Olivia's POV

"How about the beginning." I said in a softer tone. It was like he was melting me every time I saw him. I just couldn't stay angry. He was silent again and I was growing angrier again by the second.

"You know what! Don't explain. I'll just turn my back so you can resume kissing behind it." I said turning for the door until something grabbed my arm and growled. I turned around to see him; his eyes were darker and his mouth was a straight line. I had the odd urge to whimper.

"Stay." He said more like a command than a question. Huffing, I walked myself back into his living room and stood randomly in the middle with my arms crossed over my chest. He leaned against his front door protectively as if I was about to run away.

"It started six days ago. Melanie is an old friend. I bumped into her in the store and things just escalated." He explained while he looked at his toes. Six days? Jesus Christ they're fast.

"So… do you love her?" I asked him gravely while playing with my fingernails. Please say no.

"No." He said surely and clearly.

"Do you like her?" I asked in the same tone. I knew he knew what kind of like I meant.

"No." He said surely again. Suddenly the anger boiled up in me again. In the short time I had been gone, had embry turned into some kind of Casanova? The kind that was 'only after one thing'?

"Then why were you kissing her?" I screamed as I stormed up to him; getting all up in his face.

"Because you weren't here!" He screamed back at me and I stepped back, instinctively making myself smaller; his words were like a colossal slap in the face.

"You weren't… she was… Do you know how it was? Being without someone you love? There was nothing left for me! I told you I loved you and you returned with a knife for my back! You told me you used me. Do you know how much that hurt? Well do you?" He continued. I cringed; couldn't take the guilt anymore; all I could do was channel it into anger.

"It wasn't easy for me either you know. How was I supposed to know that you were all… supernatural too? I thought I was going to hurt you! I could kill you Embry. All I have to do is slip just once and it's over; even now. I'm still not safe now; but I cant stay away. Do you know how much weight that put on my shoulders?" I screamed back in his face. It just seemed to anger him more.

"Don't you dare talk about weight on your shoulders, okay? All you had to do was love me too. That's it. I waited for you when you were 'sick' at the Cullens. I called you all day long and went to your house everyday… and then I got that call. What if we never met again? We would both be without our im- soul mates." I didn't fail to notice his weird lapse in words.

"If I'm that bad then why am I here?" I asked as I tried to get around him to the door; he just moved with me and blocked it more. Suddenly he took my shoulders and crushed his lips to mine fiercely. I didn't push away, I kissed him back. It was amazing; like fireworks. We broke apart about three minutes later because Embry was out of breath; I on the other hand was unfazed.

"Because I love you! You're my imprint!" He said breathlessly. Imprint, what's that?

"What's that?" I voiced my question happily; too giddy from the kiss to say anything angrily. He smiled and dragged me over to the sofa; sitting me on his lap.

"Imprinting is when a wolf sees a girl from the first time and everything just seems right. It's like the wolf inside selects someone who's perfect for you and you have to be with her. If you try and stay away, it hurts you both. All you want to do is protect her… love her" By the time Embry finished, there were tears in my eyes.

"Come on, I don't remember you being this emotional." He laughed as he wiped my fallen tears. Suddenly a thought hit me; he didn't love me for real. He loved me because the wolf magic was making him. I stood up from his lap promptly and rubbed at my eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked looking dumbfounded.

"You don't love me Embry. You only think you do because of the magic. That's why you were with Melanie…" I spat her name. Embry was staring at me like I had two heads.

"What? No, that's not what I meant. It came out wrong." Embry tried as he stood up with me but I was too sad to hear what he was saying.

"You didn't love me until you saw me at the bonfire." I accused him as I started towards the door. I pieced the situation together and it all made sense. I felt sick to my stomach when he grabbed my hand again.

"You're not going anywhere." He growled at me. Every bone in my body was telling me to listen to him but I wouldn't give in.

I yanked my arm away and escaped into the forest. Tears cascading down my cheeks as I ran to the Cullen mansion. I heard a pained wolf cry in the distance but I refused to turn back; not this time. I slowed as I reached the house and tried to dust off my clothing. I opened the large door gingerly and ran straight upstairs; ignoring my family.

"Olivia?" Jasper called to me but I ignored him burying my head under my sheets.

"Olivia?" Jasper called from the doorway.

"Leave me alone!" I screamed as I turned over. I knew I was being childish but right now it didn't matter; I was hurting. Jasper sighed and closed my room door behind him as he left silently. I instantly wished that I hadn't sent him away then; he could have curved my emotions. Why am I so stupid?

'I wake up early in the morning,

Round the crack of dawn an…'

I pulled my phone out of my pants and stared at the screen. It was him. I aborted the call and continued to cry. I stood up and walked over to my window facing the forest. I opened it and climbed out; the cool winds blowing through my hair. I jumped swiftly onto a conifer tree about nine meters away; I sniffed as I dug my nails into the tree and climbed up until I reached the very top. I sat there for god knows how long, still as the wind blew the branches beneath me. What do I do? Do I leave? Will it make it any easier on my heart? After an hour of debating with myself I jumped off, sailing in the air as I fell. At the least moment I turned to land silently on my feet like a cat. I jumped back into my window and cried some more.

When there were no more tears I undressed and pulled Jake's jersey over my head and went to sleep. I knew it was the middle of the day but I couldn't care less. I was woken up by a light tapping on my shoulder; my nose told me it was Alice.

"Hey Alice." I groaned as I stretched again. For some reason, there was a weird tight feeling pulling on my chest; like someone had shot me. I wasn't used to any kind of pain in this new life. I sat up in my bed and sat crossed legged facing her. Her face was sympathetic and I could tell she was forcing herself to smile.

"How are you feeling?" She said as she walked over to my closet to pick out some clothes for me to wear today.

"Crappy. How are you?" I asked her faking happiness. She sighed and continued to poke around in the closet.

"It's your birthday today." She stated as she returned with a dress and high heels. I shook my head and she dashed back in returning with some high tops with a scowl on her face. Jesus Christ, I slept through the day and night? I tried to laugh but failed miserably as the pain in my chest was growing yet staying the same. Strange.

"Yep." I had remembered last night but I didn't feel like celebrating anything right now. I missed Embry. This need for Embry was different and like nothing I had ever experienced before.

"I'm throwing you and Bella a party for after school." She said as she left the room giggling before I could object. Great! The knot in my chest was still apparent as I had a shower and dressed in the clothes Alice had picked for me and left my room.

I trudged downstairs and sat on one of the stools in the kitchen. Esme had made me a lovely breakfast but I just felt sick looking at it. What, so I cant eat now? This imprinting shit is totally messed up. Maybe school would keep my mind of him.

"Alright now for your present." Alice said as she pranced down the stairs with a box that looked bigger than her. What the hell?

"Alice, I thought I said no presents." I groaned as I crossed my arms over my chest and looked elsewhere. I felt like I'd taken too much from the Cullens already. Alice's smile never faltered as she dumped it in my hand.

"It's the only one and it's from all of us." She explained. I looked around the room and my family nodded at her story. I smiled thankfully and lifted the top off. My mouth was nearly hanging on the floor when I saw the beautiful pitch black bike helmet and leather all in one. Oh my god. This gear must have cost at least a grand. My second family started laughing lightly at the expression on my face; I must have been dribbling but I didn't care.

"Thank you all so much. When I finally get a bike. This will be perfect." I said as I hugged each and every one of them.

"Why don't you try on the helmet?" Jasper drawled from the couch. As if it was possible; my smile grew bigger as I lifted the helmet but something was making noise inside. My brows furrowed as I flared my nostrils to survey the object; the rustic smell of metal wafted into my nose. I pulled them out and just about died. Keys! No! Way! I started screaming and bouncing around before running outside where a black Harley Davidson was waiting for me. Oh. My. God.

Thoughts?
What do you think?

So Embry and Olli aren't together. Sad isn't it.

They always get the wrong idea about imprinting don't they?
