Chapter 6

My four paws hit the ground in a fast pace. I didn't know where I was running to, but I was running. Air flew through my fur as I increased my speed. It was cool and refreshing. Being able to run and feel the wind like this was the only thing I loved about being a wolf. It feels like you're flying without having to leave the ground.

Somehow I found myself on the cliff. It was 'the cliff'. That stupid fight I had with Jake. It was here. Looking back at what I said, I would admit to myself, and only myself, that I was a little harsh. He didn't need me to say such things but I did anyway. Changing back to human form I sat down on the rock that was closest to me. I was so lost in thought before that I didn't realize I would eventually need my clothes again. It was too late now. I pulled my knees to my chin to hide myself. Once I was comfortable I stared into the empty space in front of me. My mind went blank.

I heard a bush or two rustle. I knew who it was. I didn't know how I knew but I did. "Hello Jake," I whispered. I kept my eyes staring in front of me. I'm too proud, that's why I won't look at him, even though I want to look at him, hug him, kiss him … why do I keep thinking this stuff? Emily is wrong! She is so wrong, I don't love him! Its just the fact that I imprinted on him. That's all.

Still as a wolf he came and sat down next to me. He didn't do anything for a while. Just sat there. What was he thinking? Why did he follow me here? What did he what? I felt his muzzle rub against my thigh. His nose was wet and cold. I hid my smile in my knees, hoping Jake wouldn't see it. Out of the corner of my eye I watched him transform back and put on his jeans. The next thing I knew he handed me his shirt and looked away. I pulled the greasy, Jake smelling t-shirt over my head. It felt so right to wear it. It was like a little reminder of him.

Glancing over at Jake, I saw that he turned back to me, but he was laughing. How dare he? Who the hell did he think he was to laugh at me? What was his problem?! Death glare time. My eyes felt like they magically became daggers, but he was still laughing. They had no effect on him whatsoever. I fumed silently, glancing down at his shirt. The green fabric hung loosely on my small frame. I never really took notice of how much smaller I was compared to him. I giggled at the thought.

After that fantastic moment was over we sat in silence for maybe and hour or two. I wanted to say something start a conversation, but I didn't now what to say. Jake and I have never really had anything in common before. I have to say something. The sun started to set. It was red. Wait it was red!

"It's going to be hot tomorrow."

"What are you, the weather girl now?" I felt him lean closer. He is trying to be flirty. Its kinda … dare I say it, cute.

"No, I was just stating an observation." I guess I should explain what I mean because the cute idiot doesn't seem to get it. "When the sun's setting and it's red like that it means that the next day is going to have high temperatures."

"Wow," he had that goofy smile on his face. The same beautiful smile he flashed me only days ago.

"What?" I turned my head to face him. Oh my God! Another thing that I didn't notice. We were close , really close. I didn't move though. I just waited. I waited for him to move closer, to kiss me.

"Nothing," he said turning his head away from mine. I …. No. My brain felt like it exploded. I can't believe him! The bastard! He could have… I stood up quickly I need to get away from him. Now! "Leah! Wait! Where are you going?" he stood up to follow me. All of a sudden I knew what I could do to make him pay! I turned back to him and smirked evilly.

"This is an ugly shirt." I said pulling on the collar.

"… That's actually my favorite shirt." He answered me sheepishly. I guess he was regretting his actions already. Well that sucks for him!

"Is it really?! That's great!" I turned away quickly. "Good-bye Jacob!" I let my bones crack and bend as a transformed, ripping his favorite shirt to shreds. Ridding it of its once nice smelling, greasy glory.

I stopped at the clearing where I left my clothes and put them back on before I wandered home. The moment I stepped inside I felt my mother looking at me. "Hey Mom." Sadness just decided to sweep in.

"Tell me what's wrong." She hugged me tightly. I felt every little ounce of love she had for me in that one hug. We moved the conversation to the living room.

"It's Jake," I mumbled sitting down on the couch. "I think …I …love him."

"That doesn't explain what the problem is, dear."

"It is the problem!" I continued to tell her everything that happened on the cliff. Each time I paused to take a breath or to just pause the story she gave me one of her motherly glances. When I was finished she hugged me and went into the kitchen to make me what she called 'comfort food'.

"The same comfort food my mother used to make me whenever you're father screwed up while we were dating," she said. I smiled at her. It better be good.

"It's almost ready dear." She called to me. I was lounging on the couch flipping through the channels. There was nothing on. That's when there was a knock at the door. Lazily I got up and looked through the curtains to see who it was. It was Jake!

"Mom!" I yelled in a whisper.

"What is it?" she came into the hallway.

"It's him!" What do I do?!

"Go in the living room." I did as she said, hoping she might tell him to go away. But she didn't! Jake came in silently and sat down on the couch next to me.

"I know why you're mad." Oh, do you Jake? Do you know?

"Really?! You do?! No freaking way!" I felt so stupid I actually expected him to kiss me. I thought he would feel the same.

"Leah I should have-" I cut him off.

"Yeah you should have, but you didn't." You were supposed to kiss me! I was waiting for it, Jake!

"Well I'm sorry that I'm not Sam!" He was comparing himself to Sam! He is nothing like Sam! It was so stupid. The laugh that left my mouth sounded cruel and harsh.

"I don't care about Sam. Sure it still hurts but it's not as bad as before. Whenever I used to see him, I see you instead and that pisses me off more!" The feelings he makes me feel the love, the hate, everything it makes me sick. I hate him for making me feel this way. And yet I love him because he does! It's not like I want to -. His arm wrapped around my waist and I felt myself pulled into him. He smashed his lips down on top of mine without warning. Does he think that kissing me now makes up for it?! I pushed against his chest to get away, but his arms held me so tightly. He was too strong and too warm and he smelled way too nice. I melted into the kiss, finally wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Hey!" a voice yelled. Seth! Jake pulled away from me and looked at him. "What the hell is going on?"

"Seth …" Jake started talking before I could even find the words to say anything.

"No!" Seth's eyes looked like they were blazing. I never thought he would have a reaction like this. "Mom! Do you know what your daughter is doing?" he yelled towards the kitchen. Is he going to broadcast it to everyone?! The little brat!

"No dear, what is she doing?"

"She's making out with Jake on the couch!"

"That's nice dear, come and help me with dinner." Seth's jaw dropped. He was speechless. He should have realized by now that mom has always been on my side. He turned back to Jake, only glancing at me for a second.

"But… I may have looked up to you before and I still do, but if you hurt her I hurt you!" he poked Jake in the shoulder roughly before stalking grumpily into the kitchen.

"Jacob hon, would you like to stay for dinner?" I looked at Jake. Please Jake stay. For me?

"Sure." He stared at me. The intensity of his eyes made me blush. You could probably fry an egg on my cheeks, they were that hot. I smiled. Is this going to be our happy ending?
