"You are banned from this house Jacob Black!" A 12 year old Bella screams at my poor little brother from the front door. Leah and I just laugh; she bans him from the house at least once a month.
They fight a lot. Jacob walks down the driveway promising himself she will forgive him within a couple of days.
She always does.
"What did he do this time Bella?" Leah asks her.
She turns to us about to cry and tells us that he told Embry she likes him.
"Well you do like him." Leah points out.
"But Embry doesn't need to know that!" She yells and then slams the door to her bedroom shut.
"Should we tell her Embry actually likes her too?" I ask Leah and she laughs and says let her pout for a little bit.
I roll my eyes but go back to the magazines we are flipping through. She's such a mean sister.
Then Bella starts screaming and throwing things against her wall so we run in there.
"What is your problem Bella?" Leah yells at her.
"You're my problem!" She screams back.
"Um, maybe I should go." I tell them both. They never actually get along but they don't usually fight either. They usually just pretend the other doesn't exist. Drives their brother nuts.
I wish he were here; he can calm them on the rare occasions they decide to do this.
"Don't go Rach." Bella tells me. "Unless you want to take her."
"What did I do?" Leah asks her angry and confused.
"I was in here mad at Jacob because he told Embry then I realized I never told Jacob because I knew he can't keep his mouth shut! I only told Seth and I know Seth didn't tell so it had to be you!"
"You never told me either!"
"You always listen to my conversations. You always know things I didn't tell you. I hate you Leah!" She slams the door in her face and Leah just stares at it for a minute.
"Did you really tell Jacob?" I ask her.
"Who cares?" She snaps.
"I know she's only your step-sister but you should want to be someone she can look up too. Not someone who is going to tell her secrets just for fun and drama. That's messed up Leah."
I knock on her door and yell through it asking if she wants to come to my house to hang out with me for a while. She comes storming past Leah and walks to my car.
"Do you think Jacob is there?" She asks.
"Probably, he always sulks for a while after you ban him from the house. He shouldn't have told Embry… but Embry likes you Bella and Jacob knew that. He was really just trying to help in his stupid boy way."
"Thanks Rach. For telling me that and for getting me away from Leah. I'll forgive Jake so I can focus all my hate on Leah."
