I'm not even sure he would say yes if I asked him after all when you're bitter and cold to someone for such a longtime why would they. And yes I, Leah Clearwater did just call a Leech, a someone and I am about to ask one for help.
I'm not even sure why I am asking him but it's worth a shot and that's why I'm pulling into the drive way to the Cullen's house. Part of me hoped he would answer the door so I didn't have to talk to the others. I parked my motorbike at the front of the house. I wonted to be able to ask him face to face and fully clothed too, so I choose to drive here instead of running over.
I swung my leg off the bike pulling off my helmet and placing it on the bike before walking to the front door. I breathed in before knocking on the door. A half second later Edward opened the door I guess he had been waiting for me to knock.
"What can I do for you Leah" he said calmly, being polite to me. I breathed out slowly.
"I'm looking for Jasper" I said or that's what I should have said but instead I just using Edwards's mind reading power to my advantage and said it in my head. I looked at the wall behind his head. I never liked asking for help, it wasn't my best quality.
When Edward didn't say anything I sighed looking over at him. Don't make me say it! I thought meeting his eyes then before he could answer Esme came up behind him.
"Leah it's nice to see you but Jacob isn't here" she said kindly looking over her shoulder to double check that he wasn't.
"No, I'm, I'm not looking for Jake" I said in a quiet voice though I know they heard.
"Oh. Well, who would you like to see" said Esme looking from Edward back to me.
"Umm" I said, breathing out. I couldn't smell him which meant he probably wasn't here so I was going to have to ask.
"Jasper" I said, looking away from them both, looking anywhere and everywhere else.
"Alice said he was at the boarder hunting alone" said Edward looking to where the boarder was in the forest.
I made a little smile at Esme as my thank you before I began to walk into the forest in my human form. It had to be done in my human form so I walked the whole way there.
I smelt him before I saw him, standing, watching, and waiting for something or someone. His hands were behind his back like a solider at stand easy; his back was facing me though he knew I was there.
"You have got to be the last person I thought I was meeting here. What can I do for you?" he asked turning around to face me. Now I was here I didn't think I could ask.
"Your nervous" he stated looking at me curiously.
"Fix it then" I said before I know what I was saying the words were already out of my mouth.
I got and understood the confused look on his face as he stared at me.
I had made it clear many times over that if they touched me with either their power or and their body I would rip them limb from limb. I laughed nervously before biting my bottom lip.
"I need to use your gift" I said before sighing as we stared at each other.
"You want me to use my gift on you" he asked standing in front of me with his hands pulled back behind his back like before. I nodded my head because at this second I didn't think I could trust my voice to work. I stood there each of us staring at the other then I felt it. Calm, I felt nothing but calm.
"Wow that's, really good Leech" I said with even a small smile slipping on to my face.
I wasn't nervous about asking and I wasn't angry. I was calm but out of habit the leech bit slipped out.
"May I give a bit of advice" he said and with only missing one beat he continued. "If you want someone's help, don't call them a Leech" he said calmly.
"Sure I'll try" I said because right now he was the only hope I had. So I breathed in and began.
"You have heard my story right? About Sam and Emily" I asked hoping that I wouldn't have to explain it. He nodded so I continued to talk.
"Well their wedding is this Friday. I want you to be my date" I said though I was more pleading then anything. As I said it he laughed before looking up at me. I gave him an I'm serious look and he tried to turn his laugh into a cough.
"I'm sorry" he said maybe it was the hope in my eyes or just he felling it but he said he was sorry and I believed it.
"You want me to be your date to your cousins wedding" he asked just to be sure he heard me right. I would have been shocked to if it was me being asked.
"Yes" I said calmly meeting his eyes, nodding my head.
"When is it" he asked, frown lines appeared on my forehead as I stared at him.
"Friday, I said that already" I said happy he was even thinking about it.
"What about the pre dinner. Would you want me there to" he asked, I had totally forgotten about the pre dinner tonight.
"Umm, well yes it would help but you don't have to… I mean asking you to help me at all is a big thing, but the wedding and the pre dinner would be would be great and to much" I said thinking it though out loud shaking m head. I couldn't ask him do both.
"I'll be there tonight and again on Friday" he said calmly before being to walk past me.
"Thank you" I said as he walked past me.
He stopped, standing just behind me and for once I didn't feel the need to turn around to defend myself.
"Would you like a ride" asked Jasper in a low voice. I spun around to face him in pure surprise.
"What" I asked as he stood there facing me.
"Would you like a ride back" he asked again in such a gentleman-like southern voice. I smiled at him.
"Why not? This day couldn't get anymore weird" I said lightly walking cautiously over to him.
He held his hand out to me like a guy asking a girl to dance.
I didn't really know what I thought of the whole idea my head was filled with nothing but calm feelings.
I placed my hand on his shoulder as he slipped his arm around my waist before picking up my legs with his free hand. With that one swift move I was in his arms with my arm rapped around his neck so I felt even a little in control when I really wasn't but at this second I didn't care.
Then we run back through the forest to the Cullen's house before we could see the house through the forest trees, he came to a stop.
He placed my feet lightly back on the ground letting his hand drop from me to lay by his side though I still have my hand that was holding me up on his shoulder.
"Hey can you not tell the others about this" I said looking around us. "Any of it" I said talking about both him carrying me back and he coming to the wedding with me.
He nodded at me before speaking. "I'll meet you there tonight" and with that, he walked away from me back into the house. As I pulled my helmet back on all my own feelings came back and to be honest I didn't like it. I spent the rest of the day prepping myself for Emily and Sam's pre dinner.
