Talking and Leaving

Leah's POV:

It had been two hours since my 'talk' with Jacob. Two hours since, I had the opportunity to feel his lips on mine again, to know that he loved me. And two hours since I walked away from him. Did it make me a hypocrite? I went around grieving and bitching about how men walked out on me, but I had walked out on Jacob, and looking back, me leaving had been rash and an act of jealousy. Jacob deserved some kind of explanation; some kind of closure, but I was to damn stubborn to give what little I owed him. But why was I stubborn, why wasn't I telling him how I felt? He knew what I had told everyone else, but he did not know what had been going through my mind that fateful day. I turned the question over and over again in my mind. Pondering my own foolishness. All my life that was all I ever wanted to know. Why? Why did these things happen to me? Who had I offended? Why did I phase, when females were not supposed to? Why did Sam imprint on my cousin, and not me? But most of all I wanted to know why I could not give Jacob the closure he desired and deserved. Edward and Bella had returned an hour ago from the anniversary get-away and Bella was spending time with Ness. Edward, on the other hand was sitting across from me, watching intently and listening to my thoughts. I had asked him why he was doing it about 20 minutes ago, and he said an outsider's opinion would help, especially with discerning what my subconscious really wanted.

Stupid mind rapist, but I was secretly grateful to him. Though it was not much of a secret, with him being a mind rapist and all. Across from me he grinned like an idiot. 10 minutes more of deep thinking and my therapist, Edward, A.K.A Dr. Sparkles spoke up.

"I think I know what the problem is" he said.

"Oh, do tell Dr. Sparkles." I said sarcastically. He glared at me before continuing.

"You love Jacob"

"The i-i- imprint, it, its making me love him" I stuttered.

"No Leah, its not you loved him long before the imprint. Search your feelings, you know it to be true" he said quietly.

"Do you want me to use The Force while I'm at it, Master Jedi?" I said sarcastically, I could not help it. He smiled his weird crooked grin, "But, Master, Dr. Sparkles, Edwierd what ever your name is, though I have a strange feeling your secret stripped name is Mr. Always Hard cause you are a vampire and you do have super hard skin, bur anyway you are right."

"Well, yeah" he said rolling his eyes.

"So that's it? I love him, it's that simple?"

"Leah," He said seriously, "You of all people should know that love is never simple."

Then the stupid bloodsucker walked away, probably hoping for a dramatic effect. Well he got his wish, a single tear slipped down my cheek, but I wiped it away quickly when I saw Stephanie and Alice coming up the stairs, each carrying at least ten shopping bags.

I am not helping put all that away.


Seth POV:

Nikki is so perfect. Beautiful, caring, loyal, sweet everything I could ask for in a woman. I had patrol so I phased and started to run the trail we had worn into the grounds years ago.

"Oh, hey Jake" I said, startled. I didn't know any one else was phased, "Wait Jake, where are you?" I did not recognize his surroundings.

"Seth, go home. You are in Leah's pack now. I forbid you from being in my pack" he said, using the alpha tone. Then the connection went dead. I raced back to the mansion; this was bad, really bad. I knew he was cut up over Leah, but his thoughts were almost suicidal. Again. I phased and pulled my cut offs on and ran through the door.

"Jacob's gone" I yelled.

"What do you mean, gone?" Leah said sharply. Everyone was there now, staring at me. So I told them about my conversation with Jake. But before I could finish, Leah dropped to the ground hyper ventilating. Then she threw up blood and started convulsing. Rose grabbed her shaking body and ran up to Carlisle study, with Carlisle not far behind.


Stephanie Rose POV:

I watched as Uncle Seth told us what happened to Jacob. Then my mother fell to the ground, shaking and spraying blood everywhere. My mom loved Jacob Black. Jacob was my father, and I had a decision to make. Amidst all the noise, no one saw me slip out. I phased once I was outside and made the decision to join my fathers pack.
He was asleep some where far away and I picked up his scent and started running. I had inherited my mothers speed and it took me about three hours to find him.

"Daddy?" I thought quietly. The big mass of russet fur moved, and then his huge head looked towards me, and I cowered in fear, he was so big and I was a little girl.

"Stephanie?" he asked, his thoughts filled with hope.


Rosalie POV:

We had Leah sedated and she was in a coma. Jasper and Edward had told us of her agonized emotions and thoughts and Carlisle said that the emotional strain had been too much. The coma was enabling her mind to cope and make sense of everything that happened. I sat by Leah's bed side watching my best friend lay there, not sure what to do. Then a strange thought hit me. Where was Stephanie Rose? Why wasn't she here, by her mother's side? I knew something was up; Steph rarely left Lee's side. I walked downstairs and sure enough she was no where to be seen.

"Has anyone seen Stephanie Rose?" I asked.

"No, we thought she was with you." May said, looking concerned. Everyone began talking and asking questions at the same time.

"I think I know where Stephie went!" Bree yelled from Embry's lap.

"Everyone SHUT IT!" I yelled, "Bree, where do you think Steph went?"

"To find Jacob" She said simply.

"It makes since, Jacob and Momma Leah love each other, even us kids can see it." Tempe added.

"But why can't we hear her thoughts? She is in your pack right? And as of a couple of hours ago I am too and I just returned from patrol." Seth asked Nikki.

"Well, Stephanie is young and the daughter of a very strong and powerful Alpha. She has always been able to change packs easily. She is probably the only one who can join Jacob right now because she is of his blood." Nikki said

"Well then we should go after her." Renesmee said.

"No, we can't!" Bree yelled, and everyone looked at her in shock, little Bree was usually so quiet.

"Bree is right!" Tempe agreed, these little girls always had each others backs, "Stephie needs to do this."

"They are right, Stephanie needs to do this. Let her go. She is the only one who can bring Jacob back and Jacob is probably the only one who can wake Leah up without her slaughtering all of us. Its likely Steph Rose is already with Jacob now. She is strong, like Leah she will be fine. Let her go." Emmett said. When Emmett agrees to something and then starts to speak all wisely like he just did, whatever he agreed to tends to be the right thing to do. Everyone sat down with a defeated sigh and Esme went into the kitchen to cook dinner for the people who still ate normal food.
