Author Note: I'm very glad that some people already like my work. I'll put more effort in the coming chapters so that I don't disappoint you! Thanks for the reviews as well :)

I don't own any character. They are all, as the setting of the story, Sephenie Meyer's. =)

Enjoy.

CHAPTER 2: I'm over it! Not as much as I'd like to be…

Does anybody here understand what it means to LEAVE SOMEONE ALONE? Ever since the stupid Black Jr. scared and annoyed the crap out of me last week I have been more and more upset about anything that had to do with him.

And what about this Jacob kid… ever since his pale buddy stopped coming here, he has had everybody in the freaking reservation putting up with his misery and temper. Not even his gang wants to spend time with him…or maybe he doesn't want to spend time with them…The thing is that he is just as lonely as I am, so he doesn't get to tell what I should or shouldn't do. What a hypocrite.

I am partly curious about the deal with this Bella girl. It was obvious to every soul in La Push that there was a thing going on between those two, but all of a sudden POOF she vanished. All I knew about her is that her father was Charlie Swan, Forks' sheriff and one of my dad's closest and dearest friends. We might have been introduced once when we were both children but I can't be quite sure.

I believe our parents and Billy black used to put all of us together on summers. Billy's two older daughters, Sheriff Swan's kid and me…and Emily. I believed it was dead boring. I must be right.

I am going back home from work - I assist a vet named Jose Cruz, he is Spanish. The clinic is very close and it's not late so I'm walking. I am half way there when I realise I'm the only one in the road. There are no cars, no people. I keep walking and the lights turn on. It's sometime around six o'clock. It's already much darker than when I left work. There's a feeling of unease, but it is probably just me and some kind of paranoia I'm developing… Oh, what the hell. People already think I'm so depressed I am going crazy. They might as well think I've lost it altogether.

I begin walking faster and I hear a car coming in my direction. My instincts tell me to hide and so I do. I enter the woods hoping the vehicle passes quickly so that I can return to my original path. I'm hiding behind a tree, thinking how silly it was of me to hide or feel fright in the first place. I'm about to go back when I hear the exact same howl I heard in my dream, only this time I am a hundred percent sure I'm awake.

I freeze in place for three reasons…First. The howl was too clear… the animal is very, very close. Second…The howl was to powerful, too loud… it must have come from a huge- gigantic if you will- creature. I know I have to run There's an enormous beast dangerously close and potentially upset around me… but I don't move. I don't move because of the third reason. The beautiful man might be somewhere near…

What the hell am I thinking? I'm going to be some wolf's dinner just because I'm hoping to see a total stranger who might not even exist. I snap out of trance and run for the road.

That night I dream about the wolf. I can see it, it's big and furry, it's running through the trees. It can't see me, I'm not there. I'm a floating spirit who sees and hears it all… like we all usually are in dreams. All of a sudden the picture changes. I am not looking at the wolf anymore. All I see are blurry images pass by way too fast for me to make out what they are.

Then I realise I'm seeing through its eyes. I'm seeing the trees disappear before me. I leave them behind. I leave it all behind. I'm running to the speed of light.

My mum asks me to go with her to Forks, she's picking up some recipe Mrs. Sloan is lending her and some ingredients for it as well. I say yes. I ignore one more time the strong desire of doing nothing I've felt since they got engaged.

I replayed the memory of that day in my head during the ride…

It happened some months ago, on a Friday, I think. We were having dinner. My mum was really upset about Seth refusing to go out with some 13-year-old, daughter of a friend of hers...It was hilarious. That picture was the most normal thing you could ever see. A family having dinner. Then the phone rang and Seth got up to answer.

He got to the phone and said "Hallo" with a smile across his face, the way he always answered the phone. Then his expression changed abruptly..."Hey, man. Ehm ...". He glared at me hoping I wouldn't notice. But he wasn't fast enough and I did see the pity in his eyes.

"No. I won't..." He said turning his back at all of us. "I'll pass along the news, OK?" Another long silence. The person, whoever he was, on the other side of the phone was talking. Apparently he had a lot to say. Then all us heard Seth snap "Are you out of your freaking mind?! You CAN'T ask THAT!". Another pause, even longer than the last one and Seth sighed. He tried to lower his voice, but it was still audible. "I don't understand you. I don't get what happened ... " He said the following even in a lower voice, but I managed to hear something that sounded like "She doesn't deserve any of this. You've hurt her enough. Bye."

I got up the table without looking away from the floor and started walking to the closet by the front door. My dad was mad at me for leaving like that... "Leah Clearwater, come back here and excuse yourself. Where do you think you live?" I turned around to face him. The stupid tears were on their way, I could feel my hands trembling. "Excuse..." I saw Seth trembling too. His hands were now fists and his eyes were full of rage. "Dad, let her go. She needs to go." Seth managed to say sharply through his teeth.

Both my parents looked at Seth, and when they turned to see me again I had my jacket on and I was already on the other side of the door. I closed it with one of my legs, without even turning around.

I knew it had been Sam on the phone. I knew he wanted to speak to me...I knew they were engaged. I just knew it. I had been expecting this to happen for a while. Recently I had been just subconsciously waiting for it, and it had finally come.

Automatically I filled the gaps of the conversation. Sam's part. And it was all clear now. I knew what had been said. I knew him too well. I knew how he had dropped the bomb and what had my brother told him.

It had gone a little – or a lot- like this:

"Hallo" Seth smiling.

"Hello, Seth. It's Sam. Uley."

"Hey, man. Ehm…"

"Is Leah home? May I speak to her… Put her on, please."

"No , I won't"

"I have news. Emily and I are getting married. I want to be the one to tell your parents and Lee-lee. Emily is worried about her.I want to take that off her chest."

"I'll pass along the news, OK?"

"Seth, wait. That's not all. I need to speak to your sister. On Emily's behalf. She… I need to ask her something and it is of the utmost importance." Seth didn't answer. He was probably expecting his silence to be translated as What ever it is you need to say. You'll have to say it to ME first. It worked… Sam went on.

"I need to ask her…I want…. We want to ask her if she'd be… If she'd be our maid or honor."

That was when Seth snapped into fury and disbelief. "Are you out of your freaking mind?! You CAN'T ask THAT!"

"I know… We know we have no right to ask her anything. Emily loves her, loves her too much. She's like a sister to her and she's also very important to me." Seth was still digesting the idea. This took him at least 20 seconds. Then he sighed.

"I don't understand you. I don't get what happened ... She doesn't deserve any of this. You've hurt her enough. Bye."

Obviously he meant Why the hell and all of a sudden you broke my sister's universe into a million impossible-to-put-together pieces?

I started running as I always run to escape from reality. Not following a path, not heading any particular place but always fast. As fast as my legs allow me to run, and that was FAST.I realised my hands still trembled and the tremors were stronger and stronger. I felt fire, I felt fire down my spine, along my limbs. It was unbelievably hot inside me. It spread across my face and my head was about to explode because of the heat. Yet, it didn't melt the huge frozen piece of rock that was stuck in my throat or the even bigger one in my stomach.

I was heading to the woods...and then I finally exploded.

I fell to the ground and passed out. And I had the weirdest dream, - and I've had some freaky dreams- I wasn't human.

Did I pull it off with Jacob? Please review!
