I just wanted to do a silly light three shot which came out as a two shot. First chapter was really hard and didn't come together so I did a two-shot.

Shot I: Where Leah Believes Jacob is About to Dump Her..
After their fight of the century last month, Leah noticed the difference in Jacob's attitude. For any common spectator, it was nothing but Leah could feel the vague difference in him. It was hidden well but Leah knew it.
He was avoiding her a lot.
He was getting a lot agitated lately.
He would rather spend his time with Edward-freakin-Cullen and Bella-wannabeleech-Swan than her. Was he trying to get back together with the wanna-be leech?
When she tried to talk about it, he would meticulously steer away from the topic and fool her.
Oh, something was definitely wrong with Jacob Black.
She scanned her memory, dug in deep to search for anything she might have said to hurt him or offend him in any matter but she found none. She had some some really bad stuff in their last epic fight but she had said worst and yet Jacob still loved her.
Then why was Jacob being so distant? Why was he being so hurtful? She loved him so so much, he was the first person she'd let in after Sam, the only person who she had offered her fragile heart to, the only person who had accepted it with arms wide open and helped her heal it, make it strong. The sole person who made her feel complete, the only person on whose arms she found solace.
And she wanted him back, she wanted him back with all her heart.
'I'd never hurt you!' He had promised. And she expected him to keep it.
'God Jacob, if you break that promise and my heart,' She chopped the vegetable violently, tears sprang to her eyes,'I swear I will kill you.'
The door to the apartment opened, Jacob saw Leah at the kitchen counter. His grin slowly faded and was replaced by a sour look seeing her tear ridden face.
He rushed to the kitchen and cupped her cheeks, his thumbs stroking her cheeks in comfort,'What's wrong?'
She looked at his face through her wet lashes, his eyes dripping with concern. And the soft groggily spoken syllable made him laugh out loud. 'Onion.'
Leah poked his toned stomach with the blunt end of the knife,'This is funny to you.'
Jacob's laugh came into a sudden halt. He took in a deep breath and there was a crease upon his face. Leah dreaded the words, she knew, this was the same expression Sam had when he told her he was in love with Emily and not her.
'Leah, I don't want this anymore.'
Leah sucked in a deep breathe.'Don't panic Leah, you're strong, you can do this, you can handle the pain.' But she knew, she couldn't.
'I want something more out of life.' He took her hands in his.
Her tears refused to be held in but she was obstinate not to shed them. The knife was dropped to the counter. She would never, ever ever in her life trust a man again, liars, they were all liars. 'Why did I ever trust my heart and soul to him?' She felt frustrated.
'I want a wife...a dozen kids...and a family.'
Leah was trying, by god she was trying to held it in but a lone tear stealthily slid down her face.
'And I want it with you.'
Leah's heart skipped two beats,'Wha...'
Jacob got down on his knees, a simple diamond ring in his hands.'Leah Clearwater, Would you make me the happiest man on Earth by being my wife.'
'Eh...' was Leah's oh-so-intelligent reply. 'Wasn't he supposed to break up with me?'
Jacob flushed scarlet,'I know it is not the most beautiful or the costliest of rings but it is my mom's. It is plain but it represents...'
Leah's mind started functioning. 'Shut up Jake!'
She pulled him up and crushed her lips violently into his. Leah was never good with words, she always showed her feelings through actions. She hoped this would convey to him how much she loved him.
'I'll take that as a yes.' Jacob chuckled and put the ring on her slender ring finger, it fit perfectly.
A quiet giggle escaped her throat,'I thought you were avoiding me and thinking of dumping me.'
His face held a curious expression. 'What? Why? I promised you, I will never hurt you.'
'Cause you preferred to be with Edward and Bella than me. I thought you wanted to get back together with Bella.' She sighed satisfied just being in his strong arms. She felt safe, happy, protected.
She looked at her finger, the ring was simple but so perfect, just like the man she loved.
'He was teaching me how to propose. Enough about the leech. Let's celebrate.' He said but didn't let go of her.
Leah shook her head and smiled in contentment. 'Edward and his lame proposing ways.'
So what do you think of the supposed-to-be-the-second shot. I think it didn't turn out as good as it did in my head. The third and the final shot will be out soon.
Till then, take care.
And review for the second and the last drabble. Where Leah and Bella have a talk.
