Loca (Paul Lahote fanfic)

New Friends

When I walked through the door to my house the next morning Bella was walking out "Hey Bells, can we talk?" I asked she looked at me and was about to say something when Paul walked up behind me, she looked from him back to me a few times.
"Hey" Paul said with a smile as he placed his arm around my shoulders.
Bella nodded in response and looked towards the black car pulling up in our driveway, she looked back to me with a sigh "it's fine go, we'll talk later yeah?" I said offering her a small smile.
"sorry" she mumbled running down the driveway.
"you're sister hangs out with the Cullens?" Paul hissed I looked up at him shocked.
"what you don't like them?" I asked.
"not particularly, more I don't like what they are." he was glaring at the car as they drove away.
I hummed "yeah, she's got this thing for one of them, Edward he's a total arse." he looked down at me and nodded. "wait you said what they are, what's that suppose to mean?" I furrowed my brows at the boy who only shrugged in response.
"we should probably go upstairs." he said looking towards the living room where Charlie was sat watching the game, I nodded knowing this was a pack thing.
"where have you been, Becka?" Suddenly Charlie was up from his chair and walking towards us, he was glaring at Paul.
"I was out on the res, sorry my phone died." I stated, removing Paul's arm from my shoulder.
"all night? On the res huh?" he looked between Paul and I.
I nodded "yeah dad, it's not like it's a new development."
"no, but he is." he looked to Paul who stretched out his hand to shake Charlie's own.
"hello Mr. Swan, it's good to see you again." he said formally, it was strange seeing Paul this polite to people.
"good to see you also Paul, let's chat..the both of you." he turned towards the lounge room and sat on the old recliner chair, Paul and I sat on the couch opposite him. "so Paul, how old are you?" he questioned. I rolled my eyes at my father, why did have to be so embarrassing? I thought to myself.
"twenty, sir." he stated keeping eye contact with my father. Charlie rubbed his chin and nodded his head.
"what's your intentions with my daughter?" he crossed his arms over his chest and rose his eyebrows as he leaned back into the chair.
"dad, seriously?" I hissed.
"no, no. Its fine, loca." Paul said a warm smile on his face.
"did you just call my daughter crazy?" my father chuckled.
"only stating the truth, sir." Paul joked. Charlie let out a loud laugh and nodded. Seriously? I thought to myself they're already making jokes...at my expense. "my intentions are good, sir. I intend on being with your daughter for a long time, I can promise you this I'm not interested in short term and I will take care of her, I will protect her no matter the circumstance." Charlie smiled obviously pleased with Paul's answer and stood from the chair.
"well, that pretty much sums it up. Keep good to you're word, boy I am a cop and I know how to track someone...to the ends of the earth. And I own a gun." Paul nodded as I chuckled. We rose from the couch and went up to my room.

"sorry about Charlie." I mumbled as I sat on the bed. Paul gave me an amused looked and hummed. "so what was all that with Edward?"
Paul stiffened and took in a deep breath causing his chest to rise, I admired his chest for a moment. You could literally see the muscle lines through the black fabric, sweet baby jesus I thought to myself.
"Luckily you're already sitting because this is a big one, I showed you what I am but you don't know everything—" he started to pace back and forth "the reason we turn is because our inner wolf senses danger, one danger in particular." his face was contorted with a look of thought.
"what is it?" I asked practically falling off my bed with anticipation, I really needed to know if Bella was in trouble.
"vampires." Paul stated. My jaw went slack causing my mouth to fall open, my eyes were open as much as they could possibly be.
"the Cullens are vampire's? So Bella wasn't wrong?" I rushed out pushing the hair from my face. "oh my god, Paul seriously? Why are they here? When did they get here? How old are they? Will they hurt her?!" I started to panic, I was breathing at a rapid rate and my heart felt like it was going to pound its way out of my chest.
"woah, baby chill." he said suddenly kneeling in front of me his hands on his knees.
"they live here, they have for hundreds of years, they're age varies, and not while I'm around they won't. I won't let anything happen to her, I promise you that." he placed his hand on my shoulder reassuring me, I nodded in response.
"I have to go see her, I'm going to go to the Cullen's house will you come with me?" I looked at him with pleading eyes but I saw the apology already forming on his face.
"we have a treaty with them, they can't go on our land and we can't go on theirs. I can't go." he looked pained to say it.
"okay, well I'll drive to your house after. I need to get Bella away from there." I rose from the bed and reached for my truck keys.
"no, loca please I can't protect you there. Don't go." he stood in front of the bedroom door with his hands up.
"Paul, she's my sister. I need to get her out of there she doesn't know what she's doing!" I started to panic again and Paul lowered his hands.
"text me when you get there and when you leave, promise me." he let out a sigh of defeat and brought me into a long embrace.
"of course." I said my voice muffled by his chest. He placed a soft kiss on my forehead before taking my hand into his own and walking me down to my truck.
                      - - - - - - - - - -
I pulled up out the front of the Cullen's house, it was three stories high and was majority glass I gaped up at the house in awe, it was so open and beautiful. I sent Paul a quick text message telling him I had arrived and stormed out of my truck, when I reached the door Doctor Cullen was waiting for me.
"Becka—" he started before I swiftly inturrupted.
"where's my sister?" I said sternly, giving him my best I'll kick your arse if you don't answer me correctly glare.
"she's in the kitchen." he said politely as I pushed my way past him.
"that's twisted, tell me do you take all your pets in there?" I spat at him as I rounded the corner.
"excuse me?" Carslile sounded shocked.
When I found the kitchen, I saw the group all laughing and talking expect two Rosalie and Jasper were in the corner. Rosalie looked mad and Jasper looked uncomfortable, they're heads snapped towards me and I glared at them.
"don't try anything, my boyfriend will tear you all to pieces." I stated "Bella we have to go." I grabbed her hand to move her forward and she attempted to resist.
"Becka, stop! What are you doing?" she hissed at me. Edward was suddenly in front of me glaring down at me.
"back off, they'll know who did it." I sent him a menacing look as I attempted to push past him.
"she's not going anywhere and neither are you. We need to talk about this." Edward said calmly.
"we don't need to talk about shit, lover boy and if I find out you've hurt her in any way. I'll tear your fucking head off." I puffed my chest out slightly and looked up to meet his eyes.
There was a laugh from behind me, I turned to glare at the culprit to find Emmet smiling at me "I like her can we keep her?" he asked no one in particular, Rosalie snorted as she looked to him.
"Becka please, hear me out. I would never do anything to Bella." Edward pleaded, I nodded my head and turned back to look at him.
"fine but she waits in the car." I demanded. Edward nodded, Bella tried to protest but Edward muttered something to her and she walked out of the house in defeat.
"please sit" Edward motioned towards a big glass table with beautiful mahogany chairs around it, they must be loaded I thought to myself but of course they were, if you had forever you would eventually become pretty damn rich. I clicked my tongue and glared at him some more.
"I'd rather not." I crossed my arms over my chest and leant against the wall, not for comfort but for the fact that I didn't want my back exposed in a situation like this.
Edward nodded and began to pace "I can safely assume that you know?" he raised an eyebrow towards me.
"what that you're blood sucking parasites?" I earned a few hisses from the group behind him, I shrugged. I didn't care I wanted them far away from my family.
"my family and I we aren't like other of our kind, we only feed on animals you could say we're...vegetarians of sorts." he looked towards me and I raised an eyebrow and nodded for him to continue. "we don't feed on humans, we never will. We don't want to harm anyone, we just want to live our lives in peace." he said.
I nodded again "what's your intentions with my sister?" I asked rubbing my fingers on my chin.
"I want nothing more than to be with Bella, I promise you I won't let any harm come to her as long as she lives. I will always protect her, with my life. She is my life." he stopped pacing to look me in the eyes.
I nodded again "I'm not convinced. I can't stop her from seeing you, clearly because she is hiding behind the wall behind me!" I raised my voice so she knew I could hear her shuffling around.
The group chuckled as I turned back towards them "but I'd like you all to know one thing my partner Paul, he's beta of the Quileute tribe. So don't fuck up." I held Edwards intense gaze, he nodded in response.
"I understand." he said "Bella stop hiding." Bella came out from behind the wall and rushed to his side, I watched as he held her hand and pulled her in close. I could see the love between them but I wasn't convinced.
Emmet suddenly clapped his hands together and rushed towards me at inhumane speed, I was shocked but tried not to show it "so, I believe you owe me a rematch for the last football game you so graciously lost?" his wore a wicked smirk and I couldn't help but mirror it.
"I did not loose, you cheated. But you're on, big man." I said punching his arm.
Bella rolled her eyes "they are literally the same person" she whispered to Edward "if it wasn't for Emmet being a few hundred years old, I'd swear we had a long lost sibling." Edward chuckled and the rest of the group joined in.
Emmet mock bowed in the direction of the back door, I curtsied in response before rushing outside to start the game.
            - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The sun was starting to set and I was sweating buckets "okay, we have to call it." I panted at Emmet who was still smiling at me, we had been playing for hours one rematch turned to another and another and so on and so forth.
"so you admit defeat?" he teased, I threw the ball at his face he caught it inches away of course but I was still satisfied with how close it got.
"shut it, sparkles—" I teased back still trying to catch my breath, I had nicknamed Emmet sparkles after finding out that Vampire's don't burn in the sun they simply glitter. "I don't have night vision, don't you worry though I'm already planning a rematch." I rose from my hunched position and straightened. "besides you don't want a pissed off werewolf running over here do you? He's probably called like a trillion times." I said wiping the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand.
Emmet laughed and nodded crouching in front of me with his back facing me "ah, what are you doing?" I asked confused.
"jump on." he chuckled, I didn't protest it was a strange gesture but I couldn't be bothered walking all the way back to the house, the minute I wrapped my legs around his waist he took off running at a ridiculous speed the trees were nothing but coloured blurs around us and the air took my breath away for a moment, I couldn't help but laugh. To say it was awesome was an understatement, the speed was incredible. I could never get this kind of speed on the dirtbikes heck this speed just wasn't humanly possible! I held onto him as tight as I could and let out a few yips and woohoos, when suddenly we were in the lounge room of the Cullen's house. I laughed again as I jumped off his back.
"dude, okay that's impressive." I said with a wide grin, I bought my fist up and he tapped his much larger fist against my own beaming down at me.
"shut up, baby I know it." he teased crossing his arms over his chest. I laughed and turned towards the group who were watching television.
"Hey Bells, I've got to head out. You want a lift home?" I asked still smiling from the adrenaline rushing through me. She looked up at me with a small smile.
"no, that's fine you go. E-edward will give me a lift." I looked to Edward who was sat next to her one arm over her shoulder the other playing with her hand. He looked at me and nodded, the smile dropped from my face and I nodded back.
"okay, well I'm staying at Paul's so can you tell Charlie I'm on the res?" I said as she handed me my cell phone.
"yeah of course." she said looking back to Edward.
I said my goodbyes to everyone and gave Emmet a quick bro hug before heading to the door, I stopped and turned back to Bella "oh and Bells?" I called catching her attention "we're so talking about this when I get home." I gave her a short wave and headed to the car, I sent Paul a text as I walked.
'hey you, I'll be at your place soon I got caught up in a football game."
I reached for the door handle of the truck when a ding sounded.
'don't tell me you're all buddy buddy with the leeches now too?' I frowned at my phone screen.
'number one I'll be friends with whoever I damn well please, number two no just Emmet. :) '
I opened the door to the truck and jumped in, quickly starting it to turn the heater on.
