It Was You From the Start

*JACOB'S POV*

“Jacob, you’re an idiot!” I sighed.

“How many times are you going to be saying that Quil? I’d really like to know.”

“As many times as it takes for it to sink into your thick head.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think she’d faint.” We’d been sitting in Rory’s room for days. I’d been by her bedside the entire time, unless Toby needed something. I was the only one he’d even look at.

“How could you though, Jacob? Why did you tell her that she was one?”

“Oh, please, you think it, too. Trust me, I know.”

“Only because the way she talked about you, it felt so strong. Almost like she had actually imprinted on you.”

“I think she did. And I think I did on her, too.”

“What!?”

“I think…I—I know that I’ve imprinted on Rory.”

Quil sighed. “Calvin’s going to kill you.”

“It’s not my fault! It’s this stupid predicament those stupid vampires have put me in.

“Don’t you like my sister?”

“Yeah, but it would be so much more real if I wasn’t a werewolf and hadn’t imprinted on her. I like her werewolf or not.”

“Calvin’s going to kill you.” I rolled my eyes.

“Then I’ll tell him the truth.”

“What is the truth?”

“I can’t live without Rory.”
