And I do believe it's true
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
But if the silence takes you
Then I hope it takes me too
So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere-Death Cab for Cutie, Soul Meets Body
When Jacob hears the news that Emily is pregnant, he runs to find Leah. He isn't going to let Leah suffer another second of this.
He is going to tell her the truth.
Jacob finds Leah in the woods, curled up by some trees. She is in human form, so she won't have to share Sam's thoughts. Jacob slowly sits down next to her, whispering soothing words to her.
It is Leah's first instinct to move away from Jacob. He is just another person who would hurt her. But as she listens to his words, she feels strangely comforted by his presence. She slowly moves closer to him, and Jacob wraps his arms around her, slowly rocking them back and forth.
As Jacob feels Leah relax, he uses one hand to make Leah face him.
"I love you," he whispers. "I always have."
By this time, Leah has completely forgotten about Emily.
"No you don't," she whispers back to him. "You could leave me."
"I'm not Sam."
Leah cringes as Sam's name is mentioned. "Prove it," she challenges.
"I will," Jacob says. With that, he kisses her. There is no sign of softness in the kiss. It is made of only the rough passion he feels for Leah. He pulls away to ask, "Did that convince you?"
Leah responds by kissing Jacob again.
"I'm taking that as a yes," Jacob whispers, his lips softly touching her ear.
"Yes," Leah whispers. "Yes, yes, yes."
"You're feeling better, Leah?" Jacob asks.
"What was I upset about?" she asks before pulling her lips back to Jacob's.
(A/N: Yay for my decision that this story needs more time to grow, so I'm making it a chaptered fic! Of course, this means my other chaptered fics I need to finish (Temptations and Truth or Dare) are currently on hold. Random one shots will still be published on a regular basis because I'm addicted to writing them.)
