6) Misunderstanding

I was just getting to the good part of my dream, walking barefoot on the beautiful beach of La Push, when I was rudely awaken by the most high pitched beeping known to man. "Brooklyn why did you set the alarm? School doesn't start for a week and I am not getting up any earlier than I have too!"

"Uggh, leave me alone I didn't set the alarm, now go back to sleep!" Just as I was about to argue with her, the annoying noise stopped, only to start up again 2 minutes later. "Oh crap, sorry Ashlynn it's my phone, who the hell is calling me at 9AM?"

"Hello? Oh hey Jake, Whats up? Yeah I know I forgot to call last night I fell asleep early. Wait slow down, what happened? I don't know what you are talking about, I wasn't at Patty's last night. Yes, Jacob I am positive, well I don't know who he thought he saw but it wasn't me. Yeah, yeah give me like 30 minutes to get dressed and I will be right over. I love you too baby. Bye!" As she hang up the phone a thought occurred to me.

" Hey Brook, I was at Patty's last night, Aunt Yvonne sent me to get some milk since you fell asleep so early and she didn't want to wake you up."

"Oh ok, now it is all making sense."

"Huh? What makes sense? I am confused."

"Oh nothing, one of Jacob's friends saw you at the store yesterday and thought it was me."

"So that's who that guy was"

"Huh?"

"There was a guy there, really tall, gorgeous mocha brown eyes and short almost black hair. Well anyways when he saw me he just kept staring at me, like he wanted to say something but was afraid to at the same time. Normally this would freak me out but I figured that he must have just thought I was you, I was about to say something then he just kinda ran out of the store. I figured he was just some old boyfriend of yours or something."

Brooklynn eyes light up with a sparkle I have never seen before and a huge smile spreads across her face, " Nope def. not an old boyfriend, that was Embry Jacob's best friend. Well he was until last night anyways, but that doesn't matter cause they were make up once they realize what is going on."

"Wait, what IS going on? I don't even know, so before we go anywhere you better explain it to me." I say with a smile on my face as I stick my tounge out at her.

"OK,Ok you get dressed, I'll talk." I finally decided to crawl of the top bunk and walk over to the closet. "So, anyways apparently Embry was at the store last night at the same time as you, only he thought it was me there. Well to make a long story short, he kinda took one look at you and started crushing on you bad, he knew he just had to meet you but when he was about to say hello he realized who he was looking at, or who he thought it was anyways. Oh, don't give me that look, you can't tell me you've never saw someone and instantly knew that you had to get to know them."

"What? No, that's not it, I actually find that part kinda flattering, especially considering how good looking he is. The thing I don't understand is why, if you think you have feelings for your best friend's girl, would you admit that to him or anyone else for that matter."

Brook just sat there for a min looking like she was torn on what to say, I didn't think the question was that hard. "Oh, well, umm they have been friends sense they were 2 so they really can't keep secrets. No matter how hard they try, the other always knows something is up. Plus Embry is too nice a guy to lie to anyone. Ok now are you almost ready, I want to get over there before they try to kill each other again."

"Don't look at me I have been dressed for the past 10 mins you are the one that is still lying in bed." With that she jumped out of bed, walked over to the closet, threw on the first things she grab and ran into the kitchen.

"Morning Auntie, if you don't mind me and Ashlynn are going to go over to Emily and Sam's for breakfast."

"Sure that sounds great girls, I kind of figured you would anyways, just make sure to call and let me know if I should expect you home for dinner. Have fun! I love you two."

"We Love you too!" We say in unison as we walk out the door. We're barely able to make it out of the drive way before Brook launches into her plan for how we are going to enter Sam and Emily's house.

"OK so I think I should go in first while you wait on the porch, but you have to be really quite cause the silly boys on this reservation have crazy sensitive hearing. When I am done trying to smooth the situation over between Jacob and Embry, while of course confusing them to the point of no return, I will come out and get you. Nothing too crazy, they have enough stuff going on right now so I don't want to get them more uptight with any tricks or jokes. Sound good?"

"You are too funny sis, yeah that is fine, I have to call Joe and Molly anyways to let them know I got here ok. I am sure they are going to want to know how everything is, so it should keep me busy for a good 15 minutes or so." With that Brooklyn puts on the most devious smile and heads up Sam's driveway and into the house. I decided to sit on a tree stump next to the porch, open up my cell, and call my dad's best friend back in Miami.

BPOV

I leave Ashlynn outside and as soon as I enter the house I feel two warm arms engulf me. "Hi Jake! I've missed you," I sorry how manage to twist myself around to face him and put a soft kiss on his lips.

"Finally Brook! You don't know how crazy I am going here. Just tell me you feel nothing for him, tell me you still love me." He says this with such worry and nervousness in his eyes that I can't help but laugh at how cute he looks, Apparently however, that is not the response he was waiting for and his whole body starts shaking with anger.

"Calm down Jacob before you do or say something we both know you will regret. I am not laughing at you, of course I love you, I always have. As for Embry, he is nothing more than my best friend, along with yours, even though you may not feel like that now but you will, sooner than you think. The reason I am laughing is because of how out of hand this whole thing has got."

Finally he was able to stop shaking enough to start speaking again, "Why are you acting like this is no big deal? Doesn't it bother you that Embry has imprinted on you?" As he says this my thoughts automatically go to Ashlynn standing outside, hoping she is still on the phone and not paying attention.

"Come on Jake lets go talk to the rest of the pa, er, gang. It looks like I have more explaining to do then I thought." Jacob just takes my hand and follows me into the kitchen dumbfounded.

Immediately I could feel the tension of 9 werewolves anxiously awaiting my arrival. I was just about to break the very uncomfortable silence when Sam spoke. "Brooklynn I am sure you have already been informed of our situation. I asked Jacob to bring you here this morning in hopes that maybe you could help us understand how this is happening."

"Sure Sam, but before I explain what I think happened, I would like to ask Embry a question." The whole pack just kept looking between me and Sam, stunned. Finally Sam was able to regain his serene mask and nod his head.

"Ok so tell me something Embry, when you look at me now what do you feel? Do you still see me as your imprint?" I say the last word as a whisper so Ash won't hear me.

"Sam, she is right, it makes no sense I am looking at her right now and I feel nothing of what I felt last night. There is no pull to her for me, I don't feel any irrational desire to protect her. Maybe I didn't Imprint."

Before I could respond Sam started talking again, "Embry that is impossible. We have all see it in your thoughts, there is no denying it when it happens." He trys to keep his straight face but the puzzled look manages to slip by.

I couldn't help but laugh, "Relax you guys! I never said Embry didn't imprint, actually I believe he did. It just wasn't on who you all think it was."

"Ok Brook I give up, what are you trying to get at? Are you trying to say that he saw someone that looked so much like you, that we all thought it was you, but it wasn't?" Jacob cut in before I could even finish my thought.

"Yeah Jake that is exactly what I was trying to say!"

"Don't be an idiot B," I hate when Paul calls me that. "Do you really expect us to believe you have a twin or something? Come on, you know us better than that.

"Ugh," I shouted, don't they ever stop talking and just listen. "Obviously you guys aren't going to let me explain so I guess I will just have to show you." With that I turned around and stomped out of the house.

Ashlynn was just hanging up her cell when I got outside, good thing, she missed the whole conversation. I really didn't feel like having to explain that today too. "You ready, it's SHOWTIME!"

"Do they have any idea what they are about to see?"

"Nope, I have officially confused the hell outta them!" We both started laughing so hard it took us a minute to remember what we were doing. I grab Ashlynn's hand and drag her into the house, within seconds we were in the kitchen. If you ever wanted to know how to keep a room full of werewolves speechless, this is it.
