Imprint

He sighed, looking up at the stars with a small frown set on his pale lips. I gave his hand a short squeeze and he flashed his gorgeous liquid gold eyes to me. "It's beautiful out here…" He whispered, turning his eyes away and back up to the sky. I smiled. "Bella would have loved this…" I frowned. It had been one year since…the Accident(1)…one long, painful year in which he never smiled, laughed, or spoke with anything other than a broken whisper.

I closed my eyes and pulled my hand out of his. I thought I was stronger than this. I thought I didn't mind being his dirty little secret, his only flaw. I thought it wouldn't hurt this bad when he whispered her name instead of mine…

"Jake?"

His voice, smooth and gentle as silk, startled me out of my thoughts. I opened my eyes; he was watching me, his eyes concerned and questioning but distant. I smiled out of reflex.

"Edward?"

"Is something wrong?" He asked. He stayed out of my mind more often these days and I was grateful for that.

"No, everything's fine." I replied, dropping my eyes to the ground. I couldn't lie when I looked in his eyes…He nodded, which hurt more than it should have. It hurt. It hurt that he didn't really care. It killed me that he only thought of me as a fuck doll to ease the pain.

Grin and bear it Jake. My mind whispered to me. "We should get back before the others notice we're missing." I said, proud that my voice didn't crack.

"Yes, you're right." He replied. I turned my back to him and started to walk away. "Bella…" He whispered and the leaves rustled and my heart broke a little bit more, "Bella…I miss you…"

"When you imprint Jacob it's…the most amazing feeling in the world." Sam explained, "But there is a catch…there are two kinds of imprints."

"Really?" I asked. I had never heard of such a thing.

"Yes. There is the kind like Emily and I where the moment we laid eyes on one another there was a connection that could never be broken. A truly beautiful love..." I rolled my eyes as he gazed dreamily off into space. I waved my hand in front of his eyes and he snapped back into reality, "Oh yes, then there is the kind that is not as common but can be deadly. It's the kind where you may not imprint immediately and once you do it hits like a ton of bricks but the one you imprint on may not love you back…and if they don't after a month…you'll die." My eyes widened dramatically and Sam patted my back, "But don't you worry about that Jake it almost never happens."

Well guess what; it happened.

My eyes drifted over Edward's figure as we met once again in the same beautiful clearing we had been meeting in for almost nine months. Then something happened. I knew that I loved Edward. I never denied that, even when I realized that Edward still loved Bella and would never love me…but now…it was as if something had come over me. Like Sam said, it hit like a ton of bricks and stopped me in my tracks…and it was painful. My heart seized in my chest and seemed to stop beating. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. My thoughts consisted only of him, and that was scary and beautiful all at once. "Edward…" I whispered softly and he froze. His eyes locked on mine and I hoped, prayed, and wished that he felt the same. That maybe, just maybe, this imprint, this connection would make him forget Bella and maybe just maybe he could truly be mine. He scrunched his eyebrows together and I held my breath then he whispered, "Did you just fucking imprint on me?" He sounded disgusted.

"Well Edward I-"

"I can hear your thoughts Jacob," Edward's voice was cold and hard as steel, cutting through my heart like a knife, "And I will never forget Bella. I don't know what you're thinking but stop it right now. I will never be yours. Bella was the only one I could ever love." He turned away from me.

"Then what was I?" I heard myself whisper, "For the past nine months we've been meeting here. Kissing, holding, making love-"

"No Jacob," His voice was so cold and disgusted I cringed, "I fucked you. I kissed you, I thought of her. I held you, I thought of her. I fucked you…I thought of her."

"Edward…" I whispered.

"Jacob, I don't want to see you anymore. If you want to insist that you mean anything more to me than a stress relief then you can just keep it to yourself. I will never, never love you."

I turned away from him. I didn't want to leave…but I would do anything he asked. I would die for him. "Edward…" I said in a soft voice, "I have one month. If I can't make you love me in one month, I'll go away. You'll never have to see me again. Please, just give me one month." I turned back to him, a lone tear trailing down my cheek that I quickly wiped away, "If I can't make you forget. If I can't make you love me…I promise, I'll leave. I'll give up. I'll do anything for you Edward."

"One month…" He whispered, then looked up at me, eyes glaring and upset, "Fine, one month."

(1)-The Accident happened after Bella became pregnant…long story short she died. I may do a story detailing what happened but only if people ask…otherwise if you're really curious shoot me a PM and I'll let you know.
