Ch.12 Best Friend

I tried waking up a few times but I was just too tired. Finally I woke up, my head didn't hurt I just felt extremely tired. I found myself on a big room in a rather comfortable bed. I smelled the bed and made a gagging noise.

"That stuff stinks like shit!" I exclaimed. Seth, who was actually in the room all this time, woke up and came running towards me.

"Leah, you are awake!"

"No, I'm just sleep-talking." He frowned slightly; I guess I was giving him a hard time.

"So what happened after I blacked out?"

"I can tell you that." Terry said. He came smiling into the room. I smiled and a waved of relief flooded through me.

"How are you feeling, princess?"

"I actually feel great. What did Dr. Fang do?"

"Nothing actually, he just gave you painkillers and your body did the rest."

"Seth, do you mind if I talk to Leah for a moment?" He wanted to protest but he said no anyway.

"Don't you dare to leave without giving your sister a hug." I said. He came back and hugged me gently.

"Don't scare me like that again." He said and then he grinned his stupid smile before leaving.

"So what do you want to talk about?"

"I don't want to talk here." I nodded. I put clothes on. I walked all the way to window.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"We're sneaking out the window aren't we?"

"Yes we are but you won't jump off."

"What? I'm perfectly fine--" I protested but I didn't get to finish my sentence because he got me into an iron-grip. Before I could struggle he jumped swiftly from the window to the nearest tree. He repeated this until we got into a clearing in the forest. He put me down gently.

"Don't do that, I'm not crippled you know."

"You cracked your skull."

"So what? I still can use my legs."

"Be nice or I won't tell you the story."

"Fine, tell me." I said begrudgingly.

"Well after you stopped suddenly talking to me we knew something was wrong. We ran as fast as we could to get to you. We got there and I saw the vampire Luigi hitting you. Jake was so mad he instantly phased into a werewolf. I was so mad I saw red. I tried to run towards Luigi but Jake jumped in front of me and wouldn't let me attack."

"Why not?" I asked confused. Terry shook his head as if the answer was obvious.

"Jake shred Luigi to pieces. I took care of the other vampires. I needed to take my anger out on someone. After that I comforted Nessie. I was going to carry you but Jake said that it was his responsibility. It started raining. He took off his short to cover you."

"Why? Why did Jake do all this?"

"It's obvious, Lee. Jacob is in love with you." I blushed a deep crimson.

"And you are in love with Jacob Black."

"That's ridiculous! Have you been talking to Edward again?!" I growled.

"It doesn't take two mind readers to figure what's going between you two. You look longing at him. You always have. Probably before I came." I looked at the floor and felt like a bitch. How could I have done this to Terry?

"I'm sorry." I said lamely.

"Don't apologize. Leah you were forced to do something you didn't want to. But now you can do whatever the hell your pretty little psycho head wants. I'm breaking the imprint." He kissed my forehead gently when he said that. I stared at him in disbelief.

"Is that even possible?"

"I think so. I still feel fond of you but in a different way."

"I…think you're right, Terry." I said. I felt different towards him. I didn't feel the pull anymore. I didn't feel ropes trying to hold back my heart. He smiled sadly as if this was our last time together. I felt sad but it felt more real.

"Terry I feel something towards you."

"Really? Is it lust? Because if it is I'm all for it." I laughed softly and punched him.

"You always make me laugh. Is like the best friend I really never had."

"Best friend, huh?" He asked thinking about it.

"Yeah. Wait I've always wondered."

"What?"

"We imprint because we need something from each other. I imprinted on you because maybe I felt truly lonely."

"No is not because of that. I was lonely, ever since I became a vampire. I found you, which is weird you're feisty, smart, outspoken but at the same time a bit sweet, sarcastic and funny. The reason you needed me was because you needed someone to make you realize how much you love Jake." I blushed.

"Are you high? Why so insightful today?" He laughed and gave me a hug.

"No reason at all."

"Let's go back."

"Okay." I nodded I was actually happy. I had a best friend, a true friend. It sounds sad but for once I didn't care.

"So how do you feel about moving into my house?" I asked.

"As long as you don't watch me while sleeping." We laughed at the reference and walked slowly back to the house.
