"I'm only up when you're not down. Don't want to fly while you're still on the ground."- Taylor Swift

I watched Bella walk away to her car, and Jacob came back into the house. I smirked when I saw him.

"Hey baby," I said, beckoning him to me.

He looked at me softly and started blushing. "Hi."
"You wanna get outta here?" I mused, getting up.

He shrugged. "Sure."
"Alright." I looked at Embry and Jared. "See you later."
"Have fun," Embry teased.

I rolled my eyes, put my arm around Jacob, and led him out the door.

"So," I mused as we walked down the gravel road. "Are you ready yet?"

He stopped. "Not for sex. Definitely not."

"I know baby." I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his neck. "Not yet."

"Paul," he whispered in a moan. "Paul, no."
I smirked against his warm skin and bit it softly. He moaned again.

"What was that?" I whispered.

"No-nothing," he gasped.

"That's what I thought."
My lips traveled up to his lips. I ran my fingers up and down his spine, making him shiver. He actually seemed like he was enjoying it.

He started running his fingers through my hair, and that made me crazier. I kissed him harder and faster, and he played along. He tugged at my hair with more force.

"Paul," he whispered against my lips.

"Hmm?" I asked.

"Let's go to either of our places. I don't wanna be out here. Plus I wanna talk."

"Okay baby." I gave him one more, long kiss. "Let's go."
We walked back to my house, and I took him up to my room. I sat down on my bed, but he just stood there. I patted on my bed, and he sat down.

"So what do you wanna talk about?" I asked.

"Just stuff," he whispered. "Like, what are we gonna do about this?"

"It's simple," I said. "You can decide to either be with me or not, but I'll always be here waiting for you. You're my imprint, and I'm here for you."
"I don't know," he said. "I don't know anything anymore. I thought I liked girls, but you." He sighed. "And you make me feel good. But I love Bella."

I sighed. Nothing made me angrier than when Jacob mentioned the leech-lover. I couldn't stand it. I tried to control my anger, but Jacob could see it in my eyes.

"I know you hate her," he continued. "And I know you call me 'yours', but I need to think about it. I don't want to rush things."
"How is this being rushed?" I asked. "Why can't you understand that she's just using you to fill the void that the leech left?" I stood up. "She's a slut! She doesn't want you! She wants the feeling that fills her void!"
Jacob got up too. "Stop it right now."

"No! You don't understand, and it pisses me off! Why don't you understand that I'm the one here for you, and she's here using you? What don't you understand about that?"

"I love her!" he shouted back.

I pushed him down on the bed and climbed on top of him. "You're mine. And I'm going to prove that to you." I bit him hard so it left a mark. "If that ever goes away, I know you slept with someone else. It won't go away until you have sex. And if I find out you have had sex with anyone else, I will kill them. And I won't care. I tried to give you a chance to make a decision, but you're going to love me." I grabbed his crotch. "This is mine. Everything on your body is mine."
He managed to push me off. "Get off of me! I won't love you Paul! I love Bella, and we are going to be together no matter what you say!"

"You really think so?" I growled. "Do you really think you can hide these feelings I give you?"

His eyes widened. "I can't believe you."

"What don't you believe? Believe you're mine?"
"Why are you doing this to me?" he whispered.

My eyes softened. "I need you Jacob. I need you in my life, and I will make sure it happens. I know you want me and you need me just as much. Do you honestly think Bella will want you just as much as I want you?"

"I don't know." He sat down on my bed and ran a hand through his hair. "Why does this have to be so complicated?"

I sat down next to him. "It doesn't have to be."
"But it is," he sighed. "It's just so damned complicated."

"I know it's hard, Jacob, but I promise I will make you happy. I'm here for you, and I don't believe you understand that Bella won't do that."

"Why can't she?" he asked. "How can you?"
"Jacob, you really don't understand what imprinting is. My entire world revolves around you. You are the only thing holding me here. Without you, I'm nothing."

He looked up at me. "Really?"

"Yes really." I sighed. "And I know I get really angry sometimes, but I need you to know I'm only trying to protect you. I can't let Bella hurt you."
"What makes you so sure she's gonna hurt me?"

"She keeps leading you on Jacob," I explained. "You know as well as I do that if the leech comes back, she'll run straight to him. I'm not going to leave you like that."

"I still need her in my life," he said.

I sighed, trying to let the anger out of my body. "You don't need her. You think you need her, but you really don't. Think about it Jacob. Do you really need her?"

"Even if we're just friends, I do."

I got up. "Well, it's your choice, I guess. I just need you to understand what I'm going through. If only you could understand what imprinting is truly like."
"Won't I imprint?" he asked.

I shook my head. "No, because I imprinted on you first. Since you're my imprint, no one else can take you. It's just not the same."
"Oh," he whispered. "Well then I guess I won't understand."
"Think about how much you love Bella," I explained. "I love you more than you love her by an eternity of numbers could count."
He smiled softly at me. "You're not good at this romantic stuff."

I smirked and rolled my eyes. I knew that Jacob would be in there.

"Well, aren't you a little smart ass?" I teased, climbing on top of him and pinning him under me. "I might have to teach you some manners."

He smirked back at me, leaning up to meet my lips. I happily obliged to his request, letting my lips touch his softly.

"Do you understand yet Jacob?" I whispered against his lips.

"I think so," he whispered back. "But I have to think a lot."
"Okay." I kissed him one last time and got off of him. "Well then you should go home and think. I'll be here, waiting for you."
He stood up too. "Okay. Bye Paul."

I kissed his forehead. "Bye baby."

And he walked out of my room. I hoped his thinking would lead him to realizing that I was for him.
