Now I sat at the kitchen table my same old bitter self listening to Emily talk about her wedding. I was so close to snapping at Emily as she talked when the smell hit my nose. The smell of vampire and for once I was happy to be smell it.
"I'm bringing a date to the wedding" I said and as I spoke everyone there fell silent and shocked looks covered their faces. Even Seth looked shocked beyond belief.
Everyone was here looking at me, the entire of Sam's pack was here and same with mine. Even Jake was here after pulling himself away from Nessie.
Emily was the first to recover and was just happy I wasn't being bitter and bitchy at this second.
"Who is it" she asked and then everyone's eyes were on me. I breathed in. I could smell him on the other side of the door, it was now or never.
"Jasper Hale" and at that second he opened the front door of Emily's house and everyone's heads turned to look over at him.
"You want to bring a Leech to my wedding" Sam said almost yelling at me the anger clear in his voice.
I hadn't been expecting anything less from Sam and I swear Paul was about to phase right in his seat but I knew if I wanted my way I wasn't going to be able to yell at any of them.
"These blood suckers are not stepping foot into the reserve no matter what" shot Paul before I could reply. I swallowed hard as I fought the erg to yell back out him.
"Emily said I could bring anyone I wanted" I said calmly keeping my voice level as I stared at Sam.
I wouldn't let any of them yelling get to me but I think that had more to do with Jasper being here than myself control.
"No! You are not having a Leech at my wedding, Paul is right. No vampires in the reserve" he said as if he was still able to order me around and so I choice to do something very un-Leah like. I looked innocently at Emily putting on my best sad look.
"But Em, you said I could bring anyone I wanted" I said pleadingly using my puppy dog eyes on her. I was a good actor and I knew I could get Emily to agree.
After a few moments, our eyes locked together Emily smiled at me.
"Of course you can bring Jasper as your date, cant she Sam" Emily said looking at Sam because she knew he would do anything to make her happy.
He sighed as they stared lovingly at each other.
At any other time this would be breaking my heart and I would run swearing and yelling from the house but I even smile happily at them.
"Yes, she can have Jasper come to the wedding" he said hugging Emily, kissing her lightly on the head.
I looked up at Jasper and he smiled comfortingly at me and I felt ok.
Not great, but ok.
The rest of the night went past quietly with Jasper by my side.
After saying goodbye to Jake I went to our cars where Seth and Jasper stood talking.
The view made me smile.
Seth was a very understanding and caring kid even to vampires, as I walked over Seth left Jasper and walked over to me.
"Keys Lee" he said holding his hand out for them. I just raised my eyes brow at him.
"Why" I asked.
"Jasper said you're going in his car and someone needs to take the car home" he said.
I sighed.
I had no idea what was going on but I put the keys in Seth's hand anyway. But I didn't feel so bad not knowing I thought before walking over to Jasper.
"Want to get in" he asked from the other side of his car.
"Where are we going" I asked as we talked over the roof of the car.
I had asked the question knowing that really I had nowhere else to go anyway.
"Dinner. You're still hungry" he said. It was true, I was, but it was still a little weird.
Though what part of today hadn't been, so I opened the passenger seat door and climbed in.
His smell wasn't unbearable in the car as we drove out of the reserve towards Port Angeles.
He pulled out my chair for me as we were being seated in a little restaurant.
I held back a laugh.
Gentlemen vampires? But instead of yelling that the fact he was a leech I took the seat.
Jasper ordered us two bowls of pasta after changing his mind a few times. As the man walked off I turned to him.
"You don't eat Pasta" I said as more of a question to why he ordered some.
"Is one bowl of Pasta going to fill you up" he asked.
He was right, no. As a werewolf I do eat a lot of food.
One pasta probably wasn't going to fill me up that's why he had brought two.
It was kind of nice.
We ate dinner, well I ate and we talked.
"You were in the army" I said surprised before eating another fork full of pasta.
"American Civil War" he said watching me as I ate.
I had kind of gotten used to him watching as I eat.
"How old were you when you joined" I asked after swallowing.
"18, lived in Texas before that" he said.
I chewed my food before swallowing.
I don't really remember how we got to this convocation but after we went through our favorite things.
You know Favorite colour, Favorite song, Favorite animal, our favorite place in the world.
The stories on our pasts had started.
"When did it happen" I asked. I don't know why I care but as I spent time with Jasper he was becoming more and more human to me.
I never thought it would happen but it was.
He looked surprised that I asked but after a few seconds answered anyway.
"1863 two years after I joined the army" he said looking away from me.
I felt bad and I knew this was my emotion.
He felt like a monster and part of it was my fault.
The number of times I had told every one of them they were, I had lost count.
"I'm sorry" the words had left my mouth before I was conscious I was saying them but I knew what I felt.
I let my emotions take over me because I had asked Jasper to let me have my own emotions for the rest of tonight.
They were mine after all.
I reached across the table and placed my hand on his.
His cold hand soothed the heat of my own.
"You're not a monster Japer" I said and the surprise wasn't just on his face but on mine own to.
"Are you sick Leah" he asked a smile forming on his face.
"I don't know but if being sick feels like this then I should have been a long time ago" I said and I laughed with Jasper.
It was a different laugh, something I hadn't done in a while.
It wasn't a bitter one because I'd insulted someone or hurt someone's feelings but because I was happy and it was because of him.
After dinner he had coned me into going and seeing a movie.
I don't think I had never laughed so hard before, and then he had dropped me home again.
I went to bed with a smile on my face for the first time since Sam and I broke up.
