Disclaimer: ideas and characters from twilight are Stephanie meyer's.
It was early morning and Leah had been walking along the beach for hours. Her light brown hair was blowing out behind her and her thoughts were reflective. She was so absorbed in her musings that she didn't notice Jacob until she bumped into him.
"Oh, er, hello there Jacob" she said, feeling flustered. So many feelings were coursing through her. Surprise, excitement and a strange sort of intense, glowing happiness. These feelings scared her. She was used to being angry, she could just about deal with being bitter and depressed. But happy? Being happy was where everything bad started, feeling like this around a man led to unbearable heartbreak, it led to an endless period of blackness. Being happy led to depression.
"Hello Leah" Jacob smiled. They stood in silence for a few moments, Leah struggling with her feelings.
"I always think the beach looks beautiful at this time of day" Jacob mused.
"Yes, I suppose so" Leah replied although she hadn't been able to appreciate the beauty of anything since Sam had broken her heart. Leah had now got over Sam. In fact, she hadn't thought of him for weeks she realised with a surge of joy.
"You never change do you Leah?" Jacob asked with a fond smile which made Leah's heart race against her chest.
"What do you mean?" she asked breathlessly, feeling confused.
"Well, you're over Sam now, and you're not the bitter little harpy you used to be" Jacob said with a teasing smile. "And yet, you still can't appreciate beauty."
"I can appreciate some kinds of beauty" she said without thinking.
"what kinds of beauty?" Jacob asked, stepping closer to her, his eyes were smouldering. Leah was speechless but after a while of gazing into his eyes she managed to choke out "I'm sorry, I have to leave" and hurried off down the beach, her thoughts scrambled and tears threatening to overwhelm her.
She returned home having made a decision. She couldn't let her heart be ripped apart again, she couldn't cope with the pain, not again.
She would have to leave.
She packed her bags with a sinking heart but she was determined. She wouldn't go through this again, her and Jacob wouldn't work. It would be just another tragic love story.
Hope you enjoyed it!!
