Poisonous Cereal
Poisonous Cereal: Insecurities
"You are truly one of a kind Leah and not just because you're the only she-wolf."-Jacob said nudging her with his nose with a goofy wolfish grin as the church came in to view.
"I know."- She said grinning back, but looking like she was grimacing and Jacob noticed.
"Are you sure you didn't just start that argument just to stall? Everything is going to be alright you know that don't you?"-Jacob said going behind a bush to phase back and ran over to hold his shirt over Leah's bush since she shredded her clothes going after Paul.
"Yeah I guess."-she said in a soft voice, walking out looking down at her feet.
"It will, you wait and see."-Jacob said, embracing her in a tight hug and kissed her forehead before running off to meet up with Paul and Jared walking in the side of the church.
Leah made her way to the bride's side slowly before looking up to see Paul stop and look at her before going through the door.
"Oh thank goodness Leah you're here we've been looking all ov-what happened to you and where are your clothes?"-Sue screeched taking in her daughter's appearance.
"Um…"-was all she got out before being snatched up by Rachel to do her makeup.
"Let me guess, you and Paul got into a fight."-Rachel said getting straight to work on Leah's face.
"Is it that obvious?"-Leah asked
"Yeah it is"- Rosalie replied coming up to stand behind Leah as she sat at the vanity. Rose was allowed on the reservation this once to be in the wedding and she, along with everyone else, was almost completely ready for the "wedding of the year". She quickly stripped off Leah's clothes and put her in a silk robe so she could start Leah's hair.
"He just makes me so angry; he's such a bast-oww what the hell Rach?"
"Well if you stopped moving I wouldn't have had to poke you in the eye now would I? Just hold still and I'll be done soon, besides it's a wedding everyone else is smiling and happy shouldn't you?"
"Why? I hate weddings, I hate the groom, I hate-" Leah was cut off by Rosalie.
"Yeah we get it you hate everything, now hold still!"
Leah looked in the mirror to see Emily come in holding a beautiful white wedding dress and shoes to match that would make Cinderella jealous and hung it behind the vanity before walking over to Sue, who nervously looked at Leah, as the room fell silent waiting for her reaction.
"Ugh just ignore her you're going to look beautiful!"-Rosalie said almost finished with Leah's hair having used her vampire speed. Leah glimpsed at Emily then herself in the mirror and a small tear slid down her freshly colored cheeks. Rachel looked up to see Leah fighting to keep the tears in.
"I'm going to ruin the pictures with my horrible face a manly body. I don't think I can do this."-Leah said as the sad silent tears continued to fall.
"Leah you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, I mean it. I would kill to be half as beautiful not to mention strong as you, so don't sell yourself short because every guy in there, including Paul, is going to find you absolutely breathtaking."-Rachel said, rubbing her back in small soothing circles.
"Yeah not to mention want to jump your bones! Hell if I had a shot I would so go interspecies lesbian for you!" -Rosalie said finishing up her masterpiece on Leah's hair.
Leah chuckled lightly at Rosalie's comment and tried to roll her eyes, but Rachel was fixing her eye shadow.
"Yeah I guess, let's just get this shit over with. Ugh wedding, whose idea was this anyway?"-Leah said with a smile before they burst into laughter lifting their spirits along with everyone else in the room. Now it was starting to feel like a wedding.
Leah may be over Sam, but he left her feeling like she wasn't good enough or pretty enough for any man to look at her since he didn't even try to fight the imprint. Her self confidence in relationships has been shaky which is why she always ended relationships early or drove the guy away: she just knew he was cheating or deserved better than her if he was a good man. But, now in this moment she refuses to even acknowledge those feelings and holds her head high.
Over on the men's side Paul was fidgeting with his tie trying to figure how to put it on since he and the pack aren't used to clothes let alone ties.
"Here I'll help you."-Seth said coming over to aid in Paul's miserable attempt at tying his tie.
"So where did you find him?"-Quil asked walking into the room.
"We found him arguing with Leah in the middle of the forest."-Jacob said walking over to look in the mirror.
"You mean fighting, not to mention Paul was losing."-Jared said with a grin patting Paul on the back.
"Well I can't lose if I don't fight back."-Paul said dryly, rolling his eyes at Jared.
"Yeah ok whatever makes you feel better."-Embry said eyeballing him with a smirk.
"Seriously, maybe you guys forgot because she's is a wolf, but she's still a woman."-Paul said in his defense.
"Trust me we know."-Embry said while the other guys, minus Seth, drool thinking about a naked Leah. Seth growled and punched Embry in the arm.
"So not cool guys!"- Seth said for what felt like the millionth time since he phased.
"Hey don't blame us cause' your sister's hot!"-Embry said with a grin as the guys laughed looking at Seth's disgusted face.
"Anyway, what were you two fighting about this time?"-Seth asked trying to get the topic off his "hot" sister.
"Get this, they were fighting about cereal and milk!"-Jared said; the guys looked at him like they didn't believe him.
"No seriously."-Quil said disbelieving.
"No he's serious. I wouldn't believe it either if I wasn't there."-Jacob said smiling.
"Was the cereal and milk…special?"-Quil asked confused and yet highly amused.
"Nope regular old Captain Crunch and a gallon of milk, but he's buying her two of each to make up for it."-Jacob said
"Actually they were deluxe family size and I ain't paying back shit!"-Paul said defiantly; the guys paused and looked at each other then boomed into fits of laughter.
"S-s-so you we-were almost killed be-because you ate her cereal and dr-drank her milk?" Embry laughed out.
"Actually he almost got killed because he ate her cereal and tried to poison her!"-Jacob said then the giant fools fell out on the floor laughing.
Sam, who thought it better to stay out this particular conversation, found himself chuckling imagining Leah beating Paul with the spoon he used to eat her cereal. He would never admit it, but he still loved Leah, it was always his freewill to love her, but fate just screwed everything up. However, he was happy and wouldn't trade Emily for the world.
"What do you mean he tried to poison her?"-Seth asked sobering up at Jacob's comment.
"She claims I made the milk go bad on purpose so I could poison her and "ride off into the sunset."-Paul said rolling his eyes.
"Wow dude your sister is crazy!"-Quil said getting off the floor. Seth just shook his head and exited the room.
"Hey guys that's our cue."- Sam said leading the guys out the door, to the alter.
