Flaws and All

Chapter 6; Part 2

Leah's Point of View

"Hey, Lee—just stopped by… I thought you'd want a slice of pizza," Jacob said.

"Hey Jake," I replied, quickly throwing my Dark-Notebook across my bedroom—it landed behind my drawer.

"What was that?" Jake kneeled by me, on the floor.

"Um, it was Seth's diary. I found it in his room and decided to read it… You won't tell him that I have it, right?" I was worried. He saw me throw it. Good thing that I was such a good liar.

Jacob was here! I was so happy. It's been quite a long time—for me—since I've seen him. His first time coming back here after the accident and he smells. Sauce and chess, I figured. I guess that explains why he has a box with him… Or maybe he doesn't smell; maybe it's just the box.

"Ew, Jacob," I began. "You stink. What did you eat?" I fanned my face to make him get irritated. Sometimes he looked like a furious kitty. Sigh.

"It was Emmett. He started the food-fight. Apparently Alice figured it out—that we were going to assault them with wings and pizza. It was fun," he said. "I'm really starting to miss you, Lee. My early rounds aren't that fun anymore." He sighed heavily.

"I kinda miss you too snot-face. I feel better now, but Carlisle is still telling my mom to keep my hostage in my damn bedroom. It's so annoying; I can't even go to the bathroom privately anymore. My mom is always hovering around me."

He chuckled. "I brought you a slice of pizza. Here." He handed the small greasy box to me.

I opened it and then the smell hit me; it smelled really, really, really appetizing. Yum! I didn't care the Jacob was here. I suddenly started devouring it. I felt the sauce smudge all over my face. I don't care, it tastes really good. Jacob suddenly got up.

"Do you mind if I lay on your bed? Emmett wacked me in the head with a chair and then pinned me to the floor. It was icky." Jacob asked.

"Sure," I replied, finishing the piece that I was chomping on.

He quietly walked back to my door and closed it—what the fudge!—and then walked back over to the other side of my bed. He acted like if he was going to do a cannonball but right when he was about to hit the bed, he laid down gently.

"I got this chicks number today. She was so beautiful," he said, with his hand on the back of his head. "Her name is Taylor, but she likes people to just call her Liz."

What the hell! He just met a girl today and he was hitting on her? Shit, I should have been there to break her face! Wait… why would I care if he just met a girl? I don't care. Or do? "Oh, really? Why do they call her Liz if her name is Taylor? That's kinda weird," I said.

"Well, her name is Elizabeth—that's her real first name. And you know what? She freaking hot! She even gave me her number; she says that I remind her of someone back in Italy."

I was getting aggravated. Was Jake here to just talk about her? Or was he here because he missed me?! I looked at him. His ugly face—well no, not ugly, it was actually really cute—was making a twinkly expression. He was also plumping his lips and kissing nothing.

"You're an ass, Black," I said, making him snap out of his reverie.

"What? I was just night-dreaming. It's not my fault that she looks like a super-model. She looks kinda like you, but she's not retarded looking."

"Oh, hell no you !#$^ *$#!&^ %$Shi*T!" I knew I was about to flip out on him.

Seth's Point of View

I was sitting across the table from my mom. She apparently made grilled-cheese sandwiches, so I had to get my hands on one of them. I munched and listened to anything suspicious that was coming down fro Leah's room. What could they be talking about upstairs? Jake just said that he would be giving Lee the pizza and that after that he was leaving. But as much as I tried to hear, it was just impossible.

"Honey? Are you okay?" my mom asked. "You haven't answered my question.

"Uh, what question? I didn't hear you ask anything," I replied. Maybe trying to listen in on Leah and Jake's conversation was dumbing me out down here.

"Well… Today Charlie and I were talking—while you were out. He was talking to me about Renée's anniversary party down in Jacksonville. Bella "accidently" bought him an extra ticket." She looked ecstatic. I was happy that Mom was feeling better since… Well, since Dad left. I feel relieved that she's with Charlie. He's a good guy.

"And the point is…?" At the same time of our conversation, my ears were still snooping around Leah and Jacob. I heard Leah curse really loud. I looked at my mom to see if she noticed, but she was still stuck with our conversation. What the hell are Leah and Jake up to now?!

"Charlie invited me to go with him. Bella, Edward, Carlisle and Esme are accompanying us too. So, I was asking you if it would be okay if I disappeared for a week."

"Cool, mom. That's… great. It's fine with me so Leah will be fine too." Now I heard a blow. There was a moan—it came from Jacob.

My mom's cell phone started vibrating on the table. She immediately picked it up. This only meant that it was Charlie. "Sure, I'll be outside in a minute," she said, and then hung up. Her cheeks were shading pink. "Honey, Charlie invited me out for a milkshake with Billy. I'll be back in a few minutes." She stood up and kissed me on the forehead and with the, she exited the front door.

After she left, I immediately ran up the stairs. Up here, the groans and moans were more audible. I carefully took hold of the door knob and opened it. My eyes practically fell out of their sockets when I saw these two.

Leah was on the floor with her legs wrapped around Jacob's body and he was on top of her with his hands pinning hers above her head on the wooden floor.

I gasped out loud and then they both exchanged glances towards me. Leah's face flushed dark red.

Out of the blue, Leah slapped Jacob. "And that's what you get for making me choke on my pizza!" she said, but anger wasn't visible on her face.

"Ow!" Jacob reacted, rubbing his left cheek. He dismounted her. "It's your fault! You attacked me first." He grabbed one of Leah's pillows and blew it across her face.

"And then you tell me that I start to hurt you," Leah snapped, holding her hand against her stomach.

"For a minute I thought you guys were doing the 'thang thang.' I heard you all the way downstairs. Good thing mom isn't here. She went out with Charlie like four minutes ago," I said. "Naughty, naughty, naughty, kids."

I was still standing by the doorway and Jacob and Leah were now sitting on the bed. I didn't know what they were fighting about, but I shouldn't even ask if I wanted to slip away from one of Leah's punches or socks.

"It's late," Jacob said, snapping us out of our awkward silence. "I should get going before Billy decides to lock me out again. Last time I had to sleep in the shed with the cockroaches and Mr. Beetle-Juice." He chuckled.

"Mr. Beetle-Juice?" Me and Leah said. Weird much?

"It was some random cat. It looked evil—like Rosa-leech—so I named it Beetle-Juice."

"Weirdo," Leah muttered.

"I'll walk you down, Jake," I volunteered.

"Sure, sure." He stood up and tousled Leah's hair. "Good night Clearwater. Don't let Liz haunt your sweet dreams." He chuckled.

"You're stupid, Black," Leah said, gagging at the end of the sentence.

"Night Lee," I said before closing her door.

"Night kiddo," she responded. "Good night to you too Jerkob. Hope you dream about elephant nuts! And the really big ones too!"

Jacob chuckled. "Ha, sure, sure."

I don't know about you, but i thought the last part was funny.

Review please!
