"Bite my tongue bide my time

Wearing a warning sign

Wait till the world is mine

Visions I vandalize

Cold in my kingdom size

Fell for these ocean eyes

-Billie Ellish

TJ was currently at the Cullens watching tv while Rosalie braided her hair. She loved having her hair done, the feel of someone's fingers running through her head always soothed her. Emmett was yelling about some football team losing but TJ was too wrapped up in her thoughts to care.

The mark on the back of her neck began to burn and as much as she tried to ignore it, she couldn't. They were calling for her, she needed to go back.

It pained her to have to lie to Paul but she knew that he wouldn't let her go again willingly. She would have to fight him in order to leave and she didn't want to go through that.

But, she couldn't deny her calling, she was next in line for the title of Queen of the Amazons.

In order to get away for awhile she went to the Cullens because being around the pack was too hard knowing that she was keeping something from them. Edward read her mind the second she walked through the door and told everyone. Which he received the deadliest glare known to man. What a tattletale.

"You have to tell them soon." Bella said as she and Edward walked into the living room. She hated to see her friend in distress, she walked over to the Amazon and held her hand.

"I'll tell them when you tell Jacob that you two are getting married." She sneered but instantly regretted it when she saw the pair wince. "I'm sorry guys, I just don't want to hurt them again."

"You might hurt them more the longer you keep the secret." Edward said.

She knew he was right but she wasn't ready to break their hearts.

Paul was worried about his imprint, as he had been for the past few days. She was there physically but she wasn't there mentally. He noticed that she often seemed lost in her head, constantly spacing out and becoming easily distracted. When he asked her whats wrong she just said that she was fine.

Even now as they all sat around the dinner table, she cut her food up and took small bites. She ate two scoops of her mashed potatoes, a string bean and a bite of chicken before he noticed that she didn't want to eat anymore.

"You okay baby?" He asked even though he already knew the answer.

"I'm fine." He kissed her temple as she pushed the food around on her plate and then he rubbed her thigh for comfort. He shot Sam a look and then went back to eating.

After dinner, Sam stopped TJ and said that he wanted to speak to her. The other boys left and it was just Sam, Paul, TJ, and Emily still at the house.

"What's been going on with you lately? And don't say you're fine because you're not. Ever since you healed from the newborn fight, you've been distant. Whatever is wrong with you, let us help, you're our family." Sam said. His eyes begging for her to tell the truth.

The word family made all of the emotions that she was trying to keep at bay, break like a dam. Paul walked in front of her and put his hands on her cheeks as he whispered sweet nothings into her ear to calm her down. Wet, hot tears coated his chest, but he didn't care, his heart was twisting at the sounds of her sadness. If Paul could take away her pain, he would in he heart beat, but he needed to know what was bothering her.

TJ's sobs eventually turned into hiccups and when her breathing wasn't so erratic and pulled her face out of his chest and looked up at him. His warm hand brushed away a lone tear and he kissed her lips. Once she was calmer she looked at each one of them before looking down at the floor as if it had all the answers.

"I have to go." She mumbled.

"Go? Go where? The Cullens?" Sam asked.

"No," she looked up "back to Greece."

Paul jumped back like she burned him. "Like hell you are! I thought you were staying here."

"I lied. I just wanted to have a couple more days to spend with you guys, but now I have to go."

"You can't leave me, I just got you back." Paul whispered, absolutely heartbroken. The square shaped box in his shorts pocket starting to feel like an anchor, weighing him down.

"I wish I didn't have to but... I'm next in line as Queen of the Amazons."

No one knew what to say, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Did you just say you were a queen?" Emily asked.

"Not yet, I have to back to Greece to accept any challenges against my crown, then if I win them all, I'll be."

"Your parents always said that you were special." Sam finally said with a sad grin. As much as he wanted to her stay, he knew she had bigger priorities.

"No kidding, huh?" She shot him back a sad grin of her own.

"When are you coming back?" Her expression said it all and Paul's heart broke even more. "You have to come back, the pack needs you... I need you Trinity." He whispered. She heard Sam and Emily leave to give them some privacy.

"I know Paul, I just-... I'll see if I can come visit."

"It's not the same and you know it!" He yelled and his body started to shake a bit. "You need to leave, then fine, leave! It's all you ever do!" He stormed out of the kitchen and TJ heard his clothes rip as he transformed. Tears fell down her cheeks but she couldn't go after him, she had to go. As much as she didn't want to.
