Chapter 7- I need a pack meeting

LEAH

I woke up from an uneasy sleep and looked at the clock. 3:30 a.m. What the hell? I looked around and everything seemed normal but something… something didn't feel right.

The hair at the back of my neck was on end and I was getting goose bumps everywhere. Something was wrong. I went to my window and found it open a little bit. It wasn't like that when I went to bed.

I opened the door to my room and looked down the hall. Everything seemed pretty normal. Seth wasn't on patrol this morning so I went into his room to check on him but he wasn't there. What's with all these Quileute boys leaving without telling anyone? Maybe I should think about that.

Mom was still in her room so I went down to the kitchen where I expected to find my brother stealing some food or something. Not there. Huh?

The TV was still off so he wasn't in the living room. Okay, so the only thing that seems wrong here is Seth's missing. Maybe I'm over reacting.

"MOTHERFUCKER!" screamed a voice from outside.

Maybe not.

I ran outside to find Quil, Jake, and Seth arguing in my backyard. I had only a tanktop and booty shorts on but whatever, it was warm out.

"What the fuck are you doing out here?" I hissed. They hadn't sense me come out so I had to laugh when all three whipped around and got in defensive stances. "Whoa, boys relax, it's just me."

"Hey Leah," Quil said.

"Who was swearing?" I asked, crossing my arms in front of my chest becoming more self-conscience by the second because Jake was staring at me. This was going to get awkward.

"Me."

"Aw, baby brother, I'm proud of you. Maybe we are related after all," I nudged him playfully with my shoulder.

He smiled and looked like he was going to say something to Jake, who was still staring at me. Seth stopped whatever he was going to say and followed his line of vision… to me.

"Jake, man, are you okay?" He asked and I was kind of wondering the same thing.

He shook his head and smiled, "yeah, man, just thinking."

I furrowed my brow and slapped my hands together, "So why the pow wow in my backyard at 3:30 in the fucking morning?"

"Apparently, the leeches are worried that there are NEW leeches, coming to town," that sounded like a bad version of the Christmas carol. You better watch out, you better not die, you better not taste good and I'm telling you why. Newwww leeches coming to town.

Sometimes the things I think of make me nervous.

"Leah?"

"Uh, sorry, what?" I asked, shaking my head.

"How do you think Sam's going to react?" Quil asked.

"Wait, Sam doesn't know?" They shook their heads, "Then how do you know this?"

"Bella called me, her bloodsucker came and told her to call me so I could warn Sam," Jake said. "They're part of the coven or whatever that tried to kill Bella before."

I nodded, too bad they didn't get her, stupid, selfish, leech-loving, bitch.

"Who's going to tell him?" I asked.

"Me, but uh, Leah can I talk to you for a minute first?" Jake said. We all stared at him because he sounded nervous! Jacob Black was nervous.

"Yeah I guess," I knew where this was going and to be honest I just wanted to get it over with and despite what I said, I thought a lot about it. "Get lost morons."

Quil and Seth looked confused, but they left and went into the house.

"What's up Jake?" I asked, crossing my arms. He wasn't the only one who was nervous. As much as I said I hated Jake, we both knew that that wasn't the case. We were a lot alike. He knows what it feels like to be abandoned by someone you loved. Even though I'll deny I ever thought this, I cared about him too.

"Leah, I um, I…" He was looking at his hands and I swear to God he was sweating. Wow, I guess this is harder for him than I thought.

"Spit it out Jake," I said. He looked up and what he saw on my face startled him. I was smiling, a real, true, reaches my eyes, kind of smile. Something I hadn't done in a long time. It felt really good.

"You're smiling," he said, matching my expression.

"I am," I said and continued, "what were you going to say?" He may be like 6'9" and look like a 26 year old, but when his cheeks turned red and he looked at the ground where he was kicking a rock around, it reminded me that he was still only 17 to my 19, almost 20. It was cute and I liked it.

"Can I kiss you, Lee?" He asked, finally getting the courage to look in my eyes. I smiled and nodded. His shocked expression made me laugh. "Really?"

"Jacob Black, shut the fuck up and kiss me," I demanded.

And he did.

And it was amazing.

He put his arms around my waist and I wound my arms around his neck, pulling him down to me, and pulling myself closer to him. His stomach was rock hard and damnit, he was fine.

I pulled back breathless, but in a good way. He had his eyes closed and kept his arms around me. My hands moved from his neck to rest over his heart.

He looked at me staring at my hand and I looked up and smiled at him. I could always come up with a witty remark or put-down but I really didn't want to ruin the moment.

He kissed the top of my head and I practically melted into him. I don't know why I trusted him like I did. Maybe because he knew heartbreak like I did and we wouldn't put each other through anything like that ever again. I smiled up at him and claimed his lips with my own.

"Are you going to come over later?" I asked him, "Billy is having dinner with my Mom."

"Of course, why?"

"Just wondering," I said as I tightened my hold on him. My feelings for Jake were always there, ever since Sam left. See, Jake has this thing where he finds broken girls and fixes them. He did it with Bella and she screwed him over. He did it with me and it took me awhile to figure it out but I wasn't ready to let him go.

If you think I'm a bitter, cynical bitch now, its nothing compared to how Jacob found me. I owe him more than my life.

I put my head against Jake's chest and I listened to his heartbeat, he looked down at me, "What are you thinking about Lee?"

"You," I said with a smile, which he returned, "How did you know?"

"How did I know, what?" he murmured.

"That I felt like this?" I whispered, "I didn't even know I felt like this."

He chuckled softly into my hair, "because I knew you before Sam, during Sam, and after Sam. Remember when I refused to leave your house because I saw you crying." He laughed at the memory and I had to too.

"I remember that, that was like a month after."

"I know you told me you hated me multiple times but I can remember being so excited because at least you could feel. There were emotions inside of you. You were coming back to me," he explained.

As soon as he said this a long, low howl came from somewhere deep inside the woods.

EMBRY

I picked up the phone and dialed Sam's number. It was 6 a.m. but I didn't even care.

"Hello?"

"Sam, it's Embry."

"I know, what's the matter?" he asked. I could tell I had woken him up.

"I need you to do something for me, it's really important." I told him.

"Can it wait?"

"Nope."

"Okay," he said and I heard him get up, "What do need?"

I need a pack meeting," I told him, "With everyone except Leah and Jake."

"What? Why?"

"Please, Sam."

"Clearing, 15 minutes," he said and he hung up.

Ending Note: I know this clearing didn't really have anything important but in reality it is. Foreshadowing people! =)
