Jacob's Point of View
I gotta tell you Jake, she's a little crazy.
If this was Paul's way of trying to make me feel better, he was doing one hell of a job.
Oh c'mon Jake, she'll be fine. Nadia, Em, and Kim will take care of her.
I sighed. I hate leaving her alone, though, I thought back. And lying to her. What if that thing found her?! Then what would happen? I would never be able to live with myself, Paul! I have to turn around man…I just have to!
Sam's command penetrated my mind. Jacob, you can't go back. You have to do your duty here. She'll be safe.
Even my undying need to keep her safe couldn't go against Sam's orders. Whatever.
Seth rolled his eyes. What happened? I remember when nothing could get between you and a vampire fight.
Shut up, I growled. In less than minutes, we reached the bloodsuckers. There were five, their red eyes glinted evilly in the moonlight. I didn't feel threatened. I'd dealt with stupid vampires before. Sam thought out commands, and I thrust myself at the closest one. I couldn't wait to get this over with. I tore through the stony skin with my teeth and ripped apart the limbs with a hatred that burned deep in my veins, blaming them for making me leave Jamie. Blaming them for making her mad at me. In a matter of minutes I had a pile of glowing, ivory granite in front of me. Some fight, I thought to myself. I looked around and saw that most of the other vampires had reached the same fate.
Piece of cake. This is hardly any fun anymore, Collin thought lazily. I agreed. It was like the vamps weren't even trying now. I noticed that Sam had phased back to a human and lit the pile on fire. He finally finished and changed into a wolf.
Move out, he barked. I followed right behind him, taking my place as beta.
Wait, Jacob. I was surprised when I heard Leah address me. Take a walk with me.
What Leah? I was impatient to see Jamie. I didn't feel like dealing with Leah's bad attitude right now.
Leah ignored my thoughts. You know she's going to be pissed at you, right?
I snarled. Thank you for pointing out the obvious.
Do you know what you're going to say to her?
I didn't answer.
Of course you wouldn't. She sighed. Boys are so clueless.
Oh yeah? What's your brilliant plan to fix this mess? Don't you know that this could have ruined everything for us?
I highly doubt that, she laughed acrimoniously, thinking of Sam and Emily and opening up three years of heartbreak. I winced, remembering when my life had been in a situation very much like hers. I knew she was jealous of me...of the fact that I had imprinted and she hadn't. That she was all alone now. Give her some time cool off... no matter how much you want to be with her. Don't throw a big fuss when she refuses to let you drive her home.
Why not? I asked sullenly.
Because, she said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, even though she doesn't act like it… or consciously recognize it… it'll bother her that you won't pay attention to her. Don't forget that the effect of the imprint is a two-way street. Then tomorrow go to her house and take it from there.
Wow, I'm impressed. When did you become the expert on relationships?
When do you think Jacob? She retorted bitterly. I tried to avert my thoughts from her and Sam's relationship. Luckily we had finally made it to the house.
Thanks Leah, I thought right before I phased back.
"Don't mention it Jacob," she gave me a rare smile. She was already dressed. I smiled at her in wolf form before I changed. I slipped behind some shrubbery and slipped on my shorts. I loped towards the house, pausing before I opened the door to take a deep breath of courage. The pack was already there, of course, and their presence made it a lot harder to find her. I panicked. Where is she? I scanned the broad, open room. Just then, I caught sight of her. She was standing in a corner, distancing herself from the people in the room and...and she was glowering at me. Her blue eyes chilled me in an icy, relentless stare, her cheeks were red, and her mouth was set in a hard line. I gulped and moved towards her. I shoved my hands in my pockets and looked at her shoes when I reached her.
"D-do you want me to drive you home?" I murmured quietly, cringing mentally. The room went silent. My eyes swept over the pack's faces, and Leah caught my attention. 'Be cool,' she mouthed. I nodded slightly and straightened.
"What do you think?" Her voice was cold. "I want answers right now Jacob Black. Or so help me I will never talk to you again." I wanted to apologize till I was hoarse. to tell her everything...I shrugged instead. Her eyes narrowed. "You are such an idiot Jacob! Don't you even care about how upset I am?" She was obviously furious. It took all of my strength to keep my face composed. Of course I cared. I cared about her more than anything else in the world...and it hurt me to see her so upset. This was such a bad idea. "Forget about driving me home! Forget about ever driving me home! I don't even want to be in the same room with you right now!" she spat. "You can't even begin to comprehend how pissed off I am at you. You know what? I don't even want to explain! Nadia's driving me home, I've already asked." She paused and looked at me as if waiting for me to object. I swallowed my words painfully.
"That's great," I forced myself to smile, "Thanks Nadia." Nadia looked up at me, surprised. For a second, Jamie was taken aback, her mouth wide in shock… before she covered it up with a nasty smirk. She strolled over to Nadia and linked arms with her showily.
"C'mon Nadia, let's go," she sneered at me, not paying attention to Nadia at all. Nadia shrunk back and her eyes darted up to mine nervously. Poor Nadia. She hated situations like this. I bobbed my head at her reassuringly. But, I couldn't stop my fist from clenching in envy as I watched them go out the door arm in arm. My artificial grin was still plastered crudely onto my face. Leah broke the silence with a laugh.
"Nice," she said appreciatively, "I didn't know you had it in you."
"What do you mean?" called Brady. Everyone ignored him. I put my back against the wall and slid down until I reached the floor. My head fell into my hands.
"She hates me," I moaned, shaking my head sorrowfully.
"No she doesn't!" Leah exclaimed. "Didn't you see how annoyed she was that you didn't overreact?"
I didn't want Jamie to be annoyed, I wanted her to be happy… but I didn't tell Leah that. Instead I said, "All I can say Leah is that this better work. This better as hell work."
Please Review!!
