Hello

this one's short cause i had i really busy day, but i still wanted to write SOMETHING but im tired but i felt guilty cause i haven't updated at all today, and this is the first fic that ive been bothered to update at all really and i didn't want to break the pattern and im sorry if it doesn't make sense cause im nearly asleep at the key board

if there are mistakes and bits that dont make sense tell me please

also, Locketful o' Heartache pointed out that i forgot to put any disclaimers in, so i put it in the summery. thankyou :)

like i said, its short, to the point where its unrealistic so im sorry ill probably re-do this chapter, with the other bits I planned (what ive submitted is only a third of what i had intended).

also, i want to point out that though i dont like her at all, im going to try and avoid bella bashing, and im wondering if people could tell me how where they see her after jake swoops in and steals edward?


It was Embry who told me when Bella showed up at the border, asking for me. Apparently the bloodsucker had shown up with her, and Embry had tried to be polite and welcoming, while at the same time making it clear that Bella would have to come in by herself. It probably wasn't as polite as he thinks, but in his mind he did quite well so I decided to let him have his moment.

I tried to look like I hadn't been told. I leaned nonchalantly against a counter top in my kitchen. I wasn't really doing anything other than leaning and staring at the door so I decided to read… or something, so I turn my head to read the take-out menu stuck to the fridge with a souvenir magnet from LA. Hmm. I probably look really stupid right about now, so I let my pose drop and try to move to sit on the couch and maybe pretend to be napping.

"Jake?"

Shit. Lean, and read. Yum. Now I kinda feel like Pad Thai.

"Uh… Jacob?"

"Oh Bella this a total surprise." Smile like you mean it, Jake.

"Okay, why not. Edward read your mind, and-" OH FUCK.

"Look Bells…" I groan loudly, gripping my head. I suddenly feel really dizzy, so I drop to the couch. "It was a totally accidental!"

"I don't even know what happened! He just said you wanted to tell me something, and by your reaction you totally do. Spill."

I look up to see her standing with her hands on her hips and a cross pout. How cute! She really is pretty. She makes me smile.

'Oh it's not really anything."

"Sure?"

"Sure."

"I don't believe you."

I stand to be level with her. Maybe if I look dominating… no she'll totally think I'm defensive, so instead I shrink back and whisper "Nothing's wrong, Bells." Fuck. I should have stuck with aggressive and defensive.

"Jacob Black if you don't tell me right now what is wrong with you so help me God…"

Oh no.

Oh no.

She's using that tone of voice.

I really can't resist that tone of voice.

I put my hands in my pocket and squint my eyes in desperation. "No?"

"Jake!" She whines at me, pulling out the 'a'. "Just tell me!"

Oh no.

"Bella I imprinted."

"Jacob, tell me-" Her eyes widened. "O-oh!" Is that a happy oh?

"But I can't tell you who."

"Is it me?" Probably not a happy oh.

"No, why would you think that?"

"I don't know I just assumed…"

Wow. That's pretty shallow. "What?"

"I don't know…"

"No, for once, this is about me, not about you."

"Jake I'm sorry!"

Fuck this! I gave her a cross looking before leaving.

Whoops that was mean. 'Cept she was pretty mean.

Maybe I just need some air.
