(A/N: Could it be? A blackwater chaptered story? Yeah, it is. It's not going to be very long, probably around ten chapters. And the chapters aren't going to be very long because I like writing shorter chapters. I'll have to see how fast I'm able to update this. This is post BD, Leah's POV. I have no idea where the title came from, it just popped into my head. Let me know if anyone is OOC, because I think I might have written Leah wrong. Enjoy!)
Asymmetrical
Chapter One
"How I wish you could see the potential,
The potential of you and me.
It's like a book elegantly bound but,
In a language that you can't read.
Just yet."-Death Cab for Cutie, I will Possess your Heart
Jacob looks so happy with Nessie that it kills me. I can't tear my eyes away from them, even though it hurts to look at them.
Jacob's playing a board game with Nessie, and Nessie's winning. Jacob's smiling like he does only when he's with Nessie. The corners of his eyes crinkle up, and he looks like he could imagine no place he'd rather be.
Nessie's long curls fall over her face as she plays with Jacob. She is laughing, a sound that makes me sick to my stomach. Jacob seems to be enjoying it, though. Of course. Why wouldn't he? She's his imprint.
I don't even know why I come over here-to the Cullen house. I guess it beats running patrols, which is my other option, even though we know that nothing's out there.
I pick at a button on the perfect couch. With a little force, the button comes off and I smirk. Ha. The couch isn't so perfect now.
"You lost again, Jacob," Nessie's high pitched voice comes through her giggles.
"Yeah," he says, still grinning like an idiot. "I did."
My hand clenches tighter on the arm of the couch. "I'm going to get something to eat," I say to no one in particular, heading to the kitchen.
The kitchen is always full of food, which I find strange because the vampires don't eat any of it. What a waste of food.
I look around for a few minutes before deciding on an apple. As I take a big, juicy bite of it, Seth appears with Emmett behind him.
"Hey, Leah," Seth says. "You want to watch the football game with us?"
"Not really," I tell him, taking another bite of the apple.
"Fine," Seth mutters, grabbing a bag of potato chips on his way out of the kitchen.
I stand in silence, chomping on my apple. I can still hear Nessie's laughter, and it causes me to lose my appetite. The apple taste like cardboard now.
While I search for a trash can in the large kitchen, the blond female leech comes in and greets me with a "Hello, Leah."
"Hey, bloodsucker Barbie," I say, not making eye contact with her.
Rosalie ignores my insults and keeps talking. "I don't know if you know this, but my niece is not going to be with that dog as long as I'm here."
"Your point?" I ask, confused.
"You would be a much better match for Jacob," Rosalie says.
I have to bite my tongue to keep from agreeing as she continues.
"And we're going to make Jacob see that."
"Um, I don't know if anyone's explained the imprinting thing to you yet," I point out, "But he doesn't see me in that way. He never will. Nessie is his soul mate."
"Oh, I know about imprinting," Rosalie shrugs like it's no big deal. "But Nessie doesn't yet. And I have the perfect person to set her up with. And after Nessie leaves Jacob, there's going to have to be someone to pick up the pieces of Jacob's heart. That'll be you."
A small, evil smile slips onto my face. "I like it," I mutter, not realizing that I'm agreeing with a leech. I can only think about finally getting Jacob.
"You'll help me, then?" Rosalie asks. "Good. You know, Leah, I think we're going to be great friends." She flits gracefully out of the room before I have time to react to her comment about us being friends.
It takes me a few minutes before I realize that I have just teamed up with a leech. A leech that wants Nessie with Jacob even less than I do, but still a leech.
What have I done?
(A/N: I have a feeling Rosalie and/or Leah were OOC. Let me know if you think so. And let me know if you see any typos. And…just let me know what you think of the story. Reviews are love!)
