Chapter 11

Half an hour Kim and I's hair is curled and we're heading downstairs, desperately trying not to trip in our heels. We heard the boys arrive about fifteen minuets ago and I anxiously waited until I looked perfect until I headed downstairs. Image was everything, that was what society drilled into my head. Honestly I was quite nervous to see Jake what if he changed his mind or something? I sigh my hair was in big wavy curls while Kim's were smaller to accentuate her longer face. I step downstairs after kim and into the kitchen where the guys were looking for food, big surprise. My eyes linger to Jake who's talking to Paul. A smile spreads to my lips as my eyes can him. He was wearing dark wash jeans and a grey v-neck shirt, his hair was as it always was but a little neater, he looked as cute as ever and I just wanted to jump him right in the middle of the kitchen but my dignity held me back. I could feel his eyes on me as I hear someone approach me.

" Hey Kayla" I hear Embry say to my left. I smile lightly, I had known Embry for a long time through Jake, he had always been quiet but sweet, and one of my close friends.

" Hey B" I grin as he chuckles at my childhood nickname for him

" I wanted to thank you for saving me" He says a now serious look on his face

" You should thank sue" I remind him

" You helped calm me down tremendously" He replies I shrug it off

" I'm just glad you're okay" I assure him as commotion breaks out as people begin to pile into the house and the backyard. I hadn't realized how late it was, it was at least ten thirty and I guess it was time for the party to start. I find myself wandering in the backyard; Kim had left me to find Jared some time ago. My eyes land on Jake as his eyes scan the room. I smile walking over to him.

" Hey" He grins noticing me " You look beautiful" He compliments causing me to blush

" Thank you, you look nice too" I smile as he smirks playfully but doesn't say anything

" You want to dance?" He asks I pay attention to the rather slow song playing but nod anyways and soon we're one of the many couples on the dance floor. My arms wrap around his neck as he pulls me dangerously close resting his hands on my hips. Surrounding me with warmth.

" You feeling better?" He asks

" Much, thanks to the soup you brought me" I grin as we sway back and forth

" Good I worked hard on that soup" He says seriously. I shake my head with a chuckle

" There is no way in hell you made that" I laugh lightly

" Did too" He argues

" Jacob Black you should know by now you can't fool me" I smile playfully

" How silly of me" He smiles down at me " I heard you and Bella are having lunch"

" Silly? No man says silly" I tease earning an eye roll from him" Yeah Tuesday, wanna come?" I ask " I think she's bringing Edward" I smile lightly " We can skip fifth and sixth since we have useless classes anyways" He chuckles

" Woah there little rebel" He teases " Yeah that sounds good"

" Good" I smile a little released

" What are you scared of Edward or something?" He asks

" Not with you" I reply sheepishly

" Mikayla Lahote scared of something?" Jake teases. I blush lightly

" Shut up" I smile lightly

" They won't hurt you" Jake says seriously " I swear they would never" I nod, I was trying my best to trust them, but it just felt so unnatural. I hear the slow song end as it morphs into some song by JLo. Jake doesn't release me but instead keeps holding me there. I allow myself to rest my head against his too warm chest.

" Did I tell you how pretty you look tonight?" He asks

" I think you might have mentioned it" I chuckle as he leans down kissing the top of my head. Part of me wasn't satisfied, there was part of me that still wanted his lips on mine, so I let my impulse take over me and I leaned up to press my lips against his quickly thanking Kim for the no smudge lipstick I was wearing. Just like the two precious times before I had kissed Jake I felt my lips tingle, a warm feeling at the bottom of my stomach, the whole world stops as he holds me tight against him, this was bliss. I wanted him so bad, the feelings I felt for him were so unexplainable. I didn't know what it was about him that drove me crazy. I hear Kim call out "Cake Time!" and swear quietly to myself. I pull away leaning my forehead against his catching my breath.

" We should go" I chuckle lightly staring into his big brown puppy dog eyes

" We could just stay here" He chuckles pressing his lips against mine once more. I smile against his lips but pull back; I swear his touch was addictive the more I had the more I wanted. I would've deepened the kiss except for the fact that I knew Paul was nearby.

" Come on we'll have plenty of time for that later" I respond with a wink dragging him over to cake. After we finish singing happy birthday to Jared, Jake and I make out way over to the wolf pack plus Emily, Sarah, and Kim. I wondered if Sarah knew about the whole wolf thing yet, my best guess was no. I snuggle into Jake as he wraps his arm around my waist. I could practically feel Paul's eyes burning through my skin.

" Paul calm down" Kim says hitting him on the shoulder " So are you two together now?" Kim asks bluntly. I could feel a light blush come to my cheeks

" I guess" I reply shrugging

" But just to make it official" Jake grins looking down at me " Mikayla Lahote will you be my girlfriend?" He asks. I chuckle feeling like a 7th grader.

" Of course" I respond reaching up to kiss his cheek as everyone erupts in applause. I laugh as Quil walks over holding a bunch of alcohol.

" Aren't you underage?" Paul asks opening a can of beer

" Aren't we all except you, Jared, and Sam?" He asks with a chuckle. I settle for a glass of champagne that I "elegantly" sip. After that Jared, Quil, and Embry begin to talk football. I glance at the clock realizing it's two thirty, I allow myself to yawn.

" Kayla go home you're still recovering from being sick" Paul orders

" Paul" I whine " I'm fine"

" Go" He commands

" You only want me to go so you can go dry hump some girl" I tease

" Ohhhhhhh" Quil shouts " Ouch man" He chuckles high fiving Embry. I see Paul's eyes bulge in sheer rage.

" Alright I'm going" I roll my eyes getting up

" I'll drive you" Jake offers standing up as well. After many goodbye's we're finally in my car driving home " So how was your first Senior party?" Jake asks

" Honestly a lot like other parties I've been too" I chuckle " But a lot better" I reply sheepishly " Kim knows how to throw one hell of a party"

" She does" Jake says with a grin as we pull into my house's lot. We both exit heading to my door. I smile lightly stopping at my porch

" Night" I smile lightly opening my door

" Kayla" Jake says gently grabbing my hand like I hoped and pulling me into his warm body. His hands wrap around me, my hands awkwardly placed on his chest as he finally closes the space between our lips. His hand travels up my back and to my neck gently pulling me closer to him. Our lips move against each others and I can't help but think how well they fit together. My tongue teases the bottom of his lips. Just when I'm about to further deepen our kiss my phone buzzes. I groan as I pull back leaning against the door. Jake chuckles gently brushing a piece of hair behind my ear.

" Wanna come in?" I ask biting my lower lip

" Sure" He replies with a grin as I let myself in, Jake following me. I flop down on the couch as Jake sits next to me

Paul was right I was quite tired. About a half an hour later Jake's laying on the couch as I lay between his legs my head resting against his chest as I slowly drift to sleep. He plays with strands of my hair; it was soothing to feel his touch, to just know he was there.

" You're so beautiful you know that?" He asks kissing the top of my head

" You're such a bad liar" I chuckle

" I mean it" He replies with a very serious tone " Your hair is the blackest of blacks, you have cute little dimples when you smile, your laugh is sweeter than an angels, I could get lost in your eyes, and your lips fit mine perfectly" He finishes, I laugh to myself that was exactly what I had been thinking

" Whatever you say Jake" I reply looking up at him. It still scared me how much I wanted him, how much I needed him. I was just so scared he would leave me like Seth.

" What's wrong?" He asks concerned

" I'm just worried about the imprint stuff is all" I respond avoiding eye contact with him " it's stupid, but I don't think I'll ever get over it"

" Kayla, I've loved you since we were young" He chuckles in remembrance " You never even saw me as anything but friends and that was okay with me" He shrugs " As long as I was with you everyday, I would take the long way to school just to walk with you, I would "forget" my lunch so I could buy lunch with you" He laughs lightly " When you chose Seth I was broken, but I still kept my hope, and when I phased I imprinted on you" He says softly. I sit up suddenly looking into his eyes for truth.

" You're not lying?" I ask still in disbelief. I grin about to squeal in excitement " You don't know how relieved I feel now that you've said that"

" I'm sorry I ruined your relationship with seth" He sighs leaning back against the couch " He only acted the way he did because he was trying to keep you from me" He shakes his head

" Hey" I smile lightly " that wasn't your fault, Seth and I weren't supposed to be together" I shrug " And I didn't see it at that time, but it was for the better" How ironic was it that Sue told me that a few days ago. The door opens and paul walks in, his hair disheveled, and a huge hickie on his neck. I scoff, as he looks our way.

" Jake out" He orders pointing to the door. Jake and I stand up making our way to the door his fingers laced in mine. I needed to have contact with him, even if it was just our fingers, I just needed to know he was there, that this was real.

" What no girl?" I tease paul

" It is a school night" He chuckles heading upstairs

" See you tomorrow?" Jake asks. I nod as he leans down to kiss me softly on the lips before heading out. I smile putting my fingers to my lips, a tingling sensation running through them. I couldn't help but think how perfect Jake was. His cute grin, his hot abs, his chiseled features. He was perfect for me and knowing I was his imprint, I was on top of the world

I sit in the passenger seat of my car as Jake and I drive home from school, it's been two days since the party, two days since Jake and I have been together. I couldn't ask for more, when we weren't together we were texting and when we weren't doing either I was wishing I was with him or talking to him. Bella and I were supposed to have lunch today, but she had to cancel because of an emergency or something. Next week was the last week of school and on Friday I would officially be a senior. Jake of course, would be graduating and opening his garage, which both of us were excited for, I mean working on cars all day, hot right. Jake pulls my hand to his intertwining his fingers with mine as we pull up to my house. I feel Jake stiffen immediately.

" What?" I ask concerned. I scan the area and notice a car I don't recognize " Jake you're scaring me" I frown getting out of the car and rushing inside to find Sam, Jared, and Paul talking to Edward and Carlisle.

" Hey Jacob, Mikayla" Sam says nodding our way

" What's going on?" I ask walking over to them behind Jake, my voice calm but in my mind I knew something was terribly wrong for Carlisle to be here. The treaty must have been suspended at the moment.

" Go upstairs Cassie" Paul orders, just when I'm about to object sam speaks up

" She's part of this she can stay" Sam says, I give him a grateful look before all eyes turn to Carlisle

" There is an army of newborns heading this way from Seattle" Carlisle begins " They're being led by the redhead Victoria, whom we spotted around the area yesterday" He continues his eyes scanning around the circle " We would like your assistance, in both the redhead and the newborns" He finishes

" This isn't our concern" Paul growls threateningly, Sam puts a hand on Paul's shoulder

" Sam, this includes La Push as well, we cannot take them by ourselves and if we can't take them they will enter La Push" Edward states reading Sam's mind. Sam sighs crossing his arms in contemplation

" Fine we will help you, to keep our people safe" He finally decides " Where's the redhead now?" He asks

" We're not sure, somewhere on our side, but you should have people running patrol" Carlisle states " Just incase she decides to jump over" Sam nods " I need to get back" He says before leaving with Edward. We stand in silence for a moment before Sam speaks up

" I need to talk with the elders, meet at my house at 7" Sam orders before leaving Paul, Jake, and i.

" You guys can't go" I frown, I had just gotten Jake, Paul was the last of my family left I couldn't lose them. I felt a pit form in my stomach, I thought I was going to faint.

" I need to get air" Paul says exiting promptly

" I'm serious I don't want you to go" I state seriously, Jake leads me to the couch sitting me down, I could feel the paleness of my cheeks.

" I have to go" He responds looking me straight into my eyes, he did that sometimes, just stared at me. You would think it would make me uncomfortable, but it was a show of affection to me.

" Please" I plead with him bringing his hands to mine, immediately seeking his touch, his warmth " Don't leave me" I practically beg " I can't loose you" I whisper

" Hey, look at me" He says cupping my face with his hands " I'm not going anywhere" He says rubbing my cheek with his thumb " I need to protect my town, and my family, you" He says his eyes never leaving me " I'm not going anywhere" He repeats bringing me close to him, into his warm body. I burry my face in his chest breathing in his scent of pine and the ocean.

" We were built for this" He says reassuringly. I let out a deep sigh and once again breath in his scent, I refuse to loose him
