Back To December
I'll fight for her
BTD 25
A few hours later we were still on the couches and laughing.
" - And then philly tries to do a backflips and falls on his ass!!" Chris ended, re telling us about one if his brothers misfortunes.
Phillip's green eyes glared at his brother.
I sighed, checking my phone as the laughter died down.
" call him." Alicia said with a raised eyebrow.
I bit my lip," I don't know, I mean-"
" Call him and put it on speaker." she told me again. I nodded, a little wary of her in a mischievous
mood.
I flipped open my phone and dialed the familiar number, gesturing for everyone to be silent with my finger.
Ring.
Ring.
" Took you long enough," Paul's deep rumble rasped.
I laughed," Love you too. Babe."
He laughed with me, I could picture his smile.
" I'm sorry, redo:
Hey baby, I miss you, love you, what's going on?"
I bit my lip and looked around the room at my friends who were listening intently to my conversation.
" Honestly not much. How are the guys?"
I heard him sigh and a rustling in the background.
I heard a shout that sounded like Jacob or maybe Embry.
" Arriving without permission, as always. Quil pouted the whole way back to LaPush. Emily is already going crazy and Sam is trying to calm her down, ya' know, nothing new."
I giggled. Phill and Chris shared a look.
Yeah guys, I know, I never giggle.
Get over it.
" God I'm homesick already. " I told him, closing my eyes to imagine being right there beside him.
He chuckled, " I know babe. I miss you too. I'm not gonna sleep right without you beside me at night. And holy shit- what am I gonna do when I get horny? My little sex kitten is in a foreign country!"
I blushed as all my friends turned red from holding in laughs.
Alicia had tears in her eyes from her silent laughs as she held her tongues.
I saw Phillip and Chris mouth 'sex kitten?'
" I think you'll find a way to relieve yourself," I teased.
He scoffed," I guess my hand is about to be my new best friend."
I laughed.
" Hey, you're the one who wanted me to take the opportunity. " I reminded.
" Yeah. I know. Don't remind me...Hey Kara?"
I furrowed my eyebrows, glaring at my still laughing friends and took the phone into the back room.
" Yeah? What's wrong?"
I heard Paul sigh. I could picture him running his fingers through his short hair.
" I love you so much. And you're gonna be gone for a whole year. I can't help but worry that-"
My eyes widened"- you think I'm gonna cheat on you!" I accused.
It was quiet. " No! Baby, No!" he yelled," I was talking about the drugs, the alcohol, partying. I'm worried you might do something stupid you'll regret..."
I glared at my phone," You don't trust me?" I asked through gritted teeth," Wow. Thanks."
Paul groaned.
" I trust you Kara. I do. But I don't trust other people. Look I don't want to fight baby..."
I bit my lip, tears stinging my eyes.
" You're right. Let's not. I gotta go anyway. "
Paul sighed," Okay. I love you baby. "
I smiled lightly," I love you too."
I hung up and collapsed on the couch and let my mind wander into the dark silence of the room.
There was a tap on the door.
I looked up to see Aaron.
Aaron was a little shorter than Paul and buff. He had wavy black hair reaching his shoulders with a red streak in the front.
He had dark chocolate eyes.
Aaron played lead guitar.
" Hey," I said, scooting over on the couch so he could sit.
I felt the cushions weighed down and looked over to see Aaron with a kind look.
" Trouble in Paradise?"he asked soothingly.
I frowned, laying my head on his shoulder," he doesn't trust me, A, i mean, I've done some pretty shitty, stupid things in my life... But you trust me, right?"
I looked at him frantically, searching for reassurance.
Aaron smiled lightly," Of course. With my life."
I smiled, taking my head off his shoulder to curl up on the couch with the blanket.
" Thanks A. You're a good friend"
I saw him nodd, and pat my arm before leaving the room.
I lay on my back and held my hand out in front of my face.
Mrs. Paul Redson
Aaron POV
I left the room in a hurry, but walked down the hall slowly. The bus went over a bump and I sighed.
That jerk doesn't deserve her. Doesn't trust her. Well I've known her longer. It should be me she loves....but I'll always only be her 'friend'.
" When you gonna tell her?" I heard a voice ask. I looked up to see Chris.
I glared at him," never. She's engaged, Chris. She loves him. She'll never love me. Not like I love her,"
Chris looked me dead in the eye and raised a blonde eyebrow.
" Well, maybe if you had told her three years ago, it could be you. "
He turned the corner and left me to my thoughts.
I'll fight for her.
