AN: Here it is, a start of a Jacob and Nessie story! If I continue this story, I have no idea how long it will be, but I think I have at least few chapters in store for you!

This fic is a spin-off from my first story 'Blossoming', I've tried to summarize everything you need to know into the first chapter. Should you be interested in continuing reading this story, but in need of some more info, you can send me a message, or read the first few chapters of my first fic ;)

Prologue

~*~

POV: Jacob

~*~

This was horrible, not at all what I had expected to happen, of course she would be mad, but normally she would have forgiven me before the 24 hours were out. This time she was really holding on, she had stormed of the night of the bonfire, were she had heard the legend about imprinting for the first time.

She and Nadira, Embry's imprint had demanded to know why the wolves felt so strongly about their women. Embry was more nervous than I was, Nadira had only been on LaPush for a few months, she was the foster child of Leah and Tom.

Her and Nessie had become best friends, which I considered a good thing, Nadira was nothing like Nessie, but turned out to be a good friend. What I didn't take into account was that Nessie would be spending more time around Tom and Leah, as imprint couple they acted slightly different than let's say a regular couple.

We had all been very glad when Tom arrived and turned out to be a perfect match for Leah, her bitterness and anger slowly faded, the Leah we used to know gradually came back to us. Since she couldn't bear children, they decided to look into other options, that's how Nadira a 16 year old girl, with a lot of baggage ended up with them.

The girls, neither of them particularly stupid, had put two and two together soon enough, so decided to ask us for an explanation. That led us to that dreadful night, where Sam had told some legends, including the one about imprinting, wincing I thought back to that night.

"You're really something Jacob Black!" oh shit, she never used my full name, this couldn't be good.

"I'm sorry Nessie" I apologized.

"Oh that's really great Jake, you're lying to me my whole life, and you say you're sorry!?" anger flashed in her eyes, god she was beautiful when she was angry, focus Jake, she's mad at you!

"Nessie, you're overreacting, it's not that bad" I tried to joke. Big mistake, huge, if she were a wolf, she would have exploded by now, she was shaking with anger.

"Excuse me!" careful now Jake.

"No, what I meant was…" yeah, what did you mean Jake, I'm pretty sure you just said it.

"What Jake, what?! Are you saying it's ok for me to get used to having you around, you always being there for me, for almost six years, with the risk that you might not care about me at all someday?"

"No, Ness-" she cut me off.

"Because I certainly don't think it's noting! What if you imprint tomorrow Jake, I would need you, but you wouldn't be there, because of some slut who caught your eye!"

"Now, Nessie y-" again she didn't let me finish.

"Shut up Jake, it's so selfish of you to do this to me, you should never have let me love you the way that you did, you should never have filled my head with false promises! Or have you forgotten that you promised to marry me, always when I asked you as a little girl you told me the same thing, if I was old enough and I still wanted to marry you I could" tears were rolling down her face now.

"You promised, even though you knew it would never happen, what if I would want to marry you someday, what would you do then Jake?" her screaming had turned into sobbing, I can't believe she remembered that.

"Ness…" but the words wouldn't come.

"Take me home Jake, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" and how she had meant that, when I tried to say something to her on the way back, she told me she didn't want to hear anything I had to say, her being my imprint, made it impossible for me not to honor her request.

That was how that night went, she hadn't taken any of my calls, refused to be in my presence whenever I came over, even Bella and Edward persuading techniques had no effect.

Now my birthday was coming up, she wouldn't be there, she had been there with me at my last five birthdays and now she'd left me, literally. I refused to celebrate without her, I told Embry this and he begged me not to cancel, to wait just a little while longer.

He promised me that I didn't have to attend if she wouldn't show up Saturday, because he was sure she would, that she wouldn't be able to stay away. How he came to that ridiculous conclusion, I had no idea, she was able to stay away now, why not then?

Then my phone rang, I didn't want to talk to anybody, but it could be Sam, he wasn't phasing anymore, so he had to use the phone now. When I grabbed the noisy thing, I turned it to see who it was, my heart almost stopped when I saw Nessie's name flicker across the screen.

"H-Hello?" I was so afraid it would be Nadira, using Nessie's phone or something stupid like that, not wanting to give in to the hope bubbling its way up to the surface, that it would be Nessie calling me.

"Jake?" it was her! Nessie was calling me!

"Nessie! Oh god, I'm so glad you called, I miss you so much! Please give me a chance to explain myself, I need to tell you so much!" breathe Jake, breathe.

"Yeah Jake, I miss you to" she sighed "you're right we should talk, but not right now, at your party ok?" at least she was coming, it was something.

"Ok Ness, but promise me that we will talk" I needed to be sure.

"Bye Jake"
