Its been a while, but I just watched Breaking Dawn and I was inspired :P I do not own Twilight or anything associated with Twilight.
"You know, I like Jacob." my dad spoke the second I stepped foot into the kitchen.
I yawned, still half a sleep, hair in a messy bun, and clad in pajamas. "And?"
"Well, I haven't seen you and him spend much time together…"
"And?" I raised an eyebrow.
"Watch your tone." I shrunk back into my stool. "Well, you being his imprint and all…" he trailed off, glancing up at me from his newspaper.
I sighed, "Its much more complicated than imprinting dad. Much more complicated."
"Enlighten me." he said, taking a huge gulp of his coffee.
I thought for a moment, and then came to the conclusion that it was either now or never. "Jacob's in love with someone else."
My dad nearly spit up his coffee… in laughter. "He's imprinted on you, I'm sorry, but I highly doubt that."
"Its more then just love dad," I glared at him, his laughter irked me, "He's known this girl forever, and he thought that he would get her. But then I showed up. He knew he was going to imprint on me, so he ignored me. He never wanted to imprint on me. I'm just a burden to him and Bella's life."
His face hardened, "Bella…?"
"Swan. The pale chick in forks."
"I know who she is."
"Wha-?"
He stood up and straightened out his shirt, "I'm inviting Jacob over for the day. Include your brother."
"I actually-"
"Try to keep Jacob out of Bella's life." ending with a stern look, he walked out the door leaving me utterly confused.
I through on some old jeans that had grease stains, a t-shirt under one of my brothers flannel shirts, and my converse. I yelled at my brother to call Jacob to come over via my dad's orders, and headed to the garage.
In the next couple of minutes I found myself under the hood of the '69, grease up to my elbows, and Jesse J's Domino blasting in my iPod earphones.
"Rock my world into the sunlight, make this dream the best I've ever known. Dirty dancing in the moonlight, Take me down like I'm a domino!" I belted to my self, "Every second is a highlight, When we touch don't ever let me go. Dirty dancing in the moonlight, Take me down like I'm a domino!" I bobbed my head to the beat, "You got me-"
"MACKENZIE!"
I jumped and nearly knocked myself out with the hood of that car, "WHAT?" I yelled ripping my headphones out.
"Jacob's here."
I froze when I heard a light chuckling from behind me. I slowly turned around, and low and behold, it was the devil himself. "Hi." I blushed several different reds at one time.
"You're a pretty good singer." He said as he slowly walked into the garage. Damn, he looked liked a model.
"Ha." I rolled my eyes and continued working on the '69.
"Since when do you know anything about cars?" He asked, leaning in beside me, and rolling up his sleeves, making his arm muscles look even better as he rested his weight on his hands.
I looked at him with a serious face, "Jacob Black, if you are one those stereotypical guys that think a girl is not allowed to know about cars, just go ahead and walk out." I said gesturing to the open garage door.
He laughed and shook his head, then looked back at me, "I think it's kinda hot." I blushed for the second time, "Besides," he added, turning to lean his back against the car, "I'd rather a girl work on my engine."
I froze, completely solid, did this kid just say what I thought he did?
"Thanks for inviting me over." He spoke after a couple of awkward minutes.
"My dad made me."
His face turn upset, "But you promised."
I smiled up at him, "I had my fingers crossed." He narrowed his eyes at me.
"No fair."
"That's how I play. Get used to it."
He rolled his eyes at me, "So what exactly are you doing?" I just looked at him, "With car dumb ass."
I glared, "Tightening some things, then I'm going to work on connecting the brakes and gas pedal."
"Easy." He stated, rolling back onto his heels and crossing his arms.
"So easy?" I raised an eyebrow at him, "then you connect the pedals, while I finish this."
"Deal." He grabbed the right tools he needed, my skate board, and rolled under the car.
After a couple of minutes, a question pooped into my head.
"Jacob?" I asked, looking at him through a hole in the engine.
"yeah?" he said, his eyebrow furrowed in concentration. His arm muscle would tighten as he worked, making me lose focus. "what is it?" he said, raising an eyebrow up at me.
I bit my lip, and placed a lose hair that was dangling behind my ear, "Why are you here and not with Bella?"
He looked up at me with his liquid brown eyes, "I've figured out where I'm really supposed to be."
I tried to bite back my smile, "And where is that?"
"Where do you think?" he smiled back. My face was a bright red and my cheeks were numb from smiling. "I'm supposed to be with Matt…duh."
My face fell and my mouth formed an 'o', "You jerk!" I quickly kicked his legs and tried to run off, but he tripped me up causing me to fall. He slide out and I jumped up to run but he caught my waist. After a moment of struggling we both fell to the floor laughing, him hovering above me. His smile was absolutely breathtaking. After out laughter died down we laid there staring at each other. I noticed that his eyes had a lighter brown circling his pupil. I reached my hand up slowly and my pressed my thumb lightly into the indention of his chin. "I love that." I whispered, lightly rubbing it. I move my finger to brush the dark circle under his eyes from patrolling, then down to his cheek and his jaw line. I was mesmerized the entire time, his brown eyes watched my carefully.
"Would you stop me if I tried to kiss you?" he whispered, my eyes darted to his. I gulped and shook my head no. He gave me a slight smile and slowly started to lean in. I felt my heart thump against my chest. He started to close his eyes, so I did too. I held my breathe and nearly jumped when his lips finally met mine.
My first kiss.
I felt my world start to spin as his lips started to move against mine, I gently pushed against his chest. Our lips made a smacking sound as they disconnected.
"I'm sorry-" he began to get off. I quickly wrapped my hands around his neck and brought him back down.
"I wasn't complaining." I replied breathless, "I…I just don't know what to do."
He gave me a sweet smile, "Just follow my lead." he leaned back in and swiftly pressed his lips back against mine. He started moving his lips against mine and I did the same. It felt amazing and I couldn't hold back the moan as he slide his hand up my side and to my neck. I slid my fingers up his neck and ran them through his hair, he suddenly slide his tongue against my mouth causing me to pull on his hair. He pulled away and let out a throaty groan. I blushed and lightly kissed his neck before dropping my hands. We laid there for a moment looking back at each other.
"Mack I'm hungry!" Matt yelled, opening the garage door. Me and Jacob froze, looking up at my brother standing in the door way. "I'm telling dad!" he sang and quickly shut the door. Both me and Jacob busted out laughing.
"So what exactly are you going to tell dad?" I asked Matt, flipping over his grilled cheese. Jacob had left only a couple of minutes before to patrol.
"That you and Jacob where making out."
"Because making out with my imprinter is a crime?"
"I- damn. I forgot about that."
I laughed and handed him his sandwich on a plate. "So what are you plans for today?" I asked stealing a corner of his sandwich and hopping up on the counter.
He narrowed his eyes at me and hid his plate away from me, "Sam is supposed to help me get better at controlling my emotions and telling me the rules." he shoved down the rest of his sandwich, "You can come. Jacob's supposed to be there!" he wiggled his eyebrows at me.
I shrugged, "I don't know… I'm not sure if I'm allowed to be there…"
"Your Jacob's imprint, you can do whatever the freak you want."
"Huh?"
His eyes widened, "Wellllp I should start heading over there, you coming or not? Cause you kinda have to drive me anyway…"
I rolled my eyes and grabbed my keys, "Let's go."
"Mackers!" Embry yelled running across the open field towards me.
"Emmy bear!" I yelled, and hugged him back.
"What are you doing here?" he pulled away smiling.
I shrugged, "I had nothing better to do. Besides I want see you guys go all wolfy."
He laughed and led me over to where Emily was sitting. I plopped down beside her and Embry walked off to wrestle with Quil.
"So how are things?" she smiled, playfully bumping into my shoulder.
"Good." I smiled, blushing and biting my lip.
"Oh my God! He kissed you!" she whispered excitedly. I blushed and buried my face in my hands, "Is he a good kisser? Come on give me something!" she gushed.
"It was my first kiss." my face turned even more red and I peeked out at her.
"Mackenzie!" she squeaked. We sat there laughing and talking as Sam taught my brother the do's and don'ts of being a werewolfy.
It was dark when we started back home, "I thought you said Jake was supposed to be there?" I mentioned, turning onto our road.
"He was." he shrugged, he was hiding something.
"Do you…do you know where he was?"
"Nope." he answered quickly.
I pulled into our drive and held down the lock button. "Yes you do, so tell me."
"No you'll both get mad."
"Matt."
"I really don't-…you just now started to get along!"
I sighed and let go of the button, but he didn't move. "I understand why you don't want to tell me. I just don't want to get in over my head."
"He was with Bella, Mack. He was with her."
I didn't know how to react. I just sat there. My body felt numb. "I think it's time you get inside." I whispered and started the car.
"Mac-"
"Get inside." I said a little louder. He didn't say anything else. I waited until he was inside before driving away.
I quickly shut my car and tramped up to the little red house. I knocked on the door, trying to stop the tears.
"Mackenzie?" he said stunned, his mouth formed a smiled but then he seen my state, "What-"
"'I've figured out where I'm really supposed to be.'" my voice cracked as I quoted him, "Are you honestly trying to kill me from the inside out?"
"I just can't let him hurt her." Jacob pleaded.
"So you let me hurt instead?"
"She's my-"
"She your what Jacob?" I could fell a tear or two escape. He reached his hand up to wipe them away but I flinched back.
"She's a friend."
"Then what am I?"
"You're my… imprint."
I nodded, "I see." I quickly spun around and started towards my car.
"Where are you going?" he quickly ran after me. A crack of thunder interrupted the sobs and heavy footsteps as it started to pour freezing rain.
"Home." I chocked out, digging for my keys in my pocket.
"No your not. We are going to talk about this." he placed his hand firmly on my car door. My hair stuck to my face as I looked up at him.
"I can't do this anymore, if this is what being an imprint is like, I want no part."
"It's to late. Your mine, end of story." he yelled over the roar of the rain.
"Then treat me like it!" I yelled, "Treat me like you treat Bella."
"Your so much more to me then Bella is."
"Bullshit!" I ran my fingers through my bangs trying to get them out of my face,
"Do you know how hard it is to compete with someone that is already set up on a pedestal? She's so fucking important to you, and I'm nothing. I'm just a little casualty that our genes say has to happen."
"Please just come inside so we can talk!" he begged.
"I'm tired of talking! If I mean as much to you as you say you do, prove it!"
His next action caught me completely off guard. He scooped me into his arms and trudged back to his house. "Let go!" I yelled as he busted through his front door. He slammed it shut with his foot and carried me down a narrow hall. He threw me onto a bed in some room. He disappeared and I was to into shock to move. He came back with towels and he stripped off his shirt, quickly going to his closet and pulling out some clothes.
"Put this on." he said in a low voice handing me some dry clothes. "The bathroom is across the hall." I mechanically got up and walked into the hallway. I looked at the door, I could try to run for it. But I found myself changing into his clothes in the bathroom and returning to the room. He sat there his elbows resting on his knees and looking up at me.
I stood there with my arms wrapped round my body. His clothes fit me like my brothers did, the short was loose but the shorts hugged my hips. "You look beautiful." he murmured. I didn't say anything, I didn't even blush. "Come here." he patted the area of the bed next to him. I sat down Indian style facing his side and leaning against the wall behind me. "Where do you want to start?"
"Why her?" I whispered so my voice wouldn't crack.
"We grew up together, you could say I had a crush on her back then too. But when she came back, I don't know. She was just… unreal to me. I have this overwhelming feeling to protect her and love her."
"Do you… I'm mean, are you in love with her?"
"No. I'm not in love with her. But I do love her." I just nodded, "I want her to love me, and not him."
"We can't always have what we want." I stated, he nodded in agreement. "What can I do?"
"what?" he asked looking at me for the first time since he started talking.
"Help you get the girl." I said looking into his eyes, "You said that imprinting is about being what ever the other person needs. You need someone to help you, to guide you. I'm going to help you get the girl."
He shook his head, "I'm not going to get her, his claws are sunk into her to deep."
I snorted, "Don't you mean teeth?"
"That's not funny." he said sternly, but then he started laughing. We both laughed for a moment, he laid back on his bed. "I kissed her today." The same day you kissed me. "she didn't react to well."
"What she do? Punch you?" I laughed.
"Yeah, she did."
"Oh wow." I stopped laughing.
"I want you to meet her." he said, resting his hand on my knee and rubbing his thumb into my skin.
"Jacob, I said I'd help. I didn't say I was going to converse and become BFF's with the girl."
"I just want the two most important people in my life to get along."
I shook my head, "If this is going to work out. Your going to have to stop saying shit like that." I pushed his hand off my knee, "Or doing things like that."
"Why?" he scrunched his eyebrows together.
I just shook my head and closed my eyes, leaning my head against the wall. We sat there in silence for a couple of minutes until my phone started to ring. I reached into the shorts pocket and fished out my phone. "Hello?" I answered, not even checking the caller id.
"Where are you? Dad's starting to ask questions." Matt whispered into the phone. I looked over at a sleeping Jacob, his features looked distraught and I didn't think I could leave him like that.
"I'm at Jacob's."
"WHA-"
"SH! Tell him I decided to stay at Emily's tonight, and that I'll go straight to school from her house."
"Fine… Be careful Mack. I don't want you to get hurt." he sighed before ending the call.
I set my phone down on the floor and grabbed a pillow from atop of Jacob's bed. I laid down to where my head was at his feet and my feet barely hit his shoulders. Not long after that did I pass out.
