Chapter 2

Bella's POV

"Well, well Bella Swan." Leah stood there in a basic shorts and t-shirt and covered in dirt but as usual somehow looked like she had just stepped out of a magazine. Her hair a little shorter than I remembered and she looked like she had aged one maybe two years. Not the 7 that I had plastered all over my features. She looked me up and down with a glint in her eyes.

'This will be fun' I stood, sighed and braced myself for the full impact that was Leah Clearwater.

"Where have you been hiding your skinny little ass?"

"Here and there, London mainly" I answered stronger than I thought possible but avoiding any eye contact all the same. They always say you shouldn't look an angry dog in the eyes; I'm going to go with the same theory.

"Hmmm, and what exactly brings you back?"

'She's being very calm,' confusion filled my face as I looked up slowly to try and figure out whether I was really having this conversation. She may have sounded calm but her ridged body language, with folded arms spoke a different story. When my gaze finally met hers I felt myself take a step back. Her eyes looked dark and were piercing right through me like daggers.

"I...erm..." I stuttered losing my previous strength

"she came to visit her father, see some old friends...you know the usual" I turned to see Logan step up beside me, wrapping a protective arm around my shoulders. He knew me well enough to know when I'm quickly drowning in my own kind of hell.

"Who the hell are you?" Now that sounds more like the Leah I expected hearing her hate filled reply.

"Me? I'm Logan or Doctor or to some Dr love... depends who you're asking" he answered with a smirk causing Leah to sneer and splutter in disgust.

"You have got to be kidding me! So what are you, her latest pet?" she accused.

"That's rich... isn't that a little, pot kettle black pup?"

'Oh crap'

Leah's face then displayed a variety of emotions, confusion, disgust, betrayal and finally landed on damn right furious.

"WHAT THE FUCK SWAN?"

Of course Logan then did the worst thing possible and just simply laughed in the girls face. She stood barely a foot from him, shaking head to toe with anger. The more the convulsions ran over her, the harder he laughed, there was actually tears falling down his cheeks.

"Logan, stop" I whispered nudging him with my arm

"Why? This is hilarious, look at her; she thinks she's all high and fucking mighty. Yeah so a guy fucked you over and you're an overgrown jack rustle but seriously you don't know me, you don't really know Izzy here so you can take your judgemental opinions and dirty looks and shove them up your ass"

Logan stood there bold as ever. He meant every word and he was far from scared of her or the infuriated look on her face. There was no going back now and he was never one to back down, there to stand by my side no matter what, no matter how hurt he got. I grimaced pushing back the memory that threatened to creep up on me.

"You... you" she was actually speechless, and then of course she turned back to me; the weak link.

"You told him!" it wasn't a question it was a statement. Guilt washed over me and I bowed my head.

"You stupid little girl! I knew you was never to be trusted, you would happily trample all over us the way you did Jacobs heart. You disgust me. Look at you standing there with your guard. Same old Bella, different man, different day but same old Isabella Swan" she spat viscously but her rant was far from finished "Please don't tell me you think you can just walk back here and everyone's going to just welcome you back with open arms? HA! You do, don't you! You're so damn predictable. So come on why the change in man this time Bella, where's the freak and his little band of dead men?"

"There not, he's not...I'm not...I didn't mean to!"

"Oh come on Bella, don't play the pathetic little bit with me it's not going to stick. You act like you've been through hell, do the crying bit followed by the 'it's so hard to be me bit' it's so old."

I felt her words hit me like a ton of bricks. Leah was never one to mince her words; in fact she was the master of picking the exact ones to do the most damage. I felt like each one was hanging above my head pushing me further and further into the ground, into the grave she was readily burying me in. As I felt the tears prickly in my eyes, Logan's strong arm tightened around me and I felt myself being pulled backwards. I looked up to see Logan directly in front of me squaring up to Leah.

"Right bitch, you're going to back the fuck off. Right. Now! She had her reasons for staying away; she had them for telling me. None of which are any of your business" He shouted.

It suddenly dawned on me that no one else had said a word, not even my dad. I looked up to see him stood at the front door with Seth and Sue. He looked furious and was staring right at Leah, it seemed like he was ready to fly over and start putting her in her place but Seth was keeping him put with a hand on his shoulder.

"Really? You got balls I'll give you that" Leah laughed evilly "But seriously little boy, do one, I have business to sort with that" she answered venom lacing each word.

"No chance" Logan stood tall and broad in front of her and showed no sign of moving. "I've dealt and lived through worse than you girly" Logan looked her over "You would be a piece of cake."

Leah scoffed "Really? Like what... some big boys took your sweeties one day and you didn't pee your pants"

"Yeah... that's it... how did you guess" he replied sarcastically "We are leaving now, to go inside, to BELLA'S house," and with that final statement Logan turned and grabbed my hand towing me towards the house.

"Hello Mr Swan, I'm Logan Day" He stood there like the previous hadn't even happened and stretched out a hand in front of him. My dad stood there a little bewildered in the change of situation but shaking himself out of his stupor reached out and shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you," he finally muttered before turning his attention to me

"Bella," he sighed with a smile "You've come home?"
