Chapter 6: Board Games and Break-ups

Sorry it took so long to update. Had major writers block. And I just saw Eclipse yesterday! It was awesome! I changed my name yet again. The idea of this chapter came to me this morning. I hope you like it. I wanted to change something though. When Bella sees Sam and Emily in the lunchroom in the last chapter, she has been going to the school for a few weeks. So if you want to see what changed read the last chapter. Nothing major changed, but if you want to get a better grasp of the story then I would read it. In one of the earlier chapters I said that this story takes place around New Moon, well I take it back. It takes place around Twilight, but in this story all of the wolf pack changes at the same time so everyone that was a wolf in New Moon and Eclipse is a wolf in my story to. I know that was confusing, sorry. Ok, so sorry for the long AN, But I had to get these few things cleared up. So here is the long awaited chapter6!

*Disclaimer* These characters do not belong to me. They belong to Stephenie Meyer no matter how much I wish they belonged to me.

"Jacob, you can see as plainly as I can that this," I motioned to the two shaking twins who just kept looking at each other with death stares. "Is not normal!"

I could see that he was getting annoyed, and he took a deep breath.

"Bella, just trust me."

I ignored him and made my way for the twins.

"Bella!" he yelled again, but I just kept on walking. After I made about three steps, that's when it happened.

Jacob lunged towards me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and flipped me over his shoulder so I was hanging over his back. He began to run from the scene.

"Put me down!" I yelled, and began to bang my fists on his back which made them throb with pain.

"Not until we get away from the school. And for God's sakes Bella, stop hitting me. You'll break your hands." We were just going out the school's main doors when I heard a loud growl coming from down the hall. I looked up to see what it was, but I couldn't see anything because my head was bobbing up and down from Jacob's running. We were outside of the school and were now heading towards the woods.

"Jacob, will you please put me down?"

"Nope" and he continued to run farther away from the school. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever and my stomach was starting to kill me.

"Jake please put me down. My stomach really hurts." I pleaded. He ran for about five more strides and set me on my feet, which gave me a major head rush and I fell into his arms.

"Bella, are you all right?" He asked in a worried tone.

"Ya I'm fine." I said as I balanced myself back on my feet. "Just got a little dizzy." I smiled at him and was appreciating how beautiful he was when the reality, and anger, of what just happened settled in."What do you think you were doing?" I yelled. "You can't just toss me over your shoulder like some caveman and kidnap me from school!" He laughed at that.

"You think that was a kidnapping?"

"Shut up!" I snapped. "And what was the deal with Leah and Seth? Why did they act like they were about to kill each other?"

"Bella." Jacob interrupted. "Calm down, it was just…"

"I'll calm down when I'm ready to calm down Jacob Black! I want answers, and I want them now!" I could see that he was shocked. I never yelled like this, but I was annoyed, mad and confused. And I needed to know what was going on.

"Well?" I asked. He rolled on his heels once and looked at me. There was something in his eyes that made want to back away. It was like something that said, This is my land! You can't question me! It lied very dormant and his body language assured me that he wouldn't act on it, but it scared me a little. But I stood my ground because I knew Jacob, and if I asked for answers, he would give them to me.

"Bella," he started. "Leah and Seth have some anger problems." Ya, like I couldn't see that. "They tend to act on impulse, and they both have very high blood sugar so when they get mad, they get mad." Well, that explained the shaking, but what was the deal about Sam and Leah?

"What's the deal with Sam and Leah?" I asked. Jacob sighed and sat on a rock next to him and put his head in his hands. I sat on a fallen tree next to his rock and looked at him as he gathered his thoughts. He seemed very reluctant to tell me. He sighed and began to talk.

"When Sam was a senior last year, and Leah was a sophomore," Senior? I guess I was wrong about Sam's age. He must be like nineteen. "they were completely in love. A lot of people thought the age difference was inappropriate, but he was only two years older than she was, no big deal. So anyway, they went everywhere together, shopping, movies, you name it. Seth had no problem with it at the time. He was happy that his sister was being taken care of. Everyone thought that they were going to end up getting married once Leah graduated. Then one day Leah and Seth's cousin, Emily, came to visit. Sam took one look at her, and BAM! He fell in love. Next thing you know they were engaged and he left Leah." I was listening intently, with my arms wrapped around my knees. I couldn't believe that anyone could be that cruel. "Leah was a wreck" he continued. "She just sat in her room all summer and cried. The only reason she ever left her house was because her parents were threatening to send her to a shrink. Sam never forgave himself for what he did to her. And neither did Seth. She was never the same after that. She keeps up a happy, carefree attitude, but she hurts inside. All the time. When she's alone she cries. We can hear her in the bathroom crying almost every day. Now whenever she sees Sam and Emily she is reminded that he chose her, and she just goes into a total depression and doesn't bother to put up the go-happy act. She just…is there, if you know what I mean. She doesn't talk or eat anything. She just sits there all day, looking out into space. It scares me sometimes." And with that he stood up and began walking deeper into the woods. I was still thinking about everything he just said when I caught up to him.

"Where are we going?" I asked, no longer angry. I wasn't looking for a reason why he took me out of school anymore. In fact I was kind of glad I could spend some time with him.

"My place." He answered. He looked at me and gave me a small smile. "There are some board games that I could totally kick your ass at."

"In your dreams Black." I replied "What do you think we do all day in Arizona when it's to hot to go outside? Sit around and sing campfire songs?" He laughed, and we continued to make our way through the woods with thoughts of board games and heart crushing break ups running through our heads.
