Chapter One: Life after Bella

JPOV

I had just woken up from another four hour night sleep after patrol. Even though Sam had us patrolling less often after Bella and those leeches left, I still barely got any sleep.

Every moment I spent around the border between our lands I though of her, and how by now, she was probably just as cold and dead as the rest of her bloodsucking family.

I knew I needed to let it go, I was constantly reminded of this by my brothers while we were in wolf form together. They were becoming somewhat ticked off by my constant worried thoughts to put it lightly.

Surprisingly Leah was the most understanding of what I was going through. Which I guess is understandable after what happened between her and Sam. But I had though that she would be the most hostile because of their past.

I like to believe that I'm getting better at keeping my thoughts from straying to Bella, I've been trying to keep myself busy so I'm constantly thinking about something else, which is why, even with the lessened amount of patrolling, I am still severely sleep deprived.

I sleep less because when I'm asleep it's the only time when I can't keep my mind from her. I don't have nightmares anymore but I used to wake up in a cold sweat after dreaming that the kind hearted Bella I had fallen in love with was now a bloodthirsty creature of the night. I really needed to get a grip on myself.

I got out of bed and walked groggily into the bathroom to take a shower. As the water washed the dirt from the forest off of me I thought about what I would do today. Our food supply was running low and my father and I could barely manage to cook even when we had a fully stocked kitchen.

I walked into the kitchen after getting dressed in a pair of worn shorts and a black t-shirt. Dad was already awake and attempting to find some form of milk in the refrigerator for cereal.

"Good morning," I croaked out as I walked in and plopped down in a chair next to him.

"Good morning son, would you mind running to the store? We seem to be a little sort on… well, everything," my father chuckled. I could tell ever since Bella left he has been trying to cheer me up all the time, and between him and the pack it was starting to get annoying.

I know they only tried because they cared, but I needed to work through this on my own.

"Yeah, sure Dad," I replied. I grabbed the keys to the rabbit and headed out the door. As usual it was lightly misting outside which did nothing to improve my mood, which was never really that good to begin with.

The grocery store in La Push was pretty limited, but it usually had whatever we needed because we tend not to be too picky. As long as we can get enough of something to feed an adolescent werewolf, it didn't really matter what it was.

I walked into the store and debated on which direction to food search in first. No matter how many times I came to this store, I still didn't know where everything was. With a defeated sigh I decided just to walk down each aisle and pick out things I thought we needed.

I started to zone out as I walked around the store. I had filled up one basket and was arguing with myself whether or not I needed to get a cart when I rounded a corner and ran right into a woman about my age.

I was immediately embarrassed and bent down to help her up for she had fallen over after the collision.

I made eye contact with the woman as she stood up and found myself unable to look away. I felt as if my entire world had just shifted to this one person. Suddenly all I could think of was her, and her big beautiful blue eyes and glossy red hair, and pale flawless skin…

"Oh geez, sorry, I wasn't watching were I was going." She chuckled while I just stood there gaping at her like and idiot. She started to look uncomfortable at my intense stair and I broke out of my trance and attempted to put words together, which was surprisingly difficult in my current situation.

I shook my head and smiled what I hoped was a charming smile.

"Don't worry about it, I wasn't paying attention either, my names Jacob." I kept smiling and held my hand out. She shook my hand and smiled back.

"I'm Lily, do u live around here?" she asked, still smiling her beautiful smile. I almost forgot to answer because of my momentary distraction.

"Um yeah, do you?" which I immediately felt stupid for asking because she was obviously not from the reservation.

"No," she giggled, "I'm from Virginia, but I'm staying with my relatives here for the rest of the summer." She was so perfect. I couldn't stop thinking about how I never wanted this conversation to end.

We made small talk for a little while and eventually I worked up the courage to ask for her number. She blushed and wrote it down on my hand. I made an oath that I would never wash that hand ever again. We said goodbye and I just stood there in the aisle in shock for about five minutes.

In those five minutes it hit me. I just imprinted. I started to freak out, thinking that I was betraying Bella even though I knew that was an irrational thought. But after about a minute of spazing out in the grocery store aisle I realized that I didn't care that about Bella that way anymore, because I had just imprinted, and I was ecstatic.
