Third Person's POV
It had only been a couple of days since the new-born war and everyone was meeting at Sam's and Emily's house. It was yet another pack meeting and it was mandatory, or she wouldn't be going at all. Leah hated that all the pack meetings were at the very house that she help Sam pick out for her and him. But, now Emily was living her dream inside of her house. But the worst part for Leah was having to watch it happen in front of her. Leah hated it, and she hated all the pitiful looks the her cousin would give her right after kissing her ex-fiance. Leah hated herself for letting it hurt her so much, and the boys did help. No her pack brothers only made it worst. The only one she had in her corner was Seth. He was the only one who stood up for her, and understood why she behaved the way she did. So as you can imagine sitting in Sam's livingroom with the others was the last place she wanted to be.
She was sitting on the couch while Seth sat on the floor next to her resting on her legs. She was running her fingers through his hair trying to focus on him, and not Emily and Sam who were hugged up in the corner by the kitchen talking intimately with each other. Jared, Paul, Embry, and Quil sat at the table eating muffins, while Brady and Collin were watching tv. No one paid her any mind, and that's how she wanted it. That was until Jake limped in, and all eyes landed on him. Emily ran and gave him a hug asking if he needed anything while all the guys, including Seth, ran to welcome him back. Leah stayed where she was, and this seemed to be the wrong thing to do because Paul was quick to attack.
"Damn Leah, your such a bitch! Jake got hurt trying to save your ass the least you could do is check on him, or are you so heartless that you don't care." Paul yelled while he stormed over to her.
But, unknown to all, Leah did care, and she visited Jake every night to make sure he was okay. She even asked Billy about him, but made him keep it a secret. She didn't want anyone to know how bad she felt, or they might see pass the walls she had to put up to protect herself from getting hurt again. And even though his words cut her deep, she did what she did best and turned her pain into anger. She would never let them see her hurt, or as weak, or broken.
Leah stood up to yell back at Paul. She would not show him or anyone else fear. "Fuck off Paul! He's clearly fine or he wouldn't be here. Try using that small ass brain of," but before she could finish Sam had stepped in. And she just rolled her eyes, and sat back down.
"That's enough you two." Sam said shaking his head. He then he turned to Jake with a smile on his face, "Jacob were glad your back on your feet. Now come on everyone lets start this meeting. Emily and I have some great news." Sam said this cheerfully as he and the rest of the pack headed into the livingroom. As soon as the words left his lips Leah braced herself for the pain.
Standing in th middle of the livingroom Sam started the meeting. First he said how proud he was of them for their work in the new-born battle, and gave an extra shout out to Jake for saving Leah, and of course everyone looked to her but all she did was lift an eyebrow at the statement. Then he moved on to the normal pack stuff.
"Jake still can't patrol for a couple more days, but I still want everyone else to keep up the good work. And to celebrate Jake feeling better we are going to have a bon fire. Well... It will be about celebrating two things." Just then Emily comes out of the kitchen and goes into Sam's waiting arms. They both have the biggest smiles on their faces, and Leah just knows this is the part that will kill her. Sam looks at his pack and then says, "Em is pregnant, and we are getting married in three months." All at once everyone are on their feet congratulating them and cheering. Well all but Leah, Seth, and Jake. Leah can't seem to move or speak, and Seth and Jake both look at her with worry in their eyes. It takes everyone a few minutes to calm down. After everyone is sitting again Emily looks at Leah as if she is waiting for something. What that could be Leah doesn't know. But now she can feel all their eyes on her. And she's trying her best not to move, because honestly she doesn't know what she'll do. It's after Emily speaks that her mind is finally made up.
"Well Leah, what do you think?" Emily asked with hope in her eyes, and seeing Leah's confuse face she asked again. "Will you be my Maid of Honor, we always said we would be there for each other, so what do you think?" Emily states this in a pleading tone.
Leah stands and says, "What do I think? What do I think," with each word her voice seems to grow angrier. "I think you're a selfish bitch for even asking me that! We're not kids any more! Hell, were not even friends anymore! I don't even plan on coming to the wedding!" Time seemed to stand still after her little speech. That was until Emily run to her room crying. Sam ran after her, but not before sending Leah a death glare that made her shiver. Leah heard the other's quiet muttered words about her being, "a bitter harpy and a jealous bitch," but none of them said it to her face. Until Paul was once again in her face yelling.
"You jealous hateful bitch. You just can't stand the fact that Sam doesn't want you. You had to mess up a big moment for them. You just couldn't let her be happy for five seconds could you. She was nice enough to ask you to be a part of the wedding even knowing how bad you want her man, and what do you do, you throw it in her face." He stops to and everyone thinks he's done, but before Leah can react he starts up again. "But you are really jealous because you will NEVER be a mother! You can't even have kids, and thank God for that, because you're a evil bitch who would probably kill the kid." When Paul is done everyone waits for Leah to scream back at him, or at least hit him. But what no one saw coming was Leah breaking down in tears and running out the door in to the rain. The boys just stood there looking at the open door not knowing what to do. Paul sat down pleased with himself. He felt it was about time someone made her cry like she was always making Emily cry. And most of the pack followed Paul and sat down watching tv as if their pack sister wasn't out there alone.
Jake sat back down to, but for some reason he couldn't shake the feeling that something really bad was about to happen, so he just keep looking at the open door.
It took Seth a few minutes, but he finally was able to pull himself together. He just couldn't believe what had just played out in front of his eyes. He glared at Paul calling him a bastard after he ran after Leah, but he was too late because she was already gone by then. Seth gave up his search after a half and hour. He couldn't find her and the rain made it impossible to pick up on her scent, so he headed home to wait for her. He wouldn't be going back to Sam's house unless he had no other choice. Seth was mad at his pack and Emily for not realizing how painful that meeting was for his sister. He felt they should have pulled her to the side and talked to her alone. Gave her time to process the situation before telling everyone the way they did. But more than that he was angry at himself for not going after her sooner. He knew Leah better than anyone, and he knew when his sister was upset she didn't think of her actions before hand. He only hoped she would be home soon so he could help and comfort her, but Leah didn't come home that night or the next day.
