Why Can't I?

Prologue

Paul Walker has always been my best friend, ever since my dad and I moved here. We lived next door to each other and were in the same class all through elementary and middle school. High school came and we were split up. Even though we had different classes, we still remained best friends. Our junior year, he had a major growth spurt. His temperature increased and he was quick to anger. I was worried about him. He disappeared for almost a month and when he came back he started hanging out with Sam Uley. He tried to push me away, but he failed. I confronted Sam about it and he finally told Paul to start hanging out with me again. I felt bad about it though. I didn't want Paul to hang out with me if he didn't want too. Paul reassured me I was over reacting and he really did want to be my best friend again.

A few weeks later, Embry Call changed, just like Paul did. He, too, pushed away his best friends and hung out with Sam, Jared Reese and Paul. Shortly after that, Jacob Black and Quil Ateara changed too. Then Seth and Leah Clearwater, Brady Reese and Collin Jackson changed too. It was really weird. There must be something in the water here. How else would it explain the sudden changes? I told my dad my theory, but he laughed it off, saying nothing was in the water and I would understand soon. I get the feeling everyone is hiding something from me, including my dad and Paul.

Paul, Jared and I would be starting out senior year this year. I couldn't wait to go to college and live on my own. I wanted to go to Duke or UNC. Both had excellent medical schools. I wanted to go back to the state I was born in, where my mother is. She had gone to UNC and my dad had gone to NC State. They had met at a keg party, thanks to some mutual friends. She was majoring in biology, while dad was working through pre-med. I really miss her.

Paul's friends, Sam Uley and Emily Young hosted a back to school bon fire a week before we started back. As Paul's friend, Emily insisted I come too. I joined in on the fun. We played volleyball and the guys' cliff dived. I almost went with them, but Emily, Kim Baker, and Claire Young made me stay with them. They began to pester me about my relationship with Paul. They seriously thought we were dating. I sighed and explained our friendship. They were disappointed. Everyone who asked me about Paul always was. Is it really weird to have a guy as a best friend, but not to date him? It seems like everyone wants Paul and I to date, even my dad and his mom were in on it. Those two were the worst. I seriously think they already have the wedding planned. I saw my dad reading a wedding magazine a few days ago. I told the girls this, which caused them to laugh. They all shared a knowing look, which added to my idea of everyone was hiding something from me.

"Hey Embry! We're up here!" Seth Clearwater yelled, from the top of the cliff.

"I'll be up there in a minute." Embry Call yelled back, turning to us.

"Emily, when will the food be ready?" He asked, looking hungry.

"In a little bit. Sue, Billy and Leah are bringing it down soon." Emily replied, smiling.

He looked relived. I giggled and he looked at me.

Embry Call

She had laughed at me. Normally, it would've bothered me, but her laugh sounded like music to my ears. I turned to look at her. Our eyes met and my whole world shifted. I felt the bonds holding me to this earth break and reattach themselves to her.I would do anything for this girl. She was my life now. Her hazel eyes were full of humor. They were a soft mixture of green and brown, which was now my favorite color. I could hear the guys calling me. I didn't want to leave this perfect creature. She smiled at me and I just melted. She was beautiful when she smiled. Her smile quickly turned to a frown, as someone, a pack member, approached us. I growled soft enough so she wouldn't hear, but the wolf would. He had made her sad. He would pay.

"Embry, we're going hiking in the forest. Come on." Sam said, pulling my arm, leading me away from my angel.

"Mia, stay here with the girls. We'll be back by dinner." Paul said, smiling at her.

"Alright, Paul, but you have to take me cliff diving soon." Mia said, causing me to panic.

Oh shit! I just imprinted on Paul's imprint! Wait…how the hell is that even possible?!?! Paul's going to kill me for this! We all know how much he loves her, he loved her even before he phased. I'm about to die a horrible and painful death, I just know it.

Paul Walker

That piece of shit! I'm going to rip him apart limb by limb! How dare he go and imprint on her! I never should've brought her with me, but everyone thought I had imprinted on her. I didn't, but I wanted to. She's my best friend and I love her more than she would ever know. I was trying to gather my courage to ask her out tonight. Silly, yes, but I didn't want to screw it up and have her dad after me with a shot gun, though I doubt he would come after me. After all, he and my mom already have the wedding planned, a house picked out and a list of suitable baby names picked out. I want to share that with her, but now, I can't, thanks to Embry Call.

Sam dragged him in the forest at the base of the cliffs. We walked in far enough, so the girls wouldn't see or hear us, just in case things got out of hand, which they would. "Sam, I thought Paul already imprinted on Mia." Seth said, trying to avoid my glare.

"So did I. Embry, don't do anything stupid. Paul will kill you if something happens to her. We need to tread carefully around this. None of the legends mentioned anything about a double imprint." Sam said.

"I didn't imprint on Mia. I thought I did. I just couldn't stand ignoring her like I did. She's my best friend and she only has me. She doesn't have any other friends." Paul said, quietly.

Sam sighed in annoyance. "Paul, it's alright. Just come to me or Jared the next time you think you imprinted. That goes for all of you." Sam said.

"How the hell did you manage to keep that to your self for a year?" Jared asked, looking a bit shocked.

Hell, they all were shocked. I wasn't good at keeping my thoughts to my self. "I just kept her away from the pack." I said, shrugging.

Suddenly the smell of burgers and hot dogs wafted our way. We all froze, then ran for the beach. Seth, Collin and Brady were pushing each other out of the way. I rolled my eyes at them. Stupid sophomores. They're always causing problems. As we neared the beach, we could see the girls eating. "Hey, Mia." I said, grabbing a chip off of her plate.

She glared at me and growled. The entire pack and the imprints froze. "Paul, how long have you known me? You know better." She said her voice full of anger.

"Sorry, Mia. I won't do it again." I replied, rolling my eyes at her.

"What the hell was that?" Seth asked, looking at the two of us.

I noticed Embry was glaring at me. "Mia hates it when anyone steals food off of her plate." I explained and everyone relaxed.

Throughout dinner, I watched Embry, who was torn between watching me and watching Mia. I really needed to have a talk with him. He needed to know how Mia was to be treated. If he hurt her, I would kill him myself.

Mia Carter

I couldn't help but to look at Embry. He wasn't bad looking, so it was hard for me to pay attention to Paul. I felt bad about that, but what girl could concentrate when there was a hot guy in front of them? I noticed he kept staring at me, but would occasionally glance at Paul, as if he was making sure he wasn't touching me. After the fifth time Paul hugged me, Embry snuck off into the woods. I wanted to follow him, but it was dark and I would have gotten lost. I just hoped he didn't meet up with anything deadly in there.
