So this chapter wasn't in the original story plan and I am going to warn you that since I have 2 finals in 3 weeks that I might only get in 1 new chapter in the next 3 weeks due to studying. This is my bonus chapter I thought I would give you something extra since you are all such great reviewers!! And I kind of just realized that this story has less than half the chapters than Claire's and it has just as many reviews!! You guys don't know how happy that makes me! Now on with the story!

A Jared/Kim Imprint Story

Chapter 10 Phone Call

Jared was driving me back to my house so I could get my things while my parents weren't there. Sam said that he would drive my, I mean, our grandmother home. It was weird to me to find out that I had a cousin after all these years.

"What are you thinking about?" Jared asked quietly.

"Just how weird it is that Sam's my cousin. I knew who he was, and was kind of mad at him for what he did to Leah, but I guess I understand now."

"He feels really bad about it, and so does Emily. He really beats himself up over it that he can't tell her what's going on."

"How did Emily deal with the imprinting thing? She said she'd tell me another time, but I was just wondering how she coped with it."

"She was really mad at him at first, especially after she saw Leah. Her and Leah had looked for him for about 3 weeks and couldn't find him, then he just appears and can't tell her anything and tells her everything. They got in a fight and he was trying to make her understand, he got mad, phased, and scratched her face, that's where the scars came from. He freaked out and phased back, Emily comforted him and that's when she realized how much he loved her. When she graduated last year, she came down here and moved in with him. He's only been a wolf for about a year," Jared explained.

"Oh," I said, amazed. I'd heard that a bear had attacked her.

"Course, the story here because no body knows about the wolves is that a bear attacked her."

Jared pulled up in front of my house. "Are we going to need to take a second trip?"

"I don't have that much stuff, you've seen my room. I have a tiny dresser and a small closet, and a bed and nightstand in my room. That's it….well, I did hide a few books and magazines in one of the loose floorboards."

"Ok, let's go."

I unlocked the door with the key hidden in the flowerpot next to the door. Jared and I were headed for the stairs when the phone rang. "I'll get it." I ran into the kitchen, "Hello?"

"Kim! You're ok!"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You're dad didn't hurt you yet did he? I'm really sorry! I felt really bad telling your mom that you weren't with me when she called! And when she mentioned Jared, I didn't know what to say! Please tell me he didn't beat you yet?! You can stay at my house, just run away."

"Heather, I can't talk right now. I have to go. Never call me here again, ok? I call you later, but I really have to go before they get home. I'll explain everything later promise. Now's not the best time though. Please don't get mad at me for this?"

"They aren't home? And what do you mean never call you there again? What's going on?!" she demanded.

"No they aren't, and I said I'd explain later, right? I will. If not, you can drag me out of school tomorrow to get your answers, ok?"

"Ya, just promise me one thing…"

"What?"

"Don't get killed ok?"

"Why would I get killed?"

"Just promise, please?"

"Fine Heather, I won't get killed. Now I have to go. Talk to you later."

"Bye."

Jared was carrying stuff out to my car for me. "You okay, Kimmy?"

"Ya, I just have to think of a way to explain everything before I tell her anything."

"I got everything, I just don't know what floorboard it is."

"I'll show you." We ran up to my bedroom, and I pushed my bed a little bit. "It's the board under the leg of my bed. I didn't think anyone would notice it was loose this way." I pulled up the board and I grabbed the few books and magazines I had. Just as I was about to put the board back, Jared stopped me, "What's this?" he pulled out a book I immediately recognized as my diary. I thought I had left it out and my dad took it. "My diary! I thought I lost it!" I decided I could hide a few things from him. "Kim + Jared?"

"I told you I had a crush on you for the longest time. Heather was the only one who knew."

"I see." Now what was he planning?

~*~

Jared helped me bring my things in and up to my room. I had decided what I was going to tell Heather. My grandma was home and Jared had to go on patrol, but he said if I needed him, just call Emily and she'd get Sam to find him. It was so sweet of him to volunteer others to find him for me.

I took a deep breath. I had a feeling that Heather was sitting by the phone waiting for me to call.

The phone only rang once. "Kim?!"

"Yes?"

"So you said you'd tell me, so spill."

"I'm at my grandma's house. She has custody over me—"

"Since when!" she interrupted. She was always more outgoing than me.

"Since about 2 hours ago. When you called, I was picking up my stuff."

"So your dad can't hurt you anymore?"

"Not without getting arrested."

"So you live with your grandma now?"

"Yup."

"Wait. You can go out with Jared now and not get hurt for it?"

Leave it to her to come up with a way to make it all go back to Jared. "As long as my grandma approves." I decided to tease her a little. She's my best friend, I'm allowed to.

"She hasn't met him yet?!"

"Of course she has, she couldn't be more excited about him. My dad was pissed when he found out that he was coming with me to get my stuff." A door closed softly. "I got to go, talk to you tomorrow, Heather."

"Is it Jared?" I could almost see her face, excited.

"No, it's my grandma."

"Oh. 'Night Kim."

"Bye."
