;-; ONE ;-;
It honestly wasn't something she could say she looked forward to, coming back to Forks to be close to her sister when Bella prepared to give birth, but regardless, Ana found herself unable to bow out of it and in all honesty, just wanting to make sure her older sister was actually alright, that she wasn't being lied to and her sister's condition wasn't being grossly exaggerated like Bella had done so many times during their talks in the past.
She pulled her Mustang to a stop at the foot of the Cullen's well manicured driveway and she sat there a few seconds, sort of gathering herself together and preparing for the worst because Bella hadn't sounded good at all when they'd spoken on the phone earlier in the week and that was the biggest reason Ana came to Forks to be with her sister when she got ready to give birth.
She might pretend otherwise but.. She did really love her older sister and she didn't want her older sister to face this whole crazy as hell and slightly terrifying situation she was in without telling her that, she didn't want to find out she'd missed a chance to say the words and regret it later.
What she was not expecting, however, was for Jacob Black to still be kicking around the area, last confirmation from anyone was that he'd taken off for Canada after Bella made her stupid choice and chosen ice over fire, marrying Edward and turning her back on Jacob. But the motorcycle whizzed past her Mustang and parked beside Edward's Volvo and Ana gave a groan of frustration and then a long and low whistle to herself as her eyes roamed over the body of a fully grown Jacob Black. She lightly fanned herself and she'd been just about to put the car into reverse, turn around and just leave for now, let them all have their time with her sister and come back later, but naturally, that's when she couldn't tear her eyes off of him and then she realized that somewhere in the space of five minutes, he'd started staring right back at her.
The scent of coconut overwhelmed him just as he placed his hand on the handle of the Cullens front door. Whether he wanted to or not, Jacob found himself unable to resist the urge to turn, to try and identify the source of the mouth watering aroma. Slowly, he turned and his dark brown eyes darted around the area, looking until they settled on the black Mustang idling behind the bright yellow Porsche that Alice had purchased about a year ago; after everything that happened in Italy. Then, it happened. Everything around that Mustang went blurry, his eyes fixed on it's brunette driver and in an instant, all the pain he felt, all the hopelessness, it was gone, almost like it had been a long and horrible nightmare. Images of them together bombarded his mind and over and over, he kept thinking to himself that everything was finally going to be okay now, that nothing hurt anymore while also wondering who the Cullens knew that actually liked Mustangs and not their prissy foreign automobiles. It quickly hit him exactly who his imprint was when their eyes officially met for the first time after his life altering moment and she gave a small wave of her hand and proceeded to act as if she were about to drive away from the Cullens.
It had been Ana all this time. And apparently, Ana was back in Forks now.. He thought about it, remembered his father saying something about Ana moving back, Ana starting classes to become either an Engineer or an architect and taking business classes because according to Charlie, she wanted to become a real estate agent as well.. He'd only been tentatively listening that night, but… It sounded like an Ana thing now that he thought about it.. And he'd been sort of hoping to run into her but so far, no luck in that area… Until now.
Before he realized it, he was moving towards her car as if he were operating on auto pilot, he just.. He had to see her again, it had literally been years since he'd seen her. And maybe it was just her being his imprint, - though deep down, he knew it wasn't, he had missed her more than he realized.
Just as Ana put her hand on the gear shifter and cranked the engine of her car, she realized that he was walking over. "Fuck." she muttered, attempting to leave quickly, instead finding her eyes frozen and lost in his. 'Just like they used to do whenever he walked in a room', she mused to herself, biting her lower lip, letting down the window to her Mustang when he knocked softly on it.
Jacob stood there; speechless and frozen for a moment. The smell of coconut hung heavily in the air surrounding Ana and everything he'd just seen as he imprinted on Ana just three and a half minutes before. Finally, he realized that he had to say something, and he asked with a smile, "You weren't leaving already, were you?"
"I thought about it, yeah.. Just like, going back into town and visiting Charlie until I was wanted or needed here." Ana answered, giving a shrug as she admitted quietly, "I came all the way here two weeks before I was planning to move here because she sounded horrible, like she was in really bad shape when I talked to her on the phone, Jake.. Level with me.. How bad is it? This pregnancy has done something to her, hasn't it? I mean she sounded like she was knocking on the door of Death earlier when I talked to her on the phone…" Ana looked up at Jacob expectantly, waiting on an answer. He took a deep breath and answered quietly, "It's not pretty, there's no sense in lying to you." as he shook his head and Ana swore quietly, glaring at the house. "It had to be the one idiot who could kill her, didn't it?"
"Yeah, apparently so.."
"You're okay now, right? Charlie, he told me you took off for Canada after the wedding?" Ana asked, biting her lip, dragging her fingers through her long mane of dark and wavy hair as she looked up at Jacob, curious look in her golden brown eyes.
"I did actually. And I almost stayed, but I got homesick."
"Yeah, that's kind of my whole reason for coming back to go to college. I missed living here, I mean Florida is great it's just… I missed Charlie." Ana explained. The growling of her stomach reminded her she hadn't eaten since the gas station stop at about 3 am and she nodded to the passenger seat as she told Jacob, "Get in.. We'll go to the diner. I'm starved, I don't know about you. Literally my last food was at 3 am. It's now 12 pm."
"Have you even slept at all?"
"I've gotten rooms and slept overnight, kinda stretched the trip out to almost a week and a half, so yeah.. I did a lot of sight seeing." Ana admitted, moving things out of the passenger seat so Jacob could get into the car. She laughed when his knees met the dash and then said "You might wanna move your seat back."
"Yeah, that much was obvious, Ana."
Obviously, I'm revisiting an attempt at an imprint fic here, and I decided to go with Jacob in light of that whole Jacob and Nessie getting their own movie / book thing I heard recently. I never liked that Jacob just sort of imprinted on Bella's spawn. And yes, OC is Bella's sister, but.. Ana hasn't lived in or been to Forks since she was probably about 5. There will most likely be occasional bashing because I HATED BELLA. But this is a complete AU from the point where Jacob imprinted in Breaking Dawn to hopefully, the future. some things will still happen they just won't be the exact same as the books or movies.
This is all I have written for this story, I know it's been done a thousand times and I know that everybody has a sis fic but here, this is mine and it's not going to be exactly like the thousand others already on the archives. go easy on me guys because I know my writing is the worst.
