Chapter 3! Yay! Only one more chapter after this!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters from the Twilight Saga or any of the songs I use. Can I own Jacob Black for Christmas though?

XXXXX- Scene Change

Previously…

"Merry Christmas Eve."

"Stick it in your juice box and suck it Clearwater," Renesmee remarked before turning the corner and leaving Leah alone.

The brunette sighed as she glanced around the living room.

She was right. Nothing had changed.

Now…

Leah loved hot showers. The steam and hot water relaxed her and cleansed her thoughts as well as her body. It was her time alone, away from the world and away from the drama that seemed to follow her everywhere she went. A small smile tugged at her pink lips as she ran the yellow washcloth down her body. She could forget that she was in Embry's house, her actions with Jacob Black, and most of all; she could forget the 'angel' downstairs that could do no wrong.

The small smile immediately left Leah's face. Her hand throbbed to punch the shower wall.

I hate that good-for-nothing, little bloodsucker.

Leah then nearly jumped five feet in the air as cold water hit her. Leah twisted the knob all the way to the left for hot water, but the temperature of the ice-cool water never changed. Grinding her teeth together, Leah quickly finished her shower before twisting the water off.

Wrapping an orange towel around her body, Leah opened the bathroom door. Her hair was still dripping wet when she stepped into the hallway. She was on her way to her room when she heard giggling. Turning her head to the left, Leah spotted Renesmee holding two of Jacob's sweaters. Jacob was out of sight; Leah guessed he was probably in his bathroom.

"I can't decide which one Jakey. They would both look wonderful on you," Renesmee complimented, not bothering to look at Leah yet although she knew the brunette was standing in the hallway.

"Why did I ever agree to this? Just pick one already Ness," Leah heard Jacob call. Renesmee frowned before turning to look at Leah.

"Which one do you like?" Renesmee asked, her voice sweet as she lifted a forest green sweatshirt and a cobalt blue one. Leah lifted an eyebrow at her act.

"…I guess the green one, you know, for Christmas," Leah answered. Renesmee nodded.

"I think the cobalt blue one is the winner!" Renesmee yelled happily as she placed the forest green sweatshirt back in the closet. Jacob then appeared, placing his undershirt over his head and tugging it down to cover his bare, well-built chest.

He glanced over at Leah, a playful smile on his face as he tugged his belt around his hips, "What's got you all wet?" (A/N: a term for saying "what's wrong?")

"Very funny, but next time you take a shower Jakey, try to save some hot water."

"I was out of the shower Lee-Lee an hour ago."

How dare he call me the nickname Sam gave me.

Leah was about to respond but stopped when she heard another obnoxious giggle.

"Oops. I ran the dishwasher and cleaned Jakey's clothes the same time you were in the shower. I forgot you had to take one," Renesmee lied. Leah glared at her.

"I know it might be impossible but next time, can you try to use your brain and be a bit more considerate?" Leah retorted.

Renesmee's eyes instantly became glossy as a sob escaped her lips. Jacob sighed as he pulled Renesmee to him for comfort.

"Follow your own advice Leah," Jacob said.

The guy is brainwashed by the twit!

The girl shape shifter just shook her head as she walked into her room and slammed the door behind her.

XXXXX

"Follow your own advice Leah," Leah mocked in a deep voice, rolling her hazel eyes as she twisted her lip gloss closed, "Fine. I'll use my head and not make the mistake of sleeping with you again."

Leah sat on her bed, her long-sleeved red dress riding up a bit as she did so. Her black, fur boots stopped mid-calf and kept her feet warm and comfortable. She ran a hand through her slightly curled brown hair as she switched her left leg to cross and rest on her right one.

That wasn't a mistake. It was everything but a mistake.

Knock. Knock.

"Come in," Leah said, glancing over her shoulder. She smiled and got up when she saw Christine. Christine ran over to her best friend and embraced her.

"Leah!" Christine squealed excitedly before stepping out of the tight hug. Christine whistled as she glanced at Leah, "Girl, you get hotter as the years go by!"

Leah 'pff'ed, "If that was true, I would be fighting off guys as we speak. How are you?"

"I'm great now that you're here. That half-breed vampire girl has flipped this place upside down. Thank goodness someone's here now to set her straight."

Leah shook her head as she sprayed perfume on herself.

"You know Jacob becomes this big softie when she's around," Christine heard the hint of sadness in Leah's voice.

"I wasn't talking about Jacob, I was talking about you," Christine corrected. Leah laughed at her words.

"Yeah I tried doing that, but Jacob ended up getting all pissy because I hurt the leech's feelings."

"Well you still have the rest of the day today," Christine suggested and then showed her pearly whites, "and tomorrow."

"Oh no. I'm avoiding her as much as I possibly can," Leah argued, placing her gold charm bracelet on her wrist. Leah smiled sadly as she glanced at it. The charm bracelet was the last gift her father had given her before he died.

"Ummm…"

Leah turned to see her best friend with her hands behind her back as she rocked back and forth on her toes. It was obvious that Christine was nervous.

"What is it?" Leah questioned.

"Embry assigned you three to go pick up the Secret Santa present from the mall," Leah's eyes narrowed at Christine's explanation. Her face grew slightly red as she took a threatening step forward.

"Excuse me?"

"Well originally, it was just Jacob and you. Embry had left the present under your name and knew you would probably need Jacob's help carrying it. Then Renesmee insisted that she just had to go. The girl nearly threw a tantrum when Embry tried to tell her no."

"I can carry the damn present myself. They can both stay here and cuddle up by the fire," Leah opened her bedroom door and walked down the hallway after she finished getting ready, "or whatever the fuck they do together during Christmas time."

"Leah- hold on-" Christine called, two steps behind Leah as the brunette waltzed down the stairs. Her lip twitched when she saw Jacob and Renesmee standing at the end of the staircase. Renesmee's arms were wrapped around Jacob's right arm. She was dressed in a long-sleeved white dress with white boots that seemed to be made out of feathers. Her curly brown hair was up in a ponytail.

"Ready to go?" Renesmee asked happily, her eyes closing as she tilted her head to the side with a smile on her face. Jacob looked speechless at Leah's presence.

"You aren't going," When Leah saw Renesmee open her mouth to disagree, she continued, "Neither is Jacob."

This seemed to shake Jacob out of his spell, "Leah, don't be hot-headed. We're all going."

"Fine. I'll go in the car Embry lends me, and you and Nessie go in your truck."

"Why do you hate me Leah? I've been nothing but nice-"

Jacob interrupted Renesmee, which caused Leah to smile a bit, "Quil is borrowing my truck to pick up Claire. All we have is that car."

Leah looked over her shoulder at Christine before turning back towards Jacob, "Then Christine is coming with us also."

Christine shook her head, "Leah, I can't. I have to stay here to help Emily with the cooking."

Leah grabbed Christine's hand and walked back upstairs for privacy, "Chris, you can't leave me alone with those two."

"I'm sorry Leah. Believe me, I rather be shopping with you then slaving over a hot stove all day," Christine apologized, placing her hand on Leah's shoulder and giving it a squeeze, "Like I said you're a strong gal. You survived a snowstorm, you can survive this-"

"About that snowstorm-"

"Le-ah!" Renesmee sing-songed, "Let's get going before all the wonderful shops close!"

Leah looked at her friend with wide eyes as she pointed down the steps, "See what I have to put up with!"

Christine bit down on her lip, giving her friend another squeeze before letting go, "Good luck."

Leah let out a sigh of annoyance as she walked back down the stairs. She didn't bother glancing at Renesmee or Jacob as she opened the door, "I'm driving."

"Jakey, please, just two more stores before we go pick up the present?" Renesmee begged, placing her pale hands on top of Jacob's right tan one as she stared up at him with huge brown eyes. Jacob laughed as he ruffled the hair on top of her head.

"Didn't you say that about the last five stores?"

Renesmee stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek, "Please?"

Leah had the urge to throw up right then and there by all the doses of sugar Renesmee was feeding him.

"Only two more," Jacob confirmed before looking at Leah. His perfect, white teeth formed a smile that made Leah's heart melt, "Want to come along?"

Leah studied the death glare Renesmee was giving her; this, of course, was unseen by Jacob.

That expression clearly says 'Stay or die.'

Leah patted the empty, wooden, Christmas-decorated bench beside her, "I think I'll pass and rest for a few."

Jacob slightly frowned, "Ah come on Le-"

"Jacob, she said no. We should respect Leah's wishes," Renesmee interrupted.

"Well, Nessie and I will be in Aeropostale if you change your mind," Jacob added. Leah watched as Jacob turned around and walked into the busy store with his imprint. Leah tried to hide the small smirk that crept onto her face when the sales lady nearly attacked the two with marked-down perfume.

Nessie will always have Jacob. I should be grateful for the one night I was able to have Jacob as my own, but now that I had him, I only want him more.

Leah tilted her head back and closed her eyes, deeply in thought. The mall's Christmas music played in the background as the voices and heavy footsteps around her drowned out.

How pathetic is this? But really, can I blame myself? It's hard to see everyone in love walking with their significant other hand-in-hand, kissing and laughing. And here I am, alone. I always was and it seems I will always be.

Last night I took a walk in the snow

Couples holding hands places to go

Seems like everyone but me is in love

Santa can you hear me?

"Excus- Excuse me-me miss?" Leah opened an eyelid to see a little Korean girl touching her hand, "Miss?"

Leah, who's hazel eyes were now fully open, leaned forward so that she was eye-level with the little girl, who appeared to be no older than six. She had straight black hair that fell down to her shoulders, big brown eyes, and she was dressed in a pink jumpsuit. Leah smiled at her.

"What's the matter?" Leah asked kindly. The little Korean girl pointed towards Santa's house.

"My name is Corrine and my older brother, David, took me to the mall today to see Santa. Well my older brother met up with some friends and gave me money to see Santa alone. I went to go stand in line, but one of Santa's elves told me I needed a grown up with me."

"Hi Corrine, I'm Leah. Now, do you want me to try to help you find your older brother?" Leah asked, standing up and glancing around the mall to spot a Korean teen that looked like Corrine.

"No. He won't stand in line for me, I already know. Will you?" Corrine looked up at Leah with big, puppy dog eyes, "Please?"

Aw… well normally, I don't fall for that puppy dog eye crap, but since I don't have anything else to do...

"Let's go," Leah said. The little girl flung her chubby arms around Leah's hips. She had a big, bright smile on her face. Leah tried not to follow her instinct to step out of the hug.

"Oh thank you! Thank you!" The little girl yelled before stepping out of the hug and grabbing Leah's hand. The girl nearly ran to Santa's house and Leah nearly ran into thousands of last-minute shoppers. The tall brunette gave each grumpy shopper an apologetic look.

Corrine hurried into Santa's line, although there were only two other kids in front of her. A majority of the children in Port Angelas had already seen Santa before Christmas Eve, so Santa barely had any customers today. Leah raised an eyebrow at how muscular and in shape the hired Santa Claus was.

I thought Santa was suppose to be this old, fat guy.

Hm. At least he still wore Santa's famous spectacles.

Leah watched Corrine pull out her Christmas list before making her way over to Santa Claus. The previous kid, a nine year old boy, was crying because Santa could not provide him with a 2009 blue BMW for Christmas.

"HOHOHO! Who is the name of this pretty, little girl in my lap?" Leah heard Santa ask. Leah crossed her arms over her chest, glancing at Aeropostale as Corrine happily told Santa what she wanted for Christmas. Leah spotted Jacob and Renesmee leaving the store. Jacob was laughing as he placed a fur hat on top of the half-breed's head.

Leah's heart swelled.

Goodness, I can smell her stench from here.

"But most of all, Santa, I want my daddy to get the job he applied for," Corrine told Santa, her little hand on top of his as she peered into his eyes. Santa gave Corrine a rough pat on the back and the little girl almost fell over from the impact.

"Hohoho! Santa promises to work on getting that wish granted! Have a Merry Christmas Corrine!" Corrine smiled before getting off Santa's lap and walking away.

"Hohoho! Who's next?" Santa's eyes nearly twinkled with delight when he spotted Leah, "Ah, the pretty lady in the red dress I see."

Leah glanced behind her, although she knew no one was there. Turning back around to face Santa, the shape shifter pointed to herself and saw Santa nod.

"Oh, no thanks Santa. I was here for Corrine," Leah stated as she started walking towards the exit.

"Hohoho! Santa wants to hear everyone's Christmas wishes!" Leah gave Santa an apologetic look before taking the exit.

Well at least, before trying to take the exit. Two chubby arms blocked Leah from exiting and Leah glanced down to see Corrine with a huge grin on her face.

"Go see Santa, Leah!" Leah took a step forward but Corrine refused to let her through, "Please?"

Now I see why this crap works on Jacob when Renesmee does it.

Leah sighed as she strolled over to Santa, "I want a motorcycle."

Leah turned, heading back towards the exit but saw Corrine with her arms crossed over her chest, "Nuh uh. You have to do it like I did it."

"Hohoho! Come sit on Santa's lap Leah," Santa patted his brawny knee. Leah let out a colorful word before ambling back over to Santa and taking a seat on his lap.

"Hello Santa."

"My my Leah. You appear to be on Santa's naughty list this year," Santa's fat body suit jiggled as he laughed, "Are you sure you want to tell me what you want for Christmas, because it looks like you're getting a lump of coal."

Leah frowned at Santa's teasing words.

"I never wanted to tell you in the first place," She remarked bitterly, running a hand through her brown hair. Santa 'hohoho'ed.

"Santa is only joshing you. Now Leah, tell me what you really want for Christmas."

Leah grew quiet, tilting her head downwards with a sad expression on her face. Santa placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. Corrine's bright smile died at Leah's silence and the lively mall seemed to grow quieter.

Leah knew what she wanted…

And even Santa couldn't grant her that wish. Leah smiled sadly as she glanced back at Santa.

"Do you really want to know Santa?" Leah asked in a whisper.

Santa nodded and Leah decided to be honest.

"I want Jacob Black for Christmas."

"HOHOHO! Leah wants Black for Christmas?! Hohoho! I can't believe this!" Santa chanted. Leah's hazel eyes set into a glare as she pulled at Santa's beard (she did this at a time Corrine wasn't looking). Leah caught a glimpse of the man's face before snapping the beard back in place.

"Emmett?!" Leah whispered, her voice high with embarrassment as she covered her face in her hands, "Oh nooooo."

"You would be granting Edward a Christmas wish if you took Jacob away for a bit," Emmett replied, a coy smirk hidden behind the white beard, "The guy has been over too much."

"Renesmee's been over too much," Leah shot back.

"I'm not surprised, Jacob and her are best friends. "

"No Emmett, they're a couple," Leah corrected and Emmett saw Leah's shoulders tense.

"No Ms. Green Monster, they're just friends. Renesmee is interested in the other half-vampire, Nahuel. He's coming down in two days to see her."

Renesemee's previous 'words' replayed in Leah's head.

"Back off my man, you bitch."

How in the hell did that not imply that she liked Jacob? If Renesmee really didn't like Jacob like Emmett stated, the leech was then really good at playing the game and tagging Jacob along on her little escapade.

Leah nearly growled right then and there. She did not appreciate Renesmee messing with Jacob's feelings.

Emmett noticed the pissed off expression on Leah's face.

"Before you go and attack my niece, which would be a really stupid mistake on your part, you should know that Jacob isn't interested in her either," Emmett said before murmuring, "I thought that would be obvious by how much you hang out with the horse-sized wolf. He just wants Renesmee to be happy."

Emmett's words went in one ear and out the other for Leah. How could she believe that? Imprinting was always the matchmaker. To put it in the perspective that it just caused a close friendship this time around seemed like complete bullshit.

Leah gave Emmett a light punch in the shoulder before getting off his lap.

"Mommy! Mommy! Did you see that? That girl punched Santa Claus!" Leah heard a little boy yell. Leah tried not to laugh.

"Thanks for the talk Santa. If you mention this conversation to anyone, I swear I'll slaughter you to bits," Leah promised, a threatening grin on her face before exiting Santa's house. Corrine wasn't anywhere in sight and Leah supposed that the little girl met back up with her brother. The chorus of Joan Jett's 'I love Rock n Roll' came to life as her purse vibrated. Leah grabbed her cell phone from inside her purse and looked down at the screen.

Leah saw that the incoming call was Jacob. Leah hit the talk button and pressed the phone to her ear, "Yeah?"

"Nessie's at the car," Jacob said simply.

"And I care why?" Leah remarked, although she knew what he meant. She heard Jacob sigh on the other end of the phone.

"Leah, I know you're not Nessie's biggest fan, but can you please try getting along with her for once?" Jacob asked, a hint of pleading in his tone.

"I hope you're not making me out to be the bad guy Jacob," Leah stated, deciding to be nice and let Renesmee in the car. She pushed the mall's exiting glass doors open and the cold air instantly surrounded her.

"Renesmee is just more sensitive than you are, she takes everything to heart."

She has a heart?

And just because I don't wear my heart on my sleeve, it doesn't mean I don't bruise easily. Leah thought, a frown sweeping across her face.

"Anyway, I'm over at Sears. Pick me up when you get the car. I'll see you later," Jacob said. Leah could hear the Sales Representative talking to him in the background before he hung up. Leah closed her phone and stuck it back inside her purse. She glanced back up and saw Renesmee standing by the car with five shopping bags in each hand.

Try to be nice.

Leah didn't say anything as she popped the trunk for the vampire. Renesmee practically tripped over her feet as she placed the bags into the trunk. She then shut the trunk and glanced over at Leah, who had a discontent look on her face.

"I can't wait for you to listen to the new Celine Dion CD I bought!" Renesmee said happily. Leah didn't say anything in response as she unlocked the doors and got in. Renesmee started unwrapping her CD as Leah placed her seatbelt around her.

"Renesmee, I'm not in a 'my heart will go on' mood. Can we just listen to the radio?" Leah suggested as she twisted the keys in the ignition.

"I just bought the CD, I really want to listen to it Leah," Renesmee argued, a pout forming on her lips.

Leah narrowed her eyes, trying to calm the anger boiling in her veins, "I'm sorry. You can listen to it as soon as we get home."

Renesmee ignored Leah and pushed the CD into the CD player. Leah's finger hit the eject button and she grabbed the new CD before Renesmee was able to.

"Do that again and I promise the CD will be out the window," Leah stated before placing the CD back into Renesmee's hands. Renesmee stomped her foot.

"You're such a bitch! Literally and figuratively!" Renesmee screamed. Leah resisted punching the girl in the face, "I wish Jacob hated you like everyone else does!"

"And I wish Jacob would take his belt and strangle you to death, but I guess we don't always get what we want," Leah replied, hiding the hurt from Renesmee's mean comment.

"I guess we don't or you would've died in the snowstorm," Renesmee remarked as they pulled up in front of Sears, "To bad that Christmas wish was never granted. Jacob and everyone else would've been so thrilled."

That hit home.

Leah turned to glance out the window, blinking away the blurry vision her eyes gave her. Renesmee smirked as the back door opened. The Secret Santa present took up half the back seat. Leah heard the back door shut and the passenger door open. She refused to look at Jacob.

"Out munchkin, I get the front," Leah heard Jacob tell Renesmee.

"Alright Mr. Long Legs," Renesmee got out of the car and Leah stared forward. She could feel Jacob's eyes on her face. Her face wasn't wet or anything, but she knew he could sense that something was wrong.

"It's nothing important," Leah said before Jacob could open his mouth. Renesmee got into the back seat and handed her Celine Dion CD to Jacob.

"Can you put this in for me Jakey?" Renesmee asked sweetly. Jacob shrugged, placing the CD in the CD player before turning back to Leah with a dark, lifted eyebrow.

Leah didn't say anything as Jacob continued to stare at her and as Celine Dion played in the background.

It was game over for now.

XXXXX

This wasn't Leah Clearwater. She wasn't being herself. Since when did she let a Cullen win a fight and make her feel like total shit? When did she start caring if someone wished her dead? Leah always figured love brought out the worst in people. It brought out jealously, sensitivity, and emotions that were so raw and new that Leah couldn't handle it.

Wait. Hold on. Did she just say love? Leah Clearwater was not in love. And if pigs flew and she was in love, who would her love interest be? Jacob Black? The thought made her laugh out loud. Her, Leah, in love with Jacob? Ha Ha Ha.

Her heart did another flip.

"Shit," Leah moaned, taking the light green pillow beside her and pressing it to her face. This couldn't be happening. Too much was happening at one time and the shape shifter couldn't handle it. The bipolar half-breed, Christmas, and now realizing that she was potentially in love with Jacob? It was too much and too unexpected- well almost too unexpected.

But love was always unforeseen and it always crept up at the most inappropriate time.

Yeah, talk about bad timing. The guy had already imprinted on the half-breed. Leah didn't stand a hell's chance. So she could just keep the unwanted realization to herself and secretly wallow over the fact that she would never have the man she wanted.

This was twice in her life, and like she said, she couldn't handle it. She could barely handle it the first time around. So she would stuff the information in the back of her mind and deep in her heart, and the deal would be done.

Leah glanced over at her bedroom door when she heard the handle turn and saw her best friend in the doorway. Christine shut the door and before the raven haired beauty could open her mouth, her best friend stood up and grabbed her shoulders.

"Chris, I'm in love with Jacob."

Well- there goes keeping it to herself. But, as previously stated, it was too much to handle.

"Yeah?" Christine rose an eyebrow at her friend's weird behavior. Leah gave her a confused look back.

"What do you mean 'yeah'?"

"I thought this was already established," Christine answered, wiping the flour off her apron. Leah gaped at her, "Anyway, don't worry Leah- I know and my lips are sealed. So, what are you going to do about it?"

Leah 'pff'ted, "Nothing. It's not like I can do anything anyway. It's all just….," The brunette shrugged, "useless."

"It's not useless. Geez, what has happened to the Leah Clearwater I know? The proud, strong girl who wasn't afraid of speaking her mind and acting on impulse?"

"She feel in love?" Leah guessed, although she knew that was a pathetic answer.

"No. She got intimidated by a half-breed vampire," Leah started shaking her head, ready to object, but Christine held a finger up, "The girl has you wrapped around her little finger. She's keeping you from Jacob because you're a threat. The part I can't believe is that you're letting her do this."

"She's his freaking imprint Chris! Want in the hell am I suppose to do? Kill her?" Leah suggested sarcastically, her back to her best friend as she watched Renesmee holding Jacob from outside her window. Jacob also had his strong arm wrapped around her shoulders and he was pointing to the dark, starry night.

Leah felt Christine's hand on her shoulder but didn't bother to turn around when her best friend started speaking, "You play the game, Clearwater. You play the game and win the prize."

"Jacob isn't a prize-"

"You know what I mean," Leah heard her best friend retreating back towards the door, "and here's your first strategy tip: Renesmee wants to make this a 'very special' Christmas so everyone is required to dress nice for dinner."

The door then shut and after a moment, it reopened, "Oh, and the Leah I know doesn't strike out. Make me proud."

The door shut again and Leah couldn't help the little smirk that spread across her face.

The table was full of food and full of people. The food was so mouth-watering that some guests were already seated at the table, waiting the moment they could fill their plates. The table was set nicely, all the proper necessities for a fancy table at each seat besides one. This one empty place belonged to Renesmee, who would have her Christmas feast when she arrived home the following evening.

Emily finished placing the hot rolls in a basket as Claire sang happily to the karaoke mix of Hannah Montana's 'Best of Both Worlds.' Seth pressed his cheek against the palm on his hand, leaning forward as he watched the lyrics of the song flash across the t.v. screen.

"Quil, this game will have the worst of both worlds if this song is replayed one more time," Seth threatened, his usual happy demeanor gone since he was irritated with the catchy song. Quil laughed, shaking his hips to the beat of the music.

"Ah come on Seth, you know you love it as much as Claire. 'Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both words!'" Quil sung happily along with Claire, who beamed up at him with an almost toothless grin.

"Nah," Embry joked, "Seth is more of a 'Camp Rock' fan. He secretly wants to be Joe Jonas so he can score that Demi girl, huh Seth?"

Seth smiled, now placing his hands behind his head as he leaned back, "Well, I wouldn't mind…."

"Okay everybody! Dinner's ready!" Emily called right when Jacob and Renesmee walked back into the house. Hannah Montana and the starry night were easily forgotten as everybody sat down at the dinner table. When everybody was settled down and in their correct seat, Renesmee stood up to make her very merry Chirstmas speech.

"Hold on," Jacob said before Renesmee could open her mouth. His brown eyes scanned the table before landing on Seth, "Where's your sister?"

"You know she's always comes down late. She likes to make her entrance-" Seth cut off when a sudden blaring of music started to play. The music was so loud that the walls nearly vibrated and the pictures on the walls slightly shook.

"What in the world…" Renesmee murmured.

Christine smirked. Her best friend was always on cue.

I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (nope)
I've got a brand new attitude,
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight

Na na na na na
I wanna start a fight
Na na na na na
I wanna start a fight

Jaws dropped and Paul nearly had a heart attack when Leah Clearwater made her entrance. Jared let out a howl of excitement, Billy Black couldn't help but grin, and his son felt his breath hitch. Renesmee turned towards the door's entrance and fumed at the sight before her.

Leah was dressed in a pair of black leather pants and a tight red tank top that cut off right before her belly button, exposing her skull belly button ring that had two small red rubies as eyes. Her shiny, red knee-high boots accessorized with the red and black bracelets dangling loosely from her arms. Silver skull earrings hung from her ears and twinkled in the light. Her makeup was dark and heavy but it fit the look that she was going for.

And what look was that per say? It was the badass, 'I'm going to kick the leeches ass back to her blood sucker family' look.

Leah took the black sunglasses off her face and threw them over to the living room, where they landed on the couch, "Has grace been said yet?"

Christine smiled as her best friend took her seat beside her. Leah sat at the polar opposite end that Renesmee sat at, but the tension was just as high as it would have been if the duo were seated next to each other.

"Nope. Renesmee was just about to make her Christmas Eve speech," Christine informed, hiding the smirk that wanted to play across her face.

"Joy," Leah said sarcastically, bringing the red wine to her lips and taking a sip. Renesmee's narrowed eyes sent daggers at the brunette as the glass in her hand almost smashed to pieces.

"You're suppose to wait after the speech to drin-," Renesmee started to say but Leah interrupted.

"Nice choice of wine Emily. What year is this?" Leah asked sweetly, although she was not at all interested in the information.

Emily nervously tucked a piece of hair behind her ear as Sam shook his head.

"Leah, I would really appreciate it if you would let Renesmee make her speech," Sam said, glancing at his ex girlfriend.

Leah looked at the ceiling for a moment, as if considering Sam's request, before looking at her previous Alpha, "and why should I consider your feelings, Sam? I mean, you never considered mine."

"Everyone please drop the topic and let's just say grace," Seth requested from his older sister.

"Why should this blood sucker even say our grace? She's not even eating and the food would be more cursed then blessed if she says the grace," Leah remarked, leaning back in her chair and placing her boots on the green table cloth.

"I should bless the food because I won't ruin Christmas for everyone," Renesmee glared before smirking, "like you would."

Leah felt her teeth grind against each other, "What did you say?"

"Leah, Renesmee- stop," Jacob ordered.

"I said you would ruin Christmas. You ruin everything else. Like your relationships, for example… no wonder why Sam and Jacob imprinted," Renesmee spat. Everyone else's eyes casted over towards the other side of the table, where a fuming Leah stood up…

And that's when all hell broke loose.
