Jared's point of view: Chapter 5

I was in the middle of the woods walking home. It has been a crazy two weeks. I was now a werewolf and I had an amazing imprint. I was still upset that Paul hasn't shifted yet even though it wasn't fun being a werewolf. I hated keeping this stupid secret from my brother. While I was walking I heard someone.

"Fucking asshole! I swear to God! I'm going to fucking kill the fucking bitch and her abusive dick!" I heard a deep voice yell.

"Paul is that you?" I asked once I saw him.

"What the fuck are you doing here dick?" He spat at me.

"Dude what happened?" I asked worried for my brother. He was covered in his blood and had bruises all over his face and arms. His mouth was gushing out blood.

"Why the fuck do you care? You haven't been around; you just disappeared for two weeks and left me alone with them! You won't even tell me where the fuck you were and you are following Sam Uley around like you're his little bitch! Oh wait I forgot you found yourself a pathetic little bitch! I don't even get why you're into Kim all of a sudden! It's not like she's letting you fuck her! Maybe she is, maybe the good girl thing is a fucking act! I hope you have fun fucking her!" He snarled pitting the blood out of his mouth.

"Don't talk about her like that! Don't you dare say that shit about her! You have no idea what she means to me! Leave her out of this! She hasn't done a fucking thing to you! You don't know anything!" I yelled back shoving him hard. I instantly felt sick, I just felt so pissed and I couldn't stop it.

"Your right I don't know anything! You won't tell me a fucking thing. What happened to having each other's backs? You disappeared for weeks, haven't told me shit, you now like this random girl and now you just shoved me! What happened to my brother?" He snapped shaking badly. He shoved me back hard.

"Paul I can't tell you now! You have to wait! I am sorry but I really can't explain!" I yelled hoping he would understand.

He didn't understand though. He started shaking at an inhuman rate. And before I knew it he phased into a wolf. I was at a safe distance but I remembered how painful it was the first time and he shifted because of anger and mostly because of me.

Oh fuck! I am such a douche! My best friend just shifted into a werewolf and I just stood there like a dick.

I quickly phased into my wolf form. I let out an alerting how to notify Sam a couple times. Everything had changed.

Jared's point of view

Sam and I spent days helping Paul adjust to being a werewolf. Sam would let me go to school and I would come home and switch with him. Paul and I have barley spoken these last couple days and I haven't had the time to go see Kim at all. So overall I was failing at being a boyfriend and imprint to Kim and was completely failing at being a good friend to Paul.

It was my turn with Paul and we were in our human forms. He was having a severe hard time trying to control his temper. I just hoped it would get better. The sharing thoughts and memories caught us up.

"So that's why you been interested in Kim so suddenly?" He asked looking down. I wanted to growl because everyone knew she liked me and I was stupid enough not to realize her.

"Yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you." I said looking down swallowing my pride.
"Dude why the fuck are you sorry? Gosh this whole imprint has you acting like a little bitch. I should have realized there was something going on with you. A good friend would have known some shit was going on. I didn't, I didn't want to even find out, but I never imagined it would be because you're a fucking wolf." He said quickly.

"Dude I'm the asshole. I should have still had your back. What started the fight with your mom this time?" I asked. He let out of long sigh.

"My dad randomly showed up and started bossing me around like he had the damn right to tell me what the fuck to do. He's barely even showed his face for the fast seventeen years and he decides to play authority figure. So then mom who was fucking wasted shows up and he hits her. So then I start beating the shit out of him and he fought back. He got some hits in but I was better. He stormed out and my mom yelled and threw her fucking glass at me. She called me a bastard and dick blaming me that he blew up and left. She didn't give a damn about him hitting her or me defending her. All she cared about was he left and it was my fault. He's a fucking dick that's going to burn in hell and she is a pathetic bitch." He rambled getting angry. We now were at the beach.

"Paul…" I started to say.
"Jared there is nothing you can do. It's all done with. It's just we've been best friends so long. You are like my own brother; you're the only family who I trust. So if I'm ever an asshole just remember that. I got your back." He said sincerely. He gave me a guy hug and pulled back punching me in the gut.

"Thank God I though t you were getting to sensitive." I laughed.
"Prick." He laughed.

"Jared?" I heard a soft voice say. I turned around and felt amazing. I saw Kim but then the wonderful feeling disappeared. I could feel that she was hurt through the bond. I had been avoiding her for the last couple of days trying to help Paul and Sam patrol.
"Hey Kim." I smiled. She smiled lightly but I saw the sadness in her eyes.

"Hey Kim before you get mad at my brother, you should know he hadn't been avoiding you on purpose. I had some problems and he's been a good friend keeping me calm. He is fucking crazy about you, so much it makes me sick. You two are good together, so don't be pissed at him." Paul smiled.

"Oh um okay. Sorry I had no right being upset. I'm sorry to hear that something serious was going on. Um I really don't know what to say." She said getting flustered.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around her. I kissed her softly then built up the kiss. I missed her mouth and her body so much. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I tightened my grip on her. I saw Paul gag out of the corner of my eye. I turned Kim so her back was to him and I flicked him off. He laughed. I finally pulled away from Kim and she was blushing hard.

The problem was I had time to relax and I really wanted to spend it with Kim but then I didn't want to ditch Paul. Paul sensed my dilemma and said goodbye to both Kim and I.

Kim and I just sat on a huge rock on the beach. She had her legs across my lap and I wrapped my arms gently around her. We didn't say a word, we just sat there grateful to be with each other again.

"I feel like you're keeping something from me." Kim said shyly.

"What do you mean?" I said trying to keep calm.
"I don't really know. It's just you were mysteriously gone for weeks then come back all muscular and your barely at school. You disappear for hours and I barely see you. And now the same thing happened to Paul. You've been telling everyone you were sick but that doesn't explain how you grew a whole foot or anything. It doesn't make sense that you just glance at me and suddenly want to be with me. I've like you for years and randomly you like me back. It's just all so confusing." She explained.

"I know it's confusing. There is more to the story but I can't tell you just yet. I promise I will tell you soon. Just please be patient. Why wouldn't I like you? You're gorgeous, smart and amazing. Trust me what I feel for you isn't impulsive, it's real. If you really want to be with me you have to be okay with every part of me. I don't want to lie to you but I can't tell you the whole truth." I said softly tracing a pattern on her leg.

She nodded kissing me softly. Her soft hands cupped my face. I deepened the kiss. I knew she would give me time but I didn't want to hide the truth from her much longer. Kim was my imprint and soon I would give her the truth, my heart and the world.
