Like the last chapter? :). Alright! I bring to you...Chapter 4!
*Leah's POV*
I finally passed the old "La Push Welcomes You" sign driving on the road to my mum's house. She already found me an apartment and paid off the first month for me as Welcome Home/Congrats on Graduating College gift. I was about five minutes away from my mum's house when my phone went off alerting me of a text.
"If it's Danny again, I'm gonna..SHIT!"
Someone ran in front my car! I slammed on the brakes sending Toro's dogbed off the passenger seat and onto the floor. I put the car in park and ran out to see who ever this rebel was!
"Oh my god! Are you ok? Are you hurt? Do you need me to drive you to the hospital?"
I looked up and saw Jacob Black with a huge grin on his face.
"What the fuck Jacob? Are you crazy? Just running out in the street like that?! I could've killed you!" I punched him hard in the arm and he started laughing.
"Nothing is funny here! What is I were some human just going out for a drive? You'd be werewolf paste! Prick!"
"Leah! I've missed you!" He pulled me in for a bear hug while Toro was barking his face off.
"My dog is all bark. No bite!" I laughed and pulled away from our embrace.
"So I heard you graduated college! Are you back to stay or his this just a visit?"
"To stay. I was actually on my way to my mum's house to get the key to my new apartment. You wanna tag along and I'll drop you off at your dad's?"
"Uh, actually I moved out. I have an apartment of my own at Creek Plaza. I'll just run home."
"I'm at Creek Plaza! We're neighbors! I could just go get my key, carpool home, and you can show some La Push hospitality and carry my boxes in!" I grinned a very evil grin. "Please Jakey? Pwease?"
"Fine, fine. You're lucky I'm off tomorrow or I would ditch you and go to sleep!"
"Thanks! You're awesome. Come on. Let's stop standing in the middle of the road before we both become werewolf paste."
We walked back to my car and I got in and watched as Toro started barking and growling. I picked Toro up and put him in my lap and took off.
"So how have things been in La Push the past four years?"
"Good, good. Embry got a girlfriend and they're having a baby soon. Quil is still with Claire. She's 7 and very sassy. Paul and my sister got married and Rachel owns a flower shop while Paul and I work at a car garage. Collin, Brady, and Seth are like best friends. You already know this school year they'll be seniors and stuff. Did you want to know about you know who? Or.." I shook me head no and things got quiet. I turned up my music and a little bit faster so things wouldn't be awkward.
We finally made it to my mum's around 2:40 AM. I cracked the windows for Toro and got out to get this over with. I went up to the door and knocked loudly because why not? After what seemed like foever, Seth finally opened the door looking exhausted. I pulled him into a huge hug and ruffled his hair.
"Hey Seth! Did you just get off patrol?"
"Unfortunately! Just come in and get the key. Mom and Dad are sleeping."
"Aww don't be cranky! Where is it?"
Seth handed me the key, nodded his head to every question I asked, and almost pushed us out the door .
"Come back tomorrow or something! Bye! Love you!" And slammed the door.
Jacob and I gave each other strange looks and walked back to the car. "That was a lovely 'Welcome Back' talk" I mumbled as I started the car and turned to Jacob. "Where to?"
"Sorry, I forgot you're new. Go straight Washinton Ave. and turn left on King and it's going to be on your right hand side." He said as he looked through my playlist.
"Backstreet Boys? Really, Leah?"
"Hey! They were the best when I was a teenager!" I snatched my ipod out of his hands and played 'I Want It That Way'.
"Yeah, you can drop me off here and I'll just.." "It's not that bad! Don't be a baby!" I turned up the volume and started singing along as loud as I could.
"You are ...my fireeee! The one...desireeee! Believe...when I saw! I want it that wayyyyy!" I kept grabbing Jake's arm and dancing while not even swerving the car! Skills!
"The entrance is right there! Please hurry so I can get out of this car!"
"I'll that as a 'I love you, Leah! You are awesome and cool and amazing!'"
"You wish! Which building are you in?" I reached into the glove compartment and took out the paper I put all the information on and handed it to Jacob so he can tell me where to go. He read it and raised his eyebrows and started smiling.
"What is it?"
"Your building 6 and the number is 245..."
"How is that funny?"
"We live directly across the hall from each other."
"Really? So lead the way neighbor!"
We reached the building and I pulled into a parking spot and turned off the engine. "Ready to help me?" I asked Jacob grinning. He yawned and said "Let's get this over with so I can go to sleep."
I grabbed Toro, my purse, my keys, and started walking up the steps to my new apartment with Jacob right behind me. That sounds so cool and official. I unlocked the door, opened the door and flicked on the lights.
"Wow,,,your mom must really love you.."
I looked around and there was a flat screen tv, couch and love seat set, coffee table, dining room table and big vase of my favorite flowers on the table. Lillies. I set Toro down and he walked around. Jacob went to the fridge and yelled "Dude, it's fully stocked! I'm just gonna grab a few things here.." "Yeah, sure, whatever.."
I walked into the bathroom and saw towels and soap and things of that nature. I crossed the hall to my bedroom and saw a queen-sized bed with a pretty purple set on it with a dresser and night-stand that matches.
Jacob entered the bedroom with chips stuffed in his mouth to see me sitting on the edge with tears in my eyes.
"Leah? What's wrong babe?" Babe? Uhhhh..
"I just wasn't expecting my parents to do this. I was actually scared to move back because I didn't know what my living situations were going to be like..I'm just incredibly grateful. That's all.."
He gave me a hug and a kiss on my forehead. "You know if you ever need me, I'm here. Or I'm like right across the hall."
"Thanks, Jakey Pooh" and I hugged him even tighter.
"Let's go get your stuff so you can settle in."
We brought all my boxes upstairs and I unpacked a few of my things, threw some clothes in the closet and put pajamas on. Toro's dogbed was in the living room but he was currently passed on on my bed right next to Jacob. Both of them snoring incredibly loud and stretched out on MY bed. I looked at the clock I put on my nightstand and saw that it was 4:32 AM. I walked over to the bed and tried my best to get comfortable without waking up the boys. I got a little comfortable on the complete edge of the bed. I turned around and faced Jacob looking at his face as he was sleeping. I thought of the crush I had on him when we were youngsters running around La Push. He always had a crush on the little pale girl, Bella. I completely forgot about her! Before I left four years ago, I know Jacob had a huge thing for her. I'd have to ask him about her in the morning..
