Breath Chapter 8: Open Wounds, a twilight fanfic

**Chapter 8 - Open Wounds**

Leah POV

I haven't seen Bella in a few days and I felt like a part of me was missing. I was currently running patrol with Uley since no one else could stand me.

They love you Lee-Lee.

I heard the alpha say in my head.

Whatever you say Uley.

I snidely replied.

He stopped running and looked at me.

Well, I love you…

I stopped and froze where I stood.

Uley… I started.

Sam. The alpha cut me off

Fine.. Uley listen..

I heard his sigh.

You say you love me but you're missing something important here… I trailed off

And what would that be? He asked somewhere between amused and annoyed

Oh this is gonna be good.

Sammy? I said innocently

Yes Lee-Lee?

Emily…

After I said her name my mind was filled with memories of him and Emily.

The day he imprinted. Every touch, kiss, and look. When he lost control and clawed her face.

Everything spun in my head until it all went black

Why did you say her name? he growled defensively.

Because Uley, you don't love me and honestly I don't love you.

He whined.

Since when?

I couldn't help it. I thought of the day I phased near Bella

Bella and I walking along the beach laughing, holding hands, splashing each other with water, standing at an alter, both in white dresses, sitting on a porch watching our 2 boys playing in the yard…

My wolf whimpered pitifully.

Its ok Lee-Lee I'll help you fight it

Hold the hell up Uley, you cant fight yours but you expect me to fight mine, and this seems fair to you because….?

Because we belong together

I sat there for a moment, silent.

Lee-Lee?

I couldn't help it, I laughed.

What's so funny?

You, Uley honestly, I don't want you. Go home to Emily I'll finish up patrol.

I felt the shimmer that meant he phased out. I continued to run patrol until I felt another shimmer

Lee?

Yes, Sethy?

You can head home now I got it from here.

Will do, thanks kid.

I phased in the woods behind my house and walking up the steps I saw a pink and black bike zoom past, shrugging my shoulders I walked into my house and saw the elders

"What's going on?" I asked

Billy looked at me with a grim look on his face

"Its Bella"

My instincts immediately went into overdrive.

"What happened? Is she ok? Where is she? What the fuck is going on?!" I asked all in one breath

Billy held up his hand and I stopped talking

"it seems she's speaking to the Cullens again"

No.

This cant be happening. The same people who hurt her?

"I have to see her" I demanded.

"Leah that isn't a good idea, Bella isn't exactly... Bella anymore"

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?" I snapped

"She seems to have made extreme changes to herself"

I started pacing, then it hit me like a ton of bricks.

The bike.

"That was her wasn't it? The one on the bike?"

Billy nodded his head.

"How the hell did she get a bike?"

"She said it was a gift from the Cullens"

I stared at him incredulously.

My wolf whimpered at the thought of both Bella being on a bike and talking to the Cullens.

I ran up to my room ignoring everyone, slammed and locked my door. I dug through my nightstand until I found the mix tape Bella made me, I put it in my CD player and pressed play and waited for the first song to play.

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side
You know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No, I won't give in

Keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through
Just stay strong
Cause you know I'm here for you
I'm here for you
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So, keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late
This could all disappear
Before the door's closed
And it comes to an end
With you by my side
I'll fight and defend, yeah, yeah

Hear me when I say
When I say I believe.
Nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be
Will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
La da da da, la da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Ahh, ahh
Keep holding on
Ahh, ahh
Keep holding on
There's nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So, keep holding on
Cause you know we'll make it through
We'll make it through

When the song ended I jumped out my window, landing on my paws and ran towards Bella`s house.

I had to talk to her, make her understand the danger she's in, luckily no one was phased and I made it there without trouble.

I stood in the woods behind her house when I remembered I shredded my clothes when i phased.

I plopped down and waited.

Not ten minutes later, Bella pulled up on the bike, got off it and went inside. I waited until I heard her in her room listening to music I didn't recognize.

What had I done? What did Sam say to her? This girl didn't look like Bella, with black and pink hair.

I phased back to human and looked for a rock, finding one the right size I picked it up and threw it.

It hit the glass of her window with a loud clank.

Bella looked out her window and saw me, she stared for a moment before disappearing, my heart sank and I turned to leave when I heard the back door open and Bella stepped outside.

She handed me sweatpants and a baggy shirt.

I quickly threw the clothes on and stared at my feet.

"What are you doing here Leah?"

My head snapped up at the tone of her voice.

"Bella, I had to see you i-"

"You had to see me? Seriously? I'm not in the mood for you bullshit Leah" she cut me off.

"Bella…what happened to you?"

She laughed dark and humorlessly.

"Me? You're asking me that? Says the person who abandoned me to be with her ex, you know what just don't come by here ever again"

She walked away, leaving me there brokenhearted.

I used my pain to phase and ran back, once I got home I jumped up the side of my house and landed in my room, quickly putting clothes on I pressed play on my CD player and let the darkness take over me.
