When Jacob Black saw Leah Clearwater heading towards him with her wings still firmly attached he felt a way of relief pass over him. He had been worried that she would go off and do something stupid. Cutting her wings off would've been dangerous for a number of reasons. They could have cut an artery or something even worse. He was going to tell her exactly how angry he was. "You had me scared half to death do you know that? What the hell were you thinking? You could have died from a surgery like that. Doctors have told you that before so what made you think it would have been any different this time around? Do you have a death wish or something?"

Leah rolled her eyes and let out a long sigh. She had known Jacob would react like this when he found out what she had almost done. He was like a protective younger brother which at times could be great though at other times it was downright annoying. "I guess that I wasn't thinking and can you please stop yelling at me? It's not as if I went through with it or anything."

"Because the mind reader stopped you!" He snapped feeling heat starting to take over his body and doing whatever he could to push it back because he didn't want to shift and end up hurting her. Sometimes he lost control when he turned since the wolf liked to take over the human part of his mind while he was in wolf form. "What would you have done if he didn't show up? Would you have gone through with it? We promised each other that we would always stick together. If you were having seconds thought about surgery you should have to me about it. You are like my sister and I think that I had a right to hear it from you and not Alice. If it had me I know that I would've told you what I had planned. I respect you enough I'd want to tell you to your face."

She pushed her hair from her face before setting her hand on her hip. "Look Jake I am sorry I didn't tell you what I was planning, but it wasn't something I had planned for a while it was a kind of spur of the moment kind of thing. I just had a lot on my mind and I thought maybe this would fix things. I was wrong alright? I am not going to apologize twice so you better accept this one."

The wolf boy shrugged not ready to forgive her and yet knowing that she was absolutely serious and he better take what he could get. "I suppose I can forgive you as long as you promise to never pull another stunt like that ever again. If you thought I was angry just wait until you talk to Rosalie. She was absolutely furious at you and even I couldn't get her to calm down. You know she is pissed when sex doesn't get rid of her anger."

"Great I really look forward to that conversation." She muttered before letting out a breath and giving Jacob a half hug. "I promise that next time I want to do something stupid I will tell you so that we can do something stupid together. Are we cool now or do you want to throw in some more girly moments?"

"We are cool." Jacob told her with a chuckle. "You may want to hide for a day or two until Rose cools down since you know how she can be. I'll do what I can to speed the process up, but I make no promises because she was really angry at you."

"I'm sure it will be such a hardship for you to take her mind off of things." Leah said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "I'll see you later Jake I need to get something to eat and I need to think. I won't do anything stupid like I promised, but I just need time to figure some things out. I need to figure out what is best for me. I'm not happy and I haven't been for a very long time. Honestly I am not sure if I have ever been happy. I want happiness in my life and I need to find out how to do that for me."

Her friend nodded in understanding as a twinkle entered his eyes. "I know what you are saying Leah I really do. You need to do what is best for your and as your friend I support you. You know that Cullen guy isn't that bad. I'm just saying that maybe if you let him he could bring happiness in to your life like Rosalie did for me. I wasn't happy until I found her and maybe you need someone to do that for you."

The winged woman scoffed. "You think I should hook up with Edward? Jake you know that I don't date and for good reason. If Sam thought for a second that anyone touched his precious 'angel' you know what he would do to them. I don't want what happened to Embry to happen to Edward. You and I both know that Embry didn't leave despite Sam saying otherwise. The only reason Sam hasn't done the same thing to you is because he knows we are friends and nothing more. I won't take a risk like that again."

"Leah you have to take a risk like that or you will never be happy and we both know it." The tanned male gave her a look full of sympathy. "I know how hard you took Embry's disappearance, but you can't be afraid for the rest of your life. Besides, I have a feeling that Edward Cullen is a lot tougher than he looks. You should tell him about Embry and see if he wants to take the risk because this involves him as well."

TBC…

AN: I hope that you all enjoyed this chapter and I would love to hear what you all thought about it. I also need to know if you want a flashback about Leah and Embry or if you just want her to tell Edward. I can write it either way. Let me know what you think in a review.
