AN: My new Embry and Bella Imprint story. It's not like the Twilight book or movie – but might have some Twilight background and scenes but no Edward or the Cullen.

Song: Breathe by Taylor Swift

And we know it's never simple, never easy

Never a clean break, no one here to save me, oh

I can't breathe

Without you, but I have to

Breathe

Without you, but I have to

Breathe

Without you, but I have to

Declaimer: iown nothing.

Chapter 1

Losing Embry Call

Losing your crush of the century to the hall monitors is like the world ending – to me anyway.

"Bella? Have you heard?" Seth's soft voice asked me as I stepped out of school.

"Yeah." I whispered him. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes. I blinked fast so my baby brother couldn't see how hurt I was, inside and out. I quickly walked to my car and opened the door, shoving my bag inside. I sat on the driver's seat and turned the car on.

"Are you okay?" Seth asked me, standing next to my car.

I slowly nodded, "Yeah." I lied. Seth didn't believe me. He knew me so well.

Just like he knew me so well.

I closed my eyes as the thought unwillingly came into my head. He knew me so well, like he was my other half, and I was his.

"Bella, I think –"

"Just give me time Seth. I'll be at first beach." I told him as I drove away from school, tears freely running down my face.

~~~Only In The Past~~~

"Hey Jake. Hey Quil" I said to him as I sat on table in the cafeteria.

He nodded as a greeting, the same as Quil. That was new, normally Jacob and Quil would actually say hi and Jacob would call me Bells, and Quil would call me Hells Bells, not just nod at me.

"What's up?" I asked them.

"Nothing." Quil mumbled, finding the floor very interesting.

"Really now?" I asked, irritated. "What's really going on?" I asked them again.

"Just look." Jacob muttered, nodding to the opposite direction of the cafeteria.

I followed his gaze and saw Paul Lahote and Jared Cameron on their table. But really shocked me was that Embry Call was sitting with them. What broke my heart was that he wasn't fighting or arguing with them, he was actually talking at them, laughing and smiling.

"Embry?" I whispered to myself, in total confusion. But Paul heard. He nudged Embry and nodded to me. Embry looked from the corner of his eye at me, then turned back to Paul, saying something that made him laugh and made Jared shake his head.

At that second, my heart broken into a million pieces. At that second my head started to spin with thoughts and broken dreams. At that second, my whole being began to fall. At that second, my whole love and desire for Embry vanished quickly as it came. At that second, all those promises he made to me broke. At that second, my life lost light. At that second, I had lost my sun.

I looked back at Jacob and Quil, my heart full of hurt and betrayal. They were looking at the table, eyes glassed with tears. They too lost their best friend.

"How?" I asked them quietly.

They both shook their heads, not knowing the answer.

"Just let it go Bella." Jacob muttered to me, eyes casted to Embry then to the table.

Just let it go? Just let it go! What did he mean by letting it go? By letting Embry go?

I wanted to shout at him, to yell at him, to throw food at him or anything that could get Jacob back to his senses. I wanted him to understand that I couldn't lose Embry. I wanted him to go up to him and confront him, but … He couldn't and he wouldn't. He wouldn't because he knows we lost Embry to them … To Sam Uley – the so called cult leader, the drug dealer, the whatever. I don't know or care what Sam Uley and his minions are. All I know is that I lost my best friend and probably my crush to him and the two idiots sitting with him.

I banged my hand to the table, furiously shaking my head at Jacob and Quil, but they just stayed silent, staring at nothing but the floor.

"Ugh!" I shouted at them as everyone in the cafeteria stared at me. I flipped them off as I grabbed my bag. With one last glare towards Jacob and Quil, and one last longing look at Embry, I all but walked away from them, from what I had once.

~~~Only In The Past~~~

"Stupid hall monitors." I said to myself as I threw a rock to the sea. It didn't really jump as I wanted but it's good enough. It let all my anger out – kind of anyway. "Stupid Sam Uley. Him and his stupid cult and his stupid problems. Stupid Embry for following him like a lost puppy he really is. Stupid Jacob and Embry for not fighting their butts off for Embry. Stupid, crappy day." I threw more stones at the sea, saying more stupid this and that's.

"No wonder why all the rocks are missing, little miss fire 'ere been throwin' 'em far." A voice said behind me.

"If only she can throw 'em far enough." Another voice said.

"What do you want Jacob, Quil?" I asked them, irritated. Yeah, I didn't forget what you did, you suckers. I thought to them.

"We're 'ere to say sorry." Quil said, sitting next to me, putting his arm around my shoulders. I shrugged them off, crossing my arms, while resting my chin on them.

"We really are sorry Bells." Jacob said to me, also sitting next to me.

I ignored them, throwing more stones. Jacob and Quil stayed quiet, letting me think, as well for themselves.

I started to hum a song on top of my head, while drawing on the sand. I cracked a smile as Quil sang the lyrics with his so amazing voice. I then started laughing when Jacob made a horrible beat.

"Nice beat Jake." I told him, sarcastically.

"Thanks Bells." He said, continuing his beat.

I soon threw a rock at him to stop him.

"Aw!" He yelped. "That hurt Bells." He pouted.

"Really?" I asked him sweetly. He nodded. "Then so will this!" I yelled out and attacked him. I laughed as we rolled around the sand. Jake started to tickle me and I kept begging for mercy.

"I wanna join!" Embry yelled out, tickling me as well.

"Guys!" I yelped at them, laughing until there were tears running down my eyes.

"Ah." Someone coughed.

I pushed Jake and Quil off me as I saw Sam Uley and his minions behind him. I casted my eyes down at the sand, not wanting to see Embry's beautiful face. I scowled myself. Embry's not beautiful! He's the enemy now!

"You need some water?" I muttered to Sam, half hoping he would hear and half not. Jake and Quil coughed to cover their laughter.

"Do you?" Sam retorted back.

I flicked my hair out of my eyes and narrowed my eyes to Sam. "No. I don't." I told him sweetly. What I wanted to say was fuck you Uley or go to hell – thatwould have worked well. But no. I just had a plastic smile on my face.

"Um …" Jake said, practically feeling the tense – you can even smelling it in the air.

"I've got homework." I told him, getting my bag.

"When do you do homework Isa?" A deep voice said. That deep voice was Embry Calls. I bit back my gasp at his sudden change of appearance and voice and the way my old nick name that he made still sounded amazing - rolling from his tongue to my ears. I didn't notice that or anything else at first but Embry's gotten fitter, hotter even. My eyes travelled to his body – finding out that he has a new six pack, ripped muscles and beautiful toned abs - to his face, but not clearly looking at his eyes. I didn't want to see my ex best friend's muddy brown eyes which held to much love for me once.

I cleared my throat, saying, "People change. You could see for yourself Call." I stood up, saying to Jake and Embry, "I've got my car, see ya in school tomorrow."

~~~Only In The Past~~~

"I'm okay mum, really, I am." I said to my mum as she hugged and kissed me. I guess news travel fast in a small town.

"Are you sure baby?" She rubbed my cheeks as if I was a baby.

"I'm fine –"

"But I heard –"

"She said she was fine Sue." Dad interrupted mum, giving her a pointed look. I wonder what that's all about.

"But – Oh okay, if you say so Isabella."

"Mum!" I whined. "I told you to call me Bella."

"Now, now Isobel." Mum warned, jokingly.

"I'd rather have Isabella then Isobel." I muttered out.

"What did you say young lady?" Mum asked, spatula in hand, pointing to my face. To say that I was scared of mama bear was an understatement.

"Absolutely nothing mother." I told her with my innocent voice and face.

Seth sniggered beside me.

"That's good. Now make the table."

"But –"

"Now."

"Okay." I huffed out. Again Seth sniggered.

"Seth, your helping." Mum told him, turning the oven on.

"Sucker." I told him while he pointed his tongue at me. I did the same.

"Hello Clearwater's!" I heard Quil's loud voice echo through my house. He made his way through my kitchen and sat on the table chair. "Just in time for some grub." He said, rubbing his hands together.

"What the potatoes are you doing 'ere Quil?" I asked him.

He held up his finger, "One, delivery." Held up his other finger, "Two –" Quil gave me a smirk that really made me want to slap off. "You owe me and Jakey boy."

I crossed my arms, "For what?"

His smirk widened, "You left me and Jake with the enemy."

"Yeah, thanks for that." Jake said, coming into the kitchen with Leah slung over his shoulder. "Oh and your sister is the delivery by the way."

"What happened?" Mum asked, worried for her sleepy oldest daughter.

"She got drunk on first beach." Jake gave me a pointed look, "Should've known Leah was there anyway but she saw Uley she started thrashing around."

"It's always Uley, eh?" I asked no one in particular.

"Get her to bed Jake, and thanks." Mum told him. "After that you guys can eat here."

"Thanks auntie." Quil said. I smacked his head with mum's spatula. "Aw!"

"Good." I told him.

Some dinner was set, Quil mouthed all the food. I stared in horror and disgust.

"Wedofgocineba." Quil said incorrectly as he munched on some chicken.

"What?" Me and Jacob asked together.

Quil swallowed and said, "We should go cinema."

Jacob shrugged and said, "Sure, sure."

"Fine, fine." I mimicked Jacob's words, grinning at him. He threw a chicken at me, then I threw a potato at him. Then the food fight started, but mum ended it after telling us off and made us clean the whole thing.

Love it? Hate? Wanna review it?
