.

"What if he decided he loved you but not enough and married some other chick and left—"

"That's enough Jacob!" Sam butted in seeing as Paul was starting to shake at Jake's nerve to take it that far and probably coz he could sense my emotions over the subject..

"You leave my relationship out of this Jacob Black! It isn't the same as your twisted and demented love for the leech lover!! At least Paul is sure I'm his imprint, and I'm pretty damn sure I love him just as much. You're not even sure she's your imprint! You just want her to be! If she doesn't love you, you can't force people Jacob!"

"That's not what you told me before I left." Completely ignoring my last statement. I can't believe he brought that up..

"You are a true ASS Jacob Black!! You promised not to ever bring that up! And anyways it was weeks ago-"

"But it's a fear Scarlett, it can't just change overnight-"

"You were gone longer than just one night you asshole! I thought I could trust you with that! But it looks like I was wrong. You just needed someone to talk to because your poor Bella was leaving you and didn't care anymore!"

Yeah I probably took that too far, but he has no right saying my secret in front of the entire pack.

Sometime during our argument the guys had moved us outside in case anything happened, and Quil and Embry were both holding Paul back in fear of their friends' life.

I knew I said the wrong thing when I saw Jake's eyes go from the cold brown they were while we were fighting, to the scariest black color I have ever seen.

And before I knew it I was on my knees holding my cheek, while blood dripped out of my mouth. That ass had hit me!

Before I could do or say anything I heard the sound of tearing clothes, and looked up to see my grey wolf fighting with the russet brown one with so much fury it scared me.

The left side of my face had gone numb by now and thankful for my own abilities or else I would've probably been out cold. Embry was kneeling next to me while I saw my brothers' dark grey wolf try to keep Paul from killing Jacob.

It's his own damn fault, all the boys know better than to hurt an imprint or to let them get hurt so for all I care, he's getting what he deserves. He could have killed me if I was a normal human.

"Embry take Scarlett back inside and see if Emily can help, if not call Sue." Embry nods his head while Sam goes to help Jared who had managed to get Paul off of Jake but not before letting him seriously injure him first.

Paul looked over before I was pulled inside and his eyes softened a bit. I tried to smile but my face hurt too much, this only refueled his anger at Jake and tried for another go at him, but by that time I was already inside.

Emily had freaked out when she saw me, great that means my face is really screwed up... She had me lay on the couch after giving me I don't know how many pain pills and an ice-pac for my face.

I closed my eyes, but couldn't sleep because the feeling had come back into my face and damn did it hurt like a bitch! My head did too so it didn't help when the front door was slammed open by Paul asking where I was and if I was okay.

Em just told him I was in here and soon enough I heard his slow footsteps and his quiet gasp when he finally saw me. I just decided to keep my eyes shut, not wanting to hurt my head further.

"My god Scarlett. I am so so sorry, I should've-" He said grabbing my hand and rubbing it with his thumb.

"Stop Paul. It isn't your fault. I was the one that started it and I should've listened when Sam told Jake to stop but I didn't. Anyways what I said in the end was wrong-"

"But he hit you! You know we aren't allowed—"

"I know and that's why I didn't stop you from tearing the shit out of him."

At this I finally opened my eyes, well eye seeing as my left one was swollen, to see his tear streaked face slightly smirking probably at the memory of whatever had just happened outside. Then his face dropped and he brought my hand from his cheek to his lips and kissed it.

"But he could've killed you Scarlett with how hard he hit you, if you were human-"

"Then lets just be thankful I'm not fully human. I'll be fine. Don't worry."

Just then Jacob had the nerve to come into the room, let alone the same house, as a fuming Paul and myself..

Paul turned toward him and started to growl and probably would've started beating him again if I hadn't had a good grip on his hand.

"What do you want Jacob? " Paul bit out between gritted teeth, but Jake was dumb enough to ignore him.

"Scar, I-" He flinched when I turned toward him and he saw what he had done to me.

"Go. To. Hell. Jacob." I grit out before I layed back down and shut my eyes feeling a migraine coming on.
