Him

Chapter 7

An hour had gone by me and James were sitting out front watching in the distance the pack house. Just as i thought maybe they won't find this house I seen 2 cars pull up. Josh white Toyota GR supra. He liked his fast cars  and Ant's black audi q5 suv. Yeah these guys love their cars like i love mines.

's**t my car' yelled in my head although Amber is the only one who could hear me.

'Oh well he knows your here now' She laughed back at me like she no longer cared we ran away and wanted him to find us.

James noticed my face scrunched up. " Are you ok?" I turned to look at him. "Um.. My car is still out front" I put my lips into a straight line.

"Ack don't worry about your car, he knows your here now" James tried to simpatis giving me a smile " I mean even though your out here trying to hide from him he knows your here somehow so you can't do much about your car.

Yeah i asked this question many times since i found out over a hour ago?. How did he find out? Why did Ant wait until he was a hour away to phone me?. Could have gave me more warning. I've been away for 3 days now. It didn't last long. I wasn't going back in a hurry either. Did Ant think things would change, is that why he didn't told me. Neither did Lucy ring me to say anything. It was swimming around in my head.

We sat there waiting to see what they would do. No doubt they figure out i wasn't there. "James you should go back, i'll be fine here myself" I stood up to walk towards my parents mural tree around the other side of the house " Are you sure? I mean i can stay here and help you out if he tries to hurt you".

"No James i don't want you to get hurt, it's better if i'm here on my own when he arrives" That's if he worked out where he'd find me.

"I don't think that's' a good idea, i'm sure your brother will beat me up if i leave you alone" He pushes coming a few inches closer to me. 

"Fine stay out of sight incase i do need help. But if not you can leave ok. I'll just kick his balls again" I chuckled to myself as i turn slightly to see him nodding in agreement then walk up to the front door of the house gives me a glance back at before disappearing inside. I then walk off the other direction.

I sat down facing the mural tree, me and Ant planted for our parents. It's been far to long since we were last here. It was still attended too and headstones we got were cleaned. Not sure how long i was sitting there looking at them both in the photo that lay against the headstone. They looked so happy. Remembering how they were back then.

I felt his presence was near. I didn't dare move, i sat there staring at the photo. I didn't wanna see him the fact that he wouldn't just let me go. He was coming back to torture me more not that he had to, i mean i've torture myself as well, stupid mate bond i sulked to myself. He didn't even look my way but i knew he was here. I was expecting him to bite my head off.

"Your brother told me you both made a mural up here for them" He spoke sounding normal like it's how was always spoke. It didn't sound right coming from him. I was was for him to grab me without saying anything or yelling like a crazy person then dragging me back, but he didn't. He just sat down next to me on the dry grass and looked at the photo too. He sat pretty close next to me, not touching but close enough that i could smell him.

 It was weird but when i looked slightly at him it was like he was remember a memory he had forgotten about. So many people had died that day, my parents and Josh's mum were got in the crossed fire.

'Ding'

My phone vibrated in my pocket, i brought it to my lap to look. A smile tugging at my lips to see Lucy was here to with Antony. She must have caught wind of them hurrying into their cars and jump in. Of course she couldn't be left behind she love adventure. I bet she had her ears to Josh's office listening for any information. Shame neither of them bother to let me know as they were leaving.

I felt Josh's eyes looking at me. I dare myself not to look as i know i'd just melt like butter. Not giving him that satisfaction anytime soon "Paige we need to talk" He finally muttered under his breath, It sounded like he was beating himself up but i couldn't care less. After everything it was me who was still surfing. We were sitting there for about a hour when he spoke. 

"Why do we need to talk? Think i've told you i didn't wanna see you no more" Standing up to leave. Josh was quick on my heel stopping me from going any further he grabbing my arms turning me to face him I nearly stumble into his chest. Shots a electric sparks hit my finger tips i quickly tried to pull my hands back but he took them in his.

"Just give me a few minutes please?" Oh wow now he is begging. Wonder what it's like to be in his shoes. Oh wait i was the mate he didn't want that's right why should i give him any of my time. 

"I don't think there is anything really to say is there? I mean you don't want me and your happy screwing anything that walks. I'm not coming back for you to keep treating like my s**t on your shoes" I tried so hard to pull my hands from his grip but failed he held them a little tighter.

"That's not why i'm here.. I know i've treated you badly worse than most...God i'm reminded of it everyday. I royally screwed up ok" He threw his hands up in the air finally letting go of my hands. "I can't cope without you not being around. I need you to come home, I need you with me" He sighed out like he had been holding it all in.

"For what? so you call bully me and push me around again, I don't think so" Was he seriously thinking i'd come home if he begged me.

"Give me a chance to show you i'm not like that. I'll do anything please I'll stay here until your ready to come back. We can spend time just you and me" He was really begging, almost on his knees begging, pleading me. I wanted to mentally note this image in my head i smile inside at it.

"If...If i give you one last chance Josh" I paused trying to think of the right words lifting a finger in front of him "and you fail to keep your word. I will reject you and i will leave and never come back. You won't find me, you will not come looking for me neither"

He took both my wrists in his hands moving down to hold both my hands in his. "Swear i wont f**k this up" He pulled me in tightly hugging me like he has never done before well he has never hug me at all. I took a swift of his scent at the same time. He sniffed my hair too. Inhaling my scent sharply. I raised a eyebrow to question him but i was kinda doing the same thing

. He finally let me go and put a arm around my shoulders. As we walked inside the house he flicked on the lights as we entered. Moving through the hallway with his hands still on me. It was very weird. For him to act like this. This isn't the Josh i know, i'm waiting on him to freak out on me to lose his s**t. I'd like to know why he is acting this way he seems to have relaxed and chilled out. I worked what Antony has said to him.

"Are you hungry?" He asked as we walked into the kitchen. The house was small, nothing like the pack house. It was cosy. The house was like a log cabin. There was a fire in each room to keep the house warm. Not that we needed it as we were natural hot. Big glass windows and door that opened out to the back garden.

"Ah, yeah i'm started to get hungry, but we don't have much in here to eat" I opened some cupboards and the fridge. Even looked in the freezer, ok there is nothing in here to ear ugh.

"Yeah looks like this place hasn't been stock up in a while. I have a idea" He pulls out his phone looks for a number and start ringing. As he is calling who ever i take a sear on one of the stools at the kitchen isle.

"Dude can you do me a favour and order us a Pepperoni pizza and bring in over to the house... Awesome" then he hung the call up.

"Was that my brother?" Apart from Antony only Lucy came along from what i could see from over here.

"Yeah since there isn't anything eatable here and saving us going back over there . He will leave it at the door for us. No will one disturb us for a few days. If your ok with that?" I could see he was arguing with himself hoping i'd agree to stay. I mean i did say i'd give him a chance but if he f***s up i'm gone and i wont hesitate to disappear.

"I'm ok with that". I stood up to go through to the living room. I thought i'd get the fire going and turn the TV on as we will be waiting a while for food. Josh followed and noticed what i was doing. He nipped outside to grab some firewood. I almost forgot that James was here but he must have left the house before we entered.

"You have a seat i'll do this" Josh ushered me to the couch and even put my feet up for me too. He then went on the put the wood into the fire and set it to light. After he comes over to me lifts me up and gets him self comfy behind me. He could have just asked i'd have got up and let him in. But no true dominant male has to do it his way eh.

I flicked through the channels looking for something to watch. Glad we have netflix here so can find plenty movies to watch. Took about a hour for our pizza to arrive. I heard my brother shouting through the letterbox "Pizza is here" In a sarcastic voice. Not sure what he was playing at but it wasn't cool. I swear the have cooped something up. 

Josh lifted me up again and placed me down gently like he didnt wanna break me or something. I just raised a eyebrow in a questionable look. I sat up to make it easier for him to just sit back down beside me. When he came back with the pizza he had some diet cola to. He placed down the pizza and juice down grabbed some glasses from the kitchen. We hardly spoke much, he was more about hugging me close to him. He was scared i'd run from him again. It was making him nervous. Or his wolf was giving him a right telling off or something. 

'Enjoy the moment Paige, ps his wolf is on my side here' Now i feel ganged up on.

"Would you like some juice?" He asked pulling a small table over from the side. "Yeah sure" He place the pizza on the table and the cups on either side poured the Juice into the cups then sat beside me putting the pizza onto his lap and pulling me into his side. I grabbed a slice of pizza from the box. Oh great stringy cheese. I struggled to separate it from the other pizza in the box.

'Could be like lady and the tramp with the spaghetti' Amber mocked as i took a bite of the pizza and the cheese it stringed apart and Josh laughed trying to help pull the cheese of for me. It was pretty funny i ended up having stringy cheese stuck to my face. With Josh staring at me from the side eating his own slice.
