BBQ Remix

*JACOB'S POV*
Dad and I had gone to the barbecue that Charlie was throwing for his daughter, Elizabeth. He had invited a lot of the pack, but Bella had invited her bloodsucker boyfriend and his fortune teller sister. Tension was pretty thick between the pack and the leeches. I talked with Sam shooting glares at the Cullens every now and again.
"Liz, come here for a sec," Bella commanded her sister. I spared a glance in that direction but my gaze only focused on Bella. God, she was so beautiful. Her boyfriend sent me an evil look from that thought. *Didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s rude to eavesdrop?* I thought coldly.
Alice was about to say something when I walked up behind Bella’s sister. I smirked as they both tensed up. “Hi, Jacob,” Bella said brightly, trying to relieve some of the tension. Typical Bells. Edward was glaring hard at me but I easily returned the look. I heard Bella clear her throat. “Jacob, you remember my sister, Lizzy?”
I dropped my gaze to meet Elizabeth’s eyes. Mine widened as I saw her cold, distant expression. She looked bored as hell and I wanted to know what she was thinking. It was like this girl was the only thing in the world that mattered. And…NO! I can’t have imprinted! I was in love with Bella. I saw her bloodsucker smirk. *Get the hell out of my head!* “Hi, I’m Jacob Black,” I said, reaching out my hand. She took it and didn’t give any sign of noticing how warm mine was.
“Lizzy,” she replied in a bored tone. “Sorry, I don’t remember you.”
I shrugged. I hadn’t seen her in almost ten years, although I did remember her. “You and Bella used to hang out on the beach with my sisters, Rachel and Rebecca.” Well, actually, I think that the four girls hated each other. And of course, I took my sisters’ side in their little feud. Maybe she won’t remember that; Bella didn’t.
“Right. I remember,” she said after a minute of thinking. She had a slight smirk playing on the edge of her lips. “You’re the one that ate mud.”
So she did sort of remember. “Uh, yeah.”
Her eyes narrowed at me. “You're the same little punk that thought it'd be funny to throw said mud at me and Bella!" she hissed.
Damn! Her and Bella were related? I had to take a step backwards from the fury in her voice. “I think you got even. You pushed me into the water!"
"Because you made my sister cry!" she shouted. It seemed like most of the people were staring at us now.
"Oh, right," I muttered. Bella blushed a little at that.
Lizzy turned and stomped inside the house. I stared in her direction until I heard Edward chuckling. “You imprinted on Bella’s twin sister?” His voice was quiet but I knew most of the people heard it.
“You did?” Bella asked with hope.
“Sorry, Bella, but I doubt it. I’m still fighting for you.”
She rolled her eyes and lightly punched my shoulder. “Jake, shut up.”
“Aw man, Jake. You imprinted?” Seth said laughing when he ran up to me.
“Shut it, kid,” I said through clenched teeth.
Everyone was laughing at my expense. That is, until the two bloodsuckers suddenly went stiff. Alice covered her nose and I could tell that neither of them was breathing. "Bella," Edward croaked out. "You're sister's bleeding."
My eyes grew. Lizzy was bleeding and there were two blood thirsty vampires in her backyard about to go suck her dry. The weirdest thing was how worried I was for her. I heard Bella gasp but I didn’t concentrate on Bells.
"We have to go," Alice said with her hand still plugging her nose. "You're sister's blood is almost as sweet as yours." Edward nodded in agreement.
"I'll see you tomorrow," he said, kissing her forehead. Both of them ran out in less than a second.
"Well, I'd better go check on her," Bella said hesitantly.
"Want me to go with you?"
She shook her head and gave me a weak smile. "No, Jake. You stay and enjoy the party. I'll talk to you later. And Jake? Lizzy really isn't that bad. Give her a chance. Would it really be that terrible if you imprinted on her?"
I knew Bella was right. I just didn't want to admit that to myself. The truth was, I was already in love with Lizzy.

*LIZZY'S POV*
There was a gentle knock at the door. "One second," I called. I hastily put the razor in my bag and stuffed it under the sink. I washed my hands and new cut before wrapping my arm in toilet paper. I pulled my long sleeves down to hide the new cut as well as the rest of my scars.
I opened the door to see Bella standing there. "Bathroom's all yours."
"Well, actually, I was looking for you."
"You found me. What's up?"
"Are you okay?"
I tilted my head to the side. There was no way she could know about me cutting myself. "Yeah, yeah. Why do you ask?"
She bit her bottom lip. "Well... You just seemed so mad at Jacob. I just wanted to make sure you weren't plotting his murder of something."
I chuckled a little. "I'm fine. Just needed some alone time to blow off some steam and relax. You know I hate it when people pick on you."
"Yeah, but Liz, that was years ago. Jake's one of my best friends now. He was like my sunshine when Edward was away." She cringed slightly. "Can't you cut him some slack?"
"I can try. But I make no guarantees."
"That's all I ask," Bella said. "Come on. Let's get back to the party."
I rolled my eyes but grudgingly followed her out none the less. I spent the rest of the night avoiding Jacob like the plague. It wasn’t that hard because I’m pretty sure he was trying to avoid me just as much.
