AN: Alright this was a hard chapter to write, I'm not sure why. Anyways, here ya go!
Jacob POV
My mom came in and instantly started yelling at Nick and I, we were playing Halo, and so we weren't really paying attention. She was yelling for who knows how long, until she noticed we weren't paying attention to her, then she walked over and turned off the XBOX, Fang and I groaned and leaned back, setting our controllers on the couch.
"You need to clean up this mess boys! I've told you many times this week that we have company coming over tonight. I also told you that you are in charge of entertaining the kids."
"We have to deal with kids?" I asked her, I didn't really like kids all that much.
"They're teenagers, don't worry, I'm pretty sure they're all around your age." She shrugged softly and waved her hand. "Now get this place cleaned up. I brought the trash cans over, they're outside the door. Be sure to vacuum, and spray some Fabreeze, it reeks of a locker room in here."
"Alright." I said while nodding.
"When are they gonna be here?" Quil asked from the corner, looking up from his book.
"Uh," My mom said as she looked at the clock. "In about an hour." She looked back at us and sighed. "You better get to it," she started walking away towards the door of our little man cave, "if this garage isn't clean by the time they get here, you will all be grounded."
We all groaned and got up, starting to clean like mad men. Mom was always serious when she pulled out the grounding card. She must really wanna impress these people. Nick hadn't said a word, he usually went along with whatever Mom said, acting like he was the good kid. But he wasn't. He's a pretty bad kid; at least he used to be. He was into the drugs, drinking, self-injury. Crazy stuff. As soon as mom and dad found out though, they got him help. They dealt with it very well, not freaking out on him but trying to understand. It was good for all of us. But he's been really quiet ever since.
If you haven't figured out already, Nick is my brother. We're pretty tight. You might think that Quil is our brother too, well, he pretty much is, but he's actually our cousin. He lives with us in the Garage of Manliness because his parents died almost ten years ago, when he was seven. My parents weren't aware at the time, but they were in the will to take care of Quil after they died, and they got money too. It was a pretty life changing experience.
Leah was the happiest to have Quil come and stay with us. Leah's my sister by the way, she's the oldest. She and Quil were like best friends, but it only makes sense because they are both so weird.
Me and my family live on the Quileute Reservation. We're part of an ancient Indian tribe. It's fun, especially when that tribe was full of werewolves. Yes, werewolves like men who phase into werewolves. It's awesome. Someday I'll be the Alpha of the pack, hopefully. I'm not sure if I want to though. I declined the offer from Sam when I first phased, so now I'm kind of the Beta. All of my siblings and Quil are werewolves. It's weird that Leah is, she's the only girl, but whatever.
Quil's phone started going off to Edge of Glory, meaning it was Nudge, Quil's imprint, and best friend. Quil smiled and answered his phone. "Hey beautiful." He said as he cleaned. I could hear Nudge talking all the way from the other side of the room, although I do have super human hearing. Nick and I looked at each other and we rolled our eyes in unison, and then chuckled, shaking our heads.
We were always annoyed when it came to Quil and Nudge, they were always so flirty. Quil has known Nudge since she was seven, and he was eight. He didn't know that he would be spending the rest of his life with her until last year, after he phased for the first time. He saw her and he just knew, he says "it's like she's my source of oxygen." Only Quil would say something so nerdy.
I think for the most part, Nick and I are just jealous. We try and hide it, but whenever we're all out running, it can sometimes slip when Quil starts thinking about Nudge. Did I mention that we have particular wolf telepathy? Yeah, we do whenever we're phased. It gets really annoying whenever we're going through something personal, because then it's always on our mind, and everyone else will know about it then. Just a down side to the awesomeness of being a wolf, I guess.
We finished cleaning the room in no time. When we were finished we walked out and took the trash cans out to the end of the driveway so it could get picked up in the morning. We raced back to the house, I won, although Nick was close on my tail (no pun intended). He's fast, but I'm faster. I'm not the fastest in the pack though, that would be Leah. Of course. But I guess it's good for her, having some kind of head on us. We walked in the main house, and to the kitchen where my mom was.
"Did you remember to Fabreeze the room?" Mom asked me. I groaned and shook my head, running out to the garage real quick to spray the room.
I grabbed the bottled and ran around the room spraying everything down. I put the Fabreeze pack in the cabinet that held all the cleaning stuff and went back inside.
"Of course." I said with a cocky grin. My mom just shook her head.
"Alright, you boys need to clean yourselves up, I don't want you looking like messes when the Swan's get here. Please shower and put some clean clothes on at least." We all nodded and left, each of us grabbing a freshly baked cupcake as we left.
I walked to the garage and over to my dresser. I decided on a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, a blue t-shirt, and my gray hoodie, since it was "cold" for humans. Had to play the part. I grabbed a pair of boxers and a towel. I walked to the bathroom that my dad had built into the garage and took a quick shower, thankful that I got my stuff together first.
After I got done getting ready, I walked back to the kitchen and sat down at the island and watched my mom cook. I smiled when I realized she was cooking my favorite, stroganoff, with mashed potatoes and a salad.
"So mom, who are these people again?" I asked my mom, Sue.
"They're old friends of your father and I." she turned around and smiled softly at me as she stirred the sauce for the noodles.
"You said it was the Swan's?"
"Yep." She nodded, turning back around to better cook.
"Hm." Was the only response I could muster.
"They have two girls, and a younger boy." She added in.
"How old is the boy?" I asked.
"He's sixteen I think."
"Oh, and the girls?"
"Eighteen and Seventeen."
"I see." I said softly, wondering if they were hot. Next thing I knew Nudge was skipping into the kitchen.
"Good evening Sue!" Nudge said, skipping through the kitchen over to the garage.
"Hello Nudge." My mom said. I could hear my mother smiling. She loved Nudge. Probably only because she made Quil happy. Nudge knocked on the garage door then walked in.
"Since when was Nudge joining us?" I asked, kind of annoyed.
"She always comes over, Jacob." I sighed softly.
You're probably wondering why I don't particularly like Nudge. It's because she never shuts up. She's always talking. I guess it makes sense that Quil would imprint on her. He's a very tolerant person, and quiet. They'll be good together. It's super obvious that she has a giant crush on him, she has since she was twelve, but Quil said he hasn't felt the romantic part of the imprint until recently. HE thinks it's because she wasn't truly ready for a relationship yet. Whatever, I'm hoping that whoever I imprint on is well ready for that stage.
"Jacob," my mom said softly, bringing me back into reality. I looked up at her, she came over and leaned over the island. She put her hand on my arm. "Someday, you'll find someone special to you. I promise."
"Thanks mom." I smiled softly.
"Now go set the table for eight please?" She asked as she went back to cooking.
"Yep." I stood up and got out eight plates, and eight forks.
I walked into the dining room and started setting the table. I walked back into the kitchen and grabbed eight glasses and took them to the table. I set one in front of every plate. I sighed softly and sat down in my spot and got my phone out. I checked my messages and noticed I had a message from Rachel, my current girlfriend. I figured my imprint wasn't going to be around for awhile, maybe never. Might as well be with someone I really like. I saw her face come up on my screen and I smiled. I walked onto the porch and answered the call.
"Hey beautiful." I heard her giggle slightly. "How are you?"
"I'm good, how are you?"
"I'm better now." I said, grinning.
"Really?"
"Of course, I'm talking to the most amazing girl ever, why wouldn't I be better?"
"I'm not that amazing, you haven't even met every other girl in the world."
"Even if I had, I would still think so."
"Aww, you're too nice Jacob."
"I'm just being honest."
"Well, you're pretty awesome too."
"I know." She laughed and I smiled softly.
"I think it's time we go on our tenth date."
"I was thinking the same thing."
"How about tomorrow? For our one month anniversary?"
"Aww, you remembered?"
"Of course I remembered! So how about it? I'll pick you up at 5:30? We can go to dinner and a movie."
"Sounds amazing, babe."
"Awesome, well, I have to go cause we have company. I'll see you tomorrow night."
"Alright, bye."
"Bye, Rach."
I hung up and walked inside, I heard my parents greeting people at the door and I walked in that way.
"There you are Jacob!" My mom said, motioning for me to join my family in the living room. I smiled and walked over and stood next to my little sister Ella. "This is my oldest son, Jacob." My mom said, introducing me to the Swan family. I smiled and shook the fathers hand.
"Wow, Jacob, you sure have grown." The dad said. "I'm Chief Swan, it's been awhile. I wouldn't expect you to remember me."
"I remember you vaguely." I chuckled softly.
"Well, this is my wife, Valerie, my son James, my oldest daughter Bella, and my youngest daughter Maxine." He pointed each out to me and I shook their hands. When I looked into Maxine's eyes, everything froze. I gasped softly, in shock. I cleared my throat and pulled my hand away reluctantly.
"Uhm, excuse me." I walked away, and it hurt, to walk away from her. My hand was still tingling from making contact with her. I walked into the garage and over to the bathroom. I closed the door and locked it. "Shit." I said softly.
Someone walked into the garage and came over.
"Jake, what's wrong?" Nick said from outside. I sighed and opened the door.
"Nick, I just imprinted on her."
AN: ALRIGHT! What did you think? Intense right? I'm not too sure how to continue this. Should he tell Max right away? What should he do with Rachel? I want some of your guys' input! :)
Thanks!
