Chapter 2:
Push and Pulls
Leah's POV:
Jacob sat me down on the couch before facing the others. While he gave out orders Sam, who I hadn't noticed was here, took a sobbing Emily home. Seth, who looked more broken then I had ever seen him, crawled next to me on the couch and wrapped a warm arm around my shoulders.
I zoned out and the next thing I knew Seth had fallen asleep leaning his heavy head on my shoulder. Jake had cleared the pack out but I could still hear Billy talking on the phone in the kitchen.
"Lee, I'm going to take Seth upstairs." Jake said looking me in the eyes before moving to put Seth over his should in a fireman carry. As his hand grazed mine an electric spark shot through my body and I let out a soft, shocked squeal. "You okay?"
I nodded and watched him carry my brother up the stairs. I waited a few moments before moving off the couch and following him.
I waited outside the door as Jacob deposited my brother on his bed. He smiled sadly at me as he exited the room and closed the door behind him.
"Are you doing okay?" He asked as he hugged me close to his body. It was a warm and comfortable embrace. I felt safe and for the first time in a long while truly happy.
"I will be," and on impulse I crashed my lips to his and pushed him back towards my room. He kissed me back and slowly I pushed his shirt up, and then he stopped me.
Jacob's POV:
To be honest I was happily surprised when Leah's lips crashed into mine. Since seeing her in the forest I had fought doing the same things. In her room though, I came to the quick conclusion it was too much too fast.
"Leah, stop it," I said putting distance between us and fixing my shirt in the process, "We can't do this."
"I get it," She said upset and pacing. "You don't want me; you're in love with Bella. You've always been in love with Bella."
I took three quick steps and kissed her gently before holding her close, "I do want you. I promise, God you're all I want. Bella is nothing compared to you." I said caressing her face before continuing gently. "Lee, your father just died, your mother ran off, and you found out you can morph into a wolf. You're upset and you're scared. We can't do this now, but I promise you that when things calm down we will. You will be mine, okay?"
"Okay," She agreed nodding and yawning.
"Get some sleep." I said leading her to the bed and watching her lay down.
"Stay with me?" She asked looking up at me, I froze. "I promise I'll be good, I just want you here."
I nodded climbing into the too small bed and wrapping my arms around her. "Sleep," I whispered into her dark, soft hair.
I listened to her breathing even out before I even considered closing my eyes. Holding her felt right and I realized there was nowhere else I'd rather be.
Morning came quickly and the sun soon flooded Leah's room. I carefully untangled myself letting her continue to sleep peacefully before heading downstairs.
"Morning son," My father said from the kitchen table where piles of paper were spread in front of him.
"Hey did you sleep?"
"No," He said with a sigh as I joined him at the table. "I was going through Harry's things, seeing if he left any instructions in the case of his passing."
"Did you find anything?"
"Enough. I'm going to go home and sleep a bit, and then I'll start on the arrangements. Sue is gone and Leah and Seth are too young to have to do this." He said looking into my eyes. "Anything you want to tell me about you and Leah?"
I got up and started pacing. "I don't know. Ever since seeing her after she phased I have a need to be need her. Could I have imprinted?"
"Unlikely considering you've seen her since you have become a wolf."
"I know it's just, weird." I sighed trying to explain it. "Could she have imprinted on me and that's why I need to be near her?"
"Again not likely, if she had imprinted it would only be her with the constant need to be near you. You would be unaffected like the rest of the imprints." He wheeled himself away from the table heading for the door. "I'm going to speak to Old Quil later about Harry's funeral and Leah becoming a wolf herself. I'll see if he knows anything more, we've never had a situation like this."
"Thanks," I said following him. "I think I'll stay here for a while. Make sure their okay."
"I wouldn't expect anything less." Billy said with a smirk as he left the house.
I returned to the kitchen and rummaged through the fridge. They'd be starving by the time they woke up being new wolves and all.
I worked on scrambling a whole carton of eggs and have a loaf of toast as Seth came downstairs.
"Morning," He said sleepily sitting at the table.
"Hey, are you hungry?"
He shrugged and I continued cooking, "Hey Jake?"
"Yeah," I asked throwing bacon on.
"Are you in love with my sister?" I froze and turned to stare at him. "You wouldn't let her go last night, and I just want to make sure she's okay. Sam messed her up."
"I'd never hurt her." I said honestly looking into Seth's eyes answering his first question silently. He nodded.
"If you do I'll kick your ass, but it'll be nothing compared to what she does to you."
I barked out a laugh setting the food on the table as Leah came in. She looked amazing in a pair of shorts and a tank, her hair still a mess.
She hugged Seth from behind before sitting at the table. I placed a plate of food in front of here as Seth dug in.
"I'm not hungry," She claimed.
"I know that's not true," I said sitting next to her.
"I can't," She said broken looking sadly at the picture of her father hanging on the wall.
"Try, please." I begged handing her a piece of toast. She took a bite and I kissed the top of her head as I moved to get the juice from the fridge. It was at least a start.
AN: Please review! Thanks!
