Chapter Twenty-one - Mr Imprint Guy

BPOV

Its been a month since the meeting with the Cullen's. Not much has happened, no vampires at least. Paul and I have become closer if that is even possible. I spent most of my time with Paul, I practically live at his house now! Seriously, I have my own clothes and everything in his wardrobe , not like I wear my clothes anyway. I prefer to lounge around in his. I'm dreading the day when his mum decides to come back and catches me and Paul doing something that I doubt she wants to see.

Sam had been researching imprinting to find out about why Edward cant read my mind and now Paul's. He say it has got to have something to do with the imprinting but so far he hasn't come up with anything.

Jacob had finally gotten over the big brother stage and was not threatening to kill Paul at every chance he got. Quil and Embry were been there normal goofy selves and as for the rest of the pack, I see them as my family.

Leah was by best friend out of everyone in the pack I am closest to her, well except Paul of coarse. She had been a lot more friendly around the pack now and her and Seth have become really close. Just how brothers and sisters are meant to be.

"I have got to have these shoes!" Leah yelled. We are currently shopping the mall again. According to Leah we need more 'girl time'.

"Leah there is no need to shout I'm stood right next to you!" I laughed at her as she stared mindlessly at the shoes. They were heels, devil red with a small strap across the top.

"There alright" I shrugged. I don't see the big deal about a pair of heels.

"They are not just alright Bella they are the most gorgeous pair of shoes that I have ever seen!" She yelled again. I rolled my eyes at her. She was way over-exaggerating. I picked up the shoe and Leah's eyes followed it. I picked up the tag and nearly chocked on my own spit.

"Leah, these are $500!" I shrieked.

She didn't look touched by this piece of information at all. "So, they are worth it!" Is she kidding me?!

I placed the shoe back on the stand and grabbed hold of Leah's hand. I pulled her out of the shop. "I refuse to let you pay $500 for a pair of shoes!" I yelled at her.

She groaned in response "Yes mother!" I turned to looked at her and she wore a scowl on her face. I burst out laughing. Her face softened and in no time at all we were both laughing hysterically.

"Can we go get some food?" I asked as my stomach rumbled. She laughed and hooked her arm with mine. We walked through the mall and I couldn't help but have a strange feeling that we were been watched.

I turned around and noticed a boy at about 18 years old walking behind us. He didn't look suspicious so I just turned back around but kept my eye out. Leah didn't seem to notice though, so I tried to not let it bother me. We made it to McDonalds and stood in the queue.

"I don't know what to get what are you getting?" She asked me looking at the menu board.

"I might get-" I was cut off my some one budging into Leah. It wasn't just anyone it was the boy that was following us.

"I'm so sorry. I should have been watching where I was going. Are you okay?" He stared at Leah. I could tell that he was really nervous.

I turned to look at Leah expecting her to have a go at him for invading her space but no she was staring right back him with a huge grin on her face.

"I'm fine. I doesn't matter. I'm actually glad you bumped into me" SHE WAS FLIRTING WITH HIM!

The boy looked as if he had just won the lottery. "I'm Tom. what's you name?" He asked and held out his hand. She grabbed it immediately and held on to it.

"Leah" She said slightly breathless. They didn't say anything after that they just stood there staring in to each others eyes whilst holding on to each others hands.

I coughed to get their attention. That didn't work. So I hit Leah on the arm, she snapped out of it straight away. She looked down at her hand and then back at Tom. She blushed and pulled her hand away. LEAH BLUSHED. Wait until I tell Paul!

I decided that I should introduce myself because it was getting a bit awkward. "I'm Bella" I held out my hand and he shook it.

"Nice to meet you both" his eyes never left Leah.

"Ermm can I give you my number ermm maybe we could go on a date or something" It was Toms turn to blush as he stuttered that sentence out.

"Yes!" Leah said eagerly. "I would love to"

They swapped numbers and then Tom said that he had to leave to meet his friends. When Tom had left Leah practically screamed.

"I just imprinted Bella" She sighed happier, clinging on to her phone which now had his number in.

A grin spread across my face. "Leah, I'm so happy for you!" I pulled her into a hug and she giggled. I never thought I'd see the day that Leah Clearwater was this happy!

"We need to go tell the guys!" She said, pulling me away from McDonalds.

"But Leah, what about food?!"

"Leah has news everyone!" Bella yelled and everyone went quiet looking at her wide eyed. I laughed. "Thanks" Bella jumped on to Paul's lap and gave him a gentle kiss. Everyone looked at me waiting for me to speck. Well everyone that is except Paul who was starring at Bella lovingly! Awww I used to find that weird but now I couldn't help but smile. That will be me soon. I felt the excitement boil up inside of but I also felt the dread overwhelm me. What would the guys say?

I looked around at everyone sat in Sam's living room. Here goes nothing.

"Right guys. Like you all know me and Bella went to the mall today" I paused. "I saw the most amazing pair of shoes but Bella wouldn't let me buy-"

Bella cut me off, "Leah this has no relevance at all. But just so you guys know this pair of shoes was $500!" The guys all whistled.

"You was going to pay $500 on a pair of shoes! Girl, your mad" Quil laughed at me. I moved towards him and smacked him across the head.

"My fist will go in your face if you say another word!" I growled at him. Everyone paused and starred at Quil, probably waiting for him to speak. He shut is mouth and leant back in the couch with a smirk on his face.

"Leah tell the guys the real news!" Bella said.

I decided I might as well just blurt it out as soon as possible. " Iimprinted!" I rushed out. Everyone looked at me as if I was crazy, then Quil laughed.

"Leah speak English!" I was going to smack him, but now isn't the time.

I looked down at the floor. "I imprinted" I whispered quietly. The room filled with silence. I didn't dare look up.

"Congratulations Leah!" Paul was the first to speak which shocked me. Bella jumped off his lap and he pulled me into a hug. I knew this is Bella's doing but I didn't care, it stopped the awkward silence.

Eventually the rest of the guys congratulated me and Embry even made a snide comment about how he felt sorry for the guy. Obviously Bella hit him for this.

The only person that had yet to say anything was Quil and I knew he was preparing to take the piss. I looked over at him and he was staring at me intensely. He looked devastated? When I looked into his eyes he seemed to be knocked back to his senses. He just nodded at me and walked out of the room. What is all that about?

Everyone had gone back to what they were doing. I looked back at the door that Quil had exited out of. I sighed and followed. I found him in the kitchen leaning on the counter with his head in his hands. He was unaware of my presence.

"Are you okay Quil?" I spoke gently to him, which was weird. He lifted up his head and looked at me with sad eyes.

"No, Leah. I'm not okay." He spoke softy and quietly. Even with my wolf ears I couldn't hear him well. "Why did you have to imprint Leah?" he sounded so frustrated. What does he mean?

"I don't know Quil. I don't know what you are talking about! Why are you acting like this?" I tried to speak calmly but I could feel my anger boil. What has my imprinting got to do with him?

He moved closer to me so he was towering over me. I could no longer see the joking Quil. This Quil is someone I have never seen before. He looked torn.

"LEAH, JUST TELL ME WHY?" he raised his voice and I could hear everyone go silent in the other room.

"Quil I don't know why I imprinted. It just happens. Okay, I have no control over it. I just saw the guy and felt the need to be with him okay? I didn't suddenly get married, I just imprinted and it has nothing to do with you Quil. I don't know why you are acting like this! My life has got nothing to do with you-" I wasn't able to finish because he cut me off.

"I LOVE YOU LEAH!" Quil roared and when he realised what he said his eyes went wide and his hand shot to his mouth.

The silence was piecing. It was soon broke my Paul who was now stood in the doorway.

"Wow this is better than TV. Someone pass the popcorn!" What an idiot.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP PAUL! BELLA COME AND COLLECT YOU FUCKING BOYFRIEND BEFORE I RIP HIS BALLS OFF" I shouted.

Bella came to the door instantly and grabbed Paul's hand leading him away. She turned and gave me an apologetic smile.

I grabbed Quil by the arm and pulled him outside. We slowly walked down the street.

"I don't get it Quil! You can not be in love with me" I quietly spoke. This must be the most intense conversation that me and Quil have every had. Normally we are always joking with each other up.

"I am Leah. I just love the way you are. The way you laugh and bully me and stick up for yourself. The way you don't take any shit. The only reason I said all those mean insults was to make you notice me."

Wait, were have I heard that before, the dare!

"Are you getting me back for the telephone call a month ago?" I asked him giving a glare.

He shook his head. "No, when you did call me up and to say all those things I thought you were been honest. Until I realised it was just a dare. I was disappointed and devastated when I realised." I suddenly felt bad for every bad thing I had ever done to Quil. I stopped walking and he stopped too.

"I really am sorry for everything that I have put you through" I muttered. I hated apologising.

Quil laughed and said "Did that hurt Leah! Because you looked in serious pain when you said that." Trust Quil to lighten the mood.

"Quil, what you think you feel for me is love, but its not the real thing. If we were meant to be then we would have imprinted on each other."

He sighed and nodded his head to say he understood. "I really wanted to imprint on you. I found myself staring at you hoping that I had just had a delayed reaction."

I smiled at him and said "You know it doesn't work that way. You will find the person you are mean to be with, just like I have. When you do find her she will be a very lucky girl. You will realise that the love that you have for me, is only the love of a friend."

Quil laughed. "I've just made a complete idiot of myself haven't I?"

I laughed along with him. "You have but you always do that. You wouldn't be Quil if you didn't"

"Can I have a hug and forget about this. We can act as we always have done towards each other" I nodded and pulled him into a hug. We stood there holding each other until Quil started to laugh.

"Can I help Seth with the brother speech when we meet this imprint guy?" He pulled away and looked at me with a grin on his face. "We both know that Seth couldn't be intimidating to save his life!"

I laughed. "Yep, play big brother. But if you scare him away, I'll tell your imprint about the time I made you scream like a girl" I started to walk on to the beach.

"Wait Leah! Which time?" he asked catching up with me.

"Oh thanks for reminding me. I forgot it happened more than once. I will just have to tell her about every time. Think I best make a list so I can remember them all" I smiled and he smirked too.

"Okay but your Mr Imprint Guy is going to find out about the time you ate worms!" he laughed back at me. I tapped my chin.

"If I remember rightly that was you. Thanks for another thing to add to my list"

He didn't respond. I turned to look at him and he was shaking visibly and staring at the trees my the beach. I followed his gaze and there they stood, two vampires.

One was a woman and she fitted Bella's description of the leech she saw. She had long red hair and bright red eyes.

This time however she was with a man. He was tall like her and had blonde hair. He also had red eyes. They were both watching us and smiling.

"Leah go and get the others! I'll hold them off!" Quil said not taking his eyes off them. I didn't argue, I knew we didn't have much time. I jumped into action and in no time I was in Sam's living room.

"Vampires at the beach. Come on Quil is holding them off!" Everyone ran out of the house. Everyone that is except Paul.

I was at the door when I turned around and noticed him still sat on the couch. Bella was stood up in front of him She looked confused, so was I.

"Come on Paul we have no time to lose!" I yelled at him.

"I'm not going" He said and looked at Bella. We all stayed silent. He didn't want to leave and hurt Bella like last time.

"Go, Paul" Bella barely whispered but we both heard her. "I want you to go. You're a wolf this is what you are meant to do." He stood up and pulled her close to him. I felt as if I was intruding on a private moment but I didn't care.

"Are you sure?" He asked softly whilst stroking her cheek. It so weird seeing a sweet and caring Paul, I cant believe how much more calmer Bella makes him. If he had not met Bella and I had just run in shouting Vampire he would have been the first one out there tearing them apart. But now here, with Bella, it seems like he doesn't even care about doing that. He just wants to make Bella happy. I would never say this out loud but I am jealous of Bella. She has some one who would give her the world if she asked. She deserves him as well. She is the most caring person I know. They go together. I just hope that someday myself and Tom will be like that.

"Yes I'm sure. Go kick some vampire ass!" She giggled. He chuckled to and bent down to kiss her. I looked away not wanting to impose any longer.

"I love you Paul" She whispered and I could tell that she meant it with all her heart.

"I love you too beautiful. I'll be back soon" He gave her one last kiss and followed me out of the door.
