PERFECT SYMMETRY
39. Past the return point.
"What the hell is this?!!" Seth cringes when he hears his sister scream. He looks over at Quil, and the latter nods and picks up Claire.
"Come on Nessie"Seth urges the girl, as Quil opens the door. They're leaving the house, before world war three breaks out. They tried to convince Jake that it was a really bad idea, but the guy is stubborn.
Well then he deserves whatever its coming his way.
Upstairs it's showdown. Rachel is observing the couple argue on one corner of the room. Her brother asked her to come to help and convince Leah. He was delusional, she wasn't even going to attempt to it. Honestly the only reason she's there is to make sure Leah doesn't murder her little brother. It would be kind of a sad, since he's the leader of the tribe and all that.
And well there's the fact that Leah's is love with the moron she would have to live with the guilt and regret for the rest of her life. And Leah's her best friend, she had to look out for her.
"Seriously have you completely lost it?"The vein in her neck pops, which is a sign that she's royally pissed off. And Jacob's really on the border of line of being kicked in the nads, or worse a single man.
And instead of backing off he was all over her face yelling back "Won't you just listen?"
"And why should I, when you certainly haven't been listening to anything I say to you. Do you think I'm playing Jacob or overreacting?!" She doesn't wait for him to answer because she really doesn't want to hear any of it.
"I told you all there was to it, that day"Leah turned around "And I thought you knew where we stood"
"I just think-"
She ignores him and keeps talking over him "This fucking plane ticket shows me you don't and that all you said that day was bullshit."
"I just think it would be smart if Carlisle took some samples, before you shut down the possibility, for fuck's sake, why do you have to twist everything I say or do, and play victim"
"I'm playing victim? You're such a hypocrite!"She yells this time shoving him hard and towards the door.
"Leah-"
"I can't" It's a murmur and she turns around. "Maybe-"
"Don't give me that crap"Rachel takes her cue to leave then, he's just as pissed, and she doesn't want to witness that. "Don't you fucking dare to say it"
"It's okay to want kids Jake" There's some softness in her voice that makes Jacob feel cold. "I get it, maybe it would be better for everyone if we just-"
"No!Damn it Leah!!"They're way to deep in, to even consider a breakup. They're past the return point. They've jumped all the way in. There's no going back.
"It's not about the kids"He sits next to her on the bed "It's about you getting everything you want. Everything you deserve that and more" And somehow after screwing up so bad when this whole ordeal started, he manages to save his ass with the mouth that got him on trouble to begin with.
At least for now.
a/N: sorry! it took me a day.
