Authors Note: I'm quite certain some Paul and Bella shippers will be coming after me with torches lit. Like an angry mob. But, I did warn everyone this wouldn't be a HEA. Also, I think I did hint to the fact, that it wouldn't end badly either.

Stephanie Meyers sure screwed up her world. If I remember correctly, the imprinter is suppose to be whatever his imprintee needs. Whether that be a friend, lover, protector. So, couldn't have Emily had told Sam to be with Leah? I mean come on, Stephanie

[ This first part of the story is from Bella's view. ]

Story time: I think this is the chapter where I will tie in the first two. So, please do whatever you must for a bumpy, wait wrong ride. For everything to be explained within this chapter.

Thanks HarryTwilightMaxFan for beta-ing and pre-reading this.

Bella Swan felt like an idiot. It was months her ex-boyfriend and his family left town, leaving for her own safety. She cried the first two weeks of that departure, then she was a zombie for a good month. After that, something inside her snapped.

She was pissed.Edward Cullen left her in the woods the day after her birthday, when that birthday went to hell. A Birthday she didn't even want to celebrate, but she did it for the sake of his sister. That was another nail in the coffin.

Alice.

Surely her friend would have seen this happening? But there was no interference from Alice. She was at school one day and gone the next.

Jacob Black became her personal sun after that. She spent every chance she could up at La Push, just to keep the holes in herself numb. Jacob became a breath of fresh air for her, hanging out with him in his garage and going to the movies.

She should have known that nothing good last forever. Well, her name was Bella Swan after all. So maybe the universe had it out for her. She's happy again take it away, and that is what Sam Uley did. He saved her but took her friend away from her.

Bella started driving down to La Push, the rain was pouring outside. As she pulled up to the Black house, there was Jacob walking in the rain with no shirt on.

Mono my ass.

"Jacob, you asshole. Why are you avoiding me?"

He gave no answer as I realized we had an audience. I looked behind me and saw Sam with three boys with him. A sneer crossed my face as I looked at Sam right in his eyes. He took Jake from me. That asshole.

A growl caught my attention as I broke eye contact with the head asshole, to see who was making that animal sound. The moment I made eye contact with the Sam clone, his expression changed as if he was seeing the sun for the first time.

"Damn it, Paul. You imprinted on Swan?"

I couldn't put a name to the boy who said that. But after that day, I could see from the corner of my eye the grey wolf following me. He wasn't even trying to remain hidden as he followed me from La Push to Forks.

The ride to La Push was silent as neither one knew what to say. Brown eyes watched as her friend gripped the steering wheel. She watched as he started to shake slightly, fearing he would phase right now inside the truck.

"Jake," She started, but was cut off.

"Don't say anything Bella." he answered her.

She wished that she could muster up the courage to be mean. But for some reason, it seems that part of her left the moment she agreed to come to La Push. She suppose she went through all the stages of a break-up.

Who could she be mad at now?

Jacob cut the engine off in the truck when they arrived at Sam and Emily's place. He was told to bring Bella here and now they just waited to see what Sam wanted. He wished that he was the one who imprinted on her, but that's all it could be now.

A wish gone unanswered.

Bella got out of the truck slamming the door. She was certain they knew she was here anyways. The front door opened and Sam came down the walk way. Brown eyes watched him wearily, as if she waiting for him to attack her. But no blow or snide remark came from his mouth as he came to stand in front of the two teens.

Sam looked at Jake and nodded at him, as if letting Jacob know he was dismissed and he could go do whatever. This was a matter that as Alpha, he was going to handle. He was already at his wits end dealing with the wolf.

"Bella, let's take a walk."

I had such a hard time writing this chapter. It just seems like it wants to go in another direction. When I wanted to go in another direction. But, don't worry. Bella and Paul (who's in wolf form), will interact next chapter. Promise...:)
