"Yes. I have imprinted on someone."
Emotions overwhelm my mind. He has another girl in his life, someone that Jake loves more than he loves me. I feel mad, and terrified. I don't know if I want to meet this lover of Jacob's. I love him, and he should love me back, not love some other girl who doesn't deserve him.
"Ness, she's my life. She's the most beautiful person on Earth and I love her more than anything." Jake looks at me hopefully, as if he thinks I'm okay with this.
"Who is she?" I whisper softly. "Do I know her? How long have you been imprinted on her? Does she know about it?"
He smiles as if I just told a very funny joke. "You know her alright. I imprinted on her the day you were born. And she does not know about it. Yet." He chuckles softly.
"Well whoever she is, she doesn't deserve you. Why didn't you tell me before? I got my hopes up for nothing!" Suddenly I don't want to know who this perfect girl is. I don't want to see her in town and know that she's my best friend's imprintee. It makes me sick that I've had a crush on Jacob for a year and he never loved me the way I love him. He'll never love me that way.
I stand up and begin to run away from him. I know it's a cowardly way to avoid my problems, but I can't bear seeing Jacob and know that he will never love me. I run to the big house and shut myself in my parents' room. I collapse in the king-sized bed in the middle of the room and cry until I can't cry anymore. When my dad tries to come in, I tell him to go away. I do the same with every family member until my mom softly knocks on my door. I'm exhausted and I need someone to talk to, so I let her in.
I can tell immediately that Dad's told her why I'm upset. She looks at me miserably, and it's as if my pain is hers too.
"I understand sweetheart. Believe it or not, Edward did the same thing to me once. I know how you feel." But she's wrong. Nobody knows how I feel. And then when she tells me it will be alright, I want to puke. Things will never be alright. At least not between me and Jacob Black, that son of a bitch.
My dad can hear how mad I am through my thoughts. I can hear him talking to the mutt downstairs and I know that Jacob's begging to see me. Soon after, we hear a quiet knock on my door. My mother gets up and leaves. Jacob takes her place.
"I'm sorry Ness," he says solemnly.
I ignore him.
"Nessie, you'll feel different when you know who I imprinted on."
Yeah right. "I'll never feel different. She'll never deserve someone like you," I mumble.
Jake sighs. "Ness, I imprinted on you."
I go numb as his words sink in. Me? He imprinted on me?
"Nessie, you're my imprint." He repeats his statement to make himself clear.
These four words fill my mind, and however hard I try, I can't forget them. The only boy I've ever liked, my brother, my best friend, is now the answer to all of my problems. My mind is filled with emotions, hurt, shock, love, betrayal, relief, and they're all jumbled up inside my big fat head. Why did it have to come down to this? I mean, I'm thrilled and everything, but why is he telling me this now?
A/N- I suck at writing stuff quickly. I'm so sorry that it took this long to write a 600 word long chapter. I've been sick since Thursday though, so I had an excuse not to write. I only have 5 reviews! Does nobody like this? If nobody reviews, I'm going to quit this. Just a warning.
