"Um hi..?" I answered her shaking her hand with a questioning look on my face, not knowing why she would come outside and talk to me since she looked like she hated me when we where inside.
"I know everyone has probably told you that I am some kind of insensitive bitch, and I just wanted to let you know that I don't hate you. And I think me and you could be friends." She told me sounding very sincere.
I smiled and nodded, "Yeah I hope we can be friends too." She smiled and got up to go back inside. When I didn't follow her inside she turned back around and asked me if I was coming. "Nahh, I kind of need to think about some things on my own." I told her with a half smile. She nodded and walked into the house.
When she was gone I put my head in my hands, and started to think about this Paul guy. Why did I care about what he thought of me, why did it bother me so much that he wouldn't even give me the time of day, or that whenever I was around Embry he would give us the meanest looks? I didn't notice how long I was outside until I felt someone sit down beside me. "Hey Leann, are you okay?" Someone asked me, I looked up to find Jacob looking down at me. I gave him a half smile and shook my head. "Well you can tell me." He told me genuinely.
"Its okay, its not really something someone can help me with. Its more of an 'I have to do this myself' kind of thing. Ya know?" I looked over at him to see if he understood what I was saying.
He smiled, and nodded. "I know exactly what you mean." He told me with a laugh. "Well do you want a tour of the oh so amazing La Push?" He asked me with a smirk trying to lighten the mood. I nodded and stood up. "Well we can take my car, since you are kind of walking challenged right now." He nodded towards my cast smiling.
I rolled my eyes but followed him out to his car. "Well La Push isn't a big town, as you can see." He told me. I nodded and he continued. "We have a grocery store, a library, the high school, which is all grades one through twelve but separated into three buildings, and the Council building. That's mainly it."
"Wow this place is smaller than where I am from." I told him with a laugh.
"Well we don't have tumbleweeds rolling across the roads or race tractors and stuff." He joked with a smirk. I reached over and playfully hit his shoulder. He acted like he was hurt and about to start crying. I couldn't help but laugh at his pathetic pouty face.
"You do know you're a horrible actor?" I asked him. He rolled his eyes and pushed me back. When I was with Jake, I forgot about everything that was going on. I didn't care about Paul, the reason I left, or anything. We continued to drive around and got out to walk along the beach. We talked about what I did back home, what he did with his friends, he told me about a girl named Bella that he was in-love with and she loved him back but she chose another guy over him, I told him about the party that scarred me for the rest of my life and about why I left. We talked about little things too. I didn't realize how long we had been walking until I looked up into the sky and saw the sun setting.
"Well we should probably get going, its going to get dark soon and I'm hungry." Jake admitted standing up and leading me to his car across the beach.
We drove back to Sam and Emily's house still talking about everything. When we walked inside Embry ran up to me. "Leann where were you. I walked outside and you were gone. We were all so scared." He demanded sounding like an overprotective mother. I couldn't help but giggle. "Do you find this funny?" He asked. And I couldn't help but full out laugh along with everyone else.
"Embry you sound like some overprotective parent. I was fine, Jake was giving me a tour of the 'oh so amazing La Push'" I told him with a laugh looking over at Jake, who winked at me. Embry rolled his eyes and mumbled a "typical Jake". Embry walked over to the couch and patted the seat next to him for me to sit in. I walked over and sat down not looking to see who I was sitting next to me. When I sat down I looked up to be met with the most beautiful brown eyes. I knew those eyes, they were Paul's. He looked down at me and stared at me for a while before getting up and leaving to go outside. I looked at Embry with a questioning look, and he just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
We watched the game for a while before I fell asleep on Embry's shoulder. I was woken up to people arguing. "Paul get away from her." I heard somebody whisper yell.
"Just let me take her, I won't hurt her. I will carry her out to your truck and that's all. I promise." I heard Paul say back.
"Paul, you can't act like you hate her. And then when she is sleeping act like you care. You are giving her so many mixed signals, she doesn't need to be going through all this right now. Just leave her alone." I heard Embry defend me. I internally smiled.
"Yeah Paul after you left her on the porch earlier today she was a complete mess. I'm sure it had to do with everything she has been through lately but still you weren't making it any easier on her. Listen to Embry and leave her alone." I heard Jacob back up Embry. That's when I decided I should officially wake up.
I slowly opened my eyes to see three sets of brown ones looking right back at me. I knew all three of them Jake, Embry, and last but not least Paul. "Oh hey Leann, I was just about to wake you up and tell you I was about to leave." Embry told me softly with a smile. I smiled back at him and slowly got up from the couch, careful not to get up to fast and get dizzy. That had been happening to me a lot lately. I walked over to the door by Embry and waved goodbye to everyone. They all waved back and said they would see us soon.
The drive home with Embry was quiet, until he asked me "So what do you think about Paul and Jake?" I was totally caught off guard by that question.
"Well Paul, seems like a total dick. And Jake is really nice, funny, and a horrible actor." I told him with a laugh, he laughed too and told me about one time when Jake tried out for a school play and the drama teacher almost wrote him up because he was so bad she thought he did it as a joke. I couldn't help but laugh at that, now I had something on Jake so the next time he brings up another Texas joke I can retaliate.
"And Paul, he has a bit of a temper problem. But once you get to know him, he can actually be a nice guy. Unless you steal his food." Embry informed me, I was about to ask him if Paul can be a nice guy then why did he tell him to stay away from me, but stopped myself because that was said when I was "sleeping." But I nodded my head, not really believing the nice guy part but everything else totally made sense.
When we got home Embry's mom was sleeping and I told Embry I was going to take a bath and go to bed. He gave me a big bear hug and told me goodnight. I smiled, this place was already starting to feel like home. When I finished my bath I got into bed and let sleep overtake me.
I was walking around the woods when I head some bushes rustle. I turned and looked that way, but I didn't see anything so I kept on walking. I was trying to look for something I just didn't know what. As I walked farther into the woods, I heard some more rustling and a fallen branch snap in half. This time I knew there was something there. So I walked closer to the sound and peered into the bushes. I didn't see anything so I slowly backed away hoping nothing would jump out and attack me. I walked further into the woods and into a nice little meadow. I heard some branches move and saw someone walk out and into the middle. I knew that person, they walked closer to me until they were standing right in front of me. They reached down and cupped my cheek in their hand. And slowly brought their lips down to mine. I lifted myself on to my tip toes so we would meet quicker. We were less then inches apart.
I felt my bed being bounced and another body on it. I looked over to see who woke me up from the most amazing dream I have ever had. It was none other than Jacob Black, the boy of my dream.
