Thanks to all who've reviewed ^_^
bvc17 Sam and Emily are really hurting Leah, even if they don't want to. I really feel sorry for her, she's been through a lot and that's probably why she's my favorite female character from the Twilight Books. She may be a bitch most of the time but she is a very strong woman, not some whining girl like Bella.
dancingxphalanges I'm really happy that u like it. I'm not a very good writer but I try. I promise to use quotation marks in the next chapters :)
La Mariposa3795 I'm exactly the same way myself. My least favorite characters are Bella and Emily. I'm glad that u liked the chapter I really enjoyed writing it. As for Jacob… just read *wink*
brankel1 Thanks for the reviews, I'm happy that u like it ;)
Chapter 4: Friends
And I was running. I was running my ass off as everything around me was a blur. Tears were clouding my sight. A loud thunder echoed through the forest which made me run even faster. I could still hear the words in my head, every single one was like a knife in the back as I felt nothing but pain and emptiness. The worst possible situation. And I can do nothing to change it. Nothing to make it right… for me. I was a genetic dead end. Defective. Wrong. Everything in my life was going from bad to worse and I just couldn't see the end of it. I was cursed.
In least than 2 minutes I was already home. I slammed the door shut and wiped away the tears from my face. Fuck Sam. Fuck Emily. Fuck all the wolf bullshit. Fuck La Push. Fuck them all. I despise this place. Everything I do I end up hurt and everyone starts feeling sorry for me. AGH, that's what I hate about all of them. They always take pity on me – the broken-hearted ex-girlfriend that couldn't get over a crush.
I don't know how I will overcome this. Today's events were replaying in my head. Emily was so happy, she had sparks in her eyes, and Sam – he was looking like he owns the entire world. Fucker. Damn, I never should have went to the stupid bonfire.
My eyes began to water once again as I pictured myself on the same spot Emily was tonight – next to Sam, holding his hand, feeling his baby inside of me. My hand placed itself on my stomach. Nothing.
Ugh, damn, get a hold of yourself, Leah. You're over Sam, remember?
I quickly decided to take a shower to relax my muscles from the running. I took off my clothes and put them in the laundry before entering the bathroom.
20 minutes later I walked in my room, wrapped in a towel. Opening my closet I pulled a pair of black bikini and a bra. I exhaled, felling tired. It was a long day, or so it felt that way. I started unwrapping the towel, when I heard a soft noise coming from behind me. Turning around I came face to face with Jacob's chest. What the fuck is he doing here? I can't deny that I couldn't take my eyes off his chest for a couple of seconds.
Without saying a word he wrapped his hands around me and pressed me tight to him. Not even trying to stop them, the tears rolled down my cheeks. My hands locked behind his bare back.
"I am so, so sorry." He whispered in my ear, his husky voice full with sadness.
After a moment he slowly pulled away to look me in the eyes. I immediately tried to wipe the tears away, but he caught my hands in his. After seeing my hurt expression and wet face he frowned.
"Oh, God, no. Please, don't."
Jacob let go of my hands to wipe the tears. I felt his warm touch and closed my eyes. It felt so good I almost smiled. Wait! What? I just though that Jacob's touch…. Oh, no no no. Why was he even here? And why the fuck does he care about my feelings? I pulled away roughly and looked at him, narrowing my eyes.
"Why are you here, Jacob? Did Sam send you?" I felt pure rage as I thought of this possibility, taking a step closer to Jacob. "Cause if he did I swear…"
"No, no, of course not. How could you even think it, Leah?" He cut me off almost immediately.
I felt bad for doubting him like that, but not enough to change my expression. He eyed me up and down and bit his lower lip. Ignoring this I asked with the same anger in my voice.
"Then why are you here?"
He sighed and looked away for a moment, undoubtedly to clear his head from the dirty thoughts, then back at me.
"I just wanted to check up on you. To see if you're okay. I know it's hard…"
It was my time to cut him off.
"Well, thanks for being so concerned," sarcasm dripping from every word "now get out of my room before I throw you out." I warned, crossing the room and sitting on my bed, my back to him. I didn't want him to see me like this. So vulnerable. So weak.
But unfortunately, Jacob knew me too well. He came and sat next to me on the floor, leaning back on the side of the bed. I didn't want to meet his gaze so I just stared at my pillow.
"The truth is I came because I was worried about you. I didn't want you to feel lonely and abandoned." He lifted his head to look at me but I was still too interested in my pillow.
"Leah." Jacob said a little louder and my eyes met his.
"I'll always be here for you. As will Seth and your mother. We'll never leave you."
I felt a strange feeling I haven't felt for ages. My cheeks were getting warmer. WTF, AM I BLUSHING??? God, I don't believe this, I'm so pathetic. Good thing it was dark and Jacob couldn't see the slight change of color on my face.
I gave him a smile but didn't say anything. He smiled back, revealing his perfect white teeth and stood up. I followed him with my eyes (God, he had a sexy ass) as he made his way to the window and prepared to jump. He then turned around sharply, as if he forgot something. Looking at me he whispered a "good night" and jumped through my window.
I was still smiling like an idiot as I stared at the window. It took me a couple of seconds to come to my senses. Then I stood up and said "Thank you" to the wall across from me.
And it didn't last long, before a "You're welcome" reached my ears. Smiling, I changed in my bikini and bra and laid on my bed.
I didn't dream that night, which I was grateful for.
I have some ideas about the future chapters… kinda. If u have some interesting ideas feel free to share :)
