Paul's Point of View.

(P's PoV):

Here I was underneath the hottest bitch in town and all I could think of, was what the guys would think, when they found out that I was getting my ass whipped by a girl. Not that getting tickled by Leah was in any way sexual, I always thought her as one of my brothers that had her bumps in different places. Me? Paul Lahote not wanting some action? Puh-leaz; this wasn't fore-play; this was torture. Oh man, the guys are going to get me so much for this. Oh lord; STOP. She pauses for a second; I think she's going to give in to my squeals, but then she increases the speed, doubling my agony. Oh God she's acting so childish. I slide down, off my chair and into the ground, my spine in a con-cave shape. Bent over in laughter I continue to beg. I try to push Leah away with my leg but miss and move the coffee table instead.

"Stop." I freeze; this voice is not my own; this voice contains anger instead of agonizing enjoyment. This voice is the voice of the chief of the tribe; the Alfa, my best, so-called friend; Samuel Uley. Oh shit.

"What is going on here?" Sam demands, I don't know what to do, terrified into silence I don't speak.
Hearing a slight noise coming from Leah, oh that brave sole.
"What's that Lee-Lee?" Sam snarled, almost taunting her with rotten memories of what couldn't be. God I hated it when he used that name.

Leah looked up, cleared her throat daring Sam with what might come next. "Tickling."

Sam's head snaps towards me, chilling me to the bone. I physically felt cold, like I was no longer was a werewolf, just a harmless child. I look away, feeling like the coward I am. "Is that so Paul, and do tell me why you two are in the waiting room?"

I still don't speak, neither does Leah; I suppose it is my turn to face the devil. I sigh, turning my head to look at his black eyes. "We were on a coffee break."

Sam raises his eyebrows. "I don't give coffee breaks."

"We know." Leah whispers like it's the funniest thing in the world. She starts breathing heavily; I know she's trying not to laugh, I'm doing that myself, but to everyone else it looks like she's just done something naughty and been caught.

I never thought it was possible to have your eyebrows up that high but here's Sam proving me wrong. "I sent Jarred in to get you ten minutes ago." He said.

"Three." States quietly, I don't think she's grasped the idea that werewolves can hear everything yet. Poor sole; were in for it now.

"Excuse me?" neither of us answered. Sam was furious. "Get out of my sight." He pointed to the door, staring at his ex-fiancé. "Go to the office and answer the phones where you belong."

I sigh. Giving one last glance at me, Leah leaves me to Sam all by myself. Stupid Sam; everyone knew that Leah was the best mechanic next to Jake. But no, she was to be put in her place and be treated like the underdog she is. What a load of crap.

Sam snaps his head to me. Oh shit.

"What was that?" he asks. "My bitch was all over you and you didn't have the decency to stop her?"

I sigh, looking towards the door, wondering how much Leah can hear. Turning my attention to Sam slowly I glare at him, "She's not yours anymore Sam."

Sam picks me up and dumps me into a chair. "But she's not one of your play things Lahote. I told you from the start that we were to make her life hell. Yet here you are, flirting your balls off, making her feel wanted! She's a whore Paul! She's turning you away from me mate! I thought you got what we're trying to do."

"Non Sam." I said. "I got your side of the story; but now i decided that I didn't like it. This is no longer a pack Sam! it's your personal service, waiting on your every beck and call. I'm not standing for it! You've made Leah miserable Sam, and it doesn't bother you one bit! I got the whole not wanting to be tied down at such an early age thing but we're talking about Imprinting Sam! You're playing with Emily's heart; you lied to Harry just so he wouldn't get the shot gun out, and now you're no longer doing a good job as the packs Alfa! WHAT ARE YOU DOING SAM? At first I agreed that Seth was too young to be Alfa, and I did think that Ell wouldn't be able to hold the responsibility because of the female thing, but now? I'm starting to think that she'd handle it a whole lot better than you would."

Sam picked me up from the scruff of the neck and swung me across the room and into the wall. "Now listen here and listen well. I fucked Leah, told her that I would marry her just to get in her pants then broke it off with her once I started phasing. I did it because I didn't want her to get hurt! Emily was just a pawn in the chess game, sometimes you have to make sacrifices to win the game Paul. I did it for her. You hear me? For her Paul! Not for some personal gain."

I gritted my teeth. "You keep telling yourself that; but we both know the truth Sam. We were both players in high school; and everyone wanted to see if they could get a freshman's V card you did, bravo. But at what cost? I have always treated my women with respect. Have you? I never promised them anything but a good time. That's the golden rule Sam; you don't mess that one up. But you got yourself tied down. You made your bed so you should have slept in it! Instead? You played a card that you shouldn't have played. You're still tied down Sam, just with a different girl. NO use hiding it. At least with Leah, it was because she loves you, not because she thought she had to love you."

Sam pushed himself off me, looking me down. "I never thought I'd have to do this Paul, you're my best friend. But I have to. Paul Lahote, by the power of Levi Uley I order you to never speak to Leah Clearwater, daughter of Harry Clearwater in regards to why I truly abandoned her. "

"There's hardly any power in that order to begin with." I say, disgusted in my weakness, unable to fight the order.

Sam slams against me in anger. "But it's enough to keep your mouth shut boy, watch what you say to your superiors." He lets go of me, then leaves. I sigh, then clean up the empty waiting room.

Barsted.

I walk into the office, to see Leah swivelling on her chair looking dejected. Walking towards her I open my moth to speak but get cut off by the telephone.

"One sec." She says, holding up her index finger she turns to the phone. She sighs, straightens her shoulders then put on the fakest smile on in the world. "Hello, La Push motors. Leah Clearwater speaking, how may I be of assistance?" I laugh at her cheeriness, Leah swaps her index for her middle to flip me off. I laugh even more. "M-hum. Yeah. Let me just check that." She types in the client's details, "Ok that won't be too hard to arrange Mr. Ateara, M-hum. See you at the next counsel bomb fire."

Leah hangs up and leans against the chair in defeat. "I've got to get out of here." I stop laughing and nod my head in agreement; this place was tearing her down. "Sam has to understand that even though were a pack we're still individual people and he can't just control our lives like that. Hell! I was gonna leave this town like a bat out of hell as soon as I left that poor excuse of a High School."

"Oh come on Leah, it wasn't that bad," I sigh, even though I knew it was, "from what I remember you were quiet the celebrity." Please, she was Sam's little whore, everyone in our year knew it.

"That was two years ago!" She points out. "You and Sam where seniors while I was a sophomore. Hell, my accomplishments were spread to Forks. No one got a senior as a boyfriend when they were in sophomore. It wasn't herd of; and I was getting married to him! My childhood sweetheart! That was a teenage girls dream! Then he goes and hooks up with my older, sexier cousin!" As she bangs her head, my heart crumbles to know what it looked like from the outside compared to reality. "I guess age really does matter." Crap, I couldn't believe she just said that. Leah sighs as though she's remembering something. "When Sam left it broke my heart, I went into a depression, only a few friends stayed with me but we never spoke. Then I phased; no one wants to hang around a Bitch that feels sorry for herself," She looks at me with her puppy dog eyes, "And that was all I was."

My heart breaks. Screw this, I can't tell her what happened then I'll sent her to the place that might fix this. There's a reason why Sam wouldn't let Leah go to the Makah reservation, she might get some information that would seriously screw up his position as Alfa.
"You need to get out of here." I tell her.
She sighs. "I can't. Sam won't give me leave."
"Just go." I whisper. "Go; and I'll take care of the rest." It would be hard, but I would do it for her.
"Seriously?" She asks.
"Your shift ends at three; I'll cover your patrols; take Seth and drive!" I say, leaning in so no one would hear. "By the time Sam finds out you'll be with Emily and he won't be able to say no."
"I can't," She says, starting to panic, "Mum will need the truck."
"Then pack up the station wagon." I say knowing that it would be a stretch, Leah hadn't touched it since Harry had died. I don't blame her; too many memories.
Now she's really starting to panic. "I...I...I can't," She whispers, "Paul, you know I can't."
I lean in real close, trying to get her to realise how important it is for her to go. "I know you can do it Lee-Lee; and so do you. Come on Clearwater. Do it. Take the plunge; and while you're doing that. Take a deep breath."

Leah's clock goes off, telling her it's time to go, but the question is whether or not she'll listen. She looks over to the clock, then back at me, our nooses touching. She tilts her head a bit then pecks my lips. I'm so shocked that I don't register her heading for the door until she's there.
"That's the Leah I use to know." I say, happy that she's going out to get her life back.

But then...

I realise that she just kissed me.
