AN: I own only my own plot… all the rest is the invention of others (Mainly SM)

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

Five years was a very long time. It's a very long time to wait for fate to lead my destiny to me. It's been five years since the Cullens left Bella, broken and alone. Five years since I met Bella and not long after that I imprinted on her.

I don't remember the first time I saw her very well, at the time I was too busy being wowed by Jacob. I had always wanted a big brother and Jacob felt like one. He took me under his wing and taught me about being a man.

The night before my dad died I saw her again. I had just phased for the first time only hours before. She was walking along the beach she looked consumed in her thoughts. The moonlight poured down on her and I stood at the tree line in the shadows as a wolf. She shifted and the moonlight lit her face. Then her eyes came up and met mine. I felt the earth beneath me move and everything I had ever wanted, everything that held me here, everything I had period, was suddenly all tied up in her. I didn't know what had happened. I was stunned. She turned away within seconds, making me realize that her poor human eyesight had not seen me despite the fact I had felt like her eyes had bored into my soul.

I freaked out after that. Bella was supposed to be Jacob's. Not only did all of the pack know this but most of La Push too. So I ran.

I ran an ran. My running was endless. I didn't think about anything but the woods and fields and tundra I passed and ran over. The pull was painful as I ran but I didn't think about it. I refused to. I pushed myself forward. I ran and lived in my wolf form for two years. Then I went home.

AN: sorry it is short but I'm working on the second chapter and should have it up soon. I know I promised this story a long time ago but my kid got sick and then I was a support person for a friend while she had her baby... and I honestly got a little lazy for a bit. Here it is though!
