Jacob POV

Kissing Revi was better than anything I expected. I'd be lying if I said I never thought about it before. In fact it wasn't our first kiss.

When we were eleven we decided it was time to get the first kiss deal over with. So we had settled our mutual curiosity by sitting in the woods and counting to three before deciding to kiss. It had been short and sweet, and we ended up running in different directions after wards. Not out of embarrassment, but we didn't really know what to do next.

I wondered if that's all we knew how to do now is run away from each other.

Then I looked at her face. All the wondering faded, there was only her. It was always only her.

I somehow remembered my father and led Revi and the guys over to the baggage area. Turned out he was over at the café. I knew from the look on his face he understood I had imprinted. He didn't look surprised in the slightest.

I tore my gaze from Revi, though it was painful and looked at my other two closest friends. They seemed so different just like Revi was. There had been a time when I knew the three of them better than myself. Now I wasn't so sure.

Revi seemed so comfortable with my dad, and still freaked out by me. The girl, who used to tell me everything, could barely utter more than a short sentence now.

She had changed so much. I watched her show my father her second tattoo and was shocked. Not by the tattoos, that was pure Revi, but at what I missed. Her tongue piercing was another shock. She had always wanted one, and used to keep tic tacs on her tongue when we were little to imagine it. I told her I'd go with her to get it done when she was allowed to. I realized then just how many promises I had broken, and wondered if they could be repaired.

I was confused when she wanted to go somewhere alone. I didn't think she was ready for that. We certainly had a lot to talk about; I tried to get ready to answer any questions she had.

Then she was running. I realized it wasn't from me, she wanted me to follow. I laughed slightly but was still confused.

"Rev what the hell?" I called to her, still following and picking up my pace.

"C'mon wolf boy let's see if you can outrun a half vamp." She laughed as she yelled back, and we were in the woods running to…well I wasn't sure where.

I knew I didn't care. She hadn't pushed me away. She had shown up at the airport and that showed me enough to know she wasn't leaving yet. I had to wonder though if the damage I'd done to her was too great.

I hadn't had enough time to come to terms with the fact that I had found my soul mate. It wasn't a surprise at all. There was always something there, imprinting just made it clear.

When she stopped, I did the same. As she turned to smile at me and catch her breath I saw her even more clearly. There was sunlight in Port Angeles, and she looked like the girl I'd always known, only more womanly. I couldn't help but stare.

Her growl was a surprise that's for sure. There were few times I remembered she was part vampire. She looked pretty scary now.

She swaggered over to me and punched me for the second time today. Could any other werewolf say that the day they imprinted, their soul mate gave them a mean right hook, twice?

She then said, "Snap outta it Black, we got a lot of shit to figure out."

She still had a ghost of a smile, but she turned more serious.

"Ok Rev, let's talk." The name felt so good to say. I sat down on the forest floor, knowing she'd pace when she talked, and I needed to sit. We were opposites but it good ways, and when she started pacing I felt comforted that some things never changed.

"So I'm your imprint."

"Yes you are."

"It doesn't bother you that I'm half vampire."

"Never did."

She stopped for a second but nodded and kept pacing. I saw her bite her lip, a sign that she was emotional. Yes maybe I missed a lot, but there was no doubt I still knew this girl better than myself.

"So what have you been up to the past two years?" She asked.

"Not much of anything. I went to school I worked at an autobody shop, and ate dinner with Dad. I wasn't much of a life in Arizona."

"Arizona. Nice, did you enjoy the sun?"

I looked up at her still pacing form. "You're asking about weather, are you serious Rev?"

"I have other questions I just don't know how to ask them. Did you make other friends?"

That was one question I dreaded. "One, someone I've known forever. Her father's the police chief in Forks. Bella Swan."

I waited to see her expression on the fact that my solitary friend in Phoenix had been a girl. Surprisingly she smiled. "That's a relief."

"What? I thought you'd be mad she's a girl. I mean nothing ever happened she's shy we barely even hung out. She's just a family friend." I hoped she understood. Yet she seemed mad.

"For your information, I'm relieved because believe it or not I care about you, I hoped you had friends wherever you were, and you were happy. I don't care if your friends were girls. I've never been that kind of person. I am the kind of person who wonders why her best friend in the entire world didn't write her one letter."

"I wanted you to move on."

"You say that one more time I'm going to kick your werewolf ass. I did move on in a sense. I kept living my life hell I even went on one or two dates."

I felt myself start shaking. I knew it was wrong, I had no kind of claim on her. But the thought still angered me.

"Don't you dare get mad at that. You were gone. I wasn't going to sit in my room all day staring out a window. I didn't think you were ever coming back and that tore me to pieces. But I didn't show it."

I looked at her sadly. "I didn't think we'd come back either. That's why I cut off contact with you three. Partly because I didn't want you waiting for me to come back, and I knew it would be hard for the both of us."

"Yes if you never came back letters and short visits would have been hard. But you were my person, I told you everything. I didn't know what to do when you were gone. It wasn't hard Jake it was like I was living half a life. I might have tried but nothing has been the same."

She stopped and shook her head. I got up and walked to her and took her hand, placing it on my face to see what she was thinking. It was mostly memories, of us. "Did I ruin us Reviana?"

She shook her head. "You were younger and not so bright so I think that's part of why you cut everything off. Things are very different now."

It was my turn to ask a hard question. "Is there someone else?"

Her laugh made me feel slightly better. "No silly. I said dates not I'm in a relationship. I'm not much of a dater. Plus I think even if I was with someone…" She trailed off and looked up at me, our eyes finally meeting again. "They can't compete with you. You're not just my past Jacob, you're my future. Now I know that. Even when you were gone I knew no one else would quite match up to you."

It wasn't the usual declaration of love that we read about or saw in movies, but it was all I needed to hear. "Does that mean you're my imprint?"

"We already established that, do you have sunstroke or something?" She smiled crookedly at me, a look I'd missed.

"I imprinted on you, but that doesn't mean you have to be with me. I'll be whatever you want me to be."

"Be here. That's all I ask for now. Just be here with me."

"That's exactly what I want and need, Cullen. To be wherever you are."

She smiled and took my hand, and we started running back La Push. I knew the second we were at my old pink house. I would have if my eyes had been closed. The smell of home was there. The girl who made it home, was there.

Her father was there.

Damnit. I looked at Edward shaking Billy's hand as the guys unloaded the van. He stopped, I knew he scented us. He looked at me and I tensed waiting for his fury at me holding his daughters hand. After all in the process of breaking my own heart I had broken hers.

Instead he smiled the crooked smile Revi had inherited and waved at us.

I felt reassured and shocked, and Revi pulled me forward. I tried to block the slight shakes I got from Edwards scent. One thing I couldn't block was my thoughts.

Once we reached the others Edward looked shocked and not at all pleased. He looked at the two of us and then back at Revi.

"He imprinted on you?" He said in a clipped tone, and his fists clenched.

Well it was nice knowing you life, we had a good run.
