A/N: Like I said, I didn't post on time, so I'm making up for it now. Here's chapter five, complete with Leana drama and Jennifer fluff.

Chapter Five

(CPOV)

I woke up later that night and went downstairs, everyone else was in bed so I got some leftovers out of the fridge and ate. I was surprised there were leftovers, but I guessed mom had saved me some. After I finished eating, I went out to check on Matt and Brady who were on patrol. Nothing was happening, so I went back to my room and crashed out again.

Mom woke me up the next morning for school. I got ready quickly and ran out the door. I thought I beat Charlie this morning because of how quickly I got ready, but when I got outside, she was waiting in the car. Geez, how does she do that? I got in shaking my head and Charlie laughed.

"What's the matter? Wish you could be as quick as me?" She teased. I groaned and waited for Austin. He finally dragged himself out of the house and we took off for school. We arrived at school a few minutes later. We went and sat under the shelters. My eyes darted around the parking lot, waiting for Leana.

I saw her pull into the school parking lot and my heart began to flutter. This was it, the moment of truth. She parked and stepped out of her car with Stephanie following. She looked great again today. Taking full advantage of the rare sunny days in La Push she was wearing a Carolina blue skirt with a longer black one underneath, a black strapless top with a red trim and her favorite black and white tie, and a pair of black ballet flats. Her curly hair was down around her face. (A/N: Picture on profile of Leana and her outfits.)

She started walking towards school with her face down, she looked sad. I knew I was the reason and I felt terrible for it. So I called her name. I had missed her too long not to see her smile. "Leana!"

Her head shot up and we locked eyes. I felt nothing for this girl I loved so truly once before. She smiled and ran towards me. She wrapped her arms around me and squealed with delight. I wished I had imprinted on her, but I didn't so this day was going to go terribly. I felt a tug at my heartstrings and I looked around, I saw Jennifer standing by the door to the school staring at Leana and me. I had never noticed how beautiful she was before now. She was tall, 5'9", but that was nothing on me. She had long black hair past her breasts and a trim body. She was wearing simple jeans and t-shirt today but I could barely take my eyes off of here. I nodded her way and smiled. She smiled back and went inside.

I pulled away from Leana and she suddenly looked worried. "Are you okay, Cody?" She asked. I decided to do this as quickly as possible. I shook my head and said, "No, we can't be together anymore."

Her eyes filled with tears and she recoiled from my grasp. My heart was breaking for her, but I could literally hear hers breaking in her chest. Piece by piece, and it was all my fault. She shook her head and said, "What? Is it because of Kevin? I told you he's no one."

This was killing me, this girl used to be my angel, now imprinting made me not care for her at all. I hadn't even had a chance to break up with her before I imprinted. If I had, I would have still cared for Leana and I could've broken this off and nice as possible. But I had imprinted and the only person who matters was my imprint, and Leana wasn't my imprint.

I hated myself for doing this to her, but I had to. I nodded and said, "I don't know if I can trust you anymore." That was a lie. I trusted Leana completely but she didn't matter to me anymore. She looked like I had slapped her and then she said, "I have never done anything to make you doubt me, how can you say that? I have never lied to you, you know you can trust me."

I shook my head and turned away before I said my final words to her, "No, Leana. I don't know that. I don't love you anymore." She turned and ran away from me back to her car and she left school. I felt like shit for doing that to her, but if I had stayed with her, it would only be worse. I could only love my imprint, and every second I spent away from her killed me. I could never be as happy with Leana again as I was before. Imprinting changed that.

I turned back to see my sister and brother staring at me, angry and shocked. I sat down as Charlie started on me. "What the hell was that, you asshole? Just because you didn't imprint on her doesn't mean you'll imprint anytime soon. You could have stayed with her. Why did you have to be so mean?"

I sighed. "Charlie, I had to. Do you remember what dad told us about Sam and Leah?" I asked.

She nodded and said, "Yeah Sam was with Leah but then he imprinted on Emily. So what?"

I looked at her and said, "That just happened to me."

Charlie looked confused. "What are you talking about?" She asked angrily.

"Last night I was running home when Sam J phased and told me to go to Paul's house because Nick was starting to phase and I needed to help him. Well, when I got there I kinda bumped into Jennifer and I imprinted on her. That's why I had to be so mean to Leana."

Charlie sucked in a breath and then said, "You imprinted on Jennifer? Oh my god. This is so cool." She was bouncing so hard with excitement I thought she would fall off the bench.

Across the table from me Austin started laughing. "What did Paul say when he found out you imprinted on Jennifer?"

Charlie looked at me and said, "Oh my god, did he freak out? I bet it was funny. Why couldn't I have been there? Austin, I want to be there when you imprint, I wanna know what it looks like."

Man, this girl has got to take a pill. "He did freak. I imagine it was funny to an innocent bystander, you'll have to ask Ana, she was there when it happened."

Charlie squealed and Austin laughed again. The bell rung and we went off to class. I didn't see Jennifer until lunchtime, which thankfully arrived quickly, I still felt bad for what I did to Leana but I couldn't control it. It's not like I chose to imprint on Jennifer. I sat down at the table across from Austin. Jennifer sat down next to me and I smiled broadly. She smiled back and my heart fluttered. I had known this girl all my life and never had I thought I could have such feelings for her. Everyone else sat down and asked where Leana, Nick and Matt were. I decided to tell the entire story.

"Well, last night I was on patrol when Sam J called me and told me to go to Nick's house because he was starting to phase and he was going to Matt's because Matt was phasing at the same time. So when I got there I was going up the stairs and I bumped into Jennifer, and I imprinted on her. Then Paul was mad so I went to help Matt and Sam J went to Nick's. So, they both phased last night and I became Alpha by accident and I broke up with Leana this morning."

When I stopped, their mouths all dropped open. Zack Call was the first to speak up. Leave it to Embry's son to break the tension.

"Hold on, Nick and Matt phased before me? And you're Alpha, and you imprinted and broke up with Leana in less than 24 hours?"

I nodded and everyone laughed. Jennifer laughed quietly beside me and placed her hand on my wrist. Lunch went by quickly after that, with Harry Kennedy asking me questions of what it felt like being Alpha. The rest of the day passed and I got in my car quickly. Charlie, of course was already in the backseat with Jared's daughter Lacey. I had to give her a ride home since she was staying with us until Matt was safe to be around.

Charlie was tapping her nails against the window singing a song about Austin. "Oh, when, oh when, my big brother gets in the car, I swear I will, swear I will hurt his big dumb head." She finished as Austin opened the passenger door. He had just shut it when Charlie started in on him. "Geez, Austin could you move any slower. I thought I was gonna have to send Cody in to find you."

Austin laughed, "How exactly would Cody find me, Charlotte?"

Charlie scowled; she hated being called her first name. She replied with, "I would just tell him to follow the smell of cottage cheese, grass and pickled juice, and voila, there you are!" She flicked his ear and crossed her arms over her chest.

Austin reached back and pinched her knee. Charlie was about to hit him when I intervened. "ENOUGH. Both of you."

The rest of the ride home was filled with jabs and quips from Charlie and Austin. Lacey looked thoroughly entertained by them. When we got home, Paul and Ana were there with Jennifer, and Jared and Kim. Charlie spotted Ana and her eyes lit up. She bounced right over to her and plopped down on the couch next to her.

Then she said in a cheerful voice, "So, Ana. Tell me how funny it was last night when Cody imprinted on Jennifer and Paul freaked out."

Ana laughed and told Charlie her side of the story. Which made Charlie, Austin, Jared, Kim, and mom laugh. Jennifer was holding in her laughter, while Paul looked at me like he wanted to kill me. I just sat there wishing I could be alone with Jennifer and not with all these people around.

I stood up and held out my hand to Jennifer. "Will you, uh, go for a walk with myself and you?" I knew what I had jut said made me sound like a complete idiot and I wanted to slap myself. Jennifer just giggled and nodded. She took my hand and stood up, and I saw Paul glaring at me. I froze under his icy glare and he smirked. "I know if you hurt her, it will hurt you. But, if you do hurt her, I will kill you." He said.

I nodded and walked out the door with Jennifer right behind me. I took her hand and we walked along the edge of the woods. I looked at her and said, "So I guess I don't have to tell you anything about werewolves and imprinting."

She shook her head and said, "Nope, I know all about it." She leaned her forehead against my bicep and sighed contently. I told her about patrolling and she told me about her basketball practice. We had been outside nearly an hour when we passed by Leah and Brian's house. I heard a scream from inside. Ally.

A/N: Next chapter, Ally phases and part one of Cody and Jennifer's date. In case you didn't figure it out, the character Ally is named after my "muse" AllytheVampChick.

Also, I borrowed her OC, Ana from her story "Perturbing Ambiguity" as Paul's imprint. I know in Breaking Dawn, Paul imprints on Rachel, but I hate her, so I used Ana instead. By they way, go read "Perturbing Ambiguity" and it's sequel "Ardently Love." ~Ever Uley~
