I was just saying my goodbyes to Charlie as he and harry made their way out of the door. This left Leah and I alone with so much time on our hands. I close the door behind them and slowly turn to face Leah. She looked anxious and uneasy. I felt the familiar uneasiness return to my chest.

" So what do you want to do," I question trying to easy the awkward tension.

" How about a movie?"

"Sure that sounds nice" I sigh walking away from the door and into the living room.

" Listen about yesterday" she started but I already sensed where that was headed.

" Its fine," I rush out trying to assure her that everything was fine. I couldn't blame her for being her, the confident Leah she had always been.

I sighed and took a seat next to Bella on the couch. She smelt so good. I watched her as she flipped through the channels searching for just the perfect movie to watch. Each breath I took seemed to invite my wolf, tempting her into wanting more. I shut my eyes in effort to calm my wolf. As soon as I closed my eyes I envisioned running my hands in Bella's long beautiful hair as we shared and ever so passionate kiss.

" Did you want to go for a scary movie or something? " she questioned. I shook my head yeah unable to form words quickly enough. This wasn't like me, so nervous and anxious. She settles on some horror movie with a haunted house. The teenagers were going to visit for a family vacation. While the movie continued to play I watched her movements and how she focused on the TV. Her eyes only seemed to be the perfect shade of brown. They were like marbles so glossy and beautiful.

" What are you staring at," she questioned as she turned to face me.

"You."

The familiar scarlet blush filled her cheeks and she smiled. She swatted at me playfully and continued to smile.

" I missed you Leah, we were so close before I left," she explains looking into my eyes. The way she'd mentioned her leaving she looked as if the memory caused her so much pain. We all hurt when Bella left, but Charlie took it the hardest.

"I missed you too swan, I missed the pale face little girl that made mud pies with Jake and I."

Her face lit at the thought of such memories. It felt better to see her with a different expression on her face.

" You remember that," she questioned turning to face me completely. She'd forgotten all about her movie.

" I remember it all, the days we'd play hide and seek, when we made cookies with my mom and even when we used to play Barbie's and Jacob would have to play a girl." I laughed at such memories, those were the absolute best ones I had in my childhood. Things were so easy back then.

She smiled a warm smile and nodded her head. " Do you still talk to Jake ", she asked her brown eyes searching me for answers.

" Yeah, sure all the time", I lied. I haven't talked to Jacob since Bella left. Since I have become apart of the pack its not like I could really have much to say to him now. We kept our distance as much as possible. Not because of conflict really, but what is there really to say?

She nodded her head in agreement and reached to tuck her hair behind her ear.

" You've changed you know, " she starts with a soft smile.

" Really in what way?"

A blush appeared on her face before she responded. " You're like supper tall, like come on Le your legs go on for miles. I mean that's awesome, I wish I had legs like that. Then your hair, you've always had pretty black hair but it just seems as though with the length it just got prettier. And your eyes, sometimes when you look at me it's almost as if they are glowing.

I smiled at her, young Bella was quite observant.

" Le huh ", I teased I hadn't been called that outside of her. It meant a lot to know that she still remembered. She playfully rolled her eyes and gave me a light shove.

I pretended to act wounded and smiled back at her.

" I'm just teasing swan chill out, I'll take everything you've said as a compliment and say thank you." I grinned at her knowing I was only going to get under her skin.

"No but honestly, you've changed too, I mean look at you. Where my scrawny bells, I mean you aren't much bigger but you've at least gotten a foot taller", I snicker.

Bella was indeed far from tall and she looked as though she weighed little to nothing.

" We were kids Leah that is so mean! " she laughed.

" Whatever man, you're barley any bigger how tall are you 5'4?"

" 5'2 thank you very much ", she pouted shaking her head at me.

I only smiled at her, It felt good to be in her presence again .To laugh to talk to play in the ways we always had. Even though in the back of my mind it felt as though something were missing. I couldn't put a finger on what but it just didn't feel complete.

The minutes spent talking to Leah turned into hours. She was everything I remembered and more. We talked about our memories together and some of those while we were apart. As I continued to talk to her I realized that my uneasy feelings were gone and that I was comfortable. It was better than anything I could ever ask for. To feel secure and no longer self conscious about your surroundings. The hole in my chest no longer begged for my undying attention. It was a distant feeling in the back of my mind and no longer a worry to me.

" So when you move back, why didn't you come to the reservation", she asked ever so curiously. I indeed couldn't tell her the real reason. Everything hit me so fast with Edward that when he mentioned not being familiar with that area I just never bothered. He and his family specifically stayed away from that specific area so I figured I was supposed to do the same, being his girlfriend and aware of the family secret and all.

" I didn't know what to say, with everything that my mom did I just kind of wanted a fresh start here. Then I met Edward so we just decided to hang out here and occasionally Port Angeles." I knew telling this lie wasn't the best option but it would at least buy me time.

" Edward is your boyfriend?"

This question was like a knife to the heart.

"He used to be, some time ago we broke up and he moved. He and his family decided that Forks wasn't the place they wanted to be. " I replied trying to explain with as much truth as I possibly could. I hated to lie, but I had to do what was best.

" He sounds like a total ass, but I can honestly tell you I've had my share in the heart breaks. I'm here if you ever want to talk", she replied with a sincere smile.

I didn't say anything id just wanted to get off of the particular topic. I stood from my seat on the couch and walked to wards the kitchen.

" Would you like some juice or water or something?"

" Uh I would love to, but its getting late and I think I might have to start heading back to help my mom" Leah stammers out. I reach into the fridge and grab a bottle of water before retreating to the living room.

"Well let me walk you out, it was good catching up Le. "

I walk towards her and she pulls me into a tight hug. I hugged her back enjoying the comfort she offered. I went to pull away but her arms continued to hold me tight. She rubbed me gently on my back before easing her grip. Her brown eyes had the familiar glow that I had seen earlier. Our faces were inches apart and I could smell the sweet vanilla smell of her hair. I broke away by taking a step back and instantly felt disappointed. I couldn't understand why, but I did. There was a part of me that honestly never wanted to leave her arms, but a part of me felt as if something were missing.

She smiles at me warmly and retreats for the door. I stand waiting as she walks towards her car. She waves a final goodbye before getting in although it already felt as though she had gone. I close the door when I hear the start of the engine. I turn so that my back is facing the door and reply the events of today. She hadn't even pulled out of the drive way and I found myself already missing her company.
