Disclaimer: Jacob Black: Hey Miche

Miche: Huh? Jacob!? What the…where the hell did you come from!?

Jacob: The other side of the forest.

Miche: Oh, but I thought you didn't exist.

Jacob: I don't.

Miche: What do you mean?

Jacob: I just came to remind you that you don't own Twilight.

Miche: Wha…?

Jacob: Well bye then. (leaves)

Miche: (wakes up) What the hell was that!?

A/N: Well thank you to the people who reviewed. YOU LIKE ME?! YOU REALLY LIKE ME!? Whoo so I decided to try to pump out another chapter before getting the first chapter of my next story done. I hope to have it out in the next couple days. It will be the third in the "what if" series. I am also almost done the next chapter for my book Midday Moon so check that out and tell me what you think. Enough of my babbling, on with the chapter.

He looked sad. It was painful to look at. Had I made him feel this way? I could feel my brain working. What was going on? Who is Embry's imprint? Why is it so important to keep it a secret? Why would it hurt Jake to know? Was it someone he cared about? His family, or...? Then it clicked.

"Me."

Embry looked down at me. He seemed surprised that I put it together.

"How…?" he stumbled.

"You said it was important to keep you imprint a secret because if Jake. That could only mean it was someone he cared about. And the person he cares the most about is me."

Embry shook his head. "I should have known you'd figure it out."

I looked at him hard. "What I don't get is why you didn't tell me."

Embry looked down at me. He looked worn. "I just couldn't do that to you Bella. After all you've been through. It would have been too much for you. I see the way you look at him. You need him to live. It's like an addiction for you. It's like you're a drug addict and he's the drug you take."

I shook my head. "Embry…How could you do that to yourself?" My voice was little more than a whisper.

"I love you, so I couldn't hurt you. Not like that."

I had tears in my eyes. "Embry…"

"No."

I looked at his face. He was crying too. I couldn't help but to feel sorry for him. The girl he loved was with someone else. It was me. I was hurting him. I clutched him closer to me. I didn't want his warmth to leave me. His scent was amazing; even better that Edwards. He smelled very woodsy with a musky undertone. I didn't want to move away from his body. His eyes were swimming with emotion. Longing, love, hurt, anger, embarrassment…it was almost painful to look at. My eyes were almost pleading with his. I knew this was wrong, that it would hurt Edward; but I just couldn't help myself. I leaned up and kissed him. He seemed taken aback and pulled away too quickly.

I looked up at him and he shook his head. "Don't do this," he said.

"You know I can't stop. I can't help myself."

"I have tried so hard. I've been keeping my distance. But seeing you here, hurt. I just couldn't leave you."

"Embry…don't you get it?"

"What am I supposed to get?"

"Being your imprint makes me care about you. It makes me care about what happens. I can't help but to fall in love with you. You should understand this; you're the werewolf after all."

"Bella, I just don't want to hurt you. I don't want to ruin everything that you have worked so hard for and to keep. I don't want to make you second guess all of your decisions. You are engaged, and that should be more important that my imprinting on you."

"Embry, why are you doing this to yourself?"

Embry shook his head. He looked down at me painfully and slowly, so slowly, pulled himself away from where I sat. "I just can't," he mumbled and ran away.

I sat there. What did he think he was doing? How could he do this? How could I do this? I was with Edward. I love Edward. But there was something inside me that was telling me I don't. Something that wanted me to stay here with Embry. I knew what it was. I love him.
