Jacob's True Imprint

LPOV

Leah Clearwater was taking one last look around her little apartment. "Well I guess it's time for me to quit

prolonging this, but I sure am going to miss living on my own." Not to mention she was dreading heading back to

La Push but she knew it was the only place she could get the answers she needed. The love of her life had left

her for her cousin, and they are now engaged. She quickly shakes the thought from her head and takes one last

look before leaving her new life behind for good.

I was sitting on the steps thinking about how my life had drastically changed in the course of a few years. The

hold that Bella once had on my heart was replaced by my imprint which happened to be her daughter. I watch as

Renesmee is helping her aunts Alice and Rosalie take shopping bags out of the car. "Nessie do you need any help

with those?" I ask. "No, Jacob just sit there and watch me struggle with them!" she yells at me. Lately that has

been her attitude. I try not to let it bother me and just figure it is her version of hitting puberty. I get up and

grab the bags taking them into the house and up to her room. I sit on the bed and watch her put the clothes

away. Finally realizing how many bags there really are I try to lighten the tension with a joke. "Umm.. Nessie did

you leave any clothes at the mall or will people now have to shop from your closet?" I chuckle when I hear a hiss

from down the hall. I guess Alice didn't like my joke. Apparently neither did Renesmee. "Jacob why don't you go

hang out in La Push with the pack today. I have a lot to do and really won't be any company for you." She turned

around and kept putting the clothes away. I started to protest but the look she gave when I walked up to her told

me that I should just do as she asks. "Ok. I need to talk to Sam about some things anyway." I turn to walk away

but then I turn back towards her. "Nessie are you okay? I mean did I do something to upset you that I don't

know about?" She turns and glares at me. "Jacob look I'm not in the mood to play games with you right now. I

have a lot on my mind lately and your hovering just doesn't help. Is that a good enough reason for you?" I just

stand there looking at her wondering where this is coming from, because she never talks to anyone especially me

this way. "Bye Nessie." Is all I can manage to get out before running out of the house. Phasing as I jump off the

porch I take off into the forest. Millions of thoughts are running through my head. Maybe I should talk to Carlisle

about how she has been acting or Edward. They may be the only ones that can shed a little light on what may be

bothering Nessie.

I get to the reservation in no time. Once I reach my house I phase back and jump through my bedroom window.

Putting on jean shorts I walk back outside. I decide to do some work on the rabbit thinking it will take my mind

off of what could be wrong with my girlfriend. I had been working on the car for about two hours before I heard

footsteps. I sniffed the air and knew that it was Sam and Paul. "Hey guys." I greet them before seeing them walk

through the door."Hey Jake. How you been?" Sam asks. He has a look on his face that tells me he has something

on his mind. "I'm ok. What's on your mind Sam? You look like you have something you want to talk to me

about." Sam looks over at Paul and then back at me. Paul turns and walks off leaving us to talk. "Well Jake I've

been told that Leah is on her way back to La Push. She has some questions that she wants to ask and I think

they have something to do with the pack. Sue says that Leah has noticed that her body is hot but she feels fine

and when she gets mad she starts shaking. Sue told her to come home and not to go to a doctor because they

can't help her." I just sit there listening with my mouth open. There has never been a girl wolf in the pack. Well it

looks like the imprinting thing isn't the only thing our ancestors got a little wrong. Then again maybe they just

didn't know it was a possibility. Oh well. "Sam when is she supposed to be arriving and why do you look so

worried?" He took a deep breath before saying "Well given our history if she is turning into one of us I was

wondering if you could help ease her into things. I don't think I should be the one to do it. I know that I hurt her

pretty bad when I left her because I imprinted on her cousin. Emily and I feel really bad about hurting her but

you know we can't help who we imprint on." Staring at him I think about what he is asking me to do. "Yeah I

guess I could try to help her. Let me know when she gets here and we can all meet up and discuss the best way

to handle this situation." He thanks me and walks off heading back to his home. I don't know why I agreed to

help Leah. She has been in a bad mood ever since she and Sam split up. Nobody really wants to deal with her

because it seemed like anything set her off. My day couldn't possibly get any worse.

Ugh! Why can't he just leave me alone? I honestly don't know why I have been so mean to him lately. It scares

me and that makes me even meaner towards him. I remember when being away from him would make me feel like I

was suffocating and now I can't wait for him to go away. I just can't understand it. It feels like my feelings are

fading away. Is that even possible? Maybe I should talk to Billy about this imprinting thing and how it really

works. Sam and Emily might be better to talk to about it than Billy seeing as how they are an imprinted couple.

I'm going to call them after lunch and see if they will talk to me. "Nessie!" Why does she have to yell? This is a

house full of vampires with super hearing and yet my aunt Alice still feels the need to yell. " What!" I yell back

irritated. She knows that I hate it when she does that. " I need you to go with me to the mall later." I walk out of

my room and meet her downstairs. " More shopping? Don't you think we got enough earlier?" She just looked at

me like I had said the dumbest thing on earth. " There is no such thing as too much shopping. I swear sometimes

you act as bad as your mother when it comes to shopping, but you do have better taste in clothes so I can

excuse you." I hear a light chuckle from my father and then my mother shouts "Hey!" I just roll my eyes. I run

towards my mom and dad and sit between them on the couch. Dad was reading the paper so I leaned my head

on my mother's shoulder and she gently rubbed my head. "What's wrong baby?" she asks me. I just sigh. She

stops rubbing my head and lifts it up so that she can see my face. " Baby what is it? Are you sick?" she looks

worried now and that makes me feel bad. Now my dad is watching us. I look from one to the other not really

knowing how to start this conversation. "Well its Jacob, or should I say its more my feelings for him." My mother

just looks at me until I continue talking. My dad gets up kissing me and my mom on the forehead saying that he

is going to let us talk then tells me he loves me and runs out the door.

"Mom I'm worried that my feelings for Jake are fading. I don't feel the same way about him anymore. I see him

as more of a nuisance than anything and I get mad at him for no apparent reason." She looks at me with a

strange look on her face. Sort of a cross between worried and confusion. "Baby do you still love him? I don't

exactly understand how that whole imprinting thing works. The way he explained it to me it was a forever

kind of thing, but if the connection you once had is starting to fade then maybe you should talk to someone on

the reservation about it. They will know more I'm sure than I do." I sighed again and buried my head in her

chest. I wished that things would just go back to normal but it doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime

soon.
