Pov: Bella
Edward was standing next to his car waiting for me to walk over, but as I looked at him all I could think about was what he might do when I tell him about Leah. After standing here for what felt like forever, I forced myself to walk over to him, and as I was walking over I noticed he was looking behind me, so I looked back to see what he was looking at. As I looked back, I saw that Leah was tense, and she looked like she wanted to stop me, I only hoped she wasn't thinking about why she was so upset. When I turned back, I noticed Edward was now looking at me, and as I got to him I gave him a smile hoping it would help.
"Thank you for coming."
"You don't have to thank me, you know I'm always here for you Bella." as he said that his eyes focused on Leah again, and I couldn't tell if he was upset. "But can you tell me why Leah is so on edge, Its like she is getting ready to rip my head off."
"What?" as I looked back, I noticed that Leah was now standing near the border with her arms folded, and was doing her best to keep calm. "Can't you read her mind?"
"Yes, but she keeps repeating a very annoying song so that I can hear what she is thinking." as he said that I saw Leah smile, and I wonder how many songs she had look throw, to find one that would annoy him. "So why don't you tell me." I tried to think of something to say, but I i decided to just tell him every thing that had happened. "Do you remember how you thought they were hiding something?"
"Yes."
"Well, you were right." I had hoped he would ask what they were hiding, but he just stood there waiting for me to continue. I played with a lot of ways to tell him, but I decided it was easier to just tell him, after all it wasn't going to matter how I told him, only that I did. "Do you remember when Jake asked me to come to the bonfire, and I found out that it was really a counsel meeting. Well, during the meeting something happened, and I didn't know about it then, I just barely learned about it." I was rambling, I knew what I needed to say and I couldn't, and I was starting to get why it was so hard for Leah to tell me. "But during he meeting when Leah looked at me she..."
"she imprinted on you." when he said that I looked at him, i wasn't sure what to say, but I was trying to see how he was taking it, but he was just staring at Leah, and I started to worry. "How do you know it is true."
"What?"
He then looked at me "what if they told you that to keep us apart."
I was getting upset, did he really think they would use this as a way to keep us apart. "You really think they set this up to keep us apart, that's crazy. And if that was true, then Jake wouldn't have had a reason to do what he did. But if you really need to proof read her mind, and see for yourself."
"I would, but she Is still..." when he stopped I knew Leah had stopped playing the song in her mind, and was letting him see everything. I could tell he was getting upset, and didn't know what was going to happen next, and when he stepped in front of me and faced Leah, I knew I needed to stop this. "Keep dreaming because it doesn't matter what you think, Bella will choose who she wants to be with, and trust me it won't be you."
As he started moving closer to Leah I did something stupid, and you would think with all of the stupid things I have done,that I would have learned not to do them. but as soon as i stepped in front Edward and tried to stop him, I knew it wasn't going to end well. Because he was too focused on Leah so when he me out of the way, he used to much strength, and the next think I knew I was hitting the ground hard. As soon as I hit the ground, he was right next to me, but he keeps his eyes on Leah. As I looked at her I could see Leah was shaking, and was about to shift. And I knew that if she did then the wolves would know what had just happened and then everything would get a lot worse. So I hurried to my feet, ignoring the pain I was in, and told them both that I was fine, even throw I knew I wasn't. "Look, if you two want to fight, then you will have to go threw me, so if you want to hurt each other that badly then go ahead. But know that I will do everything to stop you, because I would rather die than let people I care about hurt each other because of me."
"Bella I'm not going to let him get away with what he did to you, so please move."
"Give it your best shot." they both were ready to fight and I had to stop it.
" Have you both forgotten that if you do this, then the treaty will be broken, which mean you won't just be hurting me, but your friends and family as well." I could see that made them hesitate but it wasn't stopping it, my only choice was to get them away from each other. "Edward you need to go."
"Not without you."
"That's never going to happen."
Leah was very close to crossing the border and if she did Edward could Attack hear "Edward stop, I need... Some time to think, and right now I didn't really want to see you." I could tell what I said hurt, but I needed him to go, before the wolves find out what he did.
"I'll go, but I'm calling Carlisle to come and get you."
"Like I said before, that's never going to happen... Leach." when Leah said that he started moving towards her again, and the old saying about taking two steps forward and one back played in my head.
"Its ok Leah, he just want to make sure I'm ok, and that's something we all want right? So why don't we let him meet us somewhere where you feel safe, she he can make sure I'm ok."
She was quiet for a second, and was thinking were the safest place would be. "Sam and Emily's."
I turned to Edward to see if he was going to agree, and as he just nodded his head he made his way to his car. As soon as he was gone, I started walking over to Leah, and as the adrenaline was out of my system, I noticed that my leg and side were both hurt, and it was hard to move. I guess Leah noticed to because, as soon as I was across, she took my arm and helped me to the truck she then drove us to Sam and Emily house.
Pov: Carlisle
When I heard my phone ring and saw that it was Edward, I wondered why he was calling, but I remember that before he left he mentioned Bella was acting strange on the phone. As soon as I answered it he started telling me what had happened, and as soon as he was done telling me, I grabbed my things and made my way to my car, but that's when Alice stopped me.
"I'm going with you."
"I'm sorry, but you can't, if what Edward said is true, then the wolves will be looking for a fight, and having two of us come on their land my give them the fight they want."
"But..."
I know how bad she wanted to go with me, she hated that she couldn't see Bella's future when she was there, and finding out she had gotten hurt upset her, but I knew it was a bad idea. "I know you're worried about her, which is why you staying here is a good idea, we don't want to put her in any more danger."
She seemed to understand what I was saying, let me go, but as I was about to get in my car, I saw Rosalie standing alone in the garage. I could tell something was bothering her, she looked very upset, and I was about to ask if she was ok when I saw Esme walking over to her, and I knew she was in good hands so I got in my car and made my way to Bella. As I drove down the road, Bella text me the address, so I could find it, but once I got to the border I slowed down. I made sure not to do anything that would upset the wolves, after all I was sure they would be watching and didn't want to upset them any more than they were. But even at a slower speed it didn't take long to get to the house, and as soon as I pulled up, I saw three guys waiting outside. I made sure to get out slow so I didn't give them a reason to attack me, I then made my way to the door.
"My name is Carlisle, I'm here to check on Bella." when none of them spoke and I started to worry, but then someone walk out side. I guessed it was Sam, but the way the others looked at me, but I wasn't sure, but when he asked me to follow him I did. He then leads me inside to a room to were Bella was, and as I entered I noticed she wasn't alone, there was another girl with her, and by the I'm going to kill you look she was giving me I guessed it was Leah.
"Hello Bella."
"Hi Carlisle."
As I sat down next to her I noticed Leah was getting more upset and was shaking, and knowing what might happen, I thought it would be a good idea if she waited outside. "You might want to wait outside."
"Not happing." I could tell she was stubborn and wasn't going to leave easily, but I already had a plan to help with that.
"Ok, but I need to make sure Bella hasn't broken any bones, which means she need to remove some of her clothes." as soon as I said that Bella stared blushing and Leah's eyes went wide. "But if Bella doesn't mind..."
Bella then when to speak, but Leah seemed to knew what she was going to say, and made her way out of the room. but before she left she said one last thing. "If you do anything to her, I will kill you." and with that she shut the door, and I knew that she was telling the truth.
"Do I really need to get undressed?"
"No, I just wanted to make sure you were ok without upsetting her any more than she was."
As I said that I saw Bella smile. "You're always keeping the peace, I tried that and this happened."
"Yes, but from what I heard and have seen I would say you did a very good job."
I started checking for broken bones and was quiet glade that I fond non, but she did have a few cuts and a few bad bruises on her left side, as well as her her ankle. I then checked on her hand and made sure it was still ok, and was happy to see that it was. After I bandaged her cuts and raping her hand and leg, and as I started gathering my things I notices she was staring at me, and that she looked sad.
"Are you mad at me?'
When she asked me that I became confused. "Why would you think that?"
"You look upset."
I didn't think about how I might appear, I was only thinking about making sure she was ok. "Your right, I am upset, but not for the reason you think."
"So it's not because of Leah imprinting on me."
"No, I'm upset because you were hurt." as i said that she smiled. "Bella you are a member of my family, and I think of you as a daughter, and seeing you hurt make me upset. But know this no matter how this all plays out, you will always be a part of my family."
As I finished, she stood up and hugged me, she then thanked me for not hating her. I hugged her back and told her to take it easy. I then opened the door to go and fond Leah stands close by waiting for me to finish. I gave her a smile as I walked by but she just glared at me, but I guess after the day she was having, the last thing she wanted was to be around anther vampire. When I finally walked out the door, I saw the boy from before that had led me inside, talking to a man in a wheelchair.
"Doctor Cullen, my name is billy black."
"It's nice to meet you." I did my best to be polite, but I could tell they didn't care about that.
"I would like to talk with you about what happened today." as he's said that his eyes shifted to the door, and as I looked back I saw Bella walk outside. "But not here, my place isn't fare from here." as he finished he had the young man take him to his car, so I smiled and waved good bye to Bella, and followed him to his house.
Pov: Rosalie
I was doing my best to avoid Edward after I heard what he had done, so I stayed out in the garage and worked on my car. I had wanted to be alone, but Alice had ether plans, because as soon as Carlisle left, she came in and started talking about Bella. The funny thing was, I wasn't paying attention to her or answering any of her questions, so technically she was having a conversation with herself, not that anyone would find that strange. But I knew it was only a matter of time until she forced me to answer her questions, so when she pulled me out from underneath my car I wasn't surprised.
"Well?"
"Well, what?"
"Do you think that Bella will pick Leah or Edward?"
I just rolled my eyes at her and slid back underneath my car, after all, I was trying not to think about Edward, but as soon as I was back underneath, she pulled me right back out, and as I was about to slide under again she stopped me.
"We both know that you're going to answer my question, so why go throw all the energy of trying to fight it and just answer my question now."
I knew I wasn't going to win, and so did she. "Look, I don't care what she does, it dose not affects me at all."
"That's not true, I saw what you wanted to do to Edward when you heard what he did."
I was about to say something when we both had a care pulling up, and we both knew it had to be Carlisle. Of course Alice was gone as soon as she know it was him, but I took my time as i made my way to the living room, and when I walk in i herd Carlisle telling everyone what he knew.
"Bella is fine, she has a few bruises and a couple of scraps, but she is fine."
I could see Alice was happy she hated when Bella was with the wolves because she couldn't see her future, but as I was looking at Alice I noticed Edward sitting next to her, and fought the urge to hit him. But as I looked at him I noticed he was getting upset and I wonder what Carlisle was thinking that was making him so mad. "Tell me you didn't do it."
As Edward spook everyone looked at Carlisle. "I didn't have much of a choice." as he said that Edward started shaking his head, so Alice asked the question we were all thinking.
"What did you do?"
"As I was leaving I stopped by billy black, and he asks me to meet him at his place, and when I got there I fond him and to more people waiting for me. They then told me that Edward hurting Bella meant they could consider the treaty void." I understood what he was saying, it meant they could use it to attack us. "But we came to an agreement, or better put we added something to the treaty. So as of now Leah is free to come on to our area as she wishes."
I was shocked did he really just say he gave an Mutt, free rain. I could tell I wasn't the only one that was shocked, and while everyone was arguing about it Esme stepped in.
"I'm sure you had a good reason, right."
"It was made to vary clear that if I didn't agree to this then the wolves would do whatever it took to keep Bella safe, and as far away from us as they could. So instead of having the entire pack looking to hurt us for going near her I agreed to give Leah permission to come and go as she needs."
I get it, all they would need is to say we did something to put her in danger, and they could attack us, so he gave in, after all better to have just one wolf than the whole pack running around. Ever one has been silent, thinking about what he said, but then we all heard something break, only to find that it was Edward Crushing his phone.
"Your ok with this, you aren't upset about that mutt imprinting on her."
"Its Bella's choice, and whoever she chooses, she will always be a part of this family."
"But what if she hurts Bella."
As he said the I couldn't help but laugh, which made him glare at me.
"What's so funny?"
"I just think its funny that the person that hurt her was you." that really made him angry, but I didn't care, and as he moved towards me I was hoping he would try something. But both Emmett, and jasper stop him, and when Esme put her hand on his shoulder, he calmed down and I wondered what she was thinking.
"Your right, I did hurt her, and I will have to live with that forever. But that doesn't mean I think she is safe there."
"safe or not, it's her choice, and her life, and you cant make her do what you want." as I said that I turned to leave, but as I was walking out I saw Alice give me her I told you so look, that made me want to smack her.
Pov: Leah
Every one was at Sam and Emily's asking billy about the new rule's him and the leach agreed to, and don't get me wrong I was happy that I was now free to now cross that stupid line, and hurt the leach if he went near Bella again. After all, the only reason he was still alive was because she was so close to him, and wile killing him was fine I couldn't risk her getting hurt. At the same time I wanted to tell Bella I told you so, but with the day she had just had I didn't think it a good idea.
"Leah." as I heard my name I looked up as saw Bella was looking at me. "Will you help me outside, I would go alone, but I'm sure that everyone inside would yell at me." as she said the everyone inside laughed, and I couldn't help but think about how strong she was. After everything that had just happened to her, she was smiling and making jokes. As we made our way outside, she stopped and looked for a nice place to sit down, that away from the house. "Here we go... This is a nice spot." as she sat down, she looked and I wondered what she was thinking. "Thank you for helping me, I was just tired of everyone talking about me. If I had to listen to much more of it, I might have jumped off the ruff." she could tell that I didn't think that one was funny. "Sorry, so I have been wondering when are you going to say it."
"Say what?"
"I told you so, I know you want to."
As she said that I smiled. "Well, you have been through a lot today day so I was saving it for tomorrow."
She started to laugh but had to stop when it hurt her, and seeing her in pain, made me feel like, I let her down. "You know it's my fault I got hurt, not yours, right?"
"What?"
"I can tell you think it's your fault I got hurt." she knew me too well, all it took was one look to know what I was thinking. But she was wrong, It is my fault I knew what might happen, and I should have stopped it. "Ok, so the first thing you need to know, is that I get hurt a lot, it's who I am. So if we're going to be together, you can't blame yourself every time I get hurt." as she said the words "be to gather" I turned and looked at her, and when I saw her eyes go wide I knew she realized what she said. "What I meant was... Um, if we are going to be spending time together."
"Right." it might have been a slip, but it showed me what she was thinking about.
"I think I need to get to bed." as she started to get up I stopped her.
"You know you're not going home right."
"Yes and I would put up a fight, but I'm sure you would win." as she finished, she looked away and stared at the ground. "Besides, I don't want to be at my house alone right now."
"Well, thanks to billy and my mom, that is never going to happen, because where ever you go I go." she looked at me like I was kidding, but she had no idea. "Ok, lets go to my house, besides my mom will kill me if we don't get there soon." with that I helped her up and we made our way to my house.
"Leah," when she said my name I looked at her. "Earlier, when Carlisle said that I needed to get undressed, You know he was joking right." as she said that I stopped walking. "But I have to say I loved the look on your face when he said that." t I wanted to smack myself, for falling for that, and I wonder what she meant by how I looked, but couldn't ask her since she keeps walking to her truck with a big smile on her face.
