Chapter 5

Why did her life have to be so complicated? Why did she tell him what her name was. Yes she hurt everyday and yes she missed being with her dad, but she had finally been able to deal with the pain. Deal with the fact that Jake and her best friend had been destined to be together. Now! Now she had to start all over and deal with the fact that her imprint hated her so much he fought the imprint. She did find it weird before she found out her secret friend was Paul that the pain in her chest lessened when she talked to him, but she just figured that she had a friend and he distracted her from the pain, but now it makes sense. The pain went away because she was talking to her imprint.

Of course the easiest thing would be to go back to her dad's and try to work on this thing with Paul, but she was so mad and let's face it stubborn that she refused to go back. She started a new life in Jacksonville. Granted it was lonely and she was miserable without Kim, Emily and Sabrina, but it was a life. Her dad begged her to come home every day. Did he know about Paul?

Charlie: Hello?

Bella: Hi Daddy!

Charlie: Bella HI! How are you honey?

Bella: Daddy did you know that Paul imprinted on me? Is that why you keep asking me to come home?

Charlie: I didn't know until after you left and it was not my place to tell you. I have been asking you to come home because I miss you. Not because of Paul. However, it may stop him from coming by every other day and asking how you are. What happened?

Bella: I had been talking to this guy I met in a heartbreak chat room. First it was just talking and then we finally confided in each other about how we came to be in the chat room. I guess he figured out it was me and he confronted me about it. He told me he fought the imprint because he thought it was the worst thing that happened to him, but the day Jake imprinted on Sabrina he decided he didn't want to fight it anymore and now he loves me.

Charlie: So what did you say?

Bella: I told him off and got off line. That was over a week ago and I haven't talked to him since.

Charlie: Well that explains why he and the rest of the reservation has been here every day.

Bella: Has Jake been there?

Charlie: Bella...

Bella: Daddy just because he imprinted on Sabrina doesn't mean I just stopped loving him.

Charlie: Yes Bella Jake has been here. He wanted your cell phone number so he could call you. He has been going through a lot, but I didn't give it to him.

Bella: Is everything ok?

Charlie: I guess Sabrina won't give him the time of day because she feels so bad about what it did to you. He is miserable.

Bella: Is his cell phone number still the same?

Charlie: Now Bells I don't think it is a good idea to get involved here.

Bella: I miss my best friend Daddy. I need to talk to Jake.

Charlie: The number is still the same. Just be careful honey.

Bella: I will. I love you daddy. Thank you

Charlie: I love you too Bells. Please think about coming home. The house is not the same.

Bella: Goodbye Daddy. Talk to you tomorrow.

So Jake and Sabrina weren't together and Paul was her imprint. Could life get anymore fucked up?

She did the only thing she could think of.

Ring...ring

This is Jake you know what to do.

Jake it's Bella. I know we haven't talked forever, but I miss you. Please call me. She left her number and hung up the phone.
