Okay guys, sorry for that last cliffhanger, really I am. I don't want to tell you all what happens, but it's not what mostly everyone thinks. I'll explain more at the bottom. Don't fret.

CHAPTER NINETEEN

JACOB POINT OF VIEW

I knew that the Cullens were coming today. I was looking forward to it. I haven't seen Anthony in a while, it was sad because we became such close friends over time. He and I kept in contact more then the rest of their family though. Bella and I also talked a lot, not as much as we used to, but enough to know what was going on in their life. We emailed each other often. Edward and I also talked occasionally.

I know that it was wrong of me to ask Courtney to marry me, really I understand that. But she just makes me so happy. And I love her with all of my heart, I know that I do. I know that I should have just let her go, live a happy life. But seriously, what were the chances of my finding my imprint? I could die without finding my imprint. So why couldn't I just be happy with Courtney?

She understood what I was, she understood imprinting but she still stood by me. She was amazing, she knew that one day I might meet my imprint, and that we might no longer be together. But I couldn't imagine my life without her.

When I first saw her, I knew that it wasn't an imprint, I could tell. Even if I hadn't imprinted, it was like looking at an angel. Her car had driven into a tree, she was fine but I took her to a hospital anyways. I stayed by her the entire time. We talked, I learned more and more about her, and I feel more in love with every single second.

I knew it was love, sure it wasn't an imprint, I was able to realize that over time. I tried to imprint on her, but I was unsuccessful. I knew it wasn't an imprint because when I looked in her eyes the first time I didn't feel anything. I saw that she was beautiful, yes, but that was before I looked at her eyes. Nothing changed after.

I explained to her what I was after she told me that she loved me. I knew then that it was only fair. She took it quite well. She saw me turn into a werewolf, I didn't want to morph but she really wanted to see me in every single form that I was. And she didn't run away screaming, she understood to some extent.

I asked her to marry her out of selfishness. I knew that if I did find my imprint, we would get a divorce. She wouldn't keep me from my true love. I actually believed that my imprint wasn't out there. I couldn't imagine being with anyone else besides Courtney. Maybe my imprint died or something, fate didn't want me to find my true match. Whatever, as long as I could stay with Courtney I would be more then fine.

I had to pick up a part for Courtney's car. That's why I wasn't there when the Cullens first arrived. I was already jumping in my seat. I wondered if Anthony would look any different, no he stopped growing.

I still remember Anthony as a child, he could be quite stubborn sometimes but we always did have a lot of fun. I let memories of us hanging out together flood through my mind. I'd always wanted a brother, I kind of got that with a pack. But Anthony was like another kind of brother, I helped raise him.

I remember one time we went to the mall together, he was determined to try to find my imprint. He would get random girls to look my way, trying to get them to look in my eyes. Of course it didn't work very well. We got a few phone numbers though. I couldn't help but laugh at the memory.

I pulled up to my house. My father was currently looking for another house. He said that we should live in his house once we get married. Courtney was already living with me but he wanted to give us some, er privacy.

I turned the car off and practically ran to the door when I saw Courtney come out to greet me. I assumed that everyone else was inside because there were a few familiar cars outside.

I couldn't help but pick Courtney up and kiss her on the lips, who cared who saw? She was my fiancé! It didn't matter who saw us kiss each other. I let go of her and looked around the room.

Bella was smiling at me as always. Edward was also smiling with his arm around Bella's shoulders. I smiled seeing that they were so happy with each other. Then I saw Anthony, he still looked the same. His smile was a little wider though, and his eyes seemed brighter.

I looked down and found his arm wrapped around someone's waist. I looked up to find the person's eyes. I found myself looking directly into a pair of warm brown eyes. I looked at the rest of the girl's face. She was pretty, nice reddish, brown hair and a nice smile. One that seemed caring and not fake.

I couldn't help but look at the bond that they shared, it looked tight. I wondered why nobody told me that he was with anyone? Anthony kept in touch with me all the time. Obviously she must have been important to him, he was keeping a death grip on her. Was I really drifting away from the family this much?

I saw Anthony pull the girl closer to him, he must have been able to see my staring. I guess I got caught up in feeling like I had lost Anthony. I turned back to the rest of the family, everyone was staring at me, the smiles leaving everyone's face.

Edward seemed a little confused as to why everyone had such a long face. Bella looked like she was about to burst into tears if she could. Edward was trying to comfort her, but seemed to be failing.

I looked back at Courtney who seemed to have an understanding of the whole situation. She also looked like she was about to start crying. "Courtney, what's wrong? What happened?"

She smiled sadly at me then stepped away, "Y-you imprinted didn't you?"

I looked at her, "What are you talking about? When did I imprint?"

I didn't imprint…didn't we already talk about this? I saw a tear fall from her eye and I reached to wipe it away, but she flinched back, "Just now. You seemed to look at her differently then the rest."

I looked back at the girl who was in Anthony's grip. She was now in Anthony's lap with her face buried in Anthony's chest. She seemed to want to let go but Anthony had a tight grip on her. Anthony took turns between whispering random words to the girl and giving me death glares.

I looked back at the girl, had I looked into her eyes? Yeah, I did, they were brown. But I didn't feel anything, not really. She was pretty and everything, but I didn't see anything extraordinary. I looked back at Courtney, she was letting tears slowly fall out of her eyes. My heart broke at the sight.

I walked over to her and wrapped my long arms around her shoulders. "I didn't imprint. Why does everyone think that I imprinted?"

Then Anthony said, "You were staring at her for five minutes." I turned around his voice was cold and his green eyes were dark. I knew that he probably wanted to kill me right now.

"I was?"

I turned back to Courtney and she nodded her head, "Yeah, you were."

Well yeah, I was looking at her for a while, I've never seen her before! How else was I supposed to think of a random girl sitting in my house with Anthony's arm around her?

"I guess I didn't realize…I've just never seen her before, I guess I didn't realize. Sorry guys. But I uh, didn't imprint…"

I immediately felt the tension in the room release. Courtney stopped crying and I kissed her gently on the lips, "I didn't imprint, it's okay."

She laughed and then wrapped her arms around my waist, "I guess I'm sorry for overreacting."

I looked over to Bella, she also seemed to be laughing at the situation. Really, I look at a girl for more then two seconds and I imprinted. I looked back over to Anthony, thinking that he would also be laughing at the situation but he was still glaring at me, he didn't loosen his grip on the girl either.

"Anthony, look I…"

Then he got up while carrying the girl in his arms, "We're going for a walk."

He walked out of the house and then shut the door behind him. I looked at Edward, trying to find answers.

He shrugged his shoulders, "He's new at all of this. He'll be back in no time. But right now let's start the discussion…"

I nodded my head but I was still worried that I had ruined my friendship with Anthony.

ANTHONY'S POINT OF VIEW

"Anthony, where are you taking us?"

I walked faster to the woods. Finally I found a small boulder for us to sit on. I sat down with Abigail sitting in my lap. I didn't meet her eyes yet, I was too frustrated.

I know that he didn't imprint. I understand that. At first I thought that he had, I wasn't going to let that happen though. I tried to pull Abigail's eyes away from his, to stop the imprint, but I knew it would be no use.

My dad won my mom and I would have Abigail. And then he said that he didn't imprint, sure I was relieved. But he was staring at my girl for FIVE MINUTES. Five minutes, I mean seriously? Even if he didn't imprint, that was still just a little too long for my liking.

"Anthony? Are you going to explain exactly what imprinting is or am I going to have to try to figure it out on my own?"

I finally looked at her beautiful brown eyes, they were confused but just as lovely as ever. I let out a big sigh, "Imprinting is something that werewolves do. Since Jacob is a werewolf, you know that already, but when they imprint it's when they meet their soul mate's eyes for the first time."

"Oh, so that's why everyone was freaking out. He didn't imprint upon Courtney I'm guessing?"

I shook my head, "No he didn't. But he loves her, he thought it would be okay. Everyone just worried because of how long he was looking at you."

Abigail put her warm hand on my cheek, she smiled, "But it's okay because he didn't imprint. So you shouldn't be upset over anything, right?"

I looked up at her, "Abigail, he was looking at you for five minutes."

She shrugged her shoulders, "So what?"

I growled in frustration. Five minutes, too long. Nobody should look at my Abigail for more then a few seconds besides me. I felt Abigail laugh on my lap, "Are you jealous?"

I froze, was I jealous? I mean Abigail and I have been together for a while, but no other guy has really been around her. Except my family, but it's not like they considered her anything besides my Abigail. We haven't really gone out so I don't see how anyone else could be looking at her. Wow, I was jealous…of Jacob.

I felt Abigail laughing, I hadn't even realized that she moved my hand to her cheek. "Ugh, you really have to stop doing that."

She shook her head, "I like hearing your thoughts. But you have nothing to be jealous of, Jacob is your close friend."

"He was staring at you for FIVE minutes!"

"He probably just got lost in his thoughts. It happens all the time. You are making too big a deal of this!"

I sighed, "How am I making a big deal of this? I don't like it when other people, guys, look at you."

She rolled her eyes, "Well you're going to have to learn to deal with it."

I let out a sigh, she was probably right, I mean I shouldn't blame Jacob for this, I guess it wasn't really his fault, "I guess you're right. I should apologize."

She nodded her head and then started messaging my shoulders, mmm, it felt so good. "Are you okay now? Can we go back?"

I wrapped my arms tightly around her and kissed her lips, "No, let's just stay right here."

She laughed and then stood up, I frowned, "Where are you going?"

"We are going back so that you can apologize to everyone and so that we can figure out what's going on."

I got up after her and sighed, she was right. We really did need to start heading back. We started walking back to the house. Once inside I found everyone laughing. Great, my anger made everyone so much happier, joy.

Abigail pulled me forward, "Hey guys, sorry about that. We just needed some air."

"It's okay. We were just talking about how your relationship is mostly physical now anyways." Emmett managed to say this in between his fits of laughter.

I felt my cheeks redden and Abigail looked down to the floor, blushing slightly as well. And Abigail never blushed, it looked good on her though…

My mom said, "Emmett! Come on, don't embarrass them."

Abigail started moving closer to my side. I wrapped my arms around her shoulders and then sat down with her sitting next to me. I whispered in her ear, "Don't worry about it."

She nodded her head but kept looking down at her twirling hands. I heard everyone whisper something and then Emmett said, "Sorry guys, I just couldn't resist."

I looked up at him and back at Abigail. She looked forgiving enough, so I said, "It's okay, but I would rather us not talk about it if you don't mind."

I felt Abigail nudge my ribcage, oh right I'm supposed to be apologizing. "Sorry for leaving like that. I just overreacted I guess. I didn't mean to. Sorry Jacob, it's great to see you again."

He nodded his head, "It's okay. Sorry for um looking at Abigail longer then I should have."

I nodded my head, "So what's happening with the Volturi?"

Sorry if you all were disappointed in this chapter. LET ME EXPLAIN IT. Okay, so well Anthony and Abigail's relationship is not normal, we all know that correct? Okay then. So, Anthony really never dealt with jealousy. I just really wanted to know that with Jacob looking at Courtney too long. I feel like their relationship hasn't really developed properly, so the next few chapters will be more about their relationship.

I know that people be upset because I led them to think that Jacob imprinted, I thought about it, but I didn't have the heart to have him imprint. In the novel almost everyone met their imprint, well most of them at least, but it was said that it wasn't always so likely, in this story I just wanted to show that Jacob didn't have to imprint to have a happy life. The next chapter might explain it better, haha.

Thank you all for the reviews! I really do love them. They make me smile :D. You readers are so awesome! Thanks for all of the story alerts and favorites and all. I might be writing a one-shot angst soon, so if you want to, look out for it!

Wow, don't know why I'm writing a long authors note, I know that nobody will read it! But that's okay.

I really just hope that you all aren't totally upset at me.
