AN: Didn't feel like having Leah be such a bitch.

The two girls sat on the back porch in silence. The one tall with copper skin, brown eyes, and short black hair. The second almost a good six inches shorter then the first, pale albino skin, and long brown hair. The tall one gave a small glance at the shorter one and sighed softly. "Bella, I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault." Bella replied. "It's just one of those things that happens right? I'll get over it."

"No you won't." Leah said softly causing Bella to look up. "You'll say you're over it. You'll hide your feelings and everything. But every time you see the two of them together and how happy they look. It's going to hurt like hell. You two may not have been dating or anything like Sam and I was Bella, but even I can tell Jacob was wearing you down and you were having feelings for him. The entire pack will be torn by this, either happiness for Jacob or at a loss of you."

Bella knew what she meant. She had no reason to hang out with the pack anymore, now Jessica had taken her place. "I'm sure Paul will miss making 'leech-lover' jokes about me."

Leah chuckled softly, "From what you told me about this Jessica, Paul will be begging to have you hang around just so he doesn't end up killing her."

Bella laughed as she pulled her knees up to her chest. "Yea that's true."

Suddenly Leah got to her feet and looked out into the woods. Bella slowly stood up unsure what it was. She prayed the Cullen's weren't back. She couldn't handle that right now. She watched the woods as she saw two wolves appear. One was a deep chocolate and the other was gray with black spots. "What do the two of you want?" Leah asked aggravated. "If he sent you here to apologize on his behalf then leave." The two wolves glanced at each other and made their way back into the woods. Leah looked at Bella. "I'm..."

"Leah." A voice said as they turned and saw Quil and Embry walk out from behind the trees. Both only having one a pair of cut off shorts. "Sam sent us cause you were supposed to relieve patrol over an hour ago for Jared."

"Well you can tell Sam I had a bit more important things to deal with, in case you didn't hear."

"We heard." Embry said looking at the ground. "Bells, we're...."

"If your going to say your sorry stop right there. I don't want anyones pity." Bella said, "It's bad enough to trust Jake after Ed.. Edward left and now this happens."

"There's a bon fire tonight. Maybe the two of you can talk. She doesn't have to accept the imprint." Quil stated.

"But then Jake's heart will be broken right? She could go on and love whomever she wants, but Jake can't." Bella said looking up at the gray skies.

"That's true, but she will never feel the full effect of loving someone since he did imprint on her." Leah told her. "You could go tonight if you want."

Bella shook her head. "I can't. The elders strictly stated only pack members and their imprintees and family may go. I'm neither."

Embry looked up, "Sam can..."

Quil glanced at his best friend to see why he stopped talking. His mouth formed a small smirk as he glanced at Bella and Leah. Leah's eyes widened as she turned her head to Bella. "Well this just gets more and more interesting."

"Huh?" Bella asked confused as she blinked her eyes and turned her gaze from Embry.

"And here I thought imprinting was a love at first sight sort of deal." Quil chuckled and ducked as Embry went to hit him.

"Always thought Embry was a little slow." Leah said ignoring the glare she was sent by the two younger wolves as she looked at Bella. "Guess your going now."

Bella thought for a second. Slowly letting it go through her mind what had happened within their less then five minute conversation. Embry imprinted. But the only two there were her and Leah. Remembering Leah's words her brown eyes widened and looked at Embry. "You imprinted

on me?"

*************

Paul groaned as his head hit the kitchen table. Emily stirred the soup in the pot as she sent him a sentimental glance and looked over at Sam. The girl had been talking non-stop since Jake had brought her over. "So Jessica you go to school with Bella?" Emily asked as she set the stove on simmer.

"Yea, we're like best friends." Jessica nodded as she avoided looking at Emily.

Sam stiffened at this. He sent a small glare at the girls imprint. Jake froze. He didn't know this would happen. He had mentioned to Jessica not to stare at Emily, but she was full out avoiding looking at her, because of the scars. And now his alpha was pissed at him.

"Best friends? Yea right." Paul mumbled under his breath.

Jared stifled a laugh from hearing the comment they knew both girls in the room couldn't hear with their human hearing. He let out a laugh as Paul got hit with a dish towel. "Emily." Paul whined.

"Be nice." She said with a twinkle in her eyes.

A cell phone went off as they looked at Sam who grabbed it from the counter. "Hello?" They watched the expressions on his face change serious to remorse to shock. "Okay bring her over. Everyone else is here too.... Yea she's here too... No Kim's not here but I'm sure Jared could contact her.. Okay bye Leah."

"Sam?" Emily asked cautiously.

"Jared see if you can get Kim over here. Leah, Quil, and Embry are comng with Bella."
