I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT!

|Chapter 4|

Leah's POV

"I'll ask again what is he doing here? And why isn't he wearing a shirt?" Sam growled. Wait he growled, why?

Paul woke up startled and fell off the couch.

"Why are you guys yelling?" Paul screamed while he put his hand on his head. But he hadn't noticed Sam until he spoke again.

"Paul why are you here?" Why is Sam acting like I just cheated on him?

"Paul don't answer that! Sam, what does it matter to you if Paul is here?" I yelled. Why couldn't I just spend one day without any fuss!

"Because!" What kind of an answer is that?

"Because what?" I felt Paul take my hand, and I understood that he wanted me to calm down.

"Because I..I"

"Spit it out Sam!" I felt Paul let go off my hand and then he went outside with Seth. He was acting like he knew something that I didn't. Argh, I'm really getting tired of this!

"Well? I'm waiting." I said staring at him. He seemed a bit uncomfortable. Good..

"I care because I still.."

"Still what? Is it really that hard to talk to me?" I mocked him.

"I still love you okay!"

"You still..whaat?" I fumbled. I was shocked.

"I love Emily Leah, don't get me wrong. I can't live without her. But the imprinting came as a shock to me. I was still together with you and I loved you so much, I still love you. I just need you to know that I never meant to hurt you and neither did Emily, but we couldn't help but to fall for each other. You know how it all works. And seeing you with Paul just made me jealous. " Sam looked down at his feet and I somehow felt guilty for being so rude to him and Emily.

Oh I can't believe I'm doing this.

"I forgive you, both of you" He raised his head and smiled at me.

"Thank you Lee"

"Whatever, but just to ease your mind, Paul was here because we made up and nothing else" I smiled.

"That's great to hear Lee-Lee" But then it hit me, why was Sam here in the first place?

"Sam not to be rude or anything but why are you here?" He sat down on the couched and motioned for me to sit.

"Lee I don't want you to join the Volturi."

"Not this again!" I growled.

"Everything will be fine Sam, like I've said to the rest, we can still have contact with each other."

"I don't care Lee, you are not going" Sam clenched his fists.

"Why can't you guys be like Mum and Seth, they understand why I'm going. I know Seth was all mad before but look at him now, he's totally fine with it. And mum I know she's sad but she understands me." He started to laugh. Did I say something funny?

"They understand? Are you kidding me Leah? Your mum has called me & Emily several times crying and every time she tells us how she doesn't understand why you have to leave with them and that she is worried about you making the wrong choice. And Seth, I've heard his thoughts Leah. He is just pretending to be happy so that you feel like he's on your side, but the truth really is that he is furious with Jake and his leech and he is upset with you for leaving him." I put my guard down and started to cry in front of him. When did I become so fragile?

"I never meant to hurt them. I love them, they mean the world to me." Sam hugged me tightly.

"Then the only thing you can do Lee, is to stay"

"But the Volturi, they will start a fight"

"Then we will fight them together Leah" Maybe I should stay. Mum was right I was making the wrong choice here.

"Okay"

"Okay what?"

"I'll stay" Sam smiled and all of a sudden my Mum, Seth, Paul, Embry, Jared, Quil, and Emily burst through the door.

"THANK GOD!" My mum yelled as she ran up and kissed and hugged me.

"Yeah!" The boys shouted. They all hugged me and for the first time I felt as if I belonged here.

"We are really sorry for everything" Embry said as he hugged me again.

"Yeah we really are Leah" Emily smiled. I walked up to her and gave her a hug to show her that I had forgiven her. They all stayed over and we talked for hours before they left, except Mum & Seth of course.

"Thanks sis"

"For what Seth?" I asked confused.

"For not leaving me"

"Oh. I'm so sorry Seth. You should have talked to me you know."

"I know and I forgive you" He smiled and gave me a kiss on the cheek before he went to bed.

"I love you Leah, good night darling" My mother said and kissed me just like Seth had done and then she went to her bedroom.

"Good Night Mum"

I glanced at the watch, it said 22.10. Hmm, maybe I should go for a run just to clear my thoughts. I switched into my training clothes and then head out. I ran my usual path that went through the forest. While I was running my nose caught a disgusting smell so I stopped.

Leech.

"I really think you should stop calling us that" I really should stop taking runs like this since the same thing always happens again and again and again.

"Oh and I thought that you liked our conversations. But then again yesterday wasn't a conversation." What? Wait, he was the one that kept throwing me on to the ground!

"Yeah that was me, you see I was bored so I decided to play with our soon to be member, which is you." He laughed.

"Sorry to ruin all the fun but I'm not joining you" He froze; I could tell that he was angry now.

"But we had a deal!"

"Well not anymore" I smirked. He ran forward and pinned me down to the ground but I controlled myself from phasing.

"You think this is a game Leah? You have no clue what you have just started" His voice was harsh and he was holding me so hard that it hurt. But that wasn't going to stop me.

"Actually I do have a clue, and trust me when I say you will be thankful if I don't hurt you right now" He let me go and started to turn around but stopped.

"This is just the beginning Leah, I'll see you soon." As he started to walk away I heard another sound coming from the bushes and I guess the vampire also heard it since he sped away. I turned my direction to the bushes again and out came Jacob.

"Leah what are you doing on the ground?" He looked confused and a bit amused at the same time.

"Well, I was taking my night run when I ran into a vampire" His smirk faded and he clenched his jaw. "What? Where is he? Did he hurt you?"

"No, I'm okay and he left after we talked" I answered while I got up.

"What did he want?" Jake was calm now.

"He is the same vampire that I made the deal with, he just wanted to talk to me but I just made him angry. Oh and before I forget he was also the one that kept throwing me on to the ground yesterday before I met you" Jacob looked at me and then back to his hands.

"Leah about the deal, I..I don't want you to go through with it" I looked at him and smiled.

"Well lucky you then, since I'm not doing it" He smiled at me and his eyes lit up. I have always had a little crush on Jake since Sam and I broke up, but there's no way that he is going to find out about that.

"Really?" He questioned me.

"Yeah" I said as I started to walk around and he followed me.

"You don't know how much that calms me down" Calms him? What does he mean?

"Calms you down? How?" I kept on walking.

"As much as I'm thankful for what you did I could never live with myself knowing that you are with the Volturi and not here with me" Where is he going with this?

"With you? " I asked.

"Leah stop walking around, I'm trying to be serious here and you are just making it harder for me." He snapped.

"I can walk around as much as I want to Black" is he really going to start a fight again?

"Leah stop!" He took a hold of my wrist and spun me around so I was facing him. He pulled me closer to his chest and I could feel my heart beat faster.

He stared into my eyes and he had this look on his face like he was trying to decide what to do.

"Jake, what are you.." But Jake's lips on mine cut me off. The kiss was sweet and romantic and I didn't want it to stop, but then my thoughts went on to Renesmee. I couldn't do this to her, even if I didn't like her. I didn't want her to feel the pain I had felt when Sam cheated on me. Plus she was Jake's imprint and I couldn't risk getting hurt again so I backed away.

"Leah?" Jacob asked with disappointment in his voice.

"I'm sorry Jake, I can't. You have an imprint, we can't do this to her."

"Your right, but there has always been something that pulls me towards you. I don't know what it is but I know that I am slowly falling for you Leah." Jacob took my hand in his.

"You can't be falling for me Jake. You have a soul mate and that is Renesmee" I felt my eyes become watery.

"What I feel for Renesmee isn't anything compared to what I feel for you Lee. I love Renesmee in a brotherly way and that's it "

"You can't fight an imprint Jake. I can't risk getting hurt again."

"I'm not Sam Leah, I would never hurt you. Please just give us a chance"

"I'm sorry Jake, but I…I can't" I let go of his hand and ran away as fast as I could while my tears streamed down my cheeks.

When I got home I threw myself on to the bed and kept on crying. Here I was Leah Clearwater crying over a boy. I had promised myself not to become so girly again after Sam but look how well that went.

I was finally starting to fall asleep when my phone started to ring.

I picked it up and answered in a tired voice.

"Hello?"

"Leah!" Paul screamed, and that made me sit up.

"Paul what's wrong?"

"Come down to the treaty line and I'll explain! Don't forget to bring Seth!" He said as he hung up. I went and wrote a note to our mum so she wouldn't freak out and then I woke Seth up. I just had a feeling that we weren't going to receive any good news when we arrive at the treaty line.

Thank you for reading!

I was wondering if any of you could give me a tips on a good Blackwater fanfic?
