Chapter 15

Jacob's POV

"Hi this is Leah. I'm not here right now so leave a message and I'll call you back. BEEP!"

I got her machine. Again. Ugh. It's almost been a week since she last talked to me. Maybe she'll talk to me at Sam's tonight. She has too.

I pressed redial on my phone.

Leah's POV

Ring! Ring! I looked at my phone.

JACOB it said on the screen.

I pressed ignore on my phone. Doesn't he get that I don't want to talk to him.

"Hey Leah! I got great news!" Seth exclaimed as he ran into the living room. I'm glad somebody's having a great day.

"What?" I asked him. I got up to walk into the kitchen.

"I'm dating Maddy!" he said excitedly as he followed me. I stopped in the middle of the kitchen. He can't be dating her. I turned around to face him.

"What! You can't be dating her. She's with Jake. Wait- when did this happen?"

"Today. But we have been hanging out for the last few weeks. And she's not with Jake. She doesn't even like him anymore."

"When did this happen?" I was confused.

"When you saw them at the beach. She realized that Jake really loves you."

"Then why was he at the beach with Maddy? At night? And why didn't he tell me this?"

"He tried but you won't talk to him or return his calls."

I had to admit that he has been wanting to explain everything to me all week.

"Okay, maybe that's true but he still shouldn't have been at the beach with her! What if something happened?"

"But nothing did happen! Jeez Leah. You have to start to trust people."

I had enough of what he was saying. I walked to the door.

"I'm heading over to Sam's now. See you there," I replied closing the door behind me. I thought about what Seth said as I walked along the dirt road towards Sam and Emily's. I know Seth is right. I have a problem with trusting people. It's just hard.

I opened the door to the house to find most of the pack there. They were all in the kitchen eating the muffins that Emily had on the table. Everyone looked at me. Sam, Emily, Paul, Jarred, Quil, Embry, Brady, Collin....and Jake. Seth walked in the kitchen behind me. I walked to the table and sat down beside Quil. Jake kept on staring at me . He was leaning against the wall. Beside him stood Seth. I usut ignored them and looked at Sam, who was getting ready to speak.

"Paul, Jarred, shut up. So you guys, Jake and I have been thinking. Since the Cullens aren't a problem for us and there aren't anymore vampires coming to town that we know of, we think that we will stop doing extra patrol," Sam said to us. I was glad. I need to get more sleep anyways. Sam continued.

"We are also having a but of a problem with Chelsea. She is stating to suspect something . She is already not speaking to Leah and now Embry too. Also now Seth's dating Maddy."

I suddenly felt the full force of Jake's eyes on me.

"It's my fault. I keep telling her lie after lie and Seth really likes Maddy," I spoke up.

"It's no ones fault. What can you do? We can't tell her," Jake replied then looked at Seth. "And Seth, I'm happy for you."

"Yeah, well I'm Chelsea's best friend. I shouldn't have to lie to her. I don't about the rest of you, but I don't like lying to people," I said looking at Jake. Okay, I guess that was a little harsh.

"We don't either Leah. But we have too," Sam replied. He could probably tell that my comment was mostly towards Jacob.

"I know. Don't worry, I'll keep lying to her. Can I please go now?" I asked Sam. He nodded. Everyone started heading home before I stood up. Just as I did stand up, Jake came over and touched my arm.

"Can we talk?" he asked me. I wasn't ready to hear what he had to say yet.

"Nope."

I hurried to catch up with Seth.
