EPOV

Running patrol on the same Tuesday night with Quil, Oh boy am I excited. Jumping out of my short I phase and am immediately hit with a wave of thoughts all about Claire, Claire, and Claire. "Dude keep it down I really don't want to dream of your girlfriend tonight kay?"

Hearing a mental chuckle I sigh, no point in telling him to stop. He never will unless you start a conversation with him.

"Hey what do you think about Jake breaking his imprint eh?"

Quil sighs, "I don't know how he did it. I would die without Claire-bear."

"Yeah I guess if I had one I would too. He told me he was just getting sick of her perfection."

"Me too but I- Dude look"

I looked to where he pointed to in his mind and see Leah and Jake walking up to her door. She is laughing. Leah, actually laughing "Whoa."

"Seriously! How the hell does Jake do that? Every single girl he hangs with no matter how…..miserable they are can't help but be happy it's like he has some mood changing power or something."

Quil laughed, "Maybe he stole it from the bony blonde-haired leech, what's his name?"

"I think it's like John or something like that I don't know maybe…..Jeff?"

"Maybe I could get them two together, they seem happy" I heard Quil think to himself

"You've got to be kidding! Leah and Jacob…that's like putting Paul and Emily together"

We both mentally shudder at the thought of Paul and Emily being romantic, EW.

"But dude think about it. They have a lot of the same experiences, both lost a parent, both phased when not expected to, both left behind in a love triangle, him with Bella and Edward her with Sam and Emily. C'mon they might actually work together."

Mentally rolling my eyes just for him to understand how ridiculous that sounds I add, "Yeah it might work, if Samuel doesn't smash his face in for even being how close he is to her now. I wonder where they just came from. Help me keep a mental tab out for that, will ya"?

I could feel Quil about to plead for me to help him, "Seriously they seem cute, and this could be fun, finding ways for us to get them to hook up, it would be an interesting project…please help me you know Leah better than anyone, you've slept with her."

I snort, "Yeah so has Paul why don't you go ask him?"

"Because you're my friend, and you're Jake's too. Leah wouldn't be miss perfect for him she would keep things interesting for him. For all you know their kid might just be your imprint in the making?"

I sigh, "In case you forgot Leah's Sterile."

I felt his guilt swell up inside him knowing it's a touchy subject for her, "Yeah sorry I forgot. Will you help me get them together? Please Embry?"

I knew I was going to regret this later, "Yeah sure I'll help you."

Quil smiles a devious wolfy grin, "Here's the plan."

LPOV

I opened my eyes and six giant chocolate colored ones stared back at me.

Kilee whispers to Kami, "She's awake. Now what?"

Kyle," RUNN!" I hopped out of bed chasing the horrible little mongrels out of my room and down the stairs where I came face to face with my mother.

"Leah, stop acting like a stupid child it's bad enough you can't hold down a job, you dress like a hooker, and hang around sweaty boys all the time the least you could do is do it maturely."

I quivered violently and stared at her burning holes into her irises, "You think I chose this life? Do you think I chose for my boyfriend to break up with me for my cousin, for my father to die and for me to become some giant wolf freak!" I shouted at her

"Of course not! But the least you could do is brush your hair!, put on some makeup!, wear better clothes!, try to make the best of what you have not the worst!" she shouted right back

"The worst of what I have is you, and Charlie. I love my life, these are the only clothes I can offard, I can't brush my hair because its too damn short and does no good, I can't hold down a job because I have to keep quitting so I can run patrol for my little brother Seth, Remember him! I run patrol for him so HE can sleep, so HE can hold down a job, so HE can support your ass because you and your replacement over here can't do anything!" I quivered more and more frequently just when Seth burst in the door and tried to dragged me out.

I stopped him and looked at him, "Don't Seth, don't." Jacob came bounding up the steps, "What happened."

That's when I broke down, "Well you just missed the last episode, my mother called me a hooker practically said i was useless and acted as though I chose this like for me, she yelled at me for having fun with the pups and I honestly don't know who she is anymore. sorry you missed the show Black maybe you can catch it next time."

I bolted down the steps ran into the forest faster than I knew I should in public and phased not bothering to strip first.

I didn't even realize he was following me until 5 minutes later when I heard him step on a twig. I had unphased a few minutes ago and stopped at the oak tree grabbing brady's big tee shirt and threw it over my head, I was just walking now, through the forest, through every terrain that cross me until I got to a river I knew was to deep for me to pass in human form but I didn't feel like phasing so I just sat at the edge of the river and wrapped my arms around my knees.

A few seconds later he sat silently by me. We both just sat there for what seemed to be hours but was probably only minutes. I was cold. I ran only at 104.2 degrees so I was still able to get cold. his heat was radiating off his body, his amazing body. So inviting, so welcoming I wanted to indulge myself in his warmth and lay there forev-

"I'm sorry Leah." His voice broke my train of daydream "What did you do?" I croaked my voice cracky because I had yelled so much and than almost cried. He laughed gently, "Nothing it was more of a comforting gesture to show I understood your pain." I closed my eyes and listened to the deep blue silk ribbon than flows infront of me and slowly answered, "Oh, Thankyou Jacob." "Sure sure." he said. I didn't even have to open my eyes to know he was smiling to himself, his 10 million dollar smile that I always envied.

A thought occured to me "How did you know to come to my place?" He shrugged, "Embry and Quil came up to me while I was walking around in teh forest and told me you needed me. So I came." I frowned, how the heck would Quil and Embry know I needed him, they weren't even there. Which I don't at all need Jacob Black In anyway, shape, or form, for the record. "Leah?" His deep voice spoke softly. "Yeah?" I asked "Look at me please?"

I looked at him and stared into his deep earnest eyes, lost in their complexity, the different colors. One who just glimpsed would see black but with the sunlight streaming through the trees and at his eyes they revealed goldenbrown sparks like embers in a night sky, all different. Some duller than others and some so bright they looked like actual Embers themselves. "Leah?" He spoke my name again making it sound much prettier than it really was. "Yes Jacob?" I asked wondering what he was about to do. "You're very beautiful you know that right?" he tilt his head to the side and my breath caught in my throat.

What the hell was he doing calling me beautiful, did he really think that, was he just saying it because I was sad? I looked down not wanting to reveal my confusion to him. He took my chin in his hand gently and said a little more forcefully now, "You know that don't you Leah?" "Why the hell does that matter." I croaked "Because i think you forgot that you were and that is wrong because you are." he said. "Well aren't you just so damn deep." I sneered, I just now noticed how much more close he had gotten to me in the last few minutes, our legs brushing sending a tingling sensation through my left leg. "Can you back off?." I said quietly not meaning it really just to see what he would to.

Before I realized what was happening Jacob smashed his mouth against my roughly making me go on my back his mouth glued to mine moving perfectly in harmony. All senses of cold were gone all i felt was Jacob his heat his very define muscles on my stomach. his legs inbetween mine. My arms slid around his neck pinning him to me, my leg slid up his back and we both moaned in harmony his tongue traced my bottom lip and I opened my mouth eagerly. I frowned as he pulled away and he smirked, "Do you still want me to 'back off'?" I bit my lip and look at his lips and he tenderly pressed them to mine again, Pressed them to mine lustfully.

During our kiss I realized. This was Jacob. My alpha. My little brothers Role Modle. On top of me, a guy 3 whole years younger than me a guy who I definatley should NOT be kissing right now.

I pushed him off of me and he stared at me confused i shook my head, "No, it isn't right. We can't, I can't, I can't...right now, I need to...go?" I spit out the last word as a question and ran off phasing in a matter of seconds leaving the best thing that has ever happened to me in a very long time behind me, next to the river of deep blue silk.
