(A/N: This was inspired by a fountain at camp. Enjoy!)

Fountain

The stone fountain hadn't overflowed with water in years. The only things that ever came here anymore were small animals, bugs, and Leah. Maybe once it had been a nice place to hang out, or maybe it was even romantic. But now no one came to the dirty gray stone fountain. The fountain was now only a trickle of water, pathetically emptying into the pool below it.

This was Leah's favorite place to be. It was dried up and unloved, just like her.

She brushed some leaves off the bench near the fountain and sat down.

This was the one place that she could think about whatever she wanted without worrying about her head being intruded.

Leah moped about her life. It was just the same stuff that she always moped about; Sam and Emily, being the only female werewolf, being unloved, wanting to run away but not being allowed to, her whole existence. The fountain seemed to almost know how she felt, because all the water stopped.

Suddenly, a voice came out from the trees. "Leah? Are you okay?"

Oh no, Leah thought. The last person that she wanted to see right now was Jacob Black.

"I'm fine," Leah replied, irritated.

"You're not okay, Leah," Jacob said, walking out from the trees. "You only come here when you're really depressed about your life."

Leah's eyes widened. "How did you know that?" she asked.

"I'm stalking you," Jacob joked. "No, it comes up in your thoughts some times."

"Oh," Leah said quietly. She couldn't remember ever thinking about her fountain while in wolf form. "But why did you come here?" she questioned.

"I thought you might need someone to talk to."

"I don't need anyone to talk to," Leah argued.

Jacob looked into her eyes. "Leah," he said kindly.

That was all it took for Leah to break down. Just a look into her eyes and the uttering of her name. She told Jacob everything about how she was feeling.

She explained how she felt about Sam and Emily, and how she just was having trouble deal with being a werewolf. Leah knew that how Jacob considered her to be was very different than how she really, truly felt.

Jacob waited patiently for Leah to finish talking, never once interrupting. When she finished, Jacob nodded and whispered "I know."

Those two words were all Leah needed. It was all she needed to make her feel like she had a friend, like she had someone who understood her.

"That's right," Leah agreed. "You do know, don't you?"

Jacob just nodded.

After that, they just sat there in silence. Even with the lack of speaking, they both knew that they were feeling the same thing.

Leah's fountain, with its pathetic trickle of water, slowly became Leah and Jacob's fountain.
