Last Chance?
I followed Rosalie into her bedroom, it suited her perfectly. The walls were painted deep red, and there was a grand four-poster bed in the middle of the room. There were big mirrors all around the room and there was a big dressing table. She walked into a huge closet and came out with an armful of clothes.
"Take your shirt off," she instructed me.
I took it off shyly; I mean it's hard not to be shy about your body when stood in front of the most beautiful woman in the world.
She stared at me, with a look half shocked and half disgusted, after a few minutes she managed to compose herself and looked up at my face.
"What the hell happened to you Leah?" she asked
"What do you mean?" I asked defensively, wrapping my arms around myself.
"Your ribs!" she exclaimed poking them softly, "Your practically non existent chest and hips! Have you become anorexic or something?" she asked sounding really concerned. I sighed and grabbed the clothes from her hands, quickly throwing them on, not wanting to look in the mirror. She stared at me sadly and I sat down on her bed,
"No" I muttered "I'm not anorexic, I just don't really think about eating anymore, and I run so much as a wolf so over the years I've lost loads of weight."
She sighed and sat down next to me.
"We can help you Leah. All of us, we can help you to have a happy life, we could do with someone new around after the 18 years we've spent missing Alice." She said quietly.
I looked up at her; the ice queen actually had a nice side. "What do you mean? What happened to Alice?" I asked curiously.
"She had a vision, of a man, he wasn't a vampire in the vision but he was her true soul mate, so she left to find him."
I looked up, the shock evident on my face
"But her and Jasper, they were perfect together!" I said
"Alice had started to think of him more as a brother than a sister in the months leading up to her vision, and Jasper felt the same." She explained.
I sighed and stared down at the floor.
"God" I spat "Life is so fucked up." She nodded in agreement.
"Me and you, we're so alike" she said quietly. I looked up at her
"How are we? You have the love of your life, I have no one." I said, feeling angry that she was comparing her perfect life to my shitty one.
She laughed bitterly before saying "Yeah maybe, but we both can't have children. We both feel like we've been cursed with the life we have and we both wish we could be normal, we would give up anything to be normal."
I looked at her, tears in my eyes at the honest truth of her words. I reached my hand out so it was on top of hers and gave it a quick squeeze. Rosalie squeezed it back before getting up and saying "Right, lets go find some clothes for you that fit before making you eat a big meal." I laughed and followed her.
After we managed to find some of Bella's clothes that looked alright on me she took me down to the kitchen where Esme was cooking a big bowl of spaghetti bolognaise. The whole family was sat around the big kitchen counter; all of their eyes were on me. I sighed and sat down, trying to ignore their stares.
"So" Jacob said causally, "What have you been up to?" I groaned and answered him "Well I've travelled all around the country but haven't been able to enjoy it, then I settled down in random towns, got shit jobs and lived a life that wasn't worth living. You?"
He flinched at the harshness in my words and said "Jeez im sorry Leah, I know things must be hard for you."
"It's alright" I sighed, "It's just that I have had no-one at all to talk to, you don't know how lonely that gets. I mean, I know I'm a pain in the ass but am I really that bad that all people stay away from me?"
He opened his mouth to reply but Esme interrupted him, placing the big bowl of spaghetti on front of me and saying
"No Leah, you aren't a pain in the err butt, and I think I know a good solution to your loneliness, why don't you come and live with us for a bit?"
I was quite surprised that they wanted me to stay with them and thought about saying no, until I looked up and met Jacob's eyes, then Emmett's and Jasper's. They all looked really excited about it, god knows why.
"Um" I said, shoving a load of spaghetti into my mouth "Okay, yeah I will, thank you so much"
Esme smiled a warm smile at me "No problem Leah, consider yourself part of the family." Then turned away to wash up.
I stared down at my food with wide eyes, part of the family? God. Why would anyone want me in there family?
"YES!" Emmett yelled. I looked up at him in shock, to see the others rolling their eyes. "SOMEONE NEW TO FIGHT!" he grinned.
I laughed and said
"Only if you're alright with a girl kicking your ass."
He snorted in disbelief and I muttered, "Just you wait" before carrying on eating my spaghetti.
When I had eaten the whole family went into the living room and Bella put a film on. I didn't concentrate on it though, I just thought about each member of the family.
I had never really liked Bella. She seemed like a silly girl in love, and she was much too desperate for Edward's 'approval' on everything she did. Maybe she had changed now she was a vampire; maybe she had got a backbone. I hated what she did to Jacob though, the way she led him on, gave him false hope. I knew it would take me a while to like her. Edward glared at me and I just rolled my eyes.
At first I had thought Edward was a knob, He had been way too overprotective and a bit of a control freak, but then I realised how much he really loved Bella, and that it was just his strange way if showing it and I had decided he was O.K
Emmett, was freaking hilarious, the way he thought he was the strongest person on earth. His jokes had always made me smile secretly, and I knew I would get along with him.
I had always thought of Rosalie as queen bitch, ice cold. Now I knew she wasn't, it was just an act she put on to cover up the way she truly felt. I knew we would get along, but in front of the family we would act like we didn't really like each other.
Jasper was odd. He had always been so quiet, not as involved in the family as all the others were. I hadn't really got to know him as he had been with Alice trying to find the other half-bred vampire, but he had been nice in the clearing and now he had seen my weak side. I frowned and looked at Renesmee.
At first, I didn't like Renesmee, I thought she was annoying child that kept me around leeches, but she seems to have brought Jacob so much happiness that I can't really hate her anymore.
I smiled as I stared at Jacob, my best friend. He would always be my best friend, even if we didn't speak for centuries. Jacob and me had bonded, and a true bond can't be broken. I loved Jacob; he was one of the only people I loved.
Lastly there was Esme and Carlisle, Esme just accepted me into her family, and she didn't even know me. She must be really nice to do that, I know she's full of love but I don't think she'll ever properly love me, I'm hard to get along with. Carlisle was like the leader, he was always calm which irritated me but I suppose he was all right.
I sighed and they all turned to look at me, I just frowned and turned away from their stares, I would never properly fit in here, but I was going to try. After all, that was what I had wished for, one last chance at life.
I know! Rosalie's nice! But i always thought her and Leah should get on :) please review.
