CHAPTER 27 IS UP!

Hey all,

Breaking almost two and a half months of writer's block and general procrastination (I'm a terrible person/updater...whatever), Chapter 27 of my Paul/OC story is done and finally up on ff.net. Halle-fucking-lujah. I've been tearing my hair out because this has been so frustrating. So I had my characters fight and have sex with their clothes mostly on. Oh well, it fucking worked, and I am mostly pleased with the end result.


Also, during this 2 month period, I realize that I need to re-write this story, at least the first few chapters. Was it my first attempt at writing fiction, yes. That being said, it's awkward, and my writing from chapter 15ish on is way better. At least I think it is, if I would get a damn response from reviewers. Okay that's complaining, and I do have one faithful reviewer plus my friend started reading. That's a hell of a lot better than no one. Sorry for the tangent, here is the link!

Not going to lie, excited for this one. Hope people like it.

New Chapter

Hey all,

Got done with my big test yesterday, which I had to pass if I want to student teach next semester. Even for as big of a procrastinator as I am, I really couldn't justify any writing time between studying and doing work for my class.

Good news you ask? Well I am currently typing up the chapter now, so be excited! Well, I am anyways. So I should have the next chapter up in a few hours! Hopefully I will get a response with this one.

Chapter 27

Hi friends,

So all I really have to say is .... procrastination, thy name is ally.

Yep, huge assignment due in 2 days, and since I put it off I am suffering the consequences. It seems that whenever I have tests or big assignments due, I am hit with inspiration.

Since I am going to be the responsible 22 year old that I am (most of the time anyways), I have resisted the urge to write an entire  chapter, but here is a little clip. Feel free to PM me if you come across this, although I am really holding my breath on that one as I get so little response. Anyways, here is the clip...

Port Angeles Airport


Lily was bouncing impatiently at my side as we waited for her friend Alex's plane to land. She had dropped my hand in favor of spaztically checking the time on her phone every 5 seconds, it was amusing to see her this excited over something.

"Lily, your mom ever tell you that patience is a virtue?" I asked innocently.

"Oh shut it. I'm excited. Sue me. Well don't sue me because I'm a teacher, so I don't really have any money, and any money that I have is spent keeping you and Embry in cookies. Speaking of Embry, I really hope that he makes a good impression on Alex, because as you know I would really love for her to move here," She paused to take a deep breath.

Holy hell, I could not believe the speed at which these words came out of her mouth, and I tried my best to keep up. In the end I decided to go for distraction as I noticed that the plane had landed and people were making their way towards us.

I cut in before Lily could continue, "Hey Lil, I think she's almost here," Indicating the people walking towards us.

Before I could say another word, I heard "Marco" being shouted out. Lily's face brightened even more than I thought possible and she called out "Polo".

She cast me a sideways look, a big grin on her face, "You're better off not asking."

I took that statement at face value, and decided to watch the scene play out in favor of risking my imprint's anger. Alex's visit was pretty much all of us had heard about for the last week, with random tangents to Glee and Harry Potter. Leah thought it was hilarious that Lily could speak so quickly, and she tried to make her go off on as many tangents as possible. I didn't tell Lily that Embry and Leah had made a bet on it, but Leah was by far the clear winner. 33 different tangents in the space of a 5 minute conversation, impressive really.

Lily apparently spotted her friend, and sped off before I even realized what was happening. "Lex, Lex, Lex!!!!" She shouted running straight at a tall girl, with dark hair and a big smile on her face.

Lily threw her arms around her friend and squeezed, Alex allowing it for a minute before they both looked at each other and laughed, they then began jumping up and down, Alex confusedly saying, "We're jumping?"

Another inside joke, it became clear, when the two of them began to giggle. I don't think I've ever heard Lily giggle, and considering the way things have been heating up between her and I, that was saying a lot.

I was taken aback when Lily suddenly stopped, a look of disgust on her face, "Alexandria, what the fuck is on your head?!" Her voice carried farther than she possibly intended it to, as people turned to look at our little group.

Alex had put on of those headbands that were a braid of fake human hair around her head, what Lily terms 'Pocohantas' style. Trust me the only reason I had any idea what she was talking about was because of a 10 minute rant on headbands worn across people's foreheads, Leah was in complete agreement and added her own opinion every few minutes, so Creed and I sat there and nodded our heads like the good boyfriends we were.

Alex simply laughed, this time a completely genuine belly laugh, oblivious to the fact that her best friend was trying to glare a hole through her head. "I picked this little gem up before I left, I knew it would get you!"

Lily huffed, "Whatever Alex, you know how I hate those things." She reached out and snatched it off of her friends head, and flung it into a nearby trashcan. "Anyways, now that the awful headband is no longer, Alex, this is my boyfriend Paul. Paul, this is my bestest friend Alex!"

I reached out my hand and said, "...

......

So here is a baby clippet, I hope you like, please comment on it, and the new chapter will be out this weekend, hopefully!

Update/Question

Hey all,

So it's been about 3 weeks since I last updated, and I'm not going to lie, I was a little bit demoralized by the lack of reader response...again. Anyways, I'm looking to update this weekend.

I've been thinking that I would like to revise the story that I have so far, and completely repost it as a new story. I like the basis of the story, but I need to delve in a little deeper, and develop my characters more. Also, make Paul sound like less of a girl. I wouldn't start posting the new story until I revised everything, meaning I would have 28 chapters already written, and I would update everyday until I run out of pre-written chapters. Thoughts on this? I honestly think this could work out well, and I would be writing new material while posting.

PM to tell me what you think, I would really appreciate it.

Sneak Peak of Ch. 26

Here is a sneak peak of Ch. 26, which will be up later tonight, or tomorrow unless I fail at life again.

Lily POV at a Pack Function!

"Hello Jacob, I'm Lily. It's nice to meet you." I said politely, shaking the burning hot hand of the tall man in front of me.

"Hey Lily, it's nice to meet you too." He said just as politely as he solemnly shook my hand before grinning at me. "This is my girl Cody by the way."

I turned slightly and looked at a woman that was a year or so younger than me, a few inches shorter, but as pretty of a girl that you could meet. She had brown hair that was streaked with gold, a striking face, accented by wide eyes and pouty lips, but with an open and friendly air about her.

"Hey Lily. Nice to meet you too." Cody said, her voice a little deeper than I expected.

Paul drew Jake's attention away asking him about something they were working on, and when Jake replied he popped the 'p' sound whenever it could be applied to a word.

I was saved from saying something as Leah walked in the door and without a word to anyone else started dragging me and Cody off to the opposite side of the room, leaving Creed to fend for himself.

"No offense or anything, but does Jake have a speech problem? Or does he pop the 'p's' to be cool. I'm not gonna lie it's kind of annoying." I said in a normal tone of voice, not realizing that along with catching Leah and Cody's attention, every wolf present would turn to look at me.

Jake smirked, "Nope" he said deliberately popping the 'p', "I do it to be cool, it started because it was annoying and now it's just habit. Gotta problem with it?" He growled a little at me.

I shook my head quickly, my hair whipping back and forth, "Not at all Mr. Alpha. You keep popping those 'p's' to your hearts content!" Jesus Christ, I forgot about the whole super hearing, of course I would completely embarrass myself like that in front of a bunch of people that I didn't even know.

Leah just laughed, finally calming down enough to tell me not to worry about it, Cody nodding in agreement between her own giggles. Leah then launched into a story about some dumb girl named Bella Swan, who surprisingly never came up in any of our other talks, but this was due to me not being in on the whole wolf secret yet.

Bella apparently is a vampire, who seemingly has the perfect husband, the perfect daughter, although I thought she had the worlds stupidest name, and honestly some people just shouldn't be allowed to name their own kids, and the perfect after-life. After Leah finished her story, which was brought on by the fact that Bella had called Jake for something or other, she asked what I thought about it.

"She seems like a whiny bitch to me." Again looks of shock were sent my way, Leah and Cody laughing hysterically, yet both appeared to be in complete agreement. I turned and found Paul who was simply shaking his head in resignation.

Failing at Life

Hi friends,
I'm not exactly sure how many people find themselves here or at my profile at fanfiction.net, but I have been failing at life at updating my 2 multi-chapter stories. I partially blame Inception for my lack of attention, as the movie has completely taken over my brain. Another factor is that I have been unable to find the words for either story. Since I've Been Loving You, Chapter 9 is about half-way written and has been for the last month, I honestly try to sit and complete it and have a hell of a time with each attempt. I am never going to give up on the story, it just might take forever to complete it because I don't want to rush out some half-assed attempt. As for Sitting, Waiting, Wishing, well I have planned out the next several chapters in my head. The problem you might ask? Well I have the big picture figured out for about 5 chapters, but I am lacking the words. This is a humongous problem, obviously. Again, I will overcome this because I love the story too much to let it go. I think the last reason as to why I haven't been posting is because I have been a little depressed at some major life events. I have snapped out of my funk recently, and I feel as though I am in a much better place to write my happy story! Anyways, I have about 3ish chapters of Sitting, Waiting completed, and dependent on the response will be posted on fanfiction.net over the next 3ish days. Thanks all!

Characters from Sitting, Waiting

Here is Paul, age 23...

Here is Lily, age 22...except Lily has green eyes, and her hair is in fact completely natural...if anyone has a better idea, email me and let me know, thanks.

Here is Leah, age 24...

Here is Creed, age 25...(this actor is Jason Behr...and it is only through this picture of him that I see Creed)

Here is Jamie, age 16...(actor Alex Pettyfer but with shorter hair, remember Jamie is older than Nick)

Here is Nick, age 15...(actor Johnny Simmons)

This is Alyssa, age 19...(actress Camilla Belle)

This is Ann...

Well I couldn't find a picture I liked because Ann is 100% my mother, I keep picturing her in my head so I will just describe her:

She is 5'4, with dyed read hair (looks similar to Lil's) with gold streaks, brown eyes, and she is in shape too.

***I think that the Hawkins family roughly looks like all of people picked, not exactly like them but enough to give the reader a clearer picture. Adjust the pictures for the ages mentioned.

I'll add photos once other characters, like Alex, are introduced.

Outtake from Chapter 22 of Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Hi Friends!
In one of my many drafts of chapter 22, damn writer's block, I had Leah originally coming over to talk to Paul instead of Embry. This didn't fit the vibe I was going for so I changed it. However, you can read it here if you are interested.

Chapter 23 will will hopefully be up soon!

Chapter 22

Paul's POV

As I flopped down on the couch after another round of pacing, I had to resist the urge to check the time for the twelfth time in as many minutes.

Yeah I can just picture the expression on everyone's face if they could see me now. Paul Prade, the badass with an equal as bad temper, reduced to pacing and checking the time every five seconds. Just what is the cause of all of this? Lily Hawkins. I’m acting like a pansy ass, and I think the worst part is that I am aware of it but am having a real hard time acting differently right now. Fan-fucking-tastic. Where the hell is Leah when I need her? She would know exactly what to say right now. I have already established the fact that I don't want to act like this, but Lily has me acting like a 14 year old about to go on their first date.

You caught that right; I went on my first date at 14 and hell if I’m not more nervous right now. I blame the imprint.

I mean I wasn’t a manwhore by any means, unlike those in the pack that will not remain nameless, Embry and Jake, but I have my own fair share of experience. Not that it is helping me now, I thought sullenly. Like any of those girls could compare to Lily.

As I was about to drag myself up for another time check and round of pacing, Leah knocked once and burst through the door as she is prone to do.

She took one look and laughed at me.

"You're such a bitch Leah" I grumbled, "Here I am looking for a little sympathy and all you can do is laugh? Thanks for being such a great friend."

It took her another minute to quite down, and yet another minute to try and find a look that was sympathetic, “Probably good I came over right?” Without waiting for a response she continued, “I know you are nervous right now, but come on man! You have the imprint working for you and I honestly don’t think you are going to screw up the date that badly.”

She would have continued on if I hadn’t latched on to one key phrase, “That badly? Fuck you think I’m going to screw up? I knew this was a bad idea. Here I am freaking the fuck out and you are saying that you know it is already going to end badly?” My voice had risen to a shout at this point. It was like I was reverting back to how I was when I first phased, and realizing this I went into some of the relaxation techniques that Quinn had taught me.

Leah refrained from saying anything, knowing that the hold I had on my control was tenuous at best. After a few tense minutes in which I finally regained the hold I had on my temper, I waved a hand at Leah letting her know that she could say whatever it is she was planning.

“Fuck I am sorry Paul. I should have realized that with the first imprint date, teasing is a definite no.” Leah said in a rather remorseful tone.

My turn to apologize, “Yeah you should have known better Lee, or at least known me. I guess I’m sorry too. I don’t want my best friend mad at me, especially since I would have to be on the lookout knowing you would somehow try and seek revenge.” I looked at her, and the staring contest ended with the knowledge that we both screwed up and we were now able to move on. 

.......

Hope you enjoyed that!

Lily's Date Outfit

Here is the outfit that Lily wore on her first date with Paul. Just worked out that this is happening in the middle of August. 

These shoes are Marc Fisher. I do in fact own these shoes, and I can say they are super comfortable.  And damn cute. :)

These pants are from Kohl's, which I also own. Stretchy, comfortable, and form-fitting....all good stuff. You can't really tell but they are skinny jeans that are dark blue.

Lastly, this shirt is from Charlotte Russe, and the one part of the outfit that I don't actually own.

Remember that Lily has red hair and green eyes, and she is 5'8, so the shoes put her at about 6'1. 

Fail on Updates

Not sure if any of you read this but school is kicking my ass, combined with my softball season ending, I have been a little overwhelmed to say the least. Depressed might be more accurate, but life goes on. Another reason that I haven't updated anything is that my computer went down, AGAIN! Piece of shit computer, and to top it all off the moment my friend fixed it my power cord started sparking and smoking. Was I going to risk it and turn my computer on? HELL NO! So that big fire hazard was shut down and I had to order a new one. Of course it would happen right in the middle of the semester when I had a huge paper that was due. Anyways, I have to get through a test tomorrow and I will try and post up a new chapter tomorrow or Thursday. Sorry for the overdramatics, although it felt good to get out :)

New Story...Here In My Room

Hi all,
I decided to write a Paul/OC one-shot. It came to me after listening to the Incubus song, Here In My Room, and is a little bit darker than Sitting, Waiting. Here is the song if you would like to listen to it.

Lily's Tattoo!!!

Hi all,
I'm not sure who will read this, but I will start putting pictures and possibly extras from my stories.

The first post is from my story Sitting, Waiting, Wishing, here is the tattoo, referenced in Chapter 18 (Fanfiction will say it is Chapter 19, but I title the chapter, Chapter 18) that Lily Hawkins has
