Movies
I woke up the next morning and pulled on a hoodie and shorts. I walked downstairs and grabbed a bagel. I was about to walk out the door when I turned around and left a note for mom, since apparently that was what we were suppose to do now. I finished the note and went to get Seth, he woke up and walked downstairs, but I had told him I was going ahead of him. I ran into the down pour and down the path. I walked to the waters edge and expected to see Jake sitting there but it was lonely. I looked around before I saw a shirt floating in the waves; it was Jakes. Oh god I thought, he was drowning in the waves. I was about to jump in but the water was freezing cold because of the rain. "Jake!" I called and tears began to pour down my face. "Jake!" I called his name again but it was drowned out by the wind. All of the sudden I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me and I jumped and turned into them. I knew it was Jake and I buried my head in his shoulder, staining his shirt with tears. Even though I knew he was alright he still had scared me, I couldn't live without him. He was shaking with laughter but I didn't care, "Ha, that was for the stunt you pulled yesterday." He said chuckling. I just kept crying and I felt the vibrations of his laughter stop, "Leah, what's wrong?" He asked and pulled me back looking at me. His eyes were filled with concern, "Jake you scared me so bad, I thought you were going to die." I said sniffling. He pulled me back into a hug and stroked my hair, "Its okay Leah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry." I took a deep shuddering breath and pulled back from him. I blinked a few times and looked up into his face. "Are you okay, do you still want to run?" He asked, his eyebrows pushed together in concern. I nodded; I had waited to long to just let some stupid tears get in the way of my freedom.
We sat and waited on the beach for Seth a little while and when he got there we phased and took our daily routes. I ran as fast as I could not caring if raindrops clung to my fur and made me run slower. It took a lot of concentration to get my thoughts to focus on anything but Jake.
After I was done my run I phased and tugged my clothes on before I sprinted back to the beach. Seth was there pulling his shirt on before heading off to the Cullen's. Jake turned around and smiled at me and I couldn't help but think how different our attitudes towards each other had changed since the last run. I made my way over to him and he looked out at the sea. I followed his gaze and walked to the shore. I sat down on a piece of driftwood and let the rain soak me.
Through out the entire run, I had been sad, which had helped my thoughts towards Sam a little bit. Jake was only thinking about Bella. I thought about how much he wished they could be together and I swear my heart shattered. I looked at the ground letting the pain pull me under. My heart sank; I would never be with Jake because he didn't love me and never would. I was silly to think about him like this. A tear dripped from my eye and washed away into the ocean. I quickly wiped it away as I felt Jake sit beside me. "So what do you want to do for lunch?" He asked, I guess it was alright that we could be friends but nothing else. I sighed, "Come on; let's see what there is in my house." I walked up the beach, my head down the entire time.
We had found a couple boxes of hot pockets and I was currently watching them rotate in the microwave. Jake was filling up cups with soda and was filling a bowl with chips. When they were done I pulled them out and carried them to the coffee table, grabbing one as I sat done. We watched a show quietly, occasionally taking a sip of soda or reaching for a chip. We finished eating and sat in front of the TV not really paying attention to the pictures on the screen. Jake looked over at me, "I'm bored." He said and I nodded in agreement. I looked at him, waiting for him to suggest something. "I know! Let's get some of the guys and go see a movie." He said excitement flickering to life in his eyes. "Okay." I said and walked over to the phone. I paused and turned to Jake, "Who all should we invite?" I asked and he thought for a minute, "Embry, Quil, Seth's at the Cullen's so not him, and Jared." He said and I nodded. I called Embry first and his mom answered. "Hi can I talk to Embry? This is Leah Clearwater." I said politely. I heard his mom call away from the phone and then Embry was on the line, "What's up?" he said. "Do you want to go to the movies with me and Jake and a couple of the guys?" I asked. There was a minute before he said, "I can't Leah, I got grounded because I got in a fight, sorry." He said and I said okay and hung up. I called Quil next and got the answering machine, "Hello this is the Ateara Family, please leave your name and phone number after the beep and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you." I waited for the beep and then started to talk, "Hey Quil are you there? It's Leah. Pick up." I waited and then heard the click as the phone was picked up, "Hello?" came a breathless Quil. "Me and Jake and a few guys are going to the movies and we wanted to know if you wanted to come." I asked. "Sorry, but I'm babysitting Claire today and she's a bit wild, so I can't take her with me." He said and I heard a crash in the background and then Quil's shout and Claire's giggles. He didn't return to the phone and I hung up before calling Jared. He picked the phone up on the first ring and I started out with the same question. "Nope, I got to go to some family thing with Kim's family. It's really formal and I can't miss it. Sorry." He said and then I heard Kim, "Honey just let me fix your bowtie its crooked." She murmured and I snickered. "I got to go Leah, bye." Jared said and hung up the phone.
No one could come. I dragged my feet back to the couch and slumped into it. "So? Who's all coming?" Jake asked. "No one." I muttered. He looked at me, "No one could come?" he asked. "Nope. They all had plans." I said and threw my head back onto the cushions. It was silent for a moment before Jake said, "Well we could still go." I raised my head and looked at him, "Yeah…we could." I said my excitement growing so wildly that I had to remind myself that he didn't love me. He smiled and we headed out the door.
Jakes P.O.V.
Man, it really sucks that no one can come to the movies. That was our only ticket to not being bored. Unless…we could still go. Yeah, it wouldn't seem weird that I wanted to go only with her would it? Oh well, I just had to remember that she probably doesn't love me. "Well we could still go." I said hoping silently that she would say yes. She looked at me and hesitated for a minute. God, she's probably so repulsed by me right now. I am so stupid for asking, "Yeah…we could." She said. Wait, she said yes. She said yes! I felt like yelling at the top of my lungs but then I remembered it wasn't a real date. Calm done Jake, she doesn't like you. I kept that fresh in my mind but was still happy. I smiled and we walked out the door. We drove to the theater in my car, blasting the music with the windows down. The rain had stopped now and all that was left was a cool wind. Leah looked out the window as the breeze blew her hair back. I couldn't help but smile, she was so beautiful and happy. We pulled into the parking lot and then went to get our tickets. We had combined our money and got snacks and were now currently sitting in theater four, eating popcorn. Soon the lights got dark and the previews started. We watched them and whispered to each other what movies looked good. After the previews were over the movie started and we slouched in our seats, getting comfortable.
The movie was good, as a joke I had gotten tickets for the underworld. Even though it wasn't new it was still playing and I thought we could see how bad they screwed up the truth. It was actually pretty good. I couldn't stop laughing at the way they put collars on the wolves to keep them from phasing. Leah loved the cliché way the vampires looked and when they burned in the sun, we were practically rolling on the floor in laughter. It was a good thing we were the only people in there.
When the credits finally rolled up our sides burned from laughing so much. I dropped her off at her house and then went drove to my house. I walked in and saw my dad watching T.V. "Hey Jake, it's about time you spent some time at home." He said and I just rolled my eyes. "Where were you anyways? Didn't you stop at twelve?" He asked. "Yeah but I ate lunch with Leah and then we went to see a movie." I said grabbing a soda. "Oh did Jakie take Leah on a date?" He said a mischievous twinkle in his eye. I groaned, I knew I shouldn't have said anything. "No dad, it wasn't a date. Embry, Quil and Jared were all supposed to come with us but they couldn't. We didn't want to sit around the house so we went anyways." I said and he nodded in that 'okay, whatever you say' kind of way. I took a swig of soda and just rolled my eyes again.
Leah's P.O.V.
I stood on the porch and watched him drive away for a minute. I wished so bad that he would love me the way I love him. I sighed and turned the doorknob. My mom was standing at the oven making dinner. She turned when she heard the door open, "Where were you Leah?" she asked. I internally groaned, so now we were going to have one of these conversations. "I went to the movies mom." I said hoping it would be the end of that. "Oh, well who took you? Or did you walk?" she asked knowing someone had taken me. "I went with Jake, we were supposed to go with Embry, Quil and Jared but they bailed on us." I said leaning against the counter. "Oh, well why didn't you ask Paul, he might have been able to come." She said. I sighed, "No one likes to deal with Paul's temper. I'm going to my room okay?" I said wanting to escape this interrogation. She nodded, "Dinner will be ready soon." I nodded and walked upstairs to my room. Seth wasn't back yet; he was probably sleeping at the leech's place. I flopped down on my bed and just as I was getting comfortable, my mom called me down for dinner.
It was quiet, neither of us really had anything to say and I was glad my mom had stopped with the questions. After dinner I helped clean up and then went to bed, hoping that I would sleep well.
Hmm, I wonder whats going to happen tomorrow?????? Any guesses? As always, review!
