Chapter Four: New Imprint, Old Love.
As comfortable as Alice made me feel, I never could tell her I imprinted on Sam. I know she'd try to keep it a secret, but she eventually won't. Why? It's because she has thoughts. Who hears thoughts that are none of his business? Edward does.
So there was only one person I could talk to about this. As weird as this situation is, I am going to be talking to Bella about this.
I laughed to myself at the irony. One day ago, I was head over heels in love with Bella. Now? I am on my way to her house to ask for her advice on my new imprint.
"Jacob," she said, opening the door absolutely surprised to see me. "Come in," she said, pushing the door wide open. We sat down on the couch. I felt uneven, because this conversation was going to be awkward no matter how I spit it out. She was obviously nervous. Alice told me that Bella was feeling really bad about dinner. I needed to make her know that I was okay with everything. Actually, I needed her to know that I was okay everything relating her and Edward.
Bella took a deep sigh. She looked like she was going to cough up an apology, but before she could speak I hugged her. It felt good hugging her, but for the first time in a long time, it was just friendly good. As confusing as it was to imprint on Sam, I had to at least smile to myself that I can be there for Bella, as a friend, as someone that will never leave her now. She was my best friend.
Then, I started talking.
"Jacob, I'll love you no matter what. No matter who you love, or what you love, you'll always have me," Bella told me the moment I was done with telling her everything. "I can't tell you what to do right now, but I think you should do what feels right. Not up here," she said pointing to my head, "but down here," she continued as she moved her index finger to my heart.
She was right. I needed to do what I felt was right; and if that was the case, Sam will soon be freaked out by knowing that one of his pack members has a crush on him. One of his male pack members, that is.
I decided I was going to tell Sam, just not today. I was going to give myself some time until tomorrow. Today was thinking time. I went to the cliff where the pack occasionally dove. As good as it was for a dive, it was even better for some good old thinking.
Hours passed by and there was nothing but me and the sound of the beach, until the scent of a newborn interrupted everything. The smell of a newborn vampire is very strong, and it rushed into my nose like water into a drain. I looked around when I finally spotted the source. Two newborns were on our territory. I was alone, but this was a fight I knew I had to take, especially since they caught on to my scent. I took a deep breath before changing to my wolf form, and then I attacked.
