Truth
Jakes P.O.V.
I woke up the next morning and groggily rolled out of bed. I pulled on a pair of shorts and walked into the kitchen, looking for some cereal. I ate it quickly and then headed down to the beach to wait for Seth and Leah. I sat on a piece of driftwood and tried to get my thoughts to focus on Bella and how heartbroken I was over her. It was my cover up story, so no one would find out that I was in love with Leah. I sighed, what was the point of being in love with someone who didn't love you back. All day yesterday the only thing she thought about was Sam and how much it hurt that he wasn't hers. She was clearly not over him. I was starting to get depressed and angry at the way my feelings wouldn't just realize that loving her was wrong. She didn't love me and yet I kept getting my hopes up.
Just then Leah and Seth appeared. Leah looked gorgeous even though she was soaking wet from the heavy rain. We talked about what territories we would run and then phased and started off. I was sure to put on my sadness about Bella façade, making sure that none of my feelings for Leah soaked through. Halfway through the run I checked in with Leah's thoughts and was sad to know that she was thinking about her heartbreak over Sam. I felt my heart shredding and I struggled to keep myself impassive. I was getting angry now, what was the point of hanging out with a girl that didn't even like you. I would have to break it off. I knew I would be selfish, trying to protect myself, but if she really didn't feel anything for me, it wouldn't hurt her anyways. I decided to just pretend like nothing ever happened, we still hated each other.
I could feel how much this would hurt, how much of a lie it would be, but I knew I had to do it. I almost broke down in tears and had to quickly stop a howl before anyone got suspicious. I decided to just phase now so I wouldn't have to hide my thoughts anymore. I pulled on my clothes and headed back to the beach to wait for the other two. Seth left for the Cullen's but Leah came walking over towards me. "So what do you want to do for lunch?" she asked. I started to walk up the beach, "Nothing." I said working to keep my face emotionless. "What? You mean your not hungry or anything?" she said disbelieving. "No." I said and she caught on to my mood. "Jacob, what's wrong?" she asked, concern filling her beautiful eyes. I blinked, "Nothing." She clenched her jaw, "Don't give me that bullshit. I know something's wrong with you, why can't you just tell me?" she said, trying not to yell. "Nothings wrong Leah." I said my voice monotone. She stopped and fixed a livid glare at me. "Dammit Jake! Why can't you just tell me? You have to make everything so fucking complicated!" She yelled. She finally triggered an emotion out of me, anger, "What's wrong is that I'm sick of hearing about Sam and how much you miss him. God Leah, think about something else for once!" I shouted back. She stopped, gaping at me, "Me?! What about you? You and stupid bloodsucker Bella! She's all you ever think about! You are such a hypocrite Jacob, you go and yell at me for thinking about Sam when you're thinking about Bella all the time." She said and turned to leave but she stopped, "You know Jake, I don't care about Sam anymore. He's nothing compared to you! It was all a cover up, I just never wanted you to know that I loved you, but it doesn't matter anymore." She said and I could see tears falling from her eyes. She loved me. All this time I thought she didn't have any feelings for me, but little did I know that she loved me. She turned to leave again but I stopped her, quietly whispering, "Leah, I love you too." She froze and looked back at me. She shook her head, "You're just saying that. I don't believe you." She said and now she was really crying. It was hard to tell with the rain but I could see her eyes were rimmed with red. "You don't love me, you never will. Everyone hates me. I don't believe you, you can't love me." She refused to believe me and to shut her up I took two long strides and pressed my lips to hers.
It was heaven. I had wanted to do this for so long. She hesitated for a moment but then she kissed back, molding her lips to mine. I felt her lips curve up in a smile and I grinned too. When we finally pulled apart the only thing she whispered was, "I believe you." And I kissed her again.
Leah's P.O.V.
I turned to leave because I could feel the tears starting. I stopped though; I had to tell him one thing before I went. The one thing that could set me free from these cleverly woven lies. "You know Jake, I don't care about Sam anymore. He's nothing compared to you! It was all a cover up, I just never wanted you to know that I loved you, but it doesn't matter anymore." I said and the tears poured over. He stood and looked at me, his hard expression softening. I was finished here and started walking again but then Jake spoke, "Leah, I love you too." He whispered just loud enough for me to here. I stopped, that was a lie. He didn't love me; I could hear it in his thoughts. I looked at him and shook my head, "You're just saying that. I don't believe you." I said and as much as I wanted to believe him I knew it wasn't true. "You don't love me, you never will. Everyone hates me. I don't believe you, you can't love me." I wouldn't let myself believe this. I looked up at Jake again and what I saw surprised me. His eyes were filled with determination and before I could say anything else, he was kissing me.
I stiffened for a second before I realized that he was telling the truth. He did love me. I kissed back, enjoying the wonderful feeling. Our lips fit together so perfectly and I smiled thinking of how we were practically meant for each other. I felt his warm lips curve up in a grin and I held him tighter, pulling my arms around his neck. When I pulled apart for air I quietly said, "I believe you." And then he kissed me again.
