Author's note: Oh I'm truly disappointed on the amount of reviews that I got considering the amount of alerts! I'm not expecting a 4 pages review people! It can be a simple: I like it, that's all to make my mini me happy :) I really hope this time it changes. I'll be updating between 10 and 15 days. And I hope the next chapters will be longer, because I have the rest of the story most figured out. Oh just for your information. Leah is supposed to attend the 9am class and 7pm. Just a little something that I slipped on the last chapter.
Dedicatory: To my friends, the true ones :)
Ch.2- Who's there?
-Leah
I was running sown at First Beach and heard my name, but I couldn't turn around, couldn't look who was calling me. I only knew that it was pouring, and even as a wolf I was freezing.
I kept running for a long time, trying to find somewhere
PENDIENTE
When I woke up I still felt the tears running down my cheeks and then I blacked out.
Almost too soon I noticed the sun rising up in my window and finally decided to take a shower and get ready for my first yoga lesson. My mom was baking multiberry muffins, my favorites where the cranberry ones and I was already craving for them.
-Morning Leah, how is my favorite sister in the whole world?- This was the new in-love Seth talking, he "discovered" that I was so sweet and deserved a love like the one he and Sarah shared now.
-Morning- I answered
-leah you won make any new friends at your classes with that attitude-
Oh god, she sounded just like if it was my first day of kindergarten; it's not like having friends outside La Push was even an option thanks to my condition; it was pointless I could never be completely honest so forget about it.
-Mom I'm not taking Yoga lessons to make friends! I just need to learn how to relax and stop phasing. She just nodded and let it drop.
I hurried down my breakfast and got ready to get out when I heard my mom sigh, she was at the telephone.
-No, it's alright Emily, I have a ton of things to do at home, please don't worry; see you soon bye
I knew for sure that home was impeccable, there was no work to be done here. My mom had plans, Emily couldn't help her and now she was pretending that everything was fine.
-Mom, I'm leaving now
-oh Leah, yes, sure honey, enjoy it and have fun- she answered distractedly while picking up the dishes.
-Mom, quit the façade, tell me, do you need something? I heard you talking to Emily on the phone.
-Oh I'm sorry; it's just that, well Charlie … and Bill of course invited me to go to Port Angeles for lunch, and since Emily had some errands from the wedding there well; but you don't worry about it. It's nothing. – how it's possible that moms can be so good discovering lies from their kids, and then so awful at lying themselves?
-C'mon mom, I'll give you a ride to Charlie's don't worry. – to see her face get an instant bright was somehow . I was still struggling with Dad's death; it was actually hard to know that he no longer gave me a wink when I arrived home from school. He was the only one that understood my Sam-drama; and then gave him a lesson he still doesn't forget.
But above all my mom deserved to have someone like Charlie; and let's face it; he would starve without her.
When I finally arrived to the Yoga place the Stanley girl was all frantic on the phone, clearly pleading to someone, jeez and they say I'm needy!. I was still 15 min. early so I decided to check my locker and the sauna; and then I heard the entire gossip.
-Oh I'm so worried for Savanah- said a blonde tiny girl to her friend that could easily be bella's sister for the resemblance.
-I know, she's so excited about her baby; can you imagine what she's been trough all these years? In vitro is so expensive by the way!
-Oh I'm just hoping that they give her classes to my man
-For god's sake, he's not your man besides, he doesn't date- said the brunette full of resentment
-Just because he didn't fall for your "charm", doesn't mean he can resist all this- answered SEÑALANDO all her body.
Ok this was too much gossip for me. I actually got worried about what was going to happen to my classes, since I got the 9am and Savanah is supposedly my instructor. Well let's leave that to Stanley girl.
I found the classroom quickly and took one of the mats that were for the community; yesterday I didn't bought one, because I thought it was unnecessary, but seaming that I'll be here every day and every night and also practicing during weekends (yeah I'm in kind of a hurry to be peaceful, as stupid as that may seem…) I'm definitely getting one for myself today.
I took the place right behind to where the instructor is supposed to be. It reminded me of high school. I was always that kind of girl, sited on the very front, asked and answered most of the questions, somehow a nerd; but the truth is that I've always loved school.
After a couple of minutes after someone that looked very much like the Stanley girl, probably her mom. She looked nervous but had a big fake smile anyways. Isn't she supposed to be like a very calmed and relaxed person? Did yoga worked at all?
-Good morning, I'm Aphrodite, as many of you know-she said while getting deep breaths and looking at everyone- I am happy and sad about the news that I have for you students; your instructor Savanah is now out of her critical state; but her pregnancy is at risk so she wont be coming back for the next 4 months at least. – I could definitely hear the gossip and complains from the group, apparently she was a good instructor- but you have nothing to worry; our dear Alison is going to take the 9am and I'll be giving the 8am one; at least for now, so if you know anyone from that class let them know.- When she finished she talked briefly with the one that I assumed was Alison who still didn't look very happy about her change. I knew there were 3 instructors; but I didn't give it much thought; mainly because Alison took over for the class and since I was the only new one it was hard to keep up.
My sharp senses didn't help a lot to concentrate; I could perfectly hear the telephone ringing, Stanley eating some chips, Aphrodite arranging her nail's appointment, and someone on the other classroom alone; this peaked my curiosity because he or she was just breathing and humming very lightly. Somehow that sound just calmed me a lot, much more than the "nature sound" soundtrack we had here. I just synchronized my breathing to his heart, somehow I just assumed it was a he, when I didn't noticed I followed the scent and he just seemed to have the entire forest rubbed on his skin.
-Ah miss, miss?- I didn't noticed that the class finished already and I was half sleep on the lotus posture.
-Oh I'm so sorry- wow those were my words?
- Oh don't worry, it's normal to feel so relaxed that you fall asleep; the meditation is very important, but remember that is a life style also.
Yeah yeah I wasn't even listening the only thing I could think about was finding him. I didn't know who he was, but it certainly had an incredible smell. I was just curious, because normally people didn't smell like forest or rain, but he did, whit something that may be wood but not properly, more like firewood but in a pleasant and spicy way. Where my senses going wild? Or was my imagination?
Anyway I traced the scent to a big room with Japanese doors and suddenly I got really anxious, even my hands started to tremble but it wasn't the same that I felt when I was going to phase it was pure anxiety. I just needed to slide that door. But I couldn't control myself. I took the handle and debated between doing it fast or really slow, open it entirely or just a bit, to take a look and walk away or talk to him and … I just didn't know.
An entire minute passed and I was still standing with my hand on the handle with all my internal debates and suddenly I heard his footsteps, he was walking towards the door and I was still here like a total creep. I wanted to run away as much as I wanted to stay.
But I never got to know my decision, because it was made for me when he opened the door and raised his gaze.
