I jumped up with the blood rising to my cheeks. How embarrassing! I walked alongside Jake and we both caught up to the rest of the guys. "What are we eating at Emily's?"

"Chicken stuff." Paul replied.

"Is it any good?"

The guys looked at me like I had four heads or something. "Anything Emily cooks is good." Embry said, putting me out of my confusion. I just nodded. I didn't know she was that good of a cook. By now, we were finally home. Home. It sounded so natural to say that about this place, and I have only been here a day. We walked into the house and went in the kitchen. It smelled yummy.

"Stop!" Emily said, "Girls go first. You guys are pigs." I laughed at her then, but now, after we have eaten, I know how true that was. They practically devoured it in like five bites. Everyone left except Jake after dinner.

"Hey," I said talking to Jake, "Do you wanna go to my room?"

He smiled. "Sure."

Sam walked in at that moment and got the wrong idea. "What! He may NOT go to your room!"

I looked at him. "Sammy, not like that, chill. I'm just bored."

He looked down. "Oh," he mumbled.

I rolled my eyes and walked upstairs dragging Jake with me. We got in there and I laid down on the bed. Jake followed me and laid beside me. I was comfortable. "Hey Jake?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you tell me about Bella?"

He took a deep breath. "Yeah. Sure. You should know, I guess. But let me get something straight before you hear my story. I don't love her anymore, alright? Don't listen to Paul or Quil or anyone. I like someone else now."

I nodded taking that in. He didn't say like. He said love. He really liked this chick. And she threw him away. She might be stupid. "Okay. But can I know who you like now?"

He just sat there. "If you tell me about Bryce."

I swallowed hard. "There's nothing to say."

"Yes there is. I can tell."

"Fine. I'll tell you. But you can't tell anyone."

He nodded. "Okay. On with Bella. She used to come here every summer. I don't really remember much of that. We were young. But then she moved here last year. I don't know why, but I liked her the moment I saw her. She was down to earth, pretty; just cool. But she started dating this guy. Edward Cullen." He said that name with such disgust. I thought it was jealousy, but he said he didn't like her. "Anyway, I didn't like him, still don't. I tried to win her over. She wouldn't budge. Then he left. Just left her here alone. I pretty much brought her back to life. Made her smile. I fell in love with her. I thought she was mine. But then he came back and she left me. Just like that."

I felt bad for him. That would be really bad. I don't think I would get over it fast. "Now, don't think I took it well. I didn't. I ran away, left. I couldn't take it." my eyebrows bunched together. He liked her that much? "Now, tell me about Bryce."

"Well, he abused me." He took a sharp inhale. His fist clenched together and he started to shake. "Jake, calm down." Why was he like this? "Anyway, one day he hit me. And I hit back. It was the first time I actually hit him back. And he hit me back. Harder. He had his class ring on. I have a scar see?" I showed him the scar on my face. He didn't like it. I personally thought it looked cool. "And that's all I feel like telling you. Now, anyway." He nodded. "Can I meet Bella and Edward one day?"

He stiffened. "Yeah. Tomorrow. We are all going down there. We have stuff to talk about. You can come if you want."

I nodded. "Now, who do you like?"

"You," he said simply and kissed me. It was short, sweet, and innocent, but it was the best kiss of my life. I didn't want to let him go, but I had to. "Wow." was all I managed to say. He chuckled.

He got close to my ear. "Meet me at the beach at ten tonight." And with that, he left. I wondered many things. What were we now? Why did he need to talk to me? How was I going to sneak out? As if he could read my mind, Sam came up.

"You don't have to sneak out. I'm letting you go." I smiled at him. It was nine right now so I decided to just lay there. I was tired anyway.

I guess I dozed off. I woke up at 10:12. "CRAP!" I shouted as I ran out of bed. I ran out the door without a word. I heard Emily laughing at me. I ran all the way there. I saw Jake sitting down on the sand. "I'm so sorry Jake! I fell asleep, and-" I got cut off by him pulling me down and kissing me hard. I didn't object.

"Sorry. I had to get you to shut up." I glared at him. "Now, I need to talk to you." I nodded, telling him I was listening. "Okay, so you know the legends of our tribe?" I nodded again. They told me at dinner. "Well, what would you say if it were true that we turned into wolves?"

"Show me."

He looked startled. I guess he wanted me to run away or something. I didn't. He got up and took my hand. It was warm. He let go and went behind a bush. "What are you doing?"

"When I change, my clothes rip."

Wait, he was serious? He thinks he's a wolf? Then I heard a ripping noise. And out popped a wolf in place of Jake. "Jake?" The wolf nodded. My mouth dropped open. "Well, change back! I need to talk to you." The wolf, I mean Jake, laughed at went behind the bush, and came back as my Jake. I did not just say my Jake.

"Told you they were true. Okay, so do you remember the imprinting?"

I nodded. "It would be cool if it were real. A guy that liked you for you."

"What if I told you that you were my imprint?"

"Prove it." That was all he needed. He took my face in his hands, and kiss me. It wasn't as innocent as the other two, but I wasn't complaining. His tongue slid in my mouth and wrestled for dominance. He won obviously. He pulled away. I pouted. He chuckled. "I believe you." I mumbled.

"Good." And with that, he took me home.

A/N: Review! I understand it moves a little fast in this chapter. Sorry!
