BROOKE'S P.O.V
I feel my phone vibrate and I see it is from Hayley it says "I really miss you Brooks, I am so sorry that I hurt you, I know you probably don't want to talk to me but I am not going to give up... I love you and I will get you back… I don't care how long it takes…" and I see the picture she took of us on our two anniversary a few months ago attached, it has us kissing at sunset… I just drop my phone and start crying again, when I feel a warm body sit down beside me… I look up to find Paul sitting there with his eyes closed, I lean into him and I feel his arm wrap around me and hold me as I bawl my eyes out. After what seems like forever I finally stop crying and I look up to see my makeup is all over Paul.
"Omg, I am sorry Paul my makeup is all over you" I say I jump up and look through my jeep to find something to clean it up with…
"Calm down Brookie, I am more worried about you then a bit of makeup, what happened with Hayley?" he asks standing up.
I pick up my IPhone and open the message to show him, as I sit down in the passenger side of the jeep and put my head in my hands…
"Oh Brooke, what did she say on the phone?" he asks gently…
"She said she was sorry again, and that she is still in love with me basically…" I whisper without looking at him…
He pulls me out of jeep before hugging me as tight as he can without choking me he is also surprisingly warm too… that is strange, I barely notice him telling me that everything will be fine and that he won't ever let anyone hurt me ever again, I am so glad I have Paul right now… I hear footsteps approaching us then I hear Sam tell Embry and Jared to go back inside.
"Brooke, are you okay?" I hear Sam ask as Paul lets me go
I just look at him and shake my head as the tears start to flow again, I hear him walk over and then he is hugging me, I just wrap my arms around him as tight as I possibly can, then I hear him telling Paul he will sort it out but Paul refuses to go but then I hear him walk back to the house. Sam lets go before walking me inside and upstairs to one of the bedrooms and we sit there for a while as I try to calm down…
"What happened Brooke?" he asks softly from next to me
"You know I had girlfriend in Cali right?" I say softly
"Yeah, Hayley right? You guys have been together for like two years" Sam says clearly confused
"We were together for two years, until she broke up with me because I was moving back here" I say finally being able to look at him
I watch as his face switches from confusion to shock then to anger and finally to sadness…
"Oh Brooke, she seriously broke up with you because you were moving… oh wow" he says shaking
"Yeah, and I have been avoiding her calls and texts but this morning mum said that I should bite the bullet and talk to her, so I did… She apologised again, told me she made a mistake breaking up with me… and then she said she will not give up on getting me back..." I say and I notice I am shaking with anger again.
I see Sam notice but he says nothing but he pulls me into another hug before saying "I am not going to lie it is going to hurt, she broke your heart Brooke, but you can get through this, you have Paul, me, Emily, your mum and I am pretty sure the rest of guys down there who are all here for you and not to mention you are badass since when do you let other people make you feel like this, I thought you were a big tough Cheerleader" he says giving a sad smile
"Really? I have all you guys, wow… I wasn't expecting that…" I say staring at my feet
He stands up and helps me up then tells me he is going to introduce to everyone downstairs and that I was to come down when I was ready… I quickly wipe my face to get rid of the eyeliner that is running down my face, mental note get the waterproof one next time. Just as I finish wiping my face there is knock at the door, then I see Emily walk in, she gives me a smile before she helps get rid of the leftover make up on my face… We walk downstairs to find there are like eight guys in the living room staring at me… I hear Sam clear his throat before introducing everyone
He points from left to right as he says their names "this Jared, you know Paul and Embry already, that is Jacob and next to him is Quil, and the last three are Seth, Brady and Collin. Guys this my younger sister Brooke" I wave my hand shyly at them, and they all say hi before walking off… Sam tells me that he still needs to introduce to someone else but she is late get here today. I just nod before pulling my phone out to see Hayley is ringing again, cheer practice can't be over already surely? Suddenly the phone is out of my hands and into Paul's hands and I helplessly watch as he answers it… I stand there in shock as he basically tells Hayley to stop ringing and texting because he doesn't want to see me cry like I did ever again.
I hear the front door open, and I turn to see that girl from earlier walk in before she stops and stares at me with a look of pain and concern, I give a small wave and a sad smile before I try to take my phone back from Paul.
"Brooke" I hear Sam say
"Yeah Sam?" I say as I turn around
"This is Leah, the person I wanted to introduce you too" he says taking me over to her
"Hi I am Brooke, Sam's sister" I say as Paul picks me up and takes me outside to my jeep.
"Paul, what are you doing?!" I scream
"You have to go and get ready for the bonfire, your mum just texted you saying that." He says with smirk
I just take my phone before giving the finger and driving home, weirdly excited for the bonfire tonight.
LEAH'S P.O.V
I am running around trying to clear my head, when I feel someone else phase then I notice it is Sam… I try to clear my thoughts about me imprinting but it is too little too late…
"You imprinted? On who?" he asks running to meet me
"I don't know Sam... Just some girl" I say but then he pulls a picture from out of my mind and he stops dead in his tracks…
"You imprinted on Brooke! On my little sister! No!" he growls at me
I watch the images of Paul holding her whilst she was crying, I start to growl at that, that is my imprint and that should be me not that overgrown-!
"Leah enough, go get some clothes then get to my house so I can introduce her to you…" Sam cuts me off and orders me
Then I see the image of her shaking like crazy, no this can't be… she is showing all the signs before she phases for the first time, it can't be she will be the second girl to phase, I don't want her to go through the pain I did, she can't.
"I know, I am going to talk to the pack about it before the bonfire tonight… she is going to phase within the few days… So you best keep your distance for now… She is having a rough time with her ex Hayley" he says showing me the images of her crying and the text message this Hayley girl sent her.
"I wasn't going to try anything anyway…I need to get my head around this too" I say as I reach the back of house, and find the stash of clothes I have hidden here
"Just hurry up and come meet her, I need to talk to everyone about what is happening with Brooke before the bonfire tonight" he says then I feel him phase out.
I quickly phase, hop into my clothes and run to Sam's house, anxious about meeting her, as I get to the door I hear Paul on the phone yelling at someone about making Brooke cry, I feel a growl coming on I just walk right in, and I see Sam give me the look and I just nod, before I feel her eyes on me. I look up at her to see give me a small wave and a sad smile, I look at her with a concerned look and I fight my instincts to run over there and hug her until she smiles again…
"Brooke" Sam says
"Yeah, Sam" Brooke answers turning her attention to him
"This is Leah, the person I wanted to introduce you to" Sam says walking her over toward me
"Hi I am Brooke, Sam's sister" she says as Paul picks her up and takes her outside to her car, I her scream and go to help but Sam grabs before I can react.
"He won't hurt her Leah trust me, Brooke is his bestfriend." Sam says before telling everyone to go into the living room for a pack meeting.
I walk into the living room and sit by the door as we wait for Paul to get here
SAM'S P.O.V
Today has been hectic, First I had Brooke coming over but the Stupid Cullens wanted to amend the treaty because of Renesmee, that took forever so I sent Paul and Embry to help Brooke, then Brooke's ex rings her and breaks her heart all over again, then I find out Brooke is going to phase, I hate those bloodsuckers! And then to top it all off Leah imprints on Brooke…
I am brought out of my thoughts, as Paul walks in and sits next to Leah, I send Leah I warning look telling her not to start anything, I see her nod.
"Okay, Let's make this short, Jacob you can bring Renesmee to the bonfire tonight and Bella is allowed to come because she is Renesmee's mother and wouldn't let her come unless she came, I signed a new treaty with the Cullens this morning, second be aware when you are running patrol that Brooke is going to phase within the next few days and if she does you are to get me straight away-"I say when I am cut-off by Paul jumping up.
"What do you mean Brooke is going to phase Sam?! She hasn't even been here for three months yet" he says angrily pacing
"When she was upset I noticed her temperature was extremely high and she was shaking when she was angry, she is going to phase and I know how long she has been here Paul now sit back down" I say calmly
He sits back next to Leah even though he is still shaking
"This isn't fair, Brooke is having a hard enough time as it is…"Paul says to no one in particular
"I know Paul, but we all knew it was a possibility when she moved here… and lastly Brooke is an imprintee therefore we all have to keep a special eye on her until she phases, and make sure not to bombard with too much information when she does" I say glancing towards Leah
"Who imprinted on her?" Embry asks
"I did" I hear Leah answer but her gaze is on her hands in her lap.
"YOU WHAT?!" Paul screams jumping up from beside her then he starts shaking with anger
"It wasn't my choice Paul! You should know better than anyone considering you imprinted aswell! Since this over can I go now?" Leah says getting up, clearly she has had enough today too
I nod and dismiss everyone, I go hop in the shower before Brooke and her mum get here for the bonfire. I throw on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts before I head back downstairs. I see Emily in the kitchen so I walk behind her and wrap my arms around her before I kiss her gently on the cheek. I feel her smile before kissing me on the cheek.
"You have quite a day today haven't you?" she asks as she finishes decorating the last cupcake.
"Mm, it sure has been hectic with the new treaty with the leeches, Brooke coming here, Leah imprinting on Brooke and now I know Brooke is going to phase one of these days it has me worried." I say helping her clean up the kitchen
"What are you going to do?" she asks as we finish cleaning up the mess
"I don't know, probably let it all unfold by itself…I mean what will be will be, I can't control that" I say just as I hear a footsteps approaching the house
"I think that is a good plan Sam" Emily says going upstairs to get ready, just as someone knocks on the door
I answer it to find Brooke and Her mum standing there.
I hope tonight doesnt blow up in my face
