PERFECT SYMMETRY
43. I want but I can't
She doesn't even have the energy to care. Or worse be angry at her brother for telling on her. Her mother is right, she hadn't planned on mentioning the failed proposal at all. To be honest Leah hadn't even discussed her relationship with her, a point Sue had stressed over the last half hour enough. Still she couldn't be sure, because she had pretty much tuned her out after the first ten minutes of scolding.
How old did her mother think she was anyways.
Sue had started a new life when she had moved in with Charlie Swan, and while Leah thought it might have been too soon at first. She has finally accepted that her mother has the right to move on. So if Seth didn't resent her for it and was able to fend for himself, Leah couldn't keep resenting Sue for the both of them. She had bigger and more important things to worry about.
Holding grudges and bitternes is a weight she's glad she got rid of.
"I'm waiting"Sue says sternly blocking the kitchen entrance
"What do you want me to say mom"Leah replies backing up and sitting on one of the high stools.
"An explanation would be nice"Sue walks over and sits right next to her. "Leah you did the right thing here" . Her voice turns a sweet tone, Leah hasn't heard in ages. And that's what manages to unleash her sleeping temper.
"Really mom? And how the hell would you know that?" Leah said getting off and starting to pace the kitchen to avoid looking at her mother.
"Don't talk to me like that"Sue scolded, her tone matching her daughter's "You can't marry that boy"
"He's not a boy"Leah grits out "Damn it mom, open your eyes. I'm not your little girl anymore than Seth is a boy. None of them are. Especially Jacob."
"Phasing has nothing to do-"
"But it does. It has everything to do. Seriously mom in what kind of reality are you living? He's finally living up to his stupid heritage and you think he's a boy?!"
"Just listen."
"No, you listen. How was it the right thing, when he hasn't come home in two weeks. I know he's hurting probably more than I am."
"Oh my god Leah, you want to marry him?"
"It doesn't matter what I want. It's what I can or not. And right now I can't marry him"
