Chapter 2: Broken hearts & New friends

"People know that love is what they want,

They get caught up and then it's gone

They can't get back the kiss they lost

They spend their whole life asking questions,

Not knowing what went wrong

But, then the answers that you know just prove you wrong,

Gotta have a little faith to fall back on

And then all that you've got left is being strong,

Gotta find a little faith to fall back on" Hunter Hayes Faith to Fall on

I felt numb as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was trying desperately to not think about everything that happened last night, but who was I kidding he was my life for so long. I slowly lost myself while being with him. Who am I now? Who was I before him? The more I think about it the more hurt I become. I quit living my life and started living their life. I stopped talking to my friends, and made my world around them. I never thought that he could just leave me like this, or that they would do this to me in general.

I stare at my reflection knowing from this day on I will get my life back on track. I will be the girl I was before I met them. Before I knew what they were, and I will live my life to grow old and eventually die. I quickly throw on a pair of jeans , a tank top and one of my flannel shirts. I never mind the way I dressed before them, it was Alice who thought I needed more fashion in my life. I looked through my closet and saw all the clothes that came from her. Nothing that I would ever buy for myself. I grabbed an empty box and wrote goodwill on it. I quickly emptied all the clothes they had brought for me. I looked at the prom dress , that was the night I asked him to change me. What was I thinking? If I ever did change I would have to leave Charlie, could I really hurt him like that, again? I throw the stupid dress in the box and looked at my now empty closet. I would have to do some shopping for clothes that I actually would wear.

I turned to my dresser and pulled out the designer skinny jeans Alice had given me , and didn't think twice when they went in the box. I quickly went through my dresser getting rid of everything that came from them. I wanted nothing that reminded me of their present in my life. I grabbed the make up she had bought me and tossed it all out. I wasn't the type of girl to spend hours on getting ready, but with Alice I became the girl. The girl who dressed to impress her boyfriend, the thought of that made me sick of how much I changed. I was never one to spend hour to get ready for school with make up and hair, but recently that is what I had been doing. I wasn't one for dressing up for a birthday party but there I was in the dress Alice had bought me. Id prefer a nice pair of jeans and some chucks.

I looked around my room and saw how empty things looked. I made my bed and put my hair in a pony tail and walked down the steps with a box in my hand. I made it to the bottom without tripping, maybe today would be a good day. Dad was sitting on the couch watching some sports thing, and yelling at the TV. That I would never understand, its not like they can hear him yelling. Dad turned around and saw me with a box in my hands

"What is that Bella? Tell me you aren't running to Phoenix again, because this time I won't let you go," Dad said firmly. I smiled to myself at how protective he has become, I don't think I would ever put Charlie through that pain again, it wasn't fair to him, or to me.

"Oh dad you can't get rid of me that easy. This is just stuff that I need to drop off at goodwill, it is clothes that I would never wear in this life time," I smiled as I walked out to my truck and put in it there. I had to remember to stop there sometime today.

Edward hated this truck, always trying to convince me to let him buy me a safer car, which is kind of funny. I think him and his family was more of a threat to me then this old beast. I smiled at the memory of Jacob and Billy coming over and Dad telling me this truck was mine. I was so excited that dad thought to buy me a truck to get myself around places, and happy knowing I wouldn't have to be dropped off at school and picked up in his cruiser.

"Hey Bells why not come back in we still have a lot to talk about," Dad said from the front door.

We were never close and never good at sharing our emotions. Renee always said I got that from Charlie. She is a free spirit and always speaks with her heart. I would rather avoid the awkward conversations. I just hoped I didn't let any tears slip out during this conversation. I sat on the couch and he on his chair. He turned off his game and started looking at me.

"Gee Bells when did you grow up?" He asked.

I looked at him , "Well along time ago I guess."

" You ah know I am not good with all this emotion talk, but Bells I am here for you. What ever you need, and if you want to talk about that Cullen boy then I am here to listen," dad said.

"What is there to say? They left just like that. No warning, no nothing. They aren't coming back."

" I know you are clumsy but did he ever physical hurt you? Since you started dating him you got injured more, and ah."

"Oh god dad no. He wouldn't do that to me," I sighed. I thought about telling him the truth but he wouldn't believe me and would probably have me committed into a psych hospital.

"You two never ah had sex right? He didn't leave because you are ah pregnant or anything , right?" dad asked. His cheeks were red and he was looking at the floor.

"No dad trust me that isn't the case at all. I never did that with him," I said not making eye contact with him. Could this get anymore embarrassing? My cheeks were burning, I knew they were red as an apple. Emmett would have loved this conversation. I don't know what hurts more the fact that Edward left or the fact his family didn't say bye.

" Ah okay Bells I believe you. Sorry for asking but they left out of no where," he mumbled.

"I was thinking of maybe calling Jacob up, and seeing if he wants to hang out. Jess and Angela are busy today, so I thought maybe I could start with becoming friends with Jacob again. It seems I lost myself while dating him," I said as I picked at my nail. This was awkward, and what was I suppose to tell him. Dad the Cullen's well they aren't exactly human you see they are vampires. Yeah I know I sound crazy but they really are vampires. That is why you don't see them outside it is because well they glitter in the sun. Im sure he will believe that story, as well as the oh last year in Phoenix I almost got turned. That weird scar is where James bite me and where Edward sucked it out so I wouldn't be turned. Yup he would defiantly think I am crazy. Not to mention those three guys last night yeah they are werewolves.

"I think thats a good idea Bells. Its good you won't be cooped up in this house, and you should be out living your life, and not moping around. I am really proud of you, I know I don't tell you this enough, but Bells you are turning into an amazing woman, and any guy would be lucky to have you. You manage to do so much around here, and your working part time, and keeping up on your grades. You are also staying out of trouble, I don't know how you do all this, but I am very proud of you," Dad said.

I felt my cheeks blush even more, I didn't think that was possible. He never told me he was proud of me, but I always knew he was. "Thanks dad that means a lot."

With that being said I got up and walked to the kitchen to call Jake. I slowly began to dial his number and become nervous I wasn't sure why though. I felt like getting my life back on track and I didn't want to lay around crying over what could have been. Clearly he didn't care about me if he could leave just like that.

"Hello," Billy answered the phone. I sighed. I had hoped it would have been Jake.

"um Hey Billy, Its Bella would Jake happen to be around?" I asked.

"Ah Yeah sure sweetheart hold on one minute while I get him," Billy said.

I heard Billy yelling in the back ground, Boy wake your ass up there is a girl on the phone for you. I chuckled. I heard Jake reply That isn't funny who is it really Quil or Embry?

"Hello?" Jake spoke. He sounded like he just woke up.

"Ah Hey Jake Its Bella," I responded.

"Bella oh gosh let me guess you heard everything in the back ground . That stupid old man," He mumbled.

"Its all good. I know this is kind of weird but I was wonder if maybe you wanted to hang out. I mean I know we haven't talked in awhile with everything that had been going on," I said. What was I suppose to say.

"Sure, Sure, that would be great. I was planning on working on my rabbit but I think I can change that to hang out with you," Jake said.

"Oh you don't have to do that. I mean I could hang out where ever you want to work on your ah Rabbit," I mumbled. What the hell is a rabbit?

"Its in the garage, I am working on getting it running. You can come down whenever Bells," He said.

"Alright I will see you shortly," I said and hung up.

"Dad, Im going over to Jakes, you want to come?" I asked. I knew it has been a while since he saw Billy, and I was thinking I'll hang with Jacob then make them dinner then maybe head to the bonfire, but I wasn't sure I wanted to go yet. I still had no idea what the hell an imprint was, but not only that I wasn't sure I wanted to be around more supernatural creatures ever again.

"Yeah I guess I can come and hang with the old man. Want to go in the cruiser?" He asked.

"Sure dad," I said. I didn't want to go in the cruiser but I doubt dad wants to drive the beast.

The ride to La Push wasn't as long as I thought it to be. Dad and I just continued talking more about how work was going and whats going on in school. Finally, we pulled up a driveway to a little red house. I smiled remember when I came here when I was younger and we would make mud pies, and Jake would actually eat them, silly boy.

" Well Bells you ready," Dad asked as he opened the door.

I saw the front door open and Jacob run out the door. He had grown a whole lot. If i would have seen him anywhere else i may not have recognize him. He had to be at least six feet tall and he was almost built like Sam and the gang. I wonder if he is a werewolf now too? Although, I am sure if he was he would have been there last night looking for me.

Next thing I knew I was being picked up in a huge hug, "Its good to see you Bells."

"Hey Jakey put me down! My feet belong on the ground! What the hell is Billy feeding you? Your so tall," I asked as he placed me back on the ground. I got a good look at him . He could easily pass for being in his 20's , not 16.

"Im a growing boy what can I say?" He said with a grin.

"Yeah ah huh what ever you say. I feel like a midget around you," I said as I looked up to him.

He put his arm around me and pulled me to his garage. "You'll get use to it , shorty. This is my car." He pointed to what looked like a car although the hood was open and it didn't have an engine or a transmission in it, it looked really empty. Now I'm no car expert but I know those are two very important things .

"Ah Jake I know nothing about cars but isn't there suppose to be something in there to make it run?" I putted inside the hood.

"I am rebuilding those," he said with an eye roll. "Want a soda? They are warm but they are still good."

I grabbed one from his hand and opened it. "So Jake what have you been up to since the last time I saw you?"

" Oh just hanging with Quil and Embry, and working on this baby," he said as he pointed to his car. I'll never understand boys and their cars, but then again Rosalie was just as obsessed with cars as the boys. I pushed the thought into the back of my head, I didn't want to think about them today or ever again. "I tried to go out last night to look for you, but Dad said that he sent people that would find you."

"Ah yeah Sam, Paul and Jared found me a few miles from the house," I said as I looked at the ground. I hope he didn't ask for much more information, I didn't want to lie to him .

"Ah the La Push gang. The old man says they are good people, but I dont know. The way the stare at me creeps me out like I am the next to join their little gang. Some people think they are into drugs, but Dad says they are helping the community out. So they found you , I guess that makes them good? What were you doing out in the forest?" He asked. He was staring at me and I looked at the ground. What was I suppose to say? The Cullen's are no good?

"I don't think they are bad people, if that matters. Then again I don't really know them , so I don't know. I am sure they aren't watching you, maybe you just think they are Jake, or maybe they have a crush on you. " I chuckled.

He threw his dirty oil rag at me, " What can I say? Im just so hot everyone wants to be with me. Stop trying to change the subject."

"I guess you heard the Cullen's left, right? Well Edward left me , well to be honesty I shouldn't have followed him in the forest. I knew better then that, but I was upset that they were leaving or well they left. Not one of them could say good bye to me not after everything that happened," I said fighting back the tears. It still hurt that the guy that I love could just leave me like that saying he never loved me. Jake pulled me into a hug and that is when I finally lost it and cried. I don't know how long we stayed like that but I heard a growl from behind me.

I pulled away and saw Sam, Jared, and a mad looking Paul staring at Jake and I. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked as I pulled away from Jake.

I still don't know what the hell an imprint meant , but I figured it was something that Paul didn't like me hugging another guy in his present. I still am not sure what they are capable of doing and I don't want Jake to get hurt. Jake grabbed my hand and pulled me back a little so that he was in front of me. What is it with the males thinking I am a helpless, defensive girl? i ran with vampires. It is nice everyone in a while to have something there to protect me, but I am more then capable of handling myself.

"Billy called us," Sam answered as he was staring at Jake. I looked over to Paul who was shaking uncontrollable, and I felt Jake shaking a little bit too. That is when I realized Jake was almost as hot as Sam and the others were. I tried to grab my hand from Jake but he had a good grip on me.

"Jake you need to let my hand go please. You are holding it a little too tight," I whispered. Jake loosen his grip but continued to stare at the other three man who were now standing in his garage. His garage was small to begin with but with them three there it was defiantly smaller.

"Jake I need you to let go of Bella's hand and try to calm down," Sam spoke softly. I saw Jared slowly backing away, and I saw Paul slowly trying to inch his way towards us. His eyes were locked on Jacob, and they were starting to make me nervous. I wasn't sure why I felt drawn to Paul but all I wanted to do was run to him. I shook my head, I don't understand this attraction to him. Paul of all the guys in the world, I heard rumors about him back in Forks. For something to make it all the way back to Forks from La Push about one guy who had a reputation about using females for one thing. I wasn't anything like that, and yet all I wanted was to be near him.

"Who are you to come in my garage and tell me what I need to do?" he said in a low growling voice. I felt his whole body now shaking worse now then before. I had no idea what this meant but from the look on Sam's face I knew it couldn't be good. I tried to remove my hand from Jake's again, but when I did that he held tighter. I knew Jacob would never hurt me he was just doing what he thought was right.

"Jake your holding my hand tight again," I sighed. He loosen his grip but he still hadn't released me. "Jake they aren't going to hurt me, and you are fine. I know you don't understand what is going on fully and neither do I, but I am sure they have a reason on why they are here. So maybe we should step outside where it is a lot more room. With all you tall , built guys I am starting to feel claustrophobic."

Sam , and Jared starting making their way to the garage door, but Paul hadn't moved from his spot. He keep his death glare on Jacob, and I wasn't sure if Jake was going to walk out the door. Actually, I wasn't even sure what was going on, but I figured it had to be somewhat serious for the way they all looked. Jacob had let go of my hand finally but I wasn't going to try to run passed him and into Paul's arm. Wait, why would I want to be in Paul's arm. I need to stop thinking this. Edward and I just broke up , I am not ready to even think about another guy that way.

Jacob slowly started walking towards the garage doors, but he stopped a few inches in front of Paul, who finally broke eye contact and looked back at me, then quickly back at Jacob.

"Paul come on," Sam said from outside the door. I sighed.

Paul walked out the door, and Jacob followed behind. I wasn't too far behind him, when Billy came rolling out. "Charlie and I are going to Henry's for a little bit. Henry is cooking up fish, so don't worry about dinner for us old man tonight, Bella. Enjoy your evening. " He gave me a wink. Made me wonder if he knew what the hell is going on with Jake.

"Bells if you need anything call me and I will come get you. I trust you man won't get into any trouble or cause her trouble," Charlie said as his glanced at the other guys.

I gave dad a quick hug and watched them walk away. I looked at all the guys before anyone spoke. Jake was still giving death glares to the other guys, but more importantly he was giving Paul the death glare the most. I knew as little kids Jacob has always had a crush on me but I never felt the same. We practically grow up together when I was here and he is my best friend I would never do anything to jeopardize that.

Of course our fathers would have loved for Jake and I to fall in love and get married. I just never thought or felt that way towards him. They of course would love us together, for all I know those old man have already planned our wedding.

" Bella why don't you come stand behind me," Paul commanded but he wasn't looking at me. He kept his eyes on Jacob. Who was Paul to tell me what to do? He doesn't own me and I am more the capable of being able to handle myself.

" Moron, you don't control me," I snapped . " Jake I have to pee so I am walking into the house."

" Alright Bells . I'll be in there in a few minutes," Jake responded. He took his eyes off of Paul and watched me walking towards the house.

I rolled my eyes at all the guys and slowly made my way to their porch. I didn't have to pee but I was sick of the staring contest that was going on over there. I barely made it to the front door when I heard growling. I turned around and saw something I wasn't expecting . Where Jacob was standing now stood a russet color giant wolf.

I started to feel dizzy but I tried to hold my balance. I couldn't believe were Jacob once was standing now was a giant wolf . He let out a loud howl and gave me one last look before taking off towards the forest. It broke my heart to know my best friend has to deal with turning into a wolf.

I saw where Sam stood a black wolf that was slightly bigger then Jacob. This was my first time ever seeing them in their wolf form and they were in the front yard. Thankfully all the neighbors were either at work or in their house. I don't even know how we'd explain this one.

Sam, and Jared took off to the forest following Jacob. I saw Paul walking towards me, and I shook my head. I was in no mood to deal with him . Poor Jake he had no idea what was going happen , and to be honest neither did I.

" Princess, next time I tell you to move do what I say. Do you have any idea how dangerous it was for you to be around him. Especially on the first time he has ever phased in his life? Do you want yourself dead?" he snapped at me.

" Excuse me, who do you think you are? You don't own me. I am not property , I am however a human being ," I sneered at him. I grabbed the knob for the front door to open it. I figured Jacob would be gone a while but I could busy myself.

" We aren't done talking yet, Princess," Paul said as he followed behind me.

" I thought we were considering your an asshole who doesn't know how to talk to someone with respect," I said. I didn't bother turning around to see his face I could care less .

He grabbed my arm and I stopped walking. I was ready to slap him across the face. I turn around and kneed him right where I knew it would hurt. He fell to his knees and was cussing under his breath.

" Next time you go to grab me ill make sure I do real damage. Lets get something straight, you don't own me, and you never will. Lay a hand on me again and ill cut an organ you have grown attached to," I snapped as I sat on the couch.

" Got it," he mumbled still holding himself. I felt bad for hurting him but I wasn't in the mood for games. My best friend turned into a freaking dog, my ex is a vampire and this moron thinks he owns me.

" Good," I said. I turned on the TV and started flipping through the channels to see if anything good was on.

" Is it alright if I sit next to you? " He asked .

" Sure , but remember what I said."

" Okay. Lets try this again. Isabella, I was trying to protect you. Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?" Paul asked.

" No Paul I have no idea what could have happened. In case you don't know this, this is all new to me. I use to hang with vampires not teen wolves," I said.

He grabbed the remote and shut the TV off, " Teen wolves? Interesting. When he first phases he has no control. He gets so mad and the shaking and then the next thing it feels like your skins being ripped off the bones. It feels like all your bones are breaking. The first time is not pleasant at all," Paul said.

" Does it feel like that Every time?" I asked.

" No it gets easier with time. There are signs to when we are going phase. If we are shaking really bad, and that usually happens when we are extremely mad. I was so scared Jake was going hurt you," he whispered.

I saw the look in his eyes and saw the pain. " What is an imprint?"

" Basically we are destined to be together. It's like love at first sight," he replied.

" What? I don't even freaking know you!" I shouted.

" I know but it doesn't change anything. It's your call. I could be your friend, your brother or your lover. It's what ever you want. If you want friends then you should know that even if you do find another man to marry and have a family with you will truly never be in love with him," He said.

I was never to truly be happy if I decided to be with another guy? So Paul was it for me? How was that even possible? He was the complete opposite of me. He is a player, and would never take anyone serious. Oh gosh if he is my soul mate and I kneed him where it hurts.

" That's a lot to take it. What happens if you imprint on someone else?" I asked. I suddenly felt stupid.

" That's not how it works, Princess. It's only you," he said.

" I just got out of a relationship. One that I lost myself in and became someone I didn't recognize. I don't think I ready to make that kind of decision. I have to be okay with being single and finding myself before I can be with anyone. If it is okay I would like to start out as friends, getting to know you," I said.

" Sure Princess. I am okay with getting to know you," he said.

Just as he finished speaking I heard a deep howl, " who is that?"

" Come on Im taking you to the imprints are. That's a warning howl must be a leech nearby," Paul said.

He picked me up and held me bridal style while he ran out the door. He almost ripped Billy's door off the frame. He ran all the way to a house that I could only guess held the other two imprints.

It was a slightly bigger house than Billy's. it was white and had a porch on the front of their house. You could tell a female lives here. She had flower beds near the fence. Paul slowed down as he opened their door.

" Hey Em, Jake phased, leaving Bella here," Paul shouted and ran out the back door.

I stood there awkwardly waiting from someone to come into the kitchen. I sat down on a chair in the kitchen waiting. Finally I heard someone walking down the steps.

" So your the famous Bella who stole Paul's heart," the woman spoke.

" I guess that would be me," I said as I looked up at her

She had black hair and her skin was a copper color. The right side of her face was scarred from what looks like an animal attack but besides that she is beautiful.

" Well I am Emily, Sam's fiancée and imprint it's nice to meet you," she said as she sat down next to me.

" Sorry for just showing up here, Paul left me here. He heard a howl and ran off ," I said .

" Yeah this is where the pack usually hangs out. Also were the imprints are when the boys go out. It's nice to add someone else into the mix," Emily said.

" Do you mind if I go sit out back for a little bit? This is so much to take in," I asked.

" I was planning to work in the garden do you want to help?" she asked.

I liked her, she was unlike other people I have met . It's not like Edwards family really accepted me. We all got a long but deep down I knew they thought this was a bad idea especially Rose.

" Sure, " I replied .

We walked outside and she handed me a pair of gloves and started pulling some weeds. It was nice to be accepted.

" How long have you been around ? " I asked.

" With the wolves?Well I don't know how much they told you, but Sam was the first one to turn. So I was the first imprint. There's something you should probably know about Sam and I. I am not from La Push. I am from a reservation that's not too far from here , the Makah tribe. I am part Quilette on my mothers side, so I have family around here. I was down here visiting my two cousins, My Aunt and Uncle. My cousin Leah and I were more like sisters then cousins but that was before. You see Leah was engaged to Sam. At first when Sam came back he was acting differently and he keep staring at me. He showed up at Makah reservation and tried to explain stuff to me. I thought he was crazy, I felt a pull towards him but I wouldn't do that to Leah. I couldn't do that to her, we fought it so hard. That's how I got these scars. I made him mad and I was standing to close and this happened," she whispered .

I didn't know what to say. Sam was engaged to Emily's cousin? Her cousin must hate her now. " Do you and Leah still talk?"

She got a sad look in her eyes, " No . She called me every name in the book. She wished illness on me and everything else. She was hurt I deserved it. She couldn't understand why her parents didn't disown me. They knew the reason behind Sam and I. Since Harry is on the council he is apart of the secret," she said as she wiped a few years away.

" Im sorry," I said. I didn't know what to say.

" I just hope one day she can forgive me. I would have done anything for her, I still would do anything for her," she gave me a sad smile.

" Maybe if she was let in on the secret then she wouldn't be as hateful towards you?" I said.

" I thought about that but it doesn't change anything. We aren't aloud to tell the secret. Too many questions come along with that," she said.

" I can understand that. That's why the Cullen's stayed away from humans," I whispered.

" Do you want to talk about it?"

" What's there to say? Edward said he lied he didn't love me. I was just something to distract him ," I whispered through the tears. I felt such hate towards the people I once thought of as family .

" Im sure that he had a reason for leaving," she said. She stopped pulling weeds and was looking at me. I guess we were bounding she told me her story I guess I could tell her part of mine.

" Jasper almost killed me," I whispered. That's the first time I actually admitted to myself that he was close to killing me.

" Jasper is his brother?" She asked.

" Jasper was new to their vegetarian life style. You see. It was my 18th birthday. I was opening something and cut my finger. It happened all so quickly that I barely realized what was happening. Edward pushed me back into the piano and was in front of me. Emmett's and them tried to hold Jasper until he came to his sense.," I said.

" Does Paul know this?" She asked.

" No Paul doesn't know anything. The only reason he is attracted to me is because of the imprint. I know all about him and his list of woman," I said.

" I never agreed with the way he was," She said.

We stayed quiet and went back to weeding . There wasn't much to say. I realized Emily has a big heart and

Was basically the mother hen of this pack. I had a lot to think about. She basically made it sound like its impossible to fight the imprint bond. It seemed like forever before the guys returned.

" I can't believe we lost her," Paul said.

" Lost who?" I asked.

I looked to see it was just Paul, Sam and Jared. No Jacob.

" Pack business don't worry your pretty little face," Paul snapped.

I gave him a death glare, " I warned you about that. Want a replay of earlier? Where's Jacob?"

" he hasn't phased back yet. It's golden that is the next question you'd ask," Paul snapped and walked into the house.

I followed him ," What the hell is your issue? "

" Oh can it Bella. I'm not in the mood to deal with this shit. That is why I don't do relationships. Maybe you and Jacob would be better off together. You will end up being too needy," he snapped.

I was fighting back tears ," I don't know what your issue is. I'm going to Billy's . Don't follow me. Don't ever come near me again. I don't know what happen when you were out there that you did a complete turn around."

I left the kitchen and started walking down the road toward the Black's house. I don't know what happened out there but he shouldn't be blaming me for it. I never wanted to see him again. Clearly he doesn't even want a friendship from me.

I heard the door slam behind me and stopped to see who it was. I saw Paul running out and gave me a glare before taking off to the forest. It was for the best.

This chapter could have went on forever. I didn't know how to end it. So I broke it up in two parts. This is the first part. And I'll try to post the next chapter up in a couple of days. I know Embry phased before Jacob but I changed it.
