PERFECT SYMMETRY

41. Chocolate eyes

She finds her on Claire's and her bedroom. She's sitting on the chair right next to the window. The light that filters through the thin veiled curtains makes her skin almost simmer. But her eyes look cold, almost dead, completely void of emotion. They remind her of some of the vampires she met on only difference being Leah's eyes are not red. Her irises are brown,. They remind her of sweet chocolate, the one's that's actually kind of good, not that dark chocolate that's too strong and makes her lips twitch

She might be a kid, but she notices how Leah turns away from her ever so slightly. Her eyes completely fixed upon the front yard. She understands, but at the time she doesn't. However she's smart enough to keep from asking her to explain.

She had never been rejected by Jacob, let alone yelled or looked at with something other than love. Today his eyes had been black, like that disgusting chocolate. He looked angry at her, and he had made it perfectly clear he didn't want to see her. She hadn't felt so heartbroken since the day she had learned her parents had died.

His words were reverberating through her ears.

She doesn't want me because of you.

She had tried to get Leah to see her and Jacob's view. But she was stubborn and refusing to marry him. And Jacob was now going to blame her for it and hate her. And she didn't want that. She loved both of them, and she wanted them to be happy. So she was doing the only thing she could think of.

She was leaving. Her aunt Rose would've jumped literally on the air, had she been a human when she told her.

"I'm going back to Italy" Nessie whispered knowing she could perfectly hear her. She tensed her little body secretly wanting Leah to freak out.

"No, you're not"She replied calmly, but still not looking back at her.

"Yes I am"Nessie countered her voice raising. "I am leaving you can't make me stay"

"You don't want to leave"And the coldness in her eyes had completely melted out. She looked wistful, and it only served to upset Nessie further more.

"I do!"She screeched "I don't want to be here!!" Leah took it as an invitation to get out of the chair and walk towards a now crying Nessie.

"Come here"Leah said sitting on the bed instead and extending her arms as an invitation into her brace. Nessie only shook her head vehemently as she tried to get control of her emotions, but Leah paid no mind.

As soon as their skin made contact, Leah could see Jacob's crumpled face, the despair, the anger, Nessie's fear, and how upset she was. Nessie couldn't control her mins sharing powers when she was too upset. And Leah was too overwhelmed by it. She hugged Nessie even ahrder, as the poor girl wailed.

"He loves you and so do I"Leah whispered into her auburn locks "What happens between us has nothing to do with you. And you're not going anywhere baby." Leah dropped a kiss on the girl's head. She felt bad for lying but she was just a child, and it wasn't her fault.

Leah didn't blame her. It was at times like these, that she really hated Bella Swan for living and then for dying.
