Ch5. Torture, Dates and Jealousy.

"Ow Alice, don't brush my hair so hard!" I yelled as Alice brushed my short hair. She seemed determined to yank it out by the roots.

"Don't whine, no pain no gain." Alice stated.

"Blondie is perfect and I don't see her screaming out in pain."

"Some of us are just lucky I guess." She said smugly but I knew she was kidding deep inside.

"Or some of us were incredibly gorgeous as humans and then transformed to be the most beautiful vampire in the blood –sucking universe." She shrugged but smiled

"Leah, you're incredibly pretty and you're human!"

"Well then I guess I'm free to go." She pushed me down into the chair and glared.

"Ha, not so fast."

"You're so lucky you guys are my friend." I muttered.

"Look Alice she actually said we were her friends!"

"Aww I think I might cry."

"Don't take to heart, you guys." I rolled my eyes.

"Leah stay put or I'll bring in Emmet."Alice warned. I groaned and tried not to move.

"I'm just trying for you to look your best for your date, tonight." I became quiet; after all she was doing me a favor. Well it was more like me announcing my date with Terry and then Alice controlling on what I would say and wear. Regardless it was sort of nice for a vampire. After two hours of torture Alice finally finished my hair. I wasn't allowed to see it until she was done with my make-up. She didn't do much make-up since she knew it was the one thing I would hate to be wearing. She only put up a bit of lip-gloss and mascara. Rosalie gave me my dress. I finally got to glance myself at the mirror. Dammit Alice could work wonders. My short hair was made into a tiny bun that consisted of even tinier braids. My eyes had a shine of their own but that was possible because of Terry. My dress was stunning. It was a black dress with spaghetti-straps the skirt was a bit wavy. The dress was just a few inches above me knee. It was perfect, simple yet elegant. I was already tall enough for terry so I wore these cute sandals that were flat. We descended down the stairs. Edward and Emmet were there. Emmet whistled which made Rose hit him. Have to admit Emmet is the stronger one but Rose is the scariest one. Edward just smiled and then went back to his book. I almost jumped out of my dress when my cell phone rang.

"Hello?" I answered eagerly.

"Hey, Leah." It was Jake's voice.

"Oh it's you."

"Wow I'm glad to talk to you too, Leah." He said sarcastically.

"No need for you to be so sweet, either. Okay Jake so what do you need?"

"Well I need for you to…"

"Just spit it out, Jacob." I said impatiently.

"Are you sure you want to go out tonight? What if I need you to run a patrol, tonight? After all you're the fastest wolf in the LaPush." I sighted and rubbed my temples.

"Okay do you really need me to run a patrol tonight?"

"Not really. I guess you're allowed to go on your date."

"Thanks a lot, oh-mighty-alpha." I said sarcastically.

"Bye Leah." He said with no emotion. Not even anger or irritation.

He sounded disappointed and then he hung up. Well that was odd. There was a knock on the door. Alice pushed me into a chair and ran to open the door for Terry.

"Come on in!" She greeted and pulled him towards the leaving room. She was checking out his outfit and gave an approving nod. I wouldn't have care if he was wearing sweatpants! Hell even I want to wear sweatpants right now! Too bad I looked hot in this dress.

"Ready?" Terry asked me and I saw a small smile playing on his lips.

"Oh yeah." I waved goodbye to the Cullens and we stepped outside. It was a nice weather today. I didn't need my jacket but brought it just in case. We got inside Terry's mustang. He drove fast, I liked it. He put his eyes over my eyes and walked me into a Seattle's restaurant. The restaurant was astounding. The restaurant was divided in half, the first half was a dancing floor and the other half was the restaurant with the food. Terry and I went to dance floor. It was fun they all only played 80s retro, I'm more of an alternative rock girl but the music was decent. He was pretty good at the dancing, I'm good at dancing if I do say so myself. By the time I was done dancing, I was starving. I ordered Salmon, and mashed potatoes. I blushed feeling self-conscious, but Terry just smiled and put me at ease. The waitress put my plate and coke in front of me and went away. I eat slowly while listening to Terry.

"No way so you're favorite book is a children's book?"

"Yup, I love Where the Wild Things Are." He stated. I laughed a little. He raised an eyebrow

"So what's your favorite children's book, wolf girl?" I didn't think about it, not even for a second.

"The Little Prince, of course."

"The Little Prince?"

"Yeah, I love that book. It was the only the book that actually made me cry." I said softly. He looked at me as if it was the first time he was staring at me. I felt self-conscious.

"Wow Leah Clearwater actually has feelings!" He joked. I punched his shoulder.

"They did until you said that!" We giggled and asked for the check. We just listened to music on the way back to my house. He parked his car in front of my house. He walked me to my door.

"Thanks for everything. I had so much fun."

"Thanks for coming, Leah. I've never had this much fun since the 60s." I smiled softly. My impulse told me to come closer to him. Yet there was a small doubt in the back of my head. Terry came closer and kissed me gently. I kissed him back. It was an amazing reaction. Fire and ice finally meeting and reacting, goddamit! I hate it being so cheesy! But it was amazing.

"My thoughts exactly. I'll call you later." He grinned as he jogged back to his car. The lights of my house were all off, ever since my mom moved in with Charlie everything is been pretty quiet. I went through the back door and turn on the lights Jake was eating a bowl of cereal.

"You better not be eating my lucky charms." I warned him.

"I just did, besides you're too tall to be leprechaun." I laughed slightly.

"Wow you actually laughed at my lame joke." He said.

"I know, I thought that would make your night today."

"Sure, sure, how was the date?"

"Perfect."

"Perfect?"

"Yes, perfect." I said a bit annoyed. Jacob looked as if he wanted to say something but he didn't. His eyes seemed dark and puffy. As if he waited up all night just for me. I put a soft hand on his shoulder.

"You look horrible, Jacob. You should go to bed." I turned to leave the kitchen when Jacob grabbed me by the elbow and spun me around.

"Huh?" I was confused.

"Leah, do you want go to the carnival with me?" Jacob blurted out. My heart stopped beating. My whole world was turned upside-down once more.

"What?!" I yelled.

(A/N: I hate school -,-! Enjoy the chapter, guys! A bit of a cliff-hanger for you guys.)
