PERFECT SYMMETRY
11. Wreckage
"He is going to come back"Nessie says "He always does" for you Leah thinks but doesn't say anything. She looks out the window wishing Nessie's words are true, even though she knows that it won't mean nothing if he does come back. Because it will be for his imprint, never her. He has no right to be mad at her, she didn't wish for Sam. Maybe there was a time when she did, but not anymore, she loves him he knows it.
"Leeanne"Quil says seriously, the name usually bother her but tonight she doesn't even look his way. Embry shakes his head at his best friend, and they share secret looks, with both girls watching them. Seth who has barely touched his food all night keeps stealing glances at his sister worriedly.
"We'll do the dishes"Embry offers and Leah nods absentmindedly, she takes another zip from the glass of red wine on the counter and keeps her eyes fixed on the forest, waiting for him to come back.
The sound of a door opening breaks her daze, but it's not the front one, but the bathroom. Sam comes out bare chested, with a towel draped across his shoulders. Seth's worry turns into fury and he glares at his former alpha, before leaving the dinner table abruptly. Leah lets out a sigh, and starts serving another plate. It's funny how she has turned into her cousin overnight.
"How are Jared and Paul?"Sam asks trying to stir up some conversation.
"Why don't you go ask them"Nessie mutters, and Quil, and Embry muffle their laughter.
"Bed time" Leah shakes her head. "Now. Quil" He takes her cue and abandons the table with both girls. Leah makes it a point to keep Embry sitting where he is, the last thing she needs is Jake coming back and finding her and Sam alone again.
"Jared and Kim, moved in together. They're getting married at the end of summer."Leah offers "Rachel is still in therapy, but other than that they're doing great."
"So you and Quil are living here too?"Sam asks turning his attention to the man in question. Embry nods reluctantly but doesn't elaborate.
Leah gets up out of the blue, rushing to the porch. Sam makes an attempt to follow her, when he too sees Jacob emerging out of the woods.
"Don't"but Embry stops him."You're only goint to make it worse" And the first thing he sees is Leah slapping Jacob and shoving him back into the 's yelling and he's screaming right back at her.
And the nagging feeling that he wants it to be worse is there. He loves her, he isn't letting go that easy.
