As soon as Leah made in to the girls bathroom, she pulled out her phone and punched in Jasper's number. She tapped her foot impatiently as she waited it for him to pick up. He had to be there for fucks sake! She had not left him an hour earlier. She knew he had his phone with him at all times. Why the hell didn't he answer when it was probably the most important call he would receive today.

"Come on scar face and pick up the damned phone!" While the phone rang for the countless time, she checked her eye out in the mirror. It was already turning a weird purple and black color. Her eye had started to swell shut to. Great that wasn't something she needed.

When it went to his voice mail she was sure to put on her best bitchy and important tone of voice. She needed to get the point across about how he and everyone in his crew was in serious danger. "I hope to god you check your voice mail Hale. I need you to get out. Take your sister and your crew, and run as far as you can as fast as you can. Sam is coming after you and I need you to get out. Call me if you get this message and I can tell you more then."

"Well this is a bit of a shocker. When did you turn in to a snitch Lee?" Jacob Black was leaning against the doorway to the bathroom when Leah whirled around to face him. He had on his 'I caught you with your hand in the cookie jar' expression.

The female racer turned on the water and splashed some on her face. She couldn't let on that she was scared shitless of the fact he may have heard her whole message she left for Hale. She had to act like it was nothing. "Jake, it isn't what you think-"

Her cousin cut her off quickly. He did not want to give her a chance to make up some sort of story. He was not stupid by any means. "Oh I know it is exactly what I think. When exactly did you fall in love with Jasper Hale?"

"I'm not in love with scar face." She rolled her eyes, but then her baby cousin met her eyes and she knew that he wasn't going to buy it. He knew and she wanted to know how. Her expression turned deadly and dangerous as a cobra about to strike. "Did Embry open his fucking mouth?"

"You have a pet name for your lover? How fucking adorable. It wasn't Embry Lee." Jacob used his crutches to hobble over to her. He leaned most of his wieght against the sink. "I know you better than anyone else. You're my family and when you stood up to Sam, I just knew it. I knew that something was going on between you and the scarred wonder."

She rounded on him in an instant. "Don't call him that! He never asked to be covered in scars. He never asked to be judged because of one mistake. He never-"

The Native American males laughter cut her off mid rant. "Oh now I know for sure something is going on. You never defend someone like you just did him." His expression changed from amusement to concern and curiosity. "What the hell has happened since I've been laid up? How did you fall for the enemy?"

As quickly as her anger appeared it had vanished. She was in Jacob's strong embrace. "I don't know what happened. It all got so messed up! We were only supposed to be fuck buddies. It was never supposed to be anything more than that. It started the night of my first race. At the after party. We talked and we just clicked. There was something there and then we met again at the hospital and it was still there."

The only son of Billy Black stroked her hair softly in a gesture meant to comfort. "What was there Lee?"

"That stupid attraction! The spark that ignites when you meet someone and they just seem to know the right thing to say and the right way to act. Everything that they do is ten times more..everything!" Leah could feel her breathing accelerate and tried to remember her breathing exercises. "I tried to ignore it. I thought hey he is hot and funny, but it is just lust right? Wrong! It's so much more complicated Jake. I thought for sure that it was only a good time and now I am not so sure."

The 'Wolf Pack' leading mechanic listened to the frantic edge in his cousins voice. "You're the reason he attacked Sam isn't it? I am betting that Hale knows something you won't tell me and that is why he took it so far. Am I right?"

The Native American beauty with brown eyes shrugged and pulled away from the embrace. "I can't control his actions. He may not be happy about some things I told him, but I didn't make him go after Sam. I just don't want anyone else to get hurt. That is why I cannot let this war happen."

"It's ironic that you are not the only one who is with the enemy." Jacob's dark eyes sparkled with the hints of a secret. "I'm seeing somebody I probably shouldn't be seeing. Well technically we aren't seeing each other. She comes to visit me, we make out, and then she leaves. God, it is so fucking freaky to know that we like siblings. How creepy is that?"

"You and the blond barbie? No way!" If possible her eyes widened to the side of flying saucers. Jacob and the wannabe prom queen? Really? When the hell had that happened? How had it happened? "Guess she took the whole nurse duty to a new level am I right?"

Jacob shook his head with a nod. "But I don't mind. She really is a nice chick. Not as bitchy as I first imagined. I thought she would be, I donno, like some sort of ice queen. I never thought she would have a personality. I thought she would be a cold calculating whore. I won't like about this Lee. Sam had me blinded to one way of seeing things. Then she started visiting me and no matter how rude I was, she just kept coming. It's like we click. Apparently the same way you and her brother seem to click."

"Hale can be and arrogant ass and yet he has a really good caring side to his personality. He is not a monster. Not in the way we were told to see it. That is why I won't be in this fight." The female mechanic sighed and checked her phone. No messages blinked back at her.

"We don't have a choice Leah. Sam is in control and you know he will make our lives hell." Jake ran his hands through his short hair. They had to chop off his long locks after the accident. "We could make a stand against him, but even if we succeeded, he has so much pull in La Push. My dad is in a wheelchair and I can't afford to loose my job right now. I say we need to warn them the best we can and hope they take our advice."

Leah nodded knowing he was right. "I just do not see Jasper as backing down. Especially if he thinks that Sam will-" She cut off her sentence because she did not want to talk about what Sam did to her. Well not yet anyways.

"Then we have to go to war. What choice do we have? You get a hold of Hale and I will get a hold of my Rose." He started to push himself back towards the door. "If it comes down to it though, I will protect her. I won't blow your secret though Leah. I got your back and if need come for it, I will have Hale's back as well."

When Jacob disappeared Leah looked down at her phone yet again. She noticed she had a text. Hey darlin, just got your text. What is up? Where are you beautiful?

Jasper had taken a short shower after Leah and by the time he got out, his phone was going off like crazy. He clicked it on to get her disturbing voice message. Immediately started getting his shit together and grabbing his keys. When she told him she was still at the hospital he asked her to meet him at their spot. He was sure she would know he meant the first place they ever slept together.

When he climbed in the Roushe he popped her in to drive and then he was peeling down the road. So Sam wanted a war did he? He thought that he could take on the 'Soldiers' and win? If he thought that Jasper would run like a coward, he was dead fucking wrong. The scarred racer did not back down from anyone or anything. Especially Sam Uley and his threats.

He got there before Leah and when she pulled up in her Camaro, he was out of his car and in front of her within seconds. His hands went to her face and his expression darkened. "He touched you? Damn he did some damage."

When he touched the sensitive skin around her eye, she flinched and pulled away. "It's nothing you need to worry about right now. You need to get your shit together and you need to get out. Take your sister and just leave."

'Soldiers for the South" leader scoffed and touched her cheek again. He ran his thumb along the flesh under her eye. "You think I am going to turn tail and run? You know me well enough that you know that isn't going to happen. If he wants a war then I am going to give him one. He has taken this to far and it's got to end."

"At what price?" She countered with a raised eyebrow and took his hand off of her face. It was still really sore. "Those are my friends and my family. Your friends and family as well. Somebody is going to be hurt. Maybe even killed Jasper. You can't just run in half cocked."

Jasper sent her a charming smile. "Are you worried about my safety? I'm touched princess, I really am. Still, I am not backing down. He wants a war and he will get it. We are not called the 'Soldiers' for nothing. We have a reputation for a reason. You think this is the first time that we've had to handle someone like Sam? You don't need to worry about me darlin, I just do not want you anywhere near the battle."

The Quillette female sent him a grin of her own. "And let you have all the fun? I do not think so cowboy. I will be there and I am going to make sure you don't do something stupid. It takes place tomorrow. I think Sam plans to hit your place and you should be prepared for anything. I am not sure what he will do exactly."

"Then it's settle then?" Jasper asked kissing her cheek. "Tomorrow night I will deliver a message to Uley. I need you to be careful darlin. Do not do anything stupid. I might just lock you up again if you don't promise not to do something rash."

"If I asked you not to do this, it wouldn't stop you would it?" At his expression she sighed and grabbed his arm pulling to the trunk of her Camaro. "I figured as much. That is why I want to give you this."

Popping out the hood she pulled out a pipe wrench. "Sam likes to use a baseball bat and I figured that this would be better. He is already hurting so just go for his knees. And for me, don't go after Jake or Embry alright?"

Taking the pipe wrench he let the wieght fill his hands. Looking down he noticed the letters H.C. carved in to the metal and it hit him at once. This had been her fathers. She had given something which ment the world to her. He clutched it close to his heart. "What about you? You need a weapon. I am not going to let you go in unarmed."

With a wicked smile she pulled out her crow bar. "Oh I got mine. Trust me, I know how to use it. Be careful will you? I had planned to knock you out with peroxide and take you to a safe house, but then I figured you would just find some way out of it and end up at the fight anyways."

"You'd be right." He muttered and kissed her. His hands grabbing her ass and crushing her to him until she pulled away. She had to go home and make sure Seth was in bed. He had school tomorrow. As she walked away he whistled and called out to her. "Hey Leah? I think I am falling in love with you. A woman who loves a good fight is my soul mate. You be careful k?"

Before she could even turn around fully, he was gone. Damn him and the habit he had of catching her off guard. Since she couldn't say it to his face she just whispered to the wind. "Yeah scar face I think I could love you to. Why else am I fighting so fucking hard to protect you?"

TBC...

AN: This chapter could've gone a lot of ways. Most people expected it to be serious, but I wanted to put a lighter tone on it because there is alot that happens in the next chapter and I figured that would have enough drama. Leah and Jasper know they can't change the others mind anyways. I hope you all liked this chapter.

Please R&R like always!

Preview for the next chapter:

"So are we really gonna do this?"

"You've had it coming for a long time Hale."

"Then settle it just you and me. Don't involve anyone else in this. Let them walk out of here and I promise to face you man to man."

"Where is the fun in that?"

"I'm just trying to save you from looking like an ass when I kick your ass all over this place."

AND

"Freeze! Police!"

"SCATTER!"

"Leah?"

"Get out of here Hale! Just go..I'll be alright."

"If you're going down then you won't go down alone."

"Rose!" "Run!"

"Just go!"
