Ch7. Run Away from the Pain

My dreams were even more vivid than real life. I was falling through the sky, but I was numb. I landed solidly on my feet. I walked without direction through the forest. Suddenly Jake appeared out of nowhere. He gave me a hand and I tried to reach it but it was too far away. Finally when I grabbed his hand, mine goes through. Like as if he was a ghost, a blinding light knocked me backward and Jake disappeared. I feel numb but slightly hurt without Jacob here. I keep walking through the forest, deep until a shape appears out of nowhere. It was Terry. I keep running and I jump into his arms. He held me for a long time. He then got a disappointed look on his face. He knew about the kiss. Slowly he started to fade away. I screamed and cried but both Jake and Terry were gone. I woke up abruptly after that. I stared at myself on the mirror. My hair was sticking up everywhere. I changed quickly and went downstairs. It was early so Seth and Jacob are probably sleeping. I decide to get everything off my mind, so I prepared a huge breakfast for both of them. In the middle of breakfast I wonder to why the hell am I doing this. Ugh since I imprinted I've feeling so freaking nice. Shit I'll need to kick someone's ass to keep with my rep. I finally finished and made eggs, bacon and waffles. I grabbed a plate and ate by myself in the kitchen. I finished eating when the two of them walked into the kitchen.

"Shoot, Leah you made this all by yourself?" Seth asked.

"No, little house elves came to help me." I said sarcastically. Jacob looked confused. I didn't know what to do so I did what I always do; I try to be a bitch.

"You guys should wake up earlier." I washed my plate and walked to the kitchen door.

"The dishes better be done when I come back." I told them over my shoulder without looking back. I slam the backdoor behind me, I'm about to run to the forest when a tiny shape grabbed me and took me into the forest. The tiny pixie glared at me. I glared back but I was a bit curious.

"What the hell, Alice?"

"Leah Clearwater! Why didn't you tell me how was your date with Terry?"

"What? Oh that. It was perfect."

"Perfect, well I'm glad Leah, you final--"

"Alice, that's not that important! I kissed Jacob!"

"Huh?! You what?!" She screeched at the top of her tiny lungs. I told her everything from the hotdogs to the kiss on the Ferris wheel. She looked petrified for a moment.

"You hate me, don't you? Fine I don't like having leeches for best friends!" I said.

"I don't hate you, I'm surprised." She said.

"Huh never thought in my life I would hear of a psychic being surprised."

"I can't see your future, remember? I can barely see Terry since you imprinted." Said Alice a bit annoyed.

"Right. Anyway aren't you mad I kissed the little spawn—I mean your niece's boyfriend?"

"Not really. Sometimes I feel like she doesn't truly love him. Jasper feels their emotions and most of the time is one-sided."

"How can you stand her?" I asked bitterly.

"She's not bad, she's just spoiled."

"That's not excuse, Alice. Bella is just as spoiled."

"I know. But they're family, what can you do?"

"I guess you're right about that. I hate myself for still loving Jake when he still loves her."

"He loves you, Leah. Are you blind?" Alice asked outrage.

"Well I… don't know. He was the one who kissed me. That bastard taking advantage of me."

"This is so wrong! We need to do something about it."

"I thought about kicking Jacob's ass."

"Not about that. Jacob kissing you is a good thing!" She announced.

"What have you been smoking Alice? Wait can be vampires actually get high?"

"Leah, focus! Wait can we really get high? Hmm I got to spike Edward's drink next time…Thought how can I get--"

"Alice focus! Remember me cheating on my imprint!"

"Right. Don't you see imprinting takes your will away! I can't stand it; Nessie and Jake aren't meant to be together! You guys are perfect for each other!" She yelled her heart out.

"You read way too many romantic books, you know that?" I sighted.

"Leah, you do like Jacob don't you?"

"Yes I think I do. I already mentioned it three times. But I don't want to leave my imprint, I need him. Alice I need Terry so much and not in a healthy way. The whole imprinting thing is freaking me out." She puts a hand on my shoulder and spoke softly.

"Is going to be okay, Leah. Don't worry someday you'll get your happy ending." Here I was being comforted by a leech it was rather odd but I didn't have many friends and I did like Alice.

"I highly doubt it. Well I have to go home and dwell on this." She nodded and looked at me for a moment.

"To be honest with somebody. You have to be honest with yourself. Try to make the right choice, Leah." And then she was gone. That was so like a bloodsucker, tell you just some cliché advice and then run off. But she was right I need to be honest. I couldn't go home just yet. I ran towards the beach. I sat there thinking for a while, it was cold but I didn't mind. I was pondering over this matter until I got an idea. An idea so crazy it might just work. I'm in love with Jacob Black and I will break my imprint. I won't hurt Terry I like him but I'll definitely break the imprint. I stood up and saw the sun breaking from the clouds. I smiled and walked all the way home.

A/N: I know is a short and boring chapter but Leah needs comfort and I thought an Alice/Leah moment would be nice. Next chapter is way more interesting I promise!
