And…I do apologize for not being on for; what? 2 months? Maybe 4 now… *thinking face* possibly 6? Yeah, that's pretty sad on my part :( don't worry – I'm not dead, you get your chapter because I've gotten emails telling me how I'm not updating. I'm sorry guys again O-o didn't mean to be such a…uh, non-going-on-fanfiction-goer person :P Anyways

Review?

**Jelly-Bean-Jr.

Jacob's point of view:

I stare at the door Lakota left from for 5 whole minutes; not blinking once as my heart shattered over and over again in my ears. Done; she was done. With us? With me being friends with Bella? With me all together? Did she mean it? I clenched my jaw, finally looking away from the door and seeing that my dad and most of the pack had left. The only people were Paul, Quil, Embry, and Bella. And even then only two of them were looking at me.

Paul and Bella.

Bella had this wide, apologetic look on her face, chewing on her bottom lip; whereas Paul gave me a nasty look, something completely different from his usual glare. I can't say that I liked it much; but all I could do was ignore it as I turned my attention to Bella, sighing quietly.

"Bells, I'll call Charlie to come and pick you up," I murmur, instantly noticing how her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Aren't you going to drive me, Jake? I- I know you're hurting and everything, but please? You need a friend right now," I blew a long breath through my lips, thinking for a while as I stared at her; considering her words.

"I'll drive her," Embry finally spoke up, staring at me long and hard as my gaze flickered over towards him; a little shocked, "and," he adds simply, narrowing his eyes, "you can talk to Kota, because, so help me Jake, if you don't I don't think I'll ever be able to look at you again for betraying our best friend like that. Your imprint like that," my mouth dropped open, as I started to shake my head. All I needed was to explain to Lakota what happened and she'd understand – it was never an intentional thing, I hadn't planned it. She has to know I don't feel that way for Bella anymore; we were only friends! I open my mouth to say something before Quil butt in, his voice nothing above a whisper as he stared at the ground.

"If she even is his imprint," he mumbles quietly, making my eyes widen while I sneered.

"Of course she's my imprint," Quil snorts, crossing his arms.

"So you say," my eyebrows shot up in shock, staring at him blankly, my jaw twitching in annoyance.

"Lakota is the only women I'll ever love," I answer harshly, but he only snorts again, looking actually amused at what I was saying.

"Yeah? Then I suggest you stop messing around and switching between Bella and Lakota and actually act like an imprinter should," he growls angrily, surprising Embry, Bella, Paul, and me. And considering that came from one of my best friends I couldn't ignore it; had I really been treating Lakota that badly? Yes I know kissing Bella or…letting her kiss me, I guess, was not something a boyfriend should do; but I've been treating Lakota like the most precious gem in the entire world. She's my world, my gravity, my best friend; the only girl I've actually come to love. How could everybody be so quick as to say I didn't love her?

Lakota's Point of view:

Well…this definitely put a damper on my birthday; I'm not gonna lie about that. What better day to cheat on your girlfriend than on her birthday? Oh wait…maybe Christmas. Yeah. That would've been a better time – but hey, Jacob never really picked the best times. Honestly, I wasn't really all that pissed. Don't get me wrong; that whore was gonna get something real special from me – as for Jacob I simply couldn't be upset with him.

And not because he's perfect in absolutely every way; please. Jacob's anything but perfect. He's got morning breath, horrible gas, can't win in a burping contest for crap, has absolutely no boundaries, stubborn and stupid, won't take a hint, and don't get me started on his 'ladies' man' fantasy, the dude was still a virgin! Don't be fooled. But the good things about Jacob is that he wouldn't cheat. What was the point? If he wanted someone else, Bella for example, he wouldn't even bother with me. And considering that he's trying to make it up I believe it was an honest mistake on his part. Who knows? Maybe I'm being naïve – but I've known him for practically my whole life. And cheating is definitely something he was above doing. Quil…well, that I wouldn't know. And Embry is just too…shy and reserved to mess with girls feelings.

Hell, at first I was pissed off at Jacob, him just letting Bella spit that kind of crap out – but then…I realized something. Why bother with juggling patrols on being a wolf, school work, family and the tribe, and cheating? He's simply too busy to even think about dating another girl while with me. Now – maybe if he was stuck at home bored to death all the time I'd start worrying, but from what I can tell he just doesn't have the time to cheat. Especially with that bitch that lives all the way in Forks.

I smirk to myself, sitting down on the sand at the beach; ah, but what the hell? Who knows? Maybe it'll be fun to watch Jacob grovel…or would that just be mean? I bite my lip, considering that.

Okay…maybe I won't let him grovel a whole lot. But a little bit would suffice. Or, you know what I could do is-

"Lakota?" I look up, a little surprised to see Seth but I smile over at him sweetly, waving a little.

"Oh, hiya Seth, how's it hangin'?" he stared at me for a moment, frowning and shifting uncomfortably before deciding to take a heavy seat beside me, scooting a little closer and watching my face at an uncomfortable personal bubble popping distance. I frown right back at him, leaning my face away.

"Any reason you're all up in my face, kid?" I ask, raising an eyebrow curiously while he sits back again, giving me a look.

"You don't look depressed…" he murmurs to himself, blinking a little, "did you and Jake already get back together? Because if you did I really have to ask him how to do that for when I imprint. You know just in case we get in a fight or something I know I'll probably end up making her even more mad at me…or maybe it'll be a dude. Ugh," Seth cringes a little, not noticing that I was totally lost during his whole ramble, "I hope I don't imprint on a guy. But what if I do? Do think that's possible? I know I'm not gay but what if the spirit warriors think I should be? That would suck, huh? Yeah…" he trails off, looking towards the ocean for a moment before back at me, suddenly going quiet. Ah, damn, my turn to talk. What to say… what to say to a kid that just blurted out a bunch of shit…? Uhm…

"Erm, what?" Oh, smooth.

Seth sighs heavily looking me dead in the eyes, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't uncomfortable as we locked gazes, "I thought girls are supposed to be all depressed when they break up with their boyfriends. Especially imprints. I mean…Sam couldn't stand staying away from Emily long before he had a mental break down. That imprint stuff is strong," I purse my lips as I suck in my cheeks, squinting at him. Imprint? Is that code for bitch or something?

"Seth…" I say slowly, grabbing onto his shoulder and looking at him firmly, "I have no idea what you are talking about," he sniffs, getting this look on his face that I could only assume was his 'thinking face' before nodding.

"So… you really don't know what an imprint is?" I shake my head, sitting back, "oh," he said, frowning, giving me a curious look, "I don't know why not. It's the easiest part!" He grins widely, "just relax and I'll tell you aaaaall about it," he smiles.

Tis short…but at least it's a chapter O-o
