-Jocelyn POV-
My first time meeting Sam and Emily wasn't as dramatic as I made it out to be but I did feel slightly uncomfortable.
I felt as if Sam was their leader in some way; so this was literally fraternizing with the enemy.
They seemed like such nice and kind hearted people.
Based on my psychic abilities I could tell they were good people who truly cared about everyone around them which felt nice.
And having a good feeling about these people was not something I needed. It was already so difficult to stay away from all these people. The thing that seemed to attract me the most was their sense of loyalty, they all seemed so intune with one another – the couples more so than everyone- but as a group they weren't just good friends; they were family. And family is what I had not. Well here at least.
It was Saturday and I was up before 11am. Everyone was getting ready to head over to Kelly's house because she was hosting Jade's party. I felt this was going to be fun, I liked these people no matter how hard I tried not to. I got dressed in cut off swet shorts and a purple tank top, I put my long red hair in a bun on top of my head and put no make-up on; when I got home and ready for the party my face needed to be flawless.
"Hey Joc," Seth said, smiling and coming off the porch to give me a hug. I loved Seth so much, he was like the little brother I always wanted.
"Hey, how's the progress?" I asked for fear. Kelly had called me 5 times asking when I was coming.
"Kelly's been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off." Ryan came running down the stairs and giving me a hug. Seth and I laughed. From where I was, it didn't seem like there was much to do.
"When did you guys get here?"
"10:30, which isn't that bad." Seth said smiling then making his way to the backyard.
"Kelly had me here at 6." Ryan said rolling his eyes. If you really looked at him you could see dark circles under his eyes. I laughed.
"Can't say no to the woman you love eh?" I smirked at him and pushed him playfully.
"Hey, my woman is a monster when she's planning events." Just as he said that we heard Kelly yelling orders at someone.
"JOCELYN! RYAN! GET IN HERE. JOC, I HOPE YOU BROUGHT THE STREAMERS." Kelly's voice rang from the front door. Ryan and I looked at each other, smiled, than walked up the stairs and into the house.

By the time we finished setting up for Jade's party I'm pretty sure everyone was utterly exhausted. The party started at 7:30 and we didn't finish working until 6. When I got home I ran up the stairs immediately, completely ignoring my mother's husband. I still had no idea what I was going to wear and I had decided from earlier on that I was going to curl my hair. This preparation was going to make me late but I didn't care all too much. I wanted to look good. I needed to look good for Jacob.
FUCK.
What was wrong with me? Jacob was an enemy of my family for so long how could I ignore that? And how the fuck could someone look so perfect? It wasn't fair. On top of all that, I was engaged! I felt completely wretched but that didn't make my subconscious care, the dreams and the yearning never stopped.
When we were helping Kelly, Jacob had come late and ignored me the whole time. Every time I felt a stare I would turn and it would always be him there. Did he feel the heat between us too? UGH. It bothered me that I couldn't control anything when it came to Jacob. He somehow blocked my powers from getting a read on him. Of course up until this moment I had never touched him. But usually just by being in the same vicinity, I was able to feel people's intentions. Jacob Black was the only person that was completely silent.
"Jocelyn, are you ready for dinner?" My mom called from downstairs. I rolled my eyes, I had just left my room, completely naked with only a towel around me about to head into the shower. I had told her earlier that I was going to a party and did she listen? Apparently not. I snorted to myself. She never listened to me.
"I'm not eating. I have to get ready for the party, I'm already going to be late." I said and walked into the bathroom slamming the door. Why did she even bother pretending we were a family? At this point I was just a stranger who happened to share the room next to hers.
When I got out of the I quickly scampered off to my room and looked through my clothes, after a few shuffles of moving clothes from one side to the other in my closet I settled on wearing a black dress that went down to my thighs. It showed off my figure nicely and it was simple which allowed me to accessorize any way I wanted. It also left me free to do whatever I wanted with my makeup. I dried myself off then quickly put on the dress while turning on my wand. I sat in front of my make-up desk and did my typical face routine. For my eyes I did a sparkly silver and grey smokey eye with red lips. I then dried my hair with the towel until it was damp and curled it with my wand, when my hair was nice with soft curls I sprayed hairspray, grabbed my black booties and my leather jacket and walked down the stairs.
"You look nice." My mother's husband said. He was sitting at the island in the kitchen.
"Thank you." I said stoically. Although I didn't actually know him enough to dislike him, I disliked how he allowed my mother to ignore me. What kind of man found that even attractive? Not a good one in my opinion.
"When will you be back?" My mother said coming around the island. I glared at her. Like she cared! I could come back next week and she'd never notice.
"Late. Bye." I grabbed my keys off the stand by the door and left. Things would always be the same and I needed to stop getting so worked up over it. It would never change; she would always be the same useless mother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(J)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(J)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The party turned out amazing and I was incredibly surprised that Jade was genuinely shocked. It was a real wonder how she hadn't figured it out, especially since so many people had to keep the secret for a week and a half.
I was standing on a wall in Kelly's living room which was transformed into a nightclub for the party- with Jayla, Kim and Jade. We were all laughing at the boy's doing the single ladies dance by Beyonce perfectly. I don't know why or how they knew it so well but it was hilarious. By the time they finished Jade and Jayla were leaning on me tearing up. I could barely stand because I was laughing so hard. Hot ass guys that all looked guy Greek gods should not know how to roll their hips that well.
"I'm pretty sure my life has just been made." Jayla said wiping her tears. Kim and I were still laughing.
"I thought the party was the best thing ever, but no offence guys. That was." Jade said holding her stomach.
After the fiasco, we all went on to the dance floor and started dancing, it was fun just dancing with my girls, not that it lasted long. As soon as we started grinding on each other their boyfriends came almost in a second. I continued dancing because someone had slipped behind me to. When I turned around I saw a guy with the typical russet skin, long black hair and brown eyes. He was no Jacob but he was cute. Besides I didn't care I just wanted to dance.
"You really know how to move your hips." He said smiling. I smirked back. Of course I did, dancing was like my kryptonite.
"I know." I smiled at him and continued dancing.
"I'm Casek." He held out his hand, I took it politely and almost immediately removed it. This fucker was absolutely disgusting.
"I'm out of your league. So don't bother wasting your time." I said sneering at him. I stomped on his foot; hard and turned and walked away.
I went to the kitchen where there was drinks and decided to grab a grape soda from the large cooler. I was absolutely fuming. The instant feeling of perversion I felt from Casek had my blood boiling. I wanted to do much more than stomp on the little bastards feet I wanted to claw his eyes out. Jocelyn you have to calm down. I kept repeating to myself. I couldn't unleash my anger, it would only cause something bad to happen. Besides, I couldn't let anyone know what I truly was. I don't think anyone knew except for Kailey.
Once I was calm enough I went to put my cup down and turned around apparently to fast because I crashed into someone who was holding a cup that happened to have its contents spread all over me.
"What the fuck." I said fuming, I could feel my skin getting sticky.
"Next time it would help if you watched where you were going," said someone in a hard, deep voice. My heart started beating faster which was a strong indication I knew who this was without looking up.
"Maybe you should take your own advice." I said looking down and realizing there was pieces of broken glass around my feet. I bent down and started picking up the pieces, by a colossal accident so did he.
We grabbed the same piece and to my admittance had a corny moment. But I couldn't take it anymore. This was the perfect opportunity to look into his eyes again. I quickly looked up, not letting him escape this time and was met with mesmerizing gold eyes. I couldn't move. Everything around us stayed still and I didn't care. If I could spend forever figuring out how someone's eyes could be so beautiful I was genuinely happy it was Jacob's. As he stared back into my eyes I felt as though my heart was being ripped open, there was a flush of emotions making its way into my soul. It was odd, I've never had that feeling before. And then, there was like a strong force pushing us closer together. I could see it in Jacob's face he was trying as much as I was not to be pushed towards each other. We couldn't do it, the force was just too strong and suddenly; I was in his arms. His arms were super hot against mine, the heat almost burned. It felt like he was releasing my inner self. It was difficult to keep that part of myself under control. Being so close to Jacob made me feel so powerful, it was like he was a battery charger and he had charged my powers and now they just wanted to be used. What the fuck was happening?
Emotions played across Jacob's face like a television screen and the last one I caught before he started shaking was hurt. He was in pure agony. But why? Why did Jacob seem to have so much pain instilled in him. I didn't like it. It was like suddenly I could feel the hurt he was feeling and I was blown away.
As Jacob left me on the floor, storming out of Kelly's back door I wondered for the first time if my world had changed the moment I met Jacob Black.
And I wondered if It could ever be the same.
A/N: HEY GUYS! I made a promise to myself that I would finish this chapter Friday so here it is :)
SO JACOB HAS FINALLY IMPRINTED...UGH OH. ;)
