~Where the heart goes~

Leah's POV

"Leah?" Dad yell's from I'm guessing the kitchen because I can smell fish cooking or should I say burning. So much for being left alone.

"Yeah Dad I'm just doing my homework" Not really I've finished everything I've been given, everything seems so easy for me lately.

"Come here will ya, Charlie and Bella are coming over for dinner and I need some help" walking into the kitchen I can see dad has his wheelchair pulled up tight to the stove.

"Dad move away from the stove and no one needs to get hurt" I smirk at him when he turns around giving me a not so amused look.

Billy Black the Chief of the Quileute Tribe, direct descendent of Ephraim Black, legend and mythical Alpha Wolf if you believed the tribal tales. My father was many things but culinary genius wasn't one of them, and despite losing the use of his lower body by a drunk driver he was still tuff as nails even while wearing an apron that said Too Pretty to Cook.

It was just Dad and I since the same accident that robbed him of his legs also took my mother, 4 years and the wound was still bloody for the both of us.

"Wow, how did Charlie manage to drag Bella out of the house" It's funny how a girl changes when a boy's involved. Bella and I were pretty close friends when we were younger having our fathers as best friends we spent a lot of time together, but then Charlie and Renee divorced and Bella moved away with her mother.

I had thought that we would get close again when she moved back last year, but then she got involved with a Cullen boy and the family. The Cold Ones, again a tribal tale and I was warned off getting too close while she was hanging around with them.

Now they were gone and Bella rarely left her house so heartbroken that she almost died of exposure when the asshole of a boyfriend dumped her and the entire family left, leaving her wandering around in the middle of the woods, it was only luck that Sam found her before anything really bad happened.

"Yeah well, it's been almost two months now and I think Charlie threatened to send her back to Renee if she didn't pull herself together" Dad was looking a little uncomfortable with that for some reason.

"Speaking of which, Charlie was wondering if you would do him a favor" I looked over my shoulder while keeping an eye on the fish that hadn't been burnt on the stove. Dad was looking at me with a serious expression.

"Oh yeah and what would that be" I had a pretty good idea but it was fun watching my dad stew

"Well I think that maybe he would appreciate it if you would talk to her, maybe" Smiling down at the fish that was sizzling away, adding lemon juice and some herbs.

"Come on dad, what exactly am I going to talk to her about. We're not friends anymore" I had already planned on trying to re connect, but it had been my father warning me off getting close to her before so I was going to make him work for it.

"That's true but your both girls so I'm sure you could think of something to get her interested in the outside world again" I had to laugh, that was the lamest argument I'd ever heard, I think dad agreed because now he couldn't look me in the eye and was fighting not to grin.

"Seriously Dad, because we're both girls?" Now he couldn't help himself chuckling softly with me

"Just give it a go will you, please. Charlie's desperate he's running out of ideas" I turned back to the fish as I heard what I assumed was Charlie's Police cruiser pulling up in front of our house.

"Yeah dad I'll talk to her about make-up and her favorite perfume" again looking over my shoulder "ok?"

"Well I spouse if that's the best you can come up with" he relies just as sarcastically.

Dad wheels himself to the front door and opens it just as I hear footsteps come up the steps to our porch.

What is that smell? I turn my head slightly towards the door and take a deep breath in; closing my eyes as a shiver goes down my spine, I don't think I have ever smelt anything so delicious. As that thought enters my mind the smell fades away and I open my eyes in complete confusion.

Something weird has been happening to me lately and it's beginning to frighten me. Phantom smells and sounds that come and go like my senses are turning up the volume, I'm getting hot sweats at night and my temper is getting a lot shorter.

Evidence of this is I actually snapped at Seth Clearwater for taking the last juice in line at school, Seth is the most likeable and easy going person that I have ever met, nobody ever has a problem with Seth. Now Jacob, Seth's older brother is another matter given half the chance I'd knock that dickhead on his ass.

Jacob had been a problem of mine for almost 2 years, he had asked me out and going against my better judgment I had said yes. My friends at school were starting to wonder why I wasn't interested in boys and I think Dad may have heard something; I wasn't quite ready to come out as liking girls so I agreed when Jacob asked.

Big mistake, a year older than me and completely full of himself he had spent the entire night talking about how good he was and making me feel like I should be honored that he'd asked me out. And just to end the night on more of a low he tried to stick his tongue down my throat and his hand up my shirt.

If I hadn't known I was gay before that night I definitely would have after it. Ever since then he was either flirting with me and repeatedly asking me out or spreading rumors, from being his sex slave on the side or the only reason I wasn't interested in him was because I was a lezzo.

I still hadn't come out, but then what was the point if I didn't have a girlfriend.

Shaking myself out of my thoughts I turn back to the fish.
