a/n: So this is set after Eclipse but before the wedding in Breaking Dawn.
Pride. That's the only thing she had left. Well, that and Seth. Sure, she was breath-taking to look at; any man with eyes would quiver with desire at the sight of her, but what lied beneath her beautiful, naturally-tanned skin of silk, was boiling rage and a less-than-appealing narcissistic mind. Her world had been turned completely upside down and no one but her little brother seemed to acknowledge that she got the short end of the stick.
The list of negatives in her life seemed like a never-ending one.
Funny, she thought angrily, just like my life-span. Never-freaking-ending.
Leah Clearwater was special, one of a kind. That's what Sam always said to her whenever she decided to find a good amount of time to pity herself on patrol. At hearing his thoughts, however, Leah snorted at how literal Sam's attempted words of comforting really were. If anything, the bastard was just rubbing it in her face.
This leads her to where she is now, sitting at the top of the cliffs, staring out at the horizon. Yeah, she was supposed to be patrolling, but with the insufficient nonsense from Paul and Jared, she figured she'd rather have Sam lecture her about the importance of patrolling La Push and its inhabitants.
Like I've never heard that speech before, she thought, snorting.
Honestly, she'd rather be stuck patrolling with Jacob. At least then she'd be able to mock him about his refusal to believe that a certain pathetic-excuse-for-a-human named Isabella Swan is in love with the mind-raping leech.
What an idiot.
She's known Jacob Black her whole life and he's never been as pathetic as he was being now. He was completely oblivious to the flock of desperate-for-attention girls that somehow happened to be at every event, every barbecue, every swim at the beach, just to rake their lust-filled eyes over his perfectly chiseled body-
Wait….what in the actual fuck am I thinking? She recoiled at the fact that she was picturing Jacob Black's body and complimenting him. She got up quickly and shook her head as if to shake the poisonous thoughts from her mind. With a swift turn she headed towards her house in hopes of getting some much needed rest.
At least my dreams don't make me feel like killing myself, she thought, looking ahead at the familiar trail in the forest she had memorized like the back of her hand.
She eagerly sped up her pace, wanting to get home as soon as possible, waiting for the comfort of her bed and soft pillows welcoming her return. But since her name was Leah Clearwater and fate seemed to have a great laugh at making her miserable, she could hear the booming laughter of Seth, Jacob, Embry, and Quil.
She gritted her teeth knowing she wouldn't be able to get any sleep at all with all the noise they were making. Seriously though, they were shape-shifters, they had super enhanced senses, why do they feel the need to talk at such a high volume if it wasn't necessary?
"Oh I know," she seethed, "because they're all mentally incapable of using their brains."
God, why was her house always where the idiots always wanted to hang out? She groaned at the thought of not getting the peaceful sleep she wanted so bad.
She swung the door open to find the four of them sprawled in the living room watching a Vampire Show. The Vampire Diaries. She decided against face-palming herself and instead focused a deadly glare in their direction.
"Hey Leah," Jacob grinned, stuffing his mouth with chips. "Wanna watch with us?"
"No," she replied in a flat tone. She started to turn for the stairs when she heard Seth call her name.
"What, Seth?" she snapped, jaw clenched.
"Join us," he offered, "come on, when's the last time you sat down and watched TV?"
At her silence, Seth grinned and patted the seat between him and Embry, "you have to watch this show, the vampires and wolves in this show are so different from what we're used to."
"Why would I wanna watch a show like that when I could walk out the front door and live it?" she scoffed, rolling her eyes. She made to walk up the stairs but was stopped by Seth who had caught her arm.
"Seth," she warned in a dangerously calm tone, "let go, or I will rip your arm off."
"Come on, Lee," he whined, stepping in front of her, "we're always so serious, just sit down and enjoy the stupid show. Let loose for a while."
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"You can hit any of them whenever you want," he grinned, ignoring the protests from the other three occupants in the living room who were now shooting him scowls.
"Okay," she shrugged, smirking, "but only because you said I could hit any of them whenever I please."
"Well since Seth just signed our death lease," Quil sighed dramatically, "I would like to make one small request. If that's okay, Leah?"
"Of course!" she replied in a cheerful sarcastic tone, even throwing him a beaming smile. "Whatever is it, Quil, dearest?"
"If you're gonna hurt us, I would like you to at least have the decency to be dirty, and let me enjoy it," he smirked, wiggling his eyebrows at her, "I prefer spankings, but if you have whips I would be more than happy to-
He was cut off by Seth's burger hitting him square in the face.
There was silence as Jacob, Leah, and Embry looked from Seth's irritated face to Quil's stunned face, then the room erupted in laughter.
"Never talk to my sister like that in front of me, Quil," Seth warned, shaking his head in disapproval, "or I'll give Claire ideas about finding a boyfriend."
At Quil's horrified expression, Leah snorted and chimed in with her two cents, "Quil, you wouldn't be able to handle me anyway."
Embry's eyes widened and had a look of desire on his face that he didn't even try to mask. Jacob, she noticed, looked at her with curiosity. He smirked at her then turned his attention back to the television.
The worst part about being forced to watch a Vampire show with 4 guys? She ended up being more interested in the show than actually causing physical harm to any of them.
I have no balance in my life.
