I hated a lot of things but there was one thing that I really hated more than anything. Imprinting. Imprinting ruined my life here are the reasons why I hate imprinting:

Leah's reasons to hate imprinting:

1. It chooses who you must be with for you

2. It took Sam away from me

3. You really cant date because what if that person is not your imprint and you imprint later * cough Sam *

4. You have to wait around hoping you will imprint

5. What if you never do?

Ever since Sam left me for Emily I was never the same person. I was depressed some of the time. I was angry which lead to phasing. Everyone said it was normal to feel this way after a break up but not this time I really did love Sam and when he went to Emily it broke my heart. Day by day I was trying to be happy skipping rocks with the boys or teaching Collin and Brady how to spit long distances. I was one of the guys. That's all I ever was.

Embry's POV

I hate imprinting. Day after day and it had not happened to me yet. I had to turn down dates everyday. I know I should accept them some of them but I couldn't stand breaking up with them if I imprinted on someone else. Just like Sam and Leah. Leah and I were the only ones left in the pack who didn't imprint yet. Even Seth imprinted on Jacob and Nessie's 17 year old ( looking she was really only 5 and a half ) daughter Demi. Seth even told me he was going to propose to her right after graduation and I was his best man. The only thing I had to do all day was sit at home or skip rocks with the boys. Today I was really upset because Seth showed me the ring that he was going to give Demi. I know I shouldn't have but I growled and ran outside. I went somewhere when I was angry or mad. It kept me from phasing because it was so peaceful. It was a water fall at a near Reservation. I sat at the very top cliff edge. I had been sitting on the cliff for an hour when I felt a warm hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Leah smiling while sitting down next to me.

" Got mad?" She asked how did she know of course Seth.

" So I guess Seth told you.' I sighed.

" No I come up here when I am mad too." How could she be so understanding sometimes? I wrapped my arms around her shoulders.

" It is just so peaceful. I have been trying not to phase lately so this helps." I told her looking at our reflections in the water.

" Why are you not phasing?" She asked with a frown.

" I don't like being a werewolf Leah. I hate being born into it. I hate imprinting and the truth is I do want to age." I told her .

" Finally someone who gets my point of view!" She exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air. We just fell onto the edge of the cliff laughing.

" This is nice." I sighed.

" What is?" She asked confused.

" You and me hanging out. Neither of us imprinted so I was wondering..." I trailed off. Not wanting to finish what I had said. SHe took my hand.

" Wondering what Embry?" She asked.

" If we should go out sometime." I blushed looking down.

" Like a date?" She asked with the slightest amount of bliss in her voice.

" Yeah." I confessed. She smiled.

" I would like that." She said still smiling.I took her hand and kissed it.

" Saturday night eight o clock. Get dressed up and I will pick you up." I whispered in her ear. I could feel the shivers going down her back. She jumped off the cliff. WHAT WAS SHE DOING! That was at least a 100 foot drop! She landed successfully in the water. But then she went under and didn't come back up. She then sprang from the water and yelled,

" SEE YOU THEN MR. CALL!" She shouted. I gave a sigh of relief I was so excited for Saturday.
