Well, I have been getting some good reviews, than you guys so much.
Thank you to AmandaWhitlock14 who pointed out that Bella should be more tan. I was kinda rushing there and base Bella of Kristen Stewart, but Bella's gonna be more tan from now on. So just imagine that I never said Leah was paler, and Bella is tanner. Thank you!
He walks her home
Now he walks alone
The days they turn into years
The eyes they drown in tears
Can you hear me scream?
Time Satnds Still - The All American Rejects
Leah POV
I woke up feeling fresh and energized. It was the best sleep I'd had in a long time.
I trudged down stairs. Dad had already gone to work. I grabbed a couple slices of bread and put them into the toaster. While I was waiting for them to pop out I heard a car pull up outside. I looked out the window and saw Bella getting out. I smiled and ran to the door.
"Hey Bella!" I yelled and hugged her. She laughed and hugged me back.
"Hey Lee." She replied. "I smell toast." I laughed at her and nodded.
"Want some?"
"Please." She laughed.
I went and put two more slices in the toaster as the other two popped out. I buttered a peice and threw it at Bella who caught it easily and started nibbling on it. I ate the other peice.
"So, you're not going to town dressed like that are you?" She laughed looking at my attire. I was dressed in baggy pajama pants ang a tight pink tank top.
"I thought you said pink wasn't your colour?" She accused. I blushed.
"It's night wear, does it count?" I defended myself.
"Nope." She said taking another bite of toast.
"Fine." I sighed.
After we finished the other two peices of toast we went up to my room to decide what I'd wear. I took the time to look at what Bells was wearing.
Black skinny jeans with a huge rip in the thigh, a dark grey tank and a black waist length leather jacket, and the ultimate black and red cons.
"Okay, how about this?" I asked holding up a pair of blue baggy jeans and a brown shirt. Bells grabbed them and threw them out the window.
"Hey!" I yelled.
"Come with me." She demanded. I followed her out to her car. She pulled out a light grey pair of skinnies and a red tank top with a dark blue hoody. She thrust them at me and demanded I go change. I laughed at her antics and ran upstairs and back into my room.
I pulled the clothes on as quickly as I could, still tugging the hoody on as I ran downstairs. Yeah.. Bella had to catch me at the bottom of them.. Que the blush.
"See, you look good." She told me.
"Thanks." I said looking at myself in the reflection of the window. I really did look good.
"Now get your tiny ass in the car." She demanded. What was with all the demanding today? Then she laughed and broke all the tension. It made me laugh too.
After a long drive, well, not too long. it would have been longer if I was driving, but Bella was driving so fast I found myself gripping the seat alot. We ended up in Port Angeles.
"Was that so bad?" She laughed.
"Yes!" I gasped.
"Oh come on.. With your snail pace, we wouldn't have even made it here today." She joked. I huffed and folded my arms across my chest. Bells laughed at m antics.
"Thats never gonna get you anywhere, honey. Not with me anyway." She laughed.
We walked into the mall and bella was dragging me from shop to shop.
I knew shopping wasn't really her seen, but she said that she would need more clothes if she kept getting angry and phasing like she was.
"Shouldn't you be happy?" I asked.
"I was. I mean, I am. But you know when you just know that people are talking about you behind your back. It's infuriating. I'm not actually alowed at school." She admitted, sheepishly scratching the back of her head.
"Why?" I asked, I was genuinely curious.
"Alpha's orders. I punched a bitch too hard and broke half of her face." She was serious too. I gasped.
"Shouldn't you be suspended? Expelled?" I asked.
"The council knows. They kept me there, but I also got double patrols on my own. They don't trust me around anyone at the moment. Thats why people think your sick."
"How do people know already?" I asked as we looked at skinny jeans.
"Why else would good girl Leah Swan be out of school?"
"Touche."
"Fuck this." Bella said. She grabbed an arm load of skinny jeans from the rack. There was dark purple, green, yellow, light blue, dark blue, white, grey, black all sorts of colours. She grabbed two of most things.
"I want some too." She laughed.
"How do you propose to pay for all this?" I asked. She couldn't be spending this much money!
"Credit card." She said pulling out a black card.
"Are you-"
"Sure? Yes. Yes I am." She laughed. She tok the jeans up to the counter and paid for them. The guy tried to slip Bella his number. Bella laughed and rejected him before he even finished writing it.
We walked further into the mall and bumped, in my case, literally, into some random people. i looked up and locked eyes with Jake. something was different. I felt .. Weird. A good weird. Pulling me closer to Jake.
"How the fuck.." I heard Bella's voice.
"Did that happen?" Embry finished.
"Did he just..?" Quil added in. Did he what? What am I missing.
"Jake?" I asked. He blinked his eyes and broke out in a huge smile, picking me up and swinging me around yelling how happy he was.
"Finally! But how? Why not sooner?" He said.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Jake imprinted on you." Quil said.
"WHAT?" I nearly screamed. "How? I thought it was when you first looked them in the eyes."
"I have a theory." Bella spoke. Everyone turned to look at her.
"I have the same one." Embry piped up.
"Leah was so broken that-" Embry cut Bella off.
"That her soul was broken. Thats why Jake couldn't imprint on her." (Thank you Agony In The Shadows, who actually PM'd me this idea, it's fucking amazing! I never thought of it that way!) I was freaking out. But happy at the same time. Does that make sense?
No.
Didn't think so.
"Well, congrats. if you weren't part of the pack before, then theres no way you could get any closer now." Bella smiled. I ran at her and hugged her.
"How can you hug her without having a body part removed?" Quil asked.
"I don't hurt my family. And Bella is my sister. Jake put me back together, and Bella held me. We just connected." I smiled, Bella smiled back.
"So, basically, Bella put the last part of you back together, so your soul wasn't broken.. So Jakey here could imprint on you?" Quil asked again.
"Thats right." I nodded.
"Dude, thats some weird shit." Jake smacked Quil upside the head.
"So, you're actaully ready? For a.. err, relationship?" Jake stammered.
"I guess." I blushed and looked down.
"Hey!" Bella yelled.
"What?" Jake growled. I shoved him.
"Don't be rude to her." He nodded and smiled sheepishly.
"No being embarrassed. This is your soul mate." Bella said. "Speaking of which.. I should go see Paul. Jake, can you take Lee home?"
"Sure sure." He said, smiling down at me. I couldn't help but smile back. I hugged Bella before she left. Jake picked her up and swung her around thanking her. She punched him in the shoulder and told him to not touch her. Everyone laughed.
"Can we catch a ride back with you, Bells? I don't wanna be with the lovers over there." Quil asked Bella. I blushed.
"You can run. Your big enough and ugly enough." She told them as she walked away.
"Please, Bells!"
"Hey, i'm soo not ugly!"
"Bella..!"
The boys were running after her retreating form.
Jake took my hand in his and this time I felt a small electrical current running through them. I looked at our joined hands and smiled.
"Shall we go?" He asked. I nodded my head and he led me out of the store.
Thank you guys so much for the reviews.
Please keep reviewing. it makes my day!
Again, thank you to AmandaWhitlock14 who corrected my stupid ass mistake about having Bella pale.
And to AgonyInTheShadows, who suggested the idea of having Jake imprint on her now because her soul was broken. I think that was really clever, so thank you guys!
Love BHD
Xx
