A/N: I'd like to give a big big big thank you to CasperGirl523, karenisafreak, Puckabrina Alee, shelbron, PerfectTwo, Lexi Blaze, ocmk, and PinkVeeBerry for reviewing. You make my day. :)

I had a very hard time writing this chapter, it just didn't come to me like some of the others but I knew I had to write it because the next chapter I have stuck in my head and I can't wait to get it out. This is more of a filler. But I hope you guys enjoy.

The walk to the beach wasn't a long one from my house, just around ten minutes and I was silently happy it wasn't raining. The whole way there Jacob had his arm wrapped around my shoulders and lightly playing with the end of one of my curls. Surprisingly, they were both quiet and didn't say anything, which I was fine with personally. The silence was welcoming and it gave me a chance to think over the whole imprint thing.

Fun fun. I had believed Jacob what he said about the imprint not making him love me. Well, I don't know if believe is the right word, I kind of just accepted it. I couldn't let wolf boy get too close.

If Sam knew he imprinted on me then the rest of the packs must know too. Great, not something I was happy with. Were they all expecting me to be with Jacob?

Part of me wanted to say fuck them all and ignore Jacob all together and see if Quil was serious.

Yeah, easier said than done. After five minutes I had literally started to get a headache and decided to move onto Leah. I had her little of her and most of it wasn't good. But I had heard she and Sam were together before he left her for Emily. Remind me to thank the whole imprinting thing again.

It wasn't fair for me to judge the situation, but I couldn't help myself. Life's not fair. I wanted to know as much of Sam as I could but he was holding back on me. Karma was a bitch.

The trees had started to thin and I could see the beach coming into view. Right as we reached the edge Jacob's arm dropped from me and I felt the cold chase at my skin where it was. I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow and he furrowed his forehead in response. I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hand with mine holding on tightly to it.

I really did want to hold his hand but I convinced myself it was just to show him Sam didn't scare me. Hopefully that's what he thought.

"Awh, Jay. Don't I get to hold your hand too?" Quil asked and I looked just in time to see Jacob's small smirk when he asked.

Still holding on to Jacob's hand as we walked I leaned a little to the side and whispered, "Maybe on the walk back."

I heard Jacob huff and Quil laugh. We walked up to the beach and closer to the bon fire and I felt the anticipation in my stomach as lame as I sound. I hadn't hung out with more than just Seth, Jake, Quil, and Embry and was excited to see everyone else.

"Jay!" Emily squeaked pulling me into a hug and I smiled and awkwardly patted her back with one hand while my other was still in Jacob's. To my surprise he was the one holding on tighter now.

"Emily, as much as I don't like her it's still rude to choke the guest," Paul said walking up next to her grinning ear to ear. What had him so happy?

"Paul, you're just jealous." I said poking him in the stomach.

He cocked an eyebrow, "And why would that be?"

"Because I am a woman and we hold all the power," I smarted and heard Emily chuckling when another laugh joined in. I turned around letting go of Jacob's hand to what had to be Leah walking up to us. She was tall, but shorter than the other wolves and a lot leaner. She was beautiful in the exotic way and instantly made me wish I looked like her. Stupid werewolves, I'm tired of them all looking good and signaling me out.

"She's right," She pointed out looking at Paul above my head looking at me for a split second before she deemed I was of no interest.

Paul rolled his eyes and put me in a chokehold. I reached around and pulled down on his ear till he let me go yelping lightly. He glared at me and I blew him a mock kiss. He shook his head and I could tell he was hiding a little smile as he walked away. Jacob grabbed my hand and turned me back to Leah. "Jaelyn, Leah. Leah this is Jaelyn."

She looked at me and had a look on her face like she smelled something bad and walked over to the rest of the guys. I heard Jacob growl lightly and Quil huff.

"Well HELLO to you to Leah." I said at her retreating frame before I could think twice. All talking that was going on before I blurted my big mouth ceased and everyone turned to look at us, Paul with a giant smirk on his face. I heard Quil mutter something I couldn't understand and noticed Sam pull away from Emily.

Leah finally turned around and faced me her hands the only thing shaking at her sides. "Excuse me?"

I knew I should be nice to her if I wanted to learn anything about Sam or even be friends with her but I didn't like when people treated me like crap when they didn't know me. My pride was too big for that. "I said hello," I stated and I saw the anger flash in her eyes for a second before she looked me up and down again.

She laughed, and this time it didn't sound like it was at my expense. "You might be okay."

Leah turned her back to me again and started walking away. "Yeah, you might be too," I called after her, refusing to not play her game. I heard her chuckle again and walk over to the other side of the fire effectively putting distance between us. At first I thought she was just trying to get away from me but that's when I realized she was on the opposite side of the fire as Sam and Emily. I looked up and Jacob and just shrugged. He shook his head at me and tried pulling me over to the fire but I pulled away.

"I'm going to see if Emily needs help." I said and he nodded his head. He walked up towards Seth and punched him in the arm. I turned to Quil and whispered as low as I could so only he could hear, "Save me a seat next to Leah."

He laughed and shook his head. "You're looking for a death sentence."

"As long as it gets me away from you," I retorted and he took a step back putting a hand over his heart.

"Ouch Jaelyn, that hurt."

"Jay, Quil."

"Jacob calls you Jaelyn."

"He has more muscles," I said crossing my arms and I knew Jacob heard that one because his roar of laughter was all I could hear for ten seconds. Quil shook his head and walked over to Jacob and tackled him to the ground. I rolled my eyes and walked over to Sam and Emily.

"Hey," Sam said smiling a little.

"Hey," I replied copying his smile.

"We're just waiting for the elders to come. Billy, Jake's dad is usually the one who tells the legends. It'll be your first time hearing them in a true Quileute setting," He said grinning hugely.

"Jacob's dad is going to be here?" I asked completely side tracked. I heard Emily laugh softly and Sam rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, and don't worry. He'll love you. He won't hate his son's imprint." He said bitterly.

Emily elbowed him. I bit back my tongue; I didn't want to get in an argument with Sam, let alone here.

"Do you need any help Emily?" I asked clearly avoiding the conversation and she shook her head handing Sam a giant plate of meat to cook on the grill. "All that's left is the meat that needs to be cooked. I already made Kim, you and me plates with the cold food. Sue usually brings enough food to feed the elders and the guys." She laughed.

"Sue?" I asked. "Is that Leah and Seth's mom?"

"Yup."

"Does she hate me 'cuz that's how she is or does she hate me even more because I'm Sam's sister?" I asked, knowing I didn't have to mention who.

"Because you're my sister," Sam said coming up behind me grabbing another plate of meat from Emily. "You guys go to the fire and have fun. I'll grab you when the food's done," He added wrapping an arm around Emily and kissing her on the forehead.

I took that as my queue to leave, love makes me sick.

But what's Jacob? A question I definitely did not want to think about right now, that's what.

"COLLIN!" I yelled running over to Collin and jumping onto him. He laughed and caught me with ease spinning me around despite he was a couple years younger than me.

He walked a few steps closer to the fire and swung like he was going to throw me in. "If you throw me in wolf boy I will drag you in. You're the youngest; I don't think you'll be missed as much as me."

"Well we can find out," he said raising an eyebrow shifting me in his arms like he actually would.

"Try it," I hissed jokingly staring him in the eyes He laughed shaking his head and set me down.

"I don't want Jake to come after me; I wouldn't want to hurt your boyfriend." He said winking.

"Uhh…," was all I could say while I looked over at Jake. He was watching me to see what I would say and I felt the pressure descending on me like a pack of wolves.

Okay, that one was lame.

I looked back at Collin and seemed to realize what he said and he started babbling something about one of the legends rather loudly so everyone in the pack heard him.

I sighed and walked over to Jake who was conveniently sitting on the same log as Leah. I smirked inwardly and sat next to her patting the spot next to me for him to sit.

He gave me a pointed look before he caved and scooted down next to me grabbing my hand with his. I practically heard Leah roll her eyes.

Quil was right, she was a bitch. I looked at Jacob and smiled at him before he leaned down in my ear and asked very lightly, "What the hell are you doing Jay?"

I just shook my head refusing to answer and he cocked an eyebrow a smile playing on his lips. I was extremely tempted to lean up and kiss them, but I doubt that would go over well with Sam here.

As soon as Jared and Kim arrived the food was done and we quickly grabbed our plates before the guys trampled through. A couple minutes later the elders arrived, and who I could guess as Sue pushed Jacob's dad's wheelchair through the sand.

Jacob grabbed my hand and pulled me over to where he was and I tried digging the heels of my feet in the sand to no success. I heard Embry laugh at me and the only thing that kept me from flipping him off was all the elders.

"Hey Dad," Jacob said smiling and the happiness in Jacob's voice made me smile.

"Hey son." He asked and looked at me, waiting for me to introduce myself. Jacob looked a little like his father, but Billy's eyes were beyond his years and gave me the chills looking into them.

"Hey Billy," I said sticking out my hand and he smiled at me and it was genuine grabbing my hand and firmly shaking it back.

"Hey Jaelyn, I've already heard a lot about you," He laughed winking at me and I heard Jacob groan.

"Well I hope it was all good stuff," I smiled and he nodded.

"Nothing else," He said and I felt a light feeling in my stomach knowing Jacob talked about me. "Did he ask you over for supper next Tuesday yet?"

"Dad, I was getting there," Jacob groaned and a laugh I had been trying to hold escaped my lips.

I think I laughed more this past month then I have in my entire life.

XXXXXXX

"Ouch," I muttered as Jacob caught me for the second time walking me back home in the woods. I had scraped the side of my leg against a rock.

"Are you sure you can walk?" He asked me standing in front of me.

"Mhm hmm," I breathed nodding my head before I let out a giant yawn. The bonfire had ended a couple hours earlier but Jacob and I stayed by the fire with Quil, Embry, and Brady and Jacob deemed it time to go home once I started nodding off besides him.

Hearing Billy tell the old legends was something I definitely would not forget. The way he told him made me feel the magic of the past, I have never been more sobered in my life.

"I don't believe you," Jacob accused and before I had a chance to protest he swooped me up in his arms.

"Jacob you brute, but me down," I said while I sighed and rested my head against his chest.

He laughed and moved through the woods with grace, never tripping. "You're going to have to make a better case than that."

I nodded against his chest, "If you put me down I'll kiss you." I tried not to snicker as I felt the little jolt of Jacob missing his step.

"You're half asleep, you don't know what you're saying," he muttered almost sadly as he kept walking.

"Jacob," I whined, not one of my better traits. "Put me down so I can kiss you." Within a second my feet hit the ground and Jacob wrapped his arms around me to help steady me. I put both of my hands on his chest over his t shirt and looked up at him.

"I do believe you said you needed to kiss me," he said biting his lip holding a smile.

I rolled my eyes. "That is not what I said," I muttered before I wrapped my arms around his neck and stood on my tip toes and kissed him.

His arms wrapped tighter around me and pulled me against his warm body. A couple moments later he pulled away and I caught my breath, pouting. Chuckling he pulled me back up into his arms and finished walking the rest of the way to my house.

"Jacob." I said huffing.

"You never said I couldn't pick you back up," He pointed out.

"Smart ass," I muttered and heard him laugh some more.

"Oh Jaelyn, you know you love being in my arms."

"I wonder how Quil's arms feel," I teased drifting off against him.

The last thing I heard was his growl.

A/N: I'll keep this a/n short and just get straight to the point. ;) Reviews? Pretty pleeease?
