Chapter Eleven

Bella's POV

I looked out towards the ocean as we walked side by side. We'd been mostly silent since we had come out of Sam and Emily's house, but I'd told him I'd be going back whenever they invited me. It had a nice atmosphere.

"So, a year?" Jake started.

"Yeah. I guess it's going to be a trial run, you know. See whether I want to get out of it or not." I told him honestly. Even though my Mom was adamant that I was going back after the year, I wasn't so sure. I didn't know what I wanted at this time in my life.

"Will your mom let you?" He laughed.

"That's the million dollar question." I laughed along with him. "Hey, tomorrow I was going to head to Fork General. Want to join?" I asked. He knew what I meant.

"I can't." He told me.

"Oh, okay." I said, trying to hide my disappointment.

We made our way to, what could only be described as, a broken tree. It was a huge piece of driftwood that was discolored to white from the sun. We sat in silence for quite some time, just enjoying each others company. It wasn't long till Jake broke it.

"Want to cliff jump?" He asked. I looked at him, a smile lighting my face.

"I'd love too!" I told him. "But not today. I don't have a change of clothes and I have to be back by six to start dinner for me and Charlie." I looked at my watch as I said it. "Oh my God! It's five thirty! I'm so sorry Jake today must have been boring for you. All we've done is sit in silence." I felt guilty that I hadn't been any fun. This morning I'd been too excited to even sit still and once I got to the beach it was like I was finally still, able to sit down content enough to stare into the sea. No fun at all, I thought.

"Nah, it was fun. Just sitting with you, knowing your finally here." He told me. "I've missed you." He whispered. I smile up at him, remembering how close we'd always been- I was always happy about that. Knowing if I ever needed him even miles away, he would be there for me.

"I missed you too." We got up from our fallen tree and started are way back to the cottage in the middle of the forest. "You headed home too? Or are you staying at Sam and Emily's a while longer?" I asked as the house came into view.

"Home, I think. Dad will probably have his special recipe pasta ready." He said. I looked up and laughed as we said, "ragu" at the same time.

"Oh hey Paul." Jake called. We'd made it to the house and Paul had been travelling in the same direction. He stopped in his tracks and looked as if he wanted to bolt.

"Hi." He said in a grumble. He turned fully and I got a look at his body. His prefect body. Jesus, were all the guys here photo-shopped or what? I thought.

My gaze travelled up from his sculpted abs and chest until I reached his face which looked like a thunderstorm until our gazes locked. Then his face took on a look of surprise. I don't know how long we stood there caught in each others gaze but I was able to shake myself out our trance just as Sam and Emily came out.

"Hey Bella! What are you doing back." Emily said with enthusiasm.

"Hey. I'm just headed home." I told her.

"Oh, are you going to come back?" She asked with a hopeful face. I laughed as I answered.

"Yeah! I'd like that." I looked to Jake, as I got my keys out of my bag. "Hey Jake?"

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Catch." I threw my car keys at him. He looked at them before a excited look came over his face. "Scratch it and I mean it, I. Will. Kill. You." I said with only a little menace. He ran towards the car and I said a goodbye to Sam and Emily, glancing only once at the statue that was now Paul, before following.

Paul's POV

Imprint. Imprint. Imprint. Me. Paul Meraz has an imprint.

I was only vaguely aware of a car leaving before Sam gave me a small punch to the shoulder.

"Imprinted, huh?" He asked.

"Oh. My. GOD! Really?" Em asked. I just nodded. "Kim!" She shouted going inside.

"I think you've just made Em and Kim's day." Sam chuckled.

"She must think I'm a dick." I said in a monotone voice.

"So? Everyone who meets you thinks that." I growled and returned his earlier punch, only harder. "Calm down." He laughed.

"How? My imprint probably thinks I'm some stupid Indian! First I walk out without getting introduced to her which makes me an ass and then next time I see her I stare." I looked at him with a serious face. "Just. Stare!"

He just laughed again, until everyone came barrelling out.

"Is it true? Is it true?" Kim asked, getting right in my face and jumping up and down.

"Hey, Jared? Get your girl a muzzle, or at least get her away from me." I said, with little menace as I had a lot on my mind. Just as Jared started to growl at me for my comment Kim rolled her eyes and spoke.

"Urgh, whatever Paul. So did you imprint on Iz- Bella or what?" She asked in a semi-normal voice.

"Yeah. I did." She looked towards Emily.

"Then we need to give him some education." Emily nodded her agreement.

"At least this means I will actually be able to meet her." Leah said with a smile, which was kind of awkward for all us guys as we'd never seen her smile - only in Sam's memories.

"Wait." I said. "What do you mean? An education?"

"On all thing Izzie." Kim said in a whiney girl voice.

"Yeah Paul," Em spoke "you even said it yourself that you always change the radio station when one of her songs come on. So you know nothing about her. We'll teach you." I went to speak but nothing came out. They were right. I knew nothing about my imprint.

"Okay." I finally replied.

Jacob's POV

I made my way back to Sam's later that night as he told me it was important. I just wish I could be coming back in Bella's awesome car again, I thought. That car was like a dream to drive and I groaned just thinking about it.

I couldn't drive too fast though around these streets in La Push, so Bella promised me that one day we'll go on a long drive somewhere else, but I had to get my licence first which won't be for a couple of months. That reminds me, I thought, it's Bella's birthday next week, I'll have to think about present ideas.

I walked into Sam and Emily's without knocking, non of us ever did.

"Hey guys. So what's up?" I asked. They all looked pretty excited, so it looked like good news.

"Okay, remember to be calm Jacob." Sam told me, which automatically made me tense. His tone was also the complete opposite of the feeling within the room and that confused me further.

"Sure, sure." I answered.

"Paul imprinted." I went to smile and congratulate him, but Sam's next words stopped me. "On Bella."

"What?" I said as calmly as I could. It wouldn't do any good to phase and I knew Sam and Jared would kill me because the girls where in the room.

Paul stood up from where he was talking to Kim and Emily and dared me to say anything by making himself looking bigger than the big fuck he already looked like. "I. Imprinted. On. Bella." He enunciated. I took a deep breathe. I have two choices- I could be an ass or I could help him, I thought. Although the first option was appealing he was my pack brother whether I liked to admit it or not.

I huffed. "You hurt her, and I break you."

Paul smiled. "And I'll let you, because let's face it- you couldn't take me." I laughed and the entire pack seemed to release a breath.

"So how about you invite her back up tomorrow?" Sam asked while Paul nodded.

"Can't, she's busy."

"Busy?" Paul asked.

"Yeah, remember when I told you she was truly good?" He nodded for me to continue. "This is one of those times. She going into Fork General."

"WHAT!" He shouted. I looked at him confused by his outburst. "You do remember that a leech" he spat the word "works there, right?"

"Crap." I said. "Sam, I need the day off tomorrow."

Sam looked at me for a second before answering. "No. Paul will go to the hospital with her." He smirked.

I looked towards Paul after realizing there was going to be no way out of patrol if Sam was going to let Paul meet up with Bells.

I sighed. "She'll get there for about nine. Get there early so you can meet her before she goes in, because I don't know which department she's going to go to first." Paul nodded, again smiling. I swear I'd never seen him smile before. "Oh and Paul?"

"Yeah."

"I get to say 'I told you so' when you see that she's more Bella than Izzie 'the Diva' tomorrow."

Did you like the imprint? Hmm?

REVIEWS are always loved and welcome :)
