"I never even thought about it like that, God I'm such an idiot." Lyla chuckled through her tears.

"No, you're not, I am. I was insecure and scared, I should've just talked to you and instead I started acting like a complete bitch." Jess laughed too, trying to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"Yeah, you did, I never thought you had it in you." Lyla joked.

"Thanks." Jess rolled her eyes, but she had a smile on her lips, the smile Lyla hadn't seen her wear in too long.

"Have you spoken to Jared much about everything?" Lyla asked, happy to feel she could speak to Jess like she used to.

"A bit, it's a lot to take in, and he's always running off to be with Kim or the pack." She then grinned. "How weird is it to say 'the pack' like its completely normal."

"That's what you find weird? What about the fact your brother and my boyfriend literally turns into a wolf?" Lyla combatted.

"Boyfriend? So it's official?" Jess practically squealed, and Lyla could barely contain her happiness that she had this Jess back.

She'd missed her more than anything.

"Um, yeah, it is." Lyla said, a stupid grin on her face as she looked down at her hands.

"Lyla Woodsen, are you blushing!?" Jess exclaimed teasingly.

"Shut up!" Lyla brushed her off, chucking a pillow at the giggling girl opposite her.

"Wow, you must really have it bad." Jess kept teasing.

"Yeah, yeah I do." Lyla admitted sheepishly.

"I never thought I'd see the day!" Jess laughed. "So, come on, I need details, how does this imprint stuff work?"

"Uh, from what the stories say, it's like a soulmate, the person you're supposed to be with. After they change into a wolf, when they look into your eyes for the first time they just know." Lyla explained with a shrug, though her heart jumped thinking back to that day when Paul imprinted on her.

"Oh my God, that's so romantic." Jess swooned. "Okay, you have to tell me, are any of the guys still single, because I need some romance in my life."

"Jess!" Lyla laughed at her friend's eagerness.

"What? Come on, Lyla, help a girl out." Jess begged, wiggling her eyebrows.

"You do realise you can't flirt your way into the pack, right?" Lyla reminded.

"Doesn't mean I can't try, and if I just happen to find my soulmate along the way, then who am I to complain?" Jess quipped happily.

"Okay, how about me and you go to Emily's house together? You can stare into each of the boys' eyes and see if you find your one true love." Lyla said in a sing song voice, laughing like she used to at Jess' hopeless romantic ways.

"Don't get my hopes up." Jess whined over-dramatically.

"I'm glad we can do this again. I missed you." Lyla said seriously.
