Hey guys.
Now, I'm a very emotional person, and my cat was part of the family, but I didn't want him in pain, so we took him back to the vet to have him put down. I loved him to pieces and will never forget him; he was part of the family, so thats why my writing might not be up to scratch.
I'm not writing this for pity reviews, I just wanted to let you know that my writing might be different, not as good, than usual; I've never had the death of anyone close to me before and Barney was like...my oldest friend, you know?
So yeah, sorry if I've dampened any of your moods,
DISCLAIMER:I dont own Twilight, but I do own Suze.
The film made me laugh more than scream. Sure, I jumped a few times, but I laughed after. I was shouting at the characters on screen, laughing at their stupidity while Quil and Embry were cracking jokes about the characters. Halfway through the film, Jake reached backwards over his shoulder and grabbed my hand in his. The size difference was amazing. His hand swallowed mine and they stood out against each other, one being dark and the other incredibly white. At the end, we started laughing at the main man and throwing unpopped popcorn at the screen.
"You really know how to pick them Em." Jake said, laughing and squeezing my hand.
"Yeah, we asked for a horror movie, not a comedy." I agreed, throwing popcorn at him.
"You can't say that, Suze. I saw you almost jumping out of your skin!" Embry cried back, throwing popcorn back at me.
"Only because the screaming was almost bursting my eardrums!" I retorted.
"Liar!" Quil cried.
"Am not!"
"Am too!"
"Am not!"
"Am too!"
"So Quil's allowed to have silly arguments with you but I'm not?" Jake asked, tilting his head back and pouting.
"Yeah. Basically." I replied, smiling stupidly.
"Fine then. Be that way." Jake said, frowning and letting go of my hand, standing up and walking out of the front room. Quil, Embry and I all looked at each other, confused.
"Well..." I said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. I'm confused. What just happened here?" Embry asked.
"Don't ask me." I said, shrugging.
"Shouldn't you go and like...comfort him or something?" Quil asked and I laughed slightly.
"Why should I? He was the one who stormed out." I replied. "Anyway. Give me your bowls. I'll take them out for you." I said, standing up and taking the popcorn bowls. I stepped out of the front room and walked into the kitchen, dumping the bowls in the sink, then grabbing walking back to the guys. "I'll go find Jake then." I sniffed the air quietly and followed Jakes scent to my room, where I found him pacing, pulling his hair. "Uhh...hey." I muttered, shifting my weight from one foot to the other.
"Hey." He said, turning towards me, a frown on his face.
"I- Uhh..."
"Why?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked, honestly confused. Why what?
"Why didn't you tell your parents anything? Why is Quil so special, you'll do things and have a laugh with him but not me? And how come you're acting so different? Like before, you were stubborn, but now you're acting all shy, huh? Can you explain that for me, because I just don't know!" He cried, sitting down on my bed, glaring at me.
"I- I didn't know- It's just-" I stuttered. Jakes glare grew in intensity and he stood up, walking over to me.
"Tell me the answer Suze." He growled. I looked down.
"I've never been this close to anyone before, Jake. I don't know how to react... I guess I'm just...overwhelmed." I whispered. Jakes breath caught in his throat.
"I'm your first boyfriend?" He choked out. I smiled slightly.
"Well...technically, you're not my boyfr-" He cut me off with his lips on mine, his hands resting lightly on my forearms. When he pulled away, he had a huge grin on his face.
"So, you're telling me that I get the most beautiful, smartest, strongest girl I know, and no one else has kissed or touched you in a romantic way?" He asked, sounding slightly giddy.
"Well...in a way, yeah I guess. You're the first guy who hasn't forced me into a kiss." I said, looking down and blushing. Jake pulled me into a light hug, running his fingers through my hair and planting a kiss on my forehead. I wrapped my arms around his chest and snuggled into him.
"Come on, let's go back downstairs before Quil and Embry tear up your living room." Jake said with a slight chuckle. He was right – knowing the guys, it would only take them 2 minutes to turn a perfectly clean room into a pigsty. Or wolf den, I suppose. Jake took my hand in his and led me downstairs, where Quil and Embry were wrestling in the living room.
"Arh, Oof!" Quil cried, as Embry pinned him to the floor.
"Whoa, Quil, Em, get a room, guys." I teased, blinking a few times and shaking my head. It was fun to tease Quil and Embry because they always played along.
"Okay, come on Quil, up to Suze's room!" Embry cried, jumping off Quil and helping him up. Quil grabbed his hand and swung it between them, staring at Embry with big goo-goo eyes, making me laugh. All of the guys joined in too and Quil and Embry pulled their hands away and grinned.
"So, want to do something?" I asked. "I'm bored." Being honest, I was. The fun from the movie had evaporated, and I was left with boredom.
"We could play games or watch TV?" Quil asked.
"Or we could go running." Jake said, "We could play tag in our phased forms or something."
"Tag? Really, Jake? What are you – 5?" Embry laughed, making Jake blush slightly.
"Hey, shush Embry. I'll play tag." I said, smiling slightly.
"Tag it is then!" Quil cried. He shot out of the living room and out the front door. I saw him run past the living room window and around the house. Embry walked out of the house too, followed by Jake. I should lock the house, we can just climb through the window. Easier and more effective that trying to carry around keys. I snatched the keys up and walked out the door, locking the house and posting the keys back in the letterbox, then followed the house around. Quil, Embry and Jake were all stood facing each other, smiling.
"Rules." Embry started, "No alpha commands to make us stop or slow down, Suze." He said, looking at me. I hadn't even thought of that. "No complaining and last of all, anything goes. Except the first 2 rules." A silly smile grew on my face at Embry's stupid rules. He turned quickly and walked over to the forest, all of us following behind, then pulled off his shirt.
"I'm not changing in front of you guys." I scoffed, walking deeper into the forest. I tugged my shirt over my head then pulled off my jeans and folded them up. I put them on the ground next to a tree and then looked around, making sure no one was looking. The coast was clear. I pulled off my underwear quickly and threw them on the pile and phased, then kicked some grass over the top to hide them slightly.
Hey Suze! Is something wrong? Seth asked in a happy voice.
Nope, why don't you go and have a rest, Seth. Thanks for running patrol. I appreciate it. I replied, stretching.
Okay Suze! If you need anything, just howl...or roar! He replied, before phasing back. It was only me in my head now, showing me Quil, Embry and Jake hadn't phased yet.
"We'll be there in a sec, Suze!" Embry shouted through the forest, as if he was already reading my mind.
A minute later, Quil and Embry phased. Their thoughts were being shouted in my head, almost painfully. I yelped and ground my head into the ground. They were too loud! Poor Edward, he must feel millions of times worse than this!
Whoa, Suze? You okay? Embry thought, his thoughts stopping and only focusing on me.
I've only shared with 1 person maximum so far; just give me a second to adjust. I hissed, shaking my head and blinking rapidly. Even the feeling of having 2 other people in my head was strange. It made me feel strange and off balanced. I wonder if this is what schizophrenic people feel like. I mused, my lips curling up in a feline smile. After a few seconds of silence, my mind adjusted and I felt normal again. Whoo! Un-normal mind sharing!
Totally. Quil said. Can we stop blocking all of our feelings now? He asked and I laughed, mentally.
Sure. All of their feelings started swimming around my head.
Aww! Who's the cute little girl? I asked Quil, showing the picture of an adorable kid I stole from his head. She was gorgeous! Short black hair pulled up in pigtails, copper coloured skin with rosy cheeks and big brown eyes, framed by thick black lashes. I could just eat her up!
She's...Claire. Quil replied and his whole mind was screaming happy. She's my imprint.
Aww! She's so cute! I squealed, laughing.
Wait, you're not repulsed or freaked out at the fact that I'm imprinted with a 3 year old? Quil asked, shocked.
No...I trust you Quil, why should I be freaked out? Besides, I can see that your like...the big brother any girl would want, why would I be repulsed? I asked, confused. It was only an imprint, she was his soul mate, he wouldn't hurt her. Just then, a huge wolf ran at me through the trees and tackled me to the ground.
Suze, you are so awesome. Quil thought, licking my face repeatedly.
Well...yeah. Yeah, I am, aren't I? I said, laughing and swatting Quil away. So have you had bad reactions from that?
Too, too many. Quil replied, showing me Leah, Jake, Embry, Paul, Colin, Brady, the face Bella pulled when she heard, Emily, Kim and some other lady. You're the only one who hasn't freaked out or called me a paedo.
Hey! I didn't call you a paedo! Embry thought, soaring through the trees and pouncing on us both. We rolled around on the floor for a few seconds, trying to pin each other down when we heard a yelp, which sounded like it came from Jake. Maybe we should go check that out?
Yeah. I replied, crawling off of Quil and Embry and shaking myself off. I had leaves and twigs sticking to my short fur, trust me. Itchy, much? I started twitching my shoulder blades, trying to get a twig that was sticking to my skin off, but it was stuck. I tried to bite it off, but I couldn't turn my head far around enough, so I lay on the floor and rolled over, wriggling until it came off.
Isn't it supposed to be the dogs that roll over? Embry asked.
Yeah. Good point. Quil agreed, laughing. I rolled over and stood up back on my paws and my tongue lolled out of my mouth.
Woof. I teased, making the guys laugh. So, come on, should we find Jake or what?
Yeah, come on. Quil said, walking through the trees. I followed after him in silence through bushes and around trees, trying to think of a word to describe each of their minds, when Embry's thoughts interrupted me.
Suze, stop. He said.
Damn you Embry, you shouldn't have said anything, I want to carry on now. I said, pawing at the ground. Why not, anyway?
You know what, carry on! I insist! He thought, laughing.
No, Suze, don't listen to him. Quil thought. Embry came back through the bushes and smirked at me, circled me half-way then snapped at me, close to my face.
What the hell, Em? I thought. Embry stood up on his back legs and lurched forward, slamming into me and pushing me backwards into the bush. He did it again, and I jumped backwards through the bush to avoid his paws. Embry poked his head from the bush and smirked, and I growled loudly at him. He came through the bush more and pushed me again and I heard a yelp directly behind me. I swept my tail low across the floor and it came into contact with something warm, so I looked over my shoulder...to see the back of a very naked Jake, with his clothes in his hands. He was looking at me over his shoulder, blushing red and I looked back quickly to see Embry laughing. I growled and pounced at him, knocking him back through the bush and dragged my claws down his chest, leaving marks. What the hell, Em?! I was more then just shocked, I was more embarrassed than I'd ever been in my life.
I thought you would have liked to see that, Suze! Embry thought, showing Jakes butt. I cringed and slammed my head into his.
You tricked me! I screamed, raking my claws down his front leg. He yelped in pain and I jumped off of him. What was the point in that?! What exactly were you trying to prove?! I felt Jake phase, he was even more embarrassed than I was. Embry flashed the picture of Jakes butt again and I pounced on him again, clawing his chest. I swear Jake, This moron tricked me into doing that! I would never invade your privacy like that.
I know. When you're done with Embry, mind if I have a turn? He growled, coming through the bushes. When he saw me, he stared for a second, then looked down, embarrassed. In his mind, he was thinking about me; my smile, my hair, my eyes. Then, another set of images showed up; Chocolate brown eyes, dark wavy hair and slightly uneven lips, the top lip being too full for the bottom. He was comparing the 2. Because I was distracted, Embry decided to roll over and pin me under him.
Ha! He thought, licking my face.
Poor Suze! Quil thought, laughing, She's getting covered in Embry spit!
Jake was still comparing, but this time it was bodies. Mine; chest and hip heavy, with a small waist and long legs and the other set; slight curves always hidden behind baggy clothes, very short and legs with a scar on one knee. I pushed Embry off of me and stuck my tongue out at him, then hid behind Quil.
Get back here, foul kitty! Embry thought, teasing and chasing me. I jumped up a tree, where the wolves couldn't climb and smirked down at him. When Jake started comparing personalities, we all listened.
He thought of me; hot-headed and strong yet kind and gentle, and then the other girl; shy and timid but stubborn and clingy. Then he thought of our voices, unaware that we were listening. Mine; slightly husky and filled with emotion, and the other girl's; high pitched and stuttering a lot. When he thought of the ones that he preferred, my heart almost stopped beating.
He chose me over the other girl, every time. The other girl that was so much prettier than I could ever be. He chose me. I was stunned.
Whoa! Jake! Embry thought, snapping Jake out of his own little world. You've stunned Suze into silence!
I- Uhh... You guys weren't supposed to see that... Jake stuttered, embarrassed. I'm sure if he could blush in this form, he would be glowing right now.
Oh my gosh... I thought. Who was that girl? The pretty one with the brown hair?
That was Bella. Jake replied, staring up at me. He showed me a memory of Bella, the same memory he got the images from. I was so stunned; I almost fell out of the tree.
Wait, what?! You chose me over Bella? The girl you've loved since god knows when? The Bella who you would do anything for, even give up your own life?
Yeah. I don't love Bella anymore. I never knew how cunning she could be, how much she tried to hurt you. You're much better than Bella, Suze. I can't believe I didn't notice that earlier. It would have stopped a lot of heartbreak. I climbed down the tree and walked over to Jake, nuzzling my face into the side of his. I could feel love and adoration rolling off of him in waves and all of it was for me. Me.
I love you Jake. I thought, quietly. He pressed his nose into my neck and licked my fur.
I love you too, Suze. More than you could imagine. He replied.
Yuck. Can we play now or are you two gonna be in your own little world? Embry asked and I pulled back from Jake.
I'm in. I thought, then pressed my nose to Jakes quickly and pulled back, trotting over to Embry.
Good, let's play! Quil thought, hitting Embry with his paw. Tag! He thought. I sprinted away from Embry and darted through the forest.
Tag! He thought, as he pounced on Jake. Jakes russet coloured form darted through the bushes and started sprinting towards me, and we both dodged trees and ran through bushes as he tried to tag me.
Catch me if you can, little puppy! I teased, running faster and rocketing away from Jake in Quil's direction.
After around 4 hours in the forest, messing around and playing games, we decided to phase back and get something to eat.
So, should we just go out and get Italian? I asked, picturing Italian food in my mind and licking my lips.
I'd like that. Quil agreed, and the other 2 boys nodded. I ran over to where I hid my clothes, let out a loud roar and when I heard Seth phase, I told him what we were doing and phased back then pulled them on, and started walking back to the house.
"Quil? Jake? Embry?" I called out, to see where they were.
"Yeah?" I heard, a few meters to the right. I turned and saw Quil walking out of a bush, fully dressed.
"I'm gonna go get the key. Meet you 'round the front." I said and he nodded in reply. I ran to my house and climbed the drainpipe, yanking open the window and climbing through, then running downstairs, grabbing the keys on the floor and opening the door. When I opened it up, Quil, Jake and Embry were all stood there, looking as if they've been waiting for ages.
"Finally. We thought we'd have to sleep out here! You need to speed up woman!" Quil teased, winking to prove he was only messing.
"Sorry I couldn't meet your expectations, Old Quil. Didn't mean to bother you." Quil looked appalled. He didn't like being called Old Quil. I winked at him and Jake started laughing at us. "Well, come in guys. You don't feel the cold much, but I do." For some reason. They all stepped into the house and Jake sat on one of the bottom steps on the stairs. I strolled upstairs and grabbed my wallet and walked back downstairs and grabbed a coat.
"Here, let me help with that." Jake said, standing up and helping me get my coat on. "Are you actually cold or are you just trying to keep up appearances?" He asked and I shrugged.
"A little of both." I opened the door once more and gestured for the guys to go first. When I was out, I locked the house behind me and started walking down the street, Quil and Embry in the front and Jake and I walking behind them. He was stood on my right side, with my left hand in his right and his left hand around my waist, pulling me closer.
On the way to the Italian restaurant in Forks, he would occasionally whisper silly things in my ear, like 'Quil has a big butt' or 'Embry looks like a girl', making me laugh, or kiss me sweetly on the cheek. This was one of those times. He leant over and kissed me on the cheek, then rested his cheek on mine.
"You know, the elders want to meet you, you know." He whispered.
"Why? They already know me." I replied, laughing slightly.
"You really want to know?" He whispered and I nodded slightly. He leant down slightly, so his lips were close to my ear. "They want to meet my imprint." He whispered, so quietly I almost missed it. My heart skipped a few beats and I gasped. I was his imprint? I was his soul mate?! I turned to face him, my eyes wide and he smiled shyly.
"I'm your imprint?" I mouthed, not able to make any sound come out of my mouth. He nodded and I squealed, jumping towards him for a hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist, lifting me so my feet were inches above the ground and spun me around. When he put me back down on my feet, I was dizzy and had to grab onto his arm to stop myself from falling. "So I get you all to myself for the rest of our lives?" I asked and he nodded and grabbed my hands in his. He lifted one to his mouth and kissed the back of my hand and I blushed, stepping closer to kiss his cheek.
"Aw, come on guys. Not only are we starving, but its getting late! They'll close soon, so if you 2 don't mind, we'd like to get there sometime within 10 minutes!" Quil cried from in front of us. "And you 2 are so not sitting at our table!"
"Fine then." Jake shouted back, then stared at me. "Suze?"
"Yeah, Jake?" I asked, cocking my head to the side.
"Will you go on a date with me?" He asked and I laughed.
"Sure Jake, when and where?" I asked, laughing.
"The Italian restaurant in Forks in 10 minutes?"
"Okay, Jake. It's a date!" I cried, giggling. He reached over and kissed my forehead, then pulled me back into the position we were in before, but rather than just wrapping his arm around my waist, he shoved his hand in the far back pocket of my jeans. I blushed slightly and leaned into him while we walked down the darkening street.
Hope it wasn't too bad, I got really stuck on this, so I just threw in the imprint thing and a date, which was originally planned later. Sorry again.
