REWRITTEN.
Before Bella had the chance to even protest, she found herself kissing Jake back. It wasn't like she wasn't enjoying it, she was. It wasn't that she didn't want to not kiss him, she just didn't understand why she gave in so easily. Even though she was still super pissed off at Edward, she didn't want to seem easy. They had only broken up earlier that day. She wasn't the girl that had guys falling all over her but now, she was. When she moved to Forks, everything changed. Edward had fallen at her feet, after a couple weeks of resistance. And, even though Bella found it odd, she gave into him and soon fell at his feet also.
From time to time Bella had thought about how unhealthy her and Edward's relationship was. Those were the times that she was most thankful that Edward couldn't read her mind. It almost seemed like Edward was obsessed with her. And he was way to over-protective whenever they went outside of the house. She just didn't like it. She didn't like being treated like some porcelain doll. Even though she loved Edward and wanted him to care, there was a point where he cared just a bit too much. She of course, never said anything though in fear that Edward would leave her. Even with the constant reminders of "I'll never leave you. Ever."
Bella had truly believed him. She believed him with everything in her. When Edward had left her she didn't have to think twice in taking him back. It just…happened. It seemed as if her life would be over if she didn't take him back. She couldn't help it. She needed to be with Edward.
Now Bella was thinking totally different. Now she was standing in Jake's driveway, kissing him. Her life had done a complete 180 and had turned all the way around. Just 3 hours ago she was engaged to a vampire and now she's kissing a werewolf. How much more complicated could her life get? But, it felt right.Her being there with Jake, kissing him, just being in his arms felt right. It felt to her like this was where she belonged all along.
Bella turned her attention back to the kiss and knew she had to stop it. Reluctantly, she pulled away and stepped back a little from Jake's embrace. She could see the hurt flicker through Jake's eyes.
"J-Jake. I can't do th-this. Not yet. I need you to give me time, please." Bella asked, her voice just above a whisper.
The choice of her words brought memories back to Jake's mind. His mind began reeling with memories from when Sam had assured him that Bella would be his. Even though he did imprint, he couldn't help but doubt it. Bella had chosen the bloodsucker over him when he had pieced her back together. Jake couldn't help but wonder if the imprint really didn't work. He thought that maybe one of those bloodsucker's with the super freaky powers had found out about the imprint and worked their "magic" to get rid of it in Bella's mind and heart.
Jake shook his head a bit to get rid of those thoughts. He knew that he sounded like a crazy person. But, he couldn't seem to stop thinking it.
"Jake, I need to go. I need to go clear my head. Please, wait for me. I won't let you down again." Bella said, looking up into Jake's eyes.
Jake could practically see the pure honesty in Bella's eyes and that's when he knew that the imprint had held. He smiled a bit and pulled her into another hug, placing a light kiss in her hair. "I'll be here." He whispered into her hear and let her go.
They both went their separate ways, both feeling the pull at their hearts. While Bella was thinking, hard, about why her heart was pulling. Jake on the other hand was thinking about why the imprint hadn't worked. He was tearing himself up about it and it truthfully wasn't healthy. He heard a howl come from outside and he ran out, phasing on the way.
"What's going on?" Jake wondered aloud in his thoughts. He had half expected every member of the pack's thoughts to be over-ecstatic about a vampire on the reserve. The only person he recognized was Sam. Why hadn't he recognized Sam's call? He usually did.
"Because you've been thinking non-stop about Bella and the imprint." Sam's voice rung out in Jacob's head. His words practically burning themselves into his mind, his memory. "Jake, I told you to give it time. She has to give her full heart up to you. Just let it happen. It will all fall into place soon enough." He finished, smiling a little at Jake and with that, he was gone.
Now Jake was left all alone in his thoughts and to tell you the truth, he hated it. He hated having internal battles with himself. He sighed and ran down towards the beach for a run to clear his mind.
Bella pulled her truck into the driveway and just sat there for a good half hour. She got so caught up in her thought that she didn't even realize Charlie was tapping on her window.
"Bella? BELLA!" Charlie yelled, impatient as he pounded on the window again. "Are you going to come inside or just sleep in your car?" He asked, clearly annoyed.
Bella looked up at him with tear filled eyes. The minute Charlie looked down at her face, he immediately softened his tone and opened the door.
"Bella, what's wrong? What happened?" He asked, his voice getting louder with concern as he spoke.
"Edward left me again. The weddings off." She said so non-chalantly that Charlie took a little, yet dramatic step backwards. She giggled a little bit before she kept going. "It's fine, Dad. I have Jake and this time, I won't screw it up with him" As she spoke it sounded like she was telling herself that that was what she was going to do.
Charlie put his arm, awkwardly around Bella's shoulders and eased her out of the car. "Let's just get you inside." He said, walking with her towards the house. The way she was acting through this situation was kind of freaking him out. He wanted to make sure that she was really okay and not lying to him. He wasn't sure that he could handle another almost-comatose Bella. He watched her as she walked up the stairs towards her room. "I'll see you in the morning, Bella."
He watched as she shut her bedroom door and he waited a few minutes until he heard the creak of her bed. He sighed in relief and plopped himself down onto the couch.
"There is definitely something up with that girl." He said to himself, sighing.
