Jacob
"I think I might like you" she said, then she rolled over and in minutes she was snoring softly. I cursed myself silently for being too shocked to react soon enough.
"I think I might like you too" I whispered to her before leaving the room quietly. As soon as I got downstairs, Bella came up to me, Ness not far behind.
"Jacob we need to talk to you" she said confidently.
"What do you want Bella?" I asked wearily. I was more than just tired from the last couple days and the fight we had had not even three hours ago. I was not in the mood to fight with anyone right now, my comebacks would be shameful.
"It's about Renesmee," of course it was about Renesmee, the whole vampire world must have already heard of what I'd done to her. Don't get me wrong, I actually regret most of what I said because of the way I said it to her. Other than that I'd meant what I'd said to her that day on the beach.
"Look, can you just tell me off already so I can go and call Seth? Maybe catch a few hours of sleep before I have to deal with anything?" I could already tell that Bella wanted to tell me off, I'm sure at least one other Cullen wanted to do the same.
"I'm not really here to tell you off Jake, but I think it would be better if we talked in private." She gestured towards the door; I rolled my eyes and nodded. Nessie hung back as I followed Bella out of the house, trying to keep myself from tripping over my own feet.
"Just go ahead and say whatever it is you want to say Bella," I tried to blink away the tiredness that was threatening to take over me.
"Jacob, I know what my daughter did was disrespectful to you but, you didn't have to go and yell at her for it." See, I knew she would take her side, Bella may be nice and sweet and all of that but she also doesn't like to hear two parts of one story.
"Yeah, you see I would have dealt with it a bit better if I hadn't come over and seen her all over that Nahuel guy. You know, it kind of sucks to see your imprint/girlfriend lip locking with another man." I was starting to get pissed, partly because I was tired and annoyed, and partly because I didn't want to hear any more excuses. After a while, you grow sick and tired of being told petty lies.
"Maybe she doesn't want to be with you," now that, that struck a nerve that ran deep into my veins. I bit my lip to keep myself from yelling at her. Maybe she doesn't want to be with me? If she didn't want to be with me, she should have told me before running off to make out with Nahuel.
"Then maybe she should have told me herself. Would have been a hell of a lot easier than me having to see her kissing another guy behind my fucking back!" I felt myself begin to shake, no, no I could not phase here. I had to keep myself calm; this wasn't worth losing my clothing over.
"She didn't want to hurt your feelings Jacob," she said and I began to laugh at her.
"Did she ever think how much more it hurt me to see her with Nahuel? It killed me inside Bella; I was the one in pain. I didn't want to believe anything I had seen, but there is a thick line between reality and fantasy. Well, maybe not for you, you have your fantasies and reality all in one." She looked like she couldn't believe a word I'd just said to her about the matter.
"Still, what I don't understand is why you picked Leah of all people. Then again, I guess she's just your rebound girl right? As soon as you find someone better, which shouldn't be hard since a $2 hooker is better than her, you'll dump her." This is what I hate about Bella, like really, really hate. Ever since she became a vampire she thinks she's all high and mighty because she's so indestructible.
"Leah is not my rebound girl, she's one of my best friends and I'm sorry if she's a hell of a lot better than you are! I won't need to dump her, because there is no one better." That right there was the absolute truth; I could never find anyone better if I lived for the rest of forever. I kind of loved Leah, and when you really love someone you know there is no better out there. Leah was always there for me, she opened up to me when she had a problem, and she would let me rant on to her when I needed to cool down. Even if I didn't like her, there still would not be a better person to be with even if I searched the rest of the world.
"You can't fight an imprint Jacob; you're always going to feel that pull towards Renesmee no matter what you do." I could just hear the venom dripping into her voice like an oozing acid.
"Actually, the imprint has been getting weaker. I may always feel its pull for the rest of my life, but I'll still have someone to make me happy. Saying that, I'm ending this conversation because I really don't feel like fighting you right now." I turned around and walked away from her; surprised she didn't follow I allowed myself to smirk at all that I'd said. I pulled off my clothing before phasing and getting in touch with Seth about Leah and other pack stuff.
Leah (few hours later)
"I never asked him to be with me at all! He just came to me because of your slut for a daughter." Why, why was I being punished by having Bella come into my room as soon as I woke up?She came in to complain to me that it's my entire fault that Jacob and Renesmee split up.
"You said something to him that made him want to break up with my daughter, it's your entire fault." She spat at me, I was so close to phasing right now and tearing her limb by limb. Unfortunately, doctor bloodsucker told me I should not phase for a while. Something about making sure I was completely healed, fine by me I don't want to end up dying. I was also, not in the mood to piss off any more vampires for the time being, even if one of them is more than just annoying.
"I told him to man up and not let Renesmee get away with what she'd done. Sorry, but she can't always get what she wants maybe you should teach her that." I swung my legs over the bed and smirked at her, she looked so annoyed that I was wondering what the hell Jacob had said to her.
Must have been something good if she was bitching at me.
"Now, if you don't mind I'm leaving," I got off the bed and pushed past her stone cold body. Heck, if I could I would have jumped out the window just to get outside. The window however, was blocked by other things so, my plan was useless. I kept my head low as I walked past the living room and to the door, nothing to do with being ashamed I just didn't want to have to look at them right now.
As soon as I was outside I cursed under my breath because I wasn't allowed to phase yet. I had to wait twenty-four hours just to make sure everything was back to normal. I barked out a laugh, yeah normal was the right word for me to be using. Since when was I normal anyways? I turned around and, walking backwards, stuck my tongue out at the Cullen house. This was only meant for Bella bitch and Renesbrat of course, everyone else was on neutral territory.
I broke out into a run, I needed to go and see my mother. She would never believe I was alright unless she saw me with her own eyes. I also would need to find Jacob; I was interested in what exactly he'd said to Bella to make her so pissed off at me. I slowed down as I saw my house a couple doors down the street, I saw a parked car in the driveway so I knew my mother was home. I ran the rest of the way, getting a bit excited to tell my mom I was okay.
"Mom! I'm home!" I called as I opened the door. We always kept a spare key in the mailbox so; I had no problem getting in. My mom stuck her head out of the kitchen and as soon as she caught sight of me, her eyes went wide as she ran over to hug me.
"You have no idea how worried I was about you Leah! I came home to find out that Seth was injured and you'd been taken by a bunch of vampires!" She told me frantically.
"Well, Seth and I are safe now so you don't have to worry about us anymore mom." Wrong thing to say to say to her after everything that has happened. She put both of her hands on her hips and gave me the famous how-stupid-do-you-think-I-am look. I sighed; there was no winning this talk when the opposition was my own mother.
"I'll worry about you and your bother until the day you die, that's my job." I rolled my eyes and let a small smile creep onto my face.
"Well, I'm going up to my room. You'd think after being out for so long that I'd feel fully awake," I told her as I climbed the stairs.
"Okay, I'll call you when dinner is ready." I smiled as I made my way to my room, man; it had been a while since I was able to sleep in here. I fell right onto the bed and pulled myself up a little until my head found the pillow. It felt almost peaceful to be back here, I didn't have to worry about some crazy bloodsucker busting through my window anymore.
There was however, something that caused a huge knot to form in my stomach. It was Jacob; I remember that I'd told him I liked/loved him. I never expected for him to love me back, who would? I'm a compassionless bitchy shrew to the rest of the world. I knew he'd said something to me right before I'd fallen asleep, but I was too zoned out to understand what he'd said. Maybe that's why he left, maybe he felt disgusted after hearing my confession to him. I turned over and lay on my side, noticing my phone on my bedside table. Jacob must have returned it while I was still at the Cullen's, well that was nice of him...I guess.
I closed my eyes and tried to get back to sleep when I heard my phone buzzing around against the wood. I groaned, just when I felt sleep begin to take over, someone calls me. I sat up and grabbed my phone and flipped it open, not even bothering to check who was calling me.
"Hello?" I asked in a weary voice. I was way past tired right now. I could feel a slight headache coming on, but that was probably from having to listen to Bella whine about her daughter.
"I'm glad your feeling better Leah, but I really need to talk to you. Can you meet me outside, like maybe at the beach?"
End.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I have to say, I'm proud of this chapter too^.^ The last couple ideas came to me while I was sitting at the park writing in my notebook. More to come very soon, until than...REVIEW!
