Disclaimer: Nope don't own twilight or any of the characters because let's face it, if I did Bella would have ended up with a wolf instead of a sparkly ass vampire.

It's been two years since that leech left my Bells alone in the woods. After months of her in zombie land Bella finally came back to us, well to me actually. During the past two years we have gotten closer but not as close as I would like. I love Bella more than anything but she still insists that she just wants to be friends. If I had just imprinted on her things would be so much easier, she would feel that pull towards me and would have given in by now, but nope that didn't happen.

After begging her for two weeks I finally talked her into going to the Valentine's Day dance that was being held on the res this year. She didn't want to come for a couple of reasons. One being she doesn't dance because she's klutzy. Two being it's a Valentine's Day dance which is the quote day of love. So I know she didn't want to come with me because of that. I guilted her into it though, told her all the pack was required to go and if I didn't have a date the guys would tease me horribly. What I didn't tell her was that only the guys that had imprints had actual dates, the rest of them were going to try to pick up chicks at the dance. Well all of them except Embry, but Em has never been cool around girls. He's just too damn shy.

All the girls were getting ready at Sam and Emily's house so I was going to pick Bells up there. The rest of the guys who didn't have dates were meeting us at the dance hall. I was waiting downstairs in the living room when Bella came down the stairs. I had never seen her look more beautiful in my life. The dark green dress she was wearing fit her like a glove. She was showing off more skin than I had ever seen since the dress was knee length and sleeveless. She was even wearing heels which of course scared the hell out of me; this is Bella we are talking about here.

I walk over to her and helped her the rest of the way down the stairs. "You look beautiful Bells." I said as I placed her corsage on her wrist.

"Thanks Jake, you look pretty good yourself." Bella said back, her face flushing.

"Alright you two it's time to go." Emily called from her spot next to Sam. I hadn't even noticed her and Kim come down the stairs my mind was too busy being distracted by Bella.

Sam and Jared both laughed at the look of surprise on my face when I realized that they were all waiting on us. Bella of course just blushed more.

Once we arrived at the dance we found the table that the others had taken spots at. I sat with Bella for a little while trying to get her to dance with me but she wouldn't. Seth was the one that finally got her to get out on the dance floor. After he finished dancing with her I took a turn to spin her around the floor.

"You lied to me Jake." Bella whispered while we were dancing.

"No I didn't, the guys would have teased me if I showed up alone because they know I wouldn't try to pick up a chick here." I replied with a grin.

"You still made me think that everybody else had dates." She insisted.

"Oh come on Bells you can't tell me you aren't having fun." I teased.

"Fine Black, but next time don't lie to me." She whispered with a slight grin on her face.

After the song ended one of my other brothers took my place. Throughout the whole evening Bella danced with all of the guys, even Paul danced with her once. He was whispering to her low enough that I couldn't hear him, but I knew by the blush on Bella's face that he was being his usual perverted self. Bella danced the same with all of them, like they were her brothers and friends. It hurt a little to realize she danced with me the same way. It wasn't until the last dance of the night that he asked her to dance.

Even from the distance I was at I could hear the sharp intake of breath and her heart rate pick up. The slight flush on her cheeks as she took his hand. He led her onto the dance floor with his hand on the small of her back. I didn't even know he knew how to dance like that. He guided her around effortlessly. I had never seen Bella look so graceful, ever. It was like her feet never even touched the ground. The way they glided across the floor. And then I saw the looks on their faces. I had never seen that look on either of their faces before. Not even when Bella was with the leech did she look so in love.

My heart hurt as that last thought crossed my mind. Bella was in love with him. And he was in love with her. He was looking at her like she was the sun, moon, and stars. Shit she was his imprint. She will never be my Bella now. The only thing I didn't understand was how none of us could have known. How could we have not seen this? Oh but we all see it now. Every single one of us were standing on the side of the dance floor watching the couple as they danced, neither of them aware of the fact that they were the only ones on the floor now. And then as the song came to an end, my heart broke even more as he leaned down and kissed her softly.

"I love you Bella." I heard him whisper after they broke apart both blushing slightly.

"I love you too Embry."

With those words I left. I was happy for them, I really was. They both deserved to be loved. I just wish that Bella could have been mine. I had always loved her. Without thinking about it I made my way to first beach to our spot, I wanted to be alone. Only problem was there was someone there. I looked the girl over, she was pretty but she wasn't Bella. It wasn't until she heard me and lifted her face did I realize how beautiful she was. My breath caught as my eyes met hers. The world stopped spinning. Gravity no longer held me to this earth, this beautiful stranger did. I had just imprinted.

"Hi I'm Jacob." I said to the beauty looking at me in awe.

"Angela" the dark haired beauty replied with a small smile.
