AN: Thank you all so much for the reviews, for reading or for whatever you did for this story! Lol. Thanks, thanks, thanks and thanks!!! This is my first time writing from Jacob's POV so I am not sure how it is going to go, but I am going to give it a shot. Here goes nothing * takes a deep breath*:
I do not own Twilight or the characters.
Jacob's POV
The next morning I woke up next to a sweating Leah. I wiped beads of sweat from her forehead trying not to wake her up. She stirred a little bit and tighten her grip on me. I looked at our bodies laying next to each other. Leah's long legs were laying on top of mine and one of her arms gripped my side. Her face was snuggled into my neck and I could feel her inhale and exhale. I was afraid to admit that I was starting to have feelings for Leah. Her feisty attitude turned me on and her soft side turned me on as well. I wanted to tell her how I felt, but I could not hurt her. I had an imprint and me being with Leah would be so selfish of me. The imprint was starting to feel a little weaker, but if Nessie came back it could get stronger again.
The only reason I kept snapping at Leah was because I am afraid to hurt her. I could tell by her actions that she had some kind of feelings for me and I was trying to push her away. I didn't want her to get to deep in her feelings and then have her heart crushed again. I was not going to be that man to crush her heart. I felt Leah shift next to me.
" It's hot," she said her eyes were still closed. A smile crept across her face as she slowly opened her eyes. I had never seen Leah Clearwater smile in the morning, oh no I have to break this off before it goes any further. I got out of Leah's grip and stood up.
"Thanks for being there for me Jacob." Leah sat up in the bed. I just wanted to kiss her and love her, but I couldn't. I refused to be like Sam Uley; I should just tell her now.
" Leah I think you should go home," I said studying her facial expression. Her smile faded and now she looked confused.
" You know I can't do that right now Jake. I can't-"
" You can't stay here anymore," I replied sternly. I had to look away from her because I knew that the look on her face would hurt me. I never realized how strongly I felt about Leah until now. I wish I could just get rid of these feelings so she would not get hurt.
"Did I do something? Why the sudden change," she asked getting up and walking towards me.
" Leah just leave ok. Just go," I pointed to the door. I looked up at Leah, her face was not displaying that she was hurt. She looked pissed off.
" I thought you were going to be there for me. As usual I was wrong. Fuck you Jacob Black," Leah stormed out my room. I could hear her gather all of her things in the living room. I stayed in my room until I heard the front door open and then close. I felt like shit for hurting her like that. She was going to get hurt either way though. If I would have let this fling or whatever it was go on, I would have hurt her like Sam did.
I sat on the edge of my bed and buried my head in my hands. I heard my dad come into my bedroom.
" You shouldn't have let her go like that son," my dad said touching my arm.
" I couldn't risk hurting her dad. I would have been selfish if I let this go on. I don't want to be Sam."
" But you did hurt her Jacob. She really needs some one to be there for her right now. You saw how she broke down yesterday, Leah has not done that since the whole Sam thing. Leah is a strong girl, but right now its hard for her to be strong on her own. She needs someone to help her stay strong and you were doing that Jake." My dad was right; most of the time he was. He ruffled my hair and left my room. Damn I had just fucked up.
I decided that I needed to talk to Old Quil about this imprinting thing. I wanted to know why the imprint was getting weaker.
"Long time no see Jake," Quil said from the porch swing.
" Hey Quil, hey Embry." I walked up the old wooden steps and greeted Embry and Quil with our secret handshake.
" So what's up," Quil asked.
" I was coming to see your dad actually and then we need to patrol."
"He is in the kitchen," Quil pointed inside the house. I walked into the house and could smell fish frying from the kitchen. Hmmm, Harry Clearwater's fish fry. I shook thoughts of Leah from my head and walked into the kitchen.
"Well hey there Jake. How is it going?" Old Quil looked up from the frying fish and shook my hand.
" It's going ok sir. Um I came here to ask you something," I sat in a chair at the wooden table.
"Sure. What's on your mind," Old Quil wiped his hands on a near by towel and took a seat next to me.
" Um well you know I imprinted," Old Quil nodded. " She ran off with another guy but she left him for a shape shifter. It is some pack in Wyoming and Nessie is with the Alpha. For some reason the pull is getting weaker, but I know it is still there. I just want to know why the need for her is not as strong anymore."
Old Quil frowned and tapped his chin with his finger. " I never knew this day would come."
"What do you mean," I asked shifting in the chair.
"The day when the pack in Wyoming became known. They actually were a pack here in La Push before they were forced out. It was back when I was a kid that they lived right here in La Push, I remember a buddy of mine was part of it."
" So why did they move away and are they Quileute?"
" They left because the Quileute pack forced them out. They are actually of Cherokee decent. They moved here from Oklahoma because they found out we had a pack here and they wanted to come together as one. It did not work out that way though, they were lethal. One of them killed a human which is why they were forced out. Now if Nessie is with the Alpha and the pull for her is getting weaker, well that means he imprinted on her," Old Quil took a sip from a tea cup on the table.
" Wait, I thought only one shape-shifter could imprint on someone." I frowned and scratched my head. All this legend stuff was making my head hurt.
" Since it is a different tribe that can happen. The reason the imprint is fading from you is because she accepted to be his lover. It all is very complicated and no one can really explain why it is that way. I never expected it to happen to one of you. Just know that sooner or later the pull will disappear."
" Wow that's …I really don't know what to say."
" I'm sorry it works like that son, its all very complicating. " Old Quil spoke.
"Thanks for your help," I got up from the chair and shook Old Quil's hand.
"No problem son."
I walked out of the house feeling the slight pull towards Nessie again. I didn't want the imprint to break, I actually started to fall for her. But I was also falling for Leah, and something told me she was falling for me too.
" Dude you ok," Embry asked shaking me from my thoughts.
"Um yea. Let's go on patrol. Just want to make sure newborns still aren't lurking around." I went behind a tree to strip off my clothes. I phased and took lead towards the woods. I wonder where Leah is and how she is?
" What's up with you and Clearwater," Quil thought.
" Um nothing. Why?"
"Jake you can not hide things from us. We are your best friends and we know you Jake. We can tell by the way you look at Leah that you like her. Can't fool us." Embry thought back.
" Ok I like her, but I don't want her to find this out. So if it slips from either of you I will kick your asses."
" Why don't you want her to know? She acts like she likes you too. Just tell her how you feel man." Quil thought.
" I don't know if I can now, I kind of pushed her away. Now I feel dumb as hell because now my imprint is going to break soon. At first I didn't want to be with Leah because I didn't want to hurt her. Now I just stuck my own foot up my ass."
"Well take it out your ass and talk to her. I am sure she will bite your head off, but at least you can say you tried." Embry let an image of Leah kicking my ass go through his mind.
" First of all Leah is not going to kick my ass, I won't let her. Second of all Leah is not going to listen."
" Jake just try. Usually I would say screw it because Leah is crazy. But I see you really like her and I want to see my best bud happy," Quil thought.
"Alright I will try." I looked up and ahead of me and saw a grey wolf. Damn Leah heard everything we just talked about.
So there is the next chapter for you all, sorry it is so short. Hope you liked it. Like I said before, that was my first time writing in Jake's POV. I tried my best and I hope it didn't suck too bad. Next chapter I am going back to Leah's POV. Reviews inspire me. Thanks! :)
