Chapter 2-Collin.

I trudged through the muddy grass over to Brady's: we always walked over to Sam's together. I knocked on his door quietly and he stumbled toward the door, falling against it.

"Idiot." I mumbled as he walked out, pulling his converse over his heels.

"Hey, not my fault that Paul and Jake took me out last night. You could have come too!" He said, nudging my arm. I pulled it away and looked down at the ground.

"I didn't want a one night stand, Brady... I want to find the one I know will stay." I said quietly. He sighed. I obviously knew he agreed because he began nodding.

"I know you do, man. So do I but for now, what's the harm?" He suggested. I still shook my head.

"A pregnant woman? Her trying to find me? Wanting me after I've found my imprint and then ruining things between us. Breaking my heart and then I would probably end up committing suicide: I love my imprint but she's teared herself away from me." I shrugged out of it because I wasn't even going to consider it.

"And that's why you're the smart one." He murmured which made me chuckle.

"And that makes you the dumb one?" I said, turning to him.

"No," he said, eyes glittering. "It makes me the one with the good looks." I chuckled.

"Look, let's get walking-don't want to be late, do we?" I said. I was very conscious of time keeping because everyone in my family was, I didn't want to break the chain.

He nodded and began to walk next to me. "When do you think you'll find your imprint, Coll?" He looked over at me, his hands digging into his pockets. I just shrugged.

"Whenever I find the one, I guess." I shrugged, not wanting to talk about it: I knew she'd come along and she'd be perfect; however, I wouldn't say that part aloud.

"Who d'you think she'll be?" He said, being an utter douche-bag. I shrugged again.

"Does it matter to you, Brady?" I said, raising an eyebrow and sighing.

"Sorry, man. Just curious." He looked down at the ground and sighed.

For the rest of the walk it became silent. The awkwardness of that conversation simply killed it. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. He sniffed the air as we got closer to the Uley house.

"Liliana's home." He mumbled, rolling his eyes.

"Really?" I asked, genuinely happy: she was one of my best friends!

"Liliana-Mae Uley-Black," he said, "she's your bestie! Maybe you'll imprint on her." I chuckled slightly, almost imagining what Marinna would be like as my girlfriend.

"Imprint on my best friend?" I said, laughing. I heard him groan and laugh.

"I knew you loved me, Collin! But not that much." He chuckled and hit me in the arm.

"Yeah, yeah. I meant Liliana."

"Thank God, Collin!" He said, kicking the leaves around under his feet. I chuckled and kept walking. As we reached the Uley house, I knocked on the door, smiling slightly.

I heard a loud creaky walk toward the door and Sam approached us, smiling loosely. "Brady, Collin. Come on in, Emily's making muffins in the kitchen." Sam said, widening the door for us so we could walk inside.

"Thank you, Sam." I said, nodding. I walked in and found a seat in the sitting room. Everyone was talking and I didn't want to be rude an cut in mid-sentence. It was rather crowded but I didn't mind: I was quite a quiet character. I leant my head back against the back of the chair, frowning. I saw Billy appear in the corner of my eye.

"Hello, Mr. Black." I said, nodding once. He smiled.

"Hello, Collin. How is everything?" I shrugged.

"Alright, thanks. Bit tired but that wears off."

"Mmm. All that patrolling, son!" I chuckled.

"Yeah, I guess." I said as Billy disappeared.

I decided to take a breather and walked out into the backyard. Right there, was Liliana. The most beautiful girl I've seen. She had the most show-stopping red and blonde hair which, not surprisingly, make me speechless. I started to gape like a little fish: I had no words. She had the Quileute tan skin which seemed to glitter against the ceiling-light's brightness. I looked up at and into her eyes. She had one sapphire blue one and one beautiful amber eye. I couldn't stop staring. She didn't look like the old Liliana: she looked more teenage and beautiful.

She turned and saw me, running up to me and hugging me tightly.

I smiled and decided to play cool. "Hi. I don't think we've met. I'm Collin Littlesea." I whispered. All I could feel inside of me was electricity.

"Liliana. Liliana Uley-Black." She said with a slight giggle and blush which only made me fee l more strange.

"Can I speak to you, Liliana?" I said, taking one of her hands in mine and smiling. She nodded and pulled away from the hug. She jumped down from me and then she stood in front of me.

"How've you been?" I asked.

"Good. Haven't seen you in a while." She said, I nodded once.

"I know. I missed you." I took a step closer. She giggled. Her giggle was beautiful and innocent. You've imprinted, mate.

"Same."

"Liliana... I've imprinted." I said, lowering my eyes to the floor.

"Aw, who's the lucky girl?" She said with a smile.

I chuckled. "You will never be able to make eye contact with her but that's the only clue."

"Leah? She's so scary that it's hard to stare." She laughed.

I exhaled loudly and wrapped my arms around her waist. "Guess again." She blushed and giggled.

"Well... I'm the only non-imprinted girl who hangs around on the reservation so... Me?"

I nuzzled my face into her neck and could feel her face going red. I nodded into her skin, "You're so beautiful when you blush." I said and slid my arms around her waist to hold her back.

She wrapped her arms around my neck and smiled. "So your wolf chose me."

I shook my head, "My everything chose you, too." I tightened the grip around her waist. "But mainly my wolf."

Liliana smiled her beautiful smile and kissed my head. "I am glad it was you."

I sighed happily. "I'm more than glad it was you, Liliana." I pecked kisses along her neck.

I heard Liliana gasp slightly but then moved her head to the side.

I chuckled and moved my head to lean my forehead against hers, I still had my arms around her waist. "D'you think Jake is gonna' have 'the talk' with me?" I smirked.

I chuckled. "I can't break your heart now," I paused and held her closer, "you're mine until the day I die." I plucked up a bit of courage and kissed Liliana softly, I now know I had wanted this forever...
