AN: Thanks to all the reviewers, alerters, favoriters ( don't think that is a word lol but its ok), and readers! This chapter is back in Leah's POV. Here it is:
I do not own Twilight or the characters.
I quickly phased out and put my clothes back on. Jacob had just admitted that he had feelings for me and that scared the hell out of me. I didn't want him to like me, I wanted him to hate me like Sam did. Him liking me just made whatever we had more complicated. I sound so stupid right now. I mean I liked him and in the back of my mind I knew I was happy he liked me. My mind was just so jumbled, I didn't know what I wanted or didn't want.
I checked my pockets to make sure my cell phone was still in place. I looked at my screen saver and smiled. It was a picture of me and Seth with our tongues hanging out. I laughed lightly thinking back to the day we took the picture. It was the day he told me about his first kiss, which happened to be from a eighteen year old local. She was actually a friend of the family and I always knew she liked Seth. I remember wanting to beat her face in for lip raping my little brother but he talked me out of it. I scrolled down my call list and stopped at Seth's number. Him not talking to me was killing me, I hated to fight with him. I pushed the call button and put the phone up to my ear.
I heard Seth pick up, but he just sat there.
" Hey Seth I was calling to apologize. I know you don't want to talk to me, but you have to listen. I am your sister, we are family, we can't let something this small break us a part. Can you just find a way to forgive me," I asked sweetly. Seth sighed and I could tell he was searching for something to say.
" Come to the house." he said hanging up the phone. I hung up and stuffed the phone back into my pocket.
The house seemed so different now. Usually I could smell something cooking from the kitchen, but not today. The living room was a mess; paper work was thrown all over the coffee table and flowed onto the floor.
" What the hell happened here,' I asked stepping over paper and sitting on the couch.
Seth ruffled his hair and sat down next to me. " Mom went on a rampage. She has been doing that a lot since you've been gone."
" Oh. Is she here now," I asked.
" No she is over Charlie's. He has been taking care of her since she got out of the hospital this morning." Seth clenched his jaw.
" Why didn't she just come back here? Charlie works a lot so what's the point of being there," I asked getting kind of pissed off that she was at Bella Bitches old home.
" That's where she wanted to go. She said she needed to get away from La Push for a bit. You really hurt her Leah. You hurt me too," Seth looked up at me with fury in his eyes. I put a hand on one of his shoulders.
" I know and I am really sorry. Mom just was going at me about how I was treating Emily. You know how mom always takes sides with her."
" Yea but maybe you should listen to her. She might be right about you cutting Em some slack. It's not all her fault ya know," Seth replied.
" I am just angry about it Seth. It's not easy just to be around them and act like it isn't wrong. No one can tell me how to feel about it, no one knows how it feels," I noticed how Seth's face changed from angry to soft.
" Even though mom was giving you a hard time, you still had me Leah. You didn't have to leave like that. You had me to run to, but instead you ran to Jake."
" I know." Seth smiled a little. " I love you little bro." I pulled him into a hug. " Do you forgive me?"
" Yea I guess I can. Ugh why are you using that voice with me, you know it gets me." he pulled away from me and slapped my arm. At least now he was smiling widely and was back to the old Seth.
" I just wanted you to forgive me. I hated how you were pissed off at me. You are all I've got right now."
" You got Jake too Lee." Seth stated. His face was serious now, no longer holding that childish smile. Seth's features were becoming a lot more manly and not so child like anymore.
" What's that suppose to mean?"
" You two keep playing this game. Everyone knows you two like each other, come on now. You should give him a chance. He cares about you," Seth took one of my hands in his. " He called me this morning after you left. He said he hurt your feelings and felt really bad about it. Then he told me he liked you, which shocked the hell out of me. Jacob rarely admits to something, unless it has to do with Bells."
I didn't say anything because I didn't know what to say. I knew I liked Jacob, I liked him a whole lot.
" Maybe you should talk to him." Seth picked up the house phone and handed it to me.
" Oh no you don't expect me to call him do you? I have nothing to say to that bastard." I shook my head and pushed the phone away.
" Stop telling yourself that you don't like him. The more you deny it the more it is going to eat at you. Call him,' Seth exclaimed pushing the phone back into my hands.
" Ugh, ok fine. But if he says something stupid, I will beat you," I warned. Seth nodded and smiled. I dialed the number and put the phone to my ear. I was hoping no one picked up the phone.
" Hello," the husky voice said on the other end. Dammit why did he have to answer. " Hello?"
" Oh hi." I said. Seth covered his mouth to keep from laughing out loud.
"Leah?'
" That's my name."
" Oh. What's up?" he asked. I could tell by the sound of his, he was at a lost for words too.
"Nothing. Seth made me call you," Seth hit my leg and mouthed ' Tell him you are in love with him'. I hit him back and said ' I am not in love.' He started to make kissing noises and hugged himself.
" It's good to hear that you two are talking again. Um I'm sorry about earlier. I should not have acted like an ass," Jacob sighed. Aw he said sorry. Leah you better toughen up.
" Yea whatever." Seth snatched the phone from me.
" Jacob just ask her out already. Stop with the games," Seth said as I tried to snatch the phone back. " How about you come over now… ok see you then." Seth hung up the phone and smiled at me.
" Seth why would you do that? I am going to kill you.' I tackled him and started to tickle him.
" I'm sorry…stop with the tick…tickling," he pushed me off onto the floor.
" Ouch you dweeb." I got up and rubbed my head.
" Hey Jake come on in, Leah is in her room," I heard Seth say to Jacob. I could hear Jacob approaching my room and I tried to keep my cool on the bed. Breath Leah, why the hell are you nervous anyway? Jacob stood in front of my door way and knocked on the open the door.
" Obviously you can come in," I said sarcastically. Jacob smirked and came in, he sat next to me on my bed.
" Hi," he said looking at me with those damn sexy eyes.
" Hi."
" I'm sorry about-"
" How many damn times are you going to say sorry?" I asked getting a little irritated with the s word.
" Hey I'm just trying to be nice here."
"Ok well thanks. Why can't you be nice all the time?"
" Why can't you be nice all the time?" Jacob mocked my question. I rolled my eyes and smirked.
" Nice does not exist in Leah Clearwater's vocabulary. Thank you very much, Black."
" Oh really? Is that true?" Jacob inched closer to my face. He was giving me that ' you know you want my body' look.
" You looking at me like that will not get you back on my good side. You are in the dog house," I looked away from him because it was getting to me.
" Will this get me out of the dog house," he asked kissing my neck. His lips lingered on the spot awaiting for my response. I closed my eyes as the sensation lit that fire in my body. This boy knew how to make a girl give in.
" Nope," I whispered as he kiss the other side of my neck. I could not take the teasing anymore. " Damn it stop.' I pushed him away.
"Heat a little too hot huh," Jacob smirked. His ego was bigger than his head. I glared at him and attempted to push him off my bed. " What? Hey I was being nice to you at least."
" Yea but tomorrow you will be showing your ass again. You really need to go see someone because I think you are bipolar. It's very sad and quite disturbing if you ask me," I grabbed one of my pillows and held it to my chest bringing my legs up to meet it. Jacob grabbed one of my legs and pulled it on top of his thigh. " Why are you doing this?" I asked him. He began to massage my thigh and smirked at me.
"I want you to forgive me that's why. I will try not to be an ass but when you are a shape-shifter that is kind of hard,' Jacob laughed and ran his warm hand up and down my leg. Why the hell was I letting him do this? I looked down at his hand and rolled my eyes. Don't you hate when your mind was telling you one thing but your body was telling you another? Well my mind suddenly went on mute and my body is like hell yeah let him do whatever he likes. Ugh sometimes I hated myself. This whole going soft for Jacob was starting to make me want to pull all my hair out and then maybe Jacob would leave town in horror.
" You got quite,' Jacob said interrupting my mindversation. He was giving me that sexy look that he had been giving me for the past few days. " Something must be bothering you again, you are blanking out again."
' My mind is arguing with me, that's all."
"Your mind is crazy and confused Clearwater,' Jacob slapped my leg. I punched him in the arm causing him to almost fall off the bed.
" Don't call me crazy or confused, maybe I am that way because of a certain person," I replied snatching my leg away from his grip.
" Is this certain person irresistible because of his hot body and undeniable charm," Jacob winked at me and moved closer to me.
I frowned at him and laid back on my stuffed pink elephant. Ok, I seem to do the dumbest things possible. Laying down in front of Jacob Black will just give him the invitation to either lay on you, tickle you, or have his way with you. No I have not experienced him having his way with me. Not yet at least. Ugh, shut up mind will ya? Jacob laid down next to me and grabbed a strain of my hair.
" This is very complicating," he whispered in my ear. I knew exactly what he was talking about. Our relationship with each other was complicating. One moment we hated each other and the next we were flirting. We had kissed numerous times and yet we were still friends. If you don't call that complicating I don't know what is.
" Yea I know," I said staring up at the ceiling.
"It doesn't have to be though." Jacob stopped twirling my hair in his fingers and turned my face to look at him. I can turn my own head, why must he keep doing it for me?
" What do you mean by that?"
" I have no idea," Jacob smiled and his hand dropped from my cheek. This time I leaned in and captured his lips. I don't know what made me do it, my mind had stopped talking to me again. I could tell Jacob was surprised because his lips didn't move with mine at first.
He finally loosened up and joined me in the kiss. This kiss was different from all the other ones we shared. The other ones were so rushed and although there was passion and fire, there was no true meaning. His warm lips caressed mine softly not leaving a single bruise. His hand slid under me rolling me onto my back. I pulled him on top of me and the heat of our bodies ravished my mind. Our lips disconnected and his lips traveled to my neck and made a path back to my jaw line. I let a small moan escape my lips and my arms traveled to Jacob's back holding him in place. His hands went to the bottom of my shirt lifted it slightly questioning if it was ok for them to go further. After a few seconds he finally lifted my shirt from my body.
" No fair,' I said grabbing the hem of his shirt and lifted it. He smirked and helped me pull it off.
" So you are going to let this happen?" Jacob asked me sitting up. I sat up and leaned against the head board. My mind had once again abandoned me. Did I really want this to happen with Seth downstairs probably wondering if we had killed each other yet? Did I want to do this and risk Jacob acting like an ass afterward ( that's when I would have to kill him)? What would this mean if I let this happen?
" We don't have to Lee," Jacob said pulling his shirt back on. I put my hand on his arm and pulled the shirt away. I put my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. His lips crashed into mine.
This time we let our bodies do the talking…
AN: Ok so there it Chapter 13 which about drove me bonkers. It literally took me three days to write it because I could not think anymore. lol. My mind failed me. I also changed the rating to T, I don't even know why I had it at Rated M. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.
I'm sure you all are wondering what they hell is wrong with Leah and Jacob? Well they don't even know because they are both troubled souls. Sometimes things are just terribly complicating, especially when two people like each other but find it hard acknowledging it. Several of us have probably experienced some complications like these. If you haven't then you really don't want to, it will make you crazy!
Reviews are lovely!
