a/n Ok so you probably all hate me for not updating and I completely understand! Ok so I am replacing 'she sings good' with she twist her hair when she is nervous. I think you guys are really going to like this chapter! Please review and forgive me for not updating in forever!

Jake pov:

I am really nervous. Today will either be the best day in my life or possibly the worst. But she made it seem like she wanted it….. I can't help but think this won't go down badly. Because what if she doesn't agree! What if she leaves! What if she falls in love with Emmett! Ok I don't really see the last one happening as A, she still isn't lovey dovey with the vampires [excluding Esme and Rosalie] and B, he's Rosalie's and Rosalie is Leah's best friend and Leah wouldn't do that to Rosalie. I hope.

My car isn't sounding too good so later I may have to work on it. Leah will probably sit in the garage and talk with me. She tells me often that I have issues being alone. She may be right. But it isn't bad that I like human company! Ok well maybe not exactly human but still, I like to have another person to talk too.

I pull into the driveway and turn off the beat up, old car. I go straight to the kitchen and make myself a sandwich. It is the kind Leah taught me to make, ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, cheese, ketchup, barbecue sauce and hot peppers. It sounds disgusting but taste delicious. Within a week Leah had taught me how to make them as she so kindly informed me that she was not going to be a little bitch and do everything for me like Bella did for Edward.

She had raised an eyebrow like she expected me to challenge her. I wasn't stupid, I knew not to piss Leah off when you lived with her and I hadn't expected her to do everything for me. I wanted a woman who was a challenge not one who was like Bella. I had now realized how completely pathetic she was and unfortunately is. Even as a vampire she has no backbone.

Leah isn't home and for once there is no out tonight playing! And I got to drive again! I had missed driving so much! I had actually almost forgotten how to, courtesy of Leah always driving. She had explained to me that she just couldn't trust other people driving because her best friend had died in a car accident. It had immediately made so much more sense to me when she said that. I no longer asked to drive when I was with Leah because I didn't want to make her uncomfortable.

I hear feet stomping up the stairs and the door slamming loudly. I shove the rest of my sandwich down my throat barely taking time to swallow. I have a feeling this may be a very LONGGGGGGGGGGGGG day. Leah looks pissed and I can almost see the steam coming from her ears. She paces along the kitchen not even bothering to say hi to me. She is muttering and growling so low that even I cannot hear her.

I let her storm about for a few more minutes before I finally ask her what made her mad. I hope it isn't something stupid Paul said to her. Because I will gladly go kick his ass is he hurt Leah in any way. Leah looks at me, a small and defeated look in her eyes. Her finger reaches into her hair and starts to wrap it around her small finger.

Leah never does this so I am fairly worried about what must have happened. I reach forward and give her a warm hug. She snuggles into my embrace and I can't help but think of how perfectly we fit each other. Her head is rested comfortably on my shoulder and facing my neck. She murmurs something that I can't hear and the vibration of her voice tickles my neck. I pull back and look at her. She looks incredibly nervous.

In a completely serious tone I ask "Leah who's ass do I have to kick?" I mean every word but usually Leah responds with an eye roll or a 'I can fight my own battles, I don't need you help'.

But today her answer is completely unexpected. "Sam's" her voice is dark and she looks like she would both like to cry and kill Sam. Without meaning to I let out an animalistic growl. Leah just shakes her head pitifully. I don't get why Sam can't leave her alone! He left her and married her cousin, he has no right to still talk to her. He has no right to still act like he cares, even if it isn't an act. Because him caring wasn't enough to stop Leah from having to be maid of honor at his wedding to her cousin! And he doesn't care enough to just leave her alone!

Leah places her warm hand on my chest, taking a break from twirling her hair. It does calm me down a little bit but not nearly enough to not want to go rip Sam to pieces. "Leah what happened? What did he do? What did you do?" I manage to keep the growl out of my voice somehow.

"I was out patrolling when I saw Sam. I planned on ignoring him and just continuing on my way. I didn't really feel like talking to him. But he phased and started talking crap-"

I can't help but cut her off. "What kind of crap?" The question was odd and almost humorous but Leah didn't even smirk. She frowned and started twirling her hair again. By now I had figured out that she twirled her hair when she was very nervous.

"He was saying how you and Renesme will end up together, that I am just a cheap screw, you don't love me, I'll end up alone and hurt again, that you don't care-" Her voice is so tired and weak but I can't help but cut her off again.

"That is not true Leah! I care about you ten more times than I do about her. I will never leave you! You mean so much to me and I would never use you or leave you like that dumb ass did-" Now I am the one who is fuming and getting cut off!

"I know Jake! I know! Sam just doesn't want me to be with anyone else. He wants me to always be pining for him. He doesn't realize that I am over him. And I know you will never hurt me like he did. But that isn't the point of what I was telling you before. He got me really, really angry and I snapped. I didn't punch like I wanted to but I told him something I shouldn't have. I didn't mean too! It was an accident!" Leah groans as she finishes. But I am interested in what she said so after a moment I ask her what she said.

Leah blushes a violent shade of scarlet and murmurs something as she stares down at the tiled kitchen floor. I barely heard her so I aks her to repeat whatever she had said. She looks up at me and whispers "I told him I was getting married to you and that you were not going to leave me. You should have seen the look on his face! He flipped out! But I don't what to do now! That whole pack will give me hell when they find out that we aren't getting married!" Leah looks stressed and gives me a pitiful look. "I am so sorry Jake!"

I let out a loud laugh and Leah punches me in the arm. "It isn't funny Jake! I am going to look like a loser!" I shake my head and pull her close again. She only refuses for a moment. But then she hugs me back.

I step back from her and resist the urge to twirl my own cropped hair. I pull something out and before Leah can fully understand what I am doing I am on one knee. "Leah, I love you so incredibly much and I can't picture a life without you. I have trouble picturing just a day without you! I don't care what Sam says because it is not true and if you want this too I want to be married to you Leah Rayne Clearwater."

Leah looks like she is in shock but quickly registers what just happened. She jumps up and down excitedly and squeals loudly. She nods her head rapidly and all but screams "yes!" I slide the ring onto her finger and she looks dazed for a moment. She gives me a beaming smile and leans forward for a sweet kiss. It worked out well for both of us. And I learned something new about Leah, when she is nervous she twirls her hair around her finger.

Please review! I hope you guys like it!
