"I'll be back babe." I promised Jake. Ever since I was 13 I've called him babe, it just feels natural. I shut the door behind me.

"Outside." I growled at Paul walking outside and leaning against a tree. I glared at Paul as he stood in front of me. "What's your fucking problem Paul? I've loved Jake since I was 7, I've been in love with him since I was 13, I imprinted on him last night. Can't you at least understand how much he means to me?" I said to him biting my lip, biting my anger down.

"I promised I'd never tell you, but I have to." Paul sighed and it was strange seeing this rather vulnerable side to paul.

"Tell me what Paul?" I was confused to say the least.

"I love you. I was only boning your sister to make you jealous..." Paul started and I saw red. I lunged forward and punched him hard in his face.

"Never talk about my sister like that again." I growled, pissed off at him.

"You know what Paul? You're a complete Jerk, you always think with your fucking dick, you sort your problems out with your fist, you make me so fucking angry all the time and now you're telling me you love me and I should be with you and not my imprint? That's fucking rich coming from you Paul, you shagged Leah after Sam imprinted, she was drunk and you took advantage of her. You can go screwing all of fucking La Push and it's fine, but I can't imprint on the boy I've loved for years. Is that right? You make me sick Paul with all your bullshit." I yelled at him puching him yet again breaking his nose this time. I walked away into the forest to calm down before going to see Jake again. I couldn't let him see this side of me, this angry version of who I am. I heard someone running towards me and I phased on the fly, of course I ended up ripping my clothes. Paul always pissed me off, why Sam always had me running patrol with him I'll never know. I felt someone phase invading my silence.

Wow Belle, you really gave it to Paul didn't you? Jared's voice came through the silence.

Yeah, well the dick deserved it. No-one and I mean no-one gets away with using any of my sisters like that. I huffed replaying it all again. I quite liked Jared, he was pretty cool and he could calm me down, only because he understood about imprints and being a new wolf. I hadn't realised, until now that he'd also imprinted on some chick at school, I mean yeah I knew they were together, how could I not? He always gave the guys re-runs of his time with Kim, disturbing really.

Belle, I heard. I was watching in case I had to jump in. We're in the pack together and as my pack sister, I won't let anything happen to you. Not even dickhead Paul. He's such a fucking prick, I mean it's common knowledge in the pack that he's obsessed with you, but still. He cursed obviously pissed at Paul and Jared never cursed.

Do you kiss Kim with that mouth? I chastised Jared with a joking undertone.

I do so much more to her with my mouth. Jared smirked mentally causing me to groan as he replayed some of the things he does with Kim.

That's disturbing man. I told him simply feeling calmer. He was the pack joker, not as bad as Embry mind, but still bad enough. We were all close in the pack and we all calmed each other down, unless you were called Paul, only Sam could calm that ass down.

Jacob's perceptive. He's noticed Paul's rather annoying obsession with you and told him to back off. It was interesting to watch. I've never seen the Chief Swan's son so angry before and it was scary, he could match you anyday.

That's my Jake.

Belle? What is it like knowing your imprint is still in love with a leech? Sometimes I hated Jared, he always asked the difficult questions, but he was really the only one I could have a proper conversation with. He was my best friend since joining the pack, okay sure I was still best friends with Embry, but this is different.

It's horrible. It was bad before the imprint, before I became a wolf, it's worse now though. I just get this feeling that he might leave if that marble bitch comes back. But I'd let him go, although it would hurt me to do it, I want him to be happy.

You'd ignore your need for him to be near by just so he could be happy? How can you do that? If it was Kim, I couldn't do it.

Jared, you have to remember I loved Jake ever since I was 7 years old, it's all I ever wanted for him.

You're one of a kind Belle.

Sure sure. I thought before phasing out and running to where I kept my spare clothes. I ran to the beach and sat in one of the hidden coves that no-one knew about. Could I give Jake up so he could be with Cullen? Probably not, but I still couldn't make him stay with me if he didn't want to and I wasn't about to share him. It would mean an ugly fight and either way Jake would get hurt. I could kill Cullen and it would shatter him. She could kill me and Jake would be pained. Or the most likely option Jake could get inbetween the two of us and I end up phasing too close like Sam and Emily.
