Leah's Pov.

They didn't talk long, well that was a lie from what I could tell they didn't talk at all. Alice seemed to have said a few words and every now and then she would look at me, but other than that it was just the pixie talking as well as Bella's ex-leech. I had been so engrossed in watching them that I hadn't even noticed that Emily had sat down beside me.

"If I didn't know you were dating Jake I would say you were in love with Bella." she said. Her voice startled me and I jumped back on reflex my arm hitting the rock solid table I sat on.

My sudden yelp had gotten the attention of not only Jake but also Bella. I gave a nod to Jake and mouthed I'm okay before my eyes flickered over to Bella's. Our eyes only locked briefly before I saw her turn back around to stare at the ground in front of her, a little hesitation in her movement. I turned back to a Emily who was giving me a shy smile.

"God a fuckin warning would have been good Em." I said with a smile that was only slightly strained.

I had long since forgiven Emily and Sam for breaking my back, but that wasn't to say there still wasn't some pain at the memory. It wasn't everyday you break up with you boyfriend who is secretly a werewolf and then he gets together with you fucking cousin! I took deep breaths trying to calm my boiling anger. This was my own fault, Emily had no control over this and neither did Sam. Matter a fact neither of the two were my problem at the moment.

"Sorry" she mumbled and then looked over her shoulder towards Jake who was no doubt staring at me like a hurt puppy,"So trouble in paradise I take it."

I laughed, "Oh this isn't paradise, paradise is on a sandy beach far away from here with just me and my imprint sipping on a margarita and then having midnight activities."

"Of course," she manage through laughs it brought a smile to my face, this time a real one, "But no really what's the problem between you and Jake."

"Usually you would be starving for the attention he's giving to you right now but your not even giving him the time of day, which just so happens to be close to midnight."

"I'm just not in the mood today Em."

"Your never in the mood to do anything lately Leah," she whispered, and I gave a sigh as her hand ran through my hair. It had been some times since she had done that, three years if I think about it. Just before Sam stole her from me.

"What's the matter. Your all depressed, you haven't even taken a bite of your food." she poked the hamburger in front of me and her face scrunched up in disgust,"And your staring off into space like you just lost the love of your life."

"Em please I just want be left alone, and tell Jake to stop staring he's not helping himself more than he is me."

She nodded her head though he eyes told me that holding it all in wasn't good. She gave me a hug and then a kiss on the forehead before delivering my message to Jake and them going to sit next to Sam. I lade my chin back into my hand and then waited for Charlie to say it's time to go. My waiting and boredom had been interrupted by my phone vibrating.

I flipped it open and quickly read through it.

Sorry we didn't tell you, me and Charlie left early. I saw Bella, see if she'll give you a ride back.

-S

God was my life even worth living now. I stood from my chair and walked over to Bella who still sat staring at the ground. At least she had taken the time to come.


Bella's Pov.

If there was one thing that I loved about becoming a werewolf was that I had fast healing. The cast on my leg had been removed and I was free to walk around like a normal person...or as normal as I could get. It had been a last minute decision to come to the bonfire, but it was all thanks to Caremon and Peter who had so playfully kicked me out of the house.

We had gone shopping recently too, getting me new clothing that would feet better than my last ones now. I had grown another few inches putting me just at eye to eye level with Sam and taller than Jacob. Much to Caremon's displeasure I was wearing a pair of grey Jordan, black sweats, and a black wife beater. My tattoos where hidden well though I'm sure if I had picked my white top it would have been as visible as the sun.

With my enhanced hearing I managed to pick up the sound soft footfalls, I played it cool. Finally they came to a stop and I turned and the frown on my face deepened. Leah stood stiff like stone behind me, like she would have chosen to rather walk around the world three times than be here, I couldn't agree more. It seemed that even though I had decided I was going to let her live her life, Aphrodite refused to let me have the peace of a lonely life.

"Mom and Charlie left early and told me to ask you if I could have a ride?" she said.

I leaned back on the log as far as I could without falling off, my eyes stared out into the horizon that met the water, but continued to go on for endless miles. Finally after some thinking I looked up at Leah and frowned even more, she was as beautiful as ever.

"Can't Jacob give you a ride back home?" I asked.

She shook her head and then I saw it into her eyes, the pain, "We're in a fragile relationship right now, I don't think riding with him would help much."

I wanted to laugh, she was turning down a chance to fix something with her own boyfriend when in fact she had turned me down, as well to make something great. What runs through her head at times. Does she understand that we are real people with real feelings? That we can feel pain, as well as heartbreak? But nonetheless I would do as she asked, put my self through more pain than was dished out to me.

"Okay give me a few minutes and we can leave." I replied calmly.

My training with Caremon and the others was really doing wonders for me. Though I won't lie Lucy had been right they could get a little rough at times. My training schedule was really simple though. First I would have some meditation with Caremon; despite her energetic personality she could be quite mellow at times, Second I would have power training with David, Thirdly I would learn Werewolf culture from Peter, and then finally since I had started hunting with Lucy before, she taught me the rules and the do's and don't about hunting and fighting.

My special werewolf ability had yet to make an appearance, but David said I couldn't force it out. I was still young and they were still developing so he says, really I just think I'm a powerless werewolf. He told me his had made themselves known when he was around 18, which was late for werewolves. That means mine were really late, but supposedly I also started phasing late to so maybe everything was delayed with me.

I stood and turned around to find that Leah was already walking to my car. I shook my head, today had been good, but tonight was going to be a long depressing few hours. Before I could reach my car I was stopped by the arm. What was with people and touching me! I ripped my arm from the persons grasp and turned around on them, it was Jacob. My life can't get anymore worse can it.

His hands were up in surrender, but I could see the burning fire of anger in his eyes. He looked over my shoulder and I turned to follow his line of sight. He was staring at Leah who was sitting on the hood of my car. She was hugging her feet tightly to her chest and was staring blankly into space. I turned back to Jacob and we had a stare down, our jaws locked tightly.

Finally he broke under my intense stare, "What did you do to her." he whispered.

I was shocked by his accusation, "I didn't do anything to her."

"You must have she won't even look my in the eyes now." he said and then his anger surged and I saw his body start to shake, "Things were perfectly fine until you butted in!"

His yelling had caught the attention of everyone, but I didn't pay attention to them. He was really testing my control.

"Have you ever thought that maybe I wanted no part in any of this, with any of you. Maybe I didn't want to meet the Cullens, maybe I didn't want to get caught up in all this Supernatural shit! Have you ever thought maybe you just don't have what she wants." I growled out. I never saw it coming.

His hard metal like hand punched me in the face with enough force to send me to the ground. I felt blood spill into my mouth from my now busted lip, and bruising cheek. My anger became to much and before I knew what I had done I shot up and gave a growl as I threw myself at him. I sent us both falling to the ground and tumbling down the beach. Finally we came to a stop not far from the water and it washed us in sea salt water. My fist came down multiple times onto his face, I wanted to rearrange it to the point no one could recognize who he was, to the point Leah wouldn't be able to even stand the sight of him.

Though my process was stopped when he managed to get a leg between us and kick me off of him, if I was still human I'm sure just the punch from him would have been enough to knock me out. I landed on my back in the sand and my anger only grew. Suddenly odd things happened, the fire that billy had made went out, the grill had dents in it, and continued to get them until it was nothing more than scraps, a seven trees exploded and turned to mere sawdust, and then the radio crushed and caught fire. None of this stopped me and Jacob from our ongoing fight.

When he finally got to his feet I was pleased to see that his face was servery bruised and bleeding. A cut just over his eyebrow, was no doubt making it hard for him to see, giving me the upper hand. My training was doing wonders, and since he still thought I was human he was just a sitting duck to me. Our fight ended there though much to my displeasure.

Leah seemed to always jump in at the wrong times, and for the wrong people. I had been only inches from bringing my fist down on Jacob when I was grabbed by the wrist and through back a little by Leah.

"Leah move out of the way." I growled. My breathing was labored and sweat was mixing in with the blood from my lip and on my arm from when Jacob had dug his nails into my skin.

"No. I think you've done enough already Bella." she said.

She let Jacob rest against her and I saw him smirk at me when she wasn't looking. I growled and took a threatening step towards him, but was once again stopped by Leah, this time she pushed me back with more force.

"I'm serious Bella, it's over just go home."

"Not until this little punks down on the ground gasping for me to stop." I whispered in a low voice. Her eyes widen and I think it finally crossed her mind that I was serious about hurting him.

"Bella what's gotten into you."

"What's gotten into me, what's gotten into him, what's gotten into you!" I was angry and my body was shaking. How could she just stand up for this prick like nothing had happened between us. she knew of my feelings for her and she's was abusing them, they had become raw over the days, and where fragile sores now. One wrong touch and i would explode.

"I'm sick and tired of everyone thinking they can just walk all over and telling me what I should and shouldn't do. I'm not a fucking child anymore!" I turned and started for the car. i didn't have to put up with this shit, i don't even know why i bothered to come. i guess i was thinking that is she saw that i could stand on my own, that she didn't have to worry about me that everything would be okay. That she would finally accept me. But once again i had been wrong, and her next words supported me and brought me to a halt.

"That's no reason to go around beating people up though." she said. I turned around and stalked back over to her, we were making a scene but that's fucking fine with me, I was going to get all this off my chest right now and end this drama. If she wanted to be like this that was fine, i can show her what a real feral Bella looked like.

"You really think I started this!" she seemed at a lost between this now. My anger wasn't brought even hit by water when i saw Jacob was smiling, he was planning all this. I was going to kill the prick i swear, if it's the last thing I do. To the last second, to the last breath, to the last man, I swear I was going to kill him.

"Well-" she started.

"You need to decided." I finally said cutting her off.

"What do you mean?" she asked and I frowned, i didn't want to explain this to her, not like this.

"You need to decide who you want to be with, I can't take anymore of the switching, it hurts when you do. I'm slowly losing my mind because of it." I said. I didn't want to put her through this right now but, she wasn't helping anymore than she was hurting me and Jacob. We both wanted her and we both needed her, the only difference is that without her I'll go crazy, in fact it had already started to take effect.

"So pick...Me or Jacob?"


Cliff hanger again, so that tells you that there are three parts of this split chapter, hoped you like it and review and tell me what you think Leah should say. All mistakes are my own once again.
