PERFECT SYMMETRY

19. Bad Situations

Leah believes she's afforded a little bit of vanity, so she looks at herself on the mirror and notices the already fading pink scars. They have almost closed. She brings her hand up and with her finger she follows the lines but involuntarily winces when she brushes a spot that hasn't closed.

"I feel so awful"Rachel says passing her another cotton with alcohol. As Leah cleans the opening again. She feels light headed. Rachel said she lost a little bit of blood, that might explain her dizziness.

"You should" Leah doesn't remember much. One moment Sam was pulling her, the next one he was phasing. She remembers the scene as a flash, but she doesn't remember the pain. Rachel said she lost consciousness as soon as it happened. And well the rest was even less pretty.

Jacob had gone ballistic, and apparently he was too busy trying to kill Sam to be at her side. Not that the son of a bitch wasn't guilty as well. Jacob should've known better than to phase inside Jared's place and then provoke Sam. And apparently Sam's control was non existant right now since he had scarred her in a very Emily fashion kind of way.

Leah was not alarmed at all. She trusted her pack brothers to keep them both alive. And as soon as they brought them back, she was going to do some murdering or ball crushing of her own. She hadn't decided yet.

"Where's Emily?"Leah finally asked Rachel.

"She had to leave. It was a bit too close to home"Rachel simply said "And the blood even with the smell, it was all too much for her. She said she would get some fresh air and promised to come back."Of course it was a bit too close to home. Leah remembered how Emily flinched at the sight of tremors on Sam's body, back when she was still human and his imprint. It seemed that not even with the super vampire qualities she had acquired, could she overcome that fear.

However Leah was not traumatized. The fact that if she had been human it would've been Emily all over again had made her snap instead. The rivalry had to stop. And Rachel had to stop fueling it.

"I hope you know I won't tolerate any of your shit anymore"Leah phrased as she looked at her flawless face in the mirror once again.

"I just don't want you becoming her. Emily" Rachel speaks standing up next to her friend both looking into the mirror.

"It doesn't seem like it"Leah exhales, exhaustion taking over her face.

"Bringing up Sam at any chance you've got. I don't understand, are you upset I'm with your brother?"

"It's not about them. It's about you"Rachel says frustrated turning away "We were supposed to grow out of it. Leave, go into the white world. At least I had the imprint to blame but you.."

"You stopped being angry. I thought you would finally have a chance to leave. But now its seems like they've tied you and you have happily let go of everything and instead you are living for them. For her and him. And Seth and Claire, and the pack. It's like you traded one bad situation for a an even worse one"

"It's different"Leah states "And I don't expect you to understand Rachel"Her voice is not condescending. "But I am asking you to stop interfering."

"It's funny how when you're denied something, you start wanting it"Rachel said sadly "Because I could swear cooking, cleaning and raising children didn't occupy your mind a long time ago".

Rachel walks out and the truth in her words leaves Leahfeeling void, empty.

a/N: hahahahaha im sorry for the chapter im just not clear headed right now hahahaha i think... hope you like it.

for this chapter i got inspired by hilja's review. She pointed out if Leah would be content taking on Emily's role for the long run. And oh well. Rachel who I like to think as a complicated character points it 's more to why she's being a bitch to Leah and I just hope I'll find a way to bring it out on later chapters.
