Paul's POV

When I caught up with Edward he was not in the mood for talking so we soon ended up at his place, silently cuddling in his bed. We had kept our relationship quiet so they did not know that Edward and I were dating, but they did know we had become friends.

When Edward walked in his front door with me hot on his heels refusing to speak to anyone he had been bombarded with questions. "Bella broke up with him," was all I said in way of explanation, it was all I needed to say as they all left him alone, giving him the space he needed. I however climbed into bed with him and cuddled him.

We didn't speak for a long time and I respected his need for silence, I just held him close and thought of how much I loved him, how much I needed him, how I would never leave him. "I'm not disappointed." Edward finally said and he instantly had all my attention.

"I'm upset but not nearly as much as I should be. I love her, I know I do but..." Edward trailed off, not sure what to say. "How am I supposed to know what to say if I don't even know how I feel?" Edward demanded desperately.

"I wish I could give you the answer," I told my vampire, holding him tight and refusing to let go. "I wish I could make this easier on you and stop you from feeling any pain but I can't."

Edward snuggled closer. "I know it is wrong but I truly wanted both of you. I was at war with myself for what to do but when you both seemed happy to share I allowed myself to settle into the idea. It hurts that that is gone and it hurts that Bella doesn't want me, it hurts that I know deep down I drove her away. I want to blame you for Bella leaving but I know it wasn't your fault and I love you too much to risk losing you like that." He told me and although he was upset I couldn't help how my heart soared at his words.

"I'm here," I assured him, tightening my arms around the vampire. "I'll always be here, no matter what." I vowed and Edward smiled a sad smile.

"I know," he assured me. "I'm just upset because of Bella leaving and at the same time I hate myself for being so selfish." He spoke softly, burying his head in my chest.

"Hey if you want to blame someone blame me," I attempted to alleviate his guilt somewhat. "I knew damn well I was using the girl and I fucked her to get to you. And I don't give a shit how she feels."

"Thank you for trying Paul," my imprint mumbled into my chest. "But I know we both treated her with less respect than she deserves. I took her for granted and now she's gone, it's that simple."

"What can I do to help?" I begged my immortal lover, desperate to alleviate his pain somehow.

Edward snuggled closer. "Just keep holding me like this." He insisted. "Everything will be okay as long as you just don't let go."

Authors Note: And so we have reached the end, I hope you all enjoyed that.

lytebrytehybrid88 - He will react something like... Exactly that.

Challenge: Paul imprints on Edward, Edward won't say yes which is why Paul hates Bella so much.

Do you think I succeeded or not and why?
