Here's another chapter :) Thanks to all those who review I love hearing for you! I try to pm you back :) Let me know what you think of the chapter! Happy Readings!

Just a warning... there is quiet a bit of cussing in this chapter!


I don't want you to come 'round here no more,
I beg you for mercy.
You don't know how strong my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me.
Cause when you say it's over with her,
I want to believe it's true.
So I let you in, knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you,
Wake up missing you.

When the one you love's in love with someone else,
Don't you know it's torture? I mean it's a living hell.
No matter how I try to convince myself,
This time I won't lose control.
One look in your blue eyes and suddenly
My heart can't tell you no.

~ My Heart Can't Tell you No by Sara Evans.


Walking down the hallway I did my hourly rounds checking on the patients as I quietly opened the door before pulling it back shut. Work was almost over… Thank God! It had been a helluva night. As I finished the round I walked back to the nurses desk slumping in the chair looking to a nurse sitting there she gave me a soft smile, she was an older, motherly type of woman. "Just one more hour." Betty said patting my hand as I nodded leaning my head back looking at the clock. Night shift could kick a woman's booty. I smiled as I saw it was almost 6:20... Come on 7:10!

When my shift ended I shot out of the nurses station moving over to clock out before heading down stairs. I yawned placing a hand over my mouth as I pushed the button at the elevator, leaning back I waited on it to ding. I looked to the side when I felt a sudden chill beside me, I looked at the man standing silently at my side I arched a brow looking at his name badge. I then looked up taking in his appearance I stiffened, he was tall, pretty but extremely pale, he had blonde hair and those honey colored eyes. I took a step away from him deciding that walking down 3 flights of stairs wouldn't be that bad…. The man looked down at me and smiled, for some reason I didn't get that creepy feeling like I did when I had that run in with Edward. He nodded his head and I took off down the steps.

As I walked out into the cool November breeze I shivered a little when the cool air hit my skin, I stopped taking in a deep breath the air in Forks was so different then the air in La Push. I walked over to my car hopping in heading toward my tiny home in La Push. The drive was nice, I had my windows rolled down the wind whipped through my hair undoing the little bun I had it in. I smiled pushing it out of my eyes as I sung along with the song blaring on the radio, my morning ritual to stay awake. Pulling into the drive of my house I rolled up the windows before killing the engine picking up my stuff and stood up. I turned around colliding with a hard burning chest. I jumped back against the car craning my neck to see who it was. Paul stood there his arms crossed in nothing but cut offs and a scowl I arched a brow looking at him as I took off my name badge.

"Who pissed in your dog food?" I asked making to walk by him but his arm reached out grabbing mine as he bent down smelling my hair. He tensed and started to shake. I took a step back as I looked at Paul. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked louder then I wanted too, after all it wasn't even 8 in the morning yet. He looked at me his eyes hard.

"Why the hell do you smell of leech?" I arched a brow, man he was sooo over dramatic! I sighed rolling my eyes as I sighed.

"Well I guess because they let anyone work in the hospital now a days Paul, trust me I'm not going all Bella on you." I said looking down at my keys I walked toward the house finding the house key as I stepped up onto the porch.

"Jacob and Sam will have a fit when they find out your working at the hospital! How long have you worked there Amelia?" Paul asked following me as I stuck the key in the lock, I looked over my shoulder at him turning the door knob.

"Ever since I got here you moron." With that I opened the door and walked inside not caring if he followed or not, I wasn't the happiest person to be around after a long 12 hour shift. I slung my stuff down as I walked over to the fridge grabbing a canned Mountain Dew, popped the top and took a swig. Paul stood there watching me his arms crossed.

"Does Jacob know?" I looked at him trying not to spit my drink out as I chocked. The thought of Jacob caring where I worked or what I did made me laugh. I turned to wash my hands and wipe my mouth.

"It's not of his business where I work or what I do Paul. HE made that very very clear. Don't you remember that?" I asked referring to the fight everyone had witnessed when he drug me back to Emily and Sam's place after the bonfire.


** Flash Back **

"What the hell do you think you are doing Amelia?" Jacob thundered as he slung me into his garage behind the small house he shared with Billy, I tripped over a tool box and went crashing to the ground as I looked up at Jacob arching a brow. That hurt but I wouldn't admit it to him.

"I was dancing." I started to get up off the floor when he rounded on me placing a hand over my arm pulling me up off the floor before putting me on the work bench staring down at me.

"With Paul? Are you trying to make me commit murder?" Jacob asked crossing his arms over his broad chest looking down at me, I returned his glare as I pushed myself up off the work bench.

"I can not make you do anything Jacob, after all you were too busy with little Bella to care what I was doing." I said looking up at him he walked over grabbing my arms giving me a small shake.

"You are my fuckin imprint and I will not having you acting like a bitch in heat!" Jacob thundered his grip hardening on my arms. I stiffened under his fingers.

"Funny how you would mention that… at least I don't lead on you like a damned puppet! You let her lead you around like some love sick puppy." I said not daring to look away from him, I wasn't a weakling no matter what he thought. Jacob smirked moving quickly he pushed me up against the wall of the garage pinning me between his body and the hard wall pulling me up enough to where my eyes were level with his, my feet not touching the floor as he pushed into me.

"Jealousy doesn't look good on you Amelia." Jacob seemed to purr as he leaned in kissing on my neck. I tensed feeling his lips against my neck, I wanted nothing more than to snuggle into him, let him love me… let him make love to me but I refused to let myself fall into the dream I wanted to create. I moved my neck away from him the best I could causing him to growl as he flashed angry eyes at me. "You are my mate Ami, you are suppose to fulfill my every need…"

I laughed a soft laugh as I looked at him. "And you are suppose to love me, care and honor me… which you can't seem to do." I spat back at him. He growled taking a step back as I fell to the ground. He squat down in front of me grabbing a hand full of my hair pulling my head back he glared down into my eyes I felt the tears trying to start but I pushed them back meeting his icy glare head on.

"I will never… I repeat never… care, love, or honor you Amelia. You are not my Bella and you never will be. I love her, and I will be with her one day I will find a way to beat this imprinting bull shit!" As his finished his angry speech I looked at him and smirked before picking up a wrench giving it a hard throw to the one place I knew would bring him to his knees… literally. I smirked in triumph as he fell to the ground holding a hand over his crouch. I leapt up and ran … like a bat out of hell… I knew when he got up he would be beyond pissed, he would be ready to murder me and I was right. As I reached the woods I heard the sound of heavy paw prints on the ground… he was pissed. I ran through the woods trying to dodge the trees as I went. I knew I would be a dead imprint if he got me.

As I neared a clearing I turned around in time to see my rustic colored wolf standing there looking like he was going to kill me. I took a deep breath and looked at him, he took a step closer to me when I felt fur brushing up against my legs I looked over to see Sam and Paul moving to stand in front of me. Paul moving to get in a hunkered down position ready to attack Jacob. Sam stood there his head held up meeting Jacob's eyes. I took a step back I couldn't believe this was happening. Jacob let out a low vicious growl which Paul too easily returned while Sam stood still watching to two. Jacob took a step forward Paul never got up out of his fighting position. Just then I heard another growl as a smaller lighter gray wolf came out of the woods to my left, I looked at it, instantly realizing the wolf was Leah. The look in her eyes was one of humor… and excitement. She took a step toward me baring her teeth and snapping her razor sharp teeth just an inch from the bare skin of my legs. I tried to scramble away from her, but only ended up falling on my ass. Sam had turned around and with lightening speed had Leah pinned down her face in the dirt. I looked up to see Jacob jump at Paul and that was it… all hell had broke loose.

** End Flashback**


I looked up at Paul who moved over to give me a hug. "You're going to be alright Teddy, I promise you. As soon as Jacob stops and realizes you are a million times the woman Bella could ever dream of being. You are imprint, the love of his life… he can't fight that forever." Paul whispered quietly into my ear. I shook my head holding onto his waist as I burst into tears… man I really needed to stop doing that! Paul stood there rocking me back in forth the entire time I cried, he held me and never let me go. He didn't think any less of me as he reached over picking up a clean dish towel and dried my eyes, he didn't make a big deal out of it as he helped me up stairs to the guest room or made me feel like a weaker person as he tucked me in the bed. He just smiled kissed my forehead and said "Jacob knows he is meant for you… why do you think he's fighting it so much?"

I fell asleep feeling safe and protected as Paul looked out my window, cussing quietly under his breath.


I woke up around 2 o'clock, I hated sleeping later that that when I didn't go back to work that night. Getting out of bed I quickly changed out of the scrubs I still had on before heading to the bath room for a nice hot bath. I turned on my ipod as the bath filled with water. I sat in the tub loosing my self in thought as I played with the water.

I remembered the day I told Emily I was moving, it was the morning after my run in with Jacob and Leah. She had pleaded for me to stay, to which I had told her I was no longer a child she had to worry about. I am a grown ass adult who can take care of herself… well with in limits that were beyond my control… I leaned back into the cool tile of the tub as I remembered how beaten up and bruised Paul was the next time I saw him. His face was a mess, the bones in his arm had been crushed in multiple places and there was a huge bandage around his waist and chest… needless to say he had taken the brunt of Jacob's rage. When I saw Paul that day I had broken down. I sat at the table and cried, I was the reason he was so beaten up, I was the reason why everything in this damned 'pack' was screwed up. Leah wouldn't even look at me as she limped in, Sam had taken it easy on her but she still wasn't 100 percent. With in a week I was packed and moved into the house I now call home. It wasn't but a couple miles from Sam and Emily's they wanted me close… neither of them knew I was planning on moving when they went on their honey moon. I couldn't handle being around Jacob any longer. All the things he said to me hurt, every time I saw him I felt like my heart was going to wither away and die and every time I saw him with Bella my heart broke just a little more.

Sinking down further into the water I sighed closing my eyes as I soaked letting the water work on my aching back. This wasn't the love story I had dreamed of as a small girl. As I grew up I knew I didn't want a knight in shining armor but hell this was ridiculous. The man who is suppose to love me above everything and anyone hates me worse than anything and loves Bella more than I could imagine was possible. We wasn't always like this… when Bella wasn't around he had been so sweet and caring to me. He had acted like I was such an important part of life, he pretended to care… he pretended to love me only to drop me like a pancake when Bella came back to town. As the water started to get cold I quickly washed and got out slipping into my house coat I walked down stairs looking at the shut door of the master bedroom I shivered and kept on walking. I hated that room… I couldn't stand to be in it. Walking into the living room I sat down grabbing the throw I keep on the back of the couch to cover up with before turning the tv on. Today was going to be a lazy day by George. I sat there cuddled into the pillow and blanket watching Maury laughing here and there as men and women made fools out of themselves. Feeling my phone vibrate I looked down to see I had 2 missed calls and 5 text messages from Jacob. I just rolled my eyes not even bothering to look at the texts or listen to the voice mails. He could rot in hell for all I cared, after what he did to me that was what he deserved. Hearing a knock on my door I got up taking the blanket with me wrapping it around my shoulders I opened the door to see Sam standing there looking at me before he quickly pushed his way inside.

"I'm glad to see you too Sam but dang… rude much? I asked closing the door and locking it. Sam turned on me looking em up and down.

"Why didn't you tell us you were working at Forks hospital?" He asked his eyes never leaving mine, I just shrugged pulling the blanket closer to my body.

I didn't think it would be a big deal, it was hiring and I needed a job… La Push isn't in high supply of jobs Sam."

" I understand that but the hospital where a Cullen works isn't the place for you Amelia." I just looked at him arching a brow.

"I have to have a job Sam, I have bills I have to pay and groceries I have to buy not to mention gas and kerosene for the winter! I can't afford to not work."

"Move back in with us. We miss you, the guys miss you… come on." I shook my head backing away from him.

"That's very sweet of you Sam but I can't. I wont be a bigger burden than I already am. Cullen has never approached me, and he wont. He can't hurt me so I'm not worried about it. The hospital pays good, it's a decent job. I like it and I'm not quitting… I need this." I said giving Sam a pleading look. He looked at me for a moment before sighing and nodding.

"Alright but if he does or says something out of the way you better let me know. You are my sister and I care deeply about you and your well being." He said placing a hand on my shoulder I smiled up at him moving to give him a hug. Sam wasn't much for affection but he smiled and returned my hug giving me a soft squeeze. "I look at you as my sister Amelia, you are a part of my family, and I hope you view me as someone you can trust."

Smiling I nodded my head. "You are a brother whom I love very much… you are the man who makes my sister happy and who respects her, what more could I ask for?" Sam smiled kissing my forehead in a brotherly way.

"Jacob will come around Ami… give him time, please give him time." I tensed hearing his name before shaking my head.

"He hates me Sam, he hates me and he hates the fact that he imprinted on me. He wants her Sam, not me. I will not and can never be Bella. I am me and I wont change for no one… no matter how much my heart begs me to." Sam gave me a smile as if I had made him the happiest man in the world.

"You are strong Ami, much stronger than you give yourself credit for. He needs you, you keep him on his toes, you don't let him get away with anything… Jacob Black needs you and that terrifies the living shit out of him. He'll come around trust me Teddy… he'll come around." I smiled at Sam's use of the nick name Paul had given me.

Sam stayed for about an hour before he had to get back to work, as he left he had given me another hug before begging me to come over to dinner tonight, I finally agreed to go. With a hug goodbye he left.

I went back to the living room glancing down the hall to the door of the master bed room, I shivered as tears sprang into my eyes as my mind went back to that one night that would undoubtedly change my life forever….
