The pain was a shocking, almost unbearable thing to deal with. It was like living with a bullet stuck in my head and I was still conscious to witness it all. My screams were cut short after considering in a microsecond that I sounded like a two year old girl that dropped her ice cream. But her screams continued and I wasn't even touching her.

I had nearly doubled over when the pair of hands flew from my face. Numbness clouded my head with in a minute and I stood there, with hands on my knees gasping for air. I hadn't realized I was holding my breath.

"RENEESEME! LEAH! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Jacob yelled deliberating which of us should request his attention first. Of course we all knew who the boy chose but Seth was at my side in the moment where I had started screaming. I don't know how many times he was trying to ask me if I was okay, but it sure as hell was getting on my last nerve.

"You…" I managed to choke out and yes I was implying the little freak that touched me. That bitch was going to hell one way or another I mean how fucking stupid can you get?! No means no all around the world in every language.

I would've phased here and now, making a weak attempt to kill her, but I couldn't even get my eyes open, let alone focus on anything. Seth had managed to sit me back down on the couch while Jake started to pick up his thing but it spoke.

"My Jacob, I am fine. The pain is gone now; there was a…miscommunication amongst us I suppose." Well duh, "It has never happened before, is it because she is abnormal?"

Abnormal? I started laughing considering the fact that I was more normal than she'll ever be.

The boys and Kim stared at me like I'd gone mad, and maybe I was, but none the less they didn't like the abnormal part either. Jacob was about to speak until the leech interrupted.

It seemed as if she finally understood what had come out of her mouth.

"Leah, I am sorry, I did not mean it like that please forgive me."

I wouldn't forgive her if the world had blown up and we were the last two people in hell, stuck there with each other forever. I only glared at her, placing the ice pack Seth offered me on my forehead.

"First of all Reneseme, you had absolutely no right to use your gifts on Leah like that. No means no and it's hard enough that Leah has to deal with the most complex life. She's done a lot for you and your family so try and be a little more responsible with your actions... Is that understood?"

"Yes Jakey, I promise to never touch her again."

First, I couldn't believe that Jake was actually scolding her, and second of all it almost made me gag to hear the word Jakey. What was he like almost eighteen now?

Once the half breed leech put on her "I'm going to cry face" Jacob automatically looked like he regretted saying those things. He pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her forehead.

Pedophile.

"Consider me gone." I started to stand up before Embry gently caught a hold of my arm.

"Leah, I wanna know what happened. What exactly did Nessie do to you?" He asked, or more like demanded.

"I don't know what her intentions were but there were definitely no fucking images running through my mind. It was filled with these shocking waves of pain and I wanna know what the hell happened to!"

"Leah, I am sorry. I felt what you felt and it was very unpleasant. I was only curious to why this had happened and my assumptions brought me to the fact that you are indeed the only female shape shifter. I was not implying that you were abnormal and for that I am sorry."

Blah blah blah blah blah…She had the littlest voice and yet her words sounded like one hundred years old. And maybe the damn leech shouldn't make assumptions!

"We're not blaming Leah for being a female werewolf. Not everything goes wrong because of that." Seth said, to my defense.

"No, we're not Seth, it was only a thought." Jacob said giving his half breed little freak to Kim.

"How're feeling now?" He asked taking the backside of his hand and placing it on my forehead.

My heart skipped a couple of beats and I knew I couldn't hold his glance forever so I averted my eyes to the floor.

"Leah?" He asked again; worry rapidly increasing across his voice.

When I didn't say anything, he moved his hand to my cheek and said, "Leah look at me."

I really appreciated the fact that Jake cared so much for me and the pack but I could also see him stealing worried glances at his girlfriend making sure she was still alright as well. It was like he was basically dying to hold her again.

Sorry I'm such a burden Jake.

I brushed his hand off of me and returned to sitting on the couch.

"I'm peachy, it's just a headache. Besides, don't you have somewhere else to be right now?" I asked him.

"Yeah I do. Hey Seth, make sure you get Leah some Advil or something kay? And Leah take it easy, we'll be back by sunset." He said, looking around for his bottle of water.

"Don't worry Jake; I'll shove the whole bottle down her throat if I have to." Seth said with a wicked grin plastered upon his face.

"You'll never catch me."

"You never know." He bluffed.

"Anyways we better get going. Seth you look out for the girls." Jacob said lastly, ready to leave out the door.

Kim and I laughed as if Seth could handle such a job.

"Yeah, whatever." He said as we laughed a little harder.

They left which meant the mutant, Kim, and I were left since Seth had gone to Embry's room for the night.

"They probably won't get back till at least three." Kim said.

"Humph, that's their problem. Hey Kim, how come your not with Jared anyways?" Them two were like cake and frosting, peanut butter and jelly, two pees and a pie, salt and pepper an Xbox with its controller, a bed with sheets, like feet that needs socks, or Joni and Chachi, like Jack and Jill or Romeo and Juliet. It was ridiculous to watch them ooh and aah at each other all the time.

"What? You don't like my company?"

I looked at her. "It's not that-"

"I'm kidding. I just thought that you could use more girl time."

"Thanks. A lot." I said closing my eyes again. I couldn't sleep though because of the fact that a smelly devil spawn was in the facilities still.

And as Kim read my mind she said, "Leah I could take Nessie with me to my place. My parents are out anyways and I'm sure Seth is more than capable to help you with any vampire problems if there were any. More than I could anyways."

"Really Kim, you don't have to. You I don't mind."

"Leah, I am most certainty-" IT started to speak before I rudely purposely interrupted her.

"Why don't you slip into something more comfortable, like a coma? Then you can actually make the majority of people living on this Earth happy as well. That'll be my Birthday Wish for next year."

There was a moments silence before Kim spoke again.

"Leah, knock that shit off, she hasn't done anything to you." Kim said getting up.

"Whatever" I sigh in frustration, I mean can't a girl sleep these days. I didn't really want to explain the whole I got screwed over twice thing either though.

"Leah I'll just make it easier on you and take Nessie. I'll leave Jake a note. Really, you need your sleep and I'm not waiting around to watch you insult and suffer at the same time. I'd be dead my morning."

I laughed at that and told her thanks. So Kim left and I almost had Embry's house to myself. Weird. It was basically empty not including Seth. I was alone, but that's nothing new. I've always been alone even when I'm not.

I decided to just crash on the couch, it was less time consuming than walking upstairs to the guestroom. Then I started to think, about the leeches, Jacob, and just everything else.

It started to rain and I drifted off into sleep. It's funny though, no matter how much time I sleep for, it still isn't enough.

As I walked to Embry's kitchen, I almost tripped over three bodies sprawled out across the living room floor. They must've been pretty tired since not one of them woke up when I smashed pots together over their faces.

I threw the pots onto the counter and opened the bag of doughnuts Jake had brought over from the night before and started eating away.

There was only nine so I ate them all. Jacob did say they were for me after all.

As I ate the last doughnut I stared into a microwave's reflection feeling like the princess of emoland. I looked and felt awful, but oh well what the hell, the guys had seen worse.

I ducked down to put the pots back under the counters and then turned around to head up to the guest room but as I did I ran into Jacob's most noticeably six point five pack of abs. It looked like a dirt racing track if you know what I mean.

"Oh shit, I was trying to scare you." He said taking a step back to look at me.

"Ahhhhh. Boy did you get me good." I replied with a fake scream.

"Gee Leah; I almost didn't catch your sarcasm there."

"Well I'm glad to know that you're still smarter than a fifth grader Black." I said with my witty remark.

He laughed a little and then looked at me, and I mean really looked at me, with his serious soft brown colored eyes. Then he took a step forward and spoke.

"Leah… you know, you know that we'll do everything in our power to protect you right? You're part of the pact and a great friend so…why…why do you always have to make life complicated?"

Jacob stepped even closer so that my head was just below his chin.

"It's like you're just going to throw yourself out there like a chew toy for the Volturi but what about the impact it will have on everyone else huh? Don't you see why we can't let you do that to yourself? No matter whom you hate or who hates you, we will always fight for your life."

I know I didn't deserve what they were going to do for me but I still respect the thought.

"Jacob, we had this talk. I'm just protecting your lives as your protecting mine. No matter who it would be in this kind of situation, they would do the same thing. Wouldn't you agree?" I asked watching his ever movement and emotion than ran along his face.

He knew I was right but still wanted me to holdout.

"What about me? Or Seth? Quil, Embry? There's absolutely no way in hell we're ever going to let that happen."

"Jake, I'm just as responsible for your lives as you are for mine."

"I don't want to see you get hurt Leah."

"I don't want to see you getting hurt."

We glared at each other for a couple of seconds before Jacob spoke again.

"Please, be extremely careful then. I mean we'll do all that we can but if you could not attack the Volturi it would be easier."

"I don't know Jake; the chances of that happening are pretty slim."

"Please Leah. I can't-"

He paused and held his hand up in mid air. Then all of a sudden multiple emotions ran across his face. First it was soft and caring, then disgusted and annoyed, and finally confusion. I don't know what they hell he'd been thinking about but it seemed as though he was trying to talk himself in or out of something.

When he backed me up and cornered me, I felt slightly panicked. Not because he was dangerous but because we might do something he'll regret later.

Then Jacob cupped my chin and pulled me closer to his face. He took a quick glance at my lips and then back into my eyes.

I didn't get his guy one bit. One day he was like no, no, I have Nessie, this isn't right and I'm so sorry and now today it's like he's gone bipolar. What the hell was he thinking? It felt like a dream in which I would wake up any minute now and notice that my hopes once again would be crushed, but this was real.

As hard as it was for me to say this, I had to.

"Jake I-"

"Hold on, just let me try something." He whispered. He leaned in closer until his lips finally brushed mine.

Leah, what the hell is going on? I asked myself.

"OOOH! You naughty naughty children!" Fuck you Quil. He busted through the kitchen yelling with a high pitched girly voice.

Jacob was frozen still over me so I ducked under his arms and got out of the way.

Then Embry came in yawning like a moron.

"Hey Leah, you have a little something, something on your shirt." He pointed down to my collar and it being ten in the morning felt like five in the morning so not clearly thinking, I looked down. Embry took his chance to flick my noise.

"You're dead punk!" I yelled. As I tried to get a hold of him, Quil turned away from the fridge and held me back.

"Let me go or you'll be sorry."

Quil and Embry exchanged glances and then bursted out laughing. As Quil loosened his grip on me, I gave a punch right to his sack of balls. Oh, yeah. That felt good.

As he kneeled to the ground in pain I looked towards Embry and watch his face fall.

"Oh fuck." With that, he bolted upstairs and I chased after him waking up a screaming Seth because I stepped on his hand.

"Sorry!"

I ran upstairs to Embry's room where he would be hiding out and ran through the door. Right as I did though, Embry took a hold of me, shut the door and then locked it. Only then did he release me.

"So how'd it go?" He asked with the "I know everything that just happened" look.

"How did what go?" I bluffed anyways.

"Don't fuck with me Leah, Quil and I saw you guys from the start. Sorry but your shit outta luck buddy."

Fuck my life.

Embry crossed his arms and then sighed. "Too bad Jake has to deal with it now. Mixed emotions can be a problem."

"Since when did you turn into Dr. Phil?"

"Since Oprah's show got cancelled." He joked back.

"But Embry, I didn't want to-Jake shouldn't-" I didn't want to cause Jake pain. He has his imprint and that how the werewolf life works. I just can't get used to it.

"Leah are you kidding me? Breaking the imprint will be the damnest thing I will have ever seen or remember. That would be fucking awesome, it would give others hope you know? Like they don't just have one option."

Why Embry was so Hurrah for Jake and I was because he hated Nessie just as much as I did. He puts on a show though for Jake but in reality it's different.

"Besides, you and Jacob look more appropriate." He patted down on my shoulder and took this chance to tackle him onto the bed. We wrestled each other for a few minutes trying to pin one another down until the phone rang. I was winning up until then.

"Hello?"

Embry was still trying to break a hold of my grip.

"Give me it! It's my phone!" He grumbled.

Because fate loves to fuck with me and because I just love to run on no luck, the little pipsqueak said "Leah? It's Alice. They're coming."

Son of a bitc-

hahahahahahahahaha…..hahahahahahaha….sorry? Took long enough huh? Get this though, I would have uploaded this story four hours sooner but as I saved the first draft of this it didn't really save because I opened it up from e-mail. So it deleting my good four hours of work and I had to start over. This version seems suckier but the other one is long gone. I was almost in tears, Sorry again.
