Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN NOTHING BUT CHANEL!

Leah's POV:

I dragged Bella on to the sofa keeping a careful watch on Chanel who was sitting next to a wry looking Emily and a confused looking Jacob. Sam was standing by the wall throwing awed gazes at Emily. Paul and Jared were practically shaking with excitement and Seth sat next to us. Quil and Embry were on Patrol.

"Let's get this over with!" I sighed wanting to escape to my room. There is only so much a girl could handle, it was like someone was stabbing me each time Sam looked at Emily.

"Yeah, I'm with Leah and I must say Jake my man you are one fast mover! Dude, you have two chicks fighting over you, you have learned from the master." Chuckled Jared.

"Wait 'til I tell Kim about some of the stories you've told me." Threatened Jake, looking embarassed.

"I was not fighting over him! He's my best friend and nothing more, Chanel was being manipulative and she staged the whole thing." Bella spat.

I cracked half a smile feeling proud of her; it's good to see her shy shell not holding her back. I was glad to see she was not about to let Chanel walk all over her.

"Puh-lease, you attacked me remember? " She scoffed, tossing her hair back.

"Can you cut the innocence? It doesn't suite you." I replied yawning and stretching back.

Honestly, I was board with her stupid act and the sooner everyone saw through it, the better.

"Who was talking to you? Why the hell are you here anyway? Nobody wants some bitter ex girlfriend hanging about." She snarled.

The room fell dead silent as Emily looked down, fiddling with her hands and Sam moved about uncomfortably and the pack avoided our gazes.

"Chanel, that's enough!" Chided Sam.

My anger came back in full force, I did not need Sam to defend me and how dare she embarrass me like that? Yeah, it was true, but so what?

"Screw you! You're nothing but the pack horse anyway, your own mom doesn't even want you. If anyone should go, it's you; you don't belong here. You phased by accident, hell you were an accident!" I taunted.

I knew I hit a sore spot as it was well known her mom did not want her and she was put up for adoption seven years ago, but I really did not care.

"Go to hell y-"

"Why don't you! Don't talk to her like that, your just a jealous cow. Jacob, I swear to you I did not just randomly attack her. You know I would never do anything like that, you know me like no other. She taunted me, she said I was damaged goods and I snapped. But I hate her." Bella interrupted.

Chanel's eyes went wide with shock and annoyance, she was a very good actor but if you looked close enough you would have saw the panic quickly cross her face.

"Bella! Really? Just give it up, I do not need to deal with you. You want to be Jacob's best friend and you don't want me to ruin that and I get that. I would never do that to Jacob, but I want to be friends to." She said, her voice oozing in sympathy.

"I-it was not like that! She said she's gonna be your girlfriend and take you away. That you will never-"

"Bella stop. Please, just don't make this harder than it needs to be, okay? I don't know what to believe but I think you should say sorry for punching Chanel. You need to accept that she's my friend to. Chanel, you put Bella in danger. Grave danger, I don't know if I can forgive you for that straight away." Jake whispered.

I found it hard to feel sorry for him, it was obvious she was lying. I mean, c'mon! Bella is the world's worst liar. He was acting like an idiot. Bella should forget about him and the leech and live a bloody normal life.

"No! I wont, she pushed me to it." Bella protested.

"Bella, I'm sorry okay." Chanel said, not sounding the slightest bit sorry at all.

Damn! She knew how to play it well, but I was one step ahead of the game.

"Jacob, how long have you known Chanel?" I asked.

"Three weeks."

"How long have you known Bella?"

"Practically forever."

"What do you really know about Chanel?" I continued.

Jacob was lost for words because truthfully he did not know anything about her. They had just met and anything he said she went along with, she had no brain.

"Exactly. Everyone knows Bella as shy, quiet and a little feisty but never impulsive. Do you honestly believe that she punched Chanel in some fit of jealousy? Chanel is a very good liar but you can't trick a trickster. I have been there and done that. It's nothing new." I concluded smugly.

Chanel's POV:

I inwardly cursed Leah to the fiery pits of hell because she had me to the T. But I honestly did not want to hurt Bella, but I hated seeing Jacob hurt; every time she rejected him, it hurt him.

He didn't show it to everyone, he only ever showed me what it was like when he rejected her. That one time he broke down, it killed me to see him like that, to see the normal sunny cheery look so broken and dejected.

So, yeah I hated her because after that day I vowed to never see him like that ever again but as long as she was in his life he would always be second best. Was it so bad that I wanted him to be happy?

"I'm sorry, it's just want to see you happy." I croaked out.

"You lied?" Jake said defeated.

"I'm sorry." I repeated.

Quickly, I dashed out the house and into the forest.

Bella's POV:

When Chanel ran out with a heart broken look on her face I did feel sorry for her, but I felt really grateful towards Leah because I knew without her, Chanel would have won Jake over.

I spent a few minutes talking with Jake then drove to the Cullen mansion where Edward met me at the door looking determined.

"Hey." I smiled softly adjusting my broken hand which was in a sling.

Suddenly, with inhuman speed he was in front of me and crashed his cool marble lips to mine.

What the hell? It became obvious that he wasn't going to stop so I punched him in the face. SNAAAP! That was my left hand broken...
