This is just a little one-shot I wanted to do. Its a Blackwater, enjoy!


Leah ran as quickly as she could to the cliffs, the only place where she could breathe. The only place she could dream and hope for better days. Having her father die was painful enough. But the announcement of Emily and Sam's marriage was too much. Couldn't they just let her live her miserable life? No they had to make everything harder. Kissing and hugging affectionately right in front of her face. Disgusting beings.

She finally arrived to her favorite place, the cliffs that hung over the dark water of the ocean. She welcomed the salty breeze onto to her russet skin. It calmed her shaking body that was dying to phase. But she needed quietness, and the addition of the minds of teenage boys would drive her to the edge. Leah sat down on the soft grass close to where the cliffs ended.

Sam and Emily were finally tying the knot she thought. It angered her though she knew it would come one day. All she could think of was that she should be Emily. She should be the one marrying Sam and living a happy life. But no she had to be cursed with being the bitter ex.

The ex-girlfriend who couldn't get over Sam. Leah had seen it in Emily's eyes, the flash of annoyance or anger when Leah would come around, that she tried to cover up with fake friendliness. Which wasn't often, Leah tried to avoid Sam and Emily as much as she could. But they seemed to be everywhere, everywhere she went they were there. Shopping for her mom and Emily would be there. Cookouts or tribe meetings they would be there, looking at each other lovingly. And if they weren't in her sight, they were in her ears. Leah's mom loved to talk about the future Uleys.

How could her mother be so heartless to basically rub it in Leah's face that she was alone? That Emily had took her place as Sam's girl. How could life be such a cruel bitch? Leah picked up a gray rock beside her and tossed it over the edge. She heard as it plopped into the dark water below. She leaned forward to peek over the cliff. It was a far fall down. Maybe even deadly. Leah stood up, stepping closely to the edge.

The height looked so tempting, maybe if she could just… The crunch of leaves alerted her, breaking her from her train of thought. She took a sniff of the air as the footsteps continued to come closer. Jacob. She could smell him and hear the rhythmic beat of his heart. "What are you doing Leah?" His husky voice traveling to her ears. She shivered slightly at the tone of his voice.

Leah had always tolerated Jacob as Billy's little son. But he was far from little now. As she turned around, he confirmed her thoughts. He stood almost seven feet tall, and amazingly muscular. Leah shook her head and returned back to his question. "None of your business, Black." she said lowly. No one cared about her, well Seth did but not as much now that he had imprinted.

"Well it looks like you are thinking about going over." Jacob said continuing toward her. Jacob had never really thought of Leah to be the suicidal type, but she definitely looked like it now. And he knew why, the news of Sam and Emily eloping had spread like wild fire throughout the rez. And he was sure Leah had heard about it. She squared her slumping shoulders as he stood beside her.

Her brown eyes were red and puffy from what looked like she had been crying. "Have you been crying Leah?" Leah frowned up at the massive boy with black eyes. "No. And if I hear about this from anyone else, I will kill you with my bare hands. Do you understand me?" She growled. The last thing Leah need was for everybody knowing about the tears she had shed for her pain. She was embarrassed enough.

"Ok, I won't say anything. But are you okay Leah?" Jacob asked. He had never been friends with Leah, but that didn't mean he didn't care about her. "There is nothing wrong with me. Don't you have a leech-lover to cry over?" Leah spat back at Jacob. His tall frame would be intimidating to others but not her.

Jacob winced, as her words stung him. Bella had made the decision to marry that rich bloodsucker. And everyone knew how upset he was over it. He still loved Bella, even though she had cruelly dumped him for her leech boyfriend. He had spent months with her, helping her get over him after he left with the rest of his mosquito pack. All the time and love he had spent on her left him exhausted and alone. Bella had basically drained him dry of emotions.

"I'm done crying over someone who doesn't love me. And you should be too." Jacob told Leah. Sam cared about Leah but he didn't love her. All his love was for Emily. Hell, any other pack member could tell you that.

Leah scowled up at Jacob. Who was he to tell her to basically suck it up? He had spent the last 2 months moping around for Bella 'the stupid leech lover'. The bitch had basically said 'fuck you' to Jacob and ran off to marry mind-raping Edward. He was in no way, shape, or form to give her advice on anything.

"This is coming from Jacob, the lone wolf obsessed with a stupid human girl. You really don't have any room to talk." Leah said, looking at the tall guy in front of her. "But I have sense enough to try to move on. You should try it too. Sam has moved on happily if you haven't noticed. He is perfectly content with out you and you know it Leah." Jacob knew that his words were harsh, but you had to be harsh and straight forward with Leah, if not she would win the argument or end it.

Leah took a double take at Jacob. Had he really said those words to her? "Jacob you don't think I see them. I know he is happy with Emily. Everyone sees that, I'm not fucking blind." Leah saw and felt Sam and Emily's love every time she had the displeasure of being around them. It was disgusting, vile but she was insanely jealous. "I'm not saying you don't see them. I'm saying that, don't you think its time to try to move on?" Jacob looked down at her, stepping carefully closer. If he wasn't cautious, Leah would bolt the hell out of here before he could reason with her.

"Move on? What do you think I've been doing for the past year? All I have been doing is trying to move on. But how the hell can I do that when they are everywhere, rubbing their eternal love in my face. I can't even escape them when I'm in my own damn house. How the hell am I supposed to move on?" Leah's irritation was building. Did Jacob think she was just sailing through life gracefully? She thought. Leah spent every minute trying to get over Sam and live her life. But she couldn't do that, she was stuck in La Push. The place where her life had begun and so tragically ended.

Jacob looked intently at Leah. He knew exactly what she was talking about. Anyone could see the favoritism that Sue had for Emily. It almost seemed like Emily was Sue's daughter not Leah. "Leah, I'm just saying try. Sam is not the only man alive; there are other guys besides him. Leah you just have to look." Jacob said almost pleading. Leah spent all her time being torn up about Sam that she didn't see anyone else. She didn't see him.

"Jacob there is no one else to look for. Sam was supposed to be everything, he was everything. No one knows how it feels to have someone you love just snatched away from you." Leah said quietly, softening her voice. "I do know how that feels Leah. Bella ran off with a guy who abandoned her in the woods. But she still ran back to him, without hesitation. Not a single glance back at me." Jacob replied, the pain in his chest throbbing from saying Bella's name.

"But can you just try, to see someone else. Just try." Jacob said pleading, trying to connect his eyes with Leah. Leah looked up at the begging Jacob. She saw for the first time that he was hurting just like her. Maybe even worse. Sam had imprinted on Emily without a choice but Bella had chosen Edward over Jacob. His pleading eyes seemed to offer something tempting, an opportunity. An opportunity to try to love through the pain.

She knew now what Jacob was hinting at. He wanted her to see him. He wanted the same thing as her, to be loved and wanted even if for a short time.

"Jacob, what you're asking for I don't think I can give." Leah shook her head. She couldn't give the last sliver of her heart just to have it broken. It happened once and she couldn't do that again. She couldn't take that again.

Jacob leaned down so he could meet Leah's eyes. The sad brownness of them made his heart ache. They could help each other, care for each other so that they could move on. They both needed to be loved, to feel something other than pain. "Just try. I'm not asking for much, just to try." He whispered close to Leah.

Leah nodded slowly, stepping closer to Jacob. It couldn't hurt just to try. They moved closer to each other, neither one of them breathing. Jacob moved in until he could feel Leah's lips. Their softness and warmth was gone as quickly as it had appeared. Jacob opened his eyes to see Leah standing a few feet away from him, a fresh set of tears on her face.

Leah couldn't take kissing Jacob, letting him in would only hurt them both. But it did feel good to kiss him. It had sprung forward a strange batch of feelings that startled the last piece of her broken heart. "I don't know if this will work Jacob. There are things in me that you can't fix, no one can fix." Jacob step forward and cautiously wrapped his arms around Leah's body.

Leah gave in to the warmth of Jacob, done fighting. She let the tears roll down her face into Jacob's shirt. She was done trying to keep up her harsh exterior; she was done trying to be strong willed. It was killing her. "I'm broken Jacob. Miserably, hopelessly broken." She sobbed into his black shirt.

Jacob tightened his arms around her. He was feeling the same thing, he felt it everyday. Pain, loss, anger. He knew all to well what she was feeling. But he knew they could help each other feel something more, love.

"Leah, I know. We are both broken together."


Hope you liked it, I have never written a Leah/Jacob story but I just had a little idea about one.
