The TA Chapter 5

AN – Hey, sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I hope everyone's 2009 is going well. A lot of you were surprised about Marcus winning the Happiest Person of the Year. Maybe there will be a recount...Anyway, on with the awards!

"Right, settle down" Stephenie calmed the audience down, and they stared waiting at the stage. "Okay, the next award will be the 'Why Does It Always Rain on Me' Award!" Many people looked confused, when did this award come in? "This is a new award. Now for the exciting bit, the nominees!" Alice's face went blank, then she gasped and grinned. Her hand reached over and tugged at Jasper's jacket.

"Jasper! You've got to come with me now!" He reluctantly got up and they rushed out of the hall, a few looks given to their backs as they exited. Stephenie coughed to try and get the attention back, and the nominee's were called.

"Bella Cullen!" There was a small clap and Bella looked down, embarrassed. "Jacob Black!" Jake looked pumped to have the prospect of getting an award, even if it was a new seemingly made up one.

"And Leah Clearwater!" Jacob and Leah gave each other glare's across the table, then once again at the werewolf table, there was arguing.

"Give it up Jacob, you'll never win this award" she hissed across the table.

"What makes you think you have a chance?" Jake raised his eyebrows. A few seats away from him, Collin, Brady, Jared, Quil and Embry were having a bet on who would win, Paul was discreetly writing people's thoughts on a napkin. Jacob saw this movement in his peripheral vision, but didn't know what they were whispering about. Leah distracted him.

"My life is far worse than yours! Are you a genetic dead end?" She sniffed, head raised high.

"The girl I loved became my enemy! She was taken away by my enemy! I was rejected, at least you had some happy memories with Sam!" Sam cringed and turned his head away from the argument, Emily too tried to look less involved.

"Do you have to see the person who took your love away everyday?" Leah was bitingly hostile now, her nose wrinkled and she was half crouched, ready to spring up in indignation with the next comment Jake said.

"I had to see her get pregnant with his killer spawn!" Jacob winced at the memory, as well as the rest of the pack. A few turned towards Bella and she looked away, just like Sam and Emily embarrassed to be in the argument.

"Yeah but you got Renesmee. What did I get? Nothing, that's what" she huffed and released her crouched position, sitting back in her chair with an audible thump. Jacob sat back down, and they stared daggers at each other.

"And the winner is...Jacob Black!" Applause ran out through the hall, and Leah gasped. They watched as Jake grinned and went up and collected his award. He leaned into the microphone to give his speech.

"Hey, I just want to thank everyone who voted for me in this award, uh, thanks to Stepehenie Meyer, for making my life crappy enough to get this award, and a great thanks to the minority of Team Jacob fans, you know you rule really!" He grinned and a few fan girls squealed in the back. "Yeah so thanks everybody. The 'why does it rain on me' award will be going on my shelf, and to think, I don't even live in Forks!" This earned a few laughs and Jake started to walk off the stage, before remembering something and running back up. "Oh and Leah? I win" he grinned cockily and Leah growled back at the table. When Jake finally got back there was some sort of deal going on between the boys.

"Ha! Pay up Paul!" Seth said at Paul, sticking his open hand out with a smug expression.

"Not betting on your sister? That's harsh" he reluctantly gave up the money into Seth's waiting hand.

"You didn't bet on me!" Leah cried, shocked.

"Why did you have to win Jake!" Embry cried, giving money to Seth and Jared.

"But Leah has such a crappy life, I just assumed..." Quil muttered, emptying his wallet.

"Quil! Embry! You're my best friends and you didn't bet on me!" Jacob shouted, outraged.

"See how it feels" Leah gave him a grim smile and he snorted.

"Someone's PMSing" Jake snorted, and the whole table turned and looked at him wide eyed. Seth may have muttered 'oh no', Jacob couldn't tell. He was too busy watching Leah's murderously angry expression.

"No. No, I am not PMSing. I am never PMsing. Because I am a genetic dead end" she was on her feet now, just about ready to crawl over the table to get to Jacob. He started to mutter something about going to the bathroom, and Leah was soon quickly following him. He increased his speed. So did Leah. Soon he was crying out, running at full speed towards the exit.

"Yeah, you better run Jacob Black!" Leah shouted before the doors slammed shut. The hall was silent for a moment. Suddenly, Quil reached over and gave the award into Bella's shocked hands.

"Here you go Bella. None of them may be alive to claim it after what Jake just said" she grasped the cold award, though warm to her, and put it on the table.

"Don't worry Bella, I can change the name from Jacob's to yours. I've got experience with bending and changing metal" Rosalie smiled sweetly. Bella remembered Jacob's dog bowl and shivered, smiling warily back at Rosalie's sweet expression. It might take a while to forget this she thought, as the next awards were called out.

AN – I finally finished this! I started this on Monday, and I never got a chance to finish it. I'm putting off revising a science test that I have to do tomorrow. Which is worth a quarter of my grade *gulps*. Two words. Tests suck.
