Author/Note: This is a Leah/Jacob story with all the normal pairings and the events in Breaking Dawn never happened, because just like my cousin said, Breaking Dawn shouldn't even be considered a book.

Our Dawn

Part II

Leah Clearwater

27. Rendez-Vous

The low temperatures and the snow on the roads made me regret coming over to Canada. My poor car almost didn't make it all the way to Dawson city. The city where the Cullens were now living in was exactly like Seth had described me. It didn't surprise me to find a small city with a huge forest around it. After all the Cullens had to hunt and feed.

Their house was away from the city, just like in Forks. It was a huge mansion with another small house on the side and two garages. When I arrived Alice and Seth were outside talking. My brother waited until I got out of the car to greet me with a bear hug.

The kid was stronger each day. His smile grew when he put me down.

"I missed you so much big sister." He said.

"I missed you too baby brother." I confessed.

"What about me? Did you miss me too?" Alice asked.

"Not really leech…but it's good to see you." I said with a laugh. Alice didn't seem to be offended.

"Your car needs to be checked. I can ask Rose to do it for you." Alice offered.

"Blondie knows about cars?" I asked surprised.

"There's many things about me you don't know, she-wolf." Rosalie said coming through the door with a grin.

"Hello there, Ice Bitch." I spat.

"Leah…" Seth whined. "Please don't start."

"Fine. So…how are you doing?" I asked.

He smiled back at me again.

"Fine. Mum and Charlie will be here tomorrow."

I had arrived one day before it was scheduled because I was afraid my car wouldn't make it.

"The boys are hunting." Alice informed. "Come on in, Leah."

We went to the kitchen where Esme and Bella were cooking dinner. It smelled great, not that I was going to praised them or anything.

"Hi Leah." They both greeted. I just gave them a small smile.

"Seth was so excited about you coming here." Bella said looking to my brother with a sweet expression. I felt jealous. Bella had probably taken over my place as his sister.

"I know my brother quite well Bella." I never meant my voice to sound so cold.

"I hope you like Italian food Leah." Esme said trying to lighten up the mood.

"I'll eat everything unless it's poisoned."

Bella looked at me with a disapproval look.

"We wouldn't do that, we're family." She said quietly.

I shrugged.

"Alice, can you set the table please?" Esme asked.

"I can help too." I offered. I actually didn't want to help the pixie but it was the best way to leave Bella's company. I should have gotten over the whole "Bella thing" by now but it was hard to ignore that I was standing before the girl who had hurt Jacob's heart and still had a strong hold on him.

"You're the guest, Leah. Alice can set the table alone." Esme said.

I watched as Alice started to take out the plates and glasses.

"Are you sure you're doing that right?" I asked Bella. "It looks like mud."

"I know my cooking skills aren't as good as Esme's but I did a fair job taking care of my mum since I was about ten years old."

"Maybe that's why she decided to leave you with Charlie…" I mocked.

Bella put her tongue out like a little kid. Sometimes I just wished she would react more violently to my provocations. That way I would have a motive to kick her ass.

"Leah…" Seth said again.

"I'm sorry…Old habits die hard." I tried to apologise.

A few seconds later I heard a car pulling over and Carlisle came in. No matter what would happen to that family, Carlisle was the only one who made the Cullens look good.

"Hi there Leah. How've you been?" He asked politely.

"Fine, thank you."

"Sue is going to be really happy to see you." He said.

"The boys are here." Rosalie announced.

It was true, we could hear their voices coming closer and minutes later Emmett's large figure appeared, followed by Edward and Jasper. I never expected to feel the pine and rainy scent so close to me again and my brain was suddenly confused. Why did I smell Jacob's scent?

I looked at the door and there he was. Jacob was the last one to come into the kitchen and I froze. He was supposed to be in La Push with his family. What the hell.

"Rachel and Billy are coming too." Edward said reading my thoughts.

I had to get out of there fast.

"That's not a cleaver idea." He added.

This time he was right. If I left suddenly everyone would start to make questions.

"What's wrong?" Seth asked.

"Nothing." I said quickly setting my eyes away from Jacob.

"Edward…do you have a secret with the she-wolf?" Emmett asked curious. "I want to know too."

"It's not a secret…it's just that she's…confused." Edward explained.

"Dinner's ready!" Esme announced. "Let's go."

Ok, that was definitely the most uncomfortable dinner of my whole life. I was having a meal with eight fucking vampires, my brother and the guy I had slept with four months ago and was trying to forget.

Jacob started to eat in silence and Seth started to tell me everything about School.

"Seth's quite popular at School, you know?" Alice said.

"Because I'm friends with you." He stated. "Everyone wants to know things about the Cullens."

I nodded feeling Jacob's gaze in me. I wish he could stop staring.

"What about you Leah? Where have you been?" Bella asked. Everyone looked at me.

"Gold Beach. Oregon." I said emotionless. It was impossible to lie with the mind rapist there.

"We searched you in Seattle." Seth confessed.

I knew that but I didn't tell him. Seth would realise I was hiding from someone.

"I guess I don't like big cities."

"How is it over there?" My brother asked me.

"It's a bit like Forks without the leeches and wolves."

"It sounds great then." Emmett joked. "Hope you never get bored."

"People are really nice. I've been working and I made some friends."

"At least the she-wolf is trying to move on." Rosalie's cold voice said. "I can't still understand why the hell we have to put up with a good for nothing freeloader." She eyed Jacob and he showed her the finger.

"Why don't you stay with us Leah?" Seth suggested. "You could join Jake's pack."

I looked at him confused.

"This is not a pack." Jacob said.

"Yes, it is. Since we came to live here I can only hear your thoughts and you said you can only hear me and Sam."

"Seth's probably right." Carlisle announced. "When you left La Push you didn't refuse the alpha position, you just allowed Sam to become alpha again…and because Seth left with you, you formed a second pack."

Jacob shrugged.

"Come on Leah. We could be together again." Seth said happily. "Just me, you and Jake."

Thoughts of that night popped into my mind and I felt my face getting hotter. The words "me" and "Jacob" should never be pronounced together again.

"I'm not staying here Seth." I said.

"Do you have someone waiting for you in Gold Beach?" Jacob asked. His eyes met mine and I shivered.

It was the first time he was speaking directly to me. I wasn't expecting him to sound so angry.

"Maybe." I replied. I was lying.

"New friends?" Bella inquired.

"Yes."

I saw Jacob clenching his fists.

"That's great Leah. Then you can bring a friend as a date to Rachel's wedding." Alice suggested.

Jacob growled. Was he upset because I had new friends or was he still not happy with Paul and his sister's wedding?

"I don't think so." I confessed.

"Why not? I can't believe you haven't met any guy…" Alice stated.

"It's not that. I guess I could ask Jace…" I lied again. There was no Jace. Jacob looked like he wanted to murder someone.

"Come on Leah. Rachel wants you to be there." My brother said with a sad face. "Paul and the others also miss you."

I found that very hard to believe.

"If you don't want to bring your friend…You can just go with Jake. He doesn't have a date either." Bella said.

Shit. Why did she have to say that? Jacob looked at me with a smirk. Bella's words made sense to everyone in the room. They didn't see anything wrong about Jacob and I going to Rachel's wedding together.

"Oh please…not this again." Edward complained looking from me to Jacob. "I had enough of this, alright?"

"Get the fuck out of my head." Jacob snarled at him.

"Edward what's going on?" Bella asked confused.

"Nothing. Your husband just needs to learn to respect other people's privacy." Jacob said in a harsh tone.

"Privacy? Are you kidding me? You don't even try to control your thoughts." Edward complained again. "Just try to clean that dirty mind of yours, alright?"

I guess I wasn't the only one thinking about inappropriate things.

After dinner we all went into the living room. Seth, Jacob, Emmett and Rosalie were playing a console's game. Alice and Bella were watching some magazines. Alice wanted to choose Rachel's dress and Esme decided to show me a few pictures of the family. Jasper, Edward and Carlisle were nowhere to be seen.

When I noticed that Jacob hadn't stopped staring at me, I said I was tired and Bella decided to take me to my room.

We left the mansion and she took me to the small house next to it. It looked like Jacob and Seth had their own "dog's house".

"It's not that we don't want them there…it's just that Rose likes to…annoy Jake." Bella stated.

"Yeah…it figures."

Rosalie Hale was a bit like me. She would never get used to be friends with a pack of wolves. We were natural enemies after all.

"Things got pretty confusing when you left." Bella announced.

"What? Why?"

"Well Seth and Sue were desperate. Charlie didn't know what to do to help Sue and Jake and Sam got into a fight."

"A fight? Why?"

"I don't know. Jake never told us. Probably about leaving the pack."

Actually I didn't have to be Edward Cullen to know why they had fought and it wasn't about the pack.

"Why did you leave?" Bella questioned.

"I needed to be alone."

"Jacob thinks you still love Sam and you're angry about Emily being pregnant."

"Well, Jacob is an asshole and he's wrong. I don't love Sam anymore and I'm actually happy for my cousin."

"Did you ever think about it?"

"About what?"

"Getting married and having Sam's children?"

"A long time ago…But I don't want that anymore. Even if Sam didn't love Emily, I wouldn't go back to him."

She nodded in agreement.

"This is your room. If you need something Jacob's staying next door, alright?"

Great. I was going to sleep right next to Jacob's room. As soon as Bella left I closed the door and locked it. I changed clothes quickly and I went to bed trying not to think about him staying under the same roof as me.

An hour later I heard steps outside my bedroom and I immediately recognised his scent. I got up and waited.

"Open the door Leah. I know you're not sleeping." He said.

"Go away." I whispered.

I didn't want to be alone with him and I didn't want to hear what he had to tell me.

"We need to talk."

"No, we don't. Just go away."

"Open the door." He warned. For a moment I thought he would knock the door down.

"Please, just go to sleep." I begged him.

"I can't sleep."

"Tough."

"Just open the damn door or I will give you an alpha command."

"I don't belong to your pack."

"Yes, you do. You're still my beta."

I shivered when he mentioned the word "my". The possessiveness in his voice left me almost breathless.

"I don't want to talk to you. Leave me alone."

I waited a few seconds and I finally heard his steps going away slowly. I sighed in relief. I turned around to go back to bed and suddenly I saw someone coming through the opened window.

I couldn't believe he had just done that. I was trapped and I didn't know what to do.

"We really need to talk, Leah." He said with a smile.
