Chapter 2:
Running Away From Him.
Leah Pov.
For a few moments, I watched the handsome man who had been staring at me non-stop. I still can't believe this feeling I get when we meet eyes . . . For some reason, I can't away from him, and he has yet to peel his gaze away from me.
Just then, I realized that Justin, my old high school friend, was trying to tell me something. I was too zoned out to catch what he was telling me, more or less to care about it. Finally ,he stopped talking and he saw who I was looking at so much.
''So you already got your eye on the new guy?" Justin huffed. "You're just like most of the girls here that can't take their eyes off him, ''Justin stated with a bored, upset look on his face.
''Do you know who he is?" I asked, then quickly added, "I'm just curious.'' I tried to look like I really meant it.
''Well, all I know is he and his little sister there,'' he pointed to the girl next to the new guy, ''have a dad who decided it was time for them to move in with him again, just for a while. And the "new guy" has a temper, his father has been saying. Apparently, it's so bad that he gets in a fight over every little thing.'' Justin's tone didn't mask his disapproval one bit.
''You know, Jay, you shouldn't say things like that. Don't judge so fast without knowing him.'' That did it when Justin made me so mad because he said something like that about the most amazing man I've ever seen. How can I feel like this? How can this be?
Without any notice, I took off without even saying goodbye to Justin. I let my insticts lead me until I was lost in the woods near the beach.
I feel a chill running up my spine, and before I know it, my mind is in a wolf's body and I can feel the weight of the fur around my shoulders. Unfoutunatley for me, everyone in the pack was there and I do mean everyone. Even my little brother Seth and they all started to see what just happened to me as my thoughts were tossed from one mind to the next. They all became alight with bliss in just a minute that had passed.
Wow, Leah I'm so happy for you, but why didn't you talk to him? Jake asked and they all were thinking the same thing. Excitement clearly in his mind.
How can I really believe that I did imprint on him after all this time? like it was nothing? I had to ask it was just so weird.
Well sis, you should at least try to find out. We all can feel how you do feel for him. It's just like Sam felt when he saw Emily and Jared with Kim. Why are you trying to run from your love? Seth said, and in truth be told, he was right but still how can i be really believe what i feel.
I'm still not going to talk to him, so stop thinking about it and trying to make me see him again. Do you guys understand? I said. I raised my lips over my teeth and let a growl rumble thunderously around in my throat and chest. I made the pitch of it rise so it was an audible for all of them to hear.
Fine! Be that way, Seth said, annoyed with me. They all agreed with him.
I just took off once more towards home to phase back and be alone for a while. I got home in my human form, I just let myself fall into my own mind. Closing my eyes, I saw my love just like he looked at the beach . . . Did I just said my love? I'm really losing it.
But he did really look so amazing . . .
Days passed and I just stayed in my bed just, only leaving it to eat and take a shower. I really didn't want to see him again, even if I was dying to.
I wanted to get to know him. To hear his voice, to feel him near me.
It pained me to think about the fact that I was so far from him. It's been almost a week and the pain still made me want to run all over the rez to find him, and kiss his cute and manly lips with passion. Just then, Seth knocked at my door, breaking me away from my fantasy.
''Leah, are you not going to the bonfire? Everyone wants you to come!'' He said sadly, knowing that I would say to him again. I will always love my little bro. His so sunny and has a bright, happy-go-lucky personality.
''I really don't want to go, but a little air would be nice. I've been in here for far to long'' I said and it really was true. i really did need the the bonfire. Even if everyone was in couples like always just the same only me Seth and Embry were alone. Mom and that guy I saw at the beach just a week ago were walking to the bonfire with everyone else. Talking to each other very happily like they know each other for years. I still look at him and can't look away? its like nothing in the world not even the love I once had for Sam can compare to how I feel right now seeing this amazing man smiling at me non-stop.
Scott POV.
I can't believe she just left just like that. I tried to run and stop her but she ran faster then a normal girl could. How did she run so fast?
I did stop the guy who was talking to her when she was here on the beach. I bet he could tell me who she is and more. I walked back to "ily and said to her that I wanted her to come with me, after I was sure that I couldn't see the girl anymore to talk to the guy i wanted to talk to and she accepted happily. I would see in her eyes she was happy to see me smile so hugely.
I went to stop the guy before he left. I really didn't like to talk to a guy that was with the girl I have my eye on and not the girl directly but I have to do with what I have. I can't stop thinking of her so beautiful more then a rose. I can't believe my luck with just two days here and already I find someone to give my heart to.
''Hey! Can I ask you who was that girl that you were just talking to?'' I said trying to make him turn around and talk me.
''Oh, she's Leah, Leah Clearwater one of my old high school friends," he said, looking at me with a disgusted look on his face. Like he doesn't want to tell me nothing about the girl that I know now that is Leah.
''Can I be so bold and ask where can i see and find her again?'' I said nervously.
''Well, I don't think she would like me to tell you that. She is sort of a loner,'' he replied, obviously trying to make me forget it.
"Well, it's okay then. Sorry to bug you by asking," I grumbled. I fought the urge to shake him and force him to give me answers, but I thought I should try to not push my luck. At least I now know her name. Leah Clearwater. How cute her name is.
''Princess, I think its time to go home. I have to find this girl, I don't know why but she makes me miss her like crazy!'' I told my sister, who just smile huge and said:
''So romantic! Scotty, how wonderful! I want to meet her, too. Lets go home fast!'' She was bouncing in her seat all the way. Has always dad was at the office and the house was all dark and empty. It really felt like living home alone without dad but his new friends that only made him drunk and come home the other day. We got so accustom to it by now that it was like he didn't even live with us.
I tired everything for a week now to find my Leah. I know i should't say that because she's nothing of mine but still I felt so alone with out her. How crazy was that?
Lily still helped me with to much joy in her actions and voice. And always having faith in me to find Leah, for her to finally meet and make her part of our family. She loves the idea of having a new sister that she never had. We almost lost hope when dad one day just stop our mess in the home office to let us now how Leah and her family was. Dad said she lived here in La Push but much far then we lived at the start of La Push. And told me the directions to go to her.
I went alone to her house. It was a simple house but so home-y that attracted me to it just like her. I knocked on the door for a little while I was pacing that little porch were I was on. Until the door opened and a woman that looked so much like Leah but with lighter eyes. She even had her hair cut short like her to. She stared at me a while before she smiled at me.
''Hello? How may I help you?'' With a shocked look on my face, I answered her.
''I'm sorry, I was just looking for Leah. I'm sorry to interrupted you if your busy," I said a little nervous not even looking at her of whom just let go of a little giggle.
''Oh my, she is not here at the moment but if you like i can take you to her. I was just going to where she is at. At the beach for a bonfire, would you like to come dear?'' she said. How sweet and motherly her voice sounded; it sounded just like mom.
''I would love to it! If you don't mind me going with you. Even if you don't know me. I really want to see and talk to Leah," I said somewhat timidly. Usually when I'm nervous, I start talking . . . Alot. I don't know why. Something just gets me worked up.
"Don't worry sweetie, I would love for you to come. Don't be nervous it just a get together to talk and have fun. My son is going to be there to. So you will met him too. I just have to finish some cookies that I was making and we can go. And by the say I'm Sue and you?" Sue asked, her rambling beginning swiftly then fading to an end.
"Um, I'm Scott. I just moved here with my family, a few weeks ago." I said, feeling more calm while talking to Sue.
"Well then, welcome!" She grinned at me. She continued to move around the kitchen, and we followed.
After a few minutes later we made are way to the beach to a circle of lots of people all around a fire and there she was my Leah. These days apart didn't make her look less then beautiful, how can I feel like this when I haven't even talk to her ever. My heart almost stop for a second and start biting again when she looked at me. i can bet my money that everyone can hear my heart biting reputedly. I just started to smile and try to calm down and look up when her mother called her.
''Leah! This young man was looking for you at home, so i told him that he should come with me and see you honey . . .'' she said like she was more then happy to see us together. How crazy this all was for her that she was speechless and was not going to talk to me so I started to talk.
''Hi, I'm Scott. Sorry, I didn't have a change to talk to you last week you left so fast from the beach, '' I said while smiling at her. I saw her inhale and stop, I was sure it made her breathless to look at me in the eyes. I laughed lowly, not to make her feel bad for acting the way she was. She did smile and tried to look away and everyone laugh at us and stared at us with excited eyes. I made my way to set next to her, I was so close i could smell her sweet forest smell which was so amazingthat it made me roll my eyes back in my head. I forgot everything that was around me but Leah. I even noticed her cheeks were a little pink, which caused my grin to stretch wider across my face. I thought that was impossible, but while I was looking at Leah . . . It seemed like nothing was.
