"Not yet though." She grinned, "I've only just met him."

Evan's POV

I'm being whupped. Severely. I sighed. Bloody hell, I'm getting my arse handed to me. Then I considered it properly. They were vampires. They had mad, crazy speed and insane skills. And I was human. And pretty shit at video games under normal circumstances, so you know, I was never going to win.

I rested the controller in my lap, pretending to concentrate but letting my thoughts drift back to Leah every so often. I wondered if she wanted to get away from here. And why the hell she hadn't imprinted of any of the guys up here. All of them were gorgeous - all of them had these stunning amber eyes, incredible faces, like… I was straight as hell, but I would happily sit there and watch Jasper all day. He was just that pretty.

My thoughts switched back to Leah almost immediately. Was I jealous of the guys who so clearly knew her better? Was it me? Or was it because I cared about her that I didn't want to consider her with anyone else? Was it that I didn't want anyone to?

"Aww, man, he's not even trying!" Emmett folded his arms and put the controller down.

"C'mon, Evan! Try and beat us!" Jasper patted me on the back and I think he may have fractured my spine. "Aww, shit!" He looked at me as I doubled over, "Did I hurt you man?"

"Kinda, yeah." He laughed and I sighed, shaking my head. Then Jasper froze and I looked at him. Emmett froze a couple of seconds later.

"Jazz, man, you alright?" He murmured, barely moving his lips.

"Yeah. Superior excitement coming from the kitchen."

"Sorry?" I looked at him. He was grinning madly, staring into the kitchen doorway as though he was going to burst out in a happy dance any second.

"I pick up on people's emotions," He supplied quickly, still listening to the conversation. "And right now, Rose is feeling like she's going to explode with excitement."

"Right." I turned back the game without thinking, and, seeing that I had an opening, I tried to hammer my way through the level past the two vampires on either side of me.

My thoughts drifted back into incredulity as I thought about the boys around me, and the gorgeous Rosalie sitting in the kitchen. Damn, it was nearly worth becoming a vampire to look like them… but then again, surely being human is the reason we are here. I looked at Jasper and Emmett again, they looked back at me.

"It's either guilt or jealousy." Jasper grinned with a laugh.

"I… just…" I felt a wave of relaxation cross me and I looked at Jasper. "I just think you guys are more suited to Leah than I ever could be." Jasper frowned at me then, suddenly confused. "I mean… you guys are funny, smart… obviously excellent Gamers… and you're beautiful-"

"But you're Leah's soul mate." Emmett supplied and smiled at me. I felt far happier as he grinned and shook his head. "Dude, you gotta have some faith."

"Faith?"

"Well, you know. You gotta believe you're worth it."

"Right." I nodded and shook my head. "Course." another pause. "I'll keep reminding myself of that." He laughed and I sighed. When Leah and Rosalie appeared from the kitchen, I tensed slightly, wondering what the hell was going to happen next, what supernatural creature was next on our visiting list.

Turns out she just sat down in my lap and wrapped her arms tight around me. I grinned and hugged her back, allowing her to turn my head and press her lips to mine.

Jasper's POV

Her ex boyfriend? I sat and played absent-mindedly with the controller, barely concentrating on what I was doing, shooting sound effects rocketing around my head but nothing going in and registering. I watched him sitting on the floor, Leah on his lap, holding onto him for fear of falling onto the floor.

I liked Leah - she was a good friend of mine, I suppose - and for a long time, I'd been concerned about her finding happiness - though that's not to say she hasn't had her moments, such as the time she accidentally set fire to Emmet's shirt at the beach with Jacob and his pack. It was Nessie's birthday and we'd been building a bonfire… and then we realised Leah was a little more drunk than we'd thought, and had some fun with Edward's cigarette lighter. We put him out eventually though.

I respected her for that, she had wanted to do it for ages - ever since he attempted to dump her in a tub full of sheep dip to try and get rid of the she-Beta-Wolf stench. It hadn't worked, and Emmett had learned to keep Leah in his sights at all times.

I was slightly disheartened as they left, Leah taking my new friend away again. I liked Evan, he said what he felt, and if he were a little bit scared, he would mention it and look away, back to the game. He seemed to be the perfect opposition to Leah - she wanted to be the most complex person ever, not letting on to how she feels, not saying a word unless you almost force it out of her, while Evan seemed to be the kind of guy who could cope with that and help her to unwind, as long as he could keep her out of the way of other people for long enough to scratch past her solidly unbreakable surface.

Leah's POV

I held his hand as we walked through the door, knowing that Max and Seth were probably having the full-on makeout session just behind the wood panelling. He caught the groan that came from Max, audible even through the living room doorway, and looked at me, flushing bright red.

"You alright?"

"I'm not gonna be able to stay here long," He said softly, looking pointedly into the living room, shaking his head. "I don't think I could cope with them getting…" He didn't have to finish his sentence; I just wrapped my arms around him and let him hold me. He knew I would be able to take the pain away, but… I don't think he would trust that I could do it immediately.

I rubbed his shoulder gently as I pulled away; he grinned at me and let his lips rest on my cheek for a long minute. When he heard the living room door open, he looked quickly at me and jerked his head, gesturing that we should go and hang out.

I shook my head and gestured to the kitchen. The vamps hadn't fed either of us, but as we were busy, we hadn't been hungry, because we hadn't been thinking about it. I smiled as he nodded and offered me his arm, looking at me for the longest time.

"Would you ever want to go away from here?" He asked as we sat down at the table. I was struck by the sheer front he had to ask me. Maybe La Push wasn't where I was meant to end up, something I had considered a million times before.

"I've thought about it so many times, you know." I replied without a little hesitation. "That's why, normally, I'm never at home." A pause where he smiled at me for a second. "I'd love to get out, to be honest with you." He grinned at me and I blushed. "Why?"

"Curious, that's all, really." But I could tell by the look in his eyes that he wasn't exactly spectacular at lying, his eyes trying to hide everything that I could see so clearly. His bottom lip was being chewed to death without his conscious knowledge, as he sucked it and released a long, sighing breath.

"Oh. Right." He nodded and I smiled at him, his eyes went bright for a second and he joined me on that side of the table. "Because?"

"Just because, alright?"

"Yeah." I decided I would relent for now, and watched him as he rose and went to the fridge, pulling out a load of drink and food. "You hungry?"

"Starving. I was up early this morning, remember?" I had accidentally woken him when I had got up for my early morning run. Granted, I had fallen asleep on top of him on the living room sofa, which would explain why my movements would disturb him, but even so, I have fallen asleep on Jake before, and he has never woken up when I have. I laughed as I thought about it, and decided I would help him make some dinner. But not before I terrified him by pulling him close and holding him as though we were going to dance

"Sorry…" I grinned sheepishly as he went to tell me off, for moving too fast, as he had put it three nights ago. I laughed as he opened and closed his mouth twice, just looking at me, confused.

"Uh… I-" He looked at me for a long second, speechless. "How do you always know what to say to me?" He seemed stunned, and I couldn't help but smile. His arms enveloped me in a tight hug and I looked at him, watching him for half a minute.

"I just do." He nodded and took my hand again, playing with my fingers. "Just… I do."

Max's POV

I heard the door open, but Seth distracted me by pulling me into his lap and making me laugh like hell as he kissed me lightly on the nose, then pulled me closer and kissed me all the way from my forehead down to my lips.

I sighed as I heard Evan's voice, saying something about not being able to stay, not being able to stand being here. It hurt me to know I was doing it to him, but I also knew that he wasn't going to be able to resist Leah forever. My fingers slipped on the doorframe as I went to get a drink and say hi, and I was stopped in my tracks as he wrapped his arms around her and held her for a long, long while.
