The next day, Leah's alarm clock went off around five in the morning. Her eyebrows scrunched up, as the ringing flooded her ears, giving her a headache. She reached across the night stand table and pressed the off button before sitting up and stretching, hearing her back pop a few times. Then she ran a hand through her silky black stands before throwing her feet over the side of the bed, her feet already seeking the purple slippers she kept there. Once she had them, she stood up, making her way to her bathroom.
Today she would have to be at work by six thirty and has to stay until eleven thirty. Leah usually preferred the night shifts. That was because not only could she get out of having to run patrol, but there were often more people at Olive Garden which meant more tips and more money for Leah. And that was the reason she had gotten a job after all. To get money.
But she'd had to switch her shifts. Today she was supposed to get the noon shift, but she had called to ask if she could get it switched over because she knew Embry would be over today to work on her car. And there was absoleutly no way in this world, she would allow him to work on her car without her being able to be there and watch him.
Leah didn't trust him. Even though he had never called her mean words, to her face at least, or gave her dirty looks, she still didn't like nor trust him. Of course, Leah didn't hate him as much as she did some of the other boys in the pack, but she certainly didn't like him either. To her, he was just there with the other boys, blending in.
But that was also the reason, she couldn't let him work on her car by himself. Leah didn't know him. So how could she know for sure that he wasn't easily persuaded? For all she knew, Paul come be there with him, telling him to put stuff in her car that would make it blow up. The jackass sure did hate her enough to do something like that.
Shaking her head, Leah closed her bathroom door behind her, as she looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't even look like the same Leah from two years ago. That Leah's skin glistened and shined. She always had a big, smile on her face and was always happy to see everyone. She was the kindest person anyone would ever meet. Her long black hair almost touched the middle of her back. All the boys thought she was beautiful and had crushes on her. But she wasn't that Leah anymore. She didn't smile as much if at all. She hated just about everyone and was known as the bitch of La Push. Not to mention, she no longer had her beautiful locks of black hair. Sam had made her cut it because it made her wolf look shaggy.
Sam. His name used to fill Leah up with happiness two years ago when they had first started dating. He had been the most caring boyfriend ever and the perfect match for Leah. She really had loved him. But not now, every time she thought of his name, her face formed a scowl. It wasn't because she still loved him, contrary to what several people in the town believed.
It was because he had broken her heart. Him and her cousin. And that enough would be hard for a girl to get over. But that Leah could have handled. Maybe she could have became the same girl again from before. But it was the fact that everyday, their love was thrown into Leah's face. Everything that Sam had promised Leah, he had given to Emily. And she saw how much he loved Emily instead of Leah everyday. That was what made her bitter. Knowing that while she was all alone, Sam still had someone to love, leaving her with nothing and no one.
So no, she didn't love Sam anymore. She just hated the fact of having their relationship thrown into her face every five seconds seconds. And the worst part was that she couldn't even leave the city to try and repair herself because she had been the first female to phase into a wolf. So that's why Leah was so bitter all the time though it wasn't like anyone cared enough to ask.
Leah looked away from the mirror before she brushed her teeth quickly and washed her face. Afterwards, she brushed her hair. It wasn't as long as it used to be, but it sure was growing, and that put a smile on Leah's face. Even though small, it was an act of defiance. It touched a but beneath her shoulders now, and she already vowed to never cut it again. She let it stay down before going into her bedroom again to put on her work outfit.
It wasn't anything fancy. It was just a simple black dress with a halter top along with a green apron wrapped around the bottom of it. Then she put on some simple, black heels before grabbing her phone and walking down the stairs. Her mother was going to give her a ride today since her car had broken done. Sue Clearwater was already downstairs and smiled at her.
"Hey dear, ready to go?" Leah nodded before grabbing a banana for breakfast and following her mother to her car. It was a small truck that her father her owned. It was nice and a dark blue color. She got into the front seat, closing the door behind her.
Sue Clearwater was something else. She may have been little and short, but that didn't mean she didn't snap. She was a very kind person but never took any nonsense and wasn't a afraid to speak her mind. Leah assume for that was where she got her ferocity from.
Olive Garden wasnt too far from the Forks hospital where her mother worked. That's why her mother didn't mind dropping her daughter off as much. It was rather close to where she worked anyway.
The drive wasn't long and after about ten minutes, she was there. "Thanks mom," she said once they had stopped before kissing her mother on the cheek and opening her door to get out. "Have a nice day Leah," Sue told her daughter and Leah rolled her eyes before she got out of the car, slamming the door shut behind her, as she began walking into Olive Garden.
It was quiet, and Leah could tell that not too many people were here. There was one older couple sitting in a booth. She shook off the jacket she'd put on this morning, hanging it on the hook.
"Don't forget to slide your card in, so you can't be counted as late." Leah turns, spotting Riley, the only other waitress working this morning. Riley was incredibly sweet and had mixed skin with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
"Thanks," Leah tells the girl. Riley was one of the only people in the world she liked. She was sweet and was always looking out for the best in people. She reminded her of Seth really.
She got to work quickly, and her shift began to fly by. Only four more groups of people came in and left while she was waitressing, and she served them quickly, making sure to put a smile on her face all the while. And she was tipped well, earning $45. By the time she finished, two new couples came in. Quickly Leah showed them to a table before telling Riley goodbye.
When she walked outside, it struck Leah that she didn't have a ride back home. She sighed, shaking her head. She didn't feel like walking anywhere especially in heels and a dress, but what other choice did she have?
It wasn't too bad out anyway. Since it was noon, the sun was high in the sky, reaching its peek. There was a nice breeze, which didn't really cool her down in the slightest. Again Leah sighed before beginning to walk in the direction of her home. It would only be a fifteen minute walk anyway, and all of her patrols were worse than that.
"Seems like you could use a ride?" Leah turned her head at the voice, looking at a truck and inside of it was Embry. A scowl immediately came across her face. Had they not gone through the other day? She didn't want his help. Her answer was no and wouldn't always be no.
"Go away Embry," she snapped, not glancing at him, as she continued walking.
"I'm just trying to be nice Leah." He had slowed down the car so that he was going at the same speed of her, ignoring the cars honking behind him. Eventually they all just drove around him, yelling at him as they passed.
"Well I don't need you to be nice."
"We are going to the same place, why not?"
Leah stopped, running a hand through her hair, as she growled at Embry, wondering what about this he didn't understand. "Because I don't fucking like you." And she turned to keep walking, determined not to look at him anymore or acknowledge him.
Embry shook his head, parking his car before getting out and walking over to Leah, putting his hands on her shoulders, as he pressed her back onto the wall of the flower shop she was walking by. "Stop being so stubborn Leah."
Leah's eyes widened in shock, as she looked at Embry, surprised by his actions. Embry had never been the one to make actions or step out. He had usually just blended with the rest of the pack but obviously Leah didn't know him as good as she thought she did.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Leah growls, immediately stomping on his toe. But she didn't get the reaction she was hoping for. Instead his hands tightened on her shoulders.
"There's no point in you walking, Leah, just get in the damn car!" Leah didn't understand where his new bravery was coming from and was surprised by his actions, never having expected this from shy Embry. What had gotten into him?
"Oh you must have lost your fucking mind if you think that you can put your hands on my body and do whatever the hell you want! You're lucky if I don't rip off your balls, one by one and feed them to you, you mother..."
Abruptly, Leah's voice stopped, as Embry smashed his lips against hers. His lips were rough and dominant against her own, like putting her into her place. Surprised Leah gasped, allowing Embry to stick his tongue into her mouth.
Leah hadn't been kissed since Sam had left her, and she was surprised by how much She was enjoying it. She missed it. One hand threaded into his hair, and she pulled him closer slightly before her senses took over and she pushed him away.
When Leah looked at him, she didn't see the same boy. No Embry wasn't who she thought he was at all. That had been completely unexpected and what was worse was that she had liked it. And that's pissed her off More than anything.
"I'm not a whore Embry. Just because you kissed me doesn't mean I'm going to listen to you." Her eyes showed pure hatred and anger.
"You know what Leah, I give up!" Embry threw his hands in the air, shaking his head. "I try to be nice, but now I understand why everyone in the pack hates you. You're such a bitch! And you deserve every name they call you!"
Leah scowled, watching him get back into his truck before driving off to her house so he could behind working on her truck. She shook her head. His words were nothing she hadnt heard before.
