Okay, I know I have been gone for months and I apologize but I'm in college and trying to transfer and was pretty much swamped. So for those that are still out there reading my stories, I thank you and apologize. I'll try to upload as soon as possible.

Heartbreak Warfare

(Jacob's Eclipse)

Temple

Jacob's POV

It was as if she walked on water the way she sauntered around the side of the muscle ridden vehicle. Her hands slid down into her back pockets showing her wifebeater tucked neatly into her smoke gray jeans that matched her smoke gray eyes. Her burgundy leather jacket flung open matching her burgundy hi-top shoes…We are two completely different people but I will have it no other way. For I know she was becoming my temple, my place of worship, my life, she is my soul mate and I will love her forever. How could I tell her?

"Hey," I choked out.

"Hey," she said in her soft, lullaby of a voice. "So what do you have planned?"

"Um, a walk on the beach and a bonfire later," I answered.

"Okay," she nodded as if trying to convince herself. "What are you working on?"

I knew exactly where she was hinting to as she walked further in the garage. "Nothing, some stuff."

"Covered with sheets, really? Come on you can trust me."

"Okay, okay there ATV's."

"Are they now?" she asked as she arched a brow. My insides tightened, fluttering a bit before I bit into my bottom lip fighting the smile that threatened to reveal me.

"Joss let's think about this, this is dangerous-"

"I'm not Bella and the worse that can happen won't actually hurt that much."

"I-"

"Please," she begged, approaching me as smooth as a feline.

"Okay," I hurriedly replied as the faint touch of her nail against my chest made every thought flee my mind. I guess this is how it feels to have an imprint, no wonder Jared, Quil and Sam act whipped.

"You ready?" asked Joss, grabbing up a helmet and interrupting my reverie. A chuckle growing in my throat, I nodded as I grabbed a matching helmet.

She was always this adventurous; I liked it then as friends, someone to feed my hyper-activeness and I loved it now as whatever exactly we where at this time. As dirt flew under her wheel as we sped around the plain field meeting the forest, I couldn't fight the nostalgia of the last time I was here. Bella nearly split her head open trying to remember him. Grasping onto straws as I said but who cared now as Joss shot me happy smiles as she sped around me. I blinked just as her red ATV shot off in the direction of the forest. As I opened my eyes I saw only her red ATV parked slightly on a broken tree lying on the ground.

"Joss!" I shouted as I flung myself from my black ATV, yanking off my helmet. I knew this was a bad idea.

My mind couldn't keep time as I stared around, circling, attempting to pick up her scent but I couldn't as my mind continued to spin. A figure sprung from the trees.

"Ha!" she yelled, crouching over in laughter.

"That wasn't funny!" I roared as I approached her in a blind rage. Her bright smile began to dim until she looked truly sorry.

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

"Bloodsuckers are out there that want to hurt anyone and everyone and you pull this!"

"I said I'm sorry," she whispered, her gray eyes growing misty.

"You scared the crap out of me," I whispered as her eyes gazed up at me.

Joss's POV

I'd never seen so much panic in someone's eyes before that wasn't a member of my family. That was stupid Joss.

"I'm sorry, I never should have yelled. Joss, I'm so, so sorry."

"It was my fault. I didn't think…"

I hadn't noticed he took off my helmet until his fingertips brushed away my hair, I never felt this close to him. It was a pull, that isn't even good enough to describe it. It was amazing, scary and thrilling…overwhelming, intense and perfect.

As if I'd done it before I wrapped my arms around his back, dropping my chin on his chest. He ran his smooth, yet callused fingers along my jaw as his smooth russet skin and black, short cut hair glistened in the sun.

"What is this…exactly?" I whispered.

"Do you really want to know?" he whispered in his gruff tone as his eyes bore into mine, his large hands now rubbing the sides of my arms.

"Hmm," I replied.

"…Our bond through my imprint on you. You're starting to feel the bond between us because you stopped fighting it. And I just want you to know I'll never hurt you Josslynn. Do you believe me?"

His eyes eager for my response, I smiled as did he when the scent that sung heavenly tunes to many halted only a few feet away. "Jake," I whispered, though he didn't seem to have caught on.

"Sorry," said Bella.

"Its okay," I replied as I slid my hands into my pockets.

"Do they know you're here?" asked Jacob, half of his body facing my direction.

"Yes," she answered defensively.

"You're lying," I said as Jake looked down at me, taken aback.

"I can feel other people's emotions and I can tell if their lying."

"Oh," said Jacob.

"Wow," said Bella. "Kind of like Jasper."

"Yeah, yeah you should be getting back," said Jacob. "You know the risk or does she?"

"She knows."

"Okay you know the risk," said Jacob.

"And Alice is freaking out right about now because she can't see your life with Edward," I added.

"That's too bad because they can't expect me not to see my best friend."

"We have to play it safe Bella," said Jacob.

"What is wrong with you?" asked Bella as she approached us. "What you just don't care at all about me?"

"I'm going to go," I muttered.

"No don't. Bella were friends like you wanted and you've chosen now we'll see each other but it will not be the same. I would have hurt you anyway," said Jacob, taking my hand.

"Your right…If we would have been together…you probably would have imprinted on Joss."

"There is no probably."

We all continued to watch each other as our words sunk in. This could not be a triangle or rhombus for that matter. We let our hearts do the talking but of course we want more or in my case less (drama).

"Can someone take me to the Cullens?" asked Bella.

"Well that will be me," I said.

"Are you…coming back?" asked Jacob, avoiding me with his eyes. As I placed my index and thumb on his chin squeezing it. I donned a soothing smile as he attempted to do the same though his eyes were laced with concern, darting here and there.

"Yes," I answered.

"You better," he replied; smiling an impish smile. Soon I found my hand caressing his russet cheek, his hair, running my fingers through it…

"Okay I'll be back," I said as he just nodded.

I wanted Jacob to stay, not follow me or Bella because the tightening in my stomach was making it harder to breath as I walked away from him. It made no sense to feel this way since I just started feeling this way for him.

Dang imprinting.

"I've never seen you guys like that before," said Bella as I peeled off.

"That's never happened before," I replied.

"It seems like you guys have been together forever."

"Kinda like you and Edward."

"Yeah if only I could convince him not to be so black and white."

"Well he was born in the 1900's."

"Yeah," replied Bella, hopelessly. "I'm sorry."

"Um, for what?" I asked as I sped by a slew of trees.

"I and Jake grew really close some months ago and though I told him we were only going to be friends…I kinda lied. Sometimes I expect him to be there for me and its wrong I know, I just…"

"You're still attached. I know."

"From now on I'm going to accept the boundaries. Everything just happened so suddenly."

"Who are you telling? Well were here," I said; parking in front of the three story white, contemporary house.

"Oh, thank you Joss."

"You're welcome Bella."
