Jacob felt every muscle in his body tense as he heard her approach. He straightened up and wiped the grease off his hands.

"Hello Grace"

"How'd you know it was me?"

Jacob sighed. He turned to face her, and closed the gap between them. He picked up her left hand and placed it over her heart, and placed her right hand over his own.

"I knew it was you, because your heart beats in synch with mine."

"Wow, I never could have imagined the most romantic thing anyone would ever say to me, would be said with such hostility and disdain. You don't even know me, we've never even spoken. Plus I am not the WEREWOLF who claims we are cosmically meant for each other!"

Jacob could feel his blood began to boil. This was not how it was meant to be.

"Do you have any concept what my life is like!? Without warning, and totally out of my control, I became what most people consider to be a monster, and that there's no way to stop it. Then they tell me, my soulmate is predetermined. That the most important decision of my life is out of my control. But I blow it off because I knew it was Bella. Even if my world hadn't stopped turning because of her, it didn't matter. She was it, and she would be mine, because she was going to realize i was the one for her, not that filthy bloodsucker."

At this point Jacob's fists were clenched and as he ranted he was forcing Gracie right out of the garage.

"Then I walk into her graduation party and it happens . Everything becomes about this girl in the center of room. I have the overwhelming need to protect her from everything and a passion so strong, I think i'm going to crawl right out of my own skin. I had been right, and Bella, the girl i knew better than anyone else, was meant to be mine. It was destined. But no, yet again I have no control over my own life. And this girl I imprinted on, her twin sister hasn't ever mentioned her to anyone important in her life, even the bloodsucker she wants to take away her humanity. Doesn't that seem suspect? I mean what's wrong with this girl. Is she a bitch? a slut? a liar? I know nothing about you, and i'm supposed to give myself over to you heart and soul. I don't know what went wrong, but I am meant to be with Bella."

Graces eyes threatened to pour over with tears.

"Well Bella doesn't want you, and she never will. All I came here to do was meet you. You're right I have no concept of what your life is like. Nor do you know a thing about mine. And trust me, now, you never will. I feel no overwhelming passion, just disgust that your god or gods, whatever, could be so cruel as to destine me to be with a dog like you."

With that Grace turned on her heel and ran as fast as her feet would carry her.

Jacob picked up his fist and slammed it into the wall with all the strength he could muster.
