Chris's POV
Now I may be new to this group but I wasn't stupid. While we were wolves, I could hear Quil's thoughts and they weren't of me. They were of Embry. Now I may be fourteen but my mother always said I was born with a thirty five year old mouth.
When me and Quil stopped the next time it was by a small spot of tide pools. When we shifted back I didn't waste time.
"So Quil how long have you liked Embry?" what was best was that he didn't even try to get around it. "A few years…..he doesn't like me back though. You should hear how he talks about this girl at our school. It makes me wanna gag….."
I nodded sighing and I sniffed the air. Speak of the devil. Embry was coming. I was pretty sure the only smell Quil was getting was the blood that had come out from his nose from when Jacob punched him so he couldn't tell.
I took the next move and spoke rather loudly. "So you don't think Embry likes you? That must be torture, having feelings for someone who would never like you back." I noticed Embry frozen from shock as it looked like he had just come walking out of the trees and heard me. I also noted that I was in much of the same predicament as I had just described.
My eyes locked on him and he shrunk back form me a bit but remained there to listen. "Yah, I have liked him for a few years up until the wolf thing happened then we got separated for a while…..now hes back though and I can't help my feelings. I'm just thankful Sam hasn't told him. Sam's the only one who knew. I just wish he would……" he never finished his sentence but turned away from me towards the ocean and I knew he was crying.
Embry looked stricken. I sighed and gestured from him to Quil and he looked at me a few seconds before nodding and walking towards Quil. When he layed his hand on Quil's shoulder Quil must of thought it was still me but when he saw the darker tan skin he turned around quickly only to be intercepted by Embry's lips.
I smiled at the scene. Wow, I think that's a record, boyfriend one day, then I help him get a new man. I'm on a roll today. I chuckled to myself before I sent a mental message to Sam. I am gonna go visit Bella if its not a problem with you.
His answer was rather fierce. I don't think that's a good idea with the blood suckers and all. I chuckled over the link, don't worry I'll be fine I'm friends with one of them already, this Alice figure. I'll be fine, see you later Sam.
Jacobs POV
Not good, not good, he was going towards Forks. Probably to visit Bella or one of the blood suckers. I paced back and forward trying to figure out what to do. I knew If I went then one of the blood suckers would smell me and tell him I was there, but if I didn't he could get hurt…
I whined softly my pacing becoming more frantic. Finally I decided I didn't care. Why should i? I barely know him! I'm going home….
I took off towards my house but I noticed how my feet had this odd pull in the other direction.
Chris's POV
The trip to Forks was short and I went back to the small meadow sniffing the air and catching the scent of Bella and the vampires. Their smell, though slightly irritating, wasn't that bad really, it had just surprised me last time.
I set off at a fast pace running with all my might and loving every second of it as I practicly flew over the ground. I was running full tilt when I burst into a large clearing with a large white house in the middle.
By the smell of it this was where they lived, so I backed back into the trees and shifted back tying my furs around my waist and pulling on my fur boots. I then walked up happily and knocked on the door. It was open less then two seconds later and the beautiful blond girl was staring at me with some anger though I could tell my smell wasn't as bad to them as the others were.
I wasn't surprised when Alice came down the stairs and bounded right up to me and gave me a hug. Rosalie looked completely dumbfounded for one of them to get so close to a werewolf but I wasn't surprised. Alice knew I was no threat.
"Hey Alice I was planning to vist Bella or one of you, but I didn't just wanna barge in, that would probably start a fight….." she smiled then looked at my clothes and gasped in horror then she disappeared up the stairs and was back in less then a second calling out into the house. "Bella come on! We've got a fashion disaster to save here! But first let me go grab you something else to wear in public, your about Edwards size…."
She was gone and back in a flash and handed me a pair of black jeans then pulled a shirt out of a box along with a jacket. "I can't believe he never wore these….." she threw a tight black shirt that clung tightly to me and a black leather jacket.
I walked into a small room and changed quickly and looked over myself. These were clothes I had never really worn before, but I will say they were a lot more comfortable then furs.
When I walked back out Alice was attacking me again and had gel that she was using in my hair. Her hands moved like lightning and finally when she was satisfied I looked in the mirror to see my hair was now somewhere between being spiked and looking like I had just woken up. It looked nice though.
When I walked back out the front door Bella was there, she looked over me once then whistled. "You clean up nice." I smiled brightly and Alice grabbed me again dragging me towards a small yellow car that struck me as very fast.
She scooted me into the back seat and Bella got in the passenger seat then I was clinging onto the chair as if I were gonna die. Alice drove so fast it was insane. I was relieved to see Bella looking uncomfortable as well. I decided to glue my eyes to the back of Bella's chair since looking out the window was making my nauseous.
Bella turned in her seat to where she was facing me and started to chat animatedly. "So Chris you've never lived in a city before?" I shook my head. "How did the pack accept you in?" my smile faltered a bit.
"Oh they were great up until Jacob started to imprint on me, and me on him. He however refused the imprint and whenever we see each other its very uncomfortable. They said I was small for my wolf size, fed me good though, I had a less then 24 hour relationship with one of them. I am living in the Black garage."
I tried to put smaller facts around the one big one but I got no where when Bellas eyes bulged. I just sighed, "I don't wanna talk about it okay?" she nodded, but I could see the questions bursting to come out of her.
I was being driven to the boundry, trying to imagine how I was possibly gonna carry all these clothes Alice had got me. I had over 12 VERY large bags. When we finally did reach the boundry, Alice and Bella gave me a hug before they hopped into the car and they disappeared in a blurry movement.
I let out a sigh, then began the walk to the small garage I inhabited, I'd have to look for my own place fast. It wasn't a long walk, and my new shoes made it a lot more comfortable, something called Vans.
I walked into the garage and looked for a place to sit down all the bags without a threat of grease getting on them. What a challenge….
Jacob's POV
I let out a relieved sigh when I saw him walk up, carrying a armful of bags and he went into the garage. That had been the worst few hours of my life. I kept having all these horrible day dreams that he got there, and they tore him apart, or all slowly drained him.
I let out another long breath before I turned back to the window looking out towards the garage. Through one window I saw Chris putting some bags down then he reached up messing up his hair that had been styled in an odd way. He then reached into one of the bags and pulled out a black muscle shirt, sleeveless. I felt like a stalker, watching him change. Didn't make me wanna look away however, especially when I saw the tanned muscles from his back. I couldn't look away as he stretched his arms up to put the shirt on, every curve in the muscles of his back moved with the motion.
I felt my mouth go dry, I had never felt this….attached with Bella. Shes never had this much effect on me. I was more then a little disappointed when the muscle shirt slipped on, and he moved it around a bit in order to get more comfortable.
I tried to tear my eyes away, just as I saw him grab out a pear of deep black baggy jeans. I turned back to my small living room, taking a few deep breaths.
I tried to think of other things, however it was interrupted by the small knock on my front door. I went and opened it, to my worst nightmare. He stood there in front of me, his sleeveless shirt showed almost as much as it hid, and his pants, though baggy, made his legs look very long. I felt the sudden need to reach forward and touch him, but I instead forced myself to clench my fist behind the door where he couldn't see.
"Do you have any extra pillows or something? I just need something temporary to sleep on, I might be here a week before I can find my own place." I nodded, not trusting my voice if I spoke, how did he seem so calm? Just his presence put me into a fluster, but he seemed fine.
I grabbed the first pillows I saw, and walked back in, holding them as far away from me as possible, trying not to make any physical contact with him.
He grabbed them and started to leave, but I couldn't just let it go like that. "Hows Quil?" I said before I could stop myself.
He stopped, then turned smiling, "Ask him, I wouldn't know, hes with Embry." I didn't wait more then a second on that small note, "So you have no one to go to the bonfire with?" he shrugged, looking away from me, "I don't think I'm going to go at all. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm tired, good night Jacob."
I Watched him through the small window again, realizing this was gonna be a very often visited spot. Every time I caught even the smallest glimpse of Chris I let out a sigh.
Billy came through at one point, looking at me and sighing when I didn't even acknowledge that he was there. I only looked away from the Window when Sam showed up.
"Jacob, we need to talk to you." I turned in my chair, letting out a frustrated breath as I moved away from my little sanctuary. Sam looked at me with cold eyes, which made me want to shrink into a small hole somewhere.
"We think its best if we take Chris to another house, he will have his own house out in one of the Cabins, in the forest. No one is visiting this time of year so he will be happy to have his privacy. We feel that it is best that you and him spend as little time as possible together."
The 'We' by the way was Billy, and a few more of the pack behind his back. I couldn't help but feel a slight constricting in my chest. "It will be fine Sam I promise, besides it better if I try to get used to his presence. If I can spend time with him without feeling the bond, then maybe we can eventually talk to each other normally."
They all seemed to think that over, there was no denying that it was true. If I was ver to get used to Chris's presence, and he get used to mine, then we'd have to be around each other quiet a bit. Sure I was also making an excuse to keep him near, where my eyes could watch him and keep him out of trouble, but its not like I'm gonna tell them that.
Sam looked at me trying to think through another excuse, I could see it in his eyes. "Alright, we can leave him here for a little longer, a week at the most. I'll see you later tonight Jacob, you have rounds tonight."
I nodded, turning back to my little window, only to let out a very high squeak when I saw Chris directly on the other side of the glass, looking strait at me.
I opened the window slowly and he looked at me seeming to think, "So Jacob, do I want to know why you haven't left this spot in almost three hours? It wouldn't be for the fact that it can see in the garage can it?"
I gaped at him, this kid was good….
He looked at me a few moments longer, before a very smug grin showed on his face. He climbed through the window gracefully, and plopped down beside me. he held his hand out to me, a sign of truce.
"I think both of us get the message theres obviously something wrong with us for us to be imprinting on each other, it will be easier, if we just try our best to ignore every single urge from the imprint, and be normal, friends. Agreed?"
I stared at the hand, for some reason those words…hurt a bit. But I took it without hesitation.
"Of course."
Pure lies, all of it.
Chris's POV
I walked out of the Black house feeling like a weight was lifted from me shoulder, and I looked out towards all the trees. In a second I was running, always running, as my white wolf form.
Running was a beautiful thing, it's a freedom that can't really be contained.
My paws beat against the ground, my heart already almost matching their rhythm, but I pushed further, making myself push even past what was usually my top speed. The wind through my fur felt like heaven, like a hand running through silk.
Running was a release, it was my way of taking out all my stress, without killing something. My mind jumped back to Jacob however, as soon as I started to relax.
He was never out of my mind. It didn't matter how much I wanted to exclude him from my mind, he seemed to jump back in at random times. I growled deep in my throat and rethought about the whole running to relieve stress.
I need something to pummel the shit out of.
Preferably something small and cute.
