Hey guyyys. I know that last update that went out took FOREVER, but i had a severe case of writer's block and a sever case of no free time, but I've gotten freshly inspired. I hope you like this one, because it was kinda difficult to write. Buut, i think I'll be starting on some of my crossover stories, and at the same time keep updating this one. I hope you like it (:

Bella:

I didn't get it, what was so wrong with her? She seemed to have a little bit of an attitude, yes, but everybody has bad days, right?

That's what I thought, until I tried introducing myself to her. I'd at least tried being nice to her, which was more than she could say for herself.

Ha, the phrase "if looks could kill" came to mind. I didn't realize that I had laughed out loud until Jacob looked at me as if I was crazy and asked what was funny.

I told him it was nothing, because he would probably really think I was crazy if I told him.

He had told me about the story between Sam, Leah, and Emily, and it was kind of sad.

But it didn't faze me, no pun intended. I still hung out at La Push pretty much every day, even if she didn't want me there. Every time I would sit on Jakes lap, or give him a hug, or anything of the type, she would give me her signature death stare, but I didn't care, I was there to see Jacob, not her.

Other than all of the bitterness, I always thought that Leah was an okay person. She had her good days, and then her bad, like I, so who was I to judge?

So the pack, Emily, Billy, and I were all packed into Billy's small living room watching a Mariner's game on Saturday. I'd never found much interest in sports, but Jacob was explaining everything to me in my ear, and I found that once I understood baseball, it was actually pretty interesting.

We all heard the front porch door slam shut and all of our eyes went to the hallway, when Leah appeared in the doorway.

"So, when are we gonna get some leech-hunting action?! I'm bored to tears here!"

The room was silent in a heartbeat, and everybody's eyes were switching between Leah's confused face, and my flabbergasted one.

As the tears started welling up in my eyes, I looked around the room, to find that everybody was just staring at me now. I couldn't take it, I had to get out of there. I got up and shoved past Leah, slammed the front door behind me, and walked out to the end of the long gravel driveway, trying to catch my breath and analyze what had just happened.

There was a lot of yelling in the house. What they were saying, I couldn't be sure, not that I wanted to know. I could tell that most of the yelling was between Jacob and Leah, with Sam trying to intervene every now and then. Eventually I just tuned them out.

Jacob had a knack for knowing when I needed my space, and thankfully, he gave it to me, which was greatly appreciated from me.

I heard the slam of the front storm door, and I knew it would be Jacob so I didn't bother turning around to face him.

Or so I'd thought it was him.

I felt a hand on my shoulder that spun me around so fast I was momentarily dizzy.

I was face to face with Leah. Leah with her natural, woodsy beauty, and her signature murderous glare, looking me in the face. Definitely not Jake.

"Who do you think you are?" Leah screamed at me, and I flinched away from her.

Lamely, all I said was, "E- ….Excuse me?"

Every inch of her was shaking uncontrollably. I knew that at any minute she could phase and I would be done for.

"You heard me! I can't say ONE thing without everybody jumping down my goddamn THROAT. It's like I have to watch EVERY single thing I say, and all because YOU got screwed over by some filthy BLOOD-SUCKER. So he didn't want you. BIG. DEAL. It happened to me, & I dealt with it, so you sure as hell can. Now get over yourself and get on with your life!"

And with that, she phased and was gone. All that was left were here footprints on the ground, and shreds of what used to be clothing.

All the guys came rushing out, Jacob running to my side, and all the other guys going behind the house to get undressed and phase. They spread out in all different directions. Billy watched all of this from the porch.

Jacob was talking to me, but my brain wasn't really comprehending any words that came out of his mouth.

For those first few initial moments, both my mind and body were unaware to what was going on around me. It was like that numbness I had been searching for so many months ago had finally returned, and it was bitter sweet. This bliss only lasted for a few seconds, and then every emotion that had been hidden ever since I was with Jacob forced their way out, and I collapsed to the ground, a sobbing mess.

Jacob:

I watched my Bella storm out the door and storm outside, stopping at the end of the driveway. I didn't follow her because I knew at this point she just needed her space.

"What's wrong with her?" Leah asked with a slight smile playing on her lips. Her smile faded as she took a look around the room. I couldn't believe she had the nerve.

In seconds I was in Leah's face.

"Are you STUPID or something?!" I yelled at her, fuming. "Why would you say something like that?"

"Oh come ON Jake, don't act like you don't say stuff like that all the time. What did I do?"

"Couldn't you keep your mouth shut, just this ONCE? You knew she was over here, and you knew not to say stuff like that around her."

"Am I stupid? Really. You're in love with a girl who's using you. You're nothing but a rebound. You're so blind, Jacob Black. She's clearly still in love with him. You've seen for yourself what he's done to her. Do you really want to compete with that? Because if you want to, be my guest. But when the pack comes calling and you're with her, what're you going to do? Are you going to ignore us, your blood, your family, or are you going to leave her when she needs you. You think you're so different from her other guy. Are you really so different?"

"I would never..." I couldn't muster up any words to describe my love for her.

Sam chose then to intervene.

"Leah, I think you need to leave." He said it with the authority in his voice that nobody could ignore.

"You might want to get your priorities straight before you get her too involved." She walked out the door and slammed it so that everybody in the house jumped.

I turned to Sam, not having gotten everything out of my system.

"Did you even bother to tell her?"

"Jake, yes. I did."

"I need to go see her," I said, heading for the door.

"No, you don't. Look at you, you're trembling all over. You might hurt her, and you'll never forgive yourself for it."

I just turned around and stared at him. How could he say such a thing like that? He knew what it was like to imprint. But then again, he also knew what it was like to hurt his imprint, even if you loved her unconditionally. Emily was proof of that. And he was right. He always was. If I was to hurt Bella, I could never, ever forgive myself. "No, Sam. I have control enough for this."

That's when I heard the yelling coming from outside. I could see out the window that Leah was in Bella's face, and the look on her face was just plain scared. I had caught the conversation at the very end. Everybody's eyes traced my gaze outside just in time to see Leah faze and be off. Bella looked up at the house, not really seeing anything.

I was out of the house in a matter of seconds, and running to her side. Just before I got to her, she crumpled to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

As I carried her into the house I saw the pack (all in wolf form, except for Sam) to split up and look for Leah.

"You're sure that you're okay here with her? You won't lose control?" I knew he only meant for the best, but it still angered me.

"Yeah," I said, "I got this. When you find Leah, I want to be the first to speak to her. Alone."

Sam did nothing but nod solemnly before running behind the house to get undressed and faze.

I took Bella inside and layed her down on my bed. She was clinging to me for dear life, and shivering.

I called my dad into the room and asked him to give Charlie an excuse as to why she'd be spending the night. I knew Charlie wouldn't have a problem with it, we just needed a good reason so that he wouldn't get suspicious. Charlie wasn't in the know, and for now, we wanted to keep him like that for as long as humanly possible.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning I woke up pretty early, around nine or so, and Bella was still out. She looked dead tired, but still peaceful. I layed there thinking for a while, daydreaming about moments Bella and I had together, and about Leah.

Why would Leah act like that. I understood that she is part of the pack, and that she hated those blood-suckers as much as I did. But she knew how Bella was sensitive to stuff like that. Sam and I told her the entire story. But, even though Bella had once been friends with them, did that give Leah any reason to hate her by association? I didn't think so, but my view on the matter wasn't exactly a fair one.

Bella stirred, waking me up from my daydreaming. When she opened her eyes, she stared at me for a moment, before she gasped and sat bolt upright.

"What about Charlie?! Where is he?! Does he know I'm here?! Oh, I bet he's just freaking out..." She was more mumbling this then really talking to me. She started to get out of bed, when I grabbed her arm, and she looked at me.

"Bella-"

"Where's Leah? Did they ever find her? Has Charlie come looking for me?"

"Bella, you-"

"Jacob, I have to get home-"

"BELLA!"

She stopped and looked at me for a second, and then visibly relaxed. She practically melted back into my arms.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at me. There were a million questions in her eyes, but she just didn't have the energy to bring up what had happened yesterday.

She layed there silently for a few moments, just looking at me, until tears started welling up in her eyes.

I just gathered her into an awkward sort of hug and held her, until the sobs that wracked her body would be gone, and she'd calm down, and we would talk it out.

Soo, that's it! I know you guys are waiting for a little bit of action, and it's coming soon, i promise! I just reaalllyy hope you guys like it. Review, comment, whatever it is you lovely people do!
