A.N. I own nothing. Just incase if anyone wanted to know, when the story takes place, it happens right before the newborn fight. Although I did switch up a lot, Emily and Sam are already married, as you already saw in one of the previous chapters. Rachel comes in sooner then expected, and there are a lot of other changes. Hope you like. =D
Leah POV.
I woke up this morning with something warm lying next to me. The warmth felt nice against my skin. I snuggled closer to it, to get more warmth, cause for some unknown reason I was feeling rather cold. Strange seeing as werewolves' aren't suppose to get cold with our overly heated temperature. Memories of the day before flooded my mind, those painful memories. If it wasn't for me feeling so week and dizzy from waking up from that coma, there is no doubt I would have killed her. Well I don't know about kill, but I would have defiantly made sure she was the next one to have a check up with Carlisle.
I just can't believe, she would choose Emily over me. Well, actually it's not really a surprise. She always loved Emily. She always compared me to her, she always favored her, she always played with her, always-spent time with her that she wouldn't spend with me, and she just loved her. I just can't believe, I didn't notice it before, well when I was younger anyway. At the same time when would I? Between spending all my time with Jacob, Seth and Sarah.
I miss Sarah, Jacob's mother. She was more of a mother to me then anything. I felt myself starting to cry. I snuggled closer if possible to the warm pillow I was laying on, until I herd a heartbeat. My eyes snapped open to see Jacob's sleeping form next to me.
I hadn't realized I fell asleep during al my crying. Now that I think about it my throut is feeling a little dry. I looked up at Jake. He looked so peaceful in his sleep. He actually looks pretty cute from this angle. Wait did I just think Jacob Black was cute? I must be high on something. Well actually he isn't that bad looking, he's certainly not that little scrawny boy he was before he started phasing. Well he wasn't that bad looking back then either. He was just…. I don't know… baby cute I guess. Yeah baby cute. Now though, he looked-
Waite don't even think it Leah. He's your pack mate. I can't think that way. Last thing I need is another Sam and Emily, or something even worse. Besides he was in love with Bella, even though she wasn't in love with him… he was determined to change her mind.
"Can't keep your eyes off me Lee?" Jacob said staring down at me with a cocky smile on his face. I didn't even realize while I was thinking I was still looking at him.
"No, I was deep in thought."
"Sure you were, that's why you were looking at me."
"I was." I explained.
"No I believe you."
"Good."
"So what about me were you thinking about?" How the…. Oh yeah I was looking at him.
"Shut up Black."
"Back to last name bases?"
"No, look, thank you for… everything." I said looking down. My hand looked pretty interesting right now.
Jacob grabbed my hand and kissed it. What is it with this man and kissing my hand? You know you like it. Oh shut up!
"Lee, your hands are still cold." He said while he moved so he was lying on his elbow.
"I thought I was just going crazy or the thermostat was really low in here." I said in a whisper.
"Why didn't you wake me, if you were cold?" He said with concern evident in his voice as he pulled me closer to him and wrapped his arms around me. I wrapped my arms around his waist to keep him close.
"You were sleeping, besides, you looked so peaceful." I mumbled against his chest.
"Ha! I knew it. You were checking me out." He said with a goofy smile on his face.
I pulled away already missing his warmth. What was it with this guy? Did he swallow too much salt water when he went to save me? Wow, he saved me, that line sounds so cheesy.
"No I wasn't. Besides what's with you? What would make you think I was checking you out? Shouldn't you be worried about Bella checking you out?" I snapped. Right away I regretted my words.
His eyes held so much pain at the mention of her name that it was just sad. Why couldn't he find someone else to be in love with? Well I shouldn't be talking. Cause then I would just be a hypocrite.
"Jake, I'm so sorry I didn't mean…. I…I… Jake I didn't mean to bring her up. It just slipped before I could stop it. I mean it, I really am sorry. You've got to believe me. Sure I could be a bitch… but I didn't mean to… damet Jacob, I'm so sorry." I begged trying to get him to understand.
"Leah it's alright," he said to serious. "I was just trying to make you feel better after yesterday, I didn't think you would snap like that." He said while giving me a small smile.
"If you want to make me feel better you can hold me and make sure I'm warm cause I'm freezing."
Jacob gave a small chuckle, but did as I asked.
"Better?" He asked as he laid his cheek on my head.
"Yeah."
"You know… you would warm up faster if you took your close off."
I lifted up my head and slapped him upside the head extremely hard. "Ouch …damet …Leah." I just laughed.
"Seriously Lee, I was joking." I gave him a serious look, and then smacked him again.
"Ok, I got it that wasn't any better." He said while he rubbed the back of his head.
There was a gentle knock on the door, "Come in," I called, I knew Jacob was grateful for the interruption, in truth so was I.
"Happy to see your girlfriend mutt?" Said a rather large vampire that had a huge goofy grin on his face.
"Dude she's not my girlfriend!" Jacob yelled.
"Oh sure, that's exactly why you were crying and screaming like those guys in the movies when the girl he loves dies."
"She's not my girlfriend, and be-"
"Waite you were crying for me?" I asked in disbelief. Wow that's… sweet… and sad. Tell me how he cried for me yet the only thing my mom did was yell ad cursing me out. Well, I don't even know why I should be worried about me seeing as she isn't my mother.
"Yeah you should have seen it. It was just like how it was done in the movies. Well mines the holding the dead body part." Wow, I actually feel bad for putting Jacob through that, if Jacob took it that bad I don't want even imagine how Seth took it. Oh my God, Seth, my little brother. How could I be so stupid, I would have left my baby brother?
"How did Seth you know …take it?" I was scared to find out.
"I don't think he knows yet Lee." Jake said while he rubbed the back of his neck.
"He doesn't? Thank God. Who does know?"
"Well that I know of it's only me, dad, and your m-"
"She's not my mom!" I screamed, "She never was mom, nor will she ever be!"
I turned over and jumped up to walk away. Big mistake, my legs felt week and not even a second passed before they gave out on me. Before I even crashed landed on the floor, I felt a pair of warm arms grab me by the waist and pick me up pulling me toward his chest.
His arms encircled my waist pulling me even closer and I couldn't help but to place my arms over his. Before I could even say anything I felt his hot breath against the back of my neck, which sent shivers down my spine. His breath moved toward my ear an he whispered, "I'm sorry, I know, I didn't mean to upset by… anyway I'm sorry, and your right she never was a mother to you. However my mom was. My dad sees you as another one of his daughters, cause of that, so what we were both thinking is that you come live with us."
What?
"What?" I half whispered in disbelief while I turned around to face him. "Jake I can't-" Yes you can, and you will. Besides after everything that happened yesterday, I know you aren't going to want to go back there, and your… I mean Sue isn't going to let you go back in that place anyway. So you mites as well just stay with us."
"Jake I… I can't. If anything I'll find a hotel to stay at until I find a pl-"
"Don't even think about it!" He said sounding very much like a parent reprimanding their kid, " You have two choices Clearwater, it's either you stay here or you stay with me until you find a place of your own. Your pick."
"Are you insane! Sure I'm grateful for this lee-… I mean Cullen's. But I'm not going to live with them! You must be out of your mind."
"Well then it's settled then, you stay with us." He said grin on his face.
"No. I'm not, I can take care of myself Black, and I don't need you to babysit me."
"Well I would have to disagree."
"Shut up! Besides who are you to say who I stay with?"
"Your beta." He said all to seriously.
"So what you're going to command me to stay somewhere until I find a place?"
"Well Yes."
"You wouldn't dare." I said while I crossed my arms over my chest and gave him a deadly glare.
"Try me," He said with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "If I command you to stay here, I'll make sure you pay for your stubbornness."
"Oh really?"
"Oh yeah, I'll make sure Alice takes you shopping."
"Did someone say shopping?" Said a pixie like girl who latterly popped out of nowhere. I looked at Jacob with wide eyes. Of course he would use that against me, he knew how much I hated shopping. As I was trying to pull away from Jacob so I could hopefully get away from here before he commanded me His grip on me tightened he let out a growl.
"Don't even think about running off." He growled out.
"Fine I'll stay with you and Billy." He smiled at me although his grip didn't loosen, " but your going to have to let me help around the house and to cook cause I don't want to feel like I'm using you guys."
"Is it really that you don't want to feel like your using us? Or do you just not want to taste my cooking?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Both."
"That hurts Lee." He said giving me a fake pout. I just rolled my eyes.
"Aw, look at the happy couple getting ready to move in together." Said the rather large vampire.
"Emmet." The pixie girl said whose name is Alice said.
Let the fun begin.
