Jake Coping With Paul.

[Rachel Black]

*Rachel was trying to get through to Jake, she didn't want his anger to kill Paul. Paul had imprinted upon her, there was nothing she could do about it. Paul was her mate now, but Jake didn't want this to be true. He doesn't really know what "Imprinting" is. It has not happen to him yet. Rachel looked out her fathers window in the living room of the small but quiet house of Billy's. Turning to the TV as a commercial comes on about being depressed. Rachel laughed before the commercial was over* Yea I am depressed alright, how about you make a pill that fixes a stupid brother. *She looked up at the door by the TV. Jake had come into the room. Here was her chance to talk to him one last time. He was coming home to eat, there was no better time to talk then now. Jake motioned into the kitchen to make a sand which. Rachel jumped up from her chair, her dark brown hair falling into her face as she turned to look at her tall brother standing in the kitchen.* Rachel-"I need to talk to you Jake. Now!" *She looked at him as he took his first bite. He knew Rachel had him cornered.* Jake-"What Rachel, I don't have time for this. *Rachel knew he had time. He was not going anywhere til his food was finished. Dad did a good job on that part. "Waste not want not" dad always said.* Rachel-"You need to give Paul some slack. And me as well. It is not fair that you are acting like I am a princess that must be locked away in a tower. He and I will be together no matter what you say or do." *Rachel's words hung in the air. They were thick on the bad of Jake's throat. His anger started to rise that moment.* Jake-"Rach, stop you are making me mad. I don't want to think about you and PAUL right now." *Jake took another bite from his sand which. He was angry Rachel knew that much. His grip on his food was a death grip, as if his food was going to run away from him. Rachel still pushed on.* Rachel-"We are going to talk about it Jake, I am going to see Paul and you cant stop me. The sooner you get that the better!" *She started to walk out the door. Jake soon followed her out the door. Jake grabbed her arm to make her stop. Rachel spun around looking at him deep in the eyes. Her eyes filled with deep tears as she started to scream more at him.* Rachel-"I love Paul, I don't care what your fear is. He won't hurt me. And if he does OH WELL I love him. That's why Sam stays with Emily and Emily stays with Sam. I will be the same way Jake!" *Her words hit Jake hard on the heart. He looked at his sister before, he could say anything to harm his sister he ran from her and shifted into a wolf. This was the only way he could get away fast enough from the pain he was being put through!

*Rachel sayed looking after her brother running off. She started to cry. Falling to her knees she looked up at the sky with her hands forming a praying hands.* Rachel-"Mom please help me. Help Jake see what is happening." *She starts to cry harder as she look at the ground. Whispering softly to herself about her mother, she wanted nothing more but Jake to approve of her a Paul. But there was nothing in this world that will keep her away from Paul. She wanted to run away with him and never return. But that couldn't happen Billy needed her, and Jake. She laid down on the ground for a while while she cried alone. Billy finally came outside to get her. She stood up muddy and covered in water. She walked into the house. She looked behind her as she heard a howl in the night air. It was Jake, it was a howl of pain. That much she knows about my brother's wolf thing."*
