Hey guys I know I have another story in progress, but the thing is I am depressed and that story isn't helping lol. That is one of the reasons I have not updated because the last couple of months have been hard on me and I am finding it hard to cope. I am hoping that writing this story will help :) please review and don't worry I will finish my other story REVIEW PLEASE!!

I couldn't believe it, I was finally coming home. I would be able to see Jake, Quil, Embry and Jared. They are all my friends from when I moved away two years ago. We lived in La Push and had been very close like family. My mum had cheated on my dad and had dragged me to Phoenix, I hadn't seen them since then, only talked to them on the phone.

I was so excited that I literally ran off the plane, grabbed my luggage and bounced on my toes scouting for my dad. When I finally saw him I shouted across the airport to him. " Daddy!" he turned and smiled and ran to me. I dropped my luggage and laughed as he picked me up and spun me around.

" Oh Bells it's great to see you again, I see you have grown quite a lot." he said as he put my back on my feet and gave me a good look. I laughed it was true, two years ago I was a small fifteen year old and now I was tall and my body was athletically toned. " Thanks I missed you so much"

we walked out of the airport and towards his car, " I missed you too, it hasn't been the same without you" he said with emotion as we headed home. I smiled, " So how is your mum?" he asked. I pushed the lump in my throat down. " Um... she is fine, her and Phil are still going strong" I said quietly, Charlie threw me an odd look but didn't ask me, which I was thankful for.

The rest of the way we caught up with each other, it was great being back and for once I felt safe. When we got back I ran straight inside, I gasped when two strong arms picked me up and spun me around. I screamed while the person just laughed. " aw Belly we missed you" said a very familiar voice.

He put me down and I screamed and launched myself back in his arms " Jakey, I missed you so much" he laughed and put me back down, I blushed when I looked up and saw he was only wearing shorts, and had a well toned body. Whew was it hot in here, or was it just me?

I looked up and saw lots of men that had similar bodies to Jake. " Hey bells" Quil, Jared and Embry said together. I screamed again and launched myself at them. The men in the room all laughed. " Aw guys I missed you" I said squeezing them tight in our miny group hug. "We missed you too"

I stepped back and saw my dad watching me with love shinning out his eyes, " so Bells these are the guys, Sam, Collin, Brady, Paul, Seth, Leah, Kim and of course you know those idiots" Jake said introducing me to them all. They all said there hellos. I looked at Sam last and I completely lost myself.

His eyes were a deep brown, as I stared at him I felt as if my world shifted, and all that mattered was that Sam could protect me. I forgot about the past, my surroundings, everything. Someone coughed and I turned to look at everyone. They were all either smiling or shocked.

" So what have I missed out?" I asked to break the silence. Jake laughed and pulled me onto his lap, I jumped when I heard what sounded like a growl coming from Sam. Everyone looked at him weirdly and I just looked at them confused.

Jake cleared his throat " Well, not much, as you can tell the group expanded and well that is pretty much it. So how come you moved back? Not that we don't mind" he laughed. I instantly stiffened as I remembered the feel of dirty hands on me, the shouting, the look of disgust. " You OK?" Jake asked worriedly feeling me tense. Everyone was looking at me weird.

I let out a breath and clenched my hands. "yeah" my voice was shaky, they all looked at me worriedly, especially Sam. " Um me and mum had a massive argument and she kicked me out" I said leaving out a huge part of it. I think most people knew I was keeping something but they didn't call me out on it.

" So you starting at high school on Monday?" Sam asked, his voice low and husky changing the subject.. I loved his voice, I could listen to it all day. " Yeah, what year you guys in?" I asked though mostly to the hotty across from me. " Collin and Brady are in Jr high and the rest are in your year, and I have just left" Sam said.

" Cool, well I am going to unpack, it was nice meeting you guys" I said as I walked out. As I walked up the stairs I stopped and listened to them talking.

" So Sam I see you imprinted on Bella" I heard dad say. Imprint what was that? " yeah, I did" Sam's husky voice replied. " Well I guess that we need a bonfire and explain everything to her." Jake said. " I'm glad we don't have to keep this away from her. And Sam if you ever hurt her I will kill you"

" I couldn't even if I tried" Sam said back with certainty. I walked the rest of the way to my room thinking over what they had just said. What was imprinting? And what did that have to do with me? I unpacked, today was Friday so I had the rest of the weekend to catch up with everyone. I fell asleep thinking of Sam.

I woke up to having ice water thrown over me.

I screamed and jumped out of bed. I saw all the guys there laughing at me Jake had the bucket. When he saw my face he immediately chucked it at Paul. " It wasn't me" he shouted quickly. I let out a growl and launched myself at him " JACOB BLACK YOU ARE SO DEAD" I pushed him on the floor and pinned him.

Everyone was laughing at our little show, " Guys help," Jacob pleaded. They all shook their heads laughing, I got up and made Jake follow me I pushed him in the bathroom and put the water on freezing. I pushed Jake and got Jared to hold the door. " Bella don't do this let me out, please I'm sorry" he pleaded. I noticed he wasn't shivering, that water had been freezing to me.

I frowned " isn't that cold?" I asked the confusion leaking into my tone. Everyone stiffened, but Jake quickly said "i-it is s-sssooo le-let meee o-ut" he stuttered. I smirked and let Jared open it " Remember Jakey pay back's a bitch, especially when dealing with me" I said as I turned and sauntered off to me room, leaving everyone behind me laughing.

I got dressed and changed my bedding and walked downstairs. " so what up with the rude awakening?" I asked sitting next to Sam on the couch. I felt heat come off him. " Woo you OK there Sam, your feeling hot" I said without thinking. " that is what she said" Jake laughed.

I rolled my eyes and looked at Sam again, but the moment our eyes met I felt that connection again. " anyway..." Jared started " we are having a bonfire tonight, you know telling old legends same old same old, you coming?" I smiled, remembering the ones we had before I left " Sure wouldn't miss it for the world." just as we started talking my phone rang.

I stiffened when I saw the number.

" Hello" I said my voice quiet.

" Bella" drawled Renee " so I see you made a safe landing, at least you can do something right." she sneered.

" What do you want?" I asked with venom. I felt Sam lift me up and put me in his lap. I instantly relaxed and leaned into him.

" is that any way to talk to your mother?" she spat.

" I believe you aren't my mother any more, not after you believed that bastard" I hissed. I noticed everyone watching me looking at me confused.

" don't talk to me with that tone" she hissed back

" I will talk to you any way I want" hissed.

" Well Phil wanted you to know that he will be visiting soon to sort I everything out, he felt bad for the way things ended." I stiffened again my hands started shaking. Sam started rubbing soothing circles in my back. I threw him a thankful look.

" Tell him no, I don't want to see him, I have a life here and he is not going to ruin it for me. As for the way he feels bad he should, it's all his fault and if you would just open your eyes you would know I was telling you the truth." I yelled.

" you got a life. Don't make me laugh. And it wasn't his fault, as for opening my eyes you did just that and showed me what a failure of a daughter you are." she hissed at me.

" Bella put it on loud speaker" Charlie said. I hadn't realised he was standing there until now. I put it on loud speaker.

" I am so glad you have gone back to your dads, so I don't have to see your face any more. Having you was the biggest mistake I had ever made" she yelled. Everyone gasped and looked at me, I felt the tears falling.

" Don't worry Renee, I won't ever see your face again, as for Phil, tell him if he ever steps into La Push I will kill him" I said with venom meaning every word.

I heard the phone being passed on to someone else. Phil's voice came on.

" Don't you think you have done enough damage to this family as it is? Why can't you just fuck off out of our lives? I am so glad you aren't my daughter, I probably would have killed myself than have to live with you as a disappointment." Phil hissed.

I hung up on him. Everyone was quiet watching me as I let the tears fall. Charlie came up to me and wiped away my tears. " Baby, what happened in Phoenix?" I shook my head. " Phil did something, he got caught and put the blame on me, Renee blew up and yelled shouting at me about how much she hated me and so on, she kicked me out. I'm glad she did though because I would have killed myself rather than live there any more." I whispered the last part.

They all looked at me with hurt expressions, Sam's was the worst, he looked like an abused puppy. I smiled at him letting him know I was over it, when in fact I was far from it. " what did he do?" Leah asked. I felt a tear slip as I remembered him touching me, calling me his whore, shouting that no one would want me after that. I shook my head clearing those thoughts " trust me when I say you don't want to know, I am going for a shower" I wanted to get the memory of his hands off my skin.

SAM POV

we had heard every single bit of that conversation thanks to our sensitive hearing. we sat there watching as my sweet Bella walked upstairs. " what do you think happened?" Seth asked Charlie. " I have no idea, but I know it has to be something big to make Renee talk to her like that." he whispered brokenly.

I couldn't believe her own mother had said that, I looked at Paul who was wiping at some tears. That was exactly what his mum had said before he phased, when his dad had moved on them. I felt so bad for my angel, I wish I could take all the pain away. We knew she was lying when she said she was over it, you could see the pain in her eyes.

" We have to make double sure now that she is part of our family no matter what" Leah said. We all looked at her shocked. Usually Leah was hostile to anyone she didn't know. "don't worry we will" I said meaning every word.

BPOV

I walked to the beach after my shower, I didn't want to see anyone. I sat on the sand and looked out at the sea. So many things had changed in just a short time, first Phil, then my mum, than coming here, then meeting the guys and now this strange pull I felt towards Sam.

I didn't realise how deep my thoughts were until I turned and noticed Sam was sitting watching me. I smiled at him " how long you been watching me?" I asked softly. He smiled and sat closer looking out to the sea when I did. " about an hour" he said. Wow I have been sitting here for well over an hour and a half.

"so we better get headed to the bonfire" Sam said after a while. He stood up and held out his hand. I smiled and took it, he pulled me up and kept hold of it as we walked down the beach. As we walked around a bend I saw the glow of the fire and the silhouettes of the guys. Sam sat next to me on a log and I looked around at everyone and smiled.

I stared into the fire, listening to everyone's banter, they were truly were a real family. I was knocked out my thoughts when Billy started speaking to me. " So Bella we have to explain a few things to you." I nodded and waited for him to go on.

" Well as you know we have legends of wolves, we need you to understand that they are true" Billy said in his deep voice, I looked in his eyes and saw nothing but sincerity in them. I looked at everyone and they were waiting for my reaction. I started to laugh but stopped when I saw that nobody was jumping up and saying 'fooled you'

"OK you can't be serious," I looked at them all again. I looked at my dad and he was looking at me with nothing but the truth in his eyes. I suddenly gasped. " your telling the truth." Billy nodded. "you also have to know that Sam imprinted on you" when he saw my confused expression he went on " imprinting is when a wolf finds his soul mate"

I looked at Sam who was carefully watching me. I suddenly laughed and he looked hurt " well that is good, at least I know I'm not just being a hormonal teenager" everyone joined in my laughing and Sam kissed my cheek. For a moment I stopped breathing and just stared at him.

I smiled and leaned in and kissed his lips, they were so smooth. It was as if my whole world shifted again, I didn't care any more about my life as long as Sam was there I knew I could survive.
