Yay i've got a new story. Another JacobxOC one. The events from Breaking Dawn haven't happened in this story except for Pauls imprinting. And it's like 3 years in the future. Tell me whatcha think. The title Lean On Me might be changed though.
"Kim really what you're doing is amazing. I really can't impose."
"Oh please stop it already. You're staying with me and that's final. Now help me with these boxes," she said. I rolled my eyes and grabbed a few. She really was amazing. She was doing so much for me. I was extremely grateful.
"Kim seriously thank you. You don't even understand what this means to me," I said shoving the boxes into the trunk. "No problem. It's the least I can do," she said smiling sympathetically. "Well then that's it. Let's go," she said climbing into the car.
I followed her and started he car. I don't think she'd ever understand what she was doing for me. I just couldn't go back home. Not now. Not after I was doing so well. Being there would ruin my progress. Everyone would understand eventually. I just needed to stay far away for a while.
"Hey Soleil you alright?" Kim asked. "Hmm yeah. Why?" "You looked a little lost." "Oh yeah just daydreaming I explained. "Well keep your eyes on the road," she warned smiling. I nodded. Right. The road.

"Alright this one here," Kim said pointing to a small house. It looked basically the same as all the other ones on the block. Although the flowers out front were very pretty. "Wow I like the flowers," I said smiling. "Thank. Tell my mom she'll be so excited," she said smiling. We both got out of the car and she walked up to the front door.
"We're here!" she shouted into the house. A small woman and a man came from around the corner. "Kim," the lady said smiling. "Hi mom and dad," she said hugging them. Then a rather large boy came into view. My eyes widened at his size.
I assumed that was Jared. I'd heard so much about him and saw pictures but I never expected this. He pulled her into a big hug and held her tight. Aww how cute. Finally he let her go and she introduced me. I was getting a little tired of standing there awkwardly.
"Mom, dad, Jared. This is my very good friend Soleil," she said motioning towards me. Ugh I hated meeting new people. "Hi," I said nervously. "Hello sweetheart, I'm Lily and this is my husband Will," she said smiling at me. "Hi, thank you so much for letting me stay. You really don't know what this means to me," I said shaking there hands.
"No no any friend of Kim's is a friend of ours." I smiled. They seemed like genuinely nice people. "Hi I'm Soleil," I said holding my hand out to Jared. "Jared," he said shaking it then letting go quickly. Wow he had hot hands. "Uh alright let's go," he said. "You guys are leaving?" I asked.
"You're going too Soleil," she said to me. "But I haven't even unpacked and settled yet," I said unsurely. I knew living with Kim meant I'd have to meet her friends, but did that have to happen the first day I got here? "You've gotta meet the guys," Jared said heading for the door. "We'll take your bags to your room," Lily said. "Oh thank you," I said smiling as I was dragged out by Kim.
I slouched in the back seat and complained in my head. Come on Kim you know me to well for this.

"Alright you'll be fine," Kim said patting me on the back. "Right," I muttered. We walked up to the house and just went inside. Guess they were all that close. Which was gonna make it that much harder for me to fit in.
"Hey," Jared said standing in front of a very large group of guys. Large shirtless guys. Great. "This is Soleil," Kim said smiling. I looked at all their faces smiling. One face seemed a little more…special than the others though.
"Hi," I said shifting from foot to foot awkwardly. They all introduced themselves and I found out that the special boy was named Jacob. "Soleil? Like Cirque du Soleil?" Emily asked. I noticed her face. I wondered how that happened. "Uhm no, my mother just likes the name Soleil," I said shrugging.
I felt kinda weird. Kinda like I was being stared at. I tried to look around without them noticing. I locked eyes with Jacob. Yeah, he was staring at me. I blushed and looked away nervously. Everyone was talking happily but I could still kinda feel Jacob's gaze. The look he had on his eyes when looking at me was….strange.
"So you're staying for the whole summer?" Quil asked. "Yeah until me and Kim have to go back to school," I said quietly. "Why do you need a place to stay the whole summer?" the one named Paul asked. I froze. "Uhm-" "That's not really your business," Jacob said somewhat angrily.
All the guys…and Leah gave him a weird look. So did I. I was grateful for that but it was a little on the odd side seeing as the most I'd said to him was hi. I heard someone mutter Oh Boy under their breath. Oh boy what? Sam gave Emily a look and she looked surprised.
"Hey Kim and Soleil wanna help me with dinner?" she said walking to the kitchen. "Of course," I said hurrying behind her with Kim following.
"Alright Soleil why don't you chop up those tomatoes for me," Emily said. "Sure thing." I began chopping the tomatoes and tried not to talk to much. It was kinda weird. They were all nice people but I didn't really know them.

We were all eating dinner. Spaghetti. "So Soleil do you have any brothers and sisters?" Sam asked. I froze again. Kim gave me a sympathetic look. Pull yourself together Soleil. Do not fall apart. Be strong. "Uh yeah, I have a older brother and younger sister."
"What are their names?" Embry asked. I flinched inwardly. "Cain and Cecilia," I said. "Oh those are nice names," Emily said. She was very nice. I could tell she was trying hard to make me feel comfortable. "Soleil has a full scholarship," Kim said out of the blue. She was bragging.
"Oh really that's wonderful. What kind?" Emily asked. "Academic," I said shyly. Paul snickered. "Nerd." It didn't really bother me. I'd heard that many times. Jacob on the other hand didn't look to pleased. He punched Paul right in the face. I heard bones breaking. Ouch.
"Jake," Sam said rubbing his forehead. Everyone seemed pretty calm. Was I the only one a little worried. "Is everyone just gonna ignore the fact that he just him," I said pointing them out. "We're gonna try," Kim said. Right. Okay then. "I think you broke his nose," I said to Jacob. "He'll be fine," he said angrily.
He popped it back into place. Ew. "Maybe he should go to the doctor. You know just in case," I suggested. Everyone looked at me strangely. "I'm surprised you wanna help him after he insulted you," Quil said. "Nahh that wasn't a big deal, it's not like I've never heard that one," I said rolling my eyes.
"You should apologize," Jacob said to Paul. Paul grimaced then muttered, "Sorry." "Like I said it's alright," I said shrugging my shoulders. "But thank you," I said to Jacob. He smiled. Wow he was hot. Whoa stop thinking those things Soleil.
I smiled back. We looked…no gazed at each other smiling until Kim cleared her throat. I jumped a little and blushed. Way to make an impression. She shot me an accusing look and smirked. I rolled my eyes and continued eating trying to hide my embarrassment.
Paul started snickering and then they all burst out into laughter. I could die. "Come on Jared and Soleil let's go," Kim said standing up and smiling at me. I rolled my eyes. We said out goodbyes and got in the car. On the way home Jared kept looking at me through the rear-view and smiling. Why did everyone find it that funny?
When we got back to Kim's place I hurried inside hoping not to witness and mushy goodbyes. I headed into Kim's room and saw my suit cases on what I presumed was my bed. I opened one, grabbed some pajamas, and changed. I could unpack tomorrow.
As I was crawling into bed Kim came in. "You like Jacob," she said in a sing-song voice. "Oh shut up no I don't," I said hiding under the covers. Of course I didn't like him. I barely knew the boy. "Sure," she said from the bathroom.
I grabbed my picture from my suitcase and help it close. "Going to bed I see," Kim said nodding toward the picture. "Yeah, I'm beat," I said. I glanced down at the photo but tried not to look for too long. Seeing our smiling faces was probably the highlight of my day.
"I miss you Grant," I said hugging the picture one more time before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
