So here is a little info on this and any following chapter:

Italic Bold = Thought's that are being read by Crimson in his POV when not in Crimson's POV I will just tell you Crim heard them and they will appear as regular thoughts in italics.

Italic = Thought's or whispers.

Bold = View Point shifts.

Crimson's Point Of View:

It had been hard getting over the abandonment. I had known they weren't going to like it, but I didn't know they were going to disown me. Luckily I have Sam. He has helped me through this rough time. I've been going back to school with the excuse, even though it's partially true, that I am no longer a part of my old family and I have been settling in with my new one. I had found, much to my dismay, that Bella was not speaking to everyone. She had literally cut all her ties with all her friends. The only people she hangs out with now are the Cullen's. I swear I can't stand them anymore. Funny thing is none of them, not even Bella, have been showing up lately.

I was currently walking to lunch. Apparently ever since I went missing I had gathered quite the reputation. With my enhanced hearing I quickly heard the first of the rumors.

'I heard he got kicked out for being gay.' one said.

'Well I heard he finally got fed up with his parents, killed them, and hid the bodies.' I heard another say. I had to not laugh at that one.

I tried my best to ignore them, but one really got to me.

'He apparently left his parents because he fell in love with some guy and his parents are like homophobic or something and they threatened to kill him.' That one was so close it was like they were actually there.

I didn't want to listen anymore so I walked as fast as I could without drawing any attention and made it to the cafeteria. Luckily Sam was already there with the rest of the guys. I don't know how they all get down here so fast. I quickly walked over to him. He looked up obviously seeing the stress in my eyes.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I couldn't help but listen to the rumors Sam. I just couldn't help it." I said keeping my head low.

"What do you mean?"

"I overheard one guy talking to his friends and it was almost as if he knew. As if he was there when it happened."

"So he basically got lucky."

"No Sam. You don't just get "lucky" like that. It scares me, but I remember now the day my hunger kicked in. While I was in the shower I got this overwhelming feeling of someone watching me."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Sam half-screamed.

"Well for one I was kinda dying of thirst. Two I simply forgot."

"Speaking of thirst, when are you going to start hunting?"

"As soon as possible most likely. I just don't really know how to go about it. Eh, I guess you live and you learn."

That's when I smelled them. The Cullen's. Everyone in the pack froze. The smell was unmistakable. Even to me. They came in two at a time. The blonde came in with the pixie. The taller male blonde who looked like hell came in with the huge muscular guy. Then Edward came in and trailing right behind him was a brand new Bella. Even from here I could tell she was a vampire now. Mother told me newborns were dangerous. Since Bella was here now it made me believe that she was more in control than some newborn. I looked directly at her and she looked at me. Her eyes widened as she noticed something. She whispered quickly to Edward who confirmed what ever she had asked by nodding.

'I can't stand that hybrid traitor. To believe she had been friends with him.' I heard someone say as clear as day.

"Did any of you guys hear that?" I asked looking at the guys at the table. They all shook their heads.

I looked back over there and looked at Edward again.

'Bella's so beautiful. I hope she likes her new life.' I heard someone say again.

It was then something dawned on me. I looked over to the pixie.

'Oh... why did she wear that? Couldn't she have worn something that isn't jeans and a t-shirt?'

I couldn't believe it! I could read minds, but apparently only around those can read minds as well.

I looked at Edward again. He looked at me.

'What? Why can't I read his mind? Another reason to hate filthy hybrids.'

I am immune to it as well? This is too cool! It's like a movie! I turned back to my table smiling mischievously. They all looked at me funnily. I decided to tell them by giving them an answer to their thoughts.

I looked at Jake who surprisingly couldn't stop thinking about Embry. Apparently the two were a thing. Ignoring that I looked over to Seth.

'I wonder if Paul is thinking about me?'

I looked at Paul.

'Damn. Seth's so hot wearing one of my shirts.'

I decided not to comment on that.

I looked at Embry and all he was thinking about was last night with Jake. I looked away before any images could pop into my mind. That left Sam.

Looking over at him I could see he was wondering what I was doing.

'Is he okay? Why is he looking at everybody like that? Why is he looking at me like that? Is he thinking about me?'

"Well to answer you Sam, I was thinking about you." I said nonchalantly.

"What?" He said looking down at me.

"Crim have you lost your mind?" Paul asked.

"No Paul and I think it's lovely you like seeing Seth in your shirts." I grinned making him go wide-eyed.

"Really Paul?" Seth said blushing slightly.

"Jake, do you ever think of anything else than Embry?" I asked.

He looked at me like he could kill me.

"Look, before you all decide to kill me, I have a theory. I think because I am full-grown now I am getting my 'gift'. You know how certain vampires have gifts? Well both my parents had some and apparently mine is I can read minds while near anyone or anything that reads minds. Or in the case of you guys, talks telepathically. I can also block people out. Edward tried to read my mind but only I could read his mind." I said felling tension from his direction.

"That's amazing!" Jake said.

"Also, don't know if you guys even look in their direction but Bella is lost to me. She is gone to me." I said.

"What do you mean?" Sam asked looking at her for a second.

Even without looking I could feel her eyes on me. However I could not read her mind. That must be her ability. She can block people out like a permanent mental shield.

"What I mean is she chose them over me, but it's fine. Because I choose you guys over her anyway."

"Are you sure Crim?"

"Yeah Sam. They mean nothing to me. I am no longer dealing with damn vampires. I will stick to shifters thank you very much."

I could see the joy in his eyes. I could also feel the hatred from that direction. I knew Bella could hear me that's why I was doing that. I was in a sense telling her, and I get that she knew it. I think Sam knew it as well.

I knew it was coming. I heard a movement. The next thing I know Bella is on her way over to me with rage in her eyes.

"I want to talk with you!" she demanded.

"And why would I talk with someone like you?" I asked.

"Seriously, this isn't funny Crim. We need to talk. Now!"

"Fine... Sam if I'm not back in ten minutes kill them all for me." I said angrily.

"As much as I would like to..." he said regretfully.

"Fine just come after me."

Bella and I walked out of the cafeteria, and a ways away to avoid any wondering ears hearing what we were talking about.

"First thing, Where have you been?" she asked.

"Well Bella, when you looked at me like you did the last day I was there and chose them over me I didn't really want to be alive anymore. So I ran away and long story short fell asleep for about a year." I said showing no emotions.

"Okay then. Next question is why did you never tell me you weren't human?"

"You didn't need to know. Plain and simple."

"Why a werewolf? Your part vampire! You can't love a werewolf!"

"Now listen here bitch." I started getting angry. "Sam is the sweetest, most caring man I have ever known. Plus I didn't really have a choice in the matter."

"You always have a choice, you ass."

"Not when it comes to imprinting."

"Oh... he imprinted on you. They told me about that."

"Yeah and I have found that I love him more than anything. Especially now since my parents disowned me."

"Your... your parents disowned you? Why?"

"Because I love a werewolf, and I'm gay."

"That sucks... we didn't know that."

"Look Bella..." I started.

"No... I want to apologize Crim. I don't know why I made the face I did that day. I chose them because I love Edward. I mean were getting married after we finish high school."

"Bella... I don't care honestly. You left me. You made me feel like nothing. Like I didn't even exist, and Sam is the only person who actually brings meaning to my life. I thank you for the friendship we had, but as of now I don't want anything more to do with you, or the Cullen's for that matter. I am avoiding contact with vampires in general for a while anyways. Maybe someday we can have a friendship again, but for now I can't even look at you. I truly am sorry Isabella."

After I said that she just stood there with a pained look on her face. I walked away. I walked back into the cafeteria to find Sam and the pack all riled up over something. Sam was practically smoldering. I walked over and he was so mad he looked like he would explode any second.

"What happened?" I asked.

"We heard one of the Cullen's make a threat at your life." Sam said through gritted teeth.

"What?"

"The brown-haired one. Bella's mate, he made a threat at your life for upsetting her."

"Really? I don't believe this. All I need are a bunch of angry crybabies fighting."

I look at Sam.

"Are you really going to let something as silly as a threat get to you?" I ask seriously.

"You don't understand. I have the intense urge to defend you. Any and every way possible." he said fidgeting slightly.

I could feel the Cullen's getting riled up. Probably because Bella wasn't back. Then Bella came in and they all calmed down. Her expression was set. A look of indifference. She walked over to her table and whispered. By that time everybody had left for class.

"He doesn't want anymore to do with vampires. Apparently his parents disowned him for loving a werewolf and being gay."

"I would to if my son loved a mutt. A boy mutt at that." Edward said.

That through me off the cliff. I had been holding an apple at the time. Trying to make it look like I was eating. I had it in hand one moment the next I had threw it with such force it went straight through the wall next to his head. They all looked at me venomously. They all stood up as if expecting a fight.

'Bring it fag.' I heard Edward think before he smirked at me.

Everything went black then.

Sam's Point of View:

I saw Crim throw an apple with such an incredible speed it went right through the wall next to the Cullen's head. When they got up I was hoping Crim would let it go. I saw the brown headed one smirk a little before Crim lost it.

His eyes had glazed over to black and his nails had grown sharper. He bared his fangs and lunged. I grabbed him right out of the air. If I had responded a second later I would have missed.

I had to literally drag him out of the room in order for him to calm down. Luckily we had only been in there for a minute at the most. So class hadn't started yet. Suddenly Crim turned and began bawling. He cried into my chest his hands clenched onto my jacket.

"It's okay Crim." I said rocking him back and forth trying to soothe him.

"No it's not. Edward called me a fag. That on top of losing the first friend I had here, it's just too much Sam."

"He did what?"

I was pissed. I hated that word, and I'm guessing Crim probably hates it more than I do if it can trigger him to do that.

"Class is about to start Crim. We can talk about this later okay?" I asked him.

"Okay." He said drying his tears.

He hadn't ruined my jacket because it's black and the blood doesn't really show, but I took it off anyway.

I caught Crim looking as I took off the jacket but I pretended not to notice. The rest of the pack had all left for class and it left myself and Crim in the hallway alone.

"I'll see you after class Crim." I said smiling.

"Alright Sam." he said as he began to walk away.

Thinking quickly I spun him back around and wrapped my arms around his waist kissing him passionately.

I could feel his face heat up before he began to kiss back. As I pulled away he looked a little upset.

"Sam..." he whined. "Not here!"

I almost laughed. He was so childish sometimes. We both continued on our way to class.

The rest of the day passed without incident. Luckily today was Friday so we could all rest easy. I was a Senior and my last year here was almost finished. I originally hated coming here. I thought coming here would allow me to find my imprint and for the longest time I gave up on it. Then I met Crimson. He has turned everything around for me. I used to be so lonely. I was always quiet and to myself. I mean I am still like that but he has me opening up more. I have come to realise I need him.

I was currently waiting for Crim to come out so we could leave. I saw the Cullen's all leave.

'Good.' I thought. 'Hate those asses anyway.'

"Sam. That's not very nice." I heard someone say.

I looked down and saw Crim with his arms crossed.

"What? Well I don't." I said defending myself.

"I know, but it's still not nice." Crim said smiling deviously.

"Oh so throwing an apple at light speed at someone's head is?" I asked.

"Hey! I wasn't aiming for him. If I was it would have hit him." he said walking to the truck and getting in before I could say anything else.

I drove us home while Crimson told me about the good parts of his day. When we finally got home I noticed all the guys had beat us there. I was excited for tomorrow. I will be taking Crim out on our first date, and as a man of my word I would be paying. Even if I had won I would have paid anyway but Crim didn't need to know that.

"Are you ready for tomorrow Crim?" I asked as I parked the truck in the garage.

"I've been waiting all week Sam." he said blushing slightly.

"Good."

"Where are we going though?"

"It's a secret."

I didn't want to give away that I wasn't taking him out to eat to a restaurant. I was going to be taking him out for a dinner to a clearing I found. Not the one I found him in. This one had a more... magical feeling to it. I had asked Seth to prepare food for the both of us, keeping in mind that Crim might not be able to eat regular food. So I made sure to pack some blood packets we... acquired from a veterinary office.

"Oh come on Sam! You can tell me!" he said pleading with a sad face.

"Don't do that to me Crim! I am not telling you, I want it to be a surprise." I said getting frustrated at my imprint.

"Fine..." he said pouting slightly. "I was just kidding anyway."

I rolled my eyes as we walked into the house. They had covered up the scent of the food with a lot of heavy smelling cleaning products, and by the looks of it Crim didn't suspect a thing.

"Ugh, I'm tired. I'm going to go to bed Sam okay." he said.

"Alright Crimson. I'll see you tomorrow." I said kissing him goodnight causing him to blush slightly..

I laughed a little at something I just noticed. Everytime I kiss Crim or show any affection he blushes. I just might keep that in mind. After I heard his door close I went to check on Seth.

I walked into the kitchen and found that Paul had Seth backed against the wall and was holding Seth's hands above his head. They were currently face-to-face doing the only thing they've been doing since Paul imprinted on Seth and vice versa.

I cleared my throat causing Seth to jump.

"Just a question. Is everything ready?" I asked.

"Yes Sam." Seth said blushing intensely.

"Alright. I'll leave you two alone."

'I swear those two are insane. I mean why would they do that here?' I thought to myself.

I decided to go to bed early today. It had been a very long day. I needed some sleep maybe then I could think clearer. As I entered the room I saw a movement coming from my bed. I turned on the lights and found Crimson cuddled into my sheets. He looked so cute right then. I didn't mind sleeping with him. It wasn't an issue for me like it would be most guys in my position. He doesn't love me like that yet. I can only be what he wants me to be. If he for as long as he lived wanted me to just be a friend. I would gladly be just a friend. That does not mean he can have other boyfriends. Us imprinters are too territorial for that. So if Crim ever does want me in that way then I can be there for him in that way. I will always love him, and I hope he loves me too.

"Well..." he said.

I just chuckled slightly as I walked over to the bed. Apparently I was taking too long because the next thing I know Crim has pulled me down onto the bed. I pulled the covers over me and pulled Crim close to me. My heart filled with pride as he laid his head down on my chest. I was positive he heard it too, because my heart skipped a beat as his hands joined his head on my chest. I couldn't think of being anywhere else but there.

"Crim?" I asked quietly enough as to not wake him if he was asleep but loud enough for him to hear me if he wasn't.

"Yeah Sam?" he responded sleepily.

"Will you stay here in my room with me?"

"As in move in with you?"

"Yeah."

"Only if you want me to Sam."

"I really do Crimson. I really do."

"Okay, I will then."

"Good. Sleep well Crimson."

"You too Sam."

'Oh I will.' I thought to myself.

Crimson's Point Of View:

'Tomorrow got here too fast.' I thought to myself.

I awoke with my head on Sam's chest. Right where I fell asleep. Today was the day. Our first date.

"Good morning Crimson." Sam said scaring me.

"Good morning Sam." I said as I leaned down pressing my lips to his.

I don't know what caused me to do that but I enjoyed it.

"Look! You're not blushing!" Sam pointed out.

"There's a first for everything." I mumbled.

"Are you ready for later?"

"I can't wait." I said smiling. "Speaking of, I need to take a shower."

I ran out of his room and into mine. I took a long relaxing shower. By the time I got out I wanted to go to sleep again. After I got dressed I went downstairs to look for Sam. I looked everywhere but couldn't find him.

I saw Seth doing I don't know what.

"Seth!" I yelled slightly making him jump.

"What's wrong Crimson?" he asked.

"Have you seen Sam?"

"Yeah he just left and said something about 'Getting it ready,' before running off."

"Well... wanna watch some movies?"

"Sure. He took Paul, Jake, and Embry to help him."

"He probably planned it to be like this."

"Well duh. He's Sam."

We laughed at that.

We watched movies until it was six o' clock in the afternoon. Sam and the guys all came in and scared both me and Seth because we were at an intense part in a movie. Sam came over to me, picked me up and walked outside.

"Really Sam?" I asked blushing.

"Well, I've been waiting all day and I have gotten sick of it. I want to go now." he said.

"Alright. Calm down."

"Wait. Put this on."

He had tossed me a really thick blind fold.

"Help me?" I asked.

He smiled a little as he came around behind me and tied the blind fold. He walked me to what I guessed to be the truck. We drove before I heard the familiar sound of tires on dirt before coming to a stop.

"Alright we have a way to go, unless you're okay riding on my back?" Sam asked.

"Sure." I said smiling.

I heard him sliding off his clothes and even though I couldn't see I was blushing madly. I heard him chuckle slightly before hearing that familiar sound of ripping flesh and then paws hitting the ground.

'Okay Crim. I know you can read my mind now so I am going to have to block you so you don't find out.' I heard him say in my head.

"Alright Sam." I said aloud.

I felt his mind disappear as he set up mental walls. I head his paws hitting the ground as he walked over to me. I put my hands on his side so I could have something else to sense. I felt him kneel down so I could get on. Once I was secure he took off at an amazing speed. Even though I could travel as fast if not faster it still felt weird. He ran for a good hour before coming to a rest. I could hear the openness by the sounds. It took longer for the sounds to reach my ears here than it did in the forests. I heard him shifting back after I slid off. Then I heard the sound of clothes being pulled on.

"Alright Crimson. I'm going to take the blind fold off now okay?" Sam asked.

"Okay." I said.

As he took the blind fold off I saw we were in a huge clearing. I was amazed as well because I saw the clearing was all set up for a very romantic night.

"Sam... This is so sweet." I said wanting to cry. "I can't believe you did all of this for us."

"Crimson, you know I would do anything for you right?" Sam asked.

"Yeah..." I said.

"And you know I love you correct?"

"Yes..." I was getting worried now.

"Crimson, you couldn't possibly know how much I love you. I will always want you with me. I know we've only known each other for a year really, but I've come to love you even more than what they said imprinting could."

He got down on one knee and pulled out a little box.

"Will you marry me?" he asked.

My mind went blank. I couldn't think. I stood there surprised for what felt like an hour but couldn't have been more than a minute before snapping out of it.

"Of course I will Sam." I said feeling so much joy at that moment.

He stood up smiling as he slipped the ring onto my third finger before kissing me like he never had before. He put so much passion into the kiss I thought I was going to pass out from lack of air, as if I could. He had planned every little aspect down to the last detail. He didn't know what kind of food I could eat so he went with blood for me.

"Sam I actually might be able to eat regular food, I've just never tried." I admitted.

"I'll remember that next time." he said.

After we finished we were both very tired. He walked me over to the bed he had brought out here somehow. I gave him a questioning look which he just laughed at. I laid down on the bed not bothering to crawl in. It was too hot out here anyway. He did the same. I laid with my head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me and we drifted off to sleep.
