I do not own Twilight.
Delilah's POV
I woke up the next morning still dressed in what I wore the night before. Ew, I thought. I looked over at Bandit who was curled up next to me, then I realized I was in my room. Huh I guess Jacob must have brought me here after I fell asleep. I pondered over the night before. I guess I lost my battle to fight nature. Stupid nature always has to win. Stupid Jacob, has to be all sexy and understanding. Stupid Adrian, has to show up and complicate everything.
I glanced outside and noticed it was actually sunny outside.
"Hey Bandit wanna go for a hike today?" I asked him. He had grown so much over the past month. He was no longer that little puppy. I loved walking around town with Bandit, now there were only half the guys following me as before. Jake always joked about it because Bandit was probably the wimpiest pit bull in the history of pit bulls. I looked out my window and saw my dad's car outside, he must have gotten home this morning. I quickly showered and threw on my Victoria PINK track suit and put a green sweater on Bandit. Just as Jake had predicted, this would probably be the first and last time he would wear it since it barely fit him.
When I got downstairs I noticed Billy and my dad sitting in the living room. I ran over and gave my dad a hug and waved at Billy.
"So Dells, what do you have planned today?" Billy asked me.
"I was thinking about going on a hike with Bandit."
"That's a good idea. You should invite Jacob." said Billy. I saw the twinkle in his eye. The old man knew what happened yesterday. Damn I knew I shouldn't have left a mark on Jake's neck. I thought he had super fast healing powers.
"I thought about it but he seemed pretty tired yesterday and he was patrolling late this week. I figured I just let him rest."
"Are you sure Dells," my dad said. "These woods aren't like Los Angeles."
"Yeah so they are crawling with giant wolves instead of perverted gangsters? I think I can handle it daddy. Really I will be fine."
"Okay bud, but take your cell with you. You know, in case someone wants to get in contact with you." my dad said casually. Too casually.
"So Billy told you huh? I swear you two should start a gossip magazine for La Push or something. You know more about Jacob and me than we do!"
"Maybe you shouldn't leave 'evidence' lying around for Billy to see then," my dad said smiling. Most people would think it is weird for a father to be joking about his daughter giving some guy a hickey, but that was my dad.
"Fine," I got up and hooked Bandit's leash to his collar. "Next time I will make sure Jake's hickeys are covered by his shirt." I said proudly. That will teach them.
I was almost out the door when I heard Billy call, "That would work Delilah, if Jake wore shirts."
"ARGH!" I screamed back and slammed the door. I could hear their laughter inside the house. They are so annoying!
I made my way to a trail and started walking. I had went through this trail before with Jacob right after we started hanging out. I smiled thinking about the last month. I recalled when I was so against this whole imprinting business, but I didn't hate it as much anymore. Instead it was a strong dislike. I wish I knew that Jacob would be spending his time with me even if he didn't imprint on me. But I guess I have to take what I can get. I gave Jacob a choice. I told him if it made him happier to be with someone else he could be, that I would accept it. I half expected him to go running screaming "I'm free the bitch let me go!" but instead he looked at me and nodded, then took my hand and kept walking along the beach with me. I guess that was the proof I was going to have to use to show he would be with me even if he didn't imprint. Then my other proof was of course that girl Bella. She was constantly calling him and leaving him messages. She would show up at his house unannounced a lot. She even started hanging out with us at his house sometimes. It was incredibly awkward and usually resulted in me excusing myself to go home. Jake had once tried to get her to leave but I didn't want that. As much as a selfish brat I was I didn't want him to end his friendship with her. I didn't know very much about their relationship until yesterday, but I knew they had been close. Bella hated whenever I was around Jacob. She would tense whenever he would touch me or smile at me. I kind of started going out of my way to touch Jacob when she was around, just to get her mad. It was pretty funny how her overly pale face would start getting red with every touch. And she was a bitch to me. I tried talking to her but it always came back to how I wouldn't understand cause I'm rich. Yeah because that makes loads of sense. Overall I wasn't worried about her. She had a fiancé and Jake was put in a horrible mood whenever he heard her voice. But that still didn't stop me from assuring him if he wanted to be with her I would be okay with it. I loved Jacob and I wanted him to be happy. As long as I made him happy I would try my hardest to be there for him, even if it wasn't exactly in the way he wanted.
Then the kisses we shared last night. I knew I was done for weeks ago but those kisses confirmed it. I had never experienced a kiss like I had with Jacob, not even with Adrian. And I was openly admitting I was in love with Adrian. I still don't understand how I came here expecting the worst possible scenarios in my head and ended up finding my soul mate. I wasn't ready to let Jake know yet, but I knew he had a hold over me now.
"Hey there Delilah," a voice spoke from behind me. I spun around to find Paul walking towards me in cut offs and tennis shoes.
"Hey dickhead," I said. Greeting Paul in my usual manner.
"What are you doing out here all alone? Where is your protector?" I knew of Paul's little crush on me. I found it quite amusing.
"He is off in dreamland. Leaving me to fend for my self."
"So I heard you two finally got together," he said quietly.
"Right you guys see each other's thoughts," I said. Jacob had patrolled right after it happened. Of course the entire pack would know by now.
"I am happy for you guys, Jake's a good guy."
"Wow did Paul actually compliment someone other than himself. You must have gotten laid last night."
"Hot blonde!" he announced laughing. I actually enjoyed talking to Paul. Sure he had a temper but he was a good way to forget about problems.
"Of course. So do you remember his name?" I said quickly.
"No actually I never remem- oh fuck you"
"You totally walked into that one"
"Whatever at least I don't leave hickeys on their necks for their fathers to find." he shot back.
"Well I had to leave my mark somehow and I couldn't find a pen anywhere," I said.
"When you guys have sex are you going to tattoo your name on his dick?" I looked at Paul then started laughing. "What the hell are you laughing at?"
"You know you two would be perfect for each other." I said, still in my own little world.
"What the fuck are you talking about Carter?"
"You and Leah. You two are so much a like." he nearly choked.
"Are you fucking serious?! Leah? The bitter hag? Sorry but I prefer my girls a little less bitch and with less baggage. Besides Leah is like a sister to me, if my sister was a hot, bitchy, rude, annoying chick."
"You do realize you called her hot?"
"Fuck you Carter, why would you even say something like that."
"Because its true. I see the way you look at each other. You are always pretending to check out other girls when really you are looking at Leah. And she does the same thing. I think it has something to do with the fact no one else tells you off like she does."
"You have no idea how wrong it is what you are saying," he said. I hear the cover up in his voice.
"Alright Paulie what ever you say." I said. "And you shouldn't let Sam stand in your way, I am just saying." Paul studied me for a little bit.
"Okay lets say yes I do have a thing for Leah, I am not saying I do, but if I did and I acted on it, then I imprinted on someone else, then what?" he asked. I smiled at him, geez he was clueless.
"You won't." I said.
"And how, Miss knowitall, do you know?"
"I had a vision of it." I said quietly. For some reason my visions had started coming back. They were just minor ones now, but if I wasn't careful about using my powers, they will become more plentiful.
"So you're sayin-"
"Paul I am not saying anymore. All I am telling you is you will not imprint on anyone else and neither will she. Whether or not you two work out or even start anything, that is completely up to you two." I said. My phone started ringing. I reached into my pocket and pulled it out.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey Dells, its Jake." I smiled at the sound of his voice.
"Hey Jake whats up?"
"Nothing just woke up, my dad left a message for me to call you. I figured now that they know we sorta got together they will push us together all they can."
"Yeah probably. So I am hiking right now with Bandit. I am gonna head back soon. You wanna meet at my house? The Dodgers game is on later." he snickered when I said the Dodgers.
"You wanna see them get killed again?"
"Whatever I don't recall the first time they were 'killed'. Just head over here." I said then hung up. I glanced at Paul who looked like he was in deep thought.
"Well I am gonna head back home," he said avoiding eye contact with me.
"Okay see you later Paul," I said and began walking back toward my house. "Oh and Paul, say hi to Leah for me." I said smiling.
"I don't know what you are talking about," he said smiling back. With that he headed off in the direction of the Clearwater house.
I was walking on the side of the road on my way back to my house when a beat up old truck stopped besides me. Oh great, I thought.
"Hey have you seen Jacob?" Bella asked me.
"Um yeah he is on my way to my house." I said. No way am I inviting her to my house.
"Oh I wanted to talk to him. He has seemed kind of distant lately." she said. For some reason her statement got me angry.
"Gee you think," I said rudely.
"What is that supposed to mean?" she said just as rudely.
"Oh I don't know. When you completely shatter a guys heart by telling him he isn't good enough for you I would imagine he would be 'distant'"
She stopped the car and got out. She made her way over to me and stood right in front of me. She was a bit taller than me. Was she serious? Did she honestly want to fight me over this. Haha this is actually really entertaining.
"You know what you spoiled little brat," she started. 'spoiled little brat' that was original. "You know nothing about Jacob and I so stop pretending you do. And stop keeping him from me! I know the only reason he doesn't return my phone calls is because of you!"
"Do you honestly think I would keep Jacob away from you? I am sorry but I am not that pathetic and Jacob is not that pathetic to let someone else control his life. Jacob is perfectly capable of making his own decisions. And he had decided he doesn't want you around, so stop being a creepy little stalker and stay away from him until he is ready to talk to you." there was fire burning in her eyes now. She quickly raised a hand to slap me but I caught it before she could strike me.
"Really you going to hit me. Will that magically make Jacob love you again? You are fucking engaged to another man ok. You need to leave Jacob alone. He doesn't need or want you anymore. Get. The. Fuck. Over. It." I said slowly. She looked at me with fire burning in her eyes. We had somehow made it to the middle of the street. I still had Bandits leash gripped in my hand. I was suddenly extremely angry. I was digging my nails into my palms, drawing blood. We were locked in a menacing staring contest.
"You will not have Jacob, you whore. You do not deserve him!" she said. My vision was beginning to go blurry. I was so angry I felt myself begin to tremble. This stupid girl doesn't know how much I could hurt her. I was breathing hard now attempting to keep my control over my powers.
"Delilah?" said a voice. His soft voice was enough to break me out of my trance.
"Bella?" said another. I tore my eyes away from hers and looked behind her. There exactly at the border of Forks stood Edward. He looked like he was contemplating crossing the border. Bella suddenly flew past me I turned around to find her flying to Jake's arms. He kept his arms at his sides and his eyes locked with mine. There was overwhelming sadness in his eyes. I felt the tears beginning to form in my eyes. Why was I crying? This bitch had hurt him again. He quickly yanked Bella off of him and ran over to me. He caught me just as my legs gave out. I struggled to control my tears. That bitch will not see me cry. That stupid bitch had no idea the danger she was just in. I blinked away my tears and saw that Bella was now standing near Edward. I noticed the trembling Jacob was doing and I hugged him back in an attempt to calm him down. I had no more energy to use my powers. Bandit was growling furiously at Edward.
"Get her the fuck out of here," Jacob said coldly to Edward. "Get her out of here and make sure she doesn't come back." I saw Edward gently take a weeping Bella into his arms and take her to her car. Jacob and I stood there. His arms protectively around me, my face buried in his chest. "Shhh baby its okay," he said stroking my hair.
"I could have hurt her Jacob," I said quietly. "She got me so angry. What if I hurt her?"
"You didn't and you know you wouldn't have," he said sternly. I took a few deep breaths. I wanted to believe him, but I couldn't fully convince myself. I looked into his eyes. I reached up and took his lips in mine. The kiss started out soft and gentle, but suddenly turned passionate and greedy. I wrapped my arms around his neck to bring him closer. He broke away and trailed kisses down my neck. I moaned softly. I loved his touch. He kissed his way back up to my lips and kissed me gently before resting his forehead against mine.
"Jacob," I said shakily.
"Yeah baby." he said.
"I think I am falling in love with you." I said quietly.
"I know I am falling in love with you," he said. I stood up straight and looked into his eyes. He began to lead us back to my house.
"You always have to out do me don't you," I laughed. He just chuckled in response and wrapped his arms around me once again. This, I thought drawing his arms closer, this is my home now.
