Authors Note: Well, here we go again. If people aren't reading this, I should be happy I don't have death threats coming at me, right? Which means, this chapter will be safe from flames and outrage. As I stated before, I love seeing Paul and Bella together, but I also wanted a different take on the whole imprint thing. We all know it went sour at one point for Sam. But, thank you to everyone who put this on their story alert. I hope it's turning out to your liking.

Thank you to HarryTwilightMaxRideFan, for beta'ing this story for me. Also, for taking a chance on my crazy story.

"You were the shiny new toy, who became even shiner when you told Lauren off."

Jessica's voice faded into the background as Bella tried to concentrate on her food. It seemed she was more irritable and short tempered these days. The fork in her hand started stabbing at the macaroni and cheese on her lunch plate.

"Jessica has anyone told you, your voice sounds like a fog horn?" Bella asked, not realizing she was shouting across the whole cafeteria.

Bella looked up from her food to look at the girls face, as she realized the whole cafeteria went silent after her outburst. Jessica sat still in the chair across from Bella, her mouth opened in shock, as if she couldn't believe she had said that.

"Bella, why would you say that?" She asked, sounding like she was on the verge of tears.

Everyone watched as the brunette stood from her chair, holding a carton of milk in her hands. Jessica should have known to keep her mouth shut, as Bella leaned over and dumped the milk all over her head.

"Because I felt like it," she said. Bella crushed the milk carton in her hands, and tossed it on the table, leaving the cafeteria without another word.

Sam Uley would like to think he knew his pack very well. After all, he was the first to phase before any of them, even if it took him a while to get back into his human body. But, there was a nagging feeling in the back of his head that would not go away.

He winced when he heard a wolf howl in the distance. The need to answer the call was strong, but there was nothing he could do for his pack member. This was something that needed to be settled between the imprint and the wolf. Although he wondered if he should pull an intervention and make Bella accept the imprint. That could work, right?

Another howl and he winced.

Jacob Black was sitting in his garage trying to work on the Rabbit. Thats all he's been doing in between patrolling, pack meetings, taking care of his father, and school. He found the garage a safe haven from everything, until he started hearing the howl.

That was something he couldn't avoid, no matter how loud he turned the music up. Its been a week since Bella had been to La Push, since Paul imprinted on her. A scowl appeared on his face as he thought of that. Why did Paul imprint on the girl he loved? He was hoping after he phased and looked in her eyes, he would imprint on her. No such luck.

"Jacob."

Jacob turned to look at the person standing in the doorway of his garage. Sam was looking at him, as if he held all the answers to the problem they were facing right now. He snorted as he turned away from Sam.

"What do you want Sam?"

"I think it's time you brought Bella here."

A dark silver wolf was running through the woods, as it was trying to stop itself from running straight to Forks. The pull to his mate wasn't strong in this form and if it was the only way to avoid the pain, he would take it.

A yawn escaped his mouth as he lay down under a bush. He wondered what his mate and pack were up to, since he stayed in this form twent-four seven, since Bella's rejection. His alpha hasn't tried once to get him to phase back. Maybe he'd given up trying to get him to do anything, since that first night. Oh, that was a fun time.

Charlie was sitting in the recliner, trying to watch a baseball game. Jacob wasn't sure if he should be extremely lucky or a lot more worried. When Charlie was watching a baseball game, he didn't pay attention to anything going on.

Bella could feel his eyes on the back of her head. She continued to cut the vegetables up for dinner, as a way to avoid him. It seemed like he wanted to have this confrontation now, rather then never. Jacob wanted to talk. He could start talking; she wasn't going to say anything.

"Bella, we need to talk."

"About what?"

"With whatever is going on between Paul and you."

Brown eyes turned to glare at her childhood friend. She was hoping that one look would get him to shut up about what was going on between Paul and her. Charlie tried to listen in on what Jake and his daughter were talking about, but he could hear nothing.

He let out a grunt as he got up from the chair in front of the television. Charlie made his way to the kitchen, as he stood in the doorway looking between Jake and Bella. The two teens just stood in the kitchen next to each other, as Bella continued to get dinner ready.

"Staying for dinner, Jake?" Charlie asked.

Bella stopped stirring the dinner as she waited for Jake's reply. She should have known Charlie would ask that. Charlie was still angry with her for the incident at school earlier today, but dropped it after she told him what they did to her.

Bella knew she wasn't going to escape this without a few words and maybe a good foot stomping. She was done with the supernatural world and it was about time that Jake and Paul understood that.

Well, she was done with the dating aspect of it anyways. She wouldn't mind being friends with Jake and possibly her imprinter.
