Jacob POV
This is the fucking last time I let Leah ride in the same car as me, next time she will have to be with Seth. I can't take her fucking comments let alone I have to hear her thoughts, when we phase. Every since I thought Bella died, I couldn't handle being around the pack. Then out of no where I realized I was an Alpha and was no longer connected to Sam's pack. Then Leah and Seth came along because they didn't agree with Sam and his thoughts. Well, that's how Seth felt, Leah just didn't want to be around Sam any longer than she had to. Leah never liked Bella, or any of the Cullens for that matter but particularly Bella. I never understood why and that's the only thing she hides from me. As I started to tune her out, her nagging became worse.
"Do you hear me Jacob? What's the point of you going to see her? You can't be with her? She is a vampire Jacob. Sometimes I just wish you had more sense, your just going to get your heart broken. We should have just stayed in La Push so you could have found an imprint, at least then you would have been happy.", Leah said
She never seemed to shut up! I had to relax because I didn't want to phase in the car. I gritted my teeth.
"Listen Leah, I don't need an imprint. And you know as well as I do that I'm completely over Bella I just want my best friend back. I understand that our kinds aren't supposed to be together, but I can't explain it I feel like I need to be here. ", I seethed
I stopped the car and Seth stopped behind me. I unlocked the doors and got out of the car leaving the keys inside. I needed to clear my head, and both Seth and Leah knew not to follow me. Leah just makes me so angry and I hate it. I noticed I was in town, so I walked along the side walk until I arrived at a park. I didn't understand why I needed an imprint, I don't need to feel anymore like a slave than I already am. I noticed a girl standing by herself, I was coming up from her left and the wind blew her scent towards me. It was like nothing I ever smelled and she looked beautiful with her dark black hair and nice olive tone. She smelled sort of like lavenders and lilies, but not too strong. Before I knew it I was standing next to her.
"So what is someone like you standing by yourself all sad?", I asked
When she turned towards me. She had these beautiful green eyes and very light freckles. I felt like everything in the world didn't matter, but to make her happy and to keep her safe. I wanted nothing but to see her smile and be the reason behind it.
"I just wanted to take a walk and think a little.", she answered
"Would you mind some company?", I wondered
"I don't even know your name.", she said
"Black, Jacob Black.", I introduced
"Polhemus, Arianna Polhemus.", she smiled
*A few hours later*
I met up with Seth and Leah. Leah stepped up to me and hugged me.
"We were worried sick! I thought something happened.", Leah said
I just looked at Seth, who shrugged. Something is really wrong with her.
"I'm fine, Leah. Please just relax you just can't ride with me in the car to the Cullens", I said soothingly
She nodded, then sniffed a little at me.
"You smell different, sort of like lavenders?", she said questioningly
I didn't respond, I just got into my car and waited for Seth to start his. We drove up to the Cullens , no surprise about the house. I knocked on the door, and Emmett answered. I wasn't expecting him to open the door but hey. I looked up and saw her. It was Arianna, it was kind of weird that I still had the teddy bear, but I had a feeling I was going to see her. I walked past Emmett and met her in the middle. I handed her the teddy bear. After we exchanged words.
"How do you two know each other Jake?", Bella asked
I didn't really want to answer the question. But Leah ruined it all for me, of course. She started growling, I guess she realized Arianna's smell. I turned around to her.
"Leah stop ...", I started
"Really Jacob, how could you?", she asked
"What do you mean how? I can't control something like this.", I said
I was starting to get mad, Leah is always upset about something.
"Jacob but her?", Leah asked
That's when Arianna stepped in. She put her hand on my back and came around to my front. She looked up at me with those very inviting green eyes. I instantly stopped shaking, I couldn't put her in danger
"Jacob what's wrong? What is she talking about?", she wondered
Leah started growling more, everyone in the house shifted into a defensive stance except, Seth, myself and Arianna.
"She is talking about how you are my imprint.", I shrugged
Bella gasped, she clearly remembered the story I told her and that's when Leah lunged for Arianna, but she didn't even flinch. Before Leah made it to her, she was on the ground shaking violently. I looked down at Arianna, her eyes had this slight gray tint to it.
"What does that mean?", she asked
"I will be anything you need or want, because we are destined to be together, I couldn't leave you not that I would ever want to in the first place.", I said
I did have a question.
"How are you doing that to her?", I asked
"Well, I just stopped her from phasing, she is sort of stuck in this limbo not fully human and not completely changed.", she explained
All of a sudden Leah stopped shaking. And everyone relaxed except Leah, she left and went off into the woods, Seth followed suit.
"Jake, can I talk to you?", Bella asked
Arianna walked away from me, and I missed her heat near me. Which was weird because for me to feel her heat, she would have to be burning up. Emmett went over by Arianna and asked if she wanted to play video games. Bella and I let out of the house and walked until we were out of hearing distance.
"So you and Ari?", she said absently
"Yea, it's nothing I can control Bella. I like her but I don't see her in that way. She is just my friend.", I said honestly
I didn't look at her in that way, I thought she was pretty of course any one with common sense could see that.
"Well, I called you because I want you to know I was okay. And that I wanted to be friends again even if we are sworn enemies.", she laughed
"I would like that also, Bella.", I agreed
