Guys. Sorry I didn't update sooner. I just been so sleepy lol. But thank goodness finals are over. And just to let you guys know I do read the reviews. I made sure that they come straight to my phone. I wanted to thank you all for them. As said in an earlier chapter. I don't own any of these characters. That's all SM :]

Nahuel's POV

Once Tanya and myself got dressed we headed downstairs to the party. Alice walked past us in the hallway and reminded me that I didn't have any shoes on. So I went back upstairs alone, slipped on some loafers that Alice had purchased for me and went back down the stairs.

I looked around the living room trying to take it all in when my eyes locked with someone. She was, without a doubt, the most beautiful woman who ever walked the face of the earth. Her eyes pierced thru my soul. She was an angel. She was Leah... LEAH? Why was Leah staring at me and why can't I look away?

I continued to stare at her even when I heard someone gasp. Even when she broke eye contact. Even when Edward ran over to where she and Jasper had been sitting. Even when she pushed her hand over his mouth. I couldn't stop looking at her.

"No Edward. Don't say it!" Leah said. I wanted so badly to ask what they were talking about but I learned my lesson the first time about asking questions. Thankfully another girl was brave enough to ask. Leah kept her hand over Edwards mouth. Everyone was looking at her waiting for an answer.

"I can't do this shit right now." Leah said before she ran out the room and up the stairs.

Why did I have a feeling that I was the cause of Leah's outburst. I should have listened to Esme and never looked at her. But I felt some sort of pull to her.

Or maybe it wasn't me. Maybe everybody had a staring problem because now Jasper is staring at me. although it's not the same as staring at Leah. If I'm mistaking, it was more of a glare coming from Jasper. The man looked angry. But want have I done.

EDWARD!

I thought in my head. His head snapped up to look at me. Meet me outside. NOW! He nodded his head and I turn to walk out the door. Down the steps and into the forest. I'm sure he can follow my scent. I was getting more and more angry with every step I took. What did I do to deserve this treatment. I could smell Edward approaching.

"Edward" I spoke out. "What was that with Leah?"

"I'm sorry Nahuel but that isn't my place to tell."

I was beginning to lose patience. Well then whose place was it.

Edward answered my unspoken question. "I suppose it's Leah's place."

So I said "Okay well since you won't of any help where it involves Leah maybe you can help out with Jasper. What's his problem with me?"

"Nahuel, to tell you Jasper's problem would be to tell Leah's and I'm not at liberty to discuss that. It would be better if you talked to Leah first. Once you two talk I can better help you on what's going on with Jasper."

"Huh. Well thank you for you time Edward." with that I was back in the house to get Leah. I followed her scent to Carlisle's office. I could hear a heartbeat behind the door. I'm sure it was hers. I tried to open the door but it was locked. "Who is it?" I heard Carlisle ask from the other side of the door. "It is I, Nahuel. May I come in to speak with Leah. It is rather important."

The door opened a small amount and out stepped Carlisle. He closed the door behind him. "Nahuel, Leah needs sometime to herself now." I was trying to not let my anger get the best of me but I couldn't help it. Why was she avoiding me?

"Leah!" I yelled thru the door. "Get out here this instant. You obviously have something you need to tell me and I'm here now. So let's just get this over. Then you don't have to ever speak to me again."

"Nahuel, I suggest that you calm down. Until then I will not allow you to speak with Leah." Carlisle yelled at me. I never heard Carlisle raise his voice before. I was completely shocked.

"Fine" I said before walking off. I needed to take my anger out on something. I felt sorry for all the defenseless animals that I slaughter tonight but I needed to hunt.

...

"That's why you won't with me... Because of the dog?" Tanya mumbled.

"She's not a dog Tanya. Don't be like that." I said. Why did Tanya decided to track me down. I was already angry and her taunts weren't making my mood any better. I was considering ripping her head if she didn't back off.

"Be like what Nahuel? I just call them as I see them."

"Why did you come here Tanya." When she didn't answer I ran away deeper into the forest in search for another animal to feast upon. Tanya easily kept up with me.

"I came to actually help you Nahuel. It's has to do with the dog."

I froze. I couldn't rip her head off because she had information I wanted. I couldn't even chide her because I was now needing her. Needing her to tell me what she knew. So I took a deep breath and turned to face her. Of course she had a smug look on her face. That look almost made me turn to leave. But I thought against it. I swallowed the venom that filled my mouth. Afraid that my anger would surface again if I spoke, I just waited for her to continue in silence.

"I'm leaving today. Actually everybody is leaving. Except for you and the dog of course."

"What are you talking about Tanya?" She better not be wasting my time. Tanya took a deep breath like she was getting irritated.

"Alice, Jasper, and I are going to Alaska. Although they'll only be there for a few days. Carlisle and Esme are going somewhere in Canada. Carlisle wants to attend a medical convention and Esme wants to go with him. Edward convinced Bella that they should got to their cottage tonight. And I don't know where Rosalie and Emmett are going. All I know is that Rose said she's not staying in the house with the bipolar half vampire and the suicidal wolf. So you and the dog will be alone in the house. You could try get her to talk to you. Make something happen." She winked at me.

All I could do was smile. There was some hope after all. I wasn't even angry at Tanya anymore. I wasn't angry at all. I pulled Tanya into a big bear hug.

"Okay lover boy. You can put me down now." I sat her back on the ground.

"Tanya... When is everybody leaving?"

"Actually Me, Alice and Jasper are the last ones. Everybody else left already. I came to say goodbye and wish you luck while Alice went to go fill up the gas tank. Jasper is still at the house."

"Well thank you Tanya. And I'm sorry things didn't work out the way you hoped."

"No big deal Nahuel. I got something good out the deal." she chuckled. "You should go back to the house and clean yourself up before you talk to her."

I looked down at my clothes. She was definitely right. So I headed back to the house alone because Tanya wanted to catch a quick meal before it was time for her to go. I could see that Alice wasn't back from the gas station yet. I walked into the house and up to the stairs to my room to grab some clean clothes and a towel. When I came back out to got take a shower I noticed that Leah's bedroom door slightly opened. She and Jasper were conversing. I didn't have to strain myself to listen because I could hear their whispers perfectly clear.

"I love you Leah Clearwater." I heard Jasper say.

"Jasper Hale Cullen I have loved you for some time. You helped put me back together when I was broken. You shined light on me in my darkest hour. I will always love you for that." Leah replied to him.

Then if I'm not mistaking I heard a kiss. So this how it truly was. It all made sense know. This was why they were so close. I never stood a chance. This is why Jasper was glaring at me earlier. Because he could feel what I felt for Leah. But he obviously already staked his claim. She had to be his secret lover because I know Alice wouldn't approve of Jasper having a girlfriend on the side. This was crazy. I ran to the bathroom and stepped in the shower. Turning the water on and tried to scrub away what just happened.

But you can't wash away things that you heard. And I most definitely heard Jasper and Leah profess their love to one another.
