Leah

- Andrew

"I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems"

"So, there's someone I want you to meet."

Leah finished pouring out the coffee to her customer, returned the coffee pot to its place in the café, walked behind the counter, and eyed Sierra, who was pouring herself a drink.

"You do realize that you have no legal authority to do that, right?" Leah replied.

Sierra grinned, put a straw into her cp, took a sip and walked over to the customers side of the counter, sitting on one of the 5 chairs placed there.

"Course I've got legal authority. You." She flashed another of her brilliant smiles, then continued. "Anywho, one of my friend's is coming home today, and-"

"Oh, c'mon, Sierra. Please give me just a week in which I don't have to meet another of your friends!" Leah exclaimed, upon which Sierra laughed.

Leah had been living in England for quite a while now, and many things had changed. First of all, Sierra now knew every little detail of Leah's previous life. Leah had learned that Sierra didn't approve of her running away but agreed that Bella sounded horrible, and, surprisingly, also thought that Edward sounded absolutely ridiculous. Leah had also gotten a job at a café (named Rosette's), and was using the money to pay for her university education, where she was studying in the design and create area. She'd also had to move into a slightly cheaper hotel, but it was cosy and comfy, so she didn't mind. Sierra had also started inviting her to any movie, party or other occasion that she was going to with other friends, (which meant many occasions and many friends), and Leah now knew them as well as could be expected. They'd surprised her at first, because they were open and quick to accept her, but close friends anyhow. Leah had felt slightly uncomfortable around them at first, but now she often hung out with them, even without Sierra. Some of them had become her friends, too.

"I can't come anyway, 'cause I've got to study, so-"

"Study for your vet job?"

"No, Sierra, I do not have to study for a vet job that I do not have."

Sierra chuckled. For some reason that Leah couldn't quite comprehend, Sierra thought the idea of Leah being a vet was hilarious, and Leah supposed it was because of her being a werewolf. And Sierra never tired of the joke, even after Leah had explained that her being a vet would literally be impossible, since the animals would be able to scent her "wolfish" smell.

Well, even if Leah hadn't had studying to do today, there wasn't a way she was going to go an meet Sierra's friend. Unless...

"Wait... Is he coming today?"

"Who?"

"Well, you're boyfriend?"

"Oh, you mean the one who actually has a name?"

"Sure sure, is Chris coming?"

"Maybe..." Sierra gave a suggestive waggle of the brows and a grin, which Leah responded.

"'Kay, I'll come over." Chris, who had been dating Sierra for years, was on holiday with his family. With everything Sierra had told her about him, Leah couldn't wait to meet him.

"You won't take that back now, will you?"

"Why would I-oh." Leah sighed, realizing her mistake. Meaning Chris wasn't coming over.

"Okay, what's his name?"

"His name's Andrew!" Sierra made an excited little squeal.

"Oh, c'mon Sierra! You told me it was Chris!"

"I most certainly did not."

"You hinted, and that counts as the same thing!"

"Not at all. By hoping it was Chris, you automatically assumed it was, and therefore, you're the only one to blame." Sierra countered with a cheerful smile.

Leah sighed, rolling her eyes. Sierra cast a glance at the clock.

"Anywho, I gotta go to university now. Can you come over to my suite at around 3?"

"Whatever."

Sierra laughed, skipped out of the front door, and waved to Leah, who watched Sierra disseapear in the busy, crowded streets. Once she was well out of sight, Leah allowed herself a little smile.

Ratatata. There was a knock on the door, and Sierra jumped up, skipping over to it.

"Ya?"

"It's Leah. It's three. Happy?" was the reply from the other side.

Sierra laughed, unlocking the door.

"No, oh super scary stalker, I do not grant though permission into my suite." She saidas she let Leah in.

"You're weird."

"Hm-hm?"

"Very. Anyway, what time is whatitsface coming here?"

"Andrew? He's coming around 4."

"Aha. Which means that I'm here an hour early so you can torture me with make up and hair?"

"And clothes, yes. Now, make haste, make haste!"

To be honest, Leah didn't understand Sierra. This might have been on account of her making no sense at all. Also, however, Leah found it very confusing that Sierra enjoyed giving other people makeovers, when she hardly bothered with her own appearances. And though Leah always complained about it, she was sure that Sierra knew she secretly enjoyed all the many makeovers Sierra always gave her.

At around ten past four, there was a knock on the door.

"You're late!" Sierra called as she walked over to the door. "Present me with one valid excuse and I shall let you in."

Leah sighed, imagining the annoyance of the other person.

"You know how I'm staying at my mum's place? Well, she found out who put the viruses on her computer, and you know my mum..."

"Ouch." Sierra winced, opened the door, and let Andrew in. He was short and blonde, with brown eyes and a slightly cynic expression.

"Y'ello Andrew!" Sierra exclaimed.

"Hi, oh crazy person." He noticed Leah and sent her a little grin.

"Who're you?"

"Leah."

"Oooh."

Leah raised her eyebrows, turning to Sierra, who pretended to whistle as she stared into the distance.

"Anyway," Sierra pronounced, "come on into the living room."

As viewers of this life's story may have noticed, Sierra was about as opposite to Leah as could possibly be. It may surprise some that Leah had become friends with someone like Sierra, and Leah was surprised herself.

She was also surprised to discover, however, that Andrew was funny. In the beginning, Leah had not been able to comprehend that someone as cynical as Andrew could be fiends with Sierra, but she soon started understanding his strange humour. Again, to her surprise, she found him much easier to talk to than Sierra's other friends, and she had thought they were easy to talk to. And, he was funny. Which, she realized, she kept telling herself. Along with all the other assets of him that she found good or intriguing.

"I think I've gotta finish this food." Sierra said, stretching and rising from her chair as her phone rang.

"Y'ello? Hiya Chris! I can't talk for long, but-"

Phone in hand, she walked off into the kitchen, still talking.

"Well, we won't be seeing her for a while." Andrew regarded Leah, who grinned.

"Why didn't she just go on holiday with him?" She asked him, curious.

"Since Sierra and Chris had been spending so much time together, Chris' family wanted to spend some time alone with him, and decided to make it last for like, months."

"Oh."

"Yeah." He studied her for a moment, cocking his head to one side. "D'you like gory movies?"

"Huh?"

"Well, do you?"

"Uh... I dunno.... why?"

"Uh,'cause, um, well, I dunno, I, uh..." He fiddled around with his shirt, looking at everything but her.

And Leah realized something.

"Are you trying to ask me out on a date?!"

"A little, yeah."

"Oh."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the first time Leah was asked out on a date since she'd moved to England. It was, in fact, the only time she'd ever considered going on a date with anyone since Jacob. The only problem was, she was at loss for words, and didn't know what to say.

"Um.. I, um... Oh, um, Sierra's calling me, hear it? Uh," she turned towards the kitchen, where she hoped Sierra was. "Yeah, I'll be right there!" she called, hurriedly leaving the room.

Wow, she had absolutely failed at making a smooth exit.

"Sierra, you in here?" she whispered as she poked her head into the kitchen, where, thank God, Sierra was standing and cooking while on the phone with Chris.

"Yup, d'you need anything?"

"Um, does advice for a huge problem count as well?"

"It does." She turned back to her phone. "Chris, I gotta go. Yeah, love you too, bye!" She hung up, turning to Leah.

"Uh-huh?"

"He asked me out on a date!"

"What did you say?"

"I pretended you were calling my name!" Leah yelled, exasperated.

Sierra laughed, which didn't help Leah in the least.

"Okay, well, what's the problem?"

"I don't know if I should say yes or no!"

"Why not?"

"Because- because I'm still in love with Jacob, but, I don't know... Plus, every time I've started a relationship, something goes wrong!"

"Okay, well... Relationships have always gone wrong for Andrew, too. His asking you means he actually likes you. Anyway, I think it's time you got over Jacob, it's not like he's done you any good. Plus, it could be good for you to get into a human relationship, where both of you just have crushes on each other, you know?"

"Yeah..." Leah said softly, and then she grinned. "'Kay, I'll tell him yes."
