Chapter7.
"I'll see you tonight?" he said to me as he walked me to my door, his arm around my waist, I couldn't stop smiling all night. He came closer as he placed his sweet lips to mine one last time, until later on that isJ. "Love you Cleo" he whispered against my ear and my heart fluttered "Love you too Jake".
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN YOUNG LADY?" my mother demanded from her bedroom door when I tried to sneak up the stairs 6:00 o'clock in the morning. I swore I can feel myself tense up and catch a lump in my throat.
"Can we talk about this later mom Please?"I pleaded, I was in a way to happy mood and very exhausted
"No, we will discuss this now?"
I looked up at her "Mom please; I promise to tell you everything ok" she looked at me one final time
"Alright then"
"Did you have a place to stay the night?" she asked
"Yes, I was perfectly safe" I said In Jake's arms I thought to myself and smiled.
I went to my room and crashed right on my bed, I turned over and screamed happily into my pillow, I felt like a little kid excited that the ice cream truck is coming. My heart still races just thinking about him, thinking about everything that went on last night between us. If my mom thinks she's getting the whole story she is sadly mistaken. Don't get me wrong I will tell her I was running and I bumped into Jake but not what happened last night and yesterday afternoon.
My head started to get very comfortable on my pillow and I dozed off into sleep.
A Knock on my door awoke me later on in the day.
"Honey…" I heard my mother say quietly opening my door
"Yeaaa…." I managed to mumble from my pillow covering my head .
"Paul's here to see you?"
My eyes shut up opening immediately, OH FUCK…FUCK…FUCK… I repeated in my head getting up from bed in record time. I was so nervous I can't believe I forgot about Paul, my boyfriend Paul, and I slept with his best friend when I told him I wasn't ready for us Oh My God I'm so Fucked Up, this cannot be happening and as soon I said this Paul walked through my bedroom door.
I looked to him and he looked back, he had no emotion on his face, I couldn't tell if he was mad or not, I didn't know if he knew about what happened or not.
"I have to go to work, I'll see you tonight ok Cc"
"Okay, mom" not even looking at her, she walked out but she came back in
"Ohh and Your Grounded so don't think about leaving" she said with a little smirk on her face
"Yes Mom" I said I couldn't really be too pissed I kinda knew that would happen.
There was silence for a few minutes until I couldn't take it anymore
"Paul" I started very nervous and hesitant, I didn't know what he would say he just stood at my door with his arms crossing his chest.
"WHY" he says harshly
"Paul let me explain" I started but he cut me off before I made another word
"Why, how could you?"
"Paul?" I started to get up from the bed my heart was breaking from his sadness he was now showing, I can't believe I cheated on him.
"Do you know how worried your mom was about you?" he stepped away from me looking angry
"Everybody was looking for you, we searched almost all night, I haven't slept" he spat at me angry spilling through his teeth
My heart and my body gave in, I cried.
"I'm Sorry; I didn't mean too" he came to my side in a instant
"Dia baby don't cry, I'm sorry I shouldn't have yell at you like that, I was just worried; I thought something happened to you" wrapping his strong arms around me. I cried even more. I was in the arms of a man that I cheated on and he didn't do anything wrong to me.
"B -But Paul-"I started but he wouldn't allow it
"Shh, it's ok"
"It was my fault you left anyway, and I'm sorry for what I did; I shouldn't have touch you like that"
I looked up at him, how can he be sorry, if I'm the one that did the ultimate crime the one thing I know for a fact I am totally against.
"Paul"
"Shh enough; no more talking about this" he said helping me to my feet, I looked up at him and he smiled, he connected our bodies together and landed his lips to mine, I couldn't help it my heart and my body accept his invitation.
I didn't understand what was going on my body was enjoying everything he was doing to me, I forgotten about everything we were talking about when I felt his lips travel down on my neck. His arm wrapping around my waist tighter, he started to suck down on my neck where my pulse was it felt so good it excited my body even more and I lost all control.
I tore at his shirt ripping every button, touching his chest I looked up at him, and he looked at little surprised at my actions, I smiled and kissed him fiercely and full of lust, he grabbed my legs and lifted me to his waist, I grabbed around his neck intertwining my fingers through his hair. I left something soft on my back and I broke apart to see I was laid on my bed and Paul towering over me.
His body heat radiated with mine and the heat was overwhelming sucking me into this deep passion and sexual state, his mouth back on my body kissing me all over, his lips were so soft and tender, I can feel all the lust and desire from him, it excited me more.
"I Want you" I whispered, and that's all it took.
***********
Jake's POV
This is so great I got my Cleo back with me now where she belongs, and Paul can't do anything to stop it. He can shove his cockiness up his ass. Last night with Claudia was incredible it was the best night of my entire life. When I seen Claudia in the forest on our birthday I was so shocked I thought for sure she was with Paul, just looking at her she was gorgeous, she looked different now yes, but even before all this she was beautiful. The way her eyes were was outstanding. I noticed when she was really happy the swirls in her eyes would move in a circular motion, when I would look at it I felt like I was getting hypnotized.
When I got home after I dropped off Claudia at her place, my dad had the biggest smile on his face. He wasn't home last night since him, Charlie, and Harry went fishing after the party.
"What's up Dad?" I asked since it's the first time I seen him since my birthday in the morning.
"I should be saying the same thing to you my boy" he said happily his voice sounding a little too eager.
"You okay dad your acting a little funny" I said getting a bowl from the cupboard
"Ohh I'm just Peachy"
I looked at him did he just say "Peachy"
I started to laugh, "Dad do you know what you just said; you actually said PEACHY"
"Ohh I know;" "Soo Son how was your night?"
"Fine" I smiled getting the cereal my face hidden from his view
"that's good; did anything…ohh I don't know interesting happen?" he said his voice sounding very sneaky
"Nope, nothing that I know of" I said trying not to give away the fact that I had Claudia over last night, I finished pouring the milk into my bowl and turned to look at my father.
"Really then when did you plan on telling me you wear bras?" I choked on my cereal as my father was holding up a pink lace bra that in fact Claudia was wearing last night before I took it off, looking at my father dangling the fabric in his hands in front of me
"Dad I can explain" I started to panic
He lifted his hand to stop me "Explain what Jake, You got your girl and that's all that matters"; "But next time don't let her leave her stuff here for someone to accidently find; you're lucky I seen it before Harry or Charlie this morning."
"Sorry dad" and left to my room.
Claudia's POV
What the fuck is wrong with me? Why am I doing this to myself? Why am I doing this to Jake and Paul this is not right? I kept thinking drastically my mind was everywhere; my heart is being torn by my own actions. I Love Paul and I love Jake.
After I woke up this afternoon after what happened between me and Paul I had to get out of the house, my mom didn't allow it of course when I called her at work. But I still left anyways I had to get out of the house I couldn't stay there much longer, if I get grounded for the rest of my life so be it; I'll pay the consequences later.
I headed to the one place I know and I could trust with anything, nobody knows that I have a special connection with him, since we always pretend that we don't like each other; I had a flashback not long before and when I had it I went straight to him he helped me with certain things and kept me straight.
I came to the house and luckily he was there working on his bike, it didn't seem like anybody was home either which is perfect because I didn't want anybody to hear anything that were gonna say.
"I really need your help" I said
"I know I can feel you all the way down the drive way"
"Sorry…is anybody else here" I said looking around
"No; they all went out they won't be back till tonight"
"We can go inside and talk ok" he said us both wrinkling our noses
We headed inside the house and sat at the couches.
"Jasper, I screwed up really really bad" looking down at my hands my emotions were going over board
"Claudia you have to calm down your emotions are overwhelming"
"You're emotions are going over boarding; and your eyes keep changing color….Holy shit Your eyes there; there changing colors."
"What you mean" Jasper got up and at vampire speed up the stairs and grabbed Alice's mirror
"Here Look" he said he's eyes wide "I've never seen anything like it before"
I looked into the mirror and no doubt my eyes were changing to Black, to Amber and Amber-green, to brown, to red, to White and back again, I know I was feeling a lot of emotions right now but this is way too weird for my eyes to actually change color to how I am feeling.
"Darlin' can I calm you please, I can feel every emotion your feeling and I really don't know if I can take much more" I looked toward Jasper and he was right he looked so restless I can see his veins popping out of his head from the tension.
"Yea of course, Sorry Jasper" I started to feel a calm wave over power my body and I felt relaxed I closed my eyes at the wonderful feeling that I haven't felt since last night….Oh Shit Last Night I traumatized myself at the realization of my being here and Jasper felt it
"Claudia what's wrong with you?; why do you feel traumatized?" he looked at me concerned but very confused
"Jasper I FUCKED UP; REALLY FUCKED UP?"
"What happened?"
I took a deep breath before I spoke "I had sex with Paul this morning" I blurred it out not even hesitating and I look to jasper was concentrating on something.
"Okay, So why are you so worried and why do you feel so guilty; aren't you guys dating" he asked skeptical and confused
"Jasper…Yesterday I ran into Jake after I ran from the Party and something happened I don't know what it was but something was pulling us together and-" he cut me off
"Is that where you've been all last night" getting up from beside me, I couldn't even bring myself to look up at my friend.
"I guess you were one of the people trying to look for me huh"
"Well Yea of course, nobody knew what happened to you; we looked everywhere"
"Can I finish my story now, I'm already grounded and now more grounded since I'm not even suppose to be out of the house right now" he sat down again "You're right; go ahead"
"Anyways; when I saw Jake something happened; like don't get me wrong I didn't even know him at first but something was telling me it was alright that I was safe." I told Jasper everything about what happened between me and Jake and how my feelings for him were so deep and powerful, what happened this morning between me and Paul and how strong that passion was; and seriously he looked more confused about the Paul situation then my situation with Jake.
"Well; what do you think I should do" I said after awhile of sitting in silence while Jasper thought, I couldn't take the silence any longer, he put on a smirk, and I knew he was holding back talking so I would get aggravated he always did this to me when we would talk serious.
"Eh Stopping being an Ass Cowboy" I said and he laughed
"Fine, you really wanna hear what I have to say" he sat up and put his elbows on his knees
"Definitely" I replied
"Well I think you should go with Jake" he said looking at me like it was nothing to him.
"Anddddd; your reason for that?" I asked
"Well look at Emily and Sam their happy as hell" I looked toward him, What the hell does Emily and Sam's relationship have to do with my situation
"Don't look at me all confused Claudia; You know Sam imprinted and Emily and how powerful the imprint is"
I froze IMPRINT, I'm not imprinted on Paul didn't imprint; he better not have; I want nothing to do with Imprinting
"So; Paul didn't imprint or he would of told me" I look to jasper for comfort on it but he only looked at me
"Paul didn't imprint you Claudia; Jake did"
I completely at a loss for words my brain wasn't even fully functional, I Do Not Want To Be a Imprint, Imprints are nothing they are a complete blind brick wall that covers a person's feelings; to me it doesn't show the real feelings within. I started to feel anger inside of me.
"Don't be mad, Look at how happy Emily is and she was imprinted by Sam" I looked up at my friend frustrated.
"I don't want to be imprinted Jasper, Emily can believe whatever thing she wants but I DO NOT believe imprinting is the right way" I had to leave; I can feel my body was starting to shake and over heat
"I gotta go; I'll talk to you later" I said getting up from the sit and walking towards the door
"Claudia wait" he came to my side "Just give it a try; don't throw the dog away because of something you don't believe in" I looked at him and I laughed
"Hey I'm a Dog now too Leech" We smiled and I left.
I phased right away when I hit the forest and took off back home before my mom figured out I was gone.
I got home sneaking in the back door, I sounded like no one was home so I felt safe. I tiptoed to the hallway to look into the living room if anyone was home; Nothing. I went to the stairs; Not a sound. Perfect. I headed toward the kitchen to grab myself a glass of orange juice, I opened the Fridge and started to rummage through it.
"You Do Know That Your Grounded?" I heard a voice say and I paused right where I was. I thought no one was home, I didn't hear anything, Stupid wolf ears didn't do shit.
"You're not gonna tell are you" closing the fridge door and facing my Brother.
"Umm…I was thinking about it"
"Oh come on J don't be a Fuzzball about it; if you knew what I was- Wait" I thought for a moment does he know that Jake imprinted, I look at my brother
"Jared did you know Jake imprinted on me?" I asked with a little anger coming through
He stood there for a moment staring at me, "JARED" I yelled; he flinched at my sudden outburst "Ok; Yes I knew Sam told us when you were in the hospital; but Jake didn't know until later on and then he took off"
"Who told you all this" he asked
"Don't worry about it" I said he didn't know who told me; it was the matter of fact that I now know.
"Who else knows about this" I asked
"Let's sit" he said pulling out two chairs at the table
"No I'm fine; Who Else?" my patience is wearing off and I can feel my hands clutching the kitchen counter very tightly , I think my nails are dug into the bottom it, I bet if I can rip it out if I really wanted too.
He sat in the chair and looked up at me, "Sam was the first to notice that Jake had imprinted about 3 days after your jump; and then I guess he told Emily and she told Bella which at my guess told Edward, and maybe the rest of the Cullen's know, but who knows" I was shocked at this point some many people knew and didn't even mention nothing to me. He continued.
"Same told me not long afterwards but I already knew Jake was in love with you" he said with a smile on his face, but I did not have one
"He does not love me Jared; It's an Imprint it's blinding him from true love with someone he is meant for" Jared was about to open his mouth to speak but I cut him off I wasn't done talking
"I don't care what you say I'm not going to be someone Imprint because of our stupid legends say that; It's all a lie I will fight my feelings with I have" I began to sob knowing I have to leave Jake, so he can find his actual true love and not a product of a mystical feeling.
"Cc you can't do that" Jared getting up off the seat and coming right in front of me
"it'll kill you both to stay away from each other, Jake really loves you Cc" "he hugged me
"NO J" I tried to push back but my crying state didn't help at all. "Cc Please" I cried and cried into his chest and fell asleep.
************
Jared's POV
I couldn't believe my ears when my sister said she will fight against the imprint and give Jake a normal life; but his life is with her, even before the imprint happened Jake was in love with her. There was no denying that; but my sister doesn't consult with Imprinting and I knew this from long ago from our old conversations we had, especially when we found out Emily got imprinted on by Sam and She literally freaked out when we talked, she couldn't believe Emily was falling for a hoax, Claudia has never seen eye to eye about it.
I had to go see Jake and tell him that my sister is freaking out about the imprint, and that she's going to leave him If he doesn't convince her otherwise about it. I feared that she will torture herself to the point that she'll leave and never return. I know when she says something she won't go back down on it. But this…This will kill her heart definitely.
I got to Jake's place in no time at all, concerned for my best friend and my sisters happiness I have to do something about this. I heard yelling form inside the house, it sounded like a fight was about to break out, I got closer to the door
CRACKKKKKKKKK SMMAASHHHH
The door went flying off the hinges from the house and two bodies going with it, Jake and Paul were at each other's throats when I seen them Paul and Jake were beating each other senseless.
"GUYS STOP; YOUR GOING TO KILL EACHOTHER" I yelled trying to get in between them but they were too into their fighting, Paul and Jake Smashing fists at each other, I heard Paul speak when I finally got in between both my two best friends the two men who are in love with my Sister. How I get myself into these things I'll never know?
"You fucked with her head; she should have been with me last night"
"Last night" I said; was that where my sister was…with Jake.
"Don't matter; she belongs with me and it'll remain like that"
"In your dreams Jake; We've both been together for almost 4 years now; she won't break that; not for you" I can feel Jake starting to shake under my palm, I saw Paul start to turn and leave but Jake spoke aloud
"Don't worry Paul My IMPRINT Loved every minute last night? He said and Paul turned he had a smirk on his face
"That's funny; that's not what she said when we had sex this morning?" he turned and left phasing
"WHATTTT" Jake screaming trying to get pass me to get Paul, "Whoa Jake; Relax he's gone; there's nothing you can do"
"What do you mean; he's lying right; your sister didn't have sex with him did she" I looked toward Jake and he was panicking and I couldn't honestly answer him
"I really don't know I just got home not long ago; Plus What the hell was my sister doing with you last night; we looked for her everywhere; we thought something happened to her?" he about to open his mouth but I already knew what the answer was and I really really didn't want to hear it.
"You know what; I don't wanna know"
"I'm here to warn you anyways?"
"Why what's going on?; Is Your Sister Ok?"he hesitated a bit I can see the concern for her in his eyes
"Yes and no" I said being very honest with him
"Jared what are you talking about" He started to head for the house and pick up the pieces of the door to throw in the garage
"Jake Cc gonna fight the imprint?" he stopped suddenly and turned to face me, "What; What you talking about Jared, She loves me"
"Yes I know that, but She against Imprinting; she was so Angry and Depressed"
"I don't understand why would she be depressed about imprinting?"
"Jake her eyes were going haywire when I was talking to her?"
"Jared I can't lose your sister; she's everything to me; I can't live without her"
"I have to go see her" he said about to run away from me but I stopped him putting a hand on his shoulder
"Jake you can't she fell asleep crying, I came here to tell you she's planning to give you a normal life and not an imprint mistake"
"But…I have to see her" was all he said I can feel all the sadness coming from him, I felt depressed knowing my sister will put up with the torture.
