Oh look – Maddox imprinted. Well that's nice to know. Pity that it had to be someone I didn't like. Well, no – actually – I liked Leah, just that one time when she hurt Maddox, it hurt him a lot and it was weird seeing my big brother (by fifteen minutes) be so upset by her. But anyway, at least he's happy now and has something to live for. As if being a wolf wasn't enough. He was loving every minute of it. Where as I – not so much. The next day it was time for school and mum and dad had found out that I made it into the track team. Dad was proud, mum was confused. Mum and dad still didn't know about the whole situation with Maddox and Leah, they just assumed that the both of them were in 'good terms' with each other. Wait until that little bombshell decides to hit the tribe come our tribe meeting this weekend. Fun, fun, fun.

"So Jay" Maddox said as we walked to class "how are ya doin' with this whole me imprinting on Leah thing?"

"I'm not fussed" I shrugged, I really didn't mind. As long as she made him happy was all I cared about – and that she didn't annoy me with all her pessimism. She had something to be happy about now. So that was good – I guess.

"You don't mind?" he looked at me.

"Are you asking for my blessing or something?" I tilted my head in confusion, "because if you want it, like I said I don't mind that you're with her. You are with who you are – scratch that – you imprint on who you imprint – and you happened to imprint on Leah like she did on you. So we can't help that. I guess your futures were already intertwined together before we knew"

"How very tribe-like of you"

"Well I am the daughter of the chief" I shrugged "well anyway, let's get into class before we attract more attention to ourselves than we already are"

"Done" Maddox nodded

"Oh and I want to go see the Cullen's today" I blurted. They didn't know what was wrong with us, and I was warned by dad that once we phase, vampires are the most foulest of smell and they'll think that of us too. But the good thing is, vampires don't have to breathe so they can't smell us – whereas we have to breathe so I'm gonna be inhaling uncle Emmett and trying hard not to vomit. I hope he doesn't take any offence to it.

"Oh right, we need to tell them the good news!" he smiled "and tell them that I'm with Leah"

"Yes, I'm sure they'll want to know about that too" I said as I walked into class. Maddox walked over to his friends, any bet that he was talking about him and Leah being together now. Yep, they just high-fived each other – definitely talking about Leah.

I sat down at my regular seat. Jasmine had just walked into class "Hey, Jay"

"Hey Jazz" I nodded "how are you?"

"Not bad! I can't believe you made it into the track team! And you say you weren't good at running"

"I'm not" I sighed "I wish someone could believe me when I said I hated any type of sport"

"But how un-American of you not to like track. That's like the national sport almost" she looked at me.

"Well I'm on the team aren't I?" I shrugged. My eyes wandered to Wesley's chair – he still wasn't at school.

"Yeah I know" Jasmine sighed looking to where he sat too "I kinda miss looking at him"

"You always miss him" Ellie said as she sat down in front of us.

"And it tears me up inside" Jasmine sighed again "but he's due back in a couple of days. He's been away for like a week and a third now. So he'll be here in two days time" she smiled "Oh no wait! No! He'll be back on a weekend! I have to wait an extra day to see him again?"

"Jasmine, you are starting to freak me out" I said as I leant back on my chair "you know his schedule pretty well – a little creepy. Have you ever actually spoken to the kid?"

"Well" she blushed "no. But we say hi and bye"

"Out of curiosity, what does he do and why is he always away?" I asked.

"Camping" Jasmine answered "he goes camping with his brothers and sister. They all at one stage went to this school. Johnny, Michael, Gabriel and Amitiel – my god they were just as beautiful as Wesley"

"School girl crushes" Ellie rolled her eyes "what do you think he's doing right now?" she suddenly said after her little statement.

"You're another one" I laughed.

"Ok, so there are days when I adore him, there are some days that I'm not attracted to him, and there are some days that I get when I get attracted to musicians with tattoo's. I can't help it. You should've known that when you became my friend – and trust me darling Jay, it's hard to get out of the contract of our friendship"

I laughed. Ellie was always someone who could always get a laugh out of me. She was awesome. "Oh I like it. I'd want you to stick around for a little longer – plainly for the means of my entertainment"

"Very nice twinny, the sarcasm is coming along nicely" she said as she patted me on the head "I am training you well"

The bell went and it was time for class. I headed to my locker; I got the books for the wrong class. Stupid Jayla. I opened my locker, and there was something on the bottom of my locker, it was slipped in there, I didn't realise it the first time I opened it. It was a folded piece of lined paper. Someone's scribbly writing was on it. Writing in black ink I read along…

Hey Jayla

I heard you've been M.I.A lately – is it because of that little freak out that you had in Health Class? Anyway, I'm back from camping – but guessing from the timetables – you and I won't have any classes together today. Plus that I get to go home early today so…yeah, just making sure that everything is ok. See you tomorrow.

Wes.

I kinda smiled on the inside, knowing that someone actually took the time of day to write me a note. But what even confused me even more was that he knew I was away? The day was going to be short for me as well – me and 'dox got to go home early today – so that means we get to see the Cullen's!

'Ew, Jayla. Ew' There was the voice that I was waiting to interrupt my thoughts.

'Shut up' I rolled my eyes 'I can think about who ever I want. After-all, you always think of Leah. How do you think I feel?'

'Touché' I heard his voice echo in my head 'Oh, we can't make it to the Cullen's today, I'm visiting Leah after school. So, I was wondering…'

'What?' I said as I stomped my foot down.

'If I could take the Rabbit, and you just stay at school and I pick you up'

'Oh that's a nice idea, why remember last time when you were supposed to pick me up? Remember that time? Oh of course not because you never showed up! And I waited for more than an hour'

'It was a win-win situation for you wasn't it Jay? You got to be Wesley'

'Shut up' I said as I blocked him out of my thoughts.

'I've got the key's Jay; you really have no choice in the matter'

'You're such a sucky brother'

'Thanks'

I rolled my eyes and slammed the door of my locker.

"Jayla" I heard a voice call behind me. I turned around and my eyes met with Wesley's blue eyes.

"Hey" I said almost losing my breath. My head started to spin and I pressed my head against my locker. I knew what this was, and it was weird that every time something would happen to Maddox, it would happen to me too. The twin link thing was stronger than I thought. There were butterflies in my stomach, and a flash of light that blinded the hell out of me I had to shield my eyes. And then suddenly; nothing. I saw his eyes again.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm perfect" I smiled at him "you're back from camping"

"Yeah, didn't have a reason to stick around" he shrugged; I noticed that he had a slight cut on his lip, and he was slightly paler than usual.

"Wesley" I said as I started to worry "are you ok? What happened?"

"What happened to me when?" he asked.

"To your lip! Was it during camping? Are you ok? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine Jayla. It's not like I'm hemorrhaging" he smiled "just a camping accident. My brother accidentally elbowed me when we were playing football. No big deal"

"I'm sorry, just worried about you" I immediately answered; I didn't mean to say that out loud, it just happened.

"Well that's sweet" he nodded "so, if you don't mind my asking, why were you away?"

"Because I phased" I blurted out again. My eyes widened at the question he just asked me. Everything he asked me, I answered with the 100 truth and I couldn't keep that from him. I guess Maddox was the same with the whole Leah thing.

'What the hell did I just hear?' Maddox's voice had interrupted my thoughts.

'I couldn't help it!' I immediately answered 'it just came out'

'WHY?!' his voice was infuriated, I was kinda scared that he was going to phase on the spot. 'No I am not going to phase on the spot Jayla'

'I imprinted' I answered '…on Wesley'

"Jayla" Wesley said as he looked at me.

"Hmm?" I looked at him and then I smiled.

"You…phased?"

"Did I say phased? I said I was going though a phase." I immediately covered up what I had said before; otherwise I would've been in a lot of trouble. Not only from Maddox, but from mum and dad also.

"A phase of…?"

"Just couldn't be bothered going to school. You know new girl, new place, new friends…kinda weird and overwhelming at the same time" I nodded. I was surprised at all the answers I was coming up with. "But I got over it" I nodded.

"Cool" he nodded "so, what are you doing after school?"

"School?" I answered "Oh I finish early. But I have to stay back"

"Why?"

"Because my brother is taking the car to see his girlfriend"

"Oh" he nodded "so would you mind it if I took you home?"

"Again? Wesley, this is the second time already. Are you sure you don't mind?"

"Not a problem" he shook his head "do you mind it if I did?"

"Not at all" I smiled. I heard footsteps coming from the west, they were approaching fast.

I looked to my left and then there was Maddox, hurtling toward me and Wesley at full speed.

"Hey Maddox" Wesley looked at him

"Yeah, yeah" he ignored Wesley and looked straight at me "Jayla, may I please speak with you alone?"

"Of course" I nodded "excuse us please, Wesley. Stay right where you are"

Maddox pulled me to the other side of the hall. "Jayla! Out of all the people in the world you choose to imprint on, it's Wesley Harper?! Are you clinically insane?"

"It wasn't my choice remember? It was already set for us both. Now you know how I feel when you were like that with Leah"

"You can't imprint on him"

"Why?"

"Because he's not…"

"What?" I looked at him getting defensive. I accepted Leah, even though I didn't like it I accepted her because she made my brother happy. "He's not what Maddox?"

"Quileute or native American" he answered

"Oh wow" I looked at him "I didn't realise you were like that Maddox" I said as I stepped back

"I'm just saying, will he respect our customs? And plus, I don't like him that much" he answered

"I'll let you in on something; I like Leah, but the only reason why I do like her is because she makes you happy. And for the first time in a long time since I've phased – now, I can actually say – yes I am happy. And Wesley does that. You would know, every time you see Leah; you go all gaga eyes at her. But you can't even be happy for me? Thanks a lot 'dox. I thought we were different from other brothers and sisters. I thought we were close; you were like a best friend – which was like, bonus. But…I just can't pretend to forget what you just said. I stuck by you and defended you when Leah hurt you, and you can't even be happy for me because I've found Wesley to imprint on. Thanks a heap 'dox" I said as I walked away.

'Jayla' I heard his voice echo in my head. I blocked him out of my head; I didn't want to listen to him at the moment. I started to have tears streak down my face as I walked back to Wesley.

"Jayla, are you ok?"

"What say we skip school for a bit?" I asked him

"Are you suggesting we skip school?"

"Did I say a sonnet?" I tilted my head in frustration, tears were still streaking down my face, I didn't wanna wipe them away, what was the point when fresh ones were going to streak my face again anyway?

"Are you ok?"

"I just need to get out of here" I looked at him "please, Wesley"

I saw him reach for his keys in his pocket and rubbed my arm "Are you sure you're ok?"

I looked back and Maddox was still looking at me. I looked back at Wesley and smiled "I'm fine, come on lets go" I said as I walked ahead. He followed behind.

"So where are we headed exactly?"

"I don't know" I shrugged "let's just go for a drive or something. Oh! I know! Let's visit my second family!"

"Second family?"

"They live in Forks. Can we? I haven't seen them in two weeks"

"Sure thing" he said as we walked up to his beautiful Harley. I saw him look back at the school "Are you sure your brother isn't going to kill me for listening to you?"

"Who would you rather listen to? Me or my brother?" I asked as I reached for the spare helmet and put it on my head

"Good point" he nodded as he got on the bike and started the motor. "So, Forks…" he began as I sat behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist "it's not that far from here is it?"

"Not if you drive there" I answered "do you know the way?"

"I think I've lived around here long enough to know where I'm going Jayla" he chuckled "but once we reach Forks; you have to tell me where to go from there"

"Done and done" I said. And off we went; we zoomed out of the school and headed to Forks. Well I was kinda beating that brother of mine to the punch to meet my significant other, well, they didn't know that yet! Hopefully they know I'm coming so it won't be that much of a surprise, for sure Aunt Alice will be wrapt that I found someone already.

"So Jayla, who is this second family of yours?"

"The Cullens" I answered "they've been friends with my mum and dad for a really long time now, some of them are my godparents"

"Fair enough" he nodded

"And what about you? What about your family?"

"The Harpers?" he laughed "not much to tell there. They're still out camping, I decided to come back"

"And why would you come back to school?"

"To see you" he answered "like I needed another reason"

"Ok, that's just plain creepy" I answered

"Haha, don't pretend you don't like what you're hearing"

"Shut up" I sighed. I was staring at the open road and the horizon that was in front of us. I could make out the buildings that we were heading. We were approaching Forks at full speed. We had zoomed past all the shops and anything that I didn't think of much importance, what was important was that I got to see my second family again – awesome.

"So are we there yet?" he said as we rode past the streets

"No, they kinda live in isolation, so we have a couple of minutes to go"

"They live in the forest?"

"No, not forest. It's just secluded. The Cullen's like their peace and quiet"

We were there. We had suddenly reached a barricade of trees that surrounded us. "Will I know it when I see it?"

"Clearly" I answered in sarcasm "it's the only house in this area" and sure enough there it was, that white beautiful mansion that I have come to love as my home away from home.

"Woah" I heard Wesley whisper. I smiled slightly at his reaction as he stopped the motor of his bike and we wheeled his bike onto the drive way.

We made it to the front of the door. I assumed that Alice would open the door before I even knocked, but no one came. I just stood at the door. Wesley knocked on the door for me. "Coming!" I heard Alice's musical voice fill my ears. My favourite aunty, how I missed seeing her. "Is that you Maya? You brought Jacob with you didn't you? That's why I can't see…" – the door opened – "You" she looked surprised to see me "Jayla"

"Aunt Alice!" I said as I wrapped my arms around her

"I didn't expect to see you – I didn't" her phase was in a daze "is it because you…" she trailed off.

"Yeah" I nodded "and Maddox too"

"Wow" she nodded; she then turned her attention onto Wesley. I had forgotten he was there, thank God he didn't understand what we were talking about.

"Oh sorry, this is Wesley Harper" I said "Wesley, this is my godmother, Alice"

He nodded, she kinda wrinkled her nose at him, and I think it was because she caught a whiff of wolf smell Aka. Me.

"Jayla!" I heard Edward's voice from around the corner. He had emerged from the kitchen and following close behind him was Bella. He had reached us "Ah and this must be Wesley Harper"

He read my mind, I could tell. I looked at him and smiled slightly. "Jayla!" Bella said as she ran toward me and gave me a hug "It's been so long! Why haven't you come by to – Jayla…you stink"

"Thanks" I rolled my eyes

"Why?" she tilted her head in confusion

"Bella…" Edward began, he looked at me and nodded, he knew.

"Oh" she nodded "well, no wonder Alice couldn't see you"

"Yes, couldn't see me" I repeated. I kinda wanted to make it obvious at the fact that there was a HUMAN in our presence.

"So, what brings you to our neck of the woods?" haha, neck. I thought in my head. I didn't think they understood the pun that they intended.

"Came to visit you" I smiled "I missed you. I'm sorry I haven't come by to visit, it's because of the – difficulties"

"Aww" Alice said as she hugged me "it's ok"

"Alice, you think I smell bad? You guys smell terrible"

"Well at least the feeling is mutual" Bella said as she kissed me on the forehead "Come in, oh, a friend of yours?" she looked at Wesley

"No, he's my servant" I laughed

"Very funny, Jay" he smiled "Wesley Harper" he said as he took his hand out Bella shook it and smiled. We walked into the house and we went to the kitchen.

"God, what is that God awful – oh hey Jayla!" Uncle Emmett, who would've guessed his reaction, would be like that. "So you've-"

"Shut up Emmett!" Alice yelled at him. I don't think he had noticed that Wesley was with us.

"Oh, and who is this then? Your boyfriend?" Emmett said walking over toward him, his fists clenched

"Emmett!" I said as I tried to push him back "no, he's not my boyfriend, he's my friend. He was nice enough to bring me here" I answered. Well, it could be worse, at least I didn't tell him Wesley was my imprint, and can you imagine how bad that would've been? Edward looked at me, his eyes slightly widened. He looked at me and then Wesley. 'Crap'

I saw Edward smile at my inner reaction. "He better not be" Emmett looked at me "and where's that brother of yours?"

"I don't care at the moment" I huffed. I had a quick flashback to what had happened between Maddox and me at school. Edward looked at me and gave a sympathetic look, damn it! Again!

"Edward, what's with the facial reactions?" Bella asked. Alice had that look on her face, she was having a premonition – a couple of seconds later she looked at me and smiled and then looked at Wesley and winked. I blushed.

"Will you excuse us for a couple of seconds?" Edward looked at us

"I don't mind" I shook my head. Wesley nodded and Edward and Bella went into the other room.

"Oh this better be good" Emmett said walking into the same room.

"Emmett, that wasn't directed at you!" Alice called out to him

"Too late! I have the right! I am in the same room as them! Ha! Now spill Edward!" I heard the echo from the other room.

Here we go, they were going to find out – Bella and Emmett.

"3, 2, 1" I said underneath my breath

"SHE WHAT?!" I heard Emmett's thundering voice fill the house.

'Uncle Edward, please do something'

"Emmett, breathe"

"I can't breathe, remember?!" Emmett answered. Clearly if Wesley weren't here it would be translated into 'I can't breathe, I'm a vampire in case you haven't noticed!!'

"Emmett, calm down!" I heard Bella yell at him "stop over reacting, this was bound to happen. Just like with Jacob and Maya"

"Yeah but that's my god daughter! Uh-uh" he said as I heard his footsteps come closer.

"Alice" my eyes widened "help"

"On it" she said walking toward the doorway "Jasper!" she yelled out. In zoomed Jasper standing behind her. I then heard Rosalie's high-heels clopping through the house.

"I can smell…" she began, she then looked at me and smiled and then sighed "you didn't" she sounded almost disappointed.

"Daughter of Maya and Jacob Black, kinda was gonna happen Aunt Rose"

"Unfortunately" she said as she hugged me "but, I still love ya" she said as she walked next to Jasper and Alice "do you's need help in controlling him?"

"Please?" Alice looked at her.

"Uh, Jayla?" Wesley said as he moved a little bit closer to me "what's going on?"

"Just my uncle is getting overprotective again" I rolled my eyes.

"Why is he getting protective for? I didn't do anything to hurt you"

"He's just worried that you will" I looked at him.

"Hmm" he smiled as he took my hands in his, the moment he touched my skin, the heart started beating. "That's not going to happen Miss. Black"

"Not in the house, Wes" I said as I let go of my hands and placed them behind my back. I felt his hands hold onto mine again, this time – I didn't let go – my fingers intertwined with his. We looked at each other for a minute and I couldn't help but blush. In the corner of my eye, Emmett had made it through the barricade and approached me and Wesley. I let go of his hand and put them in front of me. "Uncle Emmett, breathe and count to ten"

"Jayla Black" he said slowly "who, what, when, where and why?"

"I can't really discuss that right now" I answered

"Next time you visit, you are going to tell me. No, actually – you're going to call me when you get home and explain – and while you're at it – get your parents to explain it to me too"

"Oh god" I whispered. Wesley smiled.

"And you" Emmett looked at him. I suddenly felt calm. I looked at Jasper and smiled. "Any funny business with my goddaughter, you'll have not only me – but my whole family to answer to"

"Oh god" I repeated and put my hand to my forehead.

"Thank you Emmett" Alice said pushing him away "don't listen to him Wesley, we really don't mean any harm, we just want the best for Jayla" Alice said as she kissed me on the forehead.

"The very best" Emmett said.

"I think you better go Jayla, Emmett is getting restless" Bella looked at me "say hey to mum and dad for me k? We'll be by to visit soon"

"K" I said as I went around hugging each and everyone of them "where's Esme and Carlisle?"

"Camping" Edward nodded, which totally meant something else.

"Alright" I said as I started heading to the door "I'll come back to visit very soon"

"It was nice meeting you all" Wesley said walking with me to the door.

"Come back soon Wesley! We'd love to have you back" Emmett said. I shook my head and opened the door. We walked outside and closed the door behind us.

"Jayla" Wesley looked at me

"I'm sorry" I shook my head "my second family get like that when someone new enters my life"

"None taken" he said taking my hand "so tell me Miss Jayla – care to go out with me tonight, now?"

"It's the afternoon Wesley"

"Then tonight then, come out with me"

"Like – on a date?"

"Yeah" he nodded "why not?"

"Uh" I began. What reasons of me to think of not to go out with him tonight? Maybe that I haven't even told my parents that I imprinted yet? And that Maddox wouldn't be too happy for him to be picking me up at the house. Well, it serves him right, I wasn't too happy when Leah came over to see him – and look what happened? He imprinted for her.

"Please, Jayla" he said as he and I started walking to his bike.

"Let me know when" I smiled as I reached for his helmet and put it on my head. I wanted to be with him more, I think it would actually give me a chance to get to know him better.

"Great" he said as she put the helmet on his head "I'll pick you up at 7:30pm" he sat on the bike.

"So where are we headed?" I sat behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist.

"Your house" he smiled as he started the engine. I think the moment that engine started, my heart started beating too. It was a little bit nerve racking, mainly because of what was going on. I'd just been asked out on a date, my godparents (especially Emmett) were kicking in on the overprotective gene and that there would be a chance that Wesley could meet my parents – who didn't even know that I've imprinted on him yet. We pretty much rode all the way back to La Push in silence. I was dwelling on too many things to talk at the moment, and I think Wesley had pin-pointed what I was feeling and he understood by not saying anything.

We made it to my house; I was impressed that he didn't ask for any direction what so ever. He stopped the engine and parked on the drive-way. "Thanks again for the ride, Wes" I said as I took off the helmet and gave it to him.

"Don't worry about it" he nodded "but, remember…7:30pm tonight right? You're not gonna bail on me are you?"

"Wouldn't even want to think of it" I shook my head. I looked up and there was mum and dad watching me through the window. "Uh, I better go" I said as I started walking to the front door "thanks again, Wes. I'll see you tonight"

"See ya, Jay" he said as he started the engine and rode off into the distance. I made sure he was long gone before I entered the house. I walked in.

"Jayla! Kitchen! Now!" I heard dad's voice. I sighed and made my way into the kitchen. There was mum and dad leaning against the kitchen bench, watching me with their eyes as I came in.

"Hi mum, dad" I nodded at them both.

"You're not at school. Why?" dad raised his eyebrow in question.

"I didn't want to be there. There was threat of me transforming dad. Maddox made me angry – well he hurt me more so than anything"

"So Wesley took you home?" mum looked at me and smiled slightly.

"Yes" I answered "wait, how do you know I came home early?"

"Your brother called" mum answered "he said you left school really upset. He didn't say why, but I guess we now know"

"And we got an interesting call from Emmett" Dad looked at me "something about taking this Wesley Harper to their house to meet them?"

"Ah yeah" I said scratching the back of my head "that. Did he mention anything else?"

"No" Mum shook her head "which is why you're going to tell us why Emmett freaked out"

"I…" I trailed off and looked at both of my parents. They'd both understand. Mum was an imprint and dad was the one that imprinted on her – they both had to understand. It wouldn't be fair if they didn't. "I don't know how to say this…"

"Breathe and take your time hunny, we won't freak out. As long as you're telling us the truth, we'll be able to keep our tempers in check" mum smiled at me. She was so re-assuring, she'd understand more than anything else. I felt someone trying to read my mind – it was Maddox. But thank God I had stronger mind power over him and blocked him out of my thoughts.

"I imprinted" I said slowly. Mum and dad both gasped. Dad's eyes widened and mum put her hand to her mouth. "On Wesley"

Ah yes, now lets see whats in store for this date...shall we?
