A/N So basically I guess you can count on me updating this story every summer.. for some reason I always find myself coming back to this when I'm off school. Ah well. Enjoy!

"what... Is going... On?" snarled Jacob, caught in The surprise of walking in on me and Leslie.
I stood up fast, fighting off embarrassment.
"Why do you care?" I growled, shaking slightly.
"Because I'm your Alpha and I deserve to know what you're doing behind my back!" he started walking towards me. "I was coming here to tell you that we found a lead on the bloodsuckers your leech dragged here, and I come into find you all over her?" he sneered, shaking visibly.
"I wasn't all over her. And she's not a leech. She's more human than you are." my words were drizzled with acid. Leslie started scooting backwards, still on the floor. I stepped in front of her.
I couldn't believe Jacob was talking about Leslie this way. I was shaking even worse, and getting hot. Every instinct in my body was tuned in to turning into a wolf and ripping his head off, but I couldn't. I couldn't put her in danger.
I stepped back to try to clear my head, and in my peripherals I saw Leslie dash from behind eke and make a break for the door.
"No!" I cried, reaching for her.
Jacob threw himself in her way and she hit hard with a smack onto his chest.
That was it.

It was terrifying- watching the two wolves shake as they spoke daggers to each other.
I stood up behind Seth, mentally planning my escape. I sidestepped out from his shadow and bolted for the door, counting on my vampire speed.
It wasn't enough, and Jacob Black's chest hit me just as I was about to make my escape.
He wrapped his thick, warm arms wrapped around me with crushing force that probably would have killed me, had I been human.
I heard a growl and turned to see a giant sandy colored wolf standing in Seth's place.
"No! Seth stop!" I lurched forward, but Jacob's arms gripped me tighter. I gave up resistance and settled for hoping Seth came to his senses. Jacob's Words from earlier resonated in my head.

"I was coming here to tell you that we found a lead on the bloodsuckers your leech dragged here, and I come into find you all over her?"

What bloodsuckers was he talking about? And why was it my fault they were coming? Everything seems to be my fault nowadays.
Seth growled again, his dark eyes shining and his pointed teeth showing.
"Seth, please. Please stop. I don't like this. If you don't stop now I'm leaving for good. I can handle myself." I had no intention of going through with this threat, but i was hoping it would be enough to calm him down.
"What power do you think you have over him that threatening to leave would change anything?" Jacob looked down at me. "We don't all fall for your deadly good looks and charm. Seth was probably bored and needed someone to entertain him and keep him company. Bloodsuckers and Wolves don't get along."
I looked into Jacob's eyes and knew he was right.
Seth never loved me. He was making it up to entertain himself. Everything- all of it- was too good to be true. I went completely slack in his arms.
Then I got angry. I had been completely used. I had been lied to. I could feel myself getting hot in Jacob's arms, and I knew it wasn't him. The very air around me had started bursting into small wisps of flames.
"What in-" Jacob pushed me away and I fell to the floor, searing my handprints into the wood.
"You." I seethed, not sure whether to point my anger towards the one who had lied to me or the one who woke me from the dream. "Why?" I settled on both. The ground beneath them started catching on fire.
Vampires started rolling in, smelling the fire and sensing danger.
"Leslie! Stop!" Alice cried from behind Jacob.
"No! This SUCKS. All of it. I thought for one second that this might be ok. But it was all a lie. He lied to me." I sprung onto the sandy wolf, clawing at his fur and starting to go limp. Half hearted screams burst from my throat. Jacob and the Cullens started trying to pull me off of Seth. It was a wonder he didn't fight back.
"No!" I cried over and over again as I shook off those trying to calm me down. The air around me kept popping in weakening flares.
The fur I was pulling at shrunk and turned to skin, and I found myself laying on Seth's bare chest.

So. Embarrassing. I had managed to phase back, wrapping my lower half in my bed blanket somehow, but other than that, I was stark naked, with Leslie on my chest. Everyone and their brother seemed to be in the room. Leslie was all but sobbing her brains out, dry heaving on my chest.
I stroked her back, trying to calm me down.
"No!" she screamed, ripping herself from under my arm. "you lied to me!" she looked in my eyes and tried standing. I sat up and grabbed her hand, holding it against her tries to escape.
"No." I whispered to her. "I never lied to you." all I could do was hope she believed me.
Alice grabbed her and with the aid of the rest of the Cullens, pulled her out of my room.
"Seriously, Jacob? You have no room to judge. My imprint is just as human as yours." I stood, fixing the blanket that was keeping me from embarrassing myself.
"You're... You're kidding, right? You're not kidding." Jacob looked at me in shock, then burst out laughing. He rocked on the floor, holding his stomach, literally in hysterics.
"I don't see what's so funny." I looked down, embarrassed. While Jacob was preoccupied with laughing at me, I slipped some shorts on. I picked up my ripped clothes. What a shame. Perfectly nice outfit.
"Listen, bro. I'm sorry." Jacob said, standing up. "But that is probably the worst imprint possible. That was so nasty, walking in on y'all snogging. Man. You don't waste any time, do you?" Jacob had transformed from the alpha-wolf-on-guard to his funny and usual self. "But seriously." his eyes narrowed. "She has some rouge leeches coming for her, and we're not even sure we're obligated to protect her." I looked at him, ready to yell and make him listen. "Well, i guess we're obligated now. Does Leah know Bout this? No? Does anyone?"
I looked down.
"She does. And um, well, Edward. Edward knows. But only because he was listening to my brain." I blushed.
"So the bloodsucker knew before me? That's just wrong." Jacob nudged my shoulder with his fist.

I wasn't sure what had caused his sudden and dramatic change of heart. It was probably because his imprint was Renesmee, so he really had no room to judge. Also, it's kind of wolf-code to be accepting of a pack-mate's imprint, because there's really no changing it.

"No! Let me back in there! Jacob's gonna kill him!" I screeched as four Cullens pulled me away from Seth's room.
"Seth is fine, Leslie." Alice soothed me.
"No! No." I said, less enthusiastically. "He lied to me." I said under my breath. "He lied to me."
"What did he lie about?" me and Alice were sitting on the pink couch.
"He said he loved me." I realized how stupid I sounded, and how stupid I had been to believe him.
"Now that's a silly thing for a teenage boy to say." said Alice with a condescending tone.
"He said it was some werewolves magic thing." I was shaking in her arm, angry at him for lying, and angry at myself for believing him.
"Did he say he imprinted on you?" Alice said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, yeah I think that's what he said." I was still shaking.
"Can they have better timing?" Alice rolled her eyes and let go of me. "Just wait here. I'll be back soon."

My bedroom door swung open and a sickeningly sweet stench filled the room. Jacob swung around and I peered over his shoulder to see the house pixie, Alice, storming in.

"Could you dogs please stop figuring out ways to ruin everything?" She folded her small but strong arms over her chest. "How do you expect me to see anything when you keep intertwining your lives with ours? Just trying to figure out where the clan that's coming to kill Leslie- in case you've forgotten, there happens to be someone coming for our new friend- makes me sick to my stomach because you have woven yourself into her timeline!" She stomped her foot on the ground.

"I know- I know." I looked down, wringing my hands. "I'm sorry. Really, I am."

"Well you better find a way to protect her." She looked scoldingly at us as she motioned her finger back and forth between me and Jacob. Panic reached it's icy hands down my throat and yanked my stomach up to my throat.

Jacob noticed my discomfort and reassured both me and Alice simultaneously.

"We'll figure it out."

"What is Alice doing?" I sputtered. The night's events had worn me down. I could feel myself getting tired. Of course, it was all in my head. My body couldn't physically become tired.

"Lecturing the mutts, I'd assume." Edward spoke disapprovingly, an emotion that I was sure wasn't directed at his sister.

I had been released from the firm bonds of my new family's arms. I sat criss-cross on the floor like a small child throwing a temper tantrum. I was pouty and tired, with my arms folded over my chest. I was sinking from the high I had felt earlier, when I had believed Seth had loved me, when I had thought I had found a silver lining to my cloudy life. I stood up, my head still hanging, and walked into my room. I laid myself down on the carpet, holding one of my many pink pillows in fetal position. I shut my eyes tight and wished harder than I had ever wished before for things to go back to how they used to be.

I imagined my mother's embrace, as cool and compassionate and real as it had felt the last time I had seen her.

I imagined my sister's coo, as innocent and charming as I remembered.

I hoped if I could imagine them hard enough, they would become real.

I just laid there, soaking myself in sorrow, for a long while. I started to feel as though I was spinning, laying on the floor of a carousel, that feeling you get when you're on the edge of slumber, although I wasn't about to fall asleep.

I don't know how long I had been sulking when I felt myself become surrounded by warmth.

The only thing I could think, as I felt his arm slide over mine, was that I had found some way to dream.
