Chapter twenty-five: Decisions

Jared's P.O.V.

I just left Kim's house and I was planning on going to Emily's for some more food. I think Kim new I was going to do that. I was just trying to be polite about not taking too much food, but I was a bit hungry! The food was good, but just not enough. I arrived at Emily's and walked inside. The whole pack was sitting at the kitchen table and they all looked at me when I walked in. ''How did it go?'' Emily asked standing up. I scratched my head. ''Pretty good, I think, despite the awkward questions'' I said sitting on a chair. ''What kind of questions?'' Paul asked raising his eyebrows. I glared at him. He just grinned. ''None of your business'' I said smirking at him. ''Come on bro'' Paul whined. ''Nope!'' I said grabbing some chicken wings. Suddenly I remembered about what Kim's dad said. I really didn't want Kim to go all the way to California for just becoming a doctor. I wasn't eating my wings and I think Emily noticed. ''Why aren't you eating your wings Jared. You love food'' she said giving me a worried look. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up. ''It's just that after our senior year Kim is going to California to become a doctor'' I said picking at my wings. The whole pack looked at me with sympathetic looks. ''I'm sorry man. You should talk to her. Maybe she will change her mind'' Embry said patting me on the back. ''Yeah maybe'' I sighed. ''Jared you imprinted on her. I think she can't stay away from you that long too. Maybe she will just stay here in La Push and go to college close by'' Emily said trying to comfort me.

''Hey bro, since you're not going to eat those wings, can I have them'' Paul asked reaching his hand out. Asshole! If there's food he's there. ''No man, I want the wings!'' Embry whined slapping his hand away. They started to argue about who was getting the wings and Emily rolled her eyes. Quil reached out and grabbed the wings. He eat them while Embry and Paul were still arguing about who was getting them. I snickered. ''Hey!'' Emily said smacking them both in the head. They both shut up and looked at her. ''You might want to stop fighting. Those wings are already gone'' she said smirking at them. Jacob, Sam and I started laughing and Quil got a guilty look on his face. Paul and Embry noticed. ''QUIL! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!'' Paul yelled getting up. ''Shit!'' Quil mumbled before getting up and racing out the door. ''Aren't you supposed to go after him'' Jacob asked to Embry who was just sitting there like nothing happened. ''No I'm cool. I'll just take this'' he said grabbing a muffin.

''So are you going over to Kim's house after patrol?'' Sam asked. ''Yeah I think so. I just want her to stay'' I sighed. ''Hey don't worry. It's going to be okay honey. Just take a Rosevicee'' she said offering me a glass. ''Thanks'' I said jugging the whole glass down. I set it back on the table and stood up. ''Ready for patrol?'' Jacob asked me. ''Yes I am'' I said. The sooner patrol is over, the sooner I can go to Kim. Paul and Quil got through the door. Paul had a smug-look on his face and Quil had a few scratched on his face and chest, but you could already see them healing. Embry hi-fived Paul and they said back. ''Come on let's go!'' Jacob said walking out of the door. I followed and we walked towards the woods. We pulled our close off and phased.

Kim's P.O.V.

I was lying in my bed, waiting for Jared to come. I looked at the clock and it was only 11:30PM. I knew that Jared wasn't going to be here soon, because of that damn patrol. Ugh…don't they understand that I need Jared! Okay, I'm being selfish now, but I just can't be away too long from him. We really have to talk about me going to California. My dad wants me to go and my mom too, but I don't know if I'll be able to go there. I know I don't have to let a guy stop my dreams, but I love him so much! It just isn't healthy anymore. I wasn't sure about it though. I mean I really love Jared, but I really want to become a doctor. I'm just really confused now.

I was listening to music on my mp3 and was humming to a song, when suddenly I saw a shadow next to me. I screamed a little, but I held my hand in front of my mouth so that my parents didn't wake up. The person turned on my lamp on my nightstand and it was just Jared. ''Relax babe, it's just me'' he said sitting next to me on the bed. ''You idiot, you just almost gave me a heart attack!'' I whisper-yelled. ''Sorry'' he said looking guilty. ''It's okay, I'm still alive'' I said hugging him. He was shirtless again! Ahh…I could really start to get used to this. ''Yes, I wouldn't know what to do without you'' he said pulling away and looking into my eyes. They showed so much love in them and I felt exactly the same. We are just meant to be. I scooted over so that he could lie down with me. He smiled at me and lied next to me. He stayed on top of the covers because of his body temperature of course. ''How was patrol?'' I asked him. I wanted him to be safe and knowing that he was fighting vampires just gave me the creeps and worry about him even more. He pulled me as close as possible to him. ''It was okay. There were no vampires luckily'' he said. I shivered at the word. He looked down at me. ''Hey, don't be afraid Kim. Remember what I said. I'll protect you and nothing will hurt you'' he said pulling my chin up and leaning in. I leaned in too and our lips met in a soft kiss. He kissed me with passion and I kissed him back with the same feeling.

After a while he deepened the kiss and he hovered over me. I had to pull away for air, but that wasn't stopping him. He trailed kisses down my neck and to my collar bone and shoved his hand under my shirt. Ah…I think mister over here wants to continue what we started. I wasn't going to decline, but I knew I wasn't ready for THAT yet and I think he knew it too.

When I had air in my lungs again, he kissed back up to my mouth again. I groaned into his mouth and a growl escaped his chest. He continued to make circles with his hand over my belly and I shuddered under his touch. He tugged at my shirt and stopped kissing me, as if to ask permission for taking of my shirt. ''You have to know that that is all I'm taking of'' I said grinning at him. ''I don't mind'' he said pulling me up and gently pulling my shirt off. He tossed it somewhere in the my room. He looked at me and I felt kind of exposed. I tried to cover my chest. I know I still had a bra on, but he was looking at me so intense. ''Don't do that babe, you're beautiful'' he said pulling my hands away. I blushed. He looked in my eyes and started kissing me again. He ran his tongue across my bottom lip, but I was going to tease him. He licked again, but I still didn't give in. He trailed his hand up to my breast and squeezed it. I yelped into his mouth and he took the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth. Bastard! He knew I was going to do that. I just let him and trailed my own hands over his shoulders and tangled my fingers in his hair. He just roamed his hands all over my body and it was the best feeling ever. I pushed him off of me and now he was under. I kissed his six-pack and trailed kisses up his chest towards his mouth. I felt his chest grumble and I smiled. I knew he liked this.

After we had enough of the little make out session. Well little. I looked at the clock and saw it was already 12:30PM. ''Wow that was just…''. ''Amazing'' we said both at the same time. ''Yes it was'' Jared said lying next to me. I was trying to get up to put my shirt back on, but Jared held me back. ''What are you doing?'' he asked. ''Well, I was going to put my shirt on'' I said. He hugged me. ''No I like you better with it off'' he said. I could feel him grinning. ''Jerk'' I said. he noticed the sarcasm. ''Maybe, but you love me'' he said kissing my head. ''Yes I do'' I sighed.

We just talked about stuff. ''So about California'' I said. He looked at me with sad eyes. ''You know I love you right?'' he asked me. I nodded. ''Well, you don't have to stay here for me Kim. I know it's your dream to become a doctor'' he said, but I could hear the sadness in his voice. I cupped his cheek. ''I know Jared, but I don't know if I can do this'' I said. ''What do you mean'' he asked looking panicked. ''I mean, I don't know if I can stay away from you for that long'' I said looking down. ''Baby, please don't be sad'' he said making me look up at him. ''I'm not'' I lied. He chuckled. ''I know you're lying'' he said. ''Yeah, what is up with you knowing how I feel?'' I asked. He seemed to think for a moment. I snapped my fingers in front of his face and he snapped out of it. ''Well?'' I asked. ''It's part of the imprint. I feel what you feel. It's a special bond'' he said. ''Okay, so has that anything to do with me feeling pain in my chest when I'm not around you?'' I asked. ''Yes I think so. Are you okay? Aren't you in any pain now?'' he asked checking me. ''No I'm fine Jared'' I said. He was too protective sometimes. ''Are you feeling it too then?'' I asked being all curious. ''Yes it kills me to be away from you. I'd like to spent every minute of my life with you'' he said brushing his finger against my not-bruised cheek anymore. I just put some make-up on it and you didn't even see it anymore. My parents didn't even notice. I smiled at him and he smiled back. '' You're the best thing that's ever happened to me Jared. I'd like to spent every minute with you too'' I said to him. He beamed at me. ''It's fate'' he said pushing his lips to mine.

We just lied in each other's arms and watched the ceiling. I felt my eye-lids start to become heavier. ''Jared. Stay please'' I said. He placed a kiss on my head. ''Of course babe, just go to sleep okay?'' he said. I nodded. I was too tired to answer right now. I felt him crawl under the covers. His heat making me even more comfortable. I snuggled into his chest and let the sleep take over me.

…

Jared's P.O.V.

I watched as my beautiful imprint's eyes closed and let sleep take over her. I was happy she asked me to stay with her. I'd do anything for her. I was glad she also felt the same about leaving to California. I don't want to take her dreams away, that she can't go to California because of me is making me feel really guilty. I know she wants to go, but our bond is just too strong right now. It would just cause us physical pain and I didn't want my angel to be in pain. I guess we'll have to work something out then. Till now, we'll just enjoy our time together and not worry about the end of the school year. And then her parents. What are they going to think when Kim says she isn't going to California. It's her dream and suddenly I pop in and she doesn't want to go. I'm sure her father is going to kill me then. Okay if that is even possible, but always be afraid of the stare of your girlfriends dad.

I watched as she lay there peaceful asleep in my arms. Warm and safe, just how it's meant to be. I listened to our steady heartbeats and after a while I felt myself fall asleep, dreaming about my Kim.
