Embry POV
This summer it was very warm, which was great and kind of unusual in forks because it was always raining here. I was glad it was warm though, it meant spending more time outdoors, I don't think the cullen's appreciated the sun like the rest of us did, but they'd get over it. Today I was heading down to the first beach with quil and jett. Annalee, Claire and Alexa were already there, I was starting to panic a little on the way over quil and Claire had started there relationship almost 4weeks ago and they were all over each other, it hadn't gone that far yet but it wouldn't be long, they were both like dogs on heat! Jett and Alexa were a good couple, I guess I figured once he phased and didn't imprint he would end it with her because we did not need another Sam, Emily and Leah love triangle that didn't go well for anyone! I knew jett hadn't gone the whole way with her, I think he was kind of waiting out incase he got an imprint but I didn't know for sure. Any more though and the deed will be done I can tell by the way he is thinking being in his head and all. And finally there's me and annalee, who knew what was going on there! I knew my feelings were changing, how her body was turning into a women, she had inherited nessie's curves but her stomach was so flat and toned up, I guess that was from all the running. When I was phased with jake or jett and she was around I'd had started reciting the alphabet in my head to distract myself from her. Annalee on the other hand, I'm not 100% sure how she felt sometimes when I was there I'd catch her just watching me, it wasn't an intense gaze it was more a thinking gaze but as soon as she noticed I had caught her she'd just smile and look away, she was going to college In exactly two weeks and three days and I was dreading that day, of course I wanted to tell her everything before she left, I wanted her to know that I was hers if she wanted me of course, I'd always give her the choice. And another part of me wanted her to enjoy her life at college, not wanting her to worry about leaving me, and how I'm like a dog who's lost his bone while she's gone. I wanted her to live her life and when she came home I'd tell her everything. Life was really confusing for me at the moment, I proberly should of told her by now anyways but I'd left it too long as per usual. When we arrived at the beach we could see the girls further down soaking up the sun. When we walked over quil was like he was on a peice of elastic with Claire and was dragged over to her, jett wasn't like that with Alexa, she was like that with him however, running over to us and wrapping her arms around him. And I just sat down next to annalee, she was in a light sleep I could tell by her breathing so I picked up some sand and poured it on her stomach.
"Ew stop" she squealed and brushed the sand off her stomach and lifted her glasses us and smirked at me.
"I hope your wearing sun block" I said smirking and she smiled.
"Of course I am" truth was she proberly wasn't, we found out that nessies and annalees skin didn't burn, instead it just had a light Faint glow to it, Claire and Alexa would never notice it, but the vampires and the wolves with supernatural eyesight did. She looked over at the couples and sighed lightly.
"Coming for a swim?" She asked and I smiled, we got up and I finally appreciated her stunning Body in the light pink bikini with no straps! Damn!
"Coming?" She asked from the water edge and I nodded and followed her into the water, we swam around for a while, and when we reached the water were she couldn't reach but I could she held onto my shoulders for support. We floated around for a while and she looked up to the cliffs.
"Have you done that before?" I asked and she looked at me.
"What?"
"Cliff dive" she laughed and shook her head.
"Nope, my dad would never let me, I've seen him and jett do it though" that made me laugh.
"Well your dad use to take your mom and do it all the time" her eyes widen.
"Are you serious?" I nodded.
"So care to join me?" I held my hand out and she took it smiling as we made our way back to the shore line, the other couples acknowledged us but never said anything.
"Race you" she said smiling and we took off running to the top of the cliff, it only took us just under 5minutes for us both to be standing on the ledge. I noticed annalees hesitant when we walked over to the edge.
"What your not scared now are you?" She shook her head a little too soon and I smirked.
"Come on hop on" I gestured to my back and she smiled and jumped up, she wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist.
"Hold on" I said grinning and she pressed her face into the back of my neck, and then I jumped. When we reached the water I let her go and we both swam up to the surface.
"Oh my god" she squealed and I laughed.
"That was so good!" I smiled at how excited she was.
"Come on" I said and we swam back to shore, when we got there. Jett was glaring at me.
"Break my sister and I'll break your neck" annalee rolled her eyes and I smirked.
"Jett why can't i do that?" Alexa whined.
"Your not doing that" he said in a firm voice.
"Yeah but annalee did! And I want to please" he looked at her and then looked back at the water.
"No"
"Oh but-"
"But nothing, I didn't like her up there and she's a-" he stopped himself there before he said his sister was pretty much indestructible.
"She's a what?" Alexa asked and annalee was now sat up and glaring at jett wide eyed, Claire and quil were also looking very worried about what was about to come out next.
"Nothing! If doesn't matter but you aren't going up there ok" she sighed and he muttered.
"At Least your not in my care" she didn't catch it though, neither did Claire but myself, quil and annalee all heard him. That just proved that Alexa was not jetts imprint, if she was he would of forbid her ever to go near those cliffs, all those years ago when Bella almost died jumping from there, it was far to dangerous for any human to do that, but since he told her she wasn't doing it when she was with him, but he didn't tell her ever to go on those cliffs, of course he'd never want anything to happen to her but when she wasn't with him he couldn't stop her because she wasn't his true mate, she wasn't his sole, gravity and Imprint. She was just his high school girlfriend. After a while of us all just lying there I couldn't help the way annalee kept shifting and scratching her throat, so I sat up and removed her glasses slowly, she blinked fast at the sudden brightness but then I saw what was wrong, her eyes were dark.
"When was the last time?" I asked knowing she would know what I was talking about. She shrugged.
"Maybe just shy of two weeks" I gave her a look and she nodded.
"Come on" I said and I stood up, she sighed and got up.
"Where are you going?" Alexa asked.
"Um for some dinner" annalee said quickly.
"Oh I'm hungry, can we go?" She asked jett, I cast a look over to jett telling him if he wanted his girlfriend chomping down on Bambi better not.
"Nah, I don't like the places them two eat, we'll go somewhere different soon ok" she sighed and nodded.
"Sure ok" annalee smiled and so did I, we walked until we were out of sight and began running, I phased behind her and followed her through the woods until she found a deer to drink. Once she'd satisfied her taste buds, she gestured for me to phase back and handed me a bag with some sweats in from earlier. We walked through the woods until we found a tree stump to sit against, the majority of the afternoon just took up of us chatting about everything and anything.
"You know I'm going to miss you right" I stared at annalee as I wasn't expecting her to say that.
"What?"
"When I go to college... I'm going to miss you" I smiled.
"Oh I know honey" she nodded slowly.
"Your not getting scared are you?" She shrugged
"Maybe a little"
"Don't be scared, you will do amazing there I know it, and I'll be there seeing you and you'll be back here as much as possible so with all that and the pack and you enjoying college life we won't have time to be upset about missing each other" that was a huge lie, after she went I'd be slowly dying until she came home.
"I know" she smiled a little and I hugged her.
"I'm leaving sooner than I thought"
"When?" I asked gritting my teeth.
"The day after tomorrow"
"Why?" I choked out.
"Early orientation" I nodded and tried to push the lump raising in my throat back down.
"It's getting late we better get going" I nodded and we walked back to her house in mostly silence.
"Embry" I looked at her and she frowned.
"I'm sorry" I raised my eyebrows and she came closer and pressed her lips onto mine, I was complerly taken back but it was truly amazing, even if it was for no longer than 5seconds.
"Annalee-" she shook her head.
"No, I couldn't of gone all the way across the country, thousands of miles away without doing that ok... So I'll see you soon" I was so taken back by what she just did, I couldn't even get my words out before she'd went back Into her house. And why the hell did she say sorry? Was she sorry for leaving, for kissing me! Who knows but I couldn't get those words out of my mind 'I'm sorry'.
Jacob POV
I can't lie I'm enjoying the alone time with Nessie. Annalee and jett were out in La push and nina was up at the big house and I was currently loving my wife over and over again.
"Jacob" Nessie was panting after our third round.
"Yeah?" I turned to look at her and she looked like she was concentrating.
"Listen" I did what she asked and listened and could hear annalee and embry talking outside. Everything went quiet and then the front door opened and closed and someone was walking upstairs and then another door closed. I felt embry phase outside and then I looked at Nessie who was looking at me.
"What just happened?" I whispered and she shrugged.
"Possibly, a slight break through, this could of gone good or bad" I nodded.
"Mmm I'll talk to annalee, you talk to embry" I groaned.
"Do I have to?"
"Yes" I sighed and got up out of bed. I pulled on my boxers and went into the living room.
"Good luck" Nessie called out before I left, I chuckled lightly and ran out the back doors and phased. Instantly I was bombarded with millions of thoughts of my daughter. Annalee at the beach in her bikini, annalee swimming with embry, annalee smiling, annalee hunting, annalee walking and finally annalee kissing him.
Wow dude stop!
Jake seriously just go! I need time alone.
No what you need is to just calm down, where are you?
South of the reservation
Ok stay there I'm coming to meet you
No jake you really don't have to
But I do embry, your forgetting it's my little girls heart getting mixed up in all this, I'm not Edward I wouldn't try and get involved in whatever is going on. But what's just happend for her is something big, she doesn't know about the imprint, but she's feeling the pull otherwise she wouldn't of kissed you.
You think?
I don't think, I know.
Ok... Ok.
Just remember, the imprint effects her just as much as it effects you. She doesn't know what she is feeling right now, all she Proberaly is thinking is that she's falling for her best friend, I remember how Nessie described it to me, she didn't have a clue what was happening to her until I explained.
I know all of this dammit.
Embry will you just calm down!
I can't!
Then tell her, she deserves to know.
No! No I can't, she needs to be free and enjoy college. I'll tell her when she comes back.
If that's how you want to play this then I won't stop you, however I think it's best you don't see annalee again until she's left.
What why?!
I won't have you pulling on my daughters heart strings embry, I won't see her in that pain.
Ok jake...
Thank you embry, I'm going to phase back ok?
Sure, and thanks
No problem
I ran back to the house and phased back in the back yard, Nessie had left me some sweats out so I pulled them on and headed for the door, nina and jett where back I could smell them, and the strong scent of salty water. That meant crying.
"She's crying?" I asked Nessie when I went in the patio doors, Nessie was sat on the couch, with her head leaning back staring at the celing.
"Yep, I couldn't calm her down she'd gotten herself so worked up Jacob! Nina and jett are trying to talk her down now"
"Any luck?" I asked sitting down with her.
"Not really, her heart beats going back to normal which is good" I nodded and listened to my kids talking upstairs, nina comforting annalee and jett trying to find out what was wrong.
"Jett come here please" I said at normal volume, a few minutes later I could hear him walking downstairs.
"What's wrong with her?" He asked walking in.
"What happened between annalee and embry today?" His face went from normal to anger as soon as his name was mentioned.
"What the hell did that son of a bitch do to her?" He demanded, I noticed he was shaking, Nessie went to go over but I pushed her back.
"No Nessie" she nodded and I put my hands on his shoulders.
"Calm down jett. I don't think he did anything to her, it's what she did to him"
"I did fuck all!" Annalee screamed from upstairs and we all went wide eyed then I sighed.
"She may have kissed him" Nessie said and jett sighed.
"Well I'm not surprised, he's been teasing her all day!"
"Why?"
"Well for one he was practically undressing her with his eyes when he seen her" I cringed, didn't need to know that jett.
"And he took her cliff diving! She was on his back and everything" that made me mad, one thing I didn't want was any of my girls up there.
"She'll be ok jett, she's just confused. She thinks she shouldn't of done it. She's worried she's ruined there whole friendship, because she did what her impulses told her to do" jett nodded.
"Is he?" I shook my head.
"Why?"
"He doesn't want to, after college" he looked angry but nodded. Talking in short like that annalee wouldn't of been able to pick it up from upstairs.
"She'll be ok" I said and he nodded.
"I know, I just hate seeing her like that" I sighed.
"Me too kid" he nodded and headed back upstairs. I sat down on the couch with Nessie and she curled into my side.
"It's going to be all ok In the end isn't it jake" I sighed.
"Yeah ness, of course it is" I kissed her head. And listened to my kids comforting one another upstairs.
