Hello! Thanks for all of those reviews from the last update. I read every single one of them and would love to thank each and every person who has reviewed throughout the duration of this story. Both negatve and postive comments. Thanks again guys here is the next update. Yeah, I know it sucks that they're fighting. Sometimes I do not have control over these things, as stupid as it sounds. You're probably thinking "But you're the one typing it!" Lol, yeah I know am. But it's like.. Um.. Like you're the character and you have to be tied to their emotions. Next chapter:
Somehow - and by the way I have no idea how- I managed to drag Leah along and even forced her to wear make up. Score! But it was after giving her the lecture that she is a girl, and she will come shopping with us whether she likes it or not, and if I say so myself it worked. She came. Grumbling something incoherent on her way to the car. Something about "Crazy girls". We even asked Claire, but the way she was in Quil's arm's was so sweet, asleep, her mouth making a little 'o' her tiny hands balled up her chest. She looked so adorable. "So" Leah said from her spot next to Kim in the back. "What the hell are we doing, and where are we going. It's pretty obvious we're not in La Push anymore." Mean while, the boys' were getting restless... (3rd person's P.O.V) "Should we follow them?" Embry said, looking up at the pack around him. Claire still sleeping peacefully within the warmth of Quil's arm's. "Anything could happen to them" Embry said, a worried look on his face. Quil, being the one who was holding Claire, decided to pass the 'oppertunity' and stay with Claire, he wanted to give those girls' some privacy, even Leah he believe it or not has done a lot to help the pack. She has taken extra shifts to help all of them out, even Sam, the man who broke her heart, she probably has taken more shifts then them all, even Sam who had a 8 month head start on her. She pulled her weight more than any of those guys. Quil thought a lot of Leah, when he never used to. She took his shifts for a whole week when Claire broke her arm and had to stay in hospital, recieving only 10 hours worth of sleep in one whole week. Quil knew not to take Leah for granted, and even though the other guys except Seth didn't see it, he knew that Leah had a soft side. The side before Sam broke her heart. Back with our favourite girlies -Andy's P.O.V-
And as me and the girls left I remembered looking back involuntarily at Embry, like a normal reaction. He looked at me with a frown, a bit of an angry expression on his face too. But by looking into his eye's I could tell the anger wasn't directed at me. His face automatically softened as I looked at him.
"Well my dear Leah" I said, looking at her through the rear view mirror, my glance going to her and the road "We're going shopping, watching a movie. And then we're going to eat"
"Awww shit. What have I signed myself up for?" She groaned slouching back in her seat.
"Technically I signed you up Leah. You're always with the boys. You work with them an all."
She yawned nodding. "It's annoying. How long are we going to be here. I am tired."
"Mmm..." I mumble. "3-4 hours. Go to sleep. I think we're capable of waking you up. In all types of crafty ways"
"Relax" Said Quil, sparing a glance at them. "Leah is with them. I'm sure she won't let anything happen to them"
Embry, being the over protective imprinter he is kept thinking of mental scenarios. Each scenario he thought of the more restless he became. What happened if Leah lost her temper and hurt his imprint? What if they got mugged? What if they got into a car crash? What if-
"This is making me restless. Let's go make sure they're okay!" Everyone in that room new that was just an excuse to see his imprint.
To him his imprint was the most wonderous, beautiful creature in this whole entire world. He knew he would do anything and everything for his imprint. He would hold her in his arm's, comfort her when she need to be comforted. Look after her when she is sick with something. Hold her gently when she got cramps. He would do all of that. He would even go shopping for tampons/ pads if that was what she would need, no matter how out of his comfort zone he would be there. He wanted to be the one to ask her to marry him, the one to be her first love. The one to give her, her first kiss. He was still working on that one. He wanted it to be just right, every aspect about her. He wanted to be at the beach, watching the sun descend to nightfall. That's when he would take the first step, a step closer to what he wanted to ask her at this exact moment. But even Seth new it would be to sudden to just come on out and ask her to marry him.
Quil thought at that exact moment, that he owed Leah a lot. Even his life. Last year, it was like a daunting memory to him, sometimes even gave him reaccuring nightmares. It was just the two of them on patrol, every was in bed sleeping or up eating. Leah had caught a scent that smelt so sickly sweet it could make them hurl. There was a vampire in La Push, but before a howl could erupt throughout his mouth he could feel something squeezing him, his ribs. Just like Jacob but Jacob's wounds were more extensive. He remembered, trying to howl, but the only thing that escaped his broken body was a whine that sounded so heart broken, it wasn't loud enough for the pack except for Leah to hear.
Leah who was trying to battle, not one but two vampires. Each time he kept trying to get up and save Leah, but each time he did, he was further on his way to getting consumed in a black hole that kept swallowing him up into the existance of some coma- like state. The last thing he heard was a howl full of pain. Like she was being tortured to no limit. That was where he got his respect for her. She saved him that night, and she was even on the brink of dieing because of it. Docter Cullen or better known to most of the pack as 'Docter Sparkles' came over, and even he, probably the world best docter said that Leah may not make it through the night. But she did, she made it. The pack new she wouldn't give up. It wasn't in her nature to do so. But each time Quil had this dream he was saw it in more dramatic and tormenting ways.
He smiled down at the little girl in his arm's, silently as he could he got up, craddeling the little girl in his arm's and quietly walked into Sam and Emily's room, placing her gently on their bed. Right then and there Quil smiled, switching the light off. Hoping that Claire would have a night full of peaceful dreams.
"Leah!" I said shaking her. "Dude! Time to wake your ass up!" I leaned over, shouting in her ear, her head went up, like a shot being fired throughout a field of cattle, and a little scream came out, did I mention she nearly tried to kill me as she awoke? Her frickin head nearly hitting mine. Accident my ass. Joking.
"Are we here already?" She asked, scratching her head in confusion. "I've only been asleep for five minutes" She yawned from her place on Kim's shoulder. Kim didn't mind, her arm was around Leah's waist.
"No, actually you've been asleep for about.." I started, glancing down at the watch on my wrist. "An hour and 5 minutes and 26 millie seconds. Approximately."
She nodded, straightening out her hair. And thanking Kim for being her pillow. That made me laugh, and Kim also.
"Shopping time!" I called, and in the process getting a unenthusiastic 'woohoo!' from Leah. "Can we eat first? I am starving!" Leah whinned.
"We can eat after we shop, okay?" I compromised.
"Fine, but if I get hungry I am sneaking off and getting something."
"Yeah right Leah" I said rolling my eye's. "You will be forced inside that change room whether you like it or not. And in a minute you'll be holding my hand. After all, we are cousins. So, what's it going to be?" I asked, my hands going on my hips.
She laughed at me "You look rediculous doing that" She said, still laughing. "Anyway, I'm going to get some foo-" I cut her off by my hand going around hers in a death grip.
"Let's go!" I said, causing her to laugh again.
"Fine" She groaned, my hand still around her wrist in a death grip.
"You promise you're not going to run away?"
"Promise, and it's not like I have the keys" She said. "But" She added. "I refuse to try anything on, no skirts no dresses."
"Ha, ha. We'll see about that Leah" I said, smiling slyly at her. Let's just say I know how to work my magic on people, how do you think I got her to wear makeup, and do her hair?
"Let's go into this shop" I said, walking into a very cool clothes shop, Quin and Kim by my side. The shop was named Sonica. Kind of cool name, right?
It was full of clothes, all sizes, colour and length. Whoa, this is like a girl's dream.
"Leah" I said, letting go of her arm. "I'm going to trust you to sit down over there. Okay?" I said, looking at her. A smirk on her face. "And if you run away" I added. "I. Will. Find. You" I said, trying to conjure up my threatening tone, enthasizing the words "I will find you" a threat and a promise mixed into one.
"Okay then" Leah said narrowed eye's. "That was actually really scary. I'm just going to sit over there" She said, laughing a little a mix of awkwardness mixed in to combine the sweet sense of The Awkward Laugh Syndrome.
With OUR boys/ TEEHEE. 3RD PERSON P.O.V.
"This is so boring!" Paul said, whining from his place. "Seriously who takes 20 minutes inside a clothes shop? Not even Leah is enjoying it." The boys who were looking through the glass of clothing store were looking over at their imprints who were happily trying on clothes. Leah sitting absently in the middle of the store on a seat that had conveniently been placed there.
"Hey Leah!" Was a voice that could make Jared melt.
As Leah looked up she shrunk down in her seat, noticing the disgustingly -too- pink dress that made her fake gag. The dress Kim held up was beautiful. A cream one shoulder dress, held up by chiffon flower. Right under the best is white going around. Leah, lied. The gag she did was fake, she loved it already. "Just try it on Clearwater" Kim mumbled, her stomach getting assaulted by butterfly's. The same reaction when Jared is around. She watched Leah walk into the change rooms, then looked around the shop, trying to figure out were this sense was coming from.
"I think Kim is noticing something's up. And anyway, how the hell did she get Leah to even go into a changeroom with a dress?" Paul asked, confused and wonder at Jared.
Shrugging he said a simple "Kim is beautiful" Of course this was a repetitive thing from Jared, always going on about how wonderful Kim is, and of course she was wonderful and beautiful. Always helping others.
Shrugging she walked to the change room door, knocking on it. "Leah? How's it going in there?" The boy's heard Kim say, quiet loudly.
"Okay.."
"Then come out and show us. We wanna see!" Kim said, her voice excited, excited to see Leah in something that wasn't her now signature tank top and jean cut offs, even the boy's were wonderous as to what Leah would look like.
"I'm embarrased and awkward" She muttered, giving the picture to everyone that she was biting her lip inside that change room.
"Boohoo, who is going to laugh? It's just us three out here!" Quin yelled from her place on Andy's lap.
"Fine. But no laughing!" she said, her voice stern. She really was embarrased, she knew the boys' were hanging around outside, she could hear them. But, she knew they were looking out for their imprints and she respected that, but she didn't want to come out knowing they were out there.
"Come on Leah" Cooed Andy "I will come in there"
As Leah opened the curtains that girls said in unison "You look hot!"
Even the boy's were shocked, Paul especially, who soon would have to leave with due to a 'guy problem'.
Paul looked at Leah like she was a goddess. And Leah, seemingly feeling something different turned her direction to where she could feel persistent looking. Looking that came from Paul.
And stupid as this sounds.. Paul imprinted, never looking directly at Leah before. The cocky werewolf was shocked as the both of them imprinted upon each other.
"Holy Shit" Paul said in unison with Embry, Seth and Jared.
"You imprinted on my big sister!" Seth groaned his head hitting Embry's shoulder as he shook his head on Embry's shoulder. "How did you not imprint on Leah before" Seth asked.
Looking down, Paul blushed. "I never looked directly at her" He looked down, ashamed in someway. The same went for Leah, she never looked directly at him before.
"What are you looking at Leah?" Andy asked, starting to turn around.
"Uh nothing, I'm going to take this off. And I will buy it" She said said, turning on her heel into the change room.
The girls' noticing the look on her face, the only one who understood the look was Kim. She looked behind her, seeing Paul, Seth, Jared and Embry there, Jared noticing her looking, turned his head to smile at her.
Kim could feel a little anger toward Jared. As much as she loved that werewolf, and didn't like yelling at him she was angry. And even Jared could see it, frowning he looked at the guys giving them a look that said 'give them some privacy'.
The only one who had a problem with that was Paul, he wanted to stay standing looking at Leah, making sure she was okay. As stupid as that sounded, Leah is a girl who can look after herself. Independent.
If Leah was so independent then why did she feel so dependent on Paul? Why did she feel that in any moment he could crush her heart in a million pieces just like Sam once had. Each time she saw him it was easier to get over him. It was at Emily and Sam's wedding that her heart was finally healed and she could actually smile and mean it as she walked side by side with Claire.
Leah could see her wedding with Paul, already, when 2 days ago she couldn't even imagine it, it was cringe worthy. She had no right to judge him like that. She felt tears coming. She didn't even know why.
"Leah?" Asked Kim, being the closest to the change room doors. "Leah, are you okay? Are you crying?" That got Paul's attention. His head shot up like the speed of light, trying to tune in to that conversation, wondering if he needed to go in there and comfort his goddess, his only reason for existing. Why she think those things? Paul was wondering, she is probably crying her eye's out in there because of the imprint.
Paul didn't know she was really crying because of the judgmental bitchiness side that she hated and tried to tame. Leah thought no one -especially Paul- would hate her because of what she thought of herself. "Judgemental shrew" was what she thought, and not someone amazing who she really was.
"Leah" Kim said once again, opening the change room seeing Leah asat on a bench the change room offered. "What's wrong? What happened, are you okay?"
"I'm fine" Leah said, looking down. "I'm just being stupid" Leah said, using her bare wrist to wipe the tears that were flowing freely.
"Leah, there is obviously somthing wrong. And no honey, you're not being stupid. If it got you to cry in the first place." Kim mumbled, her hand rubbing her back gently.
"I'm just sick of being a judgmental bitch" Leah mumbled from her place in Kim's arm's.
"What the hell Leah. Who the hell told you, you were a judgmental bitch" Quin asked, in her grumpy mood from before. "You're not one, who ever told you that is getting there asses kicked" Making Andy nod in agreement. Leah smiled faintly at the two of them, closer then sisters can be.
"It's me who thinks it" Leah said looking down, the girls crowding around her.
"You're not. None of us think that, probably not even the guys'"
Oh how Leah would love to believe that, she had an insight to the boys' minds. She knew what they thought of everything, even her. Okay, so maybe they didn't actually say that to her. But...
The boys' probably looked weird standing outside a womens clothing store. But Paul who was crumbling down inside didn't care, he didn't care what anyone in this store thought, except Leah. Someone who was taken for granted over and over again, he was even taken for granted by himself. He wish he could of just taken that all back, and actually look at her for what she was. A beautiful person. A person who put the pack and her family and friends before herself, he didn't see that.
He wished he could do it all over again. See her all over again.
"They're coming" Jared muttered. "Let's go Paul, before they bite our heads off" Jared said, having to forcibly remove Paul by pushing him away from the viewing window.
Paul didn't want to leave his imprint in there, who was just not so long ago crying her beautiful eye's out.
"So" Andy grumbled, clearly annoyed at the boys "They were at the window the whole frickin time?"
Nodding, Kim showed just how angry she was at Jared. But Jared being Jared knew he could get out of the trouble just by simply kissing Kim, all anger would just crumble like it never even existed.
"I guess they were just trying to make sure nothing happened to you girls' they care about you, you know?" Leah offered, trying her best to stick up for the pack. She knew how deeply bound those boys' were for those girls. She knew how much they cared for their imprints.
"I guess" They said in unison. "We should just go home"
"No without getting me food. I'm frickin starving"
"Fine" Once again in unison.
"Alright, what are we getting? Subway, Mc Donalds, KFC- Egh no. No KFC. Or we have Pluto Express" Kim said, laying down our choices, but saying a big no to KFC.
"I call getting Subway" Leah mumbled, walking for the food shop, knowing that somewhere around the boys' were watching their every move, which they were. So grabbing the girls' arm's she towed them over to Subway so they could order.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" The guy said, looking down at Leah's chest. The thing that went in Leah's head was 'why do guys just think boobs, legs and ass?'
"Well, for one you could remove your eye's from my chest and actually take my order"
"Sorry" Then the girls' watched as his cheeks tinted to a fine pink that could easily be seen with his pale white skin colour, almost vampire worthy skin -no pun intended to anyone- "So what can I get you?"
"Okay, this is going to come right at 'ya, so get ready. I would like a meatball sub actually make that two, a salad roll, a chicken roll- all six inches by the way. And a berry blast fruit smoothie. What do you girls want?" Leah asked turning around. Quin and Andy giving her a shocked expression. 'How can she eat so much and have such a great figure?' Andy's head thought, like word vomit.
"Um, me and Quin want a meat ball sub and a tropical berry smoothie"
"And, I want a salad roll with a medium coke" Kim said, already understanding how Leah could eat so much, which is hardly anything compared to the guys "OOh" Kim added "And I would also like 5 cookies. 2 chocolate chip, 2 MnM and 1 macadamia."
"Yeah get another 25 of those for Me, Quin and Andy and Kimie, so how much is that?" Leah asked, silently saying a thank you because the girl was no longer staring at her fully developed chest.
"That comes to a total of 29.50"
Nodding, Leah gave him a 50$ note.
"You do know Leah, we could have paid?" Said Kim, the girls' nodding in agreement.
"Yeah I know, but I am really hungry. So hurry it perve" Leah turned around giving the perverted order- taker dude a glare which sent him right to work.
Paul wanted to go over there and snap that perverted little creep's neck off. Or punch him, yeah punching him sure would do the trick for him. Paul started stomping over there, only for Seth the smallest of the pack so far to grab his arm's and haul him back. "Paul, stop. Leah can protect herself." Seth's voice was reassuring, and even a little comforting.
"Aren't you pissed off that he was looking at your sisters chest!" Paul asked, shooting a glare to anyone who decided to turn around and look.
"Sure I am angry. But as I said, Leah can look after herself."
"I still need those Tampons" Quin said from her place that was seated at a 4 way table. "Like really need them"
In some way Leah was glad she didn't have her period, and in someways upset. She wanted to be able to have a baby, to be able to nurture it. Keep it as her own. Spoil it.
"Do you need them right now?" Kim asked, turning to see Quin sitting uncomfortably in her seat.
"Yep. Can someone come with me?" She asked, looking around the group expecting everyone to say no.
"We'll all go" Leah said, eating the last of her food, and shoving her cookies in her bag for the ride home.
The girls nodded, their food gone, the only thing left was their drinks, the cookies in Leah's bag.
"Oh gee" Paul heard himself grumble "They're heading down to the shop to buy tampons" Shiver worthy activity right there for Paul. -Lol, have you read my story about Paul buying Rachel tampons?-
Sipping on their drinks their drinks they walked into the supermarket and headed into the isle that sold feminine products.
"So" Andy asked awkwardly looking in front of her. "Why are there condoms in the feminine isle?"
Shrugging Leah said nothing, not even knowing for herself. "Let's just keep on moving"
Standing in front of the tampon isle andy asked a question. "What does a tampon feel like?"
"Like a tampon?" How the hell do you explain how a tampon feels?
"Uh huh" Andy said, grabbing her pads from the shelf.
Quin going on her tip toes trying to reach the tampons started falling back, only for Leah to catch her before hitting the ground. "You okay?" Leah mumbled, checking to make sure. "Fine, I am to short to get those can you get them for me?"
Leah's hand reached up to where Quin pointed and grabbed the pack of tampons that contained 36 tampons of different shapes and sizes.
"Don't you usually use pads?" Andy asked.
"Yeah, but there is a try out for volley ball tomorrow and I am going to try out for it."
"Oooh, I want to try out!" Andy said, not knowing there was even a tryout for it.
"Thought you might"
"Let's put some music on" Andy suggested to the girls' leaning forward to switch the stereo on. The song Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield came on, Leah ultimate favorite song.
Leah loved this song, and everytime she heard she couldn't help but start singing it. It was like it just came out.
I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned
The girls, especially Kim, was shocked to hear that Leah had such a good voice, even the boys' who were running in timing with the car, were shocked except for Seth. Embry nearly ran into a tree. But Paul he smiled hearing the voice of his angel, his goddess singing. He loved it, he loved her. Already.

Leah sung, finishing the rest of the song, only to receive a sitting ovation from the girls, wishing they were standing up. Outside there was a howl in amazment. Blushing Leah turned around looking out the window only to see a flash of silver. Paul.
Leah was overly fascinated in the colour of Paul's fur. Always has been.
"Where did you learn to sing?" Andy smiled, happy there was another person who was able to sing.
"I'm not that good"
"Pfft, right. Your awesome, you sung better then her and she is a professional and you're not. No offence. You excellent!" the girls let a squeal of excitement in agreement.
"Don't bag yourself out Lee!" Kim said, going into Leah's gorgeous silver handbag and bringing out the cookies, and popping one into her mouth.
Very, very long chapter. Over 5000 words! Woo!
Tell me what you thought. I was planning for this to be done Yesterday, but it was to big. So it's here today!
